Song Tingshen was caught off guard by Shen Shuyi's sudden action. He was hugged by her and couldn't move, for fear that she would fall.

The eldest daughter is very delicate and will definitely cry if she gets hurt from the fall.

Shen Shuyi took in his expression and put his lips gently to his ear, "What are you worried about?"

"Or are you always thinking about leaving me and are afraid of taking responsibility?"

"Or... you dislike my leg problems... um..."

Before she could finish her words, she felt her waist tighten and Song Tingshen held her in his arms.

Then, the mouth that was still speaking was wrapped by the man's hot lips...

Shen Shuyi was shocked. She didn't expect that she would really make Song Tingshen angry.

She struggled subconsciously, but the man held the back of her head tightly.

The movement between their lips was like a storm, just like Song Tingshen's nature.

When I first met him, I thought he was a dull and honest man who was just doing his job as her bodyguard.

But at heart he is a rebellious young marshal.

Shen Shuyi supported the man's chest with both hands and tried to distance herself from him, but when she moved slightly away from him, she made an ambiguous and shameful sound.

Song Tingshen had no idea what a gentle kiss was. He just wanted to severely punish this young lady who had repeatedly angered him.

Shen Shuyi was completely defeated, and every breath he took was his.

Song Tingshen placed his warm and large palm on her waist but did not move at all, fearing that he would completely lose control.

When this unguarded kiss ended, Shen Shuyi felt stars in his eyes, his chest heaving and his breathing becoming very rapid.

Song Tingshen looked at her charming appearance and couldn't help but lower his head and peck her slightly swollen cherry lips.

He warned in a low voice, "Next time it will be more than just a kiss."

"Miss, I am a normal man."

Song Tingshen picked up the cheongsam that had fallen on the ground, forced himself to remain calm and put it on for her, then fastened the buttons one by one with his slender and powerful fingers.

Shen Shuyi looked down at the man in front of her who was buttoning her clothes, and she felt her heart still pounding.

It's just... he looks like a tough guy, but his lips... are really soft...

Both of them were breathing unsteadily. Song Tingshen helped her put on her clothes and then looked away.

He sat back in front of the fire, dug out the buried sweet potatoes with a wooden stick, and carefully patted away the ashes. Chen Shuyi, in a daze, put her dried long hair on one side of her neck and began to braid it.

The sweet smell of sweet potatoes wafted over, and Shen Shuyi's stomach growled awkwardly a few times.

Seeing Song Tingshen handing over a peeled sweet potato, she glared at him and said, "It's all your fault. I'm hungry!"

Song Ting knew that he had indeed lost control just now. He put the sweet potato in the eldest lady's hand and said, "It was the young lady who provoked me first."

"I'm teasing you, but who gave you permission to kiss me?"

Facing the young lady's arrogance, the man smiled and said, "Next time you tease me, I might go even further."

Shen Shuyi took a bite of the sweet and hot roasted sweet potato and glanced at him indifferently, "How is it excessive?"

Song Tingshen looked at her slightly swollen lips, only to feel his abdomen tighten and he quickly looked away.

How else could he go too far?

He could only endure it no matter how much the young lady acted.

Chen Shu couldn't utter a word for a long time, and he snorted and finished eating the roasted sweet potato.

When the rain stopped and they left, Song Tingshen was still walking with his back to someone.

Returning to the wheelchair, he bent down to put the person down, and when he stood up he said, "Miss, no matter what our relationship is, I will protect you."

Shen Shuyi said nothing, only her face turned slightly red.

He refuses intimacy but promises protection. What on earth is this man doing?

Back at the hotel, Shen Shuyi took a comfortable hot bath.

Song Tingshen naturally carried her to bed and considerately brought her ginger soup.

"Drink and then go to sleep."

Shen Shuyi took a small sip, “It’s spicy, you drink it.”

Song Tingshen looked at her for a while, then took the bowl and drank the remaining ginger soup in two gulps.

"I need to rinse my mouth."

Song Tingshen carried her to wash up again. After all the trouble, Shen Shuyi didn't know if he was tired or not, but she felt like she could fall asleep as soon as she lay down.

"Good night, miss."

Shen Shuyi raised her hand and grabbed the man's wrist, staring at him without blinking, "A Shen, you really don't want to try with me?"

Song Tingshen lowered his head to look at her. It was dark and silent, and they could hear each other breathing.

He said in a deep voice, "Miss, I don't even remember who I am, how can I try with you?"

"Are you afraid that I will regret it?" Shen Shuyi asked softly.

"This period of time is the darkest time in my life. My legs are broken, my aunt and relatives are fighting for power, the situation is turbulent, and there are too many people who want to hurt me. If you weren't by my side, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on."

"I don't need to know who you are, I just want to know how good you are to me."

The man remained silent, and Shen Shuyi fell into a deep sleep after a while.

Song Tingshen looked at her sleeping appearance, and felt his heart swell. He lowered his head and kissed the young lady's forehead gently, "Go to sleep."

"The night will eventually pass."

Your future is bright.

…

After returning to Haicheng, Shen Shuyi started to get busy again.

In addition to reorganizing Tongchuntang, she also spent some time studying the pharmacopoeia passed down by the Chen family. The cover was already worn out, but fortunately the handwriting was still clear and could be read smoothly.

She curiously asked the system, "66, is this really the medical book passed down from the Imperial Palace's Imperial Medical Bureau?"

[Host, what do you think? ]

Shen Shuyi had read most of it, and nodded thoughtfully, "Maybe it's true, it contains all the subjects, it's so huge that it can't be compiled by one person... Such a valuable thing, so Gu Yuanjing is thinking about it..."
