Chapter 1346: Bad Habits
"No." Xia Yinian shook her head, "Do you rely on medicine to have taste?"
"Young Master’s matter is... it’s a secret. You’re the first girl Young Master has brought home for a meal, I got carried away and wasn’t thinking clearly."
"Lady, please keep this secret for our Young Master." The maid looked at Xia Yinian and then at Jing Hanye, bowing her head even lower.
"Young Master, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it."
Xia Yinian knew, for someone as powerful as Young Master Jing, if this hidden ailment were known outside, it would surely cause him a lot of trouble.
If he has no sense of taste, those intending to harm him would definitely use this to their advantage.
However, being the first girl Young Master Jing has brought back for a meal, Xia Yinian felt unworthy of this privilege.
Perhaps the maid had made a mistake and had simply come up with an excuse.
"Your Young Master saved me today, and he’s truly my savior. As Xia Yinian, I would never do anything to harm my savior."
Xia Yinian responded to the maid.
"Thank you! Lady Xia, thank you! You really are a kind person." The maid bowed with gratitude.
Jing Hanye waved his hand again, and the maid immediately withdrew.
Xia Yinian’s gaze returned to Jing Hanye, and whether it was due to his unique illness or something else, her feelings towards him suddenly softened.
This perfect man with such noble heritage, yet the simple pleasure of tasting food was taken away by fate.
"You descended the mountain today because you went for treatment there in the past few days?" she asked softly.
"Are you feeling sympathy for me?" Jing Hanye furrowed his brow.
Xia Yinian truly couldn’t deny how formidable this man was.
She had merely felt a pang of pity for just half a second, and he had already noticed.
"Certainly not. Young Master Jing’s noble birth is something everyone envies, let alone..." Xia Yinian refuted.
"But I do not even have the ability to normally taste food." Jing Hanye interrupted softly.
"I truly didn’t mean that, and I’m actually quite interested in your personal habits."
"You shouldn’t forget I’m a participant in the Alchemy Competition, and I have some understanding of medicine too." Xia Yinian raised her eyebrows.
"Personal habits?" Jing Hanye’s eyebrows lightly furrowed.
"Yes, personal habits." Xia Yinian nodded, "I can tell from your vital energy that you’re not sick at all."
"Being unable to taste might be related to some of your bad habits."
"Or perhaps you’ve encountered some special situation before, which subconsciously locked your taste buds, preventing them from functioning, hence you can’t taste."
"Alright, then I’ll trouble you with my personal habits in the future." Jing Hanye slightly raised the corner of his mouth.
He genuinely smiled this time, a smile of pleasure and straightforwardness.
The servant standing behind Xia Yinian truly thought she was mistaken.
Who would have thought a word from this lady could actually make their Young Master smile?
It’s rare to see Young Master smile, especially when speaking about his condition.
"Me!" Xia Yinian pointed her finger at her own face.
"Weren’t your people saying earlier that you found a Divine Doctor? My medical skill hasn’t reached that level yet, I’m worried I don’t have that ability."
"You also said earlier that I’m your savior, so shouldn’t you do something for your savior?" Jing Hanye smiled, picking up the cutlery.
