Chapter 5
Shen Yue finally got into the car to go home, just as she had wished. However, unlike what she had expected, Shen Yichen had also come along.
Shen Yue had never thought that Shen Yichen would show up here. In her impression, Shen Yichen cared about nothing but his work, and never had a kind expression when seeing his younger siblings. So she had always felt that Shen Yichen disliked her, even hated her.
However, it was a fact that Shen Yichen had helped her today.
"How long has this been going on?" After wrapping Shen Yue in a blanket, Shen Yichen sat next to Shen Yue and asked lightly.
Shen Yue pursed her lips. She knew she couldn't fool the worldly-wise Shen Yichen with her own capabilities. So she answered honestly, "Just today."
What Shen Yue said was the truth. But she looked too miserable now, which undeservedly reduced the credibility of her words.
Compared to what Shen Yue said, Shen Yichen was more willing to believe that Shen Yue was threatened to not tell the truth.
Thinking of this possibility, Shen Yichen felt a little distressed, but even more furious.
No matter what, Shen Yue was a daughter of the Shen family. How could she be bullied into this state? What were those two people at home teaching her to shape Shen Yue's personality like this?
Recalling Shen Yue's usual frightened look when seeing him, Shen Yichen suddenly felt that it was actually long before today that signs of Shen Yue suffering like this had appeared. It was just that none of their family members had noticed.
"Did you fight back?"
Shen Yue's whole body shook. The inevitable had arrived.
From the moment she started the fight, she knew the incident of her beating people would definitely be discovered. It was just a matter of time. She just hoped she could lie down a little longer before it was found out.
But now that Shen Yichen had asked, she could only answer honestly.
In the Shen family, taking the initiative to admit mistakes was always punished less severely than forced confessions after being caught. What's more, in her memory, Shen Yichen could always accurately see through whether she was lying.
After weighing her options, Shen Yue obediently replied, "I beat them all up."
Upon hearing this, Shen Yichen's mouth slightly curved up, but soon disappeared. He just said lightly, "Well done. Children of the Shen family don't bully others, but they can't be bullied by others either."
"Thank you, big brother." Shen Yue could feel that Shen Yichen was sincerely teaching her. Plus, his previous act of defending her was extremely gratifying. Even though she knew she wasn't a real rich daughter, she was still genuinely grateful to this big brother who was protecting her now.
"Big brother is really amazing."
Shen Yichen had originally regretted impulsively abandoning his work and rushing over. But after hearing this, he suddenly felt an unprecedented feeling in his heart. This was also the first time he realized so clearly that he also had the identity of a big brother.
But he still had doubts.
Why did this little sister, who used to be afraid of him and never got close to him, change her attitude? Had someone taught her something?
"Who taught you to say these things?"
Seeing Shen Yichen look at her inquisitively, Shen Yue wondered if she had flattered too much.
In prison, having a glib tongue was very important.
Saying nice things to others cost her nothing, but could make the other person feel comfortable and willing to lower their guard.
She remembered someone had taught her, "Charm is very ethereal, but put simply, it means making everyone like you. Shen Yue, you handle things too rigidly. Even when you tell the truth, few people are willing to believe you. You should start by learning to compliment others."
So afterwards, Shen Yue first learned to compliment awkwardly. Then she naturally praised people. Finally, she unconsciously revealed sincerity.
What Shen Yue had just displayed was sincerity. She knew that no amount of lies would escape Shen Yichen's detection. For this big brother, sincerity was enough.
She wanted to package her true feeling of just wanting to sleep instead of going to school, and convey it to big brother in a real way!
"Someone told me that emotions don't directly transmit between people. If I don't express it myself, few will be able to guess my true thoughts. Big brother, I think you are the most amazing, and I really want to thank you, but I never said it before. I feel that was wrong! So I want to say it now!"
This was the first time Shen Yichen had felt such a positive emotion about him transmitted from Shen Yue. He was so shocked that he forgot to investigate who exactly was the one who told Shen Yue those things.
Facing Shen Yue, Shen Yichen was unusually embarrassed for once, unwilling to meet Shen Yue's emotional eyes. He just told Uncle Zhang, "Send me back to the company first, then take her home."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Shen Yue was overjoyed.
How wonderful, she could finally go back and lie down.
So many things had happened from yesterday to today. She should just lie in bed and relax without thinking about anything.
As her mind relaxed, Shen Yue realized the wet feeling on her butt. Only then did she notice she was still wearing those pants sticky with glue! When Shen Yichen was about to get up to leave, seeing Shen Yue sitting alone in the car with her head lowered, he suddenly couldn't bear to part.
So he carried Shen Yue out of the car, and took the initiative to hold Shen Yue's hand. "Come with me first."
"Uncle Zhang, you go back."
Uncle Zhang complied and immediately drove away without stopping. Indeed, it was the right choice to notify Young Master Shen earlier.
Young Master Shen looked indifferent to his family on the surface, but he was one of the most protective people in the Shen family.
Some people were going to be in big trouble!
Shen Yue, who was lowering her head thinking about what desserts to eat when she got home: ?
