Beloved, Pepper

Beloved, Pepper

(Rather than a synopsis, this is more like a prologue.) "P... please marry me, your grace!" She shut her eyes after saying those words. Her face gradually reached the brightest shade of red in embarrassment, excitement, and also... fear of being rejected. After a few seconds of silence, and waiting for a definite response, she instead heard a gentle laugh that was on par with the music of the gods being played by angels, filling the entire room. Slowly, Pepper opened her eyes, mesmerized by the sight. She buried the image of the man in front of her, laughing as his fist covered his slightly open lips. The wrinkles around his closed eyelids emphasized the tenderness of his calm face. It was not the kind of laugh mocking Pepper or what she said, rather, it was more like a surprised laugh that escaped his mouth that one couldn't help but say... 'He looks kind and sweet.' Embarrassment struck her once more as the Grand Duke opened his eyes and met hers. She immediately lowered her head, pretending to watch her shoes squabble. She hoped that he didn't see her ogling in front of his face. "U...uhmmm" Pepper could still hear his quiet laughter as she watched his long fingers reach for his teacup on the glass table. She couldn't deny that seeing the silver ring on one of them reflected brilliantly on the glass affected her, but she didn't have the right to talk about it. Pepper had only realized how guilty she felt for the late duchess for committing such an inconceivable thing, but she knew she had to go through with it. She wanted him. 'Please, late duchess, bestow your blessings on us. I swear I'll take care of him, so please, please... I hope he accepts my proposal.' -------- Yes, yes finally! I am graduating from college, hopefully, *fingers crossed*. Finally have some spare time to write. And, please excuse my poor written and bad synopsis, that's my most hated part in writing so I didn’t go all out here. I am fond of reading historical, fantasy romance that’s why I am setting this story bet. 17-18th century because that’s the most appropriate age for my dramatic story (lol), I guess? Anyways, this may not be much like the other well-written novels out there but, if you're here, I hope you enjoy. My inspiration for writing this one was the anime Ristorante Paradiso, I recently re-watched the anime and *Italian chefs kiss* to the level of maturity of that anime! --- This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places and incidents either are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual events or locales or persons, living or dead, is entirely coincidental.

Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close.

Is there a tumor in the anus that needs treatment?
If there was a tumor in the anus, whether or not treatment was needed depended on the situation. If there were no particularly serious symptoms, such as no local blood clot, no obvious pain, and small amount of blood in the stool, conservative treatment and medication could be carried out first. If it was simple variceal external hemorrhoids or desmotic tissue external hemorrhoids, it would only show perianus discomfort. When there was a soft tumor around the anus, one could pay attention to diet, avoid spicy and stimulating food, reduce constipation, reduce hemorrhoid swelling, and at the same time keep the perianus clean. Often use warm salt water or 1:5000 potassium Permanganate solution to reduce swelling and anti-inflammation. However, if there were local neoplasias around the anus that were complicated with blood clot, severe pain, and a large amount of blood in the stool, surgery should be actively carried out, such as embolectomy or hemorrhoidectomy. In addition, if the anus had not changed or was constantly increasing, it was generally a wart. This situation required treatment. The treatment method was usually to remove it with laser or liquid nitrogen freezing. At the same time, it was necessary to check if there was any infection with the virus. It was also necessary to rule out other diseases near the anus, such as hemorrhoids, polyp, or precancer. If it was an anus conoma acuminata, he would need to be admitted to the hospital. After admission, he would undergo preoperative preparation and examination, and then arrange for surgery. After the surgery, he would use medicine to help the wound recover. The wound would recover to a certain extent (usually about a week) before he could be discharged. For a huge conoma (non-cancerous), he would need to start the later stage of anti-viral treatment after being hospitalized for a week. Polyp hemorrhoids were mainly manifested as intermittent blood in the stool, dull pain in the abdomen, lumps in the anus during defecation, changes in stool habits, blood or mucus discharged with feces, and other symptoms usually required surgery. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

What is a flat vegetation on the inner wall of the oral cavity?
The flat vegetation on the inner wall of the oral cavity could be a variety of situations. One possibility is oral lichen planus, which is a chronic skin disease. The cause of the disease is related to mental state.(For example, excessive stress, irritability and anxiety), hormonal imbalance (irregular work and rest, imbalance of hormone secretion in the body), infection, immunity, systematic diseases and other factors. The typical symptoms are the appearance of reticular and branch-like patterns in the oral cavity. The patient will have a burning sensation. When food is stimulated, the pain will disappear quickly. There may also be smooth areas on the back of the tongue, erosion in some areas of the oral cavity and other symptoms. The cauliflower-like vegetation in the oral cavity may be a form of warts acuminata, which is a manifestation of oral infection with cervical warts. The vegetation may gradually enlarge or increase. There was also the possibility of flat warts, which was a benign growth on the surface caused by the papovavirus. In addition, although some of the bulges and tumors in the oral cavity were benign, such as papilomas, proliferations caused by prosthetic stimulation, suppurative granules, etc., there were also a few that were proved to be squamous-cell cancer by pathological histology, so they needed to be vigilant. If the flat vegetation on the inner wall of the oral cavity could fade by itself, special treatment might not be needed, but it was necessary to prevent relapse. If it was still growing, surgical removal might be a better method. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Which is better, specialized in pharmaceutics or accounting?
Specialist pharmaceutics and accounting had their own characteristics. The following were the comparisons from several aspects: ** I. Job prospects ** 1. ** Biomedicine ** - The pharmaceutical industry had great potential in the pharmaceutical industry as a whole and was regarded as the rising sun among the rising sun industries. The number of people engaged in the research and development of the pharmaceutical industry in China was relatively small compared to some western developed countries. The demand for pharmaceutical talents was increasing. However, biopharmaceutical-related positions had relatively high academic requirements. Nearly half of them had bachelor's degrees, and 30.0% had college degrees. In 2023, there were 819 positions in the pharmaceutical industry, which was the same as in 2022. 2. [Accountant] - The number of jobs in the accounting profession was very large. In 2023, the number of jobs recruited reached 279.9K, an increase of 32% compared to 2022. Accountant was in demand in all industries. The proportion of college degree was relatively high at 40.6%. The employment range was relatively wide. After graduation, one could be an accountant, cashier, or work in an accounting firm. ** 2. Wages ** 1. ** Biomedicine ** - In 2024, the average salary of the pharmaceutical industry was 11.5K/month. Although it was 9% lower than that in 2023, the overall salary level was relatively high. 2. [Accountant] - In 2024, the average salary of an accountant was 6.3K per month, an increase of 5% compared to 2023. The overall salary level was lower than that of a pharmacist. ** 3. Difficulty of Profession Development ** 1. ** Biomedicine ** - Pharmaceutics was a knowledge and technology intensive profession that involved modern biotechnology and other complex knowledge. If one wanted to develop in this field, they often needed a higher academic qualification, such as a postgraduate degree, and they might need scientific research results such as SCI papers. The barrier to professional skills was relatively high. One needed to master courses such as anatomy and biology, media engineering, and fermentation engineering. 2. [Accountant] - The accounting profession also required continuous study and research, such as junior accounting titles and CPAs, but its main knowledge system was relatively stable, mainly accounting regulations, tax laws, accounting processing, etc. On the basis of traditional accounting, some learning content such as big data-related software (such as the advanced application of excel in finance, etc.) was gradually added. To sum up, if the number of jobs and the relatively easy career path were more important, the accounting major might be better; if they were looking forward to high salaries in the future and were willing to improve their knowledge and academic qualifications, the pharmaceutics major might be more suitable. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
