Standing before the medicine cabinet, Xue Ruanruan gently extended her slender fingers, carefully touching each drawer and label, sensing their unique aromas. Then, she began to meticulously examine the various medicinal herbs inside. She would sometimes lean closer to observe them, sometimes pick up a herb or two and sniff it lightly, sometimes rub it in her palm, as if trying to establish some kind of spiritual connection with these mysterious plants. Throughout this process, Xue Ruanruan was completely focused and meticulous, not overlooking any detail. She had a deep understanding of each herb, knowing its effects, properties, and applicable ailments. Therefore, she was exceptionally cautious in her selection, afraid of missing the most suitable medicine. Her movements were skillful and focused, as if she had forgotten her earlier worries. However, her heart remained restless, her thoughts surging like a tide. What did that carriage mean? Could she unravel the mystery in her heart...? A gentle breeze, like a light butterfly, fluttered its wings, silently brushing against her silky smooth hair. The wind seemed to possess a pair of gentle hands, softly caressing each strand of hair, gently lifting them before slowly letting them fall. However, the slight coolness brought by this breeze failed to attract her attention. She seemed immersed in her own world, completely unaware of any changes in the outside world. Perhaps at this moment, she was entangled in deep thoughts, or perhaps she was captivated by the beautiful scenery before her, completely ignoring the subtle changes in her surroundings. She simply gazed silently into the distance, her thoughts already drifting to unknown realms. That small body seemed to conceal endless worries and secrets. Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps interrupted Xue Ruanruan's thoughts. She looked up and saw a young man with a flustered expression running in.

"Doctor! Please, please save my father!" The man's face was filled with anxiety, large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. He gasped for breath, wiping the sweat from his brow. His breathing was unusually rapid, as if he had just been through a harrowing run, and his only thought was that the doctor before him could perform a miraculous cure to save his father, who was on the verge of death. "Go get the medicine according to this prescription! Remember, it must be taken three times a day, on time and in the correct dosage!" Xue Ruanruan said softly, carefully handing the yellowed prescription to the worried man. Her clear, watery eyes revealed a hint of concern and worry, as if she could see right through him. Then, Xue Ruanruan leaned closer and whispered, "Also, when you get back, be sure to persuade your father to rest more. Don't overwork himself! As for his diet, try to keep it light; that will help his recovery!" After saying this, Xue Ruanruan gently patted the man's shoulder and gave him an encouraging and warm smile. The man took the prescription and thanked her repeatedly. Xue Ruanruan smiled, shook her head, and left with her medicine box. A few days later, the man brought his father to the clinic to express his gratitude. Thanks to Xue Ruanruan's treatment, the old man's health had gradually improved. The man was deeply grateful and insisted on giving Xue Ruanruan some expensive gifts, but she politely declined. Just then, the old man, weathered and wrinkled yet with bright, piercing eyes, slowly entered the room. His steps were unsteady, but each one firm and powerful. When he reached Xue Ruanruan, his calloused hands trembled slightly as he reached out and tightly grasped her soft, slender hand. His eyes were filled with boundless gratitude and respect, as if those hands held the most precious treasure in the world. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something to express the intense emotions deep within his heart, but all his words ultimately amounted to a deep sigh and a simple, sincere "thank you." In that instant, Xue Ruanruan seemed to transcend the boundaries of time and space, stepping into a mysterious and wondrous realm—space itself.
