The lights are on and the capital city is exceptionally lively tonight.

The streets were bustling with people, and the bright lights were like the bright moon and stars in the sky, shining brightly.

A carriage slowly stopped on the busy street, and the servants outside hurriedly put the footstool in place.

A maid in blue helped Shen Nian, who was wearing a light pink skirt, down from the carriage.

Shen Nian was shocked by the sea of ​​lanterns in front of him. It was too beautiful and shocking.

"Miss, this is your first time to come to the Lantern Festival. Let me take you around."

Seeing that her eyes were full of curiosity, Qinglian wanted to take her to see various parts of the lantern festival.

Shen Nian waved his hands repeatedly, "No need, it's not easy to come out today, you should go and meet up with your family and friends. I can go shopping alone."

Qinglian's eyes lit up. Although she was a maid, she still had her own family and friends. Today, her family invited her to join the Lantern Festival.

But when the master ordered her to accompany Miss Shen to the party, she thought she couldn't go, but she didn't expect Miss Shen to be so considerate.

"Thank you, Miss. You have secret guards protecting you. The carriage will not move here. You can just go back the same way after you have some fun."

Qinglian gave Shen Nian a few instructions and then left to look for her relatives.

Shen Nian ran from one lantern stall to another, solving any lantern riddles she saw that were interesting and that she happened to know how to solve.

After a while, she had four glass lamps in her hands.

This lantern festival is really interesting. She heard people in the crowd say that there would be a fireworks show ahead. She followed the crowd and walked forward. She had never seen a fireworks show like in ancient times.

The performance takes place on the famous Yingsi River in the capital. Legend has it that the river was named after the late queen.

The Yingsi River is filled with pleasure boats belonging to various large families, and there are also restaurants that offer pleasure boats for rent.

Shen Nian had negotiated the price of a private room with one of the boat owners and was about to board the boat when he was suddenly pulled into the arms by a hand.

He was so frightened that he didn't even care about the lamp in his hand, and it fell to the ground with a thud.

Shen Nian's nose was filled with the scent of green bamboo mixed with blood, which was strangely pleasant.

Shen Nian was trying to break free from the man's embrace, but he heard the man say, "It's me, don't move. I'm injured and can't stand steadily. Let me lean on you for a while."

It was Shen Yuan. He was actually injured, and it seemed that the injury was not light. Shen Nian did not move but obediently let Shen Yuan hold her in his arms.

Shen Yuan hugged Shen Nian, who was as docile as a rabbit. The pain seemed to disappear in an instant, leaving only the warmth in his arms.

"Uncle, are you injured? Let's find a clinic to bandage it." Shen Nian said with concern.

Shen Yuan couldn't even stand steadily, which showed how serious his injuries were.

If she delays any longer and rescue efforts fail, the target of the mission will die. What's the point of her still doing this mission?

She actually cared about him so much. Shen Yuan couldn't help but curl his lips and looked at Shen Nian with increasingly gentle eyes.

"I have medicine on me. The assassin must be looking for me in all the clinics in the city. If I can't go to the clinic, take me to the private room in the houseboat you just rented to apply the medicine."

Upon hearing this, Shen Nian immediately helped him into the private room of the houseboat she had just rented.

Shen Nian closed the window facing the fireworks show on the lake and lowered the curtain as a precaution.

When he turned around, he saw that Shen Yuan had taken off his robe, revealing his left shoulder with a big hole in it.

Blood was still oozing out of the wound, which looked extremely scary.

"Come here and help me apply the medicine." Shen Yuan called Shen Nian over in a gentle voice.

Shen Nian quickly stepped forward, took the medicine bottle from Shen Yuan's hand, and applied the medicine to him tremblingly.

Shen Nian had never applied medicine to anyone before. His technique was a little unfamiliar, and he accidentally pressed his hand on Shen Yuan's shoulder.

Shen Yuan couldn't help but hissed

"I'm sorry, uncle. I didn't mean it." Shen Nian apologized with some guilt.

"It's okay." The dim light in the private room reflected on his face with some beads of sweat.

There is no blame, only unbreakable tenderness.

Under Shen Yuan's guidance, Shen Nian finally bandaged his wound.

Shen Yuan tried to lift up the robe that had been pulled down to his waist with his left hand and put it on, but he tried several times in vain.

Seeing this, Shen Nian suppressed her embarrassment and went over to help him put on his robe.

The girl's cheeks were flushed, as gentle and beautiful as the sunset, and her deer eyes were fixed on the clothes in front of her. She didn't dare to look around.

Shen Yuan's eyes were filled with lust and he couldn't help but raise his hand to tuck a strand of Shen Nian's hair that was hanging in front of her behind her ear.

His fingers rubbed the white jade earlobe intentionally or unintentionally.

Shen Nian took a step back in shock. Shen Yuan suppressed the lust in his eyes, got up and lay down on the soft couch in the private room for guests to rest.

"I'll take a rest for a while. When the people who come to pick us up come, we'll go back home together." After saying that, he closed his eyes.

Don't rush it or it'll scare her.

Shen Nian nodded in a daze.

{Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the task ahead of schedule and raising Shen Yuan's favorability to 80%. The host is rewarded with a soul-entering pill (which can help you get pregnant quickly after sex). Please keep up the good work!}

No way! Shen Nian looked at the handsome man lying on the couch with his eyes closed.

It's hard to tell that he has such a high degree of favorability towards me.
