Fu Ya said nothing, but her eyes were utterly bereft of warmth. For a mont, when Fu Cheng made eye contact with her, it felt as though the room had turned into a cold ice cellar.
Fu Cheng was startled by this notion. However, the cold sensation quickly passed.
Fu Ya Had already lowered her eyes. She removed her earphones and tossed them onto the coffee table as well. “Tell . What do you want to say?”
Her cousin typically never spoke to her. When he did, it was either mockery or because he needed sothing from her. All these years, she had co to know him very well.
Fu Cheng was accustod to his cousin’s acrimonious tone. He suppressed his anger and said deeply, “Are you going to take the apothecary test this year?”
Fu Ya squeezed her hands slightly. A disdainful smile appeared on her face before disappearing swiftly. She had an inkling why Fu Cheng was here. “Nope. I’m not going to take it.”
She answered in a decisive tone.
“Why not?” asked Fu Cheng with a frown.
Fu Ya scratched her ear. She kicked her wool slippers very far away. Then, she sat on the couch with her legs crossed and no regard for her image. “Is it any of your business?”
“Let’s not forget you are a Fu. Don’t forget who helped you get into the Apothecaries’ Association. All these years, you have lived off my di. I have been paying for everything including school and all other expenses,” said Fu Cheng mildly.
“Oh. Then, have you forgotten who helped you to beco an advanced apothecary?” said Fu Ya as she laughed.
Each ti, she kept hearing the sa excuses, so she was genuinely sick of listening to him.
Fu Cheng looked at Fu Ya. After so ti, he finally said, “I don’t care if you don’t take the exam, but I need an S grade prescription.”
Fu Ya pursed her lips. She just knew that he wanted sothing from her. She looked at Fu Cheng and said mockingly, “Aren’t you an advanced apothecary? Why are you asking a nobody like for a prescription? Are you trying to be funny?”

“You know best whether you have access to them.” Fu Cheng did not want to waste ti talking to Fu Ya. He glanced at his mother as she walked over and his face reverted to normal. “If you want to continue being an ingrate, there is nothing I can do about it.”
Mrs. Fu had co over with a genial look on her face. She picked up Fu Ya’s slippers and placed them in front of her. Then, she asked quizzically. “Ya, Cheng, what are you talking about? Why do you both look so serious?”
Fu Cheng glanced at Fu Ya and simply said, “Nothing, Just talking about the association.”
Fu Ya squeezed her hands slightly on her knees. She composed herself and acted normal. Even though her cousin was a prick, his mother was genuinely very kind. The mont his mother showed up, Fu Ya simply greeted her without speaking further.
Fu Cheng smiled in disdain when he saw Fu Ya acting obedient. He stood up and said, “Mom, you two ahead. I have sothing to do.”
Mrs. Fu knew her son was very busy, so she simply looked at him and said, “Okay.”
Fu Cheng halted after taking a couple of steps. He turned to say to Fu Ya softly. “I am waiting for your good news. Don’t disappoint us.”
Fu Ya raised her head to see Fu Cheng raising his brow at her. He looked at her knowingly before he left.
Mrs. Fu could not help asking quizzically. “What good news is he talking about?”
Fu Ya veered her eyes. She looked at Mrs. Fu and just smiled. She shook her head and responded softly. “Nothing.”
