Chapter 225
Shen Hui felt the warmth coming from her head and tilted her head to dodge Shen Yue's attack of touching her head.
"Don't touch my head, it'll prevent me from growing taller." Shen Hui rarely said childish words, which reminded Shen Yue that both her and Shen Hui were only 15 years old now. Findd new stories at novelhall.com
She walked back to the bedside and lifted the quilt, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Shen Hui turned her head away and got up to leave, "Who wants to sleep with you."
Just as Shen Hui was about to touch the doorknob, she heard Shen Yue's faint voice behind her, "Can't you not sleep well by yourself?"
Shen Hui immediately stopped her movements. She turned around to look at Shen Yue with a very dangerous look in her eyes, "You..."
Before Shen Hui could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Shen Yue, "You look haggard. I guess you haven't been sleeping well these days.
You unconsciously glanced at the bed three times before looking away just now. I guessed that you should be tired and there was no situation of being used to the bed.
Eliminating being tired and being used to the bed, not being able to sleep can only be left with psychological reasons. According to the information given by brother, I guessed that you were afraid to sleep alone, so I asked. Judging from your reaction, I guessed right."
The sudden long speech left Shen Hui stunned. After a while, she finally spoke up, "Are you analyzing me?"
"...I'm sorry, it's a habit. If you find it annoying, I'll restrain myself a bit in the future." Shen Yue seemed to really feel embarrassed. Her head was slightly lowered, her expression unseen, as she lifted the quilt and beckoned to Shen Hui, "Let's sleep together."
But Shen Hui suddenly laughed, "Is this how you schemed against those brothers?"
Shen Yue's movements stilled slightly, but soon returned to normal. "It's not scheming, it's exchanging sincerity with sincerity."
Shen Hui curled her lips. Her feet finally changed direction and walked towards Shen Yue's side. "What exchanging sincerity with sincerity. The traces of being molded on them are too obvious. It was you who did it, right?"
Shen Yue didn't deny it. She only said, "People are not creatures that remain unchanged forever. When they meet someone they want to protect, they will spontaneously make themselves stronger to guard the one they want to protect."
While speaking, Shen Yue had tucked Shen Hui in with the quilt. Shen Hui awkwardly looked away.
"So you just made yourself the one they wanted to protect?" Shen Hui looked at Shen Yue and asked.
"Who you want to protect is your own choice, just like now I want to protect you."
Shen Hui didn't speak again.
Shen Yue directly turned off the lights and lay down next to Shen Hui.
After some unknown time, amidst the darkness, Shen Hui suddenly asked, "Why do you want to protect me?"
Shen Yue didn't answer, seeming to have fallen asleep already.
To establish trust between her and Shen Hui now, she couldn't solely rely on herself to say things and to contribute. She had to make Shen Hui feel needed too.
Ah, so tiring.
She had almost exposed her abnormalities before Shen Hui earlier.
Shen Yue had no doubt that if she was discovered to be abnormal by Shen Hui now, she would definitely die on the spot.
That was exactly why she had always been afraid to be in contact with Shen Hui.
The Shen Hui in her memories was indeed very kind to her, but that was under the condition that Shen Yue and her were of the same kind and Shen Yue was clearly weaker. Then Shen Hui would protect "Shen Yue".
Just like what she answered Shen Hui on why she would protect her. Shen Hui had said similar things to herself in her memories. That was how the two's beginning started.
But now, she was protected by the brothers. The one truly alone was only Shen Hui herself. In such a situation, it was unlikely that Shen Hui would initiate closeness.
That was why Shen Hui's parents were needed.
She had to make Shen Hui realize the true circumstances of the Shen family through her parents. Then use the interactions between her and several brothers to attract Shen Hui's attention. Only the judgement made by Shen Hui as an individual would prevent her from becoming suspicious.
Calculating based on the timeline of her memories, Shen Hui now should already be proficient in using the spacetime medium.
However, unlike Si Chengyou and herself, Shen Hui's memory transfer only targeted specific points.
For example, when Shen Hui suffered an assassination attempt with a knife to her stomach, she would immediately commit suicide to transmit that memory segment of her being stabbed back 10 minutes to avoid the danger to her stomach.
Only transferring specific partial memories, to Shen Hui, was like foretelling the future.
And precisely because of this, no matter how many memory transfers, Shen Hui would always be just Shen Hui.
...
At night, Shen Yue had a dream where she was entangled by snakes, which coiled tighter and tighter.
In the dream, Shen Yue struggled hard until she finally opened her eyes!
Then she saw Shen Hui now completely lying on top of her.
Shen Yue was confused for half a minute before finally recalling that Shen Hui didn't sleep very well - she was extremely restless!
She had let her guard down last night and hadn't dodged.
