After Shen Chuwei finished the kiss, she stood up straight and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a smile: "I'm going back. I'll come again tomorrow night."
Lin Xian finally reacted, and when he saw her about to leave, he reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Shen Chuwei's eyebrows curved slightly, "Has my husband changed his mind? Do you want me to stay?"
“…” Lin Xian: “No.”
Shen Chuwei looked at the hand holding her wrist with some disappointment, and asked doubtfully: "Then why is my husband holding my hand?"
Lin Xian said coldly: "Men and women should not touch each other, don't you understand?"
Shen Chuwei sighed helplessly. In his eyes, they were not husband and wife, so he thought a goodnight kiss was an inappropriate behavior.
But in her eyes, they are a loving couple, so what does a kiss mean? "Of course I understand. My husband, please take a rest. I'm going back."
Shen Chuwei yawned after she finished speaking. She had been staying up late every night during this period. Although she would make up for it during the day, she still felt that she did not get enough sleep.
During this period of time, Shen Chuwei always came late at night, and it was already late at night when she finished treating the patients. I couldn't see her before, but now I could see that she looked tired. She must be very tired.
When Shen Chuwei came out of the house, she saw Qin Xiao walking out from the dark. Ever since he appeared from behind her and scared her last time, Qin Xiao always came out from in front of her.
"Master, has he not remembered yet?"
Shen Chuwei shook his head, thinking back to Xiao Jinyan's reaction during this period, he did not seem like a person with amnesia, because a person with amnesia would not think about who he is, but would be curious about who he is.
"I don't think he has lost his memory."
Qin Xiao asked: "Master, if you don't have amnesia, then what is it?"
"I feel like there's something wrong with his memory." Shen Chuwei pondered but couldn't come to a conclusion, but she could feel that Xiao Jinyan didn't hate her now.
"Is there something wrong with the memory?" Qin Xiao was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
On the day of the Water-Splashing Festival, Shen Chuwei was sleeping soundly in bed when she was awakened by a knock on the door.
Only after hearing what the maid said did she know that today was the Water-Splashing Festival and that people from all over the city would go to the square to splash water and pray for blessings.
After Shen Chuwei finished listening, she lay on the couch, closed her eyes and continued to sleep. It was better to sleep than to play in the water. The maid asked in confusion: "Doctor Shen, aren't you going?"
Shen Chuwei lay on the couch motionless, her voice lazy: "No."
The maid stared at Doctor Shen for a long time. After spending these days with him, the maid had gotten to know Doctor Shen well. He was a very nice person, except that he liked to sleep. He would never stand if he could sit, and would never sit if he could lie down.
Another hobby is eating.
Seeing that Doctor Shen was not interested, the maid stood up and left.
Seeing the Third Master at the door, she stepped forward and bowed, "Third Master, Doctor Shen is resting inside and said he is not interested in the Water Splashing Festival."
"I'll go in and take a look." Ouyang Jingyuan waved away the maid, pushed open the door and walked in. He saw Doctor Shen on the couch. Just as the maid said, he was lying on the couch to rest.
"Doctor Shen, today is the annual Water Splashing Festival, and there are many fruits and cakes. Are you sure you don't want to take a look?"
When Shen Chuwei heard the word pastries and fruits, she immediately opened her eyes and saw Ouyang Jingyuan looking at her with a smile.
"real?"
Ouyang Jingyuan smiled and said, "Of course it's true."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Shen Chuwei climbed up from the couch nimbly.
Ouyang Jingyuan looked at the man who was still half asleep one second, and put on his shoes in high spirits the next. He couldn't help laughing, "I thought Doctor Shen knew about this."
"How would I know the customs here?" Shen Chuwei put on her shoes, picked up Xuetuan who was sleeping beside her, and urged, "Let's go."
"Okay." Ouyang Jingyuan took Shen Chuwei out.
The sun is shining brightly outside
Shen Chuwei followed Ouyang Jingyuan out of the imperial city and heard the bustling noises from afar. The sound of stringed instruments was inaudible in her ears, and everywhere she looked was filled with people.
She glanced around and didn't see any food, so she reached out and poked Ouyang Jingyuan, "Where is the food?"
Ouyang Jingyuan chuckled: "Follow me."
"Okay." Shen Chuwei followed Ouyang Jingyuan to the high platform on one side. The platform was divided into three levels and many people were sitting on it.
She saw Ouyang Jingyu and Ouyang Leyuan sitting there, and in the middle sat a man about fifty years old. He was wearing moon-white clothes with gold inlays, and the scarf on his head was also with gold inlays.
It was not difficult to guess that this man was the chief of the Xing Miao tribe. This was the first time she had seen him after being here for so long.
Ouyang Jingyuan brought Shen Chuwei to the patriarch, placed his right hand on his left chest to salute, and introduced: "Father, this is the doctor Shen who treated the child."
Shen Chuwei imitated Ouyang Jingyuan, raised his right hand and placed it on his left chest to salute, "Patriarch."
The clan leader has been busy recently and has not had time to meet the skilled doctor Shen. Now that he sees how young Shen is, his eyes are filled with surprise.
"Doctor Shen, don't be restrained, eat and drink as you please."
Shen Chu bowed slightly and thanked him, "Thank you for the hospitality, Patriarch."
Ouyang Jingyuan brought Shen Chuwei to sit next to Ouyang Leyuan.
Shen Chuwei looked at the dozens of plates of cakes and fruits in front of her, and couldn't wait to pick up a piece of cake she had never seen before and put it in her mouth and took a bite. It was cool and refreshing, a little sweet, and tasted good.
Ouyang Jingyuan picked up the wine pot and poured her a glass of wine, "This is a sweet wine made from fruits, try it."
Shen Chuwei looked at the sweet wine in the glass cup, which was light red in color. She picked it up and took a sip with curiosity. It tasted sour and sweet, and icy at the beginning. It must have been chilled.
Ouyang Leyuan saw the snowball in Doctor Shen's arms. She turned around, took the arm of the clan leader, and said coquettishly, "Father, Doctor Shen has a pet, and my daughter likes it very much."
"Doctor Shen."
Shen Chuwei raised his head and looked at the clan leader after hearing this. He ate the fruit in his mouth before asking, "What's the matter, clan leader?"
The clan leader smiled and said, "My daughter likes your pet very much. How much do you think it would cost?"
If it were someone else, they would give the pet to Ouyang Leyuan for free for the sake of the clan leader.
Shen Chuwei hugged Xuetuan tightly and refused directly: "Chief, this is my pet. I won't sell it. I have already rejected Princess Le Yuan last time."
The smile on the patriarch's face froze when he heard this. As the patriarch, how could he have ever been rejected by anyone?
Ouyang Leyuan didn't expect that Doctor Shen wouldn't even give her father face. She continued to act coquettishly, "Father, I really like it."
The clan leader looked at his daughter's expectant eyes and couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he had to speak again: "Since Doctor Shen doesn't want money, can you exchange it with something else?"
Shen Chuwei put down the glass cup in his hand and said seriously: "Chief, in your eyes, Xuetuan is a pet, but in my eyes, it is like a family member. I have no intention of selling or giving it away, and I will not use Xuetuan to exchange for anything."
The clan leader was insulted again and looked unhappy, but Doctor Shen was unwilling to change and he couldn't use force to put pressure on him.

Ouyang Leyuan was unwilling to give up and tugged at the arm of the clan leader, and continued to act like a spoiled child, "Father."
Seeing his sister being so unreasonable, Ouyang Jingyuan said, "Sister, a gentleman should not take away what others like. If you like cats, I will buy one for you tomorrow."
Ouyang Leyuan found out that her brother was leaning towards outsiders, and said unhappily, "I just like Doctor Shen's pet Xuetuan. Can you find a cat that looks exactly like him?"
Ouyang Jingyuan said: "You are being unreasonable. How can there be two cats that are exactly the same?"
"Third brother, my sister likes it. Doctor Shen is not a stingy person. A gentleman should help others to achieve their goals. It's just a cat. What's wrong with giving it to my sister?" The one who spoke was Ouyang Jingxuan, the second son of the clan leader. He looked at his sister with a doting face.
"Second brother really loves me, unlike some people who only help outsiders." Ouyang Leyuan snorted.
"I am neither a gentleman nor generous. I am just an ordinary person. You think too highly of me." Shen Chuwei said confidently.
No one present expected that Dr. Shen would belittle himself like this, leaving everyone speechless for a moment.
Ouyang Jingyuan retracted his gaze and looked at Shen Chuwei. Her indifferent expression showed that not everyone could openly reject the clan leader. He still admired her a little.
The drums sounded and the water splashing session began.
Both royal family members and nobles walked to the center of the square and splashed water to pray for blessings.
Ouyang Leyuan also ran down happily because she wanted to pray for Lin Xian.
Ouyang Jingyuan asked Shen Chuwei, "Splash water and pray for blessings, will you go?"
Shen Chuwei shook her head decisively: "No, I'll go back after I finish eating the cakes and fruits."
Ouyang Jingyuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed out loud. She really came just for a few plates of cakes and fruits.
"Then I'll go down."
Shen Chuwei nodded.
As the third uncle of the Xing Miao ethnic group, Ouyang Jingyuan must participate in the water splashing and blessing ceremony.
After Shen Chuwei finished eating the pastries and fruits, she took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, then picked up Xuetuan and returned to the imperial city.
After returning to the guest room, Shen Chuwei put Xuetuan aside and lay down on the couch to continue sleeping, because he had to stay up late at night to treat his illness.
Just when Shen Chu was dozing off, he suddenly heard the sound of fighting.
Snowball screamed, "Meow."
Shen Chuwei raised his head and rubbed his eyes, then saw the maid running in hurriedly.
"Doctor Shen, something happened."
Something happened? Shen Chuwei sat up from the couch, put on her shoes and walked out of the house, and saw Qin Xiao fighting with a group of guards in the yard.
She yelled, "What the hell is going on?"
Qin Xiao took the time to reply: "Sir, they want to arrest you."
After they all stopped, Shen Chuwei asked doubtfully: "Why did you arrest me?"
The leading guard said, "The Third Master suddenly fainted. Can you please ask Doctor Shen to come with us?"
If he hadn't been so sure in his words, Shen Chuwei would have thought they were joking.
"He was fine before I came back, how could he suddenly faint?"
"We are only following orders." The leading guard waved his hand to signal for someone to be arrested.
A group of guards surrounded him again, and when Qin Xiao tried to take action, he was stopped by Shen Chuwei.
"This is someone else's territory. They may have cast a spell on it. You can't attack them head-on."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao stared at the guard who was walking towards him, unwilling to surrender like this.
