In the hospital parking lot, Mei Banxia got a free show: a dramatic breakup. The woman was weeping pitifully, while the man remained unmoved and utterly cold. Just as Mei was enjoying the scene, a piercing gaze suddenly met hers through the windshield.
Mei Banxia climbed out of her car with a straight face and walked past them, completely at ease.
"Stop!" the man called out in a lazy voice.
She turned around, hands in her coat pockets, and looked at him calmly.
Tan Yu's gaze lingered on her cool, beautiful face for two seconds. He smiled and asked casually, "You watched the whole thing and now you're leaving? Don't you have any thoughts to share?"
Mei Banxia glanced coolly at the bright lipstick mark on his cheek, then looked at the girl beside him and asked, genuinely perplexed, "Miss, how did you bring yourself to kiss a man like that?"
Ignoring his darkening expression, she turned gracefully and walked away.
Tan Yu hurt his stomach from drinking at work dinners. A friend recommended a traditional Chinese medicine expert, who turned out to be the cool beauty he'd met in the parking lot.
In her pristine white coat, she was beautiful beyond compare, though she rarely smiled. Her slender, pale fingers rested on his pulse, and at that moment, Tan Yu felt something stirring inside him.
The name on her badge was quite interesting.
"Banxia. Pungent in flavor and warm in nature. It suits your temperament, Doctor Mei."
Mei Banxia remained unfazed. After taking his pulse, she met his meaningful gaze and added coolly, "It's also poisonous."
Tan Yu smiled suddenly. After a moment's thought, he said quite seriously, "That's true. Your tongue is pretty poisonous."
As for whether she herself was poisonous, he couldn't say.
Later, when he got a taste, he realized she was addictive, impossible to resist, and had no antidote.
