C77 (1/2)

Lee's was also stunned, she did not think that it would be related to the pain medicine formula. She thought for a moment, then closed her mouth, deciding not to interfere with her daughter's medicine collection.

”Take this dagger. You can defend yourself at critical moments.” After Sun Chun thought about it, he still gave up on the idea of accompanying Xia Li up the mountain to gather medicinal herbs. He didn't want to go alone, he didn't want her to think that he was close to her because he had many plans. There were many ways to protect her, and he didn't have to always be by her side.

”Thank you for your understanding, Sun Chun.” Xia Li hugged Sun Chun in front of the Lee's.

Sun Chun was stunned, he looked at Lee's behind her, and did not know what to say. Both of his hands remained in the air for a moment, then placed them on Xia Li's back, and gently hugged her.

”You youngsters have been making love for a long time, it's understandable. However, when are you planning on getting married?” Seeing Xia Li and Sun Chun embracing each other, the Lee's saw that the two liked each other and took the initiative to ask.

”Mother, you must ask Sun Chun about this, I do like him, I just don't know what he thinks.” Xia Li said, he stared at Sun Chun and laughed sinisterly.

”Aunt, it's better to think about it later. Xia Li, didn't you want to go to the mountain to gather herbs!”

The expression in Sun Chun's eyes darkened, and a difficult struggle arose in his heart. In the end, he decided not to make any promises to Xia Li at all, as he was worried that he would betray her later on, and thus changed the topic.

”Alright, then I'll be going.” After Xia Li finished speaking, he left the courtyard with large strides.

Xia Li was rather disappointed with Sun Chun. Something had gone wrong with her, she had clearly been taking good care of her during this period of time, and she had felt his warmth and protection. Why did he avoid her when they had reached the most crucial point?

Lee's also looked at Sun Chun in shock, she did not understand what this young man was thinking, he did not like her daughter, and was tired of being together, what difference was there between this and playing hooligan? Of course, she was only thinking about it, her personality was too weak, and she could not say it out loud.

Xia Li's heart was filled with grievances as he ran wildly all the way to Nine Dragon Mountain. When he found a corner where no one was around, he broke through the river bank with tears in his eyes and silently crouched on the ground to feel sad for a while. When his tears ran down his face, he washed them with the water from the lake on the cliff beside him and shouted at the mountain a few times while the cool breeze blew away the water droplets on his face.

When all the echoes in the surroundings were her alone, Xia Li looked at the blue sky 100 yuan, it was a vast expanse of wilderness, and only then did she feel how small and insignificant a person was. There were many problems, and she could not understand them, so she let time handle them, all she could do was to continue to live heartlessly.

She wanted to find her savior to repay her kindness so that Lee's and Xia Qing could live a carefree and carefree life. She hoped that by relying on her own hands, she would be able to make a living for herself and her family.

The reason why she was hurt by the Rich Man Yang this time was because of the disaster caused by the painkiller. She needed to reconsider how she could benefit more people by protecting herself and her family, protect it well, and not let any greedy and treacherous people get hold of it.

Xia Li's heart had problems that he needed to solve urgently, so he did not have time to think about other things. He walked all the way up the mountain, and focused on gathering medicinal herbs.

When she was certain that there was no one around her, she would hide and hide in the dark to check if anyone was following her. Only after doing this a few times did she carefully pick a few baskets of medicinal herbs, which she stored all of them in her spatial space.

In the end, Xia Li picked another basket full of ingredients and brought it back home. However, the courtyard was bustling with noise and excitement.

A carriage stopped at the entrance and a dozen or so green-gowned guards, who were all dressed in white, sat on a low stool under a big tree with the fan in their hands and chatted with Sun Chun for a while while Lee's busily served tea and passed water to them.

The manager who was standing next to Yang Xuechen saw Xia Li and said to him with a lowered head. Yang Xuechen then turned in the direction the manager pointed at and waved his hand at Xia Li.

Xia Li helplessly stroked his forehead. This master here, was urging her to take the painkillers, before she could reply, a guard had already ran over to help Xia Li take a basket of herbs. He followed behind Xia Li and asked respectfully.

”Miss Xia Li, where do you plan to keep this herb?”

”Just leave it in the kitchen.” Xia Li pointed to the direction of the kitchen, the guard immediately walked over and placed the basket on a corner of the kitchen, then returned back to Yang Xuechen's side to report.

”Xia Li, look at you, your body is almost fully recovered!” Yang Xuechen walked over himself, with a smile on his lips, he sized Xia Li up.

Thank you for your concern, Brother Yang. Xia Li grinned, took a step forward, and pulled Yang Xuechen's wrist. They returned to the low stool under the tree, and personally poured him a cup of warm tea from the teapot, which he handed over to him.

Yang Xuechen was curious, why was Xia Li being so friendly with her this time? He sneaked a glance at the silent Sun Chun, thinking, why didn't the couple greet each other when they meet?

Although he felt it to be strange, he still wore the trademark smile on his face. He received the tea from Xia Li and drank it all in one gulp.

”The tea is delicious. I've already drunk three cups.” Yang Xuechen laughed bitterly and said to Xia Li.

Xia Li almost laughed out loud as he covered his mouth. After enduring for a while, he blinked his eyes and asked.

”Brother Yang, I'm afraid that you didn't come this time just to drink a few cups of our tea. Could it be that you're worried about my safety and have come all the way here to see me?”

Xia Li said as he sneaked a glance at Sun Chun. The man in front of him had a normal expression, neither happy nor angry. He was currently drinking his tea with his head lowered, as if nothing else had anything to do with him.

”Of course I'm here to see how Lady Xia Li is recovering.”
