Lin Zhan stared at the comment section constantly refreshing itself, and he quietly took a screenshot for remembrance. This was the first time his cousin had commented in his Moments, and he actually did it so many times in one go!

The most mystical thing was that Su Ye had gotten the upper hand in their argument in the comment section…
After some time, Bo Zhan’s gloomy voice came from under the blanket. “Why are you still standing around? Even if you try to persuade me, it won’t be of any use! I said I won’t drink it, and I won’t!”
Bo Yunli put his phone away and tugged at his tie with some agitation. “We won’t be the ones trying to persuade you to take it. I’m bringing the person who wrote the prescription to persuade you.”
When he was speaking to Bo Zhan, he retained the respectful tone that was required of him, but his voice was especially deep. By the looks of it, he was really angry.
“I already feel like crap after seeing the medicine, and you want the stupid old man who wrote the prescription to come here and make me angrier?” Bo Zhan demanded. “Hurry up and send him away.”
When Bo Yunli heard Bo Zhan refer to Su Ye as “the stupid old man”, his dark expression became better.

After a moment, the sound of the doorknob turning rang through the silent room. The butler reported the guest’s arrival through the door. “Master Bo, Miss Su is here to visit you.”
At the same time, a flippant, female voice came from a distance. “I heard that an old man is refusing to drink his medicine because he doesn’t like bitter stuff?”
Bo Yunli looked toward the entrance. “The stupid old man” had arrived.

He looked back to the bed. At some point, his grandfather had crawled out from under the blankets and sat up straight against the headboard while giving off an imposing aura.
He looked bold and aggressive. Not a single strand of his hair was out of place.
“Ye Ye, you’re here,” Bo Zhan said confidently and with ease. “Come, sit by my side. Don’t listen to them. I just thought that it’s too hot and wanted to drink it after it cooled off…”
Before his voice could fade away, he remembered what Yunli had just said: We’ll have the person who wrote the prescription persuade you.
His kind and loving eyes dyed with an unnoticeable sharp look. “Ye Ye, you wrote the prescription? When did you learn medicine? Why have I never heard from your parents about this?”
Su Ye fluttered her long and thick eyelashes while giving him a cunning smile. “I have loved reading medical books since I was young, but I did it in secret. They don’t know about it.”
This made sense, and Bo Zhan could find no loopholes in her words.
But Bo Yunli had a probing expression. He discreetly observed Su Ye while she spoke calmly.
The butler showed full courtesy by serving the young masters and Su Ye tea. After he was done, he stood beside Bo Zhan’s bed and exchanged a smile with him when their eyes met.
He had been with Bo Zhan his entire life, so he knew his personality the best.
They only needed one glance to know what the other was thinking.
The butler “said”, ‘Miss Ye is really like the witch from the Su family. They’re even both talented in medicine.’
Bo Zhan “replied”, ‘I wouldn’t say they’re similar. They’re exactly the same. If Yunli doesn’t marry her and make her my granddaughter-in-law, I’ll send him off to be a monk.’

Su Ye sat down beside Bo Zhan’s bed. “Grandpa Bo, you need to drink your medicine while it’s hot. If it becomes cool, it’ll only be half as effective.”
Su Ye’s voice broke the master-servant “telepathy”.
“You’re right, Ye Ye.” Bo Zhan grabbed the medicine from Lin Zhan’s hands and drank it all in two seconds.
‘Better to suffer for a short period than to suffer for a long time. I’ll be free from suffering if I end this quickly.’

Once he finished drinking the medicine, he looked at Lin Zhan and rebuked him. “Why didn’t you tell me that I should drink it while it’s hot?”
The dumbfounded Lin Zhan’s eyelids twitched. ‘What’s this double standard? What sort of spell did Su Ye cast on Master Bo?’
Bo Zhan hid his pained expression too naturally. If it were not for all the sweat on his forehead, Lin Zhan would have thought that Master Bo had lost his sense of taste.
Lin Zhan smiled while crying in his heart. “S-Sorry, Master Bo.”
Master Bo drank two cups of water and cast a glance at Su Ye and Bo Yunli who were in two different corners of the room.
“Yunli, why are you so far away from Ye Ye?” he asked in puzzlement.
