The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Medicine Box

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

This box was not big and looked very battered and old, as if it had been repeatedly thrashed about roughly. Its surface was uneven and the paint had fallen off; those who did not know better would think that it had been picked up from some trash heap.

However, this small battered box gave Gu Jiao an infinitely deep sense of déjà vu.

Gu Jiao opened the box in a daze. When she saw the medicine inside, her mind buzzed.

Seriously?

It’s my medicine box!

Why is it here?!

“I’m not dreaming, am I?”

Gu Jiao pinched herself.?It hurts! It isn’t a dream!

The box was also real, and the medicine inside was all genuine!

Gu Jiao remembered that the little medicine box was also beside her when the plane crashed.?Was it because of that, that it came here?

But… how did it become so battered? Where’s that blindingly bright paint?

In the past, even when the medicine box was still shiny, Gu Jiao had already found it ugly. Now that it was all battered, Gu Jiao felt that it was even uglier.

However, she could not help but feel a sense of familiarity in her heart. Gu Jiao hugged the box tightly in her arms. “I won’t think of you as ugly anymore. Big Sis will treat you well in the future!”

Gu Jiao wiped the small medicine box. Fortunately, it was only broken on the outside, and nothing inside was damaged.

Gu Jiao took a few pieces of gauze and a bottle of saline from the small medicine box and disinfected the wound. She then picked out an antibacterial ointment and applied it on herself. Afterwards, she took two anti-inflammatory pills. She thought that she also had to bandage the wound, but later, she realized that there was no need.

After dealing with her injury, Gu Jiao felt a little hungry. She placed the medicine box in the cabinet and planned to go to the kitchen to find something to eat. However, before that, she needed to change into clean and dry clothes.

Gu Jiao hesitated for a moment before passing through the central room and knocking on Xiao Liulang’s door.

“What is it?”

Xiao Liulang’s cold voice came from the room.

Gu Jiao said, “I want to borrow some clothes. I haven’t washed my clothes in the cabinet, so I don’t have any spares to change into.”

Xiao Liulang did not respond for a long time. Just as Gu Jiao thought that he would not lend her his clothes, the door opened and Xiao Liulang handed her a dry garment.

The material of the long garment was rather poor, and its color was a little faded, but it was washed very meticulously.

In her previous life, Gu Jiao would never wear a man’s clothes, but the situation left her with little choice. After all, she would rather not wear the moldy ones in the cabinet!

After changing her clothes, Gu Jiao washed her dirty clothes before heading to the kitchen.

The kitchen’s quite clean. Xiao Liulang must have cleaned it up.

The rice jar was empty, but as Xiao Liulang had mentioned, there was still half a jar of cornmeal. Not only that, Gu Jiao also found two eggs and a handful of spring onions in the cupboard.

Gu Jiao took out the eggs and made two egg cornmeal pancakes. She sprinkled some chopped onions on them, then made half a pot of cornmeal soup with the leftover batter.

Gu Jiao brought the prepared food to the central room.

The door to Xiao Liulang’s room was ajar.

In her memories, the two of them always ate their own food. When Xiao Liulang cooked, he would always leave a portion in the pot for the Host, but the Host would go to the Gu family to eat most of the time.

Gu Jiao hesitated, but eventually knocked on Xiao Liulang’s door.

“What is it?”

Gu Jiao rarely cooked, and even if she did, she would not make his portion. Therefore, he had planned to wait for Gu Jiao to finish first before making his own. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
