Sheng Yu was confused by her words and covered her ears, saying, "I don't want to listen, I don't want to listen, anyway, I don't want my sister to be with you anymore."
Liang Shi sighed helplessly, "Your sister won't listen to you."
Sheng Yu glared at her, "Definitely!"
After saying that, she jumped down from Liang Shi's arms and went to find Xu Qingzhu with her short legs.
Sheng Yu walked over and shook Xu Qingzhu's arm. Xu Qingzhu was chatting with Su Yao about the Sheng family's recent situation.
When Sheng Linlang was mentioned, Su Yao was filled with nostalgia, saying that she hadn't seen her in a long time. They used to be very close, but she always forgot why she had lost her memory.
Su Yao also said that she was too fragile and couldn't get through those painful days, which caused Xu Qingzhu to be supported by Sheng Linlang.
It's all thanks to Sheng Linlang's hard work that Xu Qingzhu has been raised so well.
Hearing these words, Xu Qingzhu felt extremely sad, but she could only comfort Su Yao, saying, "You are already very strong, and you are really amazing."
As soon as she finished speaking, Sheng Yu shook Xu Qingzhu's arm, tilted her head up, and looked at Xu Qingzhu with her grape-like eyes.
Xu Qingzhu asked, "What's wrong?"
Sheng Yu clung to her arm, wanting a hug, but Xu Qingzhu picked her up. "What are you doing?"
She was about the same age as Xu Qingya back then, and Xu Qingya was lively, while she became very withdrawn after the kidnapping incident, often not leaving her room for a whole day.
I don't have much experience taking care of my younger sister.
Looking at Sheng Yu now, I don't know whether to be strict or gentle with her.
After all, she's the younger sister, unlike Lingdang who's a generation younger.
So in the end, Xu Qingzhu decided to follow her heart and let things take their natural course.
Sheng Yu hugged her neck and whispered in her ear, "Sister, that Sister Liang is bad, can we stop being friends with her?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingzhu looked at Liang Shi and saw him holding a cup and drinking water, looking helpless.
Xu Qingzhu asked Sheng Yu what had happened. After understanding the whole story, Xu Qingzhu paused and said, "Sheng Yu, have you ever thought about this...?"
Sheng Yu blinked at her, her eyes filled with hope.
Xu Qingzhu said, "Maybe that older sister is right?"
Xu Qingzhu patted Sheng Yu's head. "Even a genius like Rainbow with a photographic memory is called an idiot, so what should we call an ordinary kid like you? A moron?"
Sheng Yu: "..."
She opened her mouth wide, about to burst into tears, but Xu Qingzhu stuffed a piece of apple into her mouth and said, "Don't cry."
Sheng Yu went to her mother feeling wronged, but Su Yao agreed with Xu Qingzhu's statement and asked her in confusion, "Why do you keep targeting little Zhou Caihong?"
Sheng Yu said, "Because she's annoying!"
"It's because she knows more than you," Su Yao said. "Did she steal your thunder?"
Sheng Yu: "..."
Poor little Sheng Yu didn't find any allies, only a bunch of "enemies".
She ran to the corner and sulked against the wall.
Everyone burst into laughter at her antics.
In the end, it was Liang Shi who suggested taking her to play in the corridor that made her feel better again.
//
At the family reunion banquet, Liang Shi drank some wine and toasted Su Zhe and Meng Tong.
Xu Qingzhu then introduced her to Su Yao, who looked at Liang Shi and praised her, saying, "She's a good kid."
After saying that, she was about to give him the card. Liang Shi wanted to refuse, but when he saw Su Yao's expectant eyes, he took the card and sweetly called her "Mom".
Su Yao said happily, "Now I have three daughters."
Liang Shi treated everyone very well. When they came out of the restaurant, she and Xu Qingzhu stood at the door to see the Su family off. In the end, only Su Nan was left behind, saying that she had to go back to school later.
This younger brother is studying at a medical university and lives on the same route as them.
Xu Qingzhu said she would drive him there in a little while.
Su Nan, who had been quiet all evening, said she could take a taxi there, but Su Zhe glared at her and said, "Your sister said she'd take you, so you should listen to her."
It must be to help him develop some rapport with Xu Qingzhu.
After the Su family had all left, Xu Qingzhu asked Su Nan, her voice slightly cold, "Are you going back to the medical university later?"
Su Nan nodded.
After a moment, he added, "Yes, I have an early class tomorrow."
"What's your major?" Xu Qingzhu asked.
Su Nan said, "Clinical medicine."
"That will take many years," Xu Qingzhu said. "I remember it being five years?"
“I’m in an eight-year integrated bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral program,” Su Nan said.
You could tell that his high level of education made him very proud, even the last syllable of his voice was slurred.
Xu Qingzhu nodded, "It's pretty good. I have a friend who also graduated from medical school."
Su Nan said "Oh," and then asked Xu Qingzhu, "And what about you?"
Xu Qingzhu paused slightly, "Qingyi University."
These four words immediately changed Su Nan's expression. He suddenly said, "I heard your father is a genius."
Xu Qingzhu glanced sideways: "Hmm?"
“He’s a genius architect,” Su Nan said. “So your intelligence is inherited from your dad?”
Xu Qingzhu shrugged: "Maybe, but my mom is quite intelligent too. No one can compare to her talent in the arts."
“Indeed.” Su Nan nodded, saying with a hint of admiration, “Auntie is amazing.”
After exchanging a few words, Xu Qingzhu and Su Nan broke the ice.
However, Su Nan is indeed a man of few words. Su Meiqi once said that she probably said everything her brother had to say, so her brother is a complete taciturn person.
Xu Qingzhu never intended to cultivate a good relationship with Su Nan; she just wanted to avoid making enemies.
They didn't grow up together, so even though she's nominally my cousin, we're definitely not that close.
However, although they added each other on WeChat at the dinner table, Su Nan's WeChat Moments was completely blank.
First, I took Su Nan to the medical university, then I turned back to her neighborhood; the distance was really short.
Whenever this happened, Liang Shi would sigh and think that Zhao Xuning really had a good sense of investment. Compared with him, the original owner was far inferior in this business sense!
They were both exhausted when they got back, so after washing up, they went to their respective rooms to rest.
As Liang Shi lay in bed, he wondered if he would be able to sleep in a different bed.
But the moment she lay down, she thought, "No way."
The mattress was so soft that she could fall asleep instantly if she buried her head in it.
It might be because I've been too busy these past two days.
As she nestled in bed, drifting off to sleep, that familiar, eerie electronic voice suddenly echoed in her mind:
[Ding dong! Congratulations, host, on completing side quest 1: Embark on a three-day, two-night trip with Xu Qingzhu. The reward is 3 Luck Points or 300,000 RMB. Please choose.]
[A friendly reminder: Accumulating luck points beyond 80 becomes doubly difficult. If you fail to trigger the key information, it will be difficult to accumulate luck points to 100. Please choose your mission rewards carefully. The mission rewards will be sent to your account within ten minutes of your selection.]
After hesitating, Liang Shi chose 300,000.
With half the time left before the mission ends, accumulating twenty luck points shouldn't be too difficult.
Besides, the system had already reminded her last time that she had accumulated 87 luck points, so she only had 13 left.
In this situation, she decisively chose money.
[Okay, the mission reward will be sent to your account within ten minutes. Please check your account!]
but……
"Did you make a mistake in your statistics? Strictly speaking, we didn't have a three-day, two-night trip; it should have been two days and two nights at most," Liang Shi asked hesitantly.
system:【……】
The moment the system went silent, Liang Shi felt as if it was calling her an idiot.
Since the warning had already been given, why would she expose it again?
Liang Shi regretted asking the question the very next second; his mouth had acted faster than his brain.
The main reason was that she had thought about the task when she returned from the suburbs, and at that time she felt that she probably wouldn't be able to complete it. She was already planning her next trip in her mind.
A moment later, the system replied: 【I hate that you're such a blockhead!】
Liang Shi: "?"
If this were a human being, Liang Shi could understand and accept it.
But the other party is an AI, an AI without emotions!
The system still spoke that eerie mechanical voice, and when it said the word "wood," there was a sudden crackling sound of electricity.
It's so reassuring that it gives you a headache, making the statement even less credible.
System: [Is the three days important for a three-day, two-night trip? No! It's the two nights! On two romantic nights, you'll be inseparable, sitting by a campfire, standing by the sea. It's not where you are, it's the two of you! A more intimate space will ignite a spark of romance between you, so this task is considered complete.]
Liang Shi: "Then we also have a space for two people at home."
system:【……】
[Ding dong! Due to the host's excessive dullness, the system will bestow upon the host a new title: Romantic Assassin.]
Liang Shi: "?"
"Is this title useful?" Liang Shi asked.
System: [Make it easy for me to mock you!]
Liang Shi: "..."
