Jite saw the little Mixed Breed wasn't moving and relented. "You can have a piece of candy first. There's more after you take your medicine."
Gu Ning was silent for a moment before taking a piece of candy from his palm.
She wasn't a child who needed to be coaxed to take her medicine. It was just that this stuff was genuinely a hundred times worse than the vilest herbal tonic; even traditional medicine wasn't this difficult to get down.
'And why is it a powder and not a pill?'
'I could swallow a pill in one go, but with the powder dissolved in water, I taste every single drop.'
Gu Ning unwrapped the candy, turned, pulled down her face mask, and quickly stuffed the sweet into her mouth, chewing it to bits. She then took the medicine from his hand, turned her back to him, held her breath, and downed it in one gulp.
However, the candy did nothing. The moment the medicine entered her mouth, the bitterness was so intense it felt like the top of her head would fly off.
