Chapter 64

"It's Shen Yue, who used to follow Shang Junyu around asking for his help. I thought she was just a student sponsored by the Shang family, but then my dad suddenly said she's actually from the Shen family, so we absolutely can't provoke her."

"My family also specifically told me not to cause trouble with her. And I saw the new principal personally taking her around the school that day."

"Wasn't the special class newly created too? Seems like it was set up just for Shen Yue."

"Who's in the special class?"

"I only heard it's people personally invited by the Shen family. Also, we're going to be assigned classes soon. They won't put sponsored students in a separate class anymore, it'll be by grades."

"Assign by grades? What are they trying to do?"

"Damn, we won't be able to pay to get our scores changed anymore? I'm going to get beaten to death by my dad if that's the case. No, I have to start studying hard from now on."

As Ye Yin and a few other students walked by another classroom, they happened to overhear the discussion about Shen Yue, so he also asked, "What do you guys think of the new student Shen Yue?"

The other two were his good buddies, Mi Qian and Zhuo Wenfei, also the two people who discussed Shen Yue's "condition" with him that day.

Upon hearing Shen Yue's name, Zhuo Wenfei and Mi Qian had a conditioned response: "Oh no, I haven't apologized yet."

Ye Yin quickly reminded them, "You better hurry up, or else she'll fall asleep again."

The two turned their heads, "How do you know?"

"She was asleep for half the morning."

Mi Qian, "Is there really something wrong with her health?"

Zhuo Wenfei, "She can fall asleep even when the morning classes are so interesting?"

Ye Yin, "Don't you think she's very pretty? None of the girls in our class can compare to her looks."

The three of them talked about different things, and no one was listening to the others.

When Shen Yue returned to the classroom, she found her seat very lively. She hesitated for a moment before walking over.

As soon as she got close, the three people who were discussing exam questions all turned to look at her at the same time.

Shen Yue: ?

Not only did they look over, but as soon as Shen Yue walked a little closer, Zhuo Wenfei and Mi Qian directly faced her and used the same opening line Ye Yin did to give her a thorough 360 degree apology from all angles.

Shen Yue also sincerely responded, "Thank you."

Mi Qian was straightforward. He asked directly, "You're not angry? Why are you thanking us?" Shen Yue was equally puzzled. "I really like sleeping."

"Oh!" And then?

"After you guys said that, I went home and slept in bed for two days. I also played for a long time." After Shen Yue said this, afraid they wouldn't believe her, she added, "I was really happy."

This kind of joy was even more precious after being tortured by her big brother.

At this moment, Mi Qian, Ye Yin, and Zhuo Wenfei all understood one thing at the same time - the new student Shen Yue wholeheartedly loved the undertaking of sleeping.

Math was the third period, which happened to be Niu Kaihuai's best subject. He stared at Shen Yue, not letting her sleep. So Shen Yue opened up a yogurt drink and relied on that to get through the class.

Slept during the fourth period.

At lunch, because she was too lazy to move, Shen Yue chose to sleep.

Slept and spaced out during the four afternoon classes.

Ye Yin wanted to talk to Shen Yue several times, but couldn't find an opportunity.

The happy day passed by like this.

When Shen Yichen came to pick up Shen Yue after school, he found Shen Yue's spirit clearly much better. He instantly felt that sending Shen Yue to school was the right decision.

Of course, this good mood only lasted until Niu Kaihuai called him to pick up Shen Yue's pillow and eye mask.

Shen Yichen put down his phone and looked at Shen Yue, calm and composed. "Is there anything you want to say to me today?"

Shen Yichen decided that if Shen Yue honestly admitted her mistake today, he would let it go this once.

However, after thinking for a moment, Shen Yue very proudly said her "achievement" today: "I didn't sleep during third period today relying on big brother's yogurt!"

Shen Yichen: ?

He had thought Shen Yue only brought her pillow and eye mask to school. He didn't expect this girl to have slept the entire day!

It was obviously something to get angry about, but for some reason, after hearing Shen Yue say it was because of big brother's yogurt, his anger instantly dissipated.

He was even a little happy.

How bizarre.

Shen Yichen pressed on his tianzhu acupoint several times, and finally compromised.

He rubbed Shen Yue's head. The words of reprimand that were about to come out of his mouth changed to, "Well done."

Shen Yue's eyes curved happily. Clearly she also thought she did very well.

"Don't sleep during class tomorrow."

"Then big brother bring me two yogurts."

"Ok."

The two ate dinner together, then went back home.

Shen Yue wanted to crawl back to her bedroom again, but Shen Yichen stopped her. "You have cooking class tomorrow. To avoid injuring yourself, let's practice first today."

Shen Yue was grabbed by Shen Yichen and thrown into the kitchen. The family chef taught Shen Yue some basics and how to use the tools. Shen Yue glanced at Shen Yichen standing to the side with his arms crossed supervising. She found it a bit strange.

She thought her big brother would teach her. She didn't expect it to be the chef. Isn't her big brother capable of anything?

"Don't look at me. I know what you're thinking. I can do it, but I'm not a professional. Some things should be taught by professionals."

Shen Yue oh'ed and tilted her head to remember the chef's motions, speed, and distance when cutting things.

But when it was her turn to do it herself, her hands couldn't keep up with the speed her brain was recalling the memories. She cut her own hand.

Luckily it was just broken skin, but the blood still looked frightening gushing out.

Shen Yichen seemed to have anticipated this. He opened the first aid kit he had placed nearby early on. He used gauze to clean Shen Yue's hand, disinfected it with alcohol, then plastered a large bandaid on Shen Yue's wound.

"Remember, knives are very dangerous. Don't touch them during class if you can avoid it. If you must cut something, you have to cut slower."

Looking at Shen Yichen's skilled motions, Shen Yue suspected her big brother had known early on that she would get injured, and had evidence.

"Big brother, have you injured your hand before too?"

While nodding, Shen Yichen took out his phone to take a picture of Shen Yue's bandaged injured finger. "Your other four big brothers have also cut their hands before."

As he spoke, Shen Yichen already opened the brothers' group chat and threw the picture of Shen Yue's injured finger into the group.

Caption: Completed kitchen training.

The last message in the group was from Shen Shuangyi. His commentary was very brief: Pretty, how long did big brother practice?

Shen Yichen realized he hadn't replied yet, and started typing.

[Didn't practice long, just watched some videos and picked it up.]

Right, he had only watched a few hundred videos, it was nothing worth mentioning at all.

Not long after Shen Yue's injury pic was sent out, Shen Shuangyi sent another message in the group.

Shen Shuangyi: [Is it serious?]

Shen Yichen: [Not serious, just broke some skin. Aren't you filming? ]

Shen Shuangyi: [Almost wrapped, one more week then I'll come back. Those two aren't around right?]

Shen Yichen: [Not around, they said they're on their honeymoon, probably won't be back for 2-3 years.]

Shen Jize: [Then I'll also come back this weekend.]

Shen Yichen thought about it. He happened to be going on a business trip this weekend, he wouldn't feel assured leaving Shen Yue home alone. It was good that fourth brother was coming back.

Shen Yichen: [Ok.]

Lowering his head to see Shen Yue still obediently standing there waiting, Shen Yichen's heart softened. "What are you thinking about?"

Shen Yue spoke up, "I also want to try bandaging."

So the able-bodied Shen Yichen sat on the sofa and was bandaged from head to toe by Shen Yue, until only his two nostrils and mouth were still exposed for breathing.

"Shen! Yue!"
