Chapter 2013: It’s a bit fierce, but it doesn’t matter

Cheng Xiaoyu held the big stone, looked at Shi Chenyuan next to him, and said with a smile: "Impressive, right?"

Shi Chenyuan stared at her for two seconds, then looked at the motionless fish. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he nodded silently: "As expected of you, Cheng Xiaoyu."

Cheng Xiaoyu pondered Mr. Shi's expression and his words, then looked at the large stone in his hand, which was still covered with fish scales.

"Boss Shi, do you think I'm too cruel?"

She realized belatedly that she should have compassion for the little creatures and release them if possible, even though she felt that catching fish to eat was the most primitive survival skill of humans and there was nothing wrong with it.

But in front of her boyfriend, she should at least act like a kindhearted little cutie. Seeing the fish die, she should cry, instead of having this expression of satisfaction as if she had killed her enemy...

Just when Cheng Xiaoyu was feeling annoyed, Shi Chenyuan smiled and pinched her face.

"I don't think you're cruel. This fish must have escaped from the upstream pond through the drainage pipe. I was originally raising it for food. Besides, when the dry season comes soon, the stream will dry up. If you don't catch it, it will die because the stream has dried up."

Hearing this, Cheng Xiaoyu felt less guilty.

In fact, she didn't feel guilty. She was just afraid that Shi Chenyuan would think that she was not as gentle and lovely as other girls. She probably couldn't even lift a stone and would cry when she saw a fish die.

"I'm afraid you'll think I'm tough..."

Shi Chenyuan smiled and said, "Yeah, he's quite tough."

Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't help but shrink his neck, and his whole body was shorter. He said hesitantly: "Actually, I also have a love for small animals. When I was a child, I also rescued an injured sparrow..."

Shi Chenyuan rubbed her head and said something that comforted her greatly.

He said that whether a person is loving or kind cannot be judged from just one side.

He has met many girls who seem kind. They are so gentle that they would not even step on an ant to death, but that does not mean they are really gentle.

Because he had also seen with his own eyes that girl ordering her driver around and scolding him just because he was five minutes late. Of course, this was also her behavior in private, but it was accidentally seen by Shi Chenyuan.

Cheng Xiaoyu frowned after hearing this: "Isn't this hypocrisy and inconsistency?"

Shi Chenyuan nodded and said that he knew a girl who released all the spiders that fell on her body in front of him.

Not harming innocent animals is of course a good thing, but the girl who released the spider was racing with someone at night and hit a person who was getting off the night shift. She didn't even provide assistance and just drove away.

Cheng Xiaoyu frowned again: "Boss Shi, you know a lot of girls!"

"Hiss, I'm talking to you nicely, why are you focusing on this?"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "And they are all white lotus flowers."

"Are you still listening to me?"

"Listen, listen, Mr. Shi, you go ahead and I won't interrupt you."

Shi Chenyuan was so annoyed by her that he said unhappily: He had seen too many hypocritical people anyway. Even if they were not hypocritical, they would behave like fake people in order to maintain the image of a lady from a noble family or a daughter of a wealthy family.

But this was the first time he met someone as real as Cheng Xiaoyu.

At least he has never met a girl who throws stones at fish in front of him. It is a bit bold, but he prefers the natural way.

Since he wanted to catch fish to eat, he could just catch the fish and knock it unconscious. He wouldn't be acting on the level of human nature.

Cheng Xiaoyu was deeply moved after hearing this, with tears in her eyes, and she held Shi Chenyuan's hand. Finally, someone understood her.

Yes, yes, she doesn't know how to pretend. You can say she is greedy, but you really can't say she is not kind.

Cheng Xiaoyu threw away the big rock, threw herself into Shi Chenyuan's arms, and hugged his waist: "Mr. Shi, you are so nice..."

Shi Chenyuan snorted coldly, "Why, now you don't say I'm powerful anymore?"

Cheng Xiaoyu nuzzled Shi Chenyuan's chest and shook her head: "I know you're doing this for my own good, just like my dad."

"...What kind of analogy are you using?"

Cheng Xiaoyu chuckled: "I mean, I'm lucky. I met someone who loves me like my parents."

Shi Chenyuan sighed helplessly. Sometimes the words she said could make people angry to death, and sometimes they could make people feel sweet inside.

And her mood changed so quickly. He was just thinking about how to coax Xiaoyu if she was always unhappy. Now it seems that he was worrying too much.

While hugging her, he found that Cheng Xiaoyu had grabbed the string inside the brim of his hoodie and was pulling it out.

"What are you doing?"

"Mr. Shi, we can use this to string the fish together so it's easier to carry."

Shi Chenyuan: "..."

He was still stuck on the previous topic, while Cheng Xiaoyu was already thinking about how to take the fish back to cook.

Since her attention was so easily distracted, Shi Chenyuan finally understood why she had poor grades in school.

It’s not what she said, that dancing practice delayed my studies, it’s because I couldn’t concentrate!

Afterwards, Shi Chenyuan pulled out the string from his hat, helped her string the fish on, took it to the water to rinse it, and returned to the villa with Cheng Xiaoyu, preparing to hand it over to the kitchen to make a West Lake vinegar fish for dinner.

The two men sent the fish to the kitchen and did not return to the vineyard.

Shi Chenyuan called his father and explained the situation.

He thought that he and Xiaoyu would be scolded by their father for withdrawing from the competition without permission, but his father told him that there was no need to report such a small matter and that he could take Xiaoyu wherever she wanted to play.

Shi Chenyuan asked again, what should we do with the grapes that have not been harvested.

His father scolded him again. It was not easy for Xiaoyu to come here. Did he really want to treat her as a coolie? She was just participating for fun.

The father also said that he should not be so rigid about everything and should relax a little, otherwise Xiaoyu would find him boring.

Shi Chenyuan thought to himself, I have been disliked.

But then again, why didn't he dare to relax and was cautious in everything? It was because his father acted like a hands-off boss and handed over a lot of the group's affairs directly to Shi Chenyuan to manage.

The father is free and unrestrained, so the son has to shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Shi Chenyuan sighed secretly. He was betrayed by his father. What could he do? He was helpless.

After Shi Chenyuan and Cheng Xiaoyu withdrew from the competition, they returned to the suite to take a shower. After the shower, Cheng Xiaoyu planned to go to the kitchen to see how the chef cooked West Lake Vinegar Fish.

But Shi Chenyuan locked the door and carried Cheng Xiaoyu directly into the bedroom.

Cheng Xiaoyu was shocked: "Boss Shi, why are you saying that in broad daylight?"

Shi Chenyuan chuckled coldly: "When you got angry at me just now, I wanted to teach you a lesson."

Cheng Xiaoyu begged for mercy repeatedly: "Mr. Shi, I was wrong, really wrong."

But it was too late. She was like the fish that Mr. Shi had caught. He soon ate her until not even a bone was left...
