Old Mr. Pei paused as he thought about Huo Xiang’s pulse before he added. “But I think you must have taken some other meds too, right?”
His words were directed at Huo Xiang.
Huo Xiang went quiet for two seconds before retrieving the glass bottle from his pocket and placed it on the table. “Uh huh. Please help me see if this medicine is for relieving excessive heat or an antidote.”
Although he had taken the medicine, there were still some remnants stuck in the bottle.
Old Mr. Pei opened the bottle, and took a whiff. His eyes opened wide as he looked at Huo Xiang excitedly. He asked in an urgent voice. “Where did you buy this?”
Huo Xiang had an inkling the moment he saw how excited Old Mr. Pei was. He went quiet for two seconds before he replied. “A friend gave it to me.”
“Is your friend a medical student?” asked Old Mr. Pei hurriedly.
“No, she isn’t.” Huo Xiang felt somewhat uncertain in his heart when he replied.
His little sister had given him both the medicine. If she knew nothing about Chinese medicine, how did she know he was poisoned and even gave him the right antidote?
A lot of questions were running through his head. However, he could only suppress his curiosity for now since Old Mr. Pei was here.
Old Mr. Pei put the glass bottle down. “Okay.” Then he stopped probing.
Old Mr. Pei knew in his heart that anyone capable of making such medicine was no ordinary Chinese medicine student and was probably far more talented than him.
“I have a question. If the poison has been neutralized like you said, does it mean my nerves are okay now?” Huo Xiang clenched his fists tightly as he looked at the old man like he was his last ray of hope.
Tong Yu hurriedly chimed in. “Yes yes. He is an entertainer and gives public performances all the time. Can he do strenuous activities like dancing?”
Old Mr. Pei picked up his red date wolfberry health drink and took a sip. He replied in a roundabout manner. “Your friend is a medical genius, but it seems you know very little about him.”
He should not have had to answer such a rookie question.
Huo Xiang could understand what Old Mr. Pei was implying, so he stood up and nodded. “Thanks for everything.”
Old Mr. Pei waved his hand. “There’s nothing to thank me for. I was no help at all.”
OId Mr. Pei asked them a few more questions before Tong Yu and Huo Xiang left the medical hall.
After they got into the car, Tong Yu started the engine and asked Huo Xiang. “Where did the antidote come from?”
Huo Xiang was still holding the glass bottle in his hand, looking at it with his eyes lowered. “My little sister gave it to me.”
“I thought only Brother Tingrui knew about your problem. How did your baby sister…” Tong Yu was puzzled.
Huo Xiang looked at his agent with a complicated expression. “Stop asking. I don’t have any answers either.”
To begin with, he only took his sister’s medicine because he found her scary. How could he tell him this, considering how embarrassing it was?
Tong Yu glanced at Huo Xiang in disdain. “How can you be so clueless about your younger sister? You’re a terrible brother.”
Huo Xiang: “…”
“No matter what, you should be glad that she is your younger sister,” sighed Tong Yu sadly.
Huo Xiang suddenly laughed. Yes, his baby sister certainly was his lucky mascot.
Ever since she came home, everything seemed to change.
Huo Xiang’s phone rang. His brows furrowed when he caught sight of the caller ID.
