Episode 3 recap: Lin Mengchen stewed tonic medicine for Ye Xiaosheng.

Qizeyu knew that Ye Xiaosheng was already of a mature age but still unmarried, and he suspected that he had some undisclosed illness. Lin Mengchen, believing Qizeyu's suspicion to be true, was very worried. One day, she met an old Chinese medicine practitioner on the street who was loudly promoting a secret ancestral formula for treating undisclosed illnesses. She bought ten doses of the tonic medicine and brought them home to brew for Ye Xiaosheng. Lin Mengchen specially made chicken soup to nourish his body, and Ye Xiaosheng wanted her to drink it together, but Lin Mengchen added the tonic medicine to the soup and didn't drink it herself. That night, Ye Xiaosheng couldn't sleep because he felt too nourished. His body was restless and feverish, and he desperately drank water, but it was of no use. He ended up going into the courtyard to pour cold water on himself.

Hearing the commotion, Lin Mengchen worried about Ye Xiaosheng's condition and came out to have a look. When Ye Xiaosheng saw his beloved Lin Mengchen right in front of him, he couldn't help but kiss her. However, as soon as he heard the word "brother," his rationality instantly returned, and he quickly pulled away and continued to pour cold water. Thinking about that kiss, Lin Mengchen couldn't help but touch her lips. The next morning, she didn't dare to look at Ye Xiaosheng during breakfast. Coincidentally, their chopsticks reached for the same piece of meat, and Lin Mengchen quickly moved to pick another dish. However, Ye Xiaosheng gave her the meat. Lin Mengchen stood up, intending to serve soup for Ye Xiaosheng, but he was perfectly fine and didn't need to take the tonic medicine. She quickly stopped and left the restaurant in embarrassment without having eaten enough.

Worried that Lin Mengchen was hungry, Ye Xiaosheng specially brought her some snacks. As he happened to collide with Lin Mengchen, who was about to leave, she felt even more embarrassed and quickly closed the door.
