Chinese medicine?

"Yeah, why don't you try eating it?" Asya also noticed Noer's hesitation. Knowing Noer as he did, this guy would absolutely not eat something like this.

He'd end up having to go to the hospital obediently! He still firmly believed that Noer was actually sick.

"This... how about we eat first? I'll wait for the smell to dissipate before I eat it!" Noer noticed Anna and Asya exchanging glances and immediately felt like all his good intentions had been wasted!

I was doing it all to save you! Truly, a good person can't win.

Speaking of which, how did these two conspire together so inexplicably?

"Ah~ Does Brother Noer think the medicine tastes bad and can't swallow it?" Anna chimed in from the side, adding fuel to the fire.

"Huh? Huh! Yes! Although this is a good thing, its taste..."

"What are you doing!"

Before Noer could finish speaking, he was startled by Anna's actions. He saw Anna pull out a bottle from who knows where and pour all the liquid inside.

"What did you just pour in there?"

"This is Auntie Lenoya's seasoning! I secretly took it from her place. Why don't you try how it tastes?"

Anna took out an exquisite little bottle and shook it.

As a professional foodie, how could I not try something good when I see it!

So, when Lenoya Sala left, Anna secretly poured a little out. She had originally planned to use it for their meal later.

However, to help Noer's 'illness' get better quickly, she had to reluctantly share it with him.

"I... huh?"

Just as Noer was about to say something, he suddenly realized that the pungent smell was gone. This seasoning... was quite potent.

"The smell is gone, are you eating it?" Asya asked Noer with a smile.

"This..."

After hearing Asya, Noer felt completely awful. He now seriously suspected that these two were specifically here to mess with him! Otherwise, how could they be so in sync!

"Brother Noer, you're not tricking us, are you? Should we still go to the hospital?" Anna said softly from the side.

I even gave you my favorite seasoning, and you're going to back out?

"How could that be! I, Noer, never lie!"

Noer quickly denied it. His persona couldn't collapse! He still planned to rely on this stuff to get by in the future!

"Then eat it!" Asya said, crossing his arms and leaning against the wall, enjoying the show.

He was now basically sure that Noer wasn't sick. He just didn't know what he was planning to do with this stuff.

However, from his understanding of Noer, this stuff was likely intended for himself!

There was no basis for it, just a pure intuition!

"Yeah, eat it!" Anna mimicked Asya, crossing her arms and leaning to the side.

Seeing the two of them like that, Noer felt a surge of anger. Eat, eat my ass!

This stuff was something he made himself. He knew exactly what was in it. If he ate it, he'd lose half his life.

Then...

It might work too!

I'm sick, and then I'll force Asya to take responsibility. Given Asya's personality, he'd probably feel guilty and stay.

Besides, things have already reached this point. I've done all I could and all I can do. It's enough.

"I'll eat it if you say so!"

With that thought, under their astonished gazes, Noer picked up the plate, closed his eyes, and started drinking. It wouldn't kill him anyway, so it wasn't a big problem!

"Don't!"

"You really..."

Anna and Asya were shocked by Noer's boldness and were about to stop him, but... it was too late.

Actually, the stuff in the plate only looked like a lot. There was only a little over a bowl's worth poured out, and he finished it in a few gulps.

"Ugh~!"

After finishing, Noer felt a wave of nausea. He quickly covered his mouth, trying desperately not to vomit, and said, "Do you believe me now!"

Indeed, saving people is too painful. It's hard to be a good person!

"Why are you guys... what's that terrible smell?"

Just as the three of them were in a tense standoff, Aya, whom they hadn't seen come downstairs, walked up. As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the unusual odor lingering inside.

"The smell of traditional Chinese medicine."

Asya didn't know what Noer was up to, so he could only explain based on their previous conversation.

However, the smell did resemble traditional Chinese medicine. He just didn't know how effective it was or what the consequences of eating it would be. But seeing Noer drink it down in one go, he probably wouldn't die.

"Traditional Chinese medicine?" Sister Aya was speechless for a moment. Traditional Chinese medicine, my foot! You guys can barely identify herbs, and you're boasting about traditional Chinese medicine.

"Yes, Brother Noer made a batch of Traditional Chinese Medicine for himself," Anna stepped forward and said.

"Hm?" Noer was suddenly stunned. He made a batch of Traditional Chinese Medicine? So Anna actually knew what Traditional Chinese Medicine was?

Does that mean... how could someone so young be so heartless!

"What did you say?"

Sister Aya looked at Noer, who had been retching, in disbelief. Had this child hit his head during the car accident?

"What's wrong?"

Just then, Lenoya Sala also walked over.

"It's nothing, just a blockhead who's sick and made his own medicine."

Sister Aya rubbed her forehead and shook her head. This guy really doesn't make things easy for them.

After explaining, Sister Aya asked Noer, "Noer, do you remember what was in it? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Noer's foolish behavior left her speechless.

"Traditional Chinese Medicine?" Lenoya Sala was stunned, having not heard that name in a long time.

"Um... groan~"

Noer heard her, touched his stomach, and carefully sensed it. He swallowed the sour liquid back down his throat and said, "Other than feeling a bit nauseous... there are no other problems."

After saying that, Noer also felt a bit strange. That culinary disaster was something he'd specifically concocted based on an online tutorial, with all sorts of things mixed in.

Logically, there shouldn't be no reaction at all!

"Then you watch yourself. If you feel unwell later, remember to tell me. Asya, you keep an eye on him tonight too." Sister Aya didn't have much else to say upon hearing this, she just instructed Asya to pay attention.

"Got it," Asya replied with a nod.

"Can... can you still eat anything?" Sister Aya looked Noer up and down.

"Maybe you guys can leave some for me?" Noer really had no appetite right now, and he wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but he felt like something was wrong with his body.

His mind was exceptionally clear, and at the same time, he felt like something was circulating within him.

"Alright, then take care of yourself and rest. Asya will bring you something to eat later." Seeing that Noer's complexion was normal, Sister Aya didn't think too much about it.

She then turned and left the room. It wasn't that she didn't care about Noer, but rather that Noer had always been a bit 'lively' since he was young!

He often did things that were unexpected.

So over time, everyone had gotten used to it. After all, so many years had passed, and Noer was neither crippled nor mentally impaired; he was still bouncing around.
