Chapter 13: Twenty Centimeters Gap

Sophia almost lost contact with her classmates at Beijing City Affiliated High School, and her life center shifted completely to Suzhou City. Here, she followed her grandfather's footsteps during the day to learn Chinese medicine knowledge, and buried herself in medical books at night, working hard.

Every day, she would identify various medicinal herbs such as ginseng, salvia miltiorrhiza, and codonopsis pilosula, or learn to make pills. Occasionally, she would follow her grandfather's team to the fresh air of the medicinal garden to pick herbs herself. Such days were both fulfilling and fun, as if she had forgotten all the pain and gloom in her past and present lives.

She seemed to have returned to her carefree childhood, remembering the time when she ran and jumped in the mountains and fields, shouting that she wanted to become a doctor like her grandfather when she grew up.
