Chapter 229
After Shen Yichen left, the few people first looked at each other in blank dismay for a while, but soon accepted it.
Although the card was gone, Big Brother would surely not let them starve. At most, they would just be slightly more restricted when doing other things.
Only Shen Yue noticed the loophole.
Shen Hui's card had not been confiscated.
So Shen Yue sidled up to Shen Hui's side and unabashedly spoke up, "Support me."
As soon as the words fell, not only did Shen Hui look over strangely, but the other brothers also looked over, not knowing what Shen Yue was impulsively doing again.
Were she and Shen Hui already on such good terms?
The fact was of course not good.
So Shen Hui speechlessly glanced at Shen Yue and directly rejected, "Dream on."
Shen Yue was also not disappointed. She oh-ed and did not speak again.
In the next few days, things went as Shen Yichen had arranged, with the few brothers taking turns keeping watch at night. Soon it was Shen Yue's turn.
However, Shen Yue was not alone. Shen Yichen had arranged many bodyguards for Shen Yue and also told Shen Yue that if she was afraid, he would come to accompany her himself.
Naturally Shen Yue was not afraid. She actually could no longer feel the emotion of fear now. She subconsciously felt that no matter what, she could find a solution, so there was no need to be afraid.
At night, Shen Yue did not ask Shen Yichen to come over. Instead, Shen Hui came over herself.
Shen Yue did not think Shen Hui had gotten the time wrong. So she did not ask Shen Hui what she was doing here, only asking, "Did you tell them you went out?"
As expected, Shen Hui answered, "No."
Shen Hui had never taken the Shen family seriously in the first place, so she did not have the awareness to have to tell them when she went out.
After hearing this, Shen Yue took out her phone and sent Shen Yichen a text message before beckoning to Shen Hui, "Come sit down. What are you doing just standing there?"
Now, that inscrutable aura had returned to Shen Yue's body.
Shen Hui hesitated for a moment before finally walking over to sit next to Shen Yue.
After sitting down, the two did not speak for a long time, maintaining silence between them.
Finally, Shen Hui could not stand it and took the initiative to speak, "What exactly do you want to do?"
In front of the Shen brothers, Shen Yue always behaved especially harmless and naive. But Shen Hui knew that the real Shen Yue was not like this at all. Every sentence she spoke, every decision she made, had a purpose of hers rather than being a whim.
It was laughable that those brothers were played around by Shen Yue.
Shen Yue did not answer Shen Hui's question. She just looked at Shen Hui's clearly listless face and asked, "Do you want to lean on me and sleep for a while?"
Shen Hui did not answer, warily watching her.
Shen Yue said gently again, "You haven't slept for two days, right? It's your own body. Don't mess it up too much."
Shen Hui pursed her lips. Her mood suddenly became very complicated. "What's the point of you staying with the Shen family?"
Shen Yue thought about it. This question was quite good to answer. In fact, she had been thinking about this question these past few days and had figured it out now.
"I don't want the brothers to be sad. If I leave, they will be sad."
Shen Hui sneered. She clearly did not believe Shen Yue's words. "Aren't you overestimating yourself?"
Shen Yue ignored Shen Hui's sarcastic words and continued to explain to herself, "Big Brother shoulders the pressure of leading the whole family forward. Second Brother wants to get the family's attention. Third Brother doesn't know what he should do. He just goes along with other people's expectations. Fourth Brother is very afraid of pain and loves to cry, but no one understands him. Fifth Brother cannot understand other people's emotions."
As Shen Yue spoke, she looked at Shen Hui, "What I just said was before. What do you think they are like now?"
Shen Hui had already understood something, but she did not want to be led by Shen Yue. So she said, "All fools."
Shen Yue laughed out loud. "What's so bad about being a fool? Worrying about everything, seeing everything clearly, that's tiring. Being able to meet the right people and supporting each other as you move forward, isn't that good?"
"You...really are only 15?"
Shen Yue nodded. "Although I'm 15 too, I'm still your big sister. Call me big sister and let me hear it?"
Shen Hui rolled her eyes. She only felt Shen Yue was shameless, trying to take advantage of her. "No way."
But Shen Yue ignored her and directly reached out to put her arm around Shen Hui's shoulder to make her lie down on her lap. "You sleep for a while. If you feel embarrassed, just treat me to breakfast tomorrow."
As Shen Yue spoke, she rhythmically patted Shen Hui's back with one hand while softly humming a tune with her mouth.
Shen Hui struggled a little, but soon settled down.
Whether it was Shen Yue's scent, Shen Yue's body temperature, or the rhythm of her light patting, it made her feel very comfortable.
"What song are you humming?" Shen Hui asked as she lay on Shen Yue's lap.
Shen Yue paused for a moment. The corners of her mouth then curved up into a smile, and her whole facial expression softened too, but Shen Hui did not see it.
"It's Mussorgsky's song, a lullaby."
Shen Hui immediately scowled. "You're singing lullabies at the hospital?"
Shen Yue thought about it. "Then I'll sing it for you next time."
Shen Hui struggled again. She tossed and turned for a good while before finally lying down on Shen Yue's lap and falling asleep.
As Shen Yue patted Shen Hui on the back, she thought, Shen Hui's psychological defenses were not easy to break through. If Shen Hui hadn't not slept for 2 days now, and it was the middle of the night, she really wouldn't have been so easy to coax.
Hmm...take it slow. There was still time.
