Chapter 15
However, Shen Yue put down the tissue she was using to wipe her mouth and swallowed the sea cucumber that was probably full of Shen Shuangyi's love.
She would be spending the next few days with her second brother. She hoped that he would let her be because of this meal she just had.
Yes, this was Shen Yue's selfish wish!
She was bribing Shen Shuangyi to turn a blind eye when she took a nice long nap.
After Shen Yue finished wiping her mouth, indicating that she was done with her meal, Shen Shuangyi sitting across from her was also done.
There were still three dishes on the table that hadn't been touched - braised rabbit, shredded pork with peppers, and pickled cabbage.
Shen Yue didn't notice the rabbit meat earlier but now that she saw it, she was too full to eat anymore. She didn't get a chance to eat the shredded pork with peppers. As for the pickled cabbage, Shen Yue didn't like eating vegetables and Shen Shuangyi didn't like sour food.
Thinking of Jiang Shiwen who had helped her twice earlier, Shen Yue carried the rabbit in one hand and the shredded pork in the other as she went outside.
The yard, which had been clean earlier, was now full of messily peeled fruit and vegetable skins and scattered flour on the ground.
Shen Yue paid no attention to these as she swiftly approached Jiang Shiwen, who was frowning while peeling potatoes in the corner. She held out the dishes in her hands.
Seeing the food appear in front of him, Jiang Shiwen was surprised and uncertainly asked, "This is for me?"
Shen Yue didn't say anything but moved the dishes closer to him.
Jiang Shiwen understood Shen Yue's meaning and didn't stand on ceremony. He directly accepted the food and said, "Thanks."
Shen Yue went back again to get the pickled cabbage and also gave it to Jiang Shiwen.
Jiang Shiwen, basking in this sudden blessing, did not feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he suddenly shouted loudly at the others who were still struggling with dinner, "Wow, all this delicious food is for me? Really all for me? Just for me alone?!"
Shen Yue looked at Jiang Shiwen's antics expressionlessly and left without responding.
【Hahahaha, I don't know why but I can see disdain in Shen Yue's eyes!】
【Shen Yue: Regretting giving him that food.】
【Shen Yue: What's with the fuss?】
【Laughing to death, how funny! I ship this couple!】
【What's there to ship? The showrunners above are the real deal.】
【What can I say, if I can't find a partner myself I just love watching the kids get together!】
The bullet screen chat blew up again into a mess. Carrying the dishes and the mashed potatoes he made himself, Jiang Shiwen strode arrogantly to the dining room to enjoy his solo feast. Shen Yue returned to the room she had chosen earlier, took out her luggage, pulled out a pillow, threw it on the kang bed that looked like a heated brick bed, and lay down.
Shen Yue, who should have been very comfortable, actually felt that something was off with her whole body after lying down. She thought about it for a long time before realizing that the hardness of this kang was comparable to the beds in prison.
There's no way she could fall asleep on this. Was she checking into jail early?
She had to figure out a way to soften up the bed, otherwise she would be wasting away here today.
After overcoming the obstacle of dinner, Master Shen Yue was now faced with her second problem - the bed was too hard and she couldn't fall asleep.
No, the bed being too hard was a minor issue. The main problem was that the hardness of this bed was too similar to that of a prison bed. She had to find a way to adjust it even just a little softer.
Purchasing something was definitely out of the question. Not only were they restricted by the show's production team, she didn't even bring money with her.
However, their current location was a village built on the mountainside far from the city. While it was inconvenient, it also provided conveniences.
For example, there were many animals around.
The most feasible idea Shen Yue could come up with now was to collect fur from animal bodies to use as a mattress topper.
The freshly collected fur was a little dirty and needed washing. After washing, she could use the cooking pot to dry it directly. The dried fur could then be used as a topper.
After planning it out, Shen Yue got up directly from the bed.
Because of her actions earlier to try sleeping, most people had gone to watch the cooking area and no one was paying attention to her.
By the time she was noticed by a viewer who happened to click on her screen, she had already plucked fur off several dogs.
【What is she doing?】
【I don't know, but just now a dog passed by her and lost a coat of fur on the ground.】
Right after the bullet screen comments, Shen Yue had already discarded the dog in her hands and nimbly grabbed another passing tabby cat, starting to pluck its fur.
【Now even the passing cat didn't escape.】
【Isn't she scared? There's a big risk if these cats and dogs haven't had their vaccinations.】
【Does she look scared to you?】
【To tell the truth, those dogs are as cowardly as dogs in front of Shen Yue.】
【Listening to you feels like listening to a story.】
Shen Yue calmly plucked fur. She was not actually afraid of dogs and also knew what actions could quickly pacify an aggressive dog, allowing her to do as she wished.
Her memories contained a segment where she had swayed the ferocious pet dog of the opposing side, and then... won its blanket.
Sigh, memory is a cycle.
After Shen Yue finished plucking most of the fur, she finally hugged the large bundle of fur back into the courtyard residence.
It seemed like everyone had finished eating by now as there was no one at the cooking stove in front. It was very convenient for Shen Yue.
She directly threw the fur into the pot, fetched some water from the well and also threw in some bean pods she picked up next to the yard, and started stirring.
After stirring for a while when the water started boiling, the dirt in the dog fur also floated up.
Shen Yue repeated this washing process two more times according to this method until the fur was basically clean before starting to dry it with the stove.
The waiting time was rather long. Shen Yue was patient but the audience started chatting again while waiting.
【That's the cooking pot! After being handled by her like this, how can it still be used? She's really selfish!】
【If you have the problem of not liking to interact with others, you would do things this way, only considering yourself and not others.】
【Am I the only one curious what she's going to use the dog fur for?】
【No matter what she's going to do, her current behavior is wrong. She's completely disregarding others' feelings.】
【Could you stop shouting? Reserve judgement without full context.】
When the fur was almost dry, Shen Yue started to carry it to her room.
Lifting the top sheet, she evenly spread the dried dog fur below! Done!
Shen Yue lay on it to test it out. It did feel much better already and didn't feel like a prison anymore. She could sleep now!
Before fully closing her eyes, Shen Yue remembered there was still something she hadn't done.
So she got up again, found a piece of paper from the production team, and used the pen they gave to write on it: "I used the pot to boil dog fur, don't use it. I'll get you a new one tomorrow - Shen Yue"
Shen Yue placed the note inside the pot, ensuring anyone who wanted to use it would see it.
After doing all this, Shen Yue contentedly went back to sleep.
The camera operator who had witnessed everything Shen Yue did let out an exclamation, "She's awesome!"
The bullet screen also exploded.
【So everything Boss Shen Yue did earlier was to make herself more comfortable to sleep?】
【Aren't those who called her selfish ready to eat their words? She not only considered others but also said she'd replace the pot and left her name! Who else dares to call her selfish!】
【Being able to do this much at 12 shows the emphasis placed on responsibility in Shen Yue's upbringing.】
【How did she come up with using dog fur as a topper?】
【Was it necessary? Can't she just sleep as is? Pretentious.】
【I heard someone's plucking dog fur. Dog lovers have come to observe.】
【You're late. She already finished plucking.】
【Personally think grass would've been better than dog fur.】
With all the conflicts happening on the livestream, this reality show "Striving Barbarously in Rome" became a trending topic within half a day of airing.
Especially Shen Yue's move - "Dogs passing by all cried" - which attracted many dog lovers to come observe.
Learning Shen Yue's techniques, they extended their evil hands towards passing beloved dogs.
As long as I want to pluck all your loose fur until you're bald, you won't keep shedding everywhere.
Come here~ darling~
Meanwhile, Shen Yue, who had successfully obtained clean fur, was still suffering. It's still so hard. Oww.
She wasted a whole day.
