Chapter 155 The Taste of Childhood

The crying of a child was so piercing that it could pierce through clouds and split rocks. Shen Yu heard it in the corridor. He pushed open the door of the private room and saw Yue Zizhao crying loudly into Yue Zifeng's ears. Yue Zifeng blocked his ear holes with two fingers. The brother and sister were in a stalemate.

Several people nearby smiled and coaxed her: "Ms. Yue, come and have some candy."

Yue Zizhao: "I don't want to eat!"

"How about a watermelon smoothie? It's delicious."

Yue Zizhao: "I don't drink!"

"Zhao Zhao, be good. Sister will show you an animated film, okay? Do you want to watch Peppa Pig or Sailor Moon?"

Yue Zizhao: "I'm not good! Why should I be good?"

The whole gang was defeated.

At a reunion with old classmates, the Yue couple went on a trip to Switzerland. Yue Zifeng took Yue Zizhao with him wherever he went these days, and the relationship between the siblings was on the verge of breaking down.

Yue Zizhao was notoriously difficult to appease, and no one at the table could remain calm.

The waiter at the door took Shen Yu's coat and hung it up. He walked in and asked, "What's wrong?"

As soon as Yue Zifeng put his fingers down, Yue Zizhao leaned over and howled in his ears, so he quickly blocked them again.

Yue Zizhao shouted: "I want to raise pigs!"

Someone was almost going crazy because of this young lady's annoyance. Hearing this, he said, "It's just a pig. Just let her raise it. Buy her a mini pink pig."

Yue Zifeng was furious: "She wants to raise wild boars! On the way here, she encountered several wild boars from nowhere. She had never seen wild boars before, but she insisted on taking them home to raise. Even if she wanted to raise a pig for meat, I could build a pig pen for her to raise it, and then she could kill it and eat it when it was fat. How can you raise wild boars!"

A group of people looked at each other, speechless.

Shen Yu waved to Yue Zizhao, who was crying heartbrokenly, and said, "Come here."

Yue Zizhao walked towards him, cried and climbed onto his lap.

"Why are you crying?"

His voice was gentle and always unhurried. Yue Zizhao's crying finally changed from the earth-shaking howling to a gentle sobbing version.

Yue Zi blocked his ears so as not to hear anything. He watched Yue Zizhao stop crying in his arms after a while. Shen Yu used a towel to wipe her face. She was so well-behaved that she was like a completely different person from before.

He let go of his ears. Yue Zizhao stopped making a noise and yelled at him, "Brother, I'm hungry."

Yue Zifeng put his hands on his waist, puzzled: "How did you coax him?"

Shen Yu folded up the handkerchief and put it down: "Talk about reason."

"Did I say anything bad to her or did I not reason with her? I don't understand. Why can you listen to my words but not to yours? I don't speak Chinese."

Yue Zizhao's mood turned from cloudy to sunny, and he came down happily to eat. Everyone at the table breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a half sigh and half compliment: "It's up to Shen Yu to coax the child."

"I remember when we played basketball, you always brought your sister with you, and she would sit by the stands and wait for you. She was so well behaved."

Shen Yu smiled, gently turned the white porcelain teacup with his fingertips, and slowly became distracted.

Yue Zizhao's personality is completely different from Shuang Xu's when she was a child, but when Shen Yu looked at her, he still thought of Shuang Xu when she was eight years old.

At that time she called him brother, and came to him when she was afraid or when she felt wronged.

At that time, she only had eyes for him.

Yue Zifeng called the manager and asked the kitchen staff to make a special Benedict egg for Yue Zizhao, which she loved. The egg had to be runny, the bacon had to be fried until crispy, and the bread had to be muffins. After giving the instructions, he looked back and found that Shen Yu's seat was empty.

"Hey, where are the others?"

"Gone." The old classmate who was speaking sighed, "We only get together once a year, and he left after just sitting for a while."

The GPS system found a new bug. Feixue and the others were working overtime tonight. The office on the first floor was brightly lit. Shuangxu was busy working and didn't notice the darkening night outside the window.

The big-eyed girl at the front desk knocked on the door, brought in a thermos bucket and placed it on Shuang Xu's desk.

"Mr. Song, take a break and have some sweet soup."

Shuang Xu was busy with a critical moment, and she didn't hear what she said at all. She didn't even pay attention to what she brought. She said casually: "Put it there first, I'll take a look later."

The receptionist left and the office became quiet again. She continued to work hard, and it was half an hour later when she finished the work at hand.

She rubbed her neck, looked away from the computer, and was puzzled when she saw the thermos on the table.

She opened the thermos, which contained pears stewed in peach gum, tremella and wine, with a layer of dried osmanthus sprinkled on the surface.

She picked up the spoon and took a sip. The pear soup had become cold because it had been left for too long, but the taste was very familiar.

She likes sweets and Shen Yu made this for her when she was a child.

Shuang Xu drank a few more sips, put down the spoon, stood up and walked out of the office. The girl at the front desk was not there, so she asked Xiao Liao, "Where did you get the sugar water?"

Xiao Liao, who was about to fall down due to sleepiness, immediately woke up: "Sugar water? Where is sugar water?"

Forget it. Shuang Xu was about to turn around and go back when the girl at the front desk came back from the bathroom and asked her hurriedly, "Boss Song, are you done? The sugar water will get cold if you don't drink it now."

"Did my brother send it?"

"Yes."

It’s really Shen Yu.

"Where are the others?"

"They've already left." The girl said, "Mr. Shen saw that you were busy, so he didn't disturb you."

"oh."

Frost Preface stood there for a few seconds, and at that moment a breeze from the past still blew through his heart.

She hasn't seen Shen Yu since she came back from Nanjiao.

When they met last night, he asked someone to send an umbrella but didn't show up to say hello. Today he came to deliver pear soup but still didn't invite her.

After returning to the office, Shuang Xu finished drinking the sugar water and sent a message to Shen Yu: [I have finished drinking the sugar water, thank you brother]

Shen Yu replied to her: [Don’t work too late, get off work early]

Shuang Xu: [Got it]
