Shen Xiaoxiao knew perfectly well that it was definitely Chinese medicine as soon as she saw the situation.
Seizing the opportunity, while Lin Huanhuan was completely focused on Dai Xingyun, Shen Xiaoxiao tiptoed quietly into the house.
Just as Lin Huanhuan reached out and was about to touch Dai Xingyun's face, Shen Xiaoxiao, without thinking, slammed her palm down hard on Lin Huanhuan's neck.
With a muffled thud, Lin Huanhuan slowly collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoxiao rushed over as fast as the wind and carefully checked Dai Xingyun's condition.
"Good heavens! He actually fell under the influence of such a powerful drug. I really don't know where this educated youth Lin got such a wicked thing from?"
As Shen Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, she quickly took out a set of gleaming silver needles from her personal storage space.
Immediately afterwards, she skillfully inserted several needles into Dai Xingyun's acupoints.
As the silver needles were inserted into his body, Dai Xingyun, who had been unconscious, first twitched his eyelids slightly a few times, and then slowly opened his eyes.
However, because the effects of the drug had not completely worn off, his consciousness was still somewhat blurred.
Upon seeing Shen Xiaoxiao standing by the bedside, he mistakenly thought he was in a dream and murmured, "Xiaoxiao, so you've come into my dream."
Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at Dai Xingyun, annoyed, and said reproachfully, "Wake up! What are you dreaming about? If I hadn't come today, your wedding would probably be just around the corner!"
Dai Xingyun, who had been jolted back to his senses by Shen Xiaoxiao's words, still felt dizzy, as if his head was a mess.
He struggled to sit up, looking completely bewildered, and asked, "What... what happened to me?"
"You've been drugged, sedative!" Shen Xiaoxiao shouted anxiously.
Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun was startled and quickly looked around.
His gaze quickly fell on Lin Huanhuan lying on the ground, and he instantly understood something.
At this moment, Shen Xiaoxiao stepped forward and said somewhat arrogantly, "Today I saw that her eyes were very strange at the health center. After I got home, I felt more and more uneasy, so I came over to check on her."
"I didn't expect to find her about to attack you as soon as I got here. Luckily I arrived in time, otherwise you would have had to find someone else."
After saying that, a hint of expectation flickered in Shen Xiaoxiao's eyes, as if she was waiting for Dai Xingyun to express his gratitude to her.
Dai Xingyun felt a wave of fear; if Shen Xiaoxiao hadn't appeared in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
However, his expression remained calm and composed, revealing no trace of inner turmoil.
He smiled at Shen Xiaoxiao and said softly, "Thank you, my boyfriend." As he spoke, he reached out and gently patted Shen Xiaoxiao's head.
Shen Xiaoxiao grabbed his hand and pulled it away, pointing at Lin Huanhuan on the ground and asking, "What should we do now? We can't just leave her lying here like this, can we?"
"Do you have any way to wake Xiahou Jie up?" Dai Xingyun asked.
Shen Xiaoxiao calmly took out another set of sterilized silver needles from her medical kit and then skillfully and quickly pricked several acupoints on Xiahou Jie's body.
Not long after, Xiahou Jie, who had been unconscious, began to stir and slowly opened his eyes.
Xiahou Jie, who had just woken up, was still a little unsteady and staggered as he walked, as if he had lost his balance like a drunkard.
He tried to calm himself down, looked around, and when he saw the situation inside the room, he already understood about 70-80% of it.
He pondered to himself, "I was extremely careful and didn't eat any of the food that woman offered, so why did I still fall for her trick?"
At this moment, Dai Xingyun, who was standing to the side, looked at the two who were gradually waking up and showed a relieved smile on his face. He spoke softly to Shen Xiaoxiao.
"Xiaoxiao, now that we've all woken up, we should be fine. Why don't you go home and get some rest?"
"Leave the rest of the work to us," Dai Xingyun said gently.
Hearing this, Xiahou Jie quickly chimed in, "Yes, yes, little sister, we really owe you a lot today! If you hadn't come to our rescue in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
"But...hehe, thinking about it carefully, if it weren't for you saving your partner, we probably would have been finished!"
In the end, Xiahou Jie seemed to suddenly realize something and couldn't help but chuckle.
After all, given the relationship between Dai Xingyun and Shen Xiaoxiao, this expression of gratitude seemed somewhat superfluous.
"Alright, alright, you should hurry up and escort the little girl home safely. Don't worry about me handling things here."
Xiahou Jie waved his hands repeatedly while giving Dai Xingyun instructions with a serious expression.
"Alright, then I'll leave this to you! I'll take Xiaoxiao back now."
Dai Xingyun nodded heavily, then turned around and gently patted Xiahou Jie on the shoulder.
Immediately afterwards, Dai Xingyun reached out his right hand without hesitation, gently but firmly took Shen Xiaoxiao's left hand, and led her towards the door.
Shen Xiaoxiao lowered her head shyly, but her gaze involuntarily fell on their tightly clasped hands.
In that instant, she felt as if her cheeks had been roasted by fire, quickly becoming scalding hot.
Dai Xingyun seemed oblivious to her unusual behavior, holding her hand firmly the entire time without letting go for a moment.
And so they walked side by side in silence, neither of them speaking a word, yet the atmosphere between them was exceptionally warm and peaceful.
Unbeknownst to them, they had slowly walked out of the educated youth compound and through the entire village.
During this short journey, the distance between the two seemed to shrink considerably, and their heart-to-heart communication became more frequent.
Finally, they arrived at the Shen family's gate. Dai Xingyun stopped, turned his head slightly, gazed at Shen Xiaoxiao beside him, and said softly, "Xiaoxiao, I'm so grateful to have you by my side today."
Upon hearing these words, a sweet warmth welled up in Shen Xiaoxiao's heart.
She looked up, meeting Dai Xingyun's affectionate gaze, and teased him casually, "Hmph, you're my boyfriend. What would I do if another woman snatched you away?"
After saying that, she playfully winked at him.
Upon hearing this, Dai Xingyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a doting smile.
