Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy

Chapter 105

After going through two such incidents, Shen Yichen summarized his experience and understood a truth.

This time, instead of rushing out to buy toads, he randomly dialed the phone of a lucky secretary and said, "Contact someone to prepare frog worship rituals that can withstand misfortune. I won't go to the company these days and any projects that need my handling should be suspended."

Shen Yue knew this meant Shen Yichen would stay home for several days like last time.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yichen looked towards the culprit, third brother, and finally asked the question that had been interrupted yesterday, "Why are you back?"

According to reason, Shen Shuangchen had not reached the age of discharge yet, and his identity was very special. Usually, he was not allowed to go home.

It could even be said that from the day Shen Shuangchen was chosen to become a special existence, the only conditions under which he could return home were discharge, serious injury, or...death.

Now that Shen Shuangchen could come home in such good spirits was obviously abnormal.

But Shen Yichen did not doubt that Shen Shuangchen might have made a mistake or ran home secretly. Given Shen Shuangchen's personality, the only reason he would come home was under orders.

As for why the other side would issue such an order, only Shen Shuangchen himself could explain.

Shen Yichen could have asked Shen Shuangchen alone. He knew that the brothers at home were not actually familiar with each other and even indifferent. So in the past, he never forced the brothers with different personalities to accept each other. He would only lend a hand when some of them might go astray or crave affection.

Whether they established bonds with others was their own choice.

But for some reason today, Shen Yichen changed his mind.

For the first time, he felt that perhaps the blood ties between them tied them together tightly, but the ice that had never melted since birth still lay between them. Someone needed to give them the courage to break it.

He used to think it would be difficult, after all, even though he was the eldest brother, his heart was cold too.

A heart wrapped in ice, he couldn't even break himself, so how could he teach others?

But Shen Yue did it.

Shen Yichen was very glad that he had stepped into Shen Yue's room that time. That step brought him closer to Shen Yue and broke the ice attached to his heart from within.

He finally understood this was not difficult at all.

Yes, third brother, this is not difficult as long as you can take the first step.

Today's first step is to tell the truth about your return in front of your younger siblings and let them get to know you.

Shen Yichen clearly understood that if he was the one speaking, Shen Shuangchen would not refuse.

Sure enough, after hearing Shen Yichen's question, Shen Shuangchen did not hesitate and answered directly, "I have a very important mission coming up soon. My superiors let us go home to visit before officially setting out."

Shen Yichen tightened his grip on his chopsticks. He understood the meaning of Shen Shuangchen's words better than anyone.

This mission was very important. He might not come back alive, so before departure, mission executors were allowed to go home and take one last look.

Shen Yichen controlled his expression and did not reveal any emotion as he naturally continued the conversation, "What do you want to do during this trip back?"

Shen Shuangchen thought for a moment and shook his head. "Big brother, tell me what to do."

Shen Yichen sighed. Shen Shuangchen had been like this since he was little, unable to find goals or know what to do. He always waited for orders from him.

After so many years, Shen Shuangchen had not changed at all.

But of course, this was only natural.

Shen Yichen looked at Shen Yue, who had finished her meal and was about to leave the table. He had an idea. "If you don't know what to do, go accompany Shen Yue."

Shen Yue, who was about to go back to her room to continue studying for the next competition and earn money: ?

She was exhausted already. Why did she still have to take care of third brother? Shen Yue rejected outright, "No, I need to study."

After all, if her memory was correct, third brother would die after leaving this time.

She would not help and did not want to waste her heart. To be honest, except for herself, no one would believe the things in her head if she said them out loud.

She only needed to know them herself.

It was best not to get close to things you knew you would eventually lose, otherwise it would only increase loneliness.

Thinking of something, Shen Yue quickened her pace as she left.

Seeing Shen Yue leave, Shen Jize said, "Sister, I'll go with you. You can ask me if you don't understand something."

This was something Shen Jize had been doing recently. He was very happy that his talent could help his sister one day.

Usually, Shen Yue would agree and the two of them could study together all day. But today, Shen Yue did not respond.

"Fourth brother, I want to study by myself today."

After speaking, Shen Yue went upstairs without looking back.

Shen Jize, who was about to go upstairs with Shen Yue, stopped in his tracks as he belatedly realized he had been rejected by his sister.

He had been rejected by his sister.

Did his sister dislike him now?

Shen Jize stood in place as tears suddenly streamed down uncontrollably. He turned around, about to look for a tissue, when a hand holding some tissue paper reached out to him already - it was Shen Wu.

"You..." Shen Wu had wanted to say he hadn't had his treatment today, but thinking of Shen Yue, the words that came out of his mouth inexplicably changed, "I'll accompany you today."

Shen Jize took the tissue from Shen Wu blankly. "But sister..."

"She must have gone back to sleep without wanting you to find out."

After thinking about it, Shen Jize realized little fifth was right. His sister was just that kind of personality. Going after her if she was sleeping would indeed be inappropriate.

With this thought, Shen Jize stemmed his tears and started speaking softly with Shen Wu.

He was no longer afraid of little fifth now. Little fifth was a gentle child.

While answering Shen Jize, Shen Wu couldn't help but recall Shen Yue's expression just now. There was no doubt something was off about Shen Yue.

The key was, when did she start acting strangely?

Shen Wu quickly found the problem - third brother.

Shen Yue's abnormal behavior was related to third brother.

But why third brother? Other than following orders, that fool was useless. Without commands, even a random kid on the street would be stronger than him.

Before Shen Wu could figure it out, Shen Shuangchen had already prepared to accompany Shen Yue as per eldest brother's order.

He did not care whether Shen Yue had rejected the proposal earlier. He only knew he had to accomplish what eldest brother told him to do.

"Third brother, before going to find Shen Yue, first move second brother back to his room and put him in bed, tuck him in properly."

Shen Yichen specifically emphasized the keywords bed, tuck in properly, etc.

If he did not explain clearly and only told third brother to bring second brother back to his room, third brother would definitely just throw second brother on the floor and leave.

After hearing Shen Yichen's words, Shen Shuangchen easily carried the quite bulky second brother upstairs to his room.
