Manager Chu was very angry. He took the gongs and drums from the waiter and beat them several times, causing many people to raise their hands and cover their ears.
"Poisonous woman!!" Manager Chu scolded, "Just because Yiqiu thinks her chicken soup is too old, she will kill someone with a grudge!!"
Hongwen didn't dare to stay any longer and went back quietly.
After entering the house, she closed the door and looked up to see Zou Zhan's cold eyes outside the door. Hongwen's heart skipped a beat and she quickly closed the door.
"Hongwen?" Dingchun said.
"...Huh?" Hongwen turned her head in a daze and looked towards her.
"Your face doesn't look good." Dingchun observed her.
"I, I may be too cold, a bit chilly, just, my stomach hurts a bit, maybe I'm freezing." Hongwen raised her hand to cover her stomach.
"That's just right," Dingchun said, "The doctor is here, let him take a look at it for you."
Hongwen looked at Shen Shu's slim and graceful back.
The man not only has a handsome face, but also has a good figure. Apart from being too thin, with a head-to-shoulder ratio and broad shoulders, he is the most outstanding one among the crowd.
"Don't look." Shen Xu said lightly, her voice still hoarse.
Not only Hongwen Dingchun, but also Yiqiu who was lying on the bed was slightly stunned by the refusal so bluntly.
"Doctor, isn't this a piece of cake..." Dingchun said weakly.
"Ha." Shen Xu said expressionlessly.
Dingchun and Hongwen looked at each other, embarrassed.
"Doctor..." Yiqiu also said softly.
Shen Xu looked down at her: "Why, do you want to be generous to others?"
"No, I didn't."
"Then shut up."
Yiqiu then stopped talking.
Dingchun and Hongwen didn't dare to talk anymore.
They looked at Shen Shu's figure and really couldn't figure out the temperament of this overly good-looking doctor.
Yesterday he was friendly and kind, with the corners of his lips raised from time to time, and the faint arc when he smiled was beautiful and charming, but since today, he has never smiled.
The little apprentice died, so they must have been unable to laugh, but the sadness they felt from the doctor was really limited. They felt more cold, impatient, disgusted, and a bit irritable towards others.
Time passed slowly and the room became completely silent.
Dingchun quietly yawned and looked outside the house.
It feels like a long time has passed, last night doesn't seem to be as late as tonight.
Yiqiu also slowly closed her eyes and was about to fall asleep.
"Zou Zhan." Shen Xu suddenly spoke.
Yiqiu's sleepiness dissipated a little and she opened her eyes.
"Young Master." Zou Zhan responded outside.
"The courtyard is quite lively."
"It's been a long time."
Shen Xu took a deep breath and said calmly: "Prepare the carriage."
"yes."
"Thank you, doctor." Yiqiu said sleepily.
Shen Xu said nothing and packed the herb box.
Dingchun came forward with his hands raised. When he was almost close, Shen Xu stopped his movements and said coldly: "Are you allowed to come here?"
Dingchun looked at the handsome profile from a limited angle: "Slave, I want to help."
"Need your help?"
Dingchun pursed his lips, lowered his head and said, "This slave is rude."
"I don't want to see you," Shen Xu said, "Get out."
Dingchun's face turned red to the back of his ears. He had never felt so embarrassed and couldn't lift his head.
"Yes." She summoned up the courage to say, turned around and walked out.
Hongwen stood there and said uneasily: "Doctor, then I..."
"How do you think you are better than her?"
"Then, I'll go out too..." Hongwen Fuli said, "If you have anything, doctor, just ask."
Hongwen also left.
Yiqiu lay on the bed, not daring to breathe out, trying to reduce her sense of presence.
Shen Xu packed up the herb box, looked at her sideways, and said condescendingly: "What do you have to be afraid of? Is it possible that I will push you out of the bed together with you?"
Although he was his savior, Yi Qiu really couldn't help but think about how such a good-looking person could have such a long mouth.
"You are my patient," Shen Xu added, "I either don't save people or I have to save them, so I take my patients more seriously than anyone else."
"Thank you doctor for your kindness..."
Shen Xu raised her eyebrows slightly and her gaze became very deep.
Yiqiu didn't know what she said wrongly, and looked into his dark pupils anxiously.
After a while, Shen Xu said: "Heh."
Turn around and leave.
"..."
Hongwen closed the door when she left.
Shen Xu raised her hand and put it on the door, ready to open it, when her eyes jumped.
His brows that had just relaxed were slightly wrinkled again.
An unspeakable bad premonition made him very irritable.
Shen Xu took a breath and opened the door.
The coachman was already waiting, and Zou Zhan was waiting for him too. There was no trace of frost or snow in the courtyard, the howling of the wind, and the warm and soft light of the courtyard lamp made the sky and earth a blur of orange.
It seems... nothing special.
Shen Shu's eyes looked to the left, then to the right, and he took steps.
Just as he stepped on the stool and was about to get on the carriage, the girl's clear and sweet voice sounded: "Shen Shu."
Shen Xu stepped on the air and almost fell.
Zou Zhan was frightened and hurriedly supported him. At the same time, Zou Zhan suddenly showed murderous intent and looked at the person coming.
Shen Xu maintained a stiff posture, as if he were petrified, with his broad cloak hanging down. Because he was not wearing a hood, his long, untied dark black hair was as smooth and straight as satin.
The sound of footsteps came through the frost and snow, and there were more than one person's footsteps.
Shen Xu quickly mobilized his facial muscles and tried to smile, but it was very difficult.
No wonder the corners of my eyes are twitching, no wonder my heart feels uneasy.
The girl stopped five steps away from him. She hadn't seen him for several years. She had grown taller very quickly, her neck was slender and elegant, and her small and delicate face had moving brows and eyes that were like clear and clean lake water.
Shen Xu got off the stool and stood on the snow looking at her without saying anything. To be precise, he didn't know what to say.
"Shen Shu." Zhao Ning, who came with Xia Zhaoyi, said.
They had met several times back then, and the first time they met was at Panyun Road.
Shen Shu smiled, nodded lightly at her, and looked at Xia Zhaoyi.
Speaking of which, he shouldn't be worried. When he came to Hengxiang, he was just looking for her. When he learned that she had left, he felt unhappy and irritated. Now that they happened to meet up, the lunchbox was as expected.
"Ah Li." Shen Shu said with a smile.
"We all thought you were dead," Xia Zhaoyi said directly without mincing words, "How did you escape?"
"There is a secret passage under the water. Zou Zhan carried me on his back to escape."
"It's been hard to keep your composure these past few years. I heard that you keep sending strange drawings to other people?"
"..."
This was true, but when she said it, he seemed particularly childish.
"I don't seem to have sent it to you." Shen Xu said.
"Or should I say I heard about it?"
Shen Xu frowned slightly.
"Did you inflict Yiqiu's poison?" Xia Zhaoyi asked again.
"Oh," Shen Xu said with disdain, "How could that be?"
"Then why did you save her?"
Shen Shu smiled kindly and said warmly: "I am a doctor, a chivalrous and righteous person, and I help the weak."
Xia Zhaoyi also smiled like a spring breeze: "Do you believe it?"
"Xin." Shen Xu said.
"Then do you know who poisoned him?"
"I am a doctor, not an official."
"Really, but I think it's you." Xia Zhaoyi smiled even sweeter.
"Manager Chu." Zhao Ning said.
Manager Chu hurriedly stepped forward: "Madam."
"Please invite Master Shen to have a cup of tea," Zhao Ning said.
