Chapter 20: The melodramatic white moonlight... then the eldest brother will cry and kneel down...
Ling Shu instantly regained her senses.
She is very sensitive to change, especially changes around her home.
In the apocalypse, any change could mean deadly danger.
She immediately jumped out of bed, walked quickly to the French windows, and warily surveyed the ground outside Xiaoming Building.
When she finally got a clear view of the entire exterior of Xiaoming Building, she seemed to freeze in place, standing there dumbfounded.
A moment later, a gasp rang out from the room.
"Ah! What happened?!"
How come the lawn outside has all turned into a vegetable garden?!
The fields are crisscrossed and orderly, with different kinds of vegetables planted in separate areas, like neatly arranged square formations.
Pebbles paved the way, connecting the different vegetable plots, like delicate lace embellishments on this verdant canvas.
Along the path are irrigation ditches, with clear stream water flowing merrily in all directions.
Further away were a dozen or so greenhouses, and now the servants were carrying pots of strawberries into one of them. The strawberry seedlings in their hands were thriving, and many of them already bore large, red strawberries.
Ling Shu was completely dumbfounded.
She drew the curtains again, remained silent in the darkness for two seconds, and then suddenly pulled them open again.
Nothing has changed; it's still a vegetable garden.
Pull it up again, then pull it open again.
...or rather, a vegetable garden.
Okay, it's not that she's dreaming, the outside really has turned into a vegetable garden.
At this moment, Ling Shu felt a little lost.
She just got drunk and took a nap, how did everything change?
At this moment, she felt like she was playing a planting game. She had just picked up a hoe and stepped out of the beginner village when she was immediately hit by a level-up gift pack that fell from the sky, instantly reaching the maximum level and graduating in one step.
My feelings were incredibly complicated.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Shu decided to call the system to find out what had happened.
"Doggy, are you there?"
Sheng Yun Shen answered in her mind's ear, "I am here."
After Ling Shu woke up, his consciousness was "pulled" back to him, and he immediately heard Ling Shu's exclamation.
What exactly happened last night?
Sheng Yunshen thought for a moment and answered truthfully: "After the host facilitated the cooperation between the Sheng family and Li Yin, the Sheng family was very grateful and discussed how to repay you. Butler Wang volunteered and arranged manpower overnight to prepare a perfect vegetable garden for the host."
Although he couldn't see the exact appearance of the vegetable garden, judging from the shock Ling Shu had just exclaimed, Uncle Wang must have done a good job.
"..."
Ling Shu silently typed six dots, "Done, perfect vegetable garden?"
You know what, really you know, look at this plan, look at this design, look at this layout.
It's actually quite perfect.
But that's not the point!
She sighed, a hint of complexity in her voice: "The seeds I ordered haven't arrived yet..."
Sheng Yun Shen was silent for a few seconds, then tentatively asked, "Host... doesn't like it?"
This was also what he was worried about last night.
He was afraid that the Sheng family's "acting on their own initiative" would make Ling Shu unhappy.
"Of course not."
Ling Shu immediately denied it.
This is the perfect vegetable garden!
How could she not like it!
She just...
"I just..."
Ling Shu thought for a moment and then truthfully described her feelings.
"I'm just... really touched."
Her gaze lingered outside Xiaoming Building, reluctantly taking in every vegetable patch, every irrigation ditch, and every path.
Even if she spent two whole months on her own, she couldn't have done it so perfectly.
Ling Shu's voice was soft: "Doggy, no one has ever cared about me like this before..."
Before the apocalypse, her parents died early, and she worked hard to make a living from a young age, experiencing all kinds of coldness and wickedness in society.
After the apocalypse, it becomes a hell of mutual scheming and infighting, where people erect high walls of defense against each other, and even fathers and sons, husbands and wives, may turn against each other at any time.
To be cared for, to be valued...
It was a completely unfamiliar feeling.
"Doggy, I... am very happy."
Ling Shu raised her hand to touch her chest, feeling the warmth spreading through her body.
Her lips gradually turned up, revealing a radiant smile.
"I'm very happy."
In the darkness, Sheng Yunshen listened to Ling Shu's words, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.
My heart, which had been filled with anxiety all night, can finally be at ease.
As long as she's happy, that's enough.
All of the Sheng family's efforts and Butler Wang's long nights of work were worthwhile.
He was infected by Ling Shu's emotions and immersed himself in the same joy.
In the ward, the gossipy caregiver, Xiao Jia, was wiping Sheng Yun Shen's hands. His gaze inadvertently swept over Sheng Yun Shen's face, his movements paused slightly, and he let out a strange "Eh."
There seemed to be a slight curve at the corner of President Sheng's mouth.
Mr. Sheng, are you smiling?
Xiao Jia rubbed his eyes, thinking he had misread it.
"Xiao Yi! Xiao Yi! Come and see!"
"What happened? What happened?!"
Xiao Yi was eating breakfast at the door when he heard his exclamation. Startled, he rushed in, still clutching half a steamed bun in his hand.
Xiao Jia pointed at Sheng Yun Shen's face, his voice cracking with excitement: "Look, isn't President Sheng smiling!"
Xiao Yi hurriedly stepped forward and looked down to examine the object carefully.
A second later, he was so startled that his fingers loosened, and half of the steamed bun fell completely to the ground.
"...It looks like...it looks like she's laughing!"
-
After composing herself, Ling Shu stepped out of Xiaominglou and onto the cobblestone path beside the vegetable garden.
Butler Wang appeared out of nowhere, following behind her and enthusiastically introducing her to the place.
"Miss Ling, this is the leafy green vegetable area, mainly growing cabbage, bok choy, lettuce, and other leafy green vegetables. These vegetables have a very short growth cycle, and can be harvested in one to two months. The consumption of seeds is relatively large, so in order to ensure a sufficient supply of seeds, I have prepared a separate temperature-controlled storage room on the basement floor of Xiaoming Building."
"That's an orchard area, where some easy-to-care-for fruit trees are planted, including apples, pears, peaches, and so on."
"Further on, there's the tuber plant area and the greenhouse area..."
Many vegetable gardens were planted with ready-made vegetables, with water droplets still dripping from the leaves, looking very vibrant.
Especially the bok choy, the leaves are so tender you feel like you could squeeze water out of them.
Ling Shu couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Butler Wang noticed Ling Shu's gaze and immediately offered her a basket with a smile, saying, "Miss Ling, you can pick these vegetables anytime and give them to the servants at Xiaominglou."
"OK."
Ling Shu didn't stand on ceremony, took the basket, and immediately picked a few handfuls of fresh bok choy.
Butler Wang watched from the side, his heart filled with pride.
He was about to try and sell Ling Shu some fresh strawberries when his phone suddenly rang. It was the security office of the Sheng family manor calling.
When Butler Wang answered the phone, his expression changed slightly and his voice rose a little after hearing the security guard's report.
"He came back alone? What happened?!"
Ling Shu sensed something was wrong, stopped picking the fruit, and looked up at Butler Wang.
Butler Wang asked a few more questions, then hung up the phone, sighed deeply, and apologized to Ling Shu: "I'm sorry, Miss Ling, something has suddenly happened, I must take my leave."
Ling Shu straightened up: "Uncle Wang, what happened? Is there anything I can do to help?"
Butler Wang didn't hide anything from her and sighed again, "The gatekeeper just reported that the eldest young mistress returned alone and seemed to be in a bad mood. I have to go and see what's going on."
The eldest young mistress refers to Su Ruomeng, the wife of Sheng Yunqi, the eldest brother of Sheng Yunshen.
Su Ruomeng and Sheng Yunqi have been together since their student days. After a six-year courtship, they got married and have been married for five years now. They have a very good relationship and are always seen together wherever they go.
The two went to Haicheng on a business trip a few days ago to visit a major client of the Sheng family. They should have returned together, but Su Ruomeng returned first.
This has never happened before in recent years.
No wonder Butler Wang was a little flustered.
Ling Shu thought for a moment and then offered, "Uncle Wang, I'll go with you to take a look."
Butler Wang did not refuse, and the two left together.
-
Ling Shu and Butler Wang found Su Ruomeng outside of Bu Xian Xian.
Bu Xian Xian is also a detached villa, slightly smaller than Xiao Ming Lou, and it is the residence of Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng.
Its original name was Xiaoxuelou, but after Su Ruomeng married into the family, Sheng Yunqi changed the name of the villa to "Buxianxian".
Because Su Ruomeng preferred the Chinese garden style, Sheng Yunqi personally designed and supervised the transformation of Xiaoxuelou, which was originally a Western-style building, into a Chinese-style villa, and the outer courtyard was also completely renovated into a Chinese garden style.
Su Ruomeng was sitting in the corridor by the lotus pond, looking down at the newly blooming purple lotus flowers in the pond. Her back view looked somewhat melancholy.
Seeing this, Butler Wang frowned, looking nervous, as if he didn't know what to say.
As a professional housekeeper, his complete ignorance of matters of the heart is probably his only weakness.
Ling Shu patted his shoulder reassuringly and stepped forward to ask, "Sister-in-law, why did you come back alone?"
She called her "sister-in-law" so naturally, without the slightest hesitation.
Su Ruomeng turned around and saw Ling Shu, smiling gently: "It's Xiao Shu..."
She was a classical beauty, with eyebrows like distant mountains and eyes like autumn water. At this moment, her eyes were filled with a hint of sorrow, which added to her delicate beauty.
She smiled and explained, "Yunqi has other things to take care of and will stay in Haicheng for two days. I... I'm a little tired, so I came back first."
After she finished speaking, she coughed lightly twice, and she did look a little tired.
After hearing this explanation, Butler Wang frowned even more deeply.
Something's definitely wrong.
He was anxious and kept trying to wink at Ling Shu with his eyes, his eyes almost twitching.
As Ling Shu thought about it, a sense of worry also welled up in Sheng Yun Shen's heart.
He could only hear sounds and couldn't see anything, so he could only ask Ling Shu to confirm: "Host, Sister-in-law Sheng's reaction is strange. Did she and my brother have a fight?"
Ling Shu quickly replied, "Yes."
Upon hearing Ling Shu's answer, Sheng Yun Shen paused, stopping his half-finished suggestion. "Host, you already know what's going on?"
"Yes, I know."
Ling Shu carefully examined Su Ruomeng, a hint of appreciation and pity for the beauty flashing in her eyes.
If Sheng Zhujun is a magnificent peony grown in a wealthy land, Su Ruomeng is more like a secluded orchid in a deep valley, so beautiful that she seems untouched by worldly affairs.
Unfortunately, in the original book, Su Ruomeng's future fate was also tragic...
Ling Shu's tone held a hint of emotion, "Gouzi, why is the Sheng family so unlucky? One thing after another keeps happening. It seems that person has already appeared."
Sheng Yun Shen also wanted to know why, so he immediately pressed, "Which person?"
Ling Shu replied, "Of course, it's the culprit who interfered in the relationship between my eldest brother and sister-in-law, the eldest brother's white moonlight. The destructive power of a white moonlight, those who know, know."
Sheng Yun Shen typed out a string of question marks: "???"
Wait, where did his older brother get his "white moonlight" (ideal love interest)?
However, Ling Shu did not answer him again.
She took the initiative to step forward and started chatting with Su Ruomeng.
"Sister-in-law, are you feeling unwell? Should we call a doctor to take a look?"
Su Ruomeng's long eyelashes trembled slightly as she shook her head and refused, "No need, I just have a little indigestion, I'll be fine after a rest."
Su Ruomeng suddenly remembered, "During my trip to Haicheng, I visited a master Suzhou embroidery artist and brought back many embroidered pieces that he made by hand. They can be used to make decorative paintings or clothing. I was originally planning to send them to Xiaominglou later. Since you're here, why don't you come back with me to take a look?"
Ling Shu was stunned.
...The Sheng family members were all the same; they accepted her without reservation and treated her well.
Qin Hong and Sheng Zhujun were like this, and so was Su Ruomeng.
They are such a wonderful family.
Thinking back to the original plot, it makes me want to complain again.
My sister-in-law is beautiful and gentle; she's such a wonderful person. My brother, that blockhead, how could he be so easily fooled by another woman? He couldn't even tell when my sister-in-law was in a bad mood.
Ling Shu's lips didn't move; these words were her true feelings.
Butler Wang, who was present, couldn't hear it, but Su Ruomeng and Sheng Yunshen did. Having witnessed it before, they didn't show too much surprise.
But a hint of sadness crept into his eyes.
Sheng Yunshen was even more confused.
Did his older brother, that love-struck fool, really fall for another woman?
He had already tried, and only Ling Shu could hear his voice.
The Sheng family couldn't hear Ling Shu's conversation with him.
Unable to communicate directly with Su Ruomeng, he could only suppress his anxiety and observe how things progressed.
[But sister-in-law, don't be too sad. Your brother will regret it soon. Right now, taking care of your health is the most important thing; health is the most valuable asset.]
Su Ruomeng's eyes trembled slightly again.
She grabbed Ling Shu's hand, interrupting Ling Shu's thoughts, and said with a smile, "Xiao Shu, come back with me and take a look. Those embroidered pieces are all of the finest quality."
"good."
Ling Shu nodded in agreement and left with Su Ruomeng.
However, she was cautious and secretly gestured to Butler Wang before leaving, indicating that he should look at his phone.
Butler Wang took out his phone and saw the message sent by Ling Shu.
"Call your older brother immediately and tell him that your sister-in-law is not feeling well."
Butler Wang thought the same thing, and he immediately called Sheng Yunqi.
"Young Master, when will you be back? Young Madam doesn't seem to be feeling well, she doesn't seem to be in good spirits..."
-
Ling Shu spent the entire afternoon at Bu Xian Xian.
She first selected a few nice embroidered pieces, and then Su Ruomeng called over a maid to take her measurements and make a few more suitable cheongsams.
Busy with work, Su Ruomeng had no time to think about anything else, and her mood seemed to have improved considerably.
Ling Shu saw this and didn't want to spoil the mood, so she smiled and cooperated throughout.
After taking the measurements, Su Ruomeng remembered something and excitedly led Ling Shu to her dressing room, where she took out more than a dozen jade bracelets and compared them on Ling Shu's wrist.
"This spring dress is nice; it looks good on Xiaoshu."
"Icy purple jade is also quite beautiful."
If Ling Shu hadn't insisted on declining, Su Ruomeng probably would have given all of these bracelets to Ling Shu in one go.
Like the other members of the Sheng family, she was extremely warm and unreserved towards Ling Shu.
The two chatted and laughed, and time passed quickly. By afternoon, when the sun had already set, Ling Shu remembered the fresh vegetables that had just been planted outside Xiaoming Building and invited Su Ruomeng to pick vegetables and have a clear broth hot pot together.
Fresh vegetables picked straight from the field are served in a rich broth made from old hen, pork bones, and rice wine, and then thin slices of beef and fish are added for dipping.
Su Ruomeng had never tried this way of eating before. Despite not having much of an appetite, she was persuaded by Ling Shu's enthusiastic promotion and came to Xiaominglou together.
Both of them carried baskets and walked along the path by the field, slowly selecting the vegetables they wanted to cook for hot pot.
When the basket was half full, the "male lead," Sheng Yunqi, finally appeared.
He looked travel-worn, carrying only a briefcase, his suit was wrinkled, and his tie was loose. It was clear he had rushed back immediately after receiving a message from Butler Wang.
As soon as he got off the bus, he turned around and looked around anxiously, calling out, "Ruomeng, Ruomeng? Where are you, Ruomeng?"
Su Ruomeng was bending over picking tomatoes in the greenhouse when she heard Sheng Yunqi's voice. Her hand holding the tomatoes trembled slightly.
She hadn't expected Sheng Yun to get up so quickly, and her eyes lit up with surprise and delight.
His voice was filled with self-reproach and concern, each word striking a chord in Su Ruomeng's heart.
Su Ruomeng couldn't help but put down the tomato in her hand, stand up, and look expectantly in the direction from which the sound came.
Judging from his voice, he was already very close to her.
She opened her mouth, about to answer.
Just then, another sweet, delicate female voice rang out.
“Brother Yunqi, you haven’t rested at all on your way back, and you don’t look well. Why don’t you sit down and rest for a while? I’ll help you find your sister-in-law.”
Upon hearing this voice, all the joy on Su Ruomeng's face vanished, replaced by shock and disbelief.
Sheng Yun Shen in Ling Shu's mind was also stunned.
His older brother... actually brought another woman back?!
Only Ling Shu remained calm, as if she had expected all of this.
With her eyes lowered, she focused intently on putting the freshly picked millet peppers into her vegetable basket.
The woman's voice suddenly rose, trembling slightly: "I'm not tired, Brother Yunqi, I'm not tired at all. Seeing how worried you are about Sister-in-law, I, I also... well, I'll go with you to find Sister-in-law!"
She spoke in a cryptic, hesitant manner, her words brimming with tender affection.
Su Ruomeng frowned, a lump forming in her throat. She couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her lips and cough lightly twice.
Sheng Yunqi's voice stopped abruptly, followed by the sound of running footsteps.
Soon, he appeared at the entrance of the greenhouse.
Upon seeing Su Ruomeng, Sheng Yunqi's eyes lit up, and a bright smile bloomed on his face: "Ruomeng!"
His handmade leather shoes were covered in mud and grass, but Sheng Yunqi didn't care; his eyes were only on Su Ruomeng.
Seeing how concerned he was, Su Ruomeng's eyes flickered slightly, revealing a hint of emotion.
At the same time, a woman in her twenties also appeared at the entrance of the greenhouse.
She was wearing a white cotton dress, her hair was tied in a ponytail, and she wore only light makeup, making her look like a shy and delicate little white flower.
Looking at the soil on the greenhouse floor, she frowned slightly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes. After a few seconds, she reluctantly tiptoed in.
Upon seeing this woman, Su Ruomeng's expression quickly turned cold, and the emotion she had felt earlier vanished in an instant.
She brushed away Sheng Yunqi's concerned hand, her voice cold and hard: "What are you doing here, Miss Bai?"
Butler Wang happened to appear at the greenhouse entrance. Upon seeing the woman in the white dress, he looked surprised: "You are... Bai Yue?"
The woman in the white dress stopped in her tracks, her expression instantly shifting from disdain to a smile as she turned to Butler Wang, her expression nostalgic: "Uncle Wang, it's me, I'm back."
Sheng Yunshen, who had been paying close attention to the conversation, frowned slightly.
Bai Yue...
He remembered the name.
The previous butler of the Sheng family was surnamed Bai. He resigned ten years ago due to illness, and then the deputy butler, Wang, took over the Sheng family.
Bai Yue is the daughter of Butler Bai.
In the past, during winter and summer vacations, Butler Bai would bring his daughter to the Sheng family. Sheng Yunqi and Sheng Yunshen didn't have the temper of young masters, so they treated her as a playmate.
Could Bai Yue be the "white moonlight" that Ling Shu mentioned?
Just because someone happens to have the surname Bai doesn't mean they're the "white moonlight" (a term used to describe someone who is considered unattainable in the Chinese zodiac).
While he was still confused, Sheng Yunqi outside took the initiative to explain: "Bai Yue and I met by chance at the airport, and we happened to be on the same flight."
“We chatted on the plane, and she said she hadn’t been back to the Sheng family home for a long time and missed it very much. I thought it was on my way anyway, so I invited her to stay for a couple of days.”
Su Ruomeng chuckled lightly: "What a coincidence. If I remember correctly, when we bumped into Miss Bai at the restaurant in Haicheng a few days ago, didn't Miss Bai say that she wanted to stay in Haicheng to look for a job?"
She deliberately emphasized the word "chance encounter".
Sheng Yunqi scratched his head, as if he had just remembered this, and asked Bai Yue in confusion, "Oh right, you're not looking for a job in Haicheng anymore?"
Bai Yue blinked, her expression instantly turning somber: "I studied domestic management, but there are very few suitable positions in Haicheng... so I thought I'd come to Beijing to try my luck."
Su Ruomeng narrowed her eyes, clearly not believing her explanation.
Unfortunately, the straightforward Sheng Yunqi completely failed to notice his wife's reaction, instead joining in the fun: "Household management? Do you want to inherit Butler Bai's profession and become a professional butler too?"
Bai Yue nodded softly: "Yes, I've always admired my dad since I was little. He also supports me studying this major."
"I see. It's a pity Uncle Bai has passed away, otherwise we should have invited him back to the Sheng family for a visit..."
Sheng Yunqi seemed to be deep in thought, and glanced at Butler Wang beside him.
Butler Wang tensed up, suddenly having a bad feeling.
Just as Sheng Yunqi was about to say something, Su Ruomeng raised her hand to cover her lips and coughed lightly a few times.
His attention was immediately drawn to her. Remembering the real reason he had rushed back, he turned to look at Su Ruomeng: "Ruomeng, do you have a cold? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"
Bai Yue had been watching Su Ruomeng's reaction closely, and immediately said in a wronged tone, "Sister-in-law, I... I didn't originally plan to come back with Brother Yunqi. Maybe I should move out, since I'm just an outsider..."
It's as if Su Ruomeng didn't want her to stay here.
Even though Su Ruomeng hadn't said anything, she had already started to act out her own story.
Sheng Yunqi, on the other hand, seemed completely oblivious, focusing solely on observing Su Ruomeng, trying to figure out what was wrong with her.
He was so focused that he seemed not to notice Bai Yue's sarcastic tone.
Steward Wang stood there, looking left and right, his heart filled with worry.
He understood exactly where the problem lay.
Simply put, Sheng Yunqi is a clueless, clueless straight man who has no idea how serious "bringing a woman home" is.
It's estimated that when they were in Haicheng, it was Bai Yue's sudden appearance that made Su Ruomeng feel down and return to Beijing ahead of schedule.
The scene was utter chaos.
Butler Wang opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
There are no tutorials or verifications for matters of the heart, so he really couldn't help.
Ling Shu sat to the side, resting her chin on her hand, watching the whole thing unfold.
Wow, the classic melodramatic romance drama trope of the "white moonlight" (idealized love interest) causing a scene has become a reality!
Su Ruomeng and Sheng Yunqi both heard this sentence.
Su Ruomeng's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she turned her face away in evasion.
Sheng Yunqi looked completely bewildered and scratched the back of his head in confusion.
As a straight man who never reads romance novels or watches romance dramas, he didn't understand what "white moonlight" meant.
Of all the "people" present, only Sheng Yun Shen remained the calmest.
He was used to deep thinking, and within a few seconds, many ideas had flashed through his mind.
Beneath the surface of this farce, he noticed more clues.
For example, since Butler Bai left his job, he has not had any contact with the Sheng family.
If I remember correctly, Butler Bai should have taken Bai Yue abroad to immigrate and disappeared completely.
Sheng Yun Shen didn't even know when Butler Bai had passed away.
Given the Sheng family's generosity, Butler Bai must have considerable savings, enough for him and Bai Yue to live a comfortable life for the rest of their lives.
Ten years later, why did Bai Yue, who should have been abroad, suddenly appear beside Sheng Yunqi?
Everything about it is suspicious.
Sheng Yunshen had reason to suspect that Bai Yue's appearance was deliberately arranged by someone to send her to Sheng Yunqi's side.
As for the purpose, it is obvious that the person behind it wants to drive a wedge between Sheng Yunqi and Su Ruomeng, and create a rift within the Sheng family.
Bai Yue had only been there for a few minutes when she started causing trouble.
It's just that his older brother is too straightforward and can't see through Bai Yue's ulterior motives.
No sooner had Jian Yicheng finished dealing with the payment to the supplier than Bai Yue arrived.
They gave the Sheng family absolutely no chance to breathe.
His brain raced as he considered how to communicate with Ling Shu in a way that would allow her to uncover the conspiracy behind the scenes and expose Bai Yue's true intentions without arousing her suspicion.
While he was busy thinking, his elder brother and sister-in-law were not idle either.
Su Ruomeng closed her eyes slightly and calmly rejected Sheng Yunqi's concern: "I'm fine."
Sheng Yunqi, still confused, continued to press, "Ruomeng, what's wrong with you? Don't try to tough it out, tell me quickly."
He tried to reach out and take her hand, but Su Ruomeng avoided him.
Sheng Yunqi's hand froze in place.
Su Ruomeng's voice trembled slightly: "Now that you've brought Miss Bai back, then... take her to rest first."
Sheng Yunqi asked in confusion, "Ruomeng, what's wrong with you today? Are you angry with me? What did I do wrong?"
Under his persistent questioning, Su Ruomeng sighed helplessly, glanced at Bai Yue who was watching the show from the sidelines, and said in an increasingly cold voice, "How could you be wrong? Of course you're not wrong."
Tsk tsk tsk.
Ling Shu shook her head, feeling as if she were watching a Qiong Yao drama.
The female lead is full of grievances but has no way to speak, while the male lead does terrible things without realizing it.
The mistress is watching closely from the sidelines, ready to seize any opportunity to enter.
When will we ever be able to understand each other using this kind of chat?!
Ling Shu clenched her fingers regretfully, her gaze shifting between Sheng Yunqi and Bai Yue, wondering which one she should knock out first.
As the "sister-in-law" of the male and female protagonists involved, she had no intention of standing idly by.
Ling Shu simply doesn't like to talk too much nonsense, and she has no interest in acting with a green tea bitch.
Her logic was simple: if she didn't like someone, she'd just knock them out.
Or should we just knock them both out at once?
Let them be dizzy for three hours first, and then we'll talk after she and her sister-in-law finish their clear broth hot pot.
Ling Shu's fingers twitched slightly, her gaze lingering on the back of Sheng Yunqi's neck, a hint of eagerness in her eyes.
Sheng Yunqi suddenly felt a chill run down the back of his neck and instinctively shut his mouth: "?"
Before he could figure out where the chill came from, he heard Ling Shu's thoughts.
[Aren't you arguing too soon, brother and sister-in-law? When we're surrounded by zombies, your "white moonlight" will secretly run off with the food and jewels, and even let a few zombies in while she escapes. At that point, brother will be crying and kneeling, slapping himself in repentance.]
Sheng Yunqi: "?"
This time he understood; "white moonlight" must refer to Bai Yue.
So Bai Yue would take away the food and jewelry, and even let in mutated zombies?!
Sheng Yunqi: "!!!"
