A four-year-old medical prodigy descended to the mortal realm, and the entire capital sought her tre

"Brother, Siqiao made me eat meat again! I don't want to like Siqiao anymore!"

Zhou Ruo looked aggrieved and came to Zhao Jinzhong to complain and seek comfort.

As soon as he entered the room, he climbed onto the stool in front of the table, crossed his arms, and sulked.

"Oh my goodness! She's so cute! Zhao Jinzhong, how did you raise such an adorable little sister?"

From the moment Zhou Ruo entered the room, An Chang's heart was melted by her sweet, soft voice.

Zhou Ruo was surprised to find someone else in Zhao Jinzhong's room, and her eyes suddenly became wary.

"Who are you? I feel like I've seen you somewhere before?" Zhou Ruo felt that An Chang looked familiar, but she couldn't remember when she had seen him before.

Hearing this, Zhao Jinzhong laughed, "Ruoruo, you always remembered things so quickly when you were studying, how come you don't remember him?"

"Because I like reading! You can only remember things if you like them!" Zhou Ru looked at An Chang carefully, but couldn't quite recall what he had said.

"That hurts! That hurts so much!" An Changke was extremely disappointed.

He turned around, took a large, red persimmon from the basket he had brought, smelled it, and then looked at Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo's furrowed brows instantly relaxed, and her eyes immediately brightened like two glass balls.

"Persimmon! I remember now! You're Prince An! The Prince An without persimmons!"

As she spoke, Zhou Ruo jumped off the stool, ran to the baskets, and bent down to look at the two baskets of persimmons.

"Can I eat these persimmons?" Zhou Ruo asked Zhao Jinzhong, looking up at him.

Prince An became even more displeased. "These are the persimmons I brought. Why are you asking him?"

Zhou Ruo withdrew her gaze and looked expectantly at An Chang, asking, "Then, Prince An, may I eat it?"

An Chang finally got a chance to tease her, "Sure, but what do you want to trade with me?"

"Huh?" Zhou Ruo had never imagined that she would have to exchange something for fruit.

"Oranges! There are oranges in the yard, can I pick some and exchange them?"

An Chang said haughtily, "I don't like eating oranges."

Guessing that Zhou Ruo was about to suggest other fruits, An Chang preemptively said, "I don't like apples, pomelos, or pears."

"Huh? Then..." Zhou Ruo was a little troubled.

She glanced at the persimmons in the basket again, really wanting to eat them. This time when she went to the military camp, there were no persimmons among the fruits all over the mountain.

Suddenly, Zhou Ruo said, as if she had made up her mind:

"I'll trade you a lemon. I'll give you one lemon, no more!"

"Lemon?" An Chang thought she had misheard. "You're not going to trade one lemon for two baskets of persimmons, are you?"

"Is that not allowed? Lemons are so delicious and good for your health."

Zhou Ruo believed that lemons could achieve effects that other fruits could not, and could help refine poison gas into pills.

Moreover, lemons are not found everywhere. They are not in the general's mansion; you have to go to the military camp and the wilderness to find them, so they must be very precious.

Seeing An Chang's reluctant expression, she added, "You can't be too greedy, you know. This way, you won't lose out!"

"Pfft—hahahaha! My God, what is this treasure? It's so cute! Hahahaha..."

An Chang clutched his stomach, laughing uncontrollably, while Zhao Jinzhong's face also turned red. Zhou Ruo's thoughts were indeed unconventional.

Zhou Ruo couldn't wait for An Chang's reply, but she was about to lose her temper; these persimmons were just too tempting.

She pulled out the only lemon she was carrying and handed it to An Chang, saying, "Here you go, no take-backs!"

An Chang was stunned for a moment, then burst into uncontrollable laughter.

Zhou Ruo, not understanding why, simply shoved the lemon into his hand, then grabbed a persimmon and started eating it.

These persimmons are so big, crisp, and sweet; they taste much better than meat.

When we go back later, I'll bring two persimmons for Siqiao to try, so she won't force herself to eat meat in the future!

With that thought in mind, Zhou Ru ate all three persimmons, skin and all, in one go.

An Chang was stunned. He stared at Zhao Jinzhong with wide eyes. "Wait, why doesn't she peel the persimmons before eating them? Isn't she afraid of getting a stomachache?"

Zhao Jinzhong was used to it; Zhou Ruo could eat lemons so happily and even absorb poisonous plants and insects into her body.

What are these unpeeled persimmons anyway?

"No need." Zhao Jinzhong sat quietly to the side, occasionally glancing at the military books and occasionally at Zhou Ruo.

After finishing the persimmons, Zhou Ruo, with a small belly, walked past An Chang without even glancing at him, and went straight to Zhao Jinzhong's side.

"Brother, I want to go out and see the world. Will you take me?"

Zhao Jinzhong immediately understood what Zhou Ruo was thinking from her pitiful eyes.

"Isn't it too slow to treat the people in the manor?" Zhao Jinzhong guessed.

He and Zhou Ruo had gone through a round in the military camp, and he knew that it was difficult to increase spiritual power by simply treating the servants in the mansion.

Zhou Ruo nodded happily, feeling glad to have an older brother who understood her.

"I want to go out and find 'talented people'!"

An Chang, listening from the side, was completely confused. "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'too slow'? What do you mean by 'powerful person'?"

Zhao Jinzhong and Zhou Ruo exchanged a smile, ignoring An Chang.

"I'll change my clothes and then leave," Zhao Jinzhong said to Zhou Ruo.

An Chang: "Where...where are we going?"

Zhao Jinzhong: "Let's go for a stroll in the streets."

An Chang: "Okay! Let's do it together!"

Zhao Jinzhong led Zhou Ruo out, along with Wu Jia, Wu Bing, and Qiu Yue.

An Chang was followed by two servants from the Prince's mansion.

This was Zhou Ruo's first time going shopping since coming to the human world.

The streets were filled with a dazzling array of goods and bustling crowds; Zhou Ruo had rarely seen such a lively scene.

He inevitably seemed a bit excited.

Zhao Jinzhong held Zhou Ruo in his arms, and Zhou Ruo sat on his arm.

"Brother, what's that?" Zhou Ruo asked, pointing to a group of people brandishing swords and spears.

Zhao Jinzhong: "A street performer."

Zhou Ruo didn't quite understand, but she still responded with an "Oh".

Zhao Jinzhong led her to stop and watch the acrobatics for a while, but Zhou Ruo wasn't very interested and quickly walked away.

Zhou Ruo saw strings of red things on the vendor's stall and pointed, asking, "Brother, what are those?"

"Want some candied hawthorn?" Zhao Jinzhong thought that children would like it.

Zhou Ruo wasn't sure; she'd never eaten this before.

An Jing immediately said, "I'll go buy it for you!"

The three of them walked over together.

An Chang took a string of candied hawthorns, paid for it, and handed it to Zhou Ruo, saying, "Call me Brother An!"

Zhou Ruo put her arms around Zhao Jinzhong's neck and looked at him. Before she could speak, Zhao Jinzhong took a string of candied hawthorns and handed it to Zhou Ruo.

Zhou Ruo took the candied hawthorn from Zhao Jinzhong and said happily, "Thank you, brother." Then Chong Anchang made a face.

After Zhao Jinzhong paid the bill, the three of them left.

"Fine! You two siblings ganged up on me, didn't you!" An Chang said angrily, taking a big bite of the candied hawthorn.

Just then, a voice came from the side of the crowd: "Brother Jinzhong!"
