Gourmet Girl: Becoming a Royal Merchant Started from Selling Buns

"Ah, huh?"

Su An squinted his eyes vaguely and tilted his head slightly, then he could see clearly that she was lying in her own room, with light shining through the gauze of the window onto the bed.

Fu Zhun, who was sitting in a wheelchair, leaned over to watch over her bed.

When he saw her wake up, his eyes were as deep as the night sea, and he gently dipped his fingertips in the last bit of ointment and carefully applied it on her burned hand.

"I heard that the burns on your hands and body were caused by saving that fellow named Zhang San."

Fu Zhun spoke in a low voice. Although it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry, the aura around him suddenly became heavier.

"He's just a fellow. Is it worth it for you to disregard the danger and hurt yourself like this?" Fu Zhun said to the end with a look of pity that could no longer be concealed.

Su An's eyes were still a little dazed, staring at him blankly.

Hearing this, his eyes naturally fell on his arms, and he saw that his originally fair skin was covered with redness, swelling and blisters, and some places were even broken and bleeding.

Indeed, it makes my teeth hurt just looking at it.

Su An opened his mouth and coughed hard, clearing the stagnation in his throat. Then he stared at him with a smile on his face and said, "Zhang San is my buddy. He works under me, so naturally I have to protect him."

"By the way, how long have I been unconscious? He was shot by an arrow, so his condition should be more serious than mine. Is he okay?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Zhun's handsome brows darkened and his face became visibly darker.

"You slept for a whole day and night. As for that man, Xie Qingfeng is already treating him. His life is safe for the time being!"

His tone was obviously sour, and he stared at Su An and sneered: "You are quite promising. You are covered in wounds, but the first thing you think about when you wake up is others."

"Haha!" Su An pulled his lips, holding back the urge to laugh, and propped himself up to half sit up and said, "I don't know who it is that disappeared without a trace, refused to reveal any information, and still blamed others for not remembering you."

She raised her eyes, her eyes serious and she couldn't help but look at Fu Zhun nervously, "So what's going on in the capital? Did you encounter any danger? Did the dog emperor force you?"

Fortunately, he was still in the mood to chat as soon as she woke up. She was almost worried to death.

Fu Zhun lowered his eyelashes and smiled at her, then shook his head and said simply, "Don't worry, the emperor can't do anything to me. Everything is fine."

Hearing this answer that was not an answer, Su An's eyebrows twitched violently and a surge of anger rushed to his throat.

"Xiao An, you just need to take care of yourself. Don't ask me about the rest. I will make my own arrangements." Fu Zhun gently held her hand and stroked it with pity.

Feeling the emotions surging in his black eyes, Su An's heart palpitated inexplicably. He opened his mouth but was speechless.

Based on her understanding of the dog emperor's character, he was a crazy tyrant and was definitely not someone to be dealt with easily.

It's easy to imagine the unspeakable hardships and dangers that could have delayed Fu Zhun for such a long time...

Did he not let her ask because he thought she couldn't help and was wasting her time worrying? Or was he afraid she would be implicated, putting her in even greater danger?

But no matter which aspect, Fu Zhun was determined to bear it alone and not drag her down.

As he thought about it, Su An couldn't help but have red eyes again. He stared at Fu Zhun's lonely appearance, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart.

"Forget it, you are the boss, and I can't pry your mouth open if you don't want to talk!"

She pretended to roll her eyes and sighed heavily, but she used too much force and gasped in pain from the burns on her limbs, "Hiss—"

Fu Zhun's eyes tightened, and he raised his fingertips, but he didn't know what to do. He frowned and scolded, "Now you know it hurts. Don't be so stupid again in the future."

After hearing what he said, Su An suddenly remembered something and immediately touched his face with alarm bells ringing.

After a moment, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Fortunately, fortunately, my face wasn't burned, otherwise it would be ugly!"

"No matter how ugly you are, I only have eyes for you." Fu Zhun spoke without hesitation, staring at her with his dark eyes.

Su An's face flushed when he heard that. He snorted and pushed him away. "I don't believe it! If I really turned into an ugly monster, you might be the first one to be scared away."

Fu Zhun frowned and was about to retort when suddenly a shrill scream came from the side room.

Vaguely recognizing it as Zhang San's voice, Su An's smile instantly disappeared and he quickly got out of bed. "Why is that kid screaming so miserably? I'll go see him!"

Zhang San worked very hard in the shop. He saved the shop from crises several times and just saved his life yesterday. Su An's heart was itching and he ran out anxiously, leaving Fu Zhun no time to speak.

As I stepped into the side room, the house was filled with a pungent smell of medicine and blood.

Xie Qingfeng was seen standing in front of the couch. His blue shirt was stained with blood. He was holding a sharp scraper firmly in his hand and was scraping the flesh to heal Zhang San's wound.

Zhang San lay on the couch with his back facing up, screaming uncontrollably. His face, which had been relatively strong, was now mostly burned, including his neck. The charred skin and flesh were a horrible sight.

"Ahh-!"

As Xie Qingfeng's cold knife fell, veins popped up on Zhang San's forehead, and beads of sweat mixed with blood soaked the pillowcase.

"This is so serious..."

Seeing this scene, Su An felt a surge of guilt and looked around in a daze.

At that time, when the sky was raining fire and the situation was urgent, she only saw Zhang San was hit by an arrow and burned. After the fire was put out, his body was covered in ash. She didn't expect that he was injured like this!

If she hadn't asked Zhang San to go with her to put out the fire, Zhang San wouldn't have suffered such an unexpected disaster. Ultimately, it was all because of her...

Su An bit her lip, unable to bear watching any longer, turned around and hurried out of the room.

After a long time, the screams in the house gradually stopped.

When Su An turned back, he saw Xie Qingfeng coming out.

His face looked ugly and a little tired. He just nodded to Su An and said, "He's fine. All the rotten flesh on his body has been scraped off. He just needs to apply medicine and take it on time to recover from the injury."

Su An thanked him gratefully, then gently opened the door and walked in.

Zhang San on the couch was sweating and panting. When he saw Su An, he forced a smile. The smile looked particularly hideous because of the burns on his face, but his brows still revealed a sense of heroism.

"Boss, I'm so glad you're okay. This place is full of blood and energy. You're not in good health, so you'd better get out of here!"

Su An saw that he was still taking care of himself at this time, and his nose suddenly felt sore.

She walked over with red eyes and placed the small square box in her hand beside his bed.

"Zhang San, I'm responsible for getting you into trouble. Here are 10,000 taels of silver and the deed to a house I just bought. Take them and take good care of yourself."

"No matter what happens in the future, the Su family will always support you, you don't have to worry about anything!"

After hearing this, Zhang San suddenly grinned with joy. Although his smile was strange and difficult, his heroic spirit was not diminished at all. "You are worthy of being my chosen boss. You are so kind!"

"Hehe, if you could find me a wife, I would be even happier!"
