74 She Niu

◎ Oops, I spoke too quickly. ◎

Shao Sheng clicked on the first trending search, and the first thing that caught his eye was a short video.

The camera angle looked like a candid shot. The surrounding noise, mixed with the throngs of people, made it impossible to make out the exact words of the subjects. All I could see was a conversation between two men and women in black trench coats. I couldn't tell what they were talking about, but they suddenly smiled at the same time, their brows lightening with joy, their usual aloofness instantly dispelled.

Then, a girl in a white dress suddenly appeared next to the girl in the black windbreaker. She only showed her side face, but the smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows was extremely vivid. She naturally hugged the arm of the girl in the black windbreaker and looked at her with her face slightly tilted up.

The moment the little white dress entered the camera, everyone's eyes in the scene were focused on her at the same time, tacitly and naturally.

The video ends here, it only lasts a dozen seconds.

Shao Sheng subconsciously clicked on the comment section.

I know the guy. He's Xiao Qin. But who's that woman in the black trench coat? She's so beautiful, even without makeup.

The Third Miss of the Liang Family, the new generation's epitome of beauty and violence! She's incredibly beautiful in real life, and her temper is... uh, super serious? P.S. My company has collaborated with Yixing before, and I met her once at work.

Did she post about the glacier operation? I remember her being very aggressive, with pictures and recordings. Xiao Qin even commented on her.

[I'm crazy about handsome men and beautiful women! 】

[Can you please stop... This girl looks like she's into 4i, the kind where straight men touch men and gay women touch women. Look, that white skirt is definitely meant to be touched.]

[No, did Qin Zhen and Liang Jingyi really go to worship Buddha? A few days ago, I saw them both saying on Weibo, "It's been set up, go worship!" Wow, such action! But then again, shouldn't they go to Jintai Temple in this situation? They must have gone to the wrong place.]

[What's even funnier is that they went to worship together! Hahahaha, are they making a wish not to hire any more annoying employees?]

[Players around the world are instantly relieved~ Xiao Qin is fine, Xiao Liang is fine too! Support friendly cooperation~]

【……】

Shao Sheng exited the video and saw a few blurry candid photos, mostly profile photos of Liang Zhihui and others. Some of them were helping Liang Youwei down the stairs, and some were helping Liang Youwei hang a wish note. It was not clear, but her superior facial features and temperament were obvious.

Dressed in the same cool colors, with a straight back and a neutral expression, the low-key and luxurious old money atmosphere is obvious.

I think this is the real reason why it became such a hot topic.

After all, these people are all legitimate heirs to wealthy families, and with all kinds of buffs stacked together, it is difficult for them to be ordinary.

Shao Sheng looked back at his live broadcast room and the barrage of comments continued.

[The group pet literature has been reflected in reality. I never said that the second sister-in-law is such a softie.]

[So the second sister-in-law is the mysterious Weiwei from the Liang family? I envy her so much, her life is so blessed!]

[Is it my imagination? Why do I feel like they're being too cautious with my second sister-in-law?]

[Yes, my second sister-in-law is an adult over 20 years old after all. She certainly wouldn't be stared at by a crowd of people as if they were afraid she would fall even when she was walking down the stairs.]

[I have a bold idea. Could it be that my second sister-in-law is pregnant...?]

[Is Shengsheng going to be an uncle? ]

Enthusiastic comments flashed across the screen, leaving Shao Sheng stunned. He was going to be an uncle? How could that be possible? Second Brother had never mentioned it. And Second Brother wouldn't do anything like getting a girl pregnant before marriage, right? How rude!

Shao Sheng is usually a rather reckless person, but he still has some basic intelligence. He ignored the fans' speculation and curiosity and only answered questions about himself.

The rhythm gradually returned to normal, and the innocent boy, at the request of his fans, shared his screen to live-stream his game. But at this moment, a message popped up, the text displayed straight at the top.

Second Sister-in-law: [Shengsheng, why can't I find Mai Ya? Why isn't it in the pet room? I want to play with it.]

Second sister-in-law: (cat poking its head out emoji)

Maiya is the big golden retriever, and Shao Sheng has raised it for nearly five years.

The boy in the sweatshirt calmly split the screen and replied while squatting on the grass: [Second sister-in-law, Maiya is in my room, you can go directly to the second floor to take him away]

Second Sister-in-law: [Okay. But I heard from Shao Yue that you were working. Will this bother you?]

Shengsheng: [No, just come directly]

Anyway, he connected the phone screen to the laptop and turned off the camera.

The barrage of comments exploded instantly, and the gossipy heart was rekindled.

[Brother Sheng! Let my second sister-in-law say hello to us. I really want to hear her voice~]

[I agree, I agree. We are all family sooner or later anyway (shy)]

[That’s right, we’re all family, so I’ll call you sister-in-law first!]

Shao Dasheng, don't pretend you didn't see it!

Shao Sheng took a moment to glance over and caught a glimpse of these words. He couldn't help but cough and said guiltily, "Let's forget about saying hello. Normal people get shy easily, and my second sister-in-law doesn't know how to interact with strangers, so it will be very awkward."

[Husband, please]

[Husband, please]

[Husband, please]

Bang, his hand slipped for a second, and the character controlled by Shao Sheng flew into the crowd, and was controlled by a chain, and the battlefield evaporated in less than two seconds.

His face turned red because of the operational error, but he felt ashamed to "blame" the fans. He could not help but feel dejected and blame himself for his lack of self-control.

“Knock, knock.”

As if a savior had arrived, Shao Sheng quickly put down his phone and went to open the door. He turned around and called out "Malt", and the dog immediately trotted over and wagged its tail wildly at him.

Outside the door, Liang Youwei bent down and patted the dog's head skillfully: "Thank you, Shengsheng. Then I'll take it upstairs."

"Well... um, Sister Weiwei, can you do me a favor?" Although he was conflicted, Shao Sheng still asked in a low voice before she turned around.

Liang Youwei stopped and blinked: "What's wrong?"

Shao Sheng touched his ear: "Wasn't I just live streaming? Some fans said they wanted to hear my voice and say hello to me... But don't worry, they don't have any bad intentions! They are just curious. I didn't turn on the camera."

Liang Youwei was stunned. "That's it?" A smile appeared on her bare face. "I thought it was a big deal. You looked so nervous. This is so relaxing."

"Thank you, sis!"

"It's okay."

She followed Shao Sheng in and looked at the laptop screen curiously: "This is the first time I've seen the equipment behind the live broadcast. It turns out it's not that complicated."

"Yeah, just download some software and familiarize yourself with the process."

Shao Sheng pushed a gaming chair towards Liang Youwei and asked her to sit and watch. Liang Youwei watched the barrage of comments flying all over the screen, her eyes wide with shock: "Shengsheng, are there actually tens of millions of people in your live broadcast room?"

The boy, with a slightly smoky voice, was very sure: "That's definitely not the case. Who knows what the data is? Anyway, I think it's calculated based on tens of millions of cut-ins and exits."

How could there be so many living people on Weibo at the same time?

"Oh, oh." Liang Youwei didn't feel too intimidated, and spoke more relaxedly. "Then how should I greet them? Say hello? Everyone seems so welcoming."

The comments were scrolling so fast that she could hardly see clearly. She could only see a series of "Ahhhhhhh".

"That's about right. Just say hello to everyone."

"Oh. Hello everyone then."

"……sister?"

"Hahaha, I was just joking. Shengsheng, your expression is so funny. I'm not a fool!"

The atmosphere of the barrage was quite good, with everyone saying things like [It was so cool, I met Shao Sheng's sister-in-law and she made me happy].

Seeing Liang Youwei's interest and the fans' friendly responses, Shao Sheng felt relieved: "Sister, why don't you chat with them first? I'll play games for a while."

"Well, you go play, I'll play too."

Liang Youwei was always curious about people and things she had never encountered. She held her chin and stared at the comments, unconsciously reading aloud, asking and answering herself: "What did my second sister-in-law do today? My second sister-in-law? Was it me? Well... Actually, I didn't do anything. I just worshipped Guanyin with my family."

"Why do I worship Guanyin... I pray for peace and health. I heard that the Pu Luo Temple is very accurate, so I went there."

"Are you feeling unwell today? I've been held up the whole time... Hey, how did you know? I'm actually fine, it's just that my family is making a fuss. But thank you for your concern anyway."

"Is Qin Zhen and Jing Yi close? I'm not sure, but they both get along really well. Is it because of their collaboration? Have they collaborated recently? Oh, that should be it."

"What's the relationship between Qin Zhen and I? We're just good friends. The seven of us have a good relationship and we even have a group."

Liang Youwei was a complete lisp, answering whatever was asked. As long as her tone was pleasant enough, she wouldn't notice anything was wrong, and she'd say most of it. Of course, whether it was true or not was up to you; she had her own understanding and judgment.

By the time Shao Sheng finished a game, Liang Youwei was already chatting happily with his fans, petting the dog in her hands and talking.

"Hahaha, what's with the aristocratic family? That's too much of an exaggeration. The feudal dynasty is long gone. My second sister and eldest brother are just normal people, just exceptionally beautiful and smart. There's really no need to have such a high standard for us. Sometimes, my third sister would even take me for a ride on her electric scooter and eat noodles with soybean paste."

"Is there a link to the necklace... I don't have one for this one, but if you like it, I can give you a pair of the same style. I remember I bought out all of them, ten in total. I can't wear them all anyway, so I can give them away."

"Can you see my face? It's not very good. I didn't put on makeup today, so I'm not pretty enough. I can show it to you when I'm fully dressed later~"

Liang Youwei wanted to refuse to show her face, but Shao Sheng's fans were like an organization. After receiving the rejection, they all flooded the screen with messages like "Sister-in-law, please pamper me", which made her blush and her heart beat fast, and she lost her mind.

"Shengsheng, how do I turn on the camera?"

Forget it, I’m not ugly without makeup anyway.

Shao Sheng was convinced. It turned out that Sister Weiwei had such a generous side. He suppressed his laughter and reached out to adjust the equipment. Almost at the moment when the camera was turned on, there was a knock on the door.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Yue walked into the room - Shao Sheng had a bad memory and forgot to close the door, and Shao Yue was even more familiar with entering a room whose door his younger brother had already opened.

He supported himself on the sandalwood desk with one hand, leaning forward slightly, and completely enveloping the girl on the gaming chair in his arms. Shao Yue looked at her sideways and asked gently, "Why haven't you come back for so long? What are you doing?"

Liang Youwei subconsciously turned her head to look at him.

Perhaps it was because they were too close, or perhaps they hadn't anticipated the other person's reaction, but with only a finger's distance between them, the tips of their noses could have lightly touched. Their eyes met in the air, and their heartbeats matched in an instant.

They were stunned at the same time.

Shao Yue was the first to react. His eyes darkened, and his long fingers pressed harder against the wooden table, his knuckles turning white. The next second, the man calmly straightened up, touched the back of the girl's head, and whispered, "Come back when you've had enough fun. I'll be waiting for you."

Liang Youwei was stunned, at a loss, and completely speechless.

Shao Sheng's pupils trembled as he watched—I didn't realize that this was how his second brother interacted with girls? At the same time, the barrage of comments exploded.

[No, no, no, no one said that Brother Shao was so capable???]

[Isn't it a given that Second Brother is known for his playboy reputation? He's just a small dish... but he's so handsome.]

[No wonder my second sister-in-law doesn't seem very smart...surrounded by beautiful women and handsome men, what troubles can there be in life? Anyone would be confused.]

At this moment, Liang Youwei was no longer in the mood to chat with netizens. Facing such beauty, she really wanted to eat.

Shao Sheng also felt that his second sister-in-law had chatted with fans enough. If they were to discuss it in detail and in depth, they would probably even reveal the insider decisions of major brands. He cleared his throat and changed the subject: "Sister Weiwei, you see, my second brother misses you. You should go and accompany him soon. This is the first time I've seen him actively ask for someone to accompany him."

Liang Youwei was still stunned: "Really? This is the first time he has taken the initiative to find someone to accompany him..."

"Why should I coax you? Let's go, let's take Maiya with us~"

After struggling to coax the people out, Shao Sheng took a deep breath, turned around alone, and prepared to face the "bloody storm".

On this side, Shao Sheng entered the Cyber ​​Spider Cave; on the other side, Liang Youwei was immersed in the land of tenderness and couldn't extricate herself.

The decoration style of Shao Yue's room is weird, with a strong sense of color collision and simple layout. The huge room is empty, and there are no other unnecessary decorations except for the peculiarly shaped daily necessities.

To Liang Youwei's taste, this room was inexplicably eerie, but Shao Yue perfectly made up for it. He just sat beside her, and even though his attention was on the marker on the table, Liang Youwei still felt at ease.

"Shao Yue, what are you painting?" After secretly admiring that face enough, Liang Youwei asked in a serious tone.

"Is it beautiful?" Shao Yue did not answer her question in a hurry. Instead, he closed his pen and turned calmly. His pair of naturally affectionate peach blossom eyes looked at her calmly without blinking.

Could it be that I was caught while peeping?

Perhaps sensing the guilty conscience of the person before him, Shao Yue lowered his head and curled the corners of his lips slightly, "I'm talking about this design drawing, do you like it?"

He openly showed his hand-drawn drawings.

Seeing the details of the drawing on the A2 paper, Liang Youwei couldn't help but open her mouth slightly: "Did you draw all this yourself?"

Isn't this image too exquisite? The hand-painted auditorium has clean, crisp lines. A high-hanging crystal chandelier depicting a flying bird gleams with dazzling brilliance. Lifelike roses bloom vibrantly atop a gradient of ice-blue "clouds." Doves, with golden olive branches in their mouths, can be seen scattered throughout the auditorium.

Furthermore, birds of similar or contrasting hues lingered around the various roses. A northern long-tailed tit nested in the heart of a large velvet rose, a flock of garland sparrowhawks slept among the stained roses, and jewel-like mountain bluebirds lingered amidst the layers of tulle-wrapped roses. Even the graceful rosebuds perched gracefully beside the warm-hued flower columns...

Liang Youwei couldn't help but let her fingers slowly fall on it, following the flowers, birds and clouds from far to near, and then touching the wedding altar at the deepest part, muttering to herself: "How beautiful."

Shao Yue didn't show any joy, but only asked earnestly: "Will you like it?"

Being pretty and being liked are two different things.

When he asked Liang Youwei about the wedding theme, she only said in general terms, "Let the birds return to the sea, and the sea be a sea of ​​flowers." She didn't give any specific categories of birds and flowers. Shao Yue could only design it based on his feelings and his guess about her preferences.

"I love it!" Liang Youwei's eyes widened. "Shao Yue, when did you learn to paint? I never knew you had this talent! You're amazing, Shao Yue, you're so amazing!"

She was surprised and delighted, her voice as clear and crisp as pearls falling on a jade plate. "Will the wedding scene look like this? Will there be lots of beautiful birds and roses? And these clouds, too? How do you make them?"

Seeing that she liked it without any reluctance, Shao Yue breathed a sigh of relief, his brows curved subtly: "The roses are all ready to be airlifted in, but the birds and clouds are just models. We've already made the samples. If you like them, we can confirm them and start mass production."

Liang Youwei grabbed his sleeve, and the distance between them was suddenly shortened: "When can I see it? I want to see it, I want to see it!"

The fragrant scent of lychees came over him. Shao Yue pursed his lips and held the pink marker under the table.

"...Tomorrow, okay?"

"Tomorrow? Of course!"

Liang Youwei was instantly overjoyed and moved closer to him. The sweet scent of lychees seeped deep into her skin. "Shao Yue, Shao Yue, do you have any other paintings? Can I see them? You're such a good painter, you must have painted more than one, right?"

The humidifier in the room seemed to be broken. The pure black calla lily-shaped machine was so quiet that Shao Yue felt dry mouth.

He frowned and said, "Hmm. Do you want to see the scenery or the people?"

"I'd rather see your designs, like our wedding rings."

Her tone was so casual that Shao Yue vaguely felt that they were really an ordinary couple.

"...Can you change it?"

The man spoke slower, "The wedding ring is very beautiful. I want to give it to you on your wedding day."

"Well, then what other design drawings do you have here..." Liang Youwei blushed and her heart beat fast, and she lowered her voice.

Shao Yue raised his eyes, his gaze deep and focused: "Do you want to see our wedding dresses and suits?"

-

Dinner at the Shao residence was scheduled for six o'clock. When the time came, someone called on the dedicated phone line.

"Is Weiwei hot? Why is your face so red?" In the living room, Song Yinbing, who had changed into loose clothes, looked worried. He touched the side of Liang Youwei's face and frowned. "It's so hot, do you have a fever?"

The person in question stuttered, following her movements and touching himself. The feeling of the silk fabric brushing against his cheek was very pleasant. "Is it very hot? I'm not sure... but I definitely don't have a fever. I, I might have a naturally high body temperature."

What a joke. I just asked Shao Yue, "Have you wanted to marry me for a long time?", but he didn't say a word. He just said, "Go downstairs quickly." I was blushing.

But I couldn't blame myself for being sentimental. Who could have imagined that all the wedding dresses she tried on a few days ago were designed by Shao Yue? And looking at the dates on the manuscripts, some were three years ago, some a year ago. That gorgeous and elegant empire dress was even drawn more than half a month ago, on the night of the two families' dinner.

These things can't belong exclusively to the legendary "white moonlight", right?

This thought flashed through Liang Youwei's mind, and her smile froze on the spot.

Yeah...how can it not be possible?

That was none other than "Bai Yueguang." Liang Youwei didn't have Bai Yueguang, but she had Shao Yue, her "cinnabar mole," so she knew very well the lethality of such a person.

Apart from Shao Yue, Liang Youwei clearly has many choices, clean, passionate, loyal, inseparable, but once Shao Yue appears, all others will dim. This is not because Liang Youwei loves him so much, but because of obsession.

Many people are haunted by their teenage obsessions for years, and some even struggle to forget them throughout their lives. Even if you know they might not be a good person, you would never say anything disparaging about them to another person.

Even a romantic and unrestrained man like Shao Yue, could he have room for such a person in his heart?

Song Yinbing's worry interrupted Liang Youwei's thoughts: "Why is your face pale again? Xiaoyue, what did you do today?"

Shao Yue secretly thought it was not good, but Liang Youwei spoke much faster than him. Although she was a little distracted, she did not forget to answer: "Mom, we went to the Puro Temple to worship Guanyin today."

Ms. Song paused, her tone unchanged: "Why would you think of praying to the gods when everything is fine?"

Is this feudal superstition passed on from my ex-boyfriend?

"Well, just asking for peace."

"...Well, let's eat."

Whatever, I didn’t raise Vivi myself, so let her be superstitious.

Because of the not-so-good guess just now, Liang Youwei was not in a good mood to eat. Shao Yue didn't seem to notice it. He quietly prepared the ingredients for her and answered his parents' questions about the wedding from time to time.

Shao Sheng is a chatterbox who always manages to make jokes during serious matters: "Brother, your cooking skills are pretty average right now. Look, this tripe is overcooked."

Shao Yue glanced over with a half-smile: "Well, your vision has become stronger."

"Hey, great minds think alike."

"Weiwei, have you decided on the bridesmaids and wedding candy gifts? The latter two are easy, but custom-making the bridesmaids' dresses will take quite a while."

Sister-in-law Zhao Lingti had a gentle smile and spoke in the same tone as always, making people feel like spring breeze.

Liang Youwei swallowed the beef roll and said, "The bridesmaids are my two sisters and Lingyu. The three of them decided on their own dresses. As for the wedding candy and souvenirs... they haven't decided yet."

"Why is it Lingyu? How old is she?" Zhao Lingti remained calm, but her hand holding the wooden chopsticks tightened, and she glanced at her parents-in-law.

Liang Youwei thought, since her "ex" could be Shao Yue's best man, it wouldn't be a big deal for her childhood sweetheart to be the bridesmaid: "It's okay, sister-in-law. Lingyu and I grew up together, and she's willing too."

Song Yinbing and Shao Feng looked at their son almost simultaneously, disapproving: "What did you think? You actually agreed to let your hidden rival be the bridesmaid."

Shao Yue was as calm as a chrysanthemum. "Lingyu is very well behaved and won't cause any trouble. We've almost decided on the best men: Shengsheng, Brother Liang, and Qin Zhen."

Hearing this, Shao Feng's eyes darkened. Why did he have to resort to such provocation? Aren't you afraid that someone will get angry and snatch your hand away?

I just hope that Ting'an can restrain Qin Zhen. After all, it's his sister's wedding.

Song Yinbing couldn't laugh. She took a few deep breaths to maintain her composure. "Let's not talk about this for now. Weiwei, are you free the day after tomorrow? Let's go pick out some souvenirs together and try some wedding candy. There are so many guests from both families, and it will take a while just to wrap them."

Liang Youwei calculated the date and blurted out, "The day after tomorrow? Mom, this doesn't seem to be working. I've made an appointment to go to the hospital for a checkup."

"examine?"

Oops, I spoke too quickly.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly racked her brains to think of an excuse, but Shao Yue calmly added, "Yes. Mom, Weiwei is pregnant."
