"This old servant did not see your hubby, so I'll have to ask your mother to pass on a message to him." Seeing how concerned Xia Li was for her, and thinking back to when Lee's mentioned that Sun Chun was her son-in-law, the manager was shocked. He felt that the relationship between the and the rest was a little mysterious.
A disappointed expression surfaced on Xia Li's face. He stood there blankly for a good while, and then thanked the manager.
"Thank you, Brother Yang and Manager. You guys have worked so hard for my sake."
In any case, this year, you have already promised me that you will sell each pain-relieving drug for no more than a hundred silver. This is already the biggest favor I can get from you.
As Yang Xuechen said that, he blinked his eyes at Xia Li, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, washing away the serious expression on his face that Xia Li had gotten back up with great difficulty, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Right, I've promised you that it won't exceed one hundred silver. If you have anything, you should definitely think of all of you first, alright?" Xia Li helplessly touched his forehead.
The business people value the profits, and they place more emphasis on equal exchange of benefits. Since you are good to me, I will naturally not be stingy to Miss Xia Li.
Yang Xuechen's smile was exceptionally brilliant, and her eyes flashed with a bit of calculation, making Xia Li unable to laugh, nor could she loathe him, instead she did not get involved with personal feelings, and only paid attention to the exchange of benefits. This was probably the best partner she was looking for, with power, financial resources, and even less fear of the Rich Man Yang's torture, she had a feeling that she had picked up a treasure.
"I want to go back today. When I have the medicine in the future, I will definitely send it over to you as soon as I can." Xia Li thought about it, and decided to return first. She was anxious to return and see Sun Chun, and she especially wanted to see him.
"You haven't recovered yet. Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Yang Xuechen walked to Xia Li's side and asked puzzledly.
"I know about medicine too. I know how to take care of myself. Maybe it will be better if I go back and see my family earlier?" Xia Li smiled at Yang Xuechen, and said apologetically.
"But today, I might need someone to bother you to send me back. I don't even know who saved me this time. Is it really not you?" Xia Li stared at Yang Xuechen and asked.
"If it really was me who saved him, then I think I can ask you for dozens of painkillers for free. Naturally, I won't let this chance go, but I really didn't save him. You need to find your savior." Yang Xuechen encouraged Xia Li.
"Still, thank you." Xia Li nodded his head to express his thanks to Sun Chun.
"We've been friends for a few days now, right? No need to thank me like this. It's really tiring." Yang Xuechen said, then called over the manager who was standing not far away.
"Prepare some of the snacks and fruits that Miss Xia Li likes to eat these past few days, select a few of the best quality silk cloth, and send them to the carriage as well, to personally escort Xia Li to the Tianshui Village."
"This subordinate will handle it." The manager agreed and quickly led the people to arrange it.
Xia Li still wanted to say something, but he was stopped by Yang Xuechen who walked in front of him.
"We're going to be business buddies from now on, so you should take care of the things I give you. Otherwise, you're being too formal with us."
Seeing him so enthusiastic, Xia Li did not reject him anymore and nodded his head. Then, after bidding him farewell, he got into the carriage and left the escort office.
Yang Xuechen did not go out to send Xia Li off. She was just standing there alone, staring at the lake surface, deep in thought.
When the sun rose into the sky, Xia Li once again returned to the courtyard. The escort manager brought all the snacks and fruits on the horse carriage along with some fine silk and satin clothing and sent them into Xia Li's room.
Hearing that there was movement in the courtyard, Lee's walked out. When she saw Xia Li, her tears flowed out as she ran over and hugged Xia Li, crying out loud.
Xia Li's body had not fully recovered yet, how could he endure such a collision. He was hugged by the Lee's and thrown backwards, while the escort manager frowned and went forward to support Xia Li.
"What happened to you?" Lee's noticed Xia Li's discomfort and asked worriedly.
"Mom, I'm fine. It's just that I'm a bit tired these few days and want to go back to my room to rest." Xia Li heart was hiding his illness, and he shook his head at the steward.
The supervisor was also helpless as he endured the urge to tell Lee's the truth. Closing his mouth, he no longer said anything else and helped Xia Li back to his bed. Then, he bid farewell to Xia Li and left the Tianshui Village with his people.
"Mom, I'm really hungry right now. I really want to sleep. Can you help me cook something nice to eat?" These are all good things they send you and some silk. You can take them all. " Xia Li said as he pointed to the things he had just brought back.
"Stop lying to me. Your body isn't feeling well, but I can tell. I'll go find a doctor for you." The Lee's said as he prepared to leave.
"Mom, I'm really fine. I'm a doctor myself, so I know my body's condition very well. Please cook something for me first." Xia Li said as he got out of bed to stop the Lee's.
"Alright, mom will make you something nice to eat. Have a good rest and don't move about too much." Lee's was worried about Xia Li's health, so he compromised and went to the kitchen to make food for Xia Li.
Xia Qing stood outside Xia Li's door, looking at her sister's pale white face, even though she wanted to eat the pastries that were piled on Xia Li's table, she still tactfully left, running to the kitchen and helping Lee's do work.
While Xia Li was in a daze, he suddenly remembered that a month had already passed. The pain in his body must have also passed, and his abdomen must be hurting again.
Resisting her discomfort, she walked to the door, bolted it, took out the necklace around her neck, unlocked her fingerprints, entered the space, took out two painkillers she had saved temporarily, and ate one for herself. She put one on her body, left the space, and returned to her room.
The instant Xia Li took the painkiller, other than walking still feeling like he was stepping on cotton, all the other discomforts in his body instantly disappeared. The effects were still as good as ever.
She opened the door and knocked on the door to Sun Chun's room. Relying on his own weight, Xia Li forcefully pushed open the door to Sun Chun's room.
's things were scattered all over the floor in a complete mess. He was lying on the bed with both hands covering his stomach and a wooden stick being bitten in his mouth. The room was dimly lit and his expression could not be seen.
Xia Li slowly walked to Sun Chun's bedside and sat down. He took out a pain-relieving medicine from his bosom, and the instant he tried to remove the wooden stick from Sun Chun's mouth, he grabbed onto his wrist. At the same time, he opened his eyes and looked at Xia Li who was in front of him with a cold and stern gaze.
"Eat this painkiller and you'll feel better." Xia Li was not scared by his gaze. She opened her left palm and revealed a bright red pill.
"Not eating." Sun Chun spat out the wooden stick in his mouth and replied coldly.
"Don't eat it, the pain in your abdomen will torture you again and again. This painkiller not only has the effect of suppressing the pain brought by all kinds of diseases, it also has the function of strengthening your body. If you want to get out of bed, eat it!"
After Xia Li finished speaking, he caught Sun Chun by surprise, opened his mouth, and stuffed the medicine into his mouth. He then used his palm to cover his mouth, forcing Sun Chun to swallow the medicine.
While Sun Chun was sick, his body was weak, and he was still lying on the bed, his resistance was even weaker. Xia Li had already recuperated for a few days, so naturally he could control Sun Chun.
"Don't think about anything, don't be angry, just wait until you can get out of bed and walk around before coming back to find me to vent. Right now, your main task is to get some rest."
Xia Li gently caressed Sun Chun's cheeks and advised him. But before she could finish, Sun Chun used all his strength and pulled her over to his chest, kissing her.
Xia Li was shocked. She was usually the one who took the initiative, what was wrong with this guy? She hadn't seen him for a few days. Did he really miss her?
It was unknown how much time had passed before Sun Chun finally let go of her. At this time, Sun Chun's face was completely red.
"Are you still in pain?" Xia Li had countless questions in his mind that he wanted to ask him, but in the end, just that one sentence left his mouth.
"Take your medicine, it won't hurt anymore." Sun Chun replied with a hoarse voice.
"Why did you refuse to take any medicine just now?" Xia Li was still a little angry, and grabbed his hand as he asked.
Sun Chun gently pushed Xia Li's hands away, and then laid on the bed, closed his eyes and rested for a while, and then replied slowly.
"It hurts, it's able to make people regain their sanity."
"Have you not felt mother's discomfort in the past few days? Why is your room so messy?" Xia Li said, supporting the bed, he sat on the floor and began to collect the clothes on the floor.
"I didn't let her in. I'll just endure it for a while." Sun Chun looked at Xia Li: "For the last two days, you haven't come back. I went to town to look for you, but I didn't see you."
Xia Li folded the clothes and placed them in the cupboard. Hearing Sun Chun's words, his heart warmed, thinking back to the hardships he had endured in the past few days, the torture of being locked up in the gambling house, although his heart was sore, he was glad that he managed to escape.
I heard that he even burned down his gambling den and saved me. He sent me to the escort company and I was very curious who it was, wanting to find him.
"How can I repay this kindness with my body?" Sun Chun laid on the bed, his eyes was deep, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a smile.
"How vulgar, for him to be able to do such a thing, he must be a valiant hero. He has long since could not stand the sight of the Rich Man Yang, so the only thing I can do to teach him a lesson is to give him more pain-relieving pills."
Xia Li said in a pragmatic manner.
Sun Chun laid back onto the bed and closed his eyes, not saying a word.
No matter what Xia Li said, his reaction was dismal. After hearing it, he fell asleep.
