Chapter 149

In the evening, Yu Shu and Shen Youlin leaned over the desk, writing and doodling on paper, summing up their achievements of the day.

Yu Shu: "I got my sister to eat meat, I'll add one point for myself."

Shen Youlin snorted: "I got her to cook, I'll add one point."

"She rolled her eyes in the kitchen, one more point."

"She was called out by my singing, one more point."

Yu Shu disagreed: "But it was my idea, I should get a point too!"

"Okay, okay, you get a point. She said we were both the same, so we both get a point. Tsk, our scores are tied."

Yu Shu smiled meaningfully: "You'll be on top in the first half of the night, and I'll be on top in the second half."

"Are you sure you'll have the energy for the second half?" Shen Youlin's words carried a suggestive tone, smiling mischievously.

Yu Shu raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you try?"

"I'll try, I'll try!"

Shen Youfei rinsed her mouth with water after vomiting, raising her head to look at her pale reflection in the mirror, the person in the mirror staring back at her.

She hadn't eaten meat for over a decade, and today she broke that rule, leaving her stomach a little unsettled, and her mind unsettled too.

Yet the savory-sweet taste of meat still lingered on her lips, making her tongue crave for more.

The next morning, just as Shen Youfei finished her morning practice, Shen Youlin came over with two Tao robes, presenting them to Shen Youfei like treasures.

"Sister, look at this pure silk Tao robe, I had it made by the best clothing designer in our country. It's entirely handmade, every stitch sewn by veteran craftsmen with decades of experience. Our Chinese designers are amazing these days, not far behind those foreign designers. But when it comes to our ancestral heritage, those foreign designers don't know anything - we need our own homegrown designers to do it right."

As one night passed, Shen Youfei's tolerance increased, and she calmly brewed tea while allowing Shen Youlin to ramble on endlessly.

Shen Youlin immediately perked up, walking back two steps to stand in front of her, solemnly stating: "She couldn't get up, you know how much energy a couple's exercise burns? Of course you don't, you single dogs wouldn't understand."

"Pathetic." Jiang Han spat and walked away.

With two victories under his belt, Shen Youlin ate two extra large meat buns for breakfast.

After breakfast, Shen Youlin brought Yu Shu, who carried her study materials, to Shen Youfei's residence.

Shen Youfei copied sutras, Yu Shu took notes from an online course on her tablet, while Shen Youlin and Jiang Han played with ants in the courtyard. Their game somehow led to another argument, and they decided to go to the mountain behind to have a fishing contest.

Before leaving, Shen Youlin pointed to his cheek: "Darling, give me a Lucky Kiss~"

Yu Shu grabbed his head and planted a loud smacking kiss on his lips.

Jiang Han spat: "Gross couple!"

"Oh my, this single dog is reeking of sourness, maybe we should skin and fry her!"

"Skin me?" Jiang Han rolled up her sleeves, "I'll knock your teeth out!"

"Bring it on, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Put your phone down, or are you going to call your bodyguards?"

The two bickered and roughhoused as they left, finally leaving the small courtyard in its usual tranquility. Shen Youfei sighed - it was never easy.

With the quiet, it almost became too quiet. Shen Youfei glanced at Yu Shu, who was diligently attending her online class with headphones on, her heart softening as she smiled and continued copying the sutras.

With Yu Shu's buff, Shen Youlin returned triumphant, bringing back two baskets full of fish, two wild chickens, and a wild rabbit. He excitedly showed Shen Youfei their haul, chattering non-stop.

This scene made Shen Youfei feel a momentary sense of déjà vu, as if Shen Youlin and Jiang Han were still children, and she looked towards the entrance, seeing the leisurely figure of Yan Xingnan following the two kids back.

"Fei Fei..."
