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.

The sky had just started to brighten when Xia Li and Sun Chun had already left the hospital. Riding on the carriage, they arrived at the northern suburbs of the Red River Town.

The moment Xia Li and Sun Chun got off the carriage, the guards guarding the fortress secretly passed the news to the people inside the escort company. Not long later, Yang Xuechen, who was dressed in a snow-white gown, personally came over with the manager to welcome the two of them.

"What kind of wind brought you two here?"

Yang Xuechen looked to be in high spirits, as if there was nothing that could make him worry.

"Brother Yang, we have a request today." Xia Li's attitude was sincere and his expression was serious, which made Yang Xuechen a bit uncomfortable.

"Please come inside. Since you're all here, what's the point of standing outside!" Following Yang Xuechen's invitation, Sun Chun pulled Xia Li up and brought her to the escort company's floral hall.

Every blade of grass and every piece of wood in the hall looked exactly the same as before. It was as though time had stopped here, as though nothing had changed.

"What do you want?" Yang Xuechen played with the little thing in his hand, and casually asked.

"I would like to ask big brother Yang Xuechen for a favor. Can you help me gather a batch of medicinal ingredients? Before Xia Li could finish, he was interrupted by Yang Xuechen.

"I've known about this for a long time." Yang Xuechen replied while grinning.

"Oh? "Then what do you think?" Sun Chun took a step forward and protected Xia Li behind him.

"It doesn't matter what I think. The key thing is, what does Little Sister Xia Li do?" Yang Xuechen stretched lazily and lied down on the chair, supporting his head with one hand, the corner of his mouth raised.

"As long as your request is too excessive, I can agree to it." Xia Li thought about it and replied seriously.

"It's very simple. As long as you accompany me for ten days, I can help you transfer a batch of medicinal herbs from the south. Oh, right, I'm the one in control of the medicinal herbs from more than a dozen provinces of the south." Yang Xuechen raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Aren't you afraid that Hu Yong will deal with you? I heard that this person is not easy to mess with. " Xia Li asked worriedly.

"We don't care about the river, we can help whoever I want to. He has nothing to do with it." Yang Xuechen scoffed, and said loudly.

"However, I can only help you this time. In the next three months, I have important matters that I need to attend to and will need to stay in the capital. As for the rest, you just have to wish for good fortune.

Yang Xuechen said, and looked at Sun Chun meaningfully. Sun Chun's heart skipped a beat, he raised his head and stared at Su Yun.

"Alright, I've already explained the conditions. Xia Li, can you do it?"

As Yang Xuechen spoke, he had already stood up from his seat and was preparing to leave. At this moment, Xia Li was extremely anxious and quickly responded, "I promise you!"

"Xia Li!" Sun Chun's face sank, and his voice revealed a faint trace of anger.

"Currently, the only person who can help me solve this problem is him. I know that you are unhappy while I stay with him everyday, but this time, I hope that you can endure for the time being." Xia Li pulled Sun Chun, and coaxed him.

"Keep your distance from him. Do not touch him." Sun Chun endured, but he still suppressed the emotions in his heart.

"Within these ten days, I hope that you can please leave my escort office and not disturb us." Yang Xuechen turned back and said fearlessly.

"Sigh!" "Let go, my hand!" Yang Xuechen let out a startled cry. His arm was held behind his back by Sun Chun, and at the same time Yang Xuechen let out a scream, his body slipped and slipped away from Sun Chun's hands.

"Sun Chun." Xia Li pulled Sun Chun, and shook his head, his eyes had already turned red.

"Alright, I agree." Sun Chun hugged Xia Li and swallowed the unwillingness in his heart.

Looking at the two in his embrace, Yang Xuechen made a sound. He opened up the fan in his hand and shook it slowly, his eyes flashed with a bright light as he retracted the smile on his face.

In less than five days, Yang Xuechen had deployed the elite caravans on the water and land routes, and sent a batch of medicinal ingredients from the south to the north, distributing them to the dozen or so hospital families on Xia Li's hands, solving Xia Li's urgent needs.

Xia Li did not stay idle either. Every day, Yang Xuechen would bring him shopping, swimming in the lake, riding and hunting. Every day, he would play around as he played.

Every time he took the chance to get drunk on Xia Li, to the point of wanting to kiss her, or even to enter her room, he would be kicked out by Xia Li. He would even drugged Yang Xuechen's wine and put him in his place within a few moments, but Yang Xuechen did not take any advantage at all.

How could Sun Chun not know that Yang Xuechen had acted so recklessly? If it wasn't for Xia Li taking care of him in time, Sun Chun would have already rushed up to him and used his sword to stab Yang Xuechen into a sieve.

It was just dawn when Xia Li finished washing his face and rinsing his mouth. He went to the escort company's floral hall and saw a few plain buns, millet porridge and vegetable dishes on the table.

Another maid was putting fresh flowers into a vase on the windowsill. The leaves were still stained with the morning dew and the flowers were beautiful. Under the gentle breeze, the fragrance filled the room.

Just as Xia Li sat down, Yang Xuechen walked in accompanied by the manager. He sat down next to Xia Li and was about to grab Xia Li's hand, but she knocked on his hand with the chopsticks, causing Sun Chun to quickly withdraw his hand. He was smiling shamelessly.

"You're too spicy, why didn't I notice this before?"
