Everyone Wants to Pamper the Bigshot Researcher After Her Rebirth!

Chapter 83: Xiao Xiao

Song Fan left after saying that. She couldn’t help but smile when her mind brimmed with anticipation for what lay ahead.

After navigating through a series of narrow alleys, she eventually arrived at a modest noodle shop. Though tucked away in a less frequented part of town, the establishment buzzed with elderly customers who were regulars.

Upon entering the shop, Song Fan settled onto a stool. A young lady swiftly emerged from the kitchen and inquired, “What would you like to have?”

Upon recognizing her, the young lady’s eyes widened. “Sister Song Fan, why are you here?”

With a smile, Song Fan responded, “Can’t I visit?” The young lady, filled with delight, continued, “I’m thrilled you’re here. Have you had dinner? Would you like me to prepare a bowl of noodles for you?”

“Xiao Xiao, there’s no need to trouble yourself. I just had dinner at my godmother’s place. I’ve come to visit you and Grandpa Xiao,” Song Fan replied.

Xiao Xiao excitedly called out, “Grandpa, Sister Song Fan is here.” Grandpa Xiao poked his head out and greeted, “Xiao Fan, you’ve come. Would you like me to whip up a bowl of noodles for you?”

Song Fan reaffirmed her earlier statement, and Grandpa Xiao retreated to the kitchen to prepare the meal. As he worked, he warmly invited Song Fan to consider the noodle shop as her second home.

Xiao Xiao smiled and said, “I’ve taken on a wig-making job with a tight deadline. I’ll be finished in a little while. Can you wait for me?”

With a continued smile, Song Fan reassured Xiao Xiao, “You don’t need to worry about me. Go ahead and focus on your work; there’s no need for you to stay with me.”

Xiao Xiao had crossed paths with Song Fan three years ago during her escape. She had been found injured and lying in a pool of blood, and she claimed that

Song Fan had saved her life. However, Song Fan had no recollection of these events.

Over the past two years, Xiao Xiao’s memory had remained foggy regarding her own experiences, yet she held an unwavering belief that Song Fan had been her savior. This conviction stemmed from her instinctual recollection.

They often crossed paths during the police investigations that followed. Xiao Xiao’s fragile health at the time couldn’t withstand the grueling interrogations. When she was rescued, she had only one breath left.

Song Fan had taken care of Xiao Xiao during the investigation, and their friendship had blossomed as a result.

Although Xiao Xiao had returned to A City to live with her grandfather, she often visited Song Fan in Yongping Village. Little did she expect that Song Fan would now come to A City.

After the customers finished their meals and left, Xiao Xiao and Grandpa Xiao finally wrapped up their work. They sat down in the noodle shop and engaged in a heartfelt conversation with Song Fan.

“Sister Song Fan, did you come to City A for something specific, or are you planning to stay here?” Xiao Xiao grasped Song Fan’s hand.

With a warm smile, Song Fan responded, “I’m currently working as a teacher at Eke, so I’m living in A City.”

“That’s wonderful!” Xiao Xiao stood up in excitement, and a wave of dizziness almost made her fall. It was Song Fan’s quick reflexes that prevented her from falling.

Grandpa Xiao rushed nervously to support his granddaughter. It took a moment for Xiao Xiao to regain her composure. Song Fan asked with concern, “Is Xiao Xiao’s health still fragile? Have you been taking the medication I sent on time?”

Grandpa Xiao sighed. “I’ve made sure she takes it twice a day, but recovery takes time. Xiao Xiao is much better now. In the first year after she returned, she couldn’t even walk on her own.”

Tears welled up in Grandpa Xiao’s eyes as he recalled those difficult times when his beloved granddaughter’s condition had been so dire. He had been at a loss, not knowing how to cope with it.

Song Fan couldn’t help but sigh. Xiao Xiao had endured unimaginable suffering in the past, and even the hospital had been uncertain about her chances of survival. It was Song Fan who had requested her godmother to bring a Heart Protection Pill that had ultimately saved Xiao Xiao’s life.

However, the pill had only been a lifeline. Song Fan could only keep sending medicine to help Xiao Xiao in recovery, though a full recuperation remained elusive.

With a heavy heart, Song Fan looked at Xiao Xiao and said, “I’ll keep sending you the medicine. With time and regular intake, you’ll eventually get better.”

Grandpa Xiao, moved by Song Fan’s unwavering support, began to tear up as he expressed his gratitude, “I apologize for the trouble, Xiao Fan. You’ve taken care of us for so many years, even helping us open this noodle shop. Xiao Xiao lost her parents long ago, and I’m her only family. Without you, I fear we might have starved to death.”

He had lost his wife in his youth and his son in his middle age. Xiao Xiao was his only family left in the world. If it wasn’t for the fact that he still wanted to take care of his granddaughter, he would have died long ago.

“Grandpa, don’t say that. This is all the fault of those who kidnapped us. If I can find them, I will make them pay,” Song Fan said with a solemn expression.

“Yes, we must find these b*stards,” Grandpa Xiao wiped his tears and said viciously..
