Today business at Cranesong Pharmacy is really good, with many people buying mugwort. There are also many people suffering from spring colds, resulting in a significant increase in sales of cold medicine.

When Xu Hang was pounding the meat and cardamom at the counter, Gu Fangfei entered with that person wearing a green garment. As soon as the person in green entered, they knelt down and kowtowed. Xu Hang helped the person up and instructed the attendant to take them downstairs to prepare medicine.

When there was no one around, Gu Fangfei spoke up: "Mr. Xu, are you available? I would like to have a conversation with you."

Pour out the powdered nutmeg, wrap it in oil paper, divide it into several small packages, pack them one by one, thread them with a thin string, and say, "I am just about to go to the Eastern Street temple to deliver medicine. If you don't mind, let's talk on the way."

He left the pharmacy and headed east.

Gu Fangfei carefully sized up Xu Hang. He indeed had delicate features and an extraordinary bearing. However, she couldn't help but feel that he and Duanye Lin were not of the same ilk. She didn't dare to ask further, so she had to smoothly find a pretext, saying, "Mr. Xu's chivalrous assistance yesterday truly touched me. I never expected there to be someone as broad-minded as you in Hezhou City."

"You're too kind, but I simply recite the Buddha's teachings. The Buddha said that all beings are equal, which is different from Miss's pursuit of women's rights. I can only do so much, far less than you."

Gu Fangfei chuckled lightly and said, "Sir, you are really too modest. If it were any other physician, they would definitely not be willing to save an actor."

"That Qingyi had a great voice. Although her singing style was a bit weak, it was still a pity that she met her untimely demise."

"Is the gentleman knowledgeable about theater?"

"It's just a small hobby, but unfortunately, the Baihua Troupe is far from being as good as the former Lihua Troupe. Nowadays, we can no longer hear performances by famous actors."

When it comes to drama, the usually reserved Xu Hang surprisingly had a lot more to say.

"I may not understand theater, but if there is a good troupe next time, I will definitely invite you, sir, to come and listen together." As Gu Fangfei listened, she started to smile gently, "I don't know why, but I always feel like I've met you before. Maybe it's fate, so after meeting briefly yesterday, I wanted to come and pay a visit today."

At this moment, they had already reached the main street. Xu Hang paused and looked directly at Gu Fangfei. She was wearing a peach-colored dress and her hair was curled, reminiscent of the vibrant foreign woman depicted on a cigarette box. Her face wore a gentle and elegant smile.

"Miss Gu, do you need anything from me?"

"Huh?" Gu Fangfei's almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, then she covered her mouth, looking a little embarrassed. "Did I make it that obvious?"

Xu Hang said gently, "You can speak freely if there's something on your mind."

Gu Fangfei bit her lip and said, "To be honest, it's a little shameless of me. I originally had a favor to ask of Commander Duan, but we don't have much of a relationship. That's why I thought of finding some backdoor connections... Well... Mr. Xu seems to have a good rapport with Commander Duan, so... so..."

The more she spoke, the more she felt that she was asking for the impossible. Gu Fangfei summoned up her courage and said, "If Mr. Xu is willing to help me, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, I would be extremely grateful! If you have any conditions, please don't hesitate to mention them... um, I know that Mr. Xu is not someone who values money and riches. If there is anything I can do to help in the future, I will definitely not refuse!"

After speaking, there was silence. In fact, these words were very offensive. Gu Fangfei had already noticed since yesterday that the relationship between Duan Yelin and Xu Hang was not a mutual and willing one. Today, when she came seeking help, it was equivalent to exposing her knowledge of this matter in front of Xu Hang. If Xu Hang was upset about it, then she would have offended two people at once.

Still a little nervous in her heart, but the reason why Gu Fangfei was so bold was because based on her first impression, she felt that Xu Hang would not reject her.

Sure, here's the translation: "Sure enough, Xu Hang asked, 'Tell me, what is it?'"

"Are you willing to help me, sir?" Gu Fangfei asked, feeling pleasantly surprised.

Xu Hang said, "I'll just mention it, whether he listens or not isn't up to me."

Gu Fangfei firmly grabbed Xu Hang's hand and smiled contentedly, saying, "Thank you!"

Then, he explained the cause and effect like pouring beans from a bamboo tube. Even though not a single word had been exchanged, judging from the look on Xu Hang's face as he listened attentively, it seemed as if the matter had already been successfully resolved.

When saying goodbye, Gu Fangfei took a few steps away, then turned back and said, "By the way, sir, when I said I feel a connection with you, it was not just polite words, but heartfelt."

Xu Hang nodded and Gu Fangfei beckoned a yellow tuk-tuk, which drove away.

When no shadow could be seen at the end of the street, Xu Hang murmured to himself, saying, "I should be the one thanking you."

Then she turned around and walked back towards the medicine hall. At the street corner, she threw the bag of nutmeg powder into a pile of rotting vegetable leaves.

Nutmeg is a good tonic for nourishing the liver and kidneys, but even a slightly higher dosage can cause physical numbness and mental confusion.

People's hearts are the same.
