As she did, she reached out and plucked an herb from the ground.
Xue'er spoke again.
"You've been looking for herbs this whole time. Are you a Pharmacist, big sister?"
"Mhm."
Xue'er's smile widened as she spoke.
"Wow, you're so amazing, big sister. I'm not nearly as capable as you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she realized Su Ye had gone silent.
After a moment, Xue'er began toying with a lock of her hair.
"Big sister, is it because you think I'm prettier than you? Are you so jealous that you won't even talk to me?"
Su Ye's movements hitched for a second.
The troublemaking girl in green let her smile grow wider.
Su Ye remained crouched, carefully examining the herb in front of her.
The seedling was only about as long as a finger, yet it bore over ten small red fruits, each smaller than a fingernail.
At first glance, the densely clustered fruits were unsettling to look at.
But Su Ye stared at it for a long time.
