Ji Siyue couldn't bear such courtesy and quickly agreed. Only then did she manage to see the girls off.
Before leaving, they took a group photo with Ji Siyue and asked if they could post it on Weibo. Ji Siyue shrugged and said, "Feel free!"
After seeing the girls off, Ji Siyue rummaged around and finally found an unused clay pot. She washed the medicinal herbs and dumped them all in, then started simmering them over a low fire.
Two hours later, when the people upstairs finished their after - game analysis and stepped out of the sound - proof room, they were all shocked.
It smelled bitter and fishy, just like Chinese herbal medicine.
What kind of magical food was Ji Siyue cooking this time?
Xingxing asked Qin Chengyao in horror, "Captain, we're not going to eat something that smells like this, are we?"
Qin Chengyao's eyebrows twitched a bit, but he still patted Xingxing on the shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry. The ingredients must be good stuff."
Bai Yu said coldly beside them, "But when they're put together, it won't be good food. Let's go downstairs."
When everyone went downstairs, Ji Siyue was filtering the dregs of the medicine. When she saw Nangong Qi, she immediately shouted, "Nangong! Come here! I've got something good for you!"
Hearing this, Nangong Qi's face froze. Everyone else looked at him pityingly, but no one came to his rescue.
"Team leader... Can I say something before I die?"
"You can."
"I love you."
Everyone: "..."
Ji Siyue: "You won't die. Come here. This isn't for drinking. A girl said just now that her grandfather is a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and washing hands with this makes them feel better."
Only then did Nangong Qi go over half - doubtfully. He dipped his finger into the boiling medicinal soup to test it. After a while, when the soup cooled down a bit, he soaked his wrist in it.
Actually, Nangong Qi had tried this kind of thing before. But the higher his hopes, the greater his disappointment. So gradually he had gotten used to not having too much hope and just giving it a try casually.
But this time, when everyone was about to go for dinner, Nangong Qi picked up his wrist in amazement, moved it a couple of times, and his face was full of shock.
"Damn! It's amazing! This medicinal soup is like oil for my rusty joints. It doesn't hurt at all!!!"
His shout made everyone freeze. Ji Siyue was the first one to rush over. Even though her leg hurt, she still charged forward and grabbed Nangong Qi's wrist.
Nangong Qi's hand smelled like a nauseating Chinese herbal medicine, as if it had been marinated in the medicinal juice. But at the same time, his wrist seemed to have swollen less, and he said it didn't hurt... Could it be...
Could this medicine really work?
Thinking of this, Ji Siyue forced herself to calm down and said, "Don't make a big deal out of it for now. Let's wait and see if there will be any adverse reactions to your hand in a few days. Then I'll talk to that girl."
Just like this, a few days passed. Nangong Qi's hand flared up again, but this time it wasn't as painful as before. It seemed that it was really because of the medicinal soup.
Only then did Ji Siyue really contact the girl named Qingqing.
[The other party has accepted your friend request.]
[Ji Siyue: Qingqing, are you there?]
Six minutes later.
[Qingqing: I'm here. Sorry, I was busy in the store just now.]
[Ji Siyue: Is it a Chinese medicine store?]
[Qingqing: Yes. It's my grandfather's Chinese medicine store. Did Nangong Qi use the medicine last time? Is he feeling better? If it didn't work, my grandfather and I have developed a new formula. Do you want to give it a try?]
[Ji Siyue: It worked. Nangong Qi's swelling went down, and the effect was very obvious the first time he used it.]
[Qingqing: That's great. I'll send you the prescription later. You can get the medicine anywhere! Didn't you throw away the last batch of medicinal soup? Just pour a little of the previous soup into the new one as a medicinal primer when you boil it each time! Boil the used soup until it becomes a paste, stick it on a cloth, and apply it to the wrist when you sleep. It will get better faster. Barring any accidents, it will be cured in a month! I've also prepared a set of internal medicine for you to regulate your nerves. It may take longer to take effect, but it should work.]
[Ji Siyue: Thank you very much. What's your address? I'll come and pick up the medicine in person later.]
[Qingqing: I'm a bit far away. I'm in the mountains. It would be too much trouble for you to come!]
[Ji Siyue: It doesn't matter. Please tell me. I also want to visit you in person to express my gratitude.]
After Ji Siyue's persistence, she finally got Qingqing's address.
At the same time, Ji Siyue also learned that Qingqing's grandfather was actually the authoritative old doctor Zhou Qingyang in the field of traditional Chinese medicine in China. Ji Siyue had wanted to visit him when her leg was ill before, but unfortunately she couldn't find him!
Now she got the chance without any effort. She really had to thank Nangong Qi!
Ji Siyue told everyone about this. Qin Chengyao immediately decided to accompany Ji Siyue there. The others would stay at the base for training. Nangong Qi originally wanted to go in person, but his hand hurt again. So Ji Siyue had to tell Zhu Zhiyao to re - heat the medicinal soup that they hadn't had time to throw away last time, boil it into a thick paste, and apply it to Nangong Qi's hand with a cloth.
Finally, Ji Siyue and Qin Chengyao set off.
With Qingqing's address, they drove straight there.
The address was in Yanshan Valley, more than a hundred kilometers away from City A. She had given the specific route, but Ji Siyue thought it would be hard to find. She prepared herself for getting lost in the mountains and brought some food and warm clothes.
Set off! All the way north!
On the way, Ji Siyue was looking at Weibo.
The group photo taken by those girls when they came to visit the day before yesterday had been posted on Weibo.
[I finally got to see the training base of GH! Oh my god! It's so luxurious! It has everything! It looks really high - class. Siyue is so nice. She even showed us around the GH training. We also greeted them! I have no regrets in this life!]
In the photo, Ji Siyue wasn't the prettiest one, but she was standing in the middle, wearing a white dress with a confident smile on her face. She looked just like... when she took the official photos covered in blood, except that her expression was more relaxed.
Qin Chengyao suddenly asked, "What are you looking at so happily?"
"Didn't some people come to visit the base the other day? Those girls posted the group photo with me on Weibo. They're still excited about finally seeing their idols!"
"Are people always excited when they see their idols?"
"Of course!" Ji Siyue put down her phone and looked at Qin Chengyao. "The reason why idols are idols is that they seem out of reach. When you suddenly get to see them, you're naturally excited!"
"According to what people say on the Internet, you're a heartbreaker," Qin Chengyao said.
