C101 (1/2)

Xia Li sat by the window in a daze, holding onto his chin, he closed his eyes and rested. He only felt that his mind was light.

She turned her head and looked at the person beside her, ”When are you going to marry me? I know it would be dishonorable for a girl to ask such a question, but I'm not like anyone else. If you still can't give me a promise, I think we should just forget about it. ”

Sun Chun's movements paused, a complicated look flashed past his eyes. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if something precious was about to leave him.

”I have already promised you in public that I will marry you into my family and make you my wife this year.” Sun Chun said sincerely.

”I'll wait.” Xia Li leaned into Sun Chun's embrace, and hugged him. Only now did his heart, which was still hanging in the air, calm down.

”Jin Xi'er hasn't left the Jing'an County yet, the mother and daughter have been staying nearby. They are staying at an inn, and after they have spent all their money, they might come back to ask you for more, what are your plans?”

Sun Chun told Xia Li the information he had learned.

”Screw off, relatives that are lazy to eat. I will not meet any of them, and I will not be bullied by them.” Xia Li's eyes did not blink, revealing a hint of anger.

”My mother was kind enough to take in both of them. I didn't expect that she would really raise a tiger and cause trouble for us. Today, she even came to look for trouble with us. She's already disheartened.”

Not long after Xia Li finished speaking, he fell asleep in Sun Chun's embrace.

Sun Chun carried Xia Li back to her room in the backyard, and placed her on the bed so she could have a good rest.

When Sun Chun left the room, Day Rui stood at the side and carefully accompanied him. However, he still couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

”Young Master Sun, I don't know why, but this shopkeeper has a headache. Whenever she encounters a strange problem or worries, her headache will start acting up. The medicine pills are useless and she can only rely on rest to alleviate it.

”Is there really no way to treat it?” Sun Chun didn't believe it. He must cure her headache.

”The cause of this disease is complex, it is a serious illness and can only be investigated by the best doctors in the capital. Unless the owner is willing to take painkillers, no matter what strange illness it is, she won't be able to detect it and she doesn't have to endure the pain. Unfortunately, she still doesn't want to eat it.”

Day Rui said helplessly.

”Then I will not eat it. If you endure the hardships, you can always find the cause. I will bring her to the capital for treatment.” Sun Chun stared at Xia Li's haggard face, his heart filled with anxiety.

When Xia Li woke up, the sky was dark, the air was dry and heavy, making it hard for people to breathe. On her forehead was a wet towel and the window was wide open.

Sun Chun fell asleep beside her. His forehead still had fine beads of perspiration and his back was also wet.

Xia Li felt that her mind was light, as if she was stepping on cotton. She supported herself from the bed, put on her shoes, and walked to the side of the washstand, taking out a clean towel from the copper basin. She poured water on it, then walked to Sun Chun's side and wiped the sweat off of his face, calming him down.

Day Rui stood outside the door and anxiously spun around, his entire face wrinkled like a bun. The account book in his hand was almost crushed into pieces, and he did not know how to explain it to Xia Li.

Xia Li naturally noticed Day Rui's figure outside the door. She walked to the door, opened it, and looked at Day Rui.

”Just tell me directly if anything happens to your hospital!”

”Our hospital urgently needs to buy a large amount of medicinal herbs to replenish our stock, but for some reason, all the medicinal ingredients merchants refuse to sell us their medicines. After many enquiries, this little one found out that Hu Yong's manager, Qing Ning, was in the middle doing something bad and broke our path to buy medicine, his goal was to force you to lower your head and hand over the painkilling medicine formula.”

Day Rui drooped his head, feeling extremely dejected.

”In the next few days, inform all the people in charge of hospital to relax and take a good look at Pu Zi. In a few days, a large amount of herbs will be delivered to our doorstep!” Xia Li's fighting spirit was ignited, so she would not be defeated that easily! After pondering for a long time, a thought slowly formed in Xia Li's mind.

”Alright!” When Day Rui heard that the herbs would be delivered to his doorstep, he immediately resurrected and ran out to deliver the good news to the other people.

”Have you thought of a way to solve the shortage of medicinal herbs?” Sun Chun was a little surprised by Xia Li's decision, but he could faintly guess what she would do next.

”I've thought of it. I must find him. Only he can help me get through this.”

Xia Li looked at Sun Chun, and said resolutely.

”You should have guessed who I was talking about.” Xia Li walked to Sun Chun's side and sat down.

”I've guessed it. However, this person has ill intentions toward you. I do not wish for him to approach you.” Sun Chun's face did not look good.

”But, I finally had everything I had now, and I really don't want to be defeated by Hu Yong.”

Xia Li grabbed Sun Chun's hand, and for a moment, he was somewhat agitated.

”I understand. You can go now.” Sun Chun brought Xia Li into his embrace, ”I said it before, I will respect your every decision.”

”Thank you for your understanding and support. Without you by my side, I would have really collapsed.” Xia Li's heart was filled with warmth, he hugged Sun Chun tightly, feeling his strong heartbeat, his heart felt more at ease.
