"I know." Si Fuqing exhaled, stepping forward. "I didn't get a chance to tell him. Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just lost a few strands of hair." Yu Tang, always optimistic, sounded sad as she mentioned her hair. "I'm going to be a bald beauty before even going to university."
She recalled the time she was approached by professors from Xia University and noticed many bald heads, making her worry for her future.
Si Fuqing untied Yu Tang, her tone lightening. "What's the big deal? Hair grows back. I'll take a look at it for you later."
She helped Yu Tang to her feet and inspected her from head to toe before completely relaxing.
"Hey, Qingqing, I'm fine." Yu Tang stuttered. "But that sachet you gave me, it... it..."
Si Fuqing glanced at the fine ash on the floor and patted Yu Tang's shoulder. "It's alright. It served its purpose and has met its natural end. I'll give you another one later."
