83: Extremely possessive
Shi Xu took it, held it in his hand, and examined it carefully.
Su Mianmian saw that he wasn't eating, and she looked at him curiously, not understanding why he didn't eat.
"Shi Xu, why aren't you eating?"
"Don't you trust me?"
Su Mianmian looked at Shi Xu curiously, her face full of doubt.
Shi Xu smiled; how could he not trust her?
"I was just curious about what it looked like, that's all."
"I could never not trust you."
Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian with a serious expression, dotingly.
Su Mianmian turned her head, feeling that Shi Xu's gaze was too intense.
Shi Xu saw her not looking at him, said nothing, and raised his hand to put the pill into his mouth.
The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth; he barely felt it before it was gone.
Shi Xu froze for a moment, his expression looking a little cute.
Su Mianmian happened to turn her head and saw his expression, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Shi Xu was so funny; did he not expect the pill to be like this?
"Shi Xu, you're so cute!"
"Hurry up and give them the pills!"
"I'll treat Wu Jingwen here."
Su Mianmian was worried Shi Xu would settle scores with her later, so she quickly pushed him out.
A bottle of pills was then placed in his hand by her.
Su Mianmian was about to close the door, but Shi Xu grabbed her hand.
"Mianmian, I think it's better if you give this yourself."
Shi Xu said, looking at her with an expression that brooked no refusal.
Su Mianmian generally understood what he meant.
Shi Xu just wanted them to remember her kindness.
Su Mianmian smiled; she thought Shi Xu was really a bit amusing.
Facing Shi Xu's serious face, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.
"Alright, then I'll go with you to deliver them now!"
"Actually, I don't think it matters."
"Why are we still distinguishing between whose is whose?"
Su Mianmian smiled, her face full of helplessness.
She genuinely didn't care about these things, and she didn't know why Shi Xu always wanted her to appear before them.
She knew he was doing it for her own good, but... Su Mianmian smiled helplessly, not knowing what to say.
Shi Xu reached out and ruffled her hair, dotingly saying, "I hope that in the future, when I encounter something, they can treat you the same way they treat me."
This was Shi Xu's goal; he wanted them to know that Su Mianmian was someone who could be trusted and protected.
He didn't want them to respect her only because of him.
He hoped she could use her abilities to make them genuinely accept her.
Listening to Shi Xu's words, Su Mianmian finally compromised.
This was a genuine compromise.
"Shi Xu, you always make it so I don't know how to refuse."
"You clearly know that nothing will happen to you."
And she wouldn't let anything happen to him either.
The thought of anything happening to Shi Xu made Su Mianmian unbearable.
This feeling of being out of her control was truly unpleasant.
Shi Xu said nothing, pulling her out.
Danger is not something anyone can be certain of.
Even he himself couldn't guarantee that he would always be by Su Mianmian's side.
Xu Qing and the others were overjoyed when they learned that Su Mianmian had been gone for a day to find a way to break Su Ran's ability for them.
"Mianmian, you're spoiling them too much."
"You give them whatever they want."
Su Jinxuan stood with his arms crossed, looking at the overjoyed Xu Qing and the others with displeasure.
He felt Su Mianmian was too tired; she shouldn't be doing these things.
Su Jinxuan was not afraid of Su Ran's ability; his willpower was firm, so how could he be easily swayed by her?
Su Mianmian looked at Su Jinxuan's displeased expression, smiled helplessly, and reached out to pat his shoulder, saying, "Actually, learning more is a good thing. This time, I not only learned how to break charm-type abilities, but I also learned how to break other abilities."
She had already decided to take some time to copy that book and then give it to them to read.
How could only she know?
Su Mianmian smiled, not telling them about this in advance.
"Sister-in-law, thank you, I love you too much!"
Xu Qing was so happy that he naturally blurted out such words of gratitude.
He used to say that to his other brothers; he was treating Su Mianmian like a brother now.
Su Mianmian didn't feel anything particular after hearing it; she knew what Xu Qing meant by "love."
It was just Shi Xu... Su Mianmian secretly glanced at Shi Xu, and he indeed looked displeased.
She silently mourned for Xu Qing for a second in her heart, hoping he wouldn't be beaten too badly by Shi Xu when he realized it later.
Xu Huan's smile stiffened; he looked at Shi Xu and suddenly took a few steps back.
Xu Qing knew nothing; he didn't even realize what he had just said.
Su Jinxuan suddenly coughed, and Xu Qing, hearing it, even asked if he was sick.
Su Jinxuan was now caught between laughter and tears.
"Xu Qing, you can't say you love sister-in-law; the boss will get jealous like that."
"Hurry up and apologize to the boss and sister-in-law."
Xu Huan pushed Xu Qing, winking and reminding him.
As soon as Xu Qing heard that, he immediately dared not look at Shi Xu's expression.
He lowered his head, looking as if life was meaningless, and said, "Boss, sister-in-law, I didn't mean it; I was just too..."
Xu Qing's face was mournful; he felt he was truly doomed.
Who among them didn't know about Shi Xu's possessiveness towards Su Mianmian?
He had just been too happy for a moment and blurted out such words.
Xu Qing could imagine how spectacular Shi Xu's expression must be.
Su Mianmian glanced at Shi Xu, then reached out and tugged his arm, signaling him not to be angry anymore.
She believed Shi Xu also knew Xu Qing's true intentions; he was just a little displeased in his heart.
However, they came this time to give out pills, not to argue.
Su Mianmian felt it was better not to have any unpleasant incidents.
Shi Xu looked at Su Mianmian, saw that her face was full of disapproval for him causing trouble, and silently gritted his teeth, nodded, indicating that he agreed and wouldn't cause trouble.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shi Xu was too stubborn, and it required a bit of special means to make him yield.
After distributing the pills, Su Mianmian went to see Wu Jingwen.
She had recovered a lot during this time, and some brain nerves had even reconnected.
However, the most important one had not yet connected; only when that one connected could she regain consciousness.
Su Mianmian released her healing ability, slowly treating her brain nerves.
Her ability was like an invisible hand, helping Wu Jingwen's disconnected brain nerves reconnect.
Tiny brain nerves were constantly being repaired, and at the same time, Su Mianmian's face slowly turned pale.
Just as Su Mianmian couldn't bear it anymore, she finally withdrew her ability.
"This kind of thing really can't be rushed; it still needs to be done slowly."
Su Mianmian murmured, her face pale.
She drank two bottles of spirit spring water and only then felt alive again.
Just now, she had been determined to persist in repairing that brain nerve, and the result was almost running out of ability.
Fortunately, she hadn't completely lost her mind, otherwise... Su Mianmian dared not imagine if she would still be alive now.
She took out a mirror and looked at her complexion, finding it very pale.
If she went out like this, they would definitely comment.
Su Mianmian thought about it and decided it was better not to go out for now.
She closed her eyes, sat cross-legged on the ground, and slowly restored her ability.
After an unknown amount of time, a knock on the door woke Su Mianmian.
She checked the time and found it was already seven in the evening.
Someone must have noticed she hadn't come out to eat for too long and came to call her.
Su Mianmian opened the door and found it was Mother Shi.
"Mianmian, it's time to eat."
"They've all gone out."
Mother Shi was very happy to see Su Mianmian.
