Shen Jiao hadn't returned to the Gu residence for a long time, which made Master Gu and Madam Gu very happy.
Not only did they prepare Shen Jiao's favorite grape jelly, but they also gave Gu An a double beating, leaving him feeling utterly defeated.
Whether it was her imagination or not, Shen Jiao could hear a kind of extremely cheerful rhythm in the beat of the sticks.
I'm ashamed.
She actually wanted to sing a song about good days?
Gu An ran wildly: ...I have to admire you two parents!
Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu chased after him frantically: It's our blessing to have such a resilient child like you!
"You've worked hard, Second Brother." After the welcoming ceremony, Shen Jiao helped Gu An, who had been forced to be the drummer, up.
Gu An's anger was completely dispelled by that soft and sweet "Second Brother," and he waved his hand dismissively: "It's not hard work, it's just a hard life."
Shen Jiao felt a pang of guilt and comforted him, "Second brother, think positively. When you close your eyes, you'll open them again, and a lifetime will pass quickly."
Gu An nodded: "Think more positively. If you close your eyes and never open them again, a lifetime has already passed."
Shen Jiao: "..." That makes so much sense, I can't refute it.
"Hey, Gu An, got beaten up again today? I guess I came at the wrong time." A malicious voice suddenly sounded from behind.
The use of the word "also" here is quite clever.
Shen Jiao asked in surprise, "Second Brother, does that mean you get beaten up every day?"
"How could that be?" Gu An snorted coldly, with a hint of smugness. "It's not every day, after all, my parents still need to rest one day a month."
Shen Jiao was silent for three seconds: "...How different is it?"
Gu An said in a serious tone: "The difference is huge. If you don't get beaten up one day a month, that's twelve days a year, one hundred and twenty days in ten years, and three hundred and sixty days in thirty years. Rounding up, that's a year!"
"..."
Since they were family, Shen Jiao didn't want to discourage her content and happy brother who was also miserable but still enjoying it. She looked at the person walking towards them from a distance.
Um.
It looks somewhat familiar.
Who is it?
I can't remember right now.
However, since it looks familiar, it means you must have seen it before.
If you've met but aren't very familiar with each other, it means you're definitely not related by blood. Usually, the only interaction is financial, and it's infrequent.
Therefore, there is only one truth!
Shen, the famous detective Conan, spoke with a resounding voice: "Boss Zhu! Long time no see, your not-so-great mala tang is still open?"
Shen Qingfeng: "...?"
Gu An: "...?"
"Gu An, it's all your fault! You scared my sister to death!" Shen Qingfeng said with a heavy expression.
Gu An rolled her eyes at him: "Bullshit, she clearly only went stupid because she saw you!"
Shen Qingfeng asked suspiciously, "Really?"
Gu An sneered, "Would I lie to you?"
Shen Jiao: "..." Don't you two ever consider the feelings of the person involved when you speak?
But that shouldn't be the case either.
Her reasoning process was rigorous, meticulous, and logically sound. Even her math teacher couldn't help but praise it as perfect, asking how it could be wrong.
How could it be wrong?
However, upon careful consideration, Shen Jiao realized that she couldn't be blamed for this.
She and Shen Qingfeng had only met a handful of times, you could count them on one hand.
When they first met, Shen Qingfeng was beaten black and blue by Ji Xiao's lackeys, and even his own father couldn't recognize him. So how could she, a contestant who had come from afar and had no brains, possibly recognize him?
In addition, there are just too many beautiful girls at Yanjiangtai.
Shen Jiao sighed.
She didn't want to forget her cheap third brother, but she really wanted to remember every pretty girl.
"Jiaojiao." Shen Qingfeng and Gu An rarely stood on the same side, looking at Shen Jiao with serious expressions: "Let's go with you to find Liang Heng, we really can't delay any longer."
Shen Jiao: “o(′^｀)o”
**
A major event suddenly occurred in the capital.
Overnight, without anyone noticing, the entire Sun family had their right hands chopped off.
Lord Sun's beloved daughter, Sun Mengyao, was even more pitiful. Not only were her hands and feet chopped off, but she was also pierced through the intestines and abdomen with a sharp weapon, dying instantly.
The body was hanging at the entrance of the Sun residence, and was discovered by a kind-hearted person who emptied the chamber pot.
Thus, the word spread from one person to two, from two to three, and from three to the entire royal city. In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, everyone knew about it.
This incident immediately caused a huge uproar in the royal city.
For a high-ranking official of the imperial court to suffer such a tragedy, is it a sign of distorted humanity or moral decay? In any case, the thieves are truly outrageous!
The Sun family was no longer as prosperous as it once was.
"Who is it! Who killed my Mengyao! Who injured my entire Sun family! I will make that person wish they were dead! Wishing they were worse than dead!"
Mr. Sun was furious and kicked over the table and chairs.
Madam Sun wrapped one hand in gauze and gently stroked Sun Mengyao's corpse with the other, her face contorted in a grotesque expression.
"Investigate! Investigate! Dig three feet into the ground, find that assassin and make him pay with his life! I want his whole family to be buried with Mengyao!"
Madam Sun was furious, but after the initial anger subsided, she was overcome with grief and threw herself onto her daughter's cold body, weeping bitterly.
"Mengyao, my Mengyao, you were so young, how could you leave your mother like this? Who was so cruel as to take your life?"
Madam Sun cried and broke down, even threatening to kill herself by banging her head against a wall. Lord Sun quickly grabbed his wife, saying, "Madam! Calm down. Mengyao is gone. If something happens to you, what am I supposed to do?"
"How can you expect me to stay calm? Mengyao died in such agony, how can you expect me to stay calm!" Madam Sun shouted hoarsely.
"There's something fishy about this." After all, Lord Sun was the head of the family, and even though his household was in complete chaos, he hadn't lost his most basic ability to think.
