As soon as she got back, she saw a red invitation card on the table.
"Late Night, this seems to be from the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association. It says they're inviting you. Take a look," said the old Master Shen while playing chess.
"Si Yan, come and play a few rounds with me," he added.
Shen Si Yan didn't move. His face looked a bit strange.
"Go on. Why aren't you going?" Shi Wan urged, not noticing his expression.
Shen Si Yan's eyes were complicated. He sat down opposite the old man.
"Not listening to your grandpa but listening to your wife. That's good," the old man said.
"Don't you know why?" Shen Si Yan asked.
The old man's face stiffened. He pouted and said, "Let's play chess."
Shi Wan read the invitation and decided to attend it later.
As soon as she got close to Shen Si Yan, he grabbed her hand, as if he was afraid she would run away.
Shi Wan didn't care at first. But later, seeing what the old man did, she wished she had never shown up.
How could he... take back his move?
Shi Wan's eyes were full of surprise. He didn't seem like this before. Maybe he just liked to take back his moves when playing with Shen Si Yan?
The old Master Shen was unaware of the changes in their minds. He was as happy as a child who had stolen something.
"No, I don't want to put it here," he frowned. "Can't you let me win?"
Shen Si Yan took back the chess piece. He was used to it.
He squeezed his wife's hand. It was much more fun than playing chess with the old man.
Shi Wan sat beside him. Finally, she couldn't stand it anymore. Just as she was about to get up and leave, the man pulled her back.
"Where are you going?"
"I... I'll just take a walk. You two keep playing," she said.
"Stay here with me," he said with a resentful look in his eyes, as if to say that if she hadn't asked him to sit down, he wouldn't have to play chess with the old man.
Shi Wan was embarrassed. She didn't know that the old man would be like this when playing with Shen Si Yan.
At first, she could watch. But in the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep on the man's shoulder.
"No, no. I..." the old man said.
Shen Si Yan hugged her in his arms. As soon as the old man's voice got louder, he immediately received a warning look from his grandson.
The old man closed his mouth resentfully and said softly, "I don't want to put it here."
Shen Si Yan looked away and carefully picked her up and left.
The old man had just made his move. He looked up proudly, but the people were gone.
"Really. Leaving without even telling me," he muttered.
As soon as Shen Si Yan put her on the bed, Shi Wan woke up.
He simply pressed himself on top of her. "Not sleeping anymore?"
"Not sleeping," she yawned. "Did grandpa become like this only when playing with you?"
The man absent - mindedly responded with a grunt. His eyes were fixed on a certain part of her.
Shi Wan: "..."
"Darling, remember to watch my eyes next time."
"Next time?" She stared at him. "Then what are you looking at now?"
"You can look now too," he said.
He leaned over, hooked his big hand around her waist, and gently flipped over.
He was under and she was on top.
"It looks better this way," he said.
Shi Wan: "..."
She didn't think so.
"You... stop looking!"
She covered her chest. Her face was so red that it seemed to drip blood.
"I listened to you just now and my spirit was hurt. Don't you want to compensate me?"
"...But he's your grandpa," Shi Wan grabbed his restless hand. "And how could I know that grandpa would be like this when playing with you?"
"But my spirit was really hurt," he said.
He tilted his head back, and with a force of his hand, he pulled her towards him.
It was as if she had offered herself up. He accurately captured her red lips.
After a while, Shi Wan lay on his chest, out of breath. "Your mental illness is cured."
"Hmm?"
"There's a saying. Since I got mental illness, my spirit has been much better," she said.
Shen Si Yan was stunned for a moment. He pressed her down, and there was an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"Where did you get such a strange theory?"
"From me," she said.
He buried his head in her shoulder socket and let out a low grunt.
"Ouch - don't bite."
He raised his head. "Why can't I bite? Does it hurt?"
"...It's itchy."
"It won't be itchy in a while," he said.
She wriggled her body, trying to get off. "I haven't taken a shower yet."
"Take a shower later," he said.
He hugged her, stopped her wriggling body, leaned over and kissed her, blocking the words she hadn't finished saying.
...
Shi Wan changed her clothes and asked someone to drive her to the address on the invitation.
In front of the club, there was a sign that said "Traditional Chinese Medicine Academic Exchange Conference".
Since Western medicine was introduced to China, traditional Chinese medicine had gradually been forgotten. In recent years, people had begun to pay more attention to it again.
With the invitation, Shi Wan easily got in. The waiter at the door was shocked to see a young girl.
After a careful look, he remembered that this was the famous "Cun Cun Jin" on the Internet.
He thought she only knew Western medicine. He didn't expect that she was actually invited to the traditional Chinese medicine academic exchange conference.
Shi Wan didn't notice his strange look. As soon as she entered, everyone's eyes were on her. But in just a few seconds, those people resumed their previous conversations.
Obviously, the person they were waiting for wasn't her.
Shi Wan didn't care. She quietly sat in her seat and waited for the conference to start.
But just because she didn't look for others didn't mean others wouldn't look for her.
Especially after the incident in City M became popular, she received praise, but at the same time, she also attracted a lot of jealousy.
"Aren't you the famous miracle doctor on the Internet? Why are you sitting here alone?" a middle - aged man mocked. "Kids should study hard in school. You're not even fully grown up and you're already trying to take food from the hands of your seniors?"
Shi Wan stood up. "Are you the organizer?"
The man was stunned. "No."
"Then whether I come or not has nothing to do with you," she said.
"You!" Liu Shi was so angry that he was speechless. "Just because you know a little traditional Chinese medicine, you really think you're a god? You're so arrogant at such a young age. I don't think you'll achieve anything in the future."
"At least my achievements now are beyond your reach," Shi Wan said.
Liu Shi was so angry that he was half - dead. But he couldn't do anything to her because she was right.
In the field of medicine, Cun Cun Jin's achievements were indeed much higher than his. But they focused on different directions. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine and age, she was a junior. Not only did she not respect her seniors, but she also retorted.
"Ungrateful!"
Liu Shi left angrily, leaving a few people looking at each other in dismay.
Should they leave too?
This little girl had such a sharp tongue. Seeing how Liu Shi had been treated, they didn't need to go up and ask for embarrassment.
No one paid attention to her. Shi Wan sat on one side, eating and enjoying her freedom.
Soon, a woman in her thirties sat beside her, holding a glass of wine.
She looked very arrogant. "You're Cun Cun Jin?"
"Yes. What's up?"
"Nothing. I just came to see what the legendary person looks like," the woman sneered. "But now it seems that you're just so - so. My master overestimated you."
Shi Wan didn't say a word and continued eating.
The woman continued, "You'd better be polite here. You can't afford to offend anyone here. Do you understand?"
Shi Wan slowly turned her gaze to her. "Got it. Next time someone comes, should I kneel down and kowtow a few times first, and then burn three incense sticks to show respect?"
"You!" The woman's face turned red with anger. "You're really ungrateful!"
