Chapter 23: Get Rid of This Wasteful Little Pet

Xie Ziyue and Yin Shen tightened their backs almost reflexively.

The sound is engraved in my bones, and along with it, a lingering sense of oppression that makes my back numb.

Only the child looked up in surprise, and the moment he saw the middle-aged man, his eyes lit up!

At the same time, the man's eyes just happened to fall lightly on the child.

Those deep black pupils met Xingxing's eyes that were as bright as stars.

In these strange few seconds of silence, Yin Shen was the first to react.

He tried to make it look casual as he put the child down.

After letting Xingxing sit on the bed, Yin Shen walked to the man and lowered his head slightly:

"Father."

Shen Chenzhou nodded nonchalantly, not paying any attention.

He just looked at the stars.

There was no emotion in Shen Chenzhou's eyes, just like when he was giving lectures at the university.

But his expression startled Yin Shen.

Xie Ziyu even struggled to get up from the bed:

"Father..."

Shen Chenzhou waved his hand and walked to the bedside:

"Ziji, you are so badly injured, please stop moving."

It was rare for him to express such caring words to his own children.

But whether it was Xie Ziyu or Yin Shen, they both felt terrified by this.

Xie Ziyu glanced at the star beside the bed, staring at his father, and his heart began to beat fast:

"Father, I'm sorry to trouble you..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Chenzhou made a gesture to shut up.

Xie Ziyu clenched his teeth tightly and dared not say another word.

What to do? My father finally knew the existence of stars.

What should he do...what should the stars do!

However, Xingxing had no idea how panicked her sixth brother, who loved her the most, was.

She blinked her big eyes as she looked at Shen Chenzhou who was getting closer and closer, and saw a thick mist on him.

This was the first time she couldn't see all the hexagrams for a person - she couldn't even tell the hexagram.

Along with it came the most profound and sensitive emotions that were engraved in her bones and blood.

Seeing Shen Chenzhou getting closer and closer, Xie Ziyue tightened his back.

He was thinking about the probability of escaping with Xingxing at this time.

Yin Shen lowered his eyes, and his face showed no emotion.

But his fingertips slightly pinched the palm.

Just when Xie Ziyao couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to jump over to protect Xingxing, Xingxing just jumped forward!

Then came a soft, baby voice with an extremely cheerful tone, poking a hole in the depressing and sticky atmosphere.

"Daddy!"

The child's face flushed with joy, and she was so excited to see her father that she completely ignored some strange details.

She naturally opened her arms and rushed towards Shen Chenzhou.

Xie Ziyu's pupils constricted, and even the calmest Yin Shen raised his eyes in surprise.

There was a hint of barely perceptible surprise in Shen Chenzhou's eyes.

Then, just before the child was about to touch him, he raised his hand and touched her forehead.

Xingxing stretched out his short little hands in the air and waved them twice in a daze.

Can't touch anything.

She was like a confused lamb, with her head resting on the slender hand.

But happiness is still happiness.

She thought her father was playing with her.

"Dad, dad, dad~"

She shouted and hugged Shen Chenzhou's wrist.

The moment the soft little arm climbed up to the beautiful wrist with protruding bony joints, Shen Chenzhou withdrew his hand.

He rubbed his wrist, the smile on his face faded, and finally he showed a little impatience.

"You can't tell the difference between good guys and bad guys. What a stupid little pet."

He spoke in a low voice, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

He was still gentle, but only those who knew him best knew that he was getting a little impatient.

Shen Chenzhou rarely had ups and downs in his emotions, but he had to admit that he was indeed surprised for a moment just now.

Because he has never had any children.

Children's feelings are always the most sensitive, just like the instincts of small animals.

So no matter how elegant and gentle he looks, and no matter how well he can deceive adults, children are always afraid of him.

This was the first time that he looked up with sparkling eyes and a smile.

Shen Chenzhou was surprised and at the same time found it ridiculous.

If a child loses even the ability to distinguish between good and bad, he is even more useless.

Shen Chenzhou stood up straight and looked down at her.

But the soft touch of the child on my palm has not yet disappeared.

The moment Shen Chenzhou withdrew his hand, Xie Ziyue gathered the stars in his arms.

The little kid didn't seem to understand the situation.

Xingxing doesn't understand why her father doesn't seem to like her very much.

But……

When my sixth brother and eldest brother first saw me, didn’t they both look like they disliked me?

But now Sixth Brother is very nice to me, and Big Brother is also very nice, he even hugs me!

Are her father and brothers all like this?

Xingxing was held in Xie Ziyu's arms, looking at Shen Chenzhou with her head tilted.

After meeting Shen Chenzhou's cold and dark eyes, he smiled very happily.

Daddy looked at me! Daddy must care about the stars too!

The child smiled, and his originally round eyes curved.

The starry sky turned into a crescent moon, and the chubby little cheeks were filled with flesh, with small pear-shaped vortices on both sides.

She is delicate and lovely, and her smile makes people feel soft to the heart.

Shen Chenzhou raised his eyebrows slightly, looked away and looked at Xie Ziyu:

"Do you know who caused this car accident?"

Xie Ziyu took a deep breath, trying to divert his attention from Xingxing and calm down:

"I think so."

Shen Chenzhou nodded: "Not stupid."

Xie Ziyao pursed his lips and held Xingxing's arms tightly:

"I'm sorry, father. I shouldn't have lied to you. Xingxing is indeed the sister I want to adopt. She is very important. Can you please not..."

"Don't want what?" Shen Chenzhou smiled gently, "Kill her?"

As the three words floated down, Xie Ziyu's eyes turned red almost instantly.

Yin Shen also raised his head suddenly and opened his mouth.

Shen Chenzhou was seen stroking his fingertips, his tone unchanged, and he said gently:

"Xingxing, an orphan from the Blue Sky Orphanage, ran out in the middle of the night and bumped into you, so you took her home and even offered to help Yin Shen by going abroad to study in exchange for him helping you."

He knew everything, but he only spoke out slowly now.

"Xie Ziyu, I didn't expect you to be so kind."

Xie Ziyu felt cold all over.

"I've told you before that people with weak sides will never achieve anything. Xie Ziyu, I really didn't teach you enough."

Shen Chenzhou looked at Xie Ziyu.

The boy's back was tense and he was trembling. His arms, which were holding Xingxing, were covered with scars, but he held her very tightly.

There was no sign of fluctuation on Shen Chenzhou's face:

"Once you've recovered from your injuries, let's go abroad. Yin Shen will take care of this little pet."

Yin Shen was behind Shen Chenzhou and responded in a low voice: "Yes."

Xie Ziyu suddenly raised his head at this moment: "No! What is the basis for your decision..."

His words were silenced by a slap from Shen Chenzhou.

"The knife I sharpened with my own hands is also easy to destroy. Do you understand? Xie Ziyu."
