Chapter 55: Today Shen Yue, a Pawn

Chapter 55

Shen Yue remembered what Shen Yichen said, of course at this point she only remembered this sentence, and would have to experience more in reality before she could fully understand the meaning.

After saying this, Shen Yichen went back to looking at his phone. He seemed to be looking at his phone, but in fact, every time Shen Yue was about to fall asleep leaning on the car window, he would poke her awake.

Shen Yue was annoyed to death by the poking.

Finally she opened her eyes and sat up properly.

Shen Yichen was satisfied.

The two arrived at the office peacefully. Shen Yichen had Shen Yue sit on the sofa, and took a book of poetry from his bookshelf and handed it to Shen Yue, "Sit here and read, don't fall asleep."

Shen Yue looked bitterly aggrieved, but she was still afraid of her older brother, and didn't dare to resist, she could only accept the book and pretend to read it.

She seemed to be looking at the book, but in fact her eyes were going blank over the words on the page.

Shen Yichen sat at his desk, turned on his computer, and prepared to work. Suddenly, he looked up at Shen Yue and said, "Read the first poem on page three."

Shen Yue, who was spaced out: ......

She was forced to flip to page three and start reading.

"Reading books, spring has come without my noticing, an inch of time is an inch of gold. It's not a Taoist coming to make me laugh, I'm just pursuing my circumstances and thoughts."

Even though Shen Yue's language arts weren't very good, she could still understand what this meant.

Shen Yue was very obedient, she read a poem when told to read one, not a word more. She was a true toothpaste tube.

Shen Yichen started signing the various application forms submitted to him, "Keep reading."

Shen Yue: ......

She felt like a tape player, uncertain, she read again.

Shen Yue could only keep reading, until people started coming in and out of the office looking for Shen Yichen to get him to sign things, and only then did she get a chance to breathe.

Almost everyone who came in would glance at her first, then look away a second later, pretending to completely not see her, before starting to report to Shen Yichen.

Shen Yue hoped so much that these people could report a little slower, to let her rest a bit more, but she didn't know why, everyone was very concise, without a single extra word. They would report, get a signature, then leave immediately, not stopping at all.

After more and more coming and going, Shen Yue also noticed something. She asked, "Brother, why do they seem so afraid of you?"

Shen Yichen looked at the curious Shen Yue, and asked back, "Why are you afraid of me? That's why they're afraid of me."

"Because brother is very powerful."

Shen Yichen suddenly felt he had suffered a heavy blow, and didn't speak again.

Shen Yichen didn't say anything else unnecessary, and naturally took the gourd, only responding after a long pause, "Thank you."

Feeling that such a reaction was too ordinary, and worried that Shen Yue would think he didn't like it, he quickly added, "I really like it."

Hearing this, Shen Yue finally smiled, "I thought brother wouldn't like something like this."

She had just given it to try, and was prepared to bring it with her to prison to play with later if brother didn't accept it.

"I like everything you give me."

Shen Yue blinked. "Really?"

"Really."

So Shen Yue grabbed the leftover cookie crumbs she had eaten and held them out to Shen Yichen, "Do you like this too?!"

Shen Yichen: ......

Shen Yichen wanted to discipline her, but when he met Shen Yue's gaze, seemingly to confirm something, he swallowed his words back down.

"I like it."

While he said this, Shen Yichen still couldn't make himself eat the cookie crumbs someone else gave him. He just accepted them and placed the crumbs next to the lacquered gourd Shen Yue had given him.

After a while, Shen Yue also gave Shen Yichen a handful of mud, she didn't know where she had grabbed it from.

"Do you like it?!"

"I li...ke it."

After another while, it was a cup of water.

"Do you like it?!"

He could drink this, so Shen Yichen drank it.

"I like it."

After yet another while, it was a pillowcase, Shen Yichen's own.

"Do you like it?!"

"Shen Yue."

"Hm?"

"Open the poetry book I gave you to page five and read the second poem."

Today's Shen Yue service has ended.
