I failed again

The crystal clear, amber-like candied fruits exude an alluring sweet aroma. When they meet the dark brown bowl of Chinese medicine in the mouth, it is as if a fierce battle between sweetness and bitterness begins instantly.

However, in just a moment, the rich and mellow sweetness of the candied fruit quickly overwhelmed the unbearable bitter taste of the Chinese medicine like a surging tide. The first thing the tip of the tongue felt was the sweetness, just like the warm sunshine in spring falling on the earth, bringing endless joy and satisfaction. Then, this sweetness gradually spread, penetrated into every taste bud cell, and completely dispelled the bitterness of the Chinese medicine. The whole mouth was occupied by this wonderful taste, which made people intoxicated and forget the discomfort when they just drank the Chinese medicine.

Song Shujing's frown, which was so tight that it looked like it could kill a fly, gradually relaxed as the bitter medicine slowly went down his throat. It was like a spring breeze gently blowing over him, and his tense nerves gradually relaxed. Although his face was still a little pale, it was much better than the painful look when he drank the medicine before.

Mo Hanqi sat quietly beside him, looking gently at Song Shujing's frowning brows as he drank the bitter medicine. His heart also tightened along with his frowning brows, as if he could feel the bitterness of the medicine in Song Shujing's mouth.

As time passed, Song Shujing's brows gradually relaxed, and his originally tense face gradually returned to calm.

Seeing this scene, Mo Hanqi's heart, which had been hanging in the air, slowly fell back to its original state, and he couldn't help but relax.

He gently stretched out his hand, wanting to smooth out the remaining fine wrinkles on Song Shujing's forehead, but he was afraid of disturbing the person who had finally relaxed, so his hand paused in the air for a moment, then carefully retracted it.

Song Shujing put the bowl back on the tray held by the servant, and the two servants bowed and left.

Not long after the servant left, Mo Hanqi reached out and lifted Song Shujing to sit on his lap.

The sudden movement scared Song Shujing so much that he cried out in surprise. When he reacted, he was already sitting on Mo Hanqi's legs, with his hand subconsciously against Mo Hanqi's chest.

"Mr. Mo..." The rest of Song Shujing's words were blocked by Mo Hanqi's lips.

Song Shujing was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes, withdrew his hand that was against Mo Hanqi's chest, and turned to embrace Mo Hanqi's neck.

Song Shujing's well-behaved appearance made Mo Hanqi want to eat him up even more. He put force on Song Shujing's waist and pressed Song Shujing towards his chest. At the same time, he stretched out his other hand to hold the back of Song Shujing's head, lifted Song Shujing's head slightly, and kissed him more deeply.

Because he had just drunk the bitter soup and then tasted a few sweet and delicious candied fruits, Mo Hanqi could clearly smell the scent emanating from Song Shujing even though he was very close to him. It was a very special mixed smell, which had a strong bitter taste of Chinese medicine, as if it still had the unique fragrance emitted when the herbs were boiled; at the same time, it was mixed with a hint of candied fruit sweetness, which was like a flower blooming in summer, fresh and tempting. These two completely different flavors intertwined and blended with each other, forming a unique aroma that was difficult to describe but impressive.
