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?"

When Shen Yue heard this, she stopped dissatisfiedly. She circled around behind Shen Hui, pressed her head against her back, and pushed her as she walked. "I wasn't smiling sillily. I was thinking."

Shen Hui pulled Shen Yue out from behind herself and reached out to tidy Shen Yue's messy hair that had just been rumpled. "Thinking about what?"

"Like how many years someone would be sentenced if dominance and destruction romance literature was applied in real life. This can help me better understand China's criminal law. And I also need to remind Big Brother not to follow in the footsteps of those silly dominant men."

When Shen Hui heard Shen Yue's words, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved up into a smile.

At this moment, the setting sun had become an even deeper red, hanging on the edge between the roof and the sky. Its radiance was restrained as it became gentler, yet it was also more compelling.

Si Chengyou and Shen Yichen walked out of the house and saw the two girls standing on the stone path in the garden. Their shadows were elongated as they spilled onto their surroundings, but the two of them were shrouded in a hazy glow.

They seemed to be saying something. Shen Yue even gestured with her hands, but after gesturing for less than two times, she was grabbed by Shen Hui. Shen Yue struggled for a bit before leaning directly against Shen Hui. In order not to let Shen Yue fall, Shen Hui could only reach out and put her arm around Shen Yue's waist. f𝗿e𝗲𝘄𝗲bn𝐨𝚟𝚎l.com

With her hands freed, Shen Yue also hugged Shen Hui's back.

The sun was like blood. This shade of red erupted thoroughly amidst the twilight, dyeing the entire horizon and clouds.

The two girls embraced each other amidst the red, but they were smiling.

That Shen Hui could actually smile too.

Si Chengyou stared at the scene before him, somewhat lost in thought.

He didn't actually want to kill Shen Hui at first. He always believed that human nature was inherently good. If Shen Hui insisted on doing something as destructive as this, there must be a reason. As long as he found this reason, perhaps he could resolve the issue.

But no matter how he tried to communicate with Shen Hui, she remained tight-lipped with lifelessness always present in her eyes.

Si Chengyou still remembered that after his efforts, the first sentence Shen Hui said to him was, "You should have died long ago."

Although it was just a short sentence, it instantly filled Si Chengyou's heart with terror.

From 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.
