Chapter 118 What Went Wrong
"Big Brother" Shen Qingqian was a little confused. What did Shen Xiao want to talk to her about?
At this time, Liang and Shen Zhe were already fast asleep, and Shen Xiao's shouting did not wake them up.
"I have something to tell you, can you come out for a moment?" Shen Xiao's voice was also very low, as if he was afraid of waking others.
Shen Qingqian quickly got up, straightened her clothes and went out.
None of their rooms have doors, and the entrances are now blocked by debris.
"Brother, what's the matter?"
Shen Xiao's face was a little unclear under the moonlight, but Shen Qingqian could feel his guilt and uneasiness.
"The picture that Third Brother Cheng gave me today was drawn by you, right? My second brother and I heard it that day." Shen Xiao whispered.
Shen Qingqian was slightly stunned. Shen Xiao and Shen Jun actually heard her conversation with Cheng San that day. Why didn't they ask her before?
"I'm sorry, Sixth Sister. Big Brother stole the credit from you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been able to go to the Arsenal, but you have to go with the others to open up the wasteland."
Shen Xiao said this with great guilt, wishing he could return this opportunity to Shen Qingqian immediately.
After hearing what he said, Shen Qingqian's originally uneasy heart suddenly became confused.
She thought Shen Xiao was going to ask her why she was able to draw that picture, but it turned out that he couldn't sleep because he felt so guilty about stealing her credit.
This man is so honest that no one has the heart to lie to him.
But you still have to lie.
Shen Qingqian interrupted him, "Brother, don't think like that. I didn't tell you directly at the time because I didn't want people to know that I drew the picture! Now that the credit has fallen on you, it's the best outcome. I'm so happy that I can't blame you."
If she had known there were such benefits, she would never have let Cheng San take the blueprint to make a spiral fan.
"But" Shen Xiao wanted to say more.
Shen Qingqian raised her hand to stop him. "Brother, think about it. I'm a woman, not even an adult yet. If I make something like this, let alone if anyone will believe it, even if they do, is it really a good thing for me?"
What's more, they are still fugitives now, and Shen Qingqian doesn't think it is a good thing to behave too outstandingly.
Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, and began to think from Shen Qingqian's perspective. The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became. His expression turned stern. "This matter must not be known to outsiders! I'll go and tell Third Brother Cheng a few more words tomorrow, and tell him not to tell anyone."
"I'm glad you understand, brother," Shen Qingqian smiled slightly, "It's getting late. You have to report to the Military Equipment Bureau tomorrow, so go back and get some rest."
There are no strict time requirements for those who are pioneering the land. They just need to complete the pioneering tasks on time. However, Chen Xiao is a government employee and has to go to the Arsenal to work every day.
"Well, I was distracted earlier. You should go to bed early too."
The two said goodbye to each other and went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, Shen Yong couldn't wait to run outside to see.
He stepped down, and suddenly a big footprint appeared on the mud last night.
Shen Yong quickly retracted his foot and hurriedly shouted towards Shen Qingqian's house, "Sixth sister, come and see, is the mud broken?"
Shen Qingqian didn't sleep well last night and was just woken up by Liang. When she heard Shen Yong's shout, she immediately woke up, quickly put on her clothes and ran out.
When she saw the footprints on the ground, she patted her chest and said, "Brother, why are you scaring me? It's just a footprint. The fact that you can make a footprint means the mud isn't dry yet. Wait a little longer, and there won't be any footprints when it's dry."
But considering the time, there shouldn't be such deep footprints. What went wrong?
