HPDBC Chapter 32 Set-up
Chapter 32 Set-up
Ten minutes later, Zhouzhou reluctantly got into the car, casting frequent glances at Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, her big round eyes filled with anticipation, waiting for them to call her back.
Seeing her like this, Grandma Qin couldn't help but almost burst into laughter and waved at her.
Zhouzhou's eyes instantly lit up, and she ran over with quick steps.
Grandma Qin bent down to tidy her collar and smiled, "Zhouzhou, go quickly and come back early."
Zhouzhou: "..."
Grandma Qin had picked up a bad habit.
"Go, Grandma is waiting for you to recover so that we can go out and play together."
Hearing this, Zhouzhou's ears twitched, and in the end, unable to resist the temptation that would completely heal her, she walked towards the car.
As soon as she got in the car, she immediately sat close to the door, far away from Qin Ren.
Qin Ren glanced at her but didn't say anything. He signaled the driver in front to lock the door so that the little girl wouldn't accidentally fall out.
During the journey, Zhouzhou secretly glanced at Qin Ren several times. Seeing that he kept his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, she finally relaxed.
Feeling her finally relax, Qin Ren found it amusing and deliberately opened his eyes. Sure enough, the little girl immediately became vigilant again, her eyes wide open like a startled little rabbit.
Funny.
Seeing the little girl almost on the verge of tears, he withdrew his amusement of teasing children.
Seeing her response, Zhouzhou quietly squeezed towards the door, almost sticking her whole body to it. Pouting her mouth, she sniffed and felt a bit scared that her Eldest Brother, the scientist, would turn her into a guinea pig.
At that moment, the driver made a turn, catching Zhouzhou off guard. Her body suddenly leaned towards the inside, but before she could reach out to support herself, a large hand had already reached out and grabbed her shoulder.
She was stunned for a moment, looking up to see the fleeting nervousness in her scientist Eldest Brother's eyes.
"Sit properly," Qin Ren let go of her shoulder and said gently.
"Oh," Zhouzhou obediently sat up straight, her hands resting on her knees. She secretly glanced at Qin Ren again, seeing that he had closed his eyes again, and she continued to sneak a glance openly.
Her scientist Eldest Brother seemed to be quite good.
It would be even better if he didn't turn her into a little guinea pig.
She pouted, retracted her gaze, and turned her head to look out the window, not noticing that Qin Ren had also glanced at her.
Before long, they arrived at the largest Chinese medicine store in Jing City.
Upon entering, a strong medicinal scent filled the air. They saw Chinese medicine cabinets all around, with medicine names posted on them.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ren looked at Zhouzhou inquiringly.
Zhouzhou asked, "Are there no older ones?"
"No, five hundred years is the longest."
"Okay." Zhouzhou felt a bit disappointed. If she had known earlier, she would have asked her master for a ginseng when she left the mountain. There was a super large eight-hundred-year-old ginseng hidden in his room, nearly nine hundred years old. However, her master treated it like a treasure and never allowed anyone to see it.
"Apologize to my sister." Qin Ren said calmly, his cold gaze making the store clerk unable to stand straight.
The store clerk quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I misspoke."
He gave him a cold glance, and Qin Ren withdrew his gaze, lightly tapping the counter. "If this mouth still can't learn how to speak, then sew it shut."
He said the most terrifying words in the calmest tone, frightening the store clerk, who covered his mouth in horror and repeatedly shook his head.
Seeing that he had become obedient, Qin Ren led Zhouzhou out of the store.
Just as they reached the entrance, the glass on the counter cracked with a "crack" sound, followed by the sound of it falling to the ground, causing the store clerk to exclaim in shock as he watched the scene.
Zhouzhou turned her head and looked at it, then looked up at Qin Ren, feeling a sense of admiration. So powerful.
With just a light touch, he broke the glass. This strength must belong to a master.
She really wanted to spar with her Eldest Brother!
Just as she was thinking, she suddenly saw him putting on his glasses. In an instant, a scholarly aura enveloped him, startling Zhouzhou. She quickly shook off his hand, holding her head and scurrying several meters away.
Help! The scientist Eldest Brother is back!
Seeing her reaction, Qin Ren raised an eyebrow, a hint of amusement flickering in his eyes. Suddenly, he saw another person appear in front of her. He was about to remind her when he saw Zhouzhou bump into the person.
Zhouzhou was stunned for a moment, realizing that she had bumped into someone and was about to apologize.
But the old man in front of her exclaimed, "Ouch!" and fell to the ground in a swift and decisive manner. He moved quickly and his actions were decisive. He wore a red Tang suit, his complexion rosy, showing no signs of weakness, but he kept groaning in pain, his voice full of vigor.
Qin Ren was about to call for help when the old man glared at him. Seeing his determined look of refusing to get up from the ground, Qin Ren swallowed his words, pinched his brow, and looked somewhat indescribable. He moved his gaze away with a hint of disdain.
As the director of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Department in a central hospital in Jing City, the renowned national doctor Liu Hanqiu, it was quite disgraceful for him to play the victim in front of a child.
But Liu Hanqiu ignored his opinion and was solely focused on the herbal pill he had shown him that day. His eyes kept rolling on Zhouzhou, and when he saw the porcelain bottle in her hand, his eyes lit up.
Found it!
He couldn't take his eyes off it, clutching his heart and exclaiming loudly, "Oh, little girl, you've injured this old man's fragile bones!"
Zhouzhou looked at this scene dumbfounded, completely stupefied.
