"Professor Song."
"Good morning, Professor Song."
The two young men sat across from each other at a window-side table, eating breakfast. Hearing footsteps approach, Gu Pingsheng and Cao Xi stood up at the same time.
His white lab coat hung open, revealing long legs wrapped in trousers and a lean, powerful waist that even his loose shirt could not hide. Song Ren gave them a slight nod and smiled lazily. "How are you feeling today?"
Cao Xi answered honestly, "Eating well, drinking well, sleeping well. It's more comfortable than a vacation."
The corners of Gu Pingsheng's lips lifted as he held back a laugh. "Nothing feels uncomfortable physically. I'm in better shape than ever."

If anything comes up, you can leave whenever you want. It's also fine if you come back to stay here normally. There are plenty of rooms in the Imperial Palace, and your rooms have always been kept for you."
"Thank you, Professor Song. We understand," Cao Xi said.
"Mm. Remember to come back for more medicine when you're nearly out. And don't forget the checkups every three days." Song Ren lifted his chin and smiled. "All right, keep eating. I only came by to tell you that."
"Got it. Goodbye, Professor Song."

"Were you secretly laughing just now? Don't think I didn't see it!" Cao Xi narrowed his eyes.
"I wasn't.
