Some were bought by the master at high prices from various places, and some were collected from his own insights and experiences during his years of practicing medicine.
Su Ci pointed to the books in the study room and introduced them to Shen Zhiyan.
Shen Zhiyan followed him and listened silently.
Su Ci took the lead to walk to the bookshelf, standing on tiptoes to reach a certain book in the top row.
However, she is not tall enough, even if she stands on tiptoes, she cannot reach it.
Shen Zhiyan's eyes fell on her, his eyes darkening slightly.
Su Ci wore simple clothes today.
The upper body is a white T-shirt and the lower body is a light-colored jeans, simple yet energetic.
When she raised her arms, the hem of her T-shirt moved up, revealing a fair and slender waist.
The midday sun shines through, making her skin almost glow, making it dazzlingly white.
The waist is slender and soft, barely enough to hold in one's hand.
Su Ci was not tall enough and could not reach it no matter what, so she was going to get a chair to reach it.
However, before he could turn around, his back suddenly hit a warm wall.
The man's chest was hot. Su Ci's cheeks turned red and she slowly turned around, trying to avoid him.
However, the man's tall figure leaned over and placed one hand on the bookshelf. With the other hand, he had already taken away the book she wanted and enveloped her in it.
Su Ci wanted to retreat, but her back was pressed against the bookshelf.
The man lowered his eyes, and when he spoke, his warm breath sprayed on Su Ci's cheeks, causing her cheeks to heat up.
"Give it to me quickly."
Shen Zhiyan chuckled, looking straight at her with his deep eyes, a smile flashed across his eyes, "Want it?"
"think!"
Su Ci nodded heavily.
"Then how are you going to thank me?" Shen Zhiyan raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
That handsome face was one that people couldn't take their eyes away from. At this moment, the ice on his face seemed to have suddenly melted away, becoming a little less cold and a little more soft.
Even more heart-pounding.
Su Ci had no choice but to stand on tiptoes, raise her head, bring her lips to the corner of the man's lips and kiss him.
There is really nothing we can do against him.
The outside world said that Shen Zhiyan had a cold personality and kept away from strangers. Only Su Ci knew that this man liked to be jealous in front of her and was sometimes very clingy.
Shen Zhiyan's lips curled up slightly, and he turned his back on the guests. He grabbed the back of Su Ci's head and kissed her.
Su Ci's cheeks gradually began to turn red. When she felt out of breath, she reached out and pushed his chest.
"Don't make trouble, we don't have much time."
Shen Zhiyan reluctantly let go of Su Ci.
Su Ci directed Shen Zhiyan to take down all the books in the row above.
Shen Zhiyan did as he was told, and while Su Ci was reading, he sat beside her and stayed with her without saying a word.
Su Ci nodded with satisfaction and began to look for books attentively.
Until late at night, no useful medicinal materials were found.
Su Ci couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.
The medicinal materials needed to detoxify Shen Zhiyan are very expensive.
Price aside, there are several herbs that are hard to find.
Su Ci must find a suitable substitute, preferably medicinal materials that have similar effects and will not cause side effects when combined.
Shen Zhiyan saw that Su Ci was depressed and immediately hugged her into his arms, comforting her in a low voice: "Don't worry, we still have time. I believe that there is nothing we, Ci, can't do if we want to do it."
With Shen Zhiyan's encouragement, Su Ci's mood gradually calmed down.
She took a deep breath, tried to keep herself calm, and then continued to read down with all her strength.
Finally, Huangtian paid off.
Just when Su Ci wanted to give up for the second time, she finally found a book in a corner.
Su Ci's eyes lit up and she quickly showed Shen Zhiyan the medicinal materials recorded in the book, "Husband, I found it!"
Shen Zhiyan doesn't understand pharmacology and doesn't quite understand the connection between these drugs.
But seeing the charming smile on Su Ci's face, he couldn't help but laugh too.
He reached out his hand and gently rubbed the top of Su Ci's hair, "Well, Ci Bao is awesome."
Su Ci and Shen Zhiyan didn't rest all night.
When it got dark, they finally finished reading all the books.
"A good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
Shen Zhiyan chuckled, "What's the good news?"
Su Ci pursed her lips, and the small pear pit on her face was looming, "The good news is that there are six herbs in total, and I have found substitutes for five of them."
Although the efficacy of the medicine is worse than the original medicinal materials, it is still better than nothing.
"What's the bad news?"
"The bad news is that there are still some medicinal materials that are the most difficult to find, and there is no substitute for them."
These medicines are indispensable.
Shen Zhiyan was silent, and then comforted: "You did a good job, you have tried your best."
Su Ci pursed her lips slightly and lowered her eyes in disappointment.
Is there really no other way? It would be great if the master was here.
Shen Zhiyan leaned down, picked up Su Ci by the waist, and strode outside, "Let's rest for a while. I'll call you when I get home."
"Okay." Su Ci put her arms around Shen Zhiyan's neck, buried her face in his shoulder, and soon fell asleep.
When she woke up again, the car had already driven into Shen's house.
Before coming back, Qi Bin had already called Mr. Shen.
So, he stood outside the door early in the morning and waited.
Seeing the familiar car drive in, Mr. Shen immediately stepped forward with a cane.
"You are finally back? I heard that someone was following you yesterday? Have you found out who they are? Are you injured?"
Shen Zhiyan slowly shook his head, "Go in and talk."
Su Ci had already woken up and struggled to get out of Shen Zhiyan's arms.
After hearing the news, Shen Zhilin also came down from upstairs and sat on the sofa with them, chatting about recent events.
Mr. Shen looked gloomy and said coldly, "You dare to attack our Shen family's territory. You really don't take our Shen family seriously."
"Grandpa, don't be angry. It's not worth getting yourself so angry because of a few little minions." Su Ci sat next to Mr. Shen, reached out and patted his back, whispering comfort.
Shen Zhiyan also echoed: "Ci Bao is right, I will handle this matter, you can just stay at home with peace of mind."
"To put it lightly, you two are in dire straits, can I survive?" Mr. Shen glared at him angrily, his eyes full of disapproval.
"Second Master, Madam, please eat some fruit first to relieve the heat." At this time, the housekeeper suddenly came over, holding a tray in his hand.
There are washed fruits inside.
The butler leaned over and placed the tray on the coffee table.
Su Ci got up to go to the bathroom and accidentally bumped into him.
The tray in my hand was not steady, and suddenly two grapes jumped out of it and rolled under the sofa.
"Madam, I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" The housekeeper looked at Su Ci with an apologetic look.
Su Ci immediately waved her hands, "It's my fault."
As she spoke, she slowly knelt down and tried to pick up the grapes that had fallen into the cracks of the sofa.
The housekeeper was frightened by his actions and hurriedly said: "Ma'am, just leave this little thing to me. If it doesn't work, I'll pick it up later when I have someone clean the house."
"Butler, don't worry about trivial matters..."
Before she finished speaking, Su Ci's hand suddenly touched something, and her expression changed instantly.
Shen Zhiyan was the first to notice the change in her expression and asked doubtfully: "What's wrong?"
Su Ci frowned slightly and slowly took out her hand from under the sofa. There was a small black thing in her white palm.
