She blinked, "A doctor can both save lives and take them. If I didn't have this understanding, I wouldn't have come here with you, nor would I have brought my bottles and jars."
Inside those bottles and jars were all poisonous gu, capable of sealing one's throat upon contact with blood and invisibly taking lives. Although everything was quite a shock to her yesterday, deep down she had already prepared for various possibilities. She just needed some time to adjust her mindset.
She had her bottom line, and she was clear about what it was. That was enough for her.
He smiled happily, "Don't worry, if I can't snatch it away, I'm just teasing you. I can't live without you in this life. When we grow old together, if we have to die, let's die together."
Her cheeks reddened, "You always..." She turned her head away and decided not to tease him back, after all, she found this cheesy love talk quite delightful.
Well, just let it be!
