"Sure, where shall we go to talk? I was just about to go for a run, do you want to come along?"
"No, thank you," Shen Zhirou gestured to Wen Yan, "I'm still holding a juice. Come with me."
Speaking of this glass of juice, Wen Yan felt something was off.
The main reason was that she was all too familiar with the scene of standing at someone's door late at night with a glass of juice.
If she wasn't mistaken, Shen Zhirou should have come from the doorway of Shen Jinghe's room.
However, her and Shen Zhirou's room was on the third floor, while the second floor was the territory of the brothers Shen Jingxiu and Shen Jinghe.
Therefore, it is absolutely impossible for Shen Zhirou to have passed through here.
Could it be that she went to deliver juice to Shen Jinghe on purpose?
But thinking about it, it's not really that strange.
Although Shen Zhirou is Shen Jinghe's younger sister, she has been away from home for many years, and the relationship between the siblings is not very close after her return.
It's understandable that she wanted to get closer to her older brother.
With these thoughts in mind, Wen Yan had unknowingly followed Shen Zhirou to the third floor.
Shen Zhirou stopped at the door of her own room, and Wen Yan naturally stopped as well.
Just as Wen Yan was about to speak, Shen Zhirou let out a cold laugh.
"Wen Yan, is it funny?"
"..." Wen Yan looked completely bewildered. "What are you talking about? What's funny or not? I'm totally confused right now."
"Heh, not bad acting, no wonder you got chosen by the director. Do you think it's great that someone wants the cake you give out, but you'd just trample my juice under your feet if no one wants it?"
Wen Yan: "…………" Although she was still completely bewildered, she seemed to be able to guess what had just happened.
It turns out that she really intended to give this glass of juice to Shen Jinghe.
However, Shen Jinghe rejected her.
-
Three minutes ago.
Shen Zhirou knocked on Shen Jinghe's door with a juice in hand.
She smiled sweetly and explained her purpose to Shen Jinghe, hoping that he would accept the juice she offered.
However, Shen Jinghe refused her request, saying that he would not drink sugary drinks at night.
But through the half-open door, Shen Zhirou could clearly see the cake that was almost finished, the cake that Wen Yan had brought over.
However, compared to the glass of juice in her hand, the cake clearly had more calories!
But she couldn't force Shen Jinghe to accept the juice she had made herself, so she could only smile and take two steps back.
Just then, she saw Wen Yan appear at the bottom of the stairs. She bent down, seemingly picking something up from the ground.
Then she looked in her direction and suddenly laughed.
Aside from mockery, Shen Zhirou couldn't think of any other reason for her gentle smile.
-
Right now.
Wen Yan had already roughly guessed the cause and effect of the matter.
With the wish that harmony in the family brings prosperity, she began to explain to Shen Zhirou.
"You must have misunderstood me, Zhirou. I had no idea what happened just now. I was wearing headphones and watching videos. As for you saying I laughed, that's because I was watching a funny video. If you don't believe me, you can look at my phone. I hadn't even closed the app yet, and I paused the video."
Shen Zhirou still sneered: "Stop acting. Don't I know what kind of person you are? You came all this way today, including giving up going to work at the company, just to please your parents, right? Your parents seem to buy into your act, but Wen Yan, I don't."
You need to always be clear about your own identity. In this family, I am the only one who is truly related to my parents by blood. You are just an orphan they picked up, so don't even think about taking my place.
I heard you packed your suitcase when you left that day. Didn't you just say you wanted to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry? If you really want to be independent, then get lost and don't come back! Otherwise, I won't let you get away with it.
Wen Yan: "…………" Shen Zhirou's face has changed too drastically, she's practically a completely different person.
But to say she's a completely different person is an understatement; judging from her demeanor, it doesn't seem like this is the first time she's made such harsh remarks.
But the key is that the original owner of this body did not have such memories in her mind.
Wen Yan was a little flustered for a moment and remained silent.
Shen Zhirou moved closer to her at this moment: "You haven't forgotten the feeling I gave you, have you? If you're going to get lost, get lost, understand?"
As Shen Zhirou spoke, she raised her hand and lightly patted Wen Yan's shoulder twice in a contemptuous manner.
Now Wen Yan's mind was even more confused.
It wasn't until Shen Zhirou opened the door, went inside, and then slammed the door shut with a loud bang that Wen Yan came back to her senses.
What the heck? She rubbed her head, feeling that the more she thought about it, the more a certain part of her mind went blank.
But you still need to run; maybe after exercising, your mind will become clearer.
After two laps, Wen Yan returned to her room in disappointment.
She simply took a shower, lay on the bed like a corpse, and tried to sort out the original owner's memories.
While she was getting ready, Wen Yan suddenly sprang up from the bed with a somersault.
With great effort, she lifted the mattress and quickly found a notebook underneath.
The original owner's memories told her that this was a diary.
Once she got her hands on it, Wen Yan couldn't wait to turn to the last page.
This page was quite shocking to Wen Yan.
Because that page was filled with Shen Zhirou's name.
The key point is that it wasn't written in the usual way; it was written in red pen and outlined.
Those in the know understand that the box surrounding a person's name is called a 'death sign', indicating that the person is dead.
The pages filled with the names of the dead were also covered with countless scratches from sharp objects like razor blades.
What deep-seated hatred must there be?
However, the memories left to her by the original owner contained no deep-seated hatred.
Thinking of this, Wen Yan quickly turned to the first page of her diary.
The first date in this diary is four years ago.
"The Shen family's real daughter has returned. I'm so happy for my adoptive parents. They gave me so much love and a comfortable life, and I will definitely repay them. I want to get along well with Zhirou and be good sisters with her. She's worked so hard all these years, and what I enjoyed rightfully belonged to her should be returned to her."
'Zhirou and I get along very well. Today is a sunny day, what a lovely day.'
"It's late at night, and I think I've discovered a secret. Zhirou was sleepwalking! She almost strangled me; I couldn't breathe for a moment. Thankfully, she woke up eventually. But she asked me not to tell our parents. She said she'll lock the door when she sleeps from now on. She said she sleepwalked because of a nightmare, and that she's been living a pitiful life away from home all these years. I promised to keep this little secret. It's a little secret between my sister and me."
