Chapter 241 Su Xiaoxiao Recovers from Illness

Pei Yuan was relieved to hear Mr. Li say that, and now he was really looking forward to Su Xiaoxiao waking up.

She had been unconscious for a day and a night, and Pei Yuan had stayed by Su Xiaoxiao's side without closing his eyes for the same entire time.
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes late at night the next day. She tried hard to make out the sounds around her and finally saw everything in the room clearly. It was pitch black all around, but she felt very tired. She touched the blanket on her body and found that the blanket could not be moved, as if it was being pressed down by something.

Finally, Su Xiaoxiao saw clearly that there was another person lying next to her.

"Sanlang..."

Su Xiaoxiao called Pei Yuan's name. Pei Yuan, who had been waiting for a day and a night, finally couldn't hold on any longer. He had just dozed off for a while when Su Xiaoxiao's voice woke him up.

"you're awake?"

"Ah."

Pei Yuan felt inexplicably at ease and happy at this moment.

"Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

"No, I feel a little thirsty."

Su Xiaoxiao felt a throbbing and a bit of pain in the back of her head.

But she was really thirsty, so Pei Yuan quickly got up to pour Su Xiaoxiao a glass of water.

Pei Yuan held the water to her lips and helped Su Xiaoxiao up. Then he heard Su Xiaoxiao start drinking it in big gulps.

Su Xiaoxiao drank almost a glass of water, and finally she felt a little better.

"What time is it now? How long have I been asleep?"

Su Xiaoxiao couldn't remember what happened before she fainted, so she quickly asked Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan recounted the whole story of how Su Xiaoxiao was beaten and fell unconscious.

After Pei Yuan recounted the process, Su Xiaoxiao immediately became excited.

"You've lost too much blood and need to rest. It's best to talk less."

Pei Yuan quickly stopped Su Xiaoxiao. Su Xiaoxiao felt a splitting headache. She tried to recall the scene from yesterday, but the more she recalled, the more dizzy she became.

Pei Yuan quickly stopped her.

Then Su Xiaoxiao's stomach rumbled, "I'm hungry."

Su Xiaoxiao stared longingly at Pei Yuan.

Pei Yuan chuckled upon seeing this, "I'll go make you something to eat, you should fill your stomach first."

Indeed, Su Xiaoxiao hadn't eaten for a whole day and night, and she was really hungry.

After Pei Yuan left, Su Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, trying hard to remember who had hit her. She was really suffering from the aftereffects of a concussion and couldn't remember anything at all.

what should I do?

"Can you cook?"

Su Xiaoxiao stared at the ceiling and muttered to herself, but soon, a bowl of fragrant congee appeared in front of her.

When Su Xiaoxiao drank this porridge, she felt a little confused. Was this porridge made by Pei Yuan?
However, it turned out to be true; it tasted a bit burnt and was a little too sticky, but she could tolerate it because Su Xiaoxiao was indeed starving.

"Eat quickly, and then rest."

Why are you trying not to laugh?

Pei Yuan noticed that Su Xiaoxiao was trying hard to suppress her laughter. "Are you making fun of me? Is the porridge not good?"

"Hmm, it's okay, I can finish it."

Sure enough, Su Xiaoxiao slurped down the entire bowl of porridge until only an empty bowl remained.

"I'm finished eating." Su Xiaoxiao handed the bowl to Pei Yuan.

This is the first time Pei Yuan has taken care of Su Xiaoxiao, so she should enjoy it.

"Yes."

Pei Yuan pretended to be very obedient and served Su Xiaoxiao from the side.

"Would you like some more fruit or something?"

When Pei Yuan returned, he found that Su Xiaoxiao had closed her eyes and was not moving.

Pei Yuan looked very nervous. He rushed over and checked to see if Su Xiaoxiao was still breathing.

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly opened her eyes and slapped away Pei Yuan's outstretched hand.

"What are you doing? Do you want to see if I'm dead?"

Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao was still quite energetic and mentally sound, Pei Yuan quickly said apologetically, "I was just worried about you..."

"Worried I'll die? Don't worry, I'm an unkillable cockroach. You think a mere stick can kill me? What a joke!"

"Okay, you're talking so energetically and logically, so your head probably isn't damaged."

Pei Yuan suddenly grasped Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said to her with deep affection, "Xiaoxiao, get well soon. Once you've recovered, we still have a lot to do."

"Hmm... but I need to remember who hit me on the head first. I definitely won't let him off easily!"

Su Xiaoxiao got so excited that her head started to ache again.

"Go and rest. You got into trouble yesterday because I wasn't by your side. I promise I'll never leave your side again. Xiaoxiao, you have to believe me."

Upon hearing this confession, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes immediately welled up with tears, and her vision blurred as she looked at Pei Yuan.

"Sanlang, it's so good to have you by my side."

Su Xiaoxiao said emotionally.

However, Pei Yuan had already walked quite far away and did not hear Su Xiaoxiao say such affectionate words.

Ten days later, Su Xiaoxiao was able to get out of bed and walk around. Occasionally, when she felt dizzy, it would only last for a short while.

She went to the jam shop in town. This time she was finally able to return to her beloved shop. Business was good and was not affected by Su Xiaoxiao's illness at home.

This shows that the manager Sun Shi, whom Su Xiaoxiao chose, is indeed very capable. She runs the jam specialty store very well and without making any mistakes. This is also why Su Xiaoxiao cultivated Sun Shi into her confidante.

After Su Xiaoxiao appeared, she comforted her shop assistant, saying that she was fine and had almost recovered from her illness.

Pei Yuan stayed by Su Xiaoxiao's side the whole time, extremely nervous. Whenever Su Xiaoxiao showed any signs of discomfort, Pei Yuan would immediately come over and ask her if she was feeling unwell.

Su Xiaoxiao had been busy in the store for less than an hour when Pei Yuan advised her to go home and rest.

Sun also tried to persuade her, and in the end, Su Xiaoxiao had no choice but to follow Pei Yuan out of the jam shop and head home.

On the street, Su Xiaoxiao, with her sharp eyes, spotted Jiu'er, whom she hadn't seen in a long time. Jiu'er was being pulled along by a man, her expression one of extreme reluctance.

Yet, it seemed they couldn't refuse either, and the two of them continued to tug at each other like that.

When Su Xiaoxiao saw that the man was about to pull her into the carriage, she felt that if she didn't step in, things really wouldn't work.

It's obvious that Miss Jiu'er isn't really willing, and we absolutely cannot let Miss Jiu'er get hurt.

"stop!"

Su Xiaoxiao appeared out of nowhere, like a hero saving a damsel in distress, and stood in front of Jiu'er, pushing aside the lewd man who had been pulling and tugging at her.

The man reeked of alcohol. Upon closer inspection, Su Xiaoxiao realized he was a sleazy middle-aged man dressed in rich clothes, with several thugs beside him, looking very arrogant.
