Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Ever since Shen You left, the Shen family had fallen into a strange atmosphere.
Although Li Ru still enjoyed life leisurely every day, when the whole family ate together, her eyes would still glance at Shen You’s original seat from time to time.
Everyone knew that even if Li Ru didn’t say it, she still cared about Shen You moving out.

Every time Shen Jiao saw this scene, she would secretly clench the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, wanting to vent her depression on the bowl and chopsticks.
As for her eldest brother, who had always doted on Shen Jiao, for some reason, he had been avoiding her recently.
Her younger brother, Shen Rong, on the other hand, was constantly talking about if Sister Shen You was doing fine outside.
It seemed that everyone in the family was subtly affected by Shen You.
Shen Jiao’s heart was full of hatred, but she carefully hid it.
“Call Shen You back for dinner tomorrow,” Li Ru ordered, but she didn’t know who she was talking to.
Shen Po was focused on eating and didn’t respond to his mother’s order.
Shen Jun naturally didn’t care about such an order.
He was so happy that Shen You wasn’t home!
Just as Shen Jiao was about to speak, Shen Rong interrupted, “Sure! I’ll talk to sister you later.”

Li Ru responded with “en” and did not continue.
Shen Jiao secretly gritted her teeth, and the hatred in her heart grew.
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.
Shen Jiao came to Shen Rong’s room door, knocked on the door, and walked in.
Shen Rong was about to call Shen You, but when he saw that it was Shen Jiao, he quickly put the phone away.
“Sister, is there anything?” Shen Rong saw Shen Jiao walk in and asked.
Shen Jiao walked to Shen Rong’s bedside, looked at the family photo on the bedside table, and said, “It’s best that you don’t disturb Shen You for the time being.”
“Why?” Shen Rong frowned, not understanding why Shen Jiao said that.
“Mom asked me to ask sister you to come home for dinner. How is that disturbing?” Shen Rong asked with some dissatisfaction.
Shen Jiao smiled, looking very gentle. “Isn’t she preparing for the competition recently? She must be very busy!”
“Oh yes! How could I have forgotten about this!” Shen Rong slapped his forehead, then remembered that this was the most important thing for Shen You.
“Sister You has been looking forward to this for a long time…” Shen Rong said. He suddenly realized something and immediately stopped what he was about to say.
Shen Jiao smiled and patted Shen Rong’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, Sister will not be calculative with your Sister You!”
“She also has the right to participate in the competition, right?” Shen Jiao said, looking very magnanimous.
Shen Rong nodded and said, “Two sisters are going to participate in the competition. I have to work hard, too!”
“Yes! You have to work hard, too!” Shen Jiao said and reminded Shen Rong again, “If you disturb your Sister You, she might not be happy!”
Shen Rong was completely convinced by Shen Jiao and decided not to disturb Shen You for the time being.
Shen Bo returned to his room and turned on his computer to get ready for work.

Shen Jiao stood at the door and knocked. “Brother, Can I come in?”
Shen Po frowned slightly and said softly, “Come in.”
Shen Jiao pushed the door open and walked into the room. She looked at Shen Po, who was preparing to work, and asked, “Am I disturbing you?”
Shen Po shook his head and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Hearing Shen Po’s question which was somewhat indifferent, Shen Jiao suddenly felt hurt.
“I’m just feeling depressed. I want to talk to Eldest Brother.” Shen Jiao looked very distressed.
“What has happened?” Shen Po asked with concern.
“I feel that mom hasn’t been happy recently,” Shen Jiao said truthfully.
“Um…” Shen Po answered without any indication.
“I’m wondering if mom misses Xiaoyou.” Shen Jiao’s tone was somewhat self-reproachful. “I’m also responsible for Xiao You’s departure.”
Shen Po raised his eyebrows and did not respond to Shen You’s words.

“Actually, I should be the one leaving,” Shen Jiao said, looking like she was about to cry.
Shen Po looked at Shen Jiao’s expression and felt his heart ache.
He sighed, stood up, and walked to Shen Jiao’s side. He gently comforted her, “This is her own choice, it has nothing to do with others.”

As Shen Po spoke, he put one hand on Shen Jiao’s shoulder.
Shen Jiao sobbed softly, her head leaning slightly against Shen Po’s shoulder.
Shen Po did not reject Shen Jiao’s leaning, but his heart felt a little tense.
Shen Po’s feelings for Shen Jiao could be said to be complicated and messy.
1
Initially, Shen Po felt that he was more inclined to dote on his sister.
But when he found out that Shen Jiao was not his own sister, another emotion arose.
And, as time passed, it became more and more intense!
This feeling made Shen Po a little irritated.
So, he had already tried his best to avoid being alone with Shen Jiao.
He needed to clear up his feelings, and he also needed to let himself think calmly!
