Yue Ning sniffled and gave a little hum as if to agree. He was inwardly praising Third Brother’s reasoning. Shujun then looked towards Haoming, "What do you think?" Haoming nodded expressionlessly, "Brothers, for life." He wanted love, but he wanted to keep the bonds of family too. Shujun’s smile blossomed as she turned to the eldest brother. "What about you, Big Brother? To be honest, I’m quite worried about you because, after all... ever since we were kids, Big Brother, you’ve been involved in endless schemes, and it’s precisely because of those cunning and sly tactics that we’ve managed to survive until now. But on this matter, I really don’t want to see you plotting and scheming." Zhi Chen was speechless, and he massaged his forehead, "I’m really hurt. Do you think I’m that dirty in your heart?" Shujun leaned back on her hands, stretched out her long legs, and swung her feet, "It’s not that you’re dirty, but I have to be on guard, right? Although I might be a bit clever, when it comes to being sly, I’m certainly no match for you, Big Brother." In the end, both amused and irritated, Zhi Chen declared he would never engage in such lowly acts. Shujun was finally satisfied. The next day, Dong Huiying woke up to find that the atmosphere among the brothers seemed to have changed. And they were clustering around her like chickens with their blood up, with Shujun being the most proactive of all. Dong Huiying, "Can you please tell me what exactly happened?" Shujun smirked playfully, "Guess, guess? If you guess it, I’ll tell you." "If I could guess, I wouldn’t need you to state the obvious." Shujun widened her eyes, "Ow! Baobao, you’re not the same Baobao as before!" She actually accused her of stating the obvious? "Pfft." Shen Qiuyang couldn’t help but laugh at this, thinking that Liang Shujun really was a treasure. Shujun’s eyes twinkled, "If I’m not mistaken, you are the young miss of the Shen family from Pingchang City, Shen Qiuyang, right? Having holed up in this remote place for so long, do you know someone’s heart is almost broken for you?" Humph, dare to laugh at Liang Shujun? Does she think he’s a sick cat when he’s not flexing his tiger’s might? Shen Qiuyang blinked in surprise, "What’s this about a broken heart?" "Tsk, tsk, tsk, there’s no one more heartless than you. Young Master Li from the Li family is pining for you. Ever since he heard about your ’death’, he’s been crying and making a fuss about finding your remains. He really cares deeply for you!" Shen Qiuyang was stunned. Young Master Li from the Li family? She remembered the boy who always followed around behind her, affectionately calling her Sister Qiu. She... she always saw that kid as a little brother! He was several years younger than her! Seeing this, Shujun couldn’t help but think to herself. Judging by Shen Qiuyang’s reaction... Ah! So it was Young Master Li who was pining away in unrequited love, the flower has intentions but the water is heartless? Tsk, tsk, tsk, that’s really quite pitiable! But then, turning to look at Dong Huiying, she couldn’t help but frown. The flower has intentions, the water is heartless? Poor? That’s hardly just Young Master Li! "Baobao, what are we eating today?" Shujun cozied up to Dong Huiying, as if suffering from a skin hunger, constantly rubbing against the young girl. Dong Huiying felt uncomfortable being rubbed against, "Noodle soup with spicy meat sauce." She answered and started to prepare the noodles. Shujun was very supportive, "Good, good, good, I love noodle soup with spicy meat sauce the most! I love everything Baobao makes!" After breakfast, Dong Huiying methodically prepared the medicine, brewed it and then it was time to feed Zhi Chen and Liang Shujun the medicinal soup. Worried that it was too bitter, she prepared some syrup for the two, winning a smile from each of them.
