"Gu Xiao'an, ask me quickly, ask me quickly, ask me what good news I just heard!" Shen Qingfeng persisted.
Gu An shook his head: "I won't ask, Shen Xiaoqingfeng."
He deliberately emphasized the smaller characters.
Shen Qingfeng grabbed his sleeve and shook it like a pretzel: "You want to ask, you want to ask, as long as you ask, I'll peel melon seeds for you for half a month!"
"Three months."
"One month!"
"make a deal."
Shen Qingfeng: "..." It seems like I've been tricked?
Gu An ate too many melon seeds, and his front teeth started to ache. For the past two days, he had been forced to drink chrysanthemum tea to cool down. Someone offered to help him peel the melon seeds, so although he lost half of his happiness, he still got the other half, which was a good deal.
"Alright, Shen Xiaoqingfeng, I, Gu An, will mercifully ask you, what did you just hear?"
Shen Qingfeng immediately said, "Gu Xiao'an, I, Shen Qingfeng, am telling you in a merciful way, Shen Yu has fallen in love with someone else and is throwing a tantrum to marry Princess Han Ya's fifth brother, who has turned to ashes!"
Gu An's eyes lit up: "Really? She actually has that kind of awareness."
"It really is." Shen Qingfeng took out a string of one-cash coins and reluctantly took one out.
"After all, we were siblings. She's going to be buried and marry a ghost, so it wouldn't be right not to send her a gift. I'll go buy some incense, candles, and paper money for her dowry later!"
**
Shen Jiao was completely unaware of this; she was working hard in the second round of the game against a seemingly serious and proper young woman.
Because of Chinby's blunder, she kept a serious face and dared not laugh.
A smile can ruin someone's future.
My apologies, my apologies.
From this moment on, she is no longer the approachable and charming empress; she is a cold and aloof beauty who never smiles.
Shen Jiao quietly devised her persona, keeping a straight face and constantly reminding herself that she couldn't laugh, couldn't laugh, and if she really had to laugh, she had to laugh in a sophisticated way.
For example, the standard 45-degree Nike bezel.
Only in this way will the flavor be strong enough.
We made the first move. As soon as we heard the announcement, "The match begins," Shen Jiao immediately narrowed her eyes, placing a piece with a mix of disdain, indifference, and sarcasm.
It exudes sophistication.
The little eunuch standing behind me, specifically recording the chessboard: "..."
Your Majesty, he's just the firstborn son; there's no need for such a grand spectacle.
Shen Jiao doesn't care about any of that. Life imitates art, and art imitates life. No one can shake her independent persona. She'll just keep acting.
She waited quietly for her opponent to make their move.
Half an hour passed.
Continue waiting for the opponent to make their move.
A quarter of an hour passed.
Continue waiting for the opponent to make a move.
Shen Jiao waited so long she felt like mushrooms were growing all over her body. She patted the little spider that had spun a web on her shoe and suddenly felt like she had been waiting for a once-in-a-millennium event, but never got to experience it again.
Something's not right. This girl, even if she's going to put on an act, does she have to stay completely still forever?
Shen Jiao decided to lower herself slightly and softly called out, "Opponent? Please respond if you hear me."
"Girl?"
"Xu Xian?"
"Bai Suzhen?"
"...Cousin?"
The girl's voice reached my ears, but it sank without a trace, and no one answered.
Tsk tsk, this opponent is indeed extremely aloof. Frustrated, Shen Jiao could only ask the little eunuch beside her who was recording the chessboard, "What's wrong with her?"
The young eunuch examined her for a moment, then remained silent for three seconds before saying, "She's asleep."
Shen Jiao's face darkened: "...Why didn't you say so sooner?"
She yelled like an idiot for ages, doesn't she have any shame?!
The little eunuch complained, "Besides fish, I've never seen anyone sleep with their eyes open."
Shen Jiao: "..."
The audience was excessively noisy, like a swarm of mosquitoes buzzing incessantly in a trio, or rather, a professionally timed trio.
Shen Jiao truly didn't know how Xu Xian's rival could sleep so soundly under such circumstances.
No matter how I call, I can't wake him up.
It would be great if there was a dormitory supervisor at this time.
The young eunuch sighed, "Since we can't wake him up, we have to forfeit the competition."
"Wait a minute." Shen Jiao raised her hand to stop her. "Let me try again."
"Trying it won't necessarily work. He's already hoarse from shouting, but he'll still remain motionless," the little eunuch thought to himself.
Everyone shook their heads.
I've seen people who can sleep, but I've never seen anyone sleep like this.
How could you possibly wake him up?
Shen Jiao shook her head meaningfully. These people are indeed too young and haven't experienced the harsh realities of society. Let's see how she shocks the world.
She cupped her hands into a megaphone shape and shouted, "Daddy!"
The sleeping "Xu Xian's" opponent immediately jumped up: "Hey! Dad's here!"
She didn't understand what her father meant.
But the deep-seated human instinct to take advantage of any opportunity forced her to awaken!
Even the blood boils
Everyone: "..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
It was eerily quiet.
Shen Jiao smiled smugly. She knew that there was nothing that "Dad" couldn't solve.
If so, then two sounds.
"Now that you're awake, let's continue playing chess."
"No!" Xu Xian raised his hand and said, "I concede."
Shen Jiao was full of questions: "Why?"
Is it because she endured humiliation and hardship that I feel so righteous to repay her?
Xu Xian's opponent, unable to bear it any longer, reached out his devilish hand and touched Shen Jiao's fluffy head. So soft, he touched it again.
She said, "I don't know why, but when you call me 'Dad,' I feel like I have an obligation to give in to you. Child, this is probably destiny. Be good, call me again? I'll give you my life."
Shen Jiao: "Please listen to me...~%?...;#*'☆&℃$︿★?"
**
Thus, Shen Jiao advanced again simply by calling him "Dad".
