Chapter 35

Shen Shuangyi was fiddling with the little trinket in his hand, holding it up before his eyes.

The coloring of the gourd was quite good, and it did look very pretty under the sunlight. On an ordinary day, he would never buy this kind of object, preferring practical things over decorative ones.

But when Shen Yue had walked up to him holding this little gourd, he had unconsciously stretched out his hand, and felt a happiness he could not control welling up because Shen Yue had remembered him.

These feelings came out of nowhere. At first, when Shen Yue had shared food with him, there was no ripple in his heart. So why did he feel so happy now over a little painted gourd?

Shen Shuangyi vaguely remembered having this kind of emotion only when he received praise from his big brother.

In other words, his big brother's praise was equal in value to Shen Yue's gift of this gourd?

His big brother was equal to Shen Yue?

How was this possible!

Shen Shuangyi stared at the gourd, still warm from Shen Yue's touch, falling deep in thought.

Fortunately, Shen Yue did not care about Shen Shuangyi's reaction. She had only given him the gourd to bribe her second brother into not interfering in her business again.

Shen Yue felt she had discovered that her second brother had a forced sense of care for her, probably because her big brother had instructed him to do so.

In her memories, her second brother had always been like this, listening to no one, and especially hating their parents meddling with him, yet he was always very obedient in front of his big brother.

But when she thought about it carefully, all the Shen children listened to their big brother.

Jiang Shiwen was very excited when he received the gourd. He hurried up to Shen Yue and shouted loudly, "Sister Yue, don't say anything else! Other than my sister, you're now my one and only sister!"

Shen Yue: ?

Do you even hear what you're saying? Is it still not too late to take back the gift?

Shen Yue felt Jiang Shiwen did not seem very smart, but she did not say it out loud. She would wait for him to realize it himself.

Zou Xuerong was always more shy when she was outside. She was only relaxed when it was just the two of them, Shen Yue and her, at night.

When Zou Xuerong took the gourd, she only softly said "Thank you," not even daring to admire it closely before putting the painted gourd into her arms.

Shen Yue put the remaining two gourds into her own pocket and continued looking around.

This time she did not buy anything else. But when the shop owner told her about the history and production techniques of these intangible cultural heritage items, she listened with great interest.

The few of them wandered the market for the whole morning. At lunch, Shen Shuangyi used the money he had painstakingly earned yesterday to buy each child a bowl of clear noodle soup.

Jiang Shiwen and Zou Xuerong did not pick at their food. Free food was free food, and this clear noodle soup was definitely tastier than the zero-sugar oat congee provided by the program team. Only Shen Yue looked at her noodles, then looked at Shen Shuangyi, silently hinting at something.

Shen Shuangyi put down his chopsticks under Shen Yue's gaze. He could only order a side of minced meat to put a bit into each person's bowl, with a look in his eyes that was undoubtedly one of heartache after spending a fortune.

【I'm heartbroken for one second after witnessing how Brother Shen earned money yesterday.】

【Sister Yue's gaze attacks! Stab stab stab!】

【Why do I feel like the vibe of these few people is completely different from those other people?】

【The others: emo, These people: Eat less.】

In the end, Shen Yue finished all her noodles cleanly, not leaving a single drop of soup behind. Don't ask, she was just hungry.

So after eating her fill, what should she do next? Take a nap, of course.

Thus, Shen Yue rejected Shen Shuangyi's suggestion to bring her along to earn money again, and headed straight back.

In the end, Jiang Shiwen and Zou Xuerong were soft-hearted. They followed Shen Shuangyi to learn survival skills.

It was only through this day that they realized Shen Shuangyi, despite his hurtful way of speaking, was truly very smart.

The words he said never made people feel like there was anything wrong with him. Rather, it was the person he scolded who had the problem.

While learning Shen Shuangyi's money-earning techniques, Zou Xuerong also made a firm resolution in her heart.

She had to earn money properly, so that when Yue Yue had no choice but to come out and complete tasks or earn money before she could get food, Zou Xuerong could buy things for her!

Jiang Shiwen was also trying his best to learn.

He had realized that this little girl Shen Yue was resistant to coaxing, but she could easily be manipulated with food!

"Brother Shen, I saw that you seem to be very good at cooking too."

"I know a little."

"Brother Shen, teach me!! I'm willing to contribute all of today's earnings!" As long as he learned how to cook, when Shen Yue used up her 6 requests and had to complete tasks herself, had to cook for herself, that would be the perfect opportunity to get Shen Yue's attention!

To manipulate Shen Yue, first manipulate her stomach! Once he became Shen Yue's head chef, he didn't believe she still wouldn't teach him to defuse bombs!

"Brother Wen, don't go! My stomach can no longer live without you. I'll teach you to defuse bombs, you just keep cooking for me, okay?"

(Note: The above events will never happen)

Although he had not started learning to cook yet, Jiang Shiwen seemed to already see a beautiful future belonging to himself.

Shen Shuangyi was about to refuse, but upon hearing Jiang Shiwen would give him money, he swallowed his words back down. "Deal."

Having had all his cards confiscated by the program team, he desperately needed money now.

Without money, he could not buy food. Without food, he could not coax Shen Yue out for a walk. If Shen Yue did not go out for a walk, the task given by his big brother could not be completed. If the task was not completed, his big brother would be disappointed in him.

This was absolutely unacceptable!

He needed... money! Driven by a common goal, the three of them worked hard for an entire day.

Shen Yue, on the other hand, was too lazy to even walk.

As she walked back alone, without the motivation of eating to sustain her, she felt tired after only a short while. Without any hesitation, Shen Yue immediately summoned her butler, using up one of her chances to call for a car.

She wanted a car, the most comfortable car!

Up to this point, she had already used up five of her six requests - three to eat, one to buy things, and one to call for a car.

The bullet screen comments were all counting for her, feeling that Sister Yue was too wasteful. But this was indeed something she would do.

Since the requests could be used to eat, why couldn't they be used to lie down?

Since the car could be used to sit, why couldn't it be used to lie down?

As Shen Yue contemplated this, she slowly lay down on the back seat.

The netizens immediately took screenshots and turned it into an emoji, and a mysterious new trend began spreading online.

Shen Yue had a dream where the head prisoner sister suddenly turned into a man and whispered sexily into her ear in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid, and don't look back."

Then Shen Yue woke up, frightened.

She woke up just in time, as the car had just arrived.

As Shen Yue got out of the car, ready to continue lying comfortably in her own bed, she was stopped by Dong Nuo.

Dong Nuo's face was a little red, and he did not dare to look at Shen Yue either. He hemmed and hawed for a long time without managing to get a complete sentence out. Just as Shen Yue was about to walk around him and leave, Dong Nuo finally blurted out what he wanted to say. "Shen Yue, I'm sorry. I misunderstood you in the past, and treated you in that way. I'm really very sorry!"

Dong Nuo lowered his head and bowed to Shen Yue to show his sincerity. He kept his gaze on the ground, not daring to imagine Shen Yue's expression.

Then Dong Nuo saw as Shen Yue simply walked away.

Simply walked away.

Shen Yue did not hate Dong Nuo, but she did not like him either. Who would like someone who doubted you as soon as they entered the show? She wasn't some saint who had to kowtow three times whenever she saw someone.

The only reason she had helped Dong Nuo was for an experiment. Now the experimental results were out.

Without a doubt, the head prisoner sister was right.

At the same time, it proved that she could now correctly discern different types of people. As expected of herself!

Very good, she should reward herself with a leisurely lie-down day!

Shen Yue pushed open her door. At this time, hearing the noise, Zou Xuezheng also popped out, pretending to be flustered as she yelled at Shen Yue, "Yue Yue, I heard you were tricked by bad boys at school. Is that true? You can't keep this kind of thing to yourself, you have to tell the adults!"

Shen Yue: ?

None of your business.

Before Zou Xuezheng could get close, Shen Yue closed her room door.

And commented: What a psycho.
