Chapter 256: They Embraced in Blood.
Chapter 256
Shen Yue stretched out her hand to poke the super large town treasure protector frog, which was three times her size. She turned to the two people behind her and said, "There's a big piece of gold here."
Shen Hui did not have much interest in gold. She calmly responded, "If you like gold, I'll buy some for you."
Shen Wu was also not originally interested in gold, but since his oldest brother had taken away his card, he couldn't help but think of some possibilities. For example, gold could be dissolved by aqua regia, and then the gold could be re-precipitated with copper. Gold equals money equals experimental materials. However, he quickly suppressed those dangerous thoughts.
He didn't want to write another self-criticism. If other people saw his self-criticism again next time, his reputation would be ruined.
Shen Yue didn't actually want the gold either. She just thought the frog was very conspicuous. Adding some small stuff to such a conspicuous golden frog would make it even more noticeable. It was simply the most suitable vessel.
Shen Yue quickly determined the easiest spot for someone to notice the giant money frog at first glance. Then she turned to answer Shen Hui, "No matter how good gold is, it can't compare to you."
Shen Hui was slightly stunned when she heard this. It felt like a breeze had gently brushed her heart. Before she could understand what that feeling was, the wind had already disappeared without a trace.
On the other hand, Shen Wu seemed to be reminded of some unpleasant memories by these words. He asked Shen Yue, "Have you been reading some preposterous romance novels with Fourth Brother recently?"
It was no wonder that Shen Wu could expose Shen Yue's true nature so quickly. Mainly because two days ago, Shen Jize had already said the same thing to him and told him the background of the novel when that line was said.
"After the male lead takes away the female lead's waist, the female lead uses the compensation money from the male lead to get plastic surgery and change her identity. She then returns to the male lead's side with the identity of Little White Flower to get close to him. Feeling pity for her, the male lead gives her gold. At this time, the female lead says 'no matter how good gold is, it can't compare to you!' This female lead is truly amazing, right Little Wu!"
The above was a reading reaction from a certain genius weapons researcher.
When Shen Yue heard Shen Wu's words, she looked over in slight surprise. "Shen Wu, you actually read it too?"
Shen Wu noticed that Shen Yue's form of address for him had changed from Fifth Brother back to Shen Wu. But he was used to it. Shen Yue would call him Fifth Brother when she needed a favor or knew she was in the wrong. Normally she would just call him Shen Wu.
He replied, "I don't read them. Fourth Brother just mentioned it casually the other day."
In the past, Shen Hui would not have been able to interject at times like this. But whether it was because she had argued with Shen Wu many times and successfully suppressed him, she seemed to have a natural sense of superiority over Shen Wu. She didn't hesitate at all to interrupt Shen Wu.
She walked directly to Shen Yue's right rear and pushed Shen Wu aside. She asked Shen Yue, "These past few days when you were by my side, you had a silly smile on your face. Was it because you were reading this? What exactly did it say?" Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com that time onwards, Si Chengyou gave up on conversing with Shen Hui. He was afraid of being swallowed up by her.
He was very weak. And it was precisely because of this weakness that he would be even more cautious when judging the situation before making a move. He didn't want to make the slightest mistake.
And now, Si Chengyou judged that this world's Shen Hui was different.
This Shen Hui could smile.
Although standing amidst the red, Shen Hui's expression was one of satisfaction and happiness.
Si Chengyou was lost in thought when it seemed Shen Yue noticed him.
Right then, Shen Wu came to make trouble. He grabbed Shen Hui by the collar and threw her off of Shen Yue. This freed up Shen Yue's hands and she waved at Si Chengyou.
Si Chengyou's expression froze slightly. Was she waving at him? Should he wave back?
Usually he would only wave when making inspections. Would waving now put pressure on the child? Or should he just smile?
Si Chengyou was about to squeeze out a smile when he heard Shen Yichen speak next to him. "They are very nice children, right?"
Si Chengyou looked over to see the usually graceful and refined Shen family head, who was normally modest and restrained in his speech and actions, currently waving vigorously at Shen Yue with his sleeves rolled up.
Noticing Si Chengyou's gaze, Shen Yichen explained, "The books say not to discourage children's enthusiasm. You should give timely positive feedback to their positive emotions."
So wave boldly it is.
"Mr. Si, relax more yourself. Smile more."
Si Chengyou clearly didn't expect Shen Yichen to see through him.
This time he really was stunned speechless.
