Chapter 281
It was the week before Shen Yue and Shen Hui were about to start school, and it just so happened to be the 18th birthday of both of them.
Shen Yichen had originally prepared to give Shen Yue and Shen Hui the grandest coming-of-age ceremony, inviting all the prestigious figures in City B to come and see what the two young ladies of the Shen family were like.
But after calming down, Shen Yichen rejected this idea. Although the Shen family had many children, when it really came down to it, the only people who had connections with the characters of City B were just him and Shen Shuangyi.
According to Shen Hui's personality, calling these unimportant people over would only make her irritable, turning a good thing into a bad thing.
Shen Yichen thought about it for a long time, and after communicating his ideas with Si Chengyou, they finally decided that the coming-of-age ceremony for the two sisters would be at home, celebrated together with their brothers.
However, since they were getting together, they had to have some fun. Si Chengyou gave Shen Yichen several game suggestions for them to play and explained the rules in detail, enlightening Shen Yichen.
Shen Yichen also invited Si Chengyou to come along, after all, Si Chengyou had also raised children in the Shen family for three years, but Si Chengyou declined.
"It's not appropriate for me as an outsider to participate in your family gathering, but I will deliver the gift on time. I hope Mr. Shen can help pass it along."
Shen Yichen had sincerely invited him, but seeing Si Chengyou insist, he didn't say anything more.
Soon it was Shen Yue and Shen Hui's birthday.
Considering that Shen Yue was someone who didn't like physical activity, no outdoor activities were arranged. It was simply a brutal gift attack!
How extravagant could the gifts from the five brothers be?
Just as he woke up and opened the bedroom door, Shen Yue was hit in the head by the pile of gifts at the door.
Before Shen Yue could react, covering her forehead, the auntie next to her had already started waving her arms and shouting, "Congratulations! Congratulations!"
Shen Yue: ...
Seeing these gifts, Shen Hui knew what was going on. As she reached out to soothe the injured forehead of Shen Yue, she asked, "Why were these gifts piled up directly at our door?"
The butler next to her immediately explained, "To celebrate you two coming of age, the five young masters of the family prepared 300 gifts each for you, totaling 1500 gifts. You can choose to open any of them at any time, or choose not to open them at all.
Once a gift is opened, you have to guess which young master sent the gift. If you guess wrong, the young master who sent out that gift will be punished."
Shen Hui immediately grasped the key point, "What are the punishments?"
The butler tapped open the app on his tablet. It was densely packed with punishment items, ranging from plucking a leg hair (Note: nose hair can be used as substitute if no leg hair) to shouting "Long live Princess Shen Yue/Shen Hui" 100 times. Everything imaginable was included.
Shen Yue saw one of them was the celebrant having to perform a sexy dance for the birthday girl.
She imagined her upright eldest brother doing a sexy dance, which was a bit hard to watch. For a moment she couldn't tell whether this was punishing the dancer or the watcher.
"Do the drawn punishments really have to be carried out?" Shen Yue looked at the butler.
The butler nodded, "Young Master Shen specifically appointed 10 bodyguards to ensure the smooth progression of the punishments."
At this time, Shen Yue had mixed feelings. She felt that this approach was too hardcore and not like something her eldest brother would normally do.
As Shen Hui had already started unwrapping the first gift, which was a ... very boldly colored but made of luxurious materials hair clip.
In one sentence, this thing wavered between tacky and dignified.
Seeing something like this, Shen Hui's first reaction was the flashy Shen Yichen. As everyone knew, Shen Yichen loved gold the most.
Her eldest brother was very nice to her, and she didn't want to deliberately punish her eldest brother, so she immediately pronounced clearly, "This was from eldest brother."
As soon as Shen Yue heard this answer, she knew it was over.
Sure enough, the butler immediately took out the app and had Shen Hui start tapping. The wheel on the tablet started spinning as the butler stated the correct answer, "This was from Fifth Young Master."
When Shen Hui heard it was Shen Wu being punished, it was fine. After all, he was a pervert, so punishing him a few times didn't matter.
The needle stopped, displaying the punishment method of the punished person writing the birthday girl's name over his heart, to always remember this person who had wrongly guessed his gift.
Everyone: ...
This punishment, in various senses, for everyone, caused harm.
If such a punishment existed, one would have to think carefully even about intentionally saying the wrong name.
Seeing that Shen Hui's hand had already started unwrapping the next gift, Shen Yue reminded at the side, "If it looks expensive but the style is a bit strange, it is generally a gift from Fifth Brother. When he does experiments, he firmly believes expensive materials have an expensive point, so when choosing gifts, he also follows the principle of the more expensive the better.
Although the gifts eldest brother gives are also expensive, eldest brother will also consider practicality and appearance at the same time."
After listening to Shen Yue’s words, Shen Hui understood a little. The box she unwrapped next contained a gun, a pink model gun.
This was even simpler. Shen Hui once again confidently answered, "Third brother."
"Wrong answer, the correct answer is Fourth Young Master. Please select a punishment."
Shen Hui was a little stunned, suddenly feeling this game was not simple. Her fingertips lightly tapped the screen, then the wheel spun, stopped, and the screen displayed the punishment.
[The punished person is required to sing the theme song of Lonely Warrior as background music while the birthday girl unwraps gifts]
Before she could accept this fact, not to mention the punishment itself, just the gun, how could it not be from Third Brother?
Shen Yue explained again, "Judging from the color, it was hand-painted. The workmanship of the gun is too rough, and there is a part that is placed slightly off. Third brother would not make such a mistake, it can only be Fourth Brother.
Fourth Brother prefers to give gifts that require time and effort to make by hand, rather than gifts that were directly purchased."
Shen Yue also casually picked up a gift and unwrapped it. It just so happened to be a tin of cookies.
Shen Hui asked, "Is this also from Fourth Brother?" The tin holding the cookies was from home instead of store-bought cookies, so it must be homemade.
To her surprise, Shen Yue shook her head again, "No, this was made by Second Brother. In the past when Second Brother was blocked at the door by sasaeng fans and scared to go out, he learned to make snacks by himself at home. When he makes snacks, he marks them - circles mean he is in a good mood, crosses mean bad mood."
Shen Hui took a closer look and there really was a circle.
Damn, this game is difficult.
At this time, Shen Jize was also brought over to carry out the punishment.
From when Shen Hui’s hand touched the next gift to start unwrapping, to when the gift was completely unwrapped, he had to sing Lonely Warrior the whole time.
[I love you walking the dark alley alone, I love your unyielding look—]
Actually, the singing was fine.
The main issue was Fourth Brother was tone deaf.
Under such pressure, Shen Hui could only pray for a normal gift to come.
When she opened it, it was a box of heart-shaped chocolates.
As soon as Shen Hui peeled off the candy wrapper, she discovered the circle on the chocolate and immediately answered, "Second brother!"
This time, she was finally right.
The Shen brothers watched the gift unwrapping scene on another screen, waiting for the unknown punishment that would descend at some point.
After watching for a while, they simultaneously felt that Shen Yue really understood them.
However, after just a little longer, Shen Hui would understand them too.
Shen Yichen watched Shen Hui on screen quickly memorizing the characteristics of several brothers that Shen Yue mentioned, and suddenly understood the meaning of this game.
The Si family who could play this kind of game was also an interesting family.
On screen, Shen Yue unwrapped a small golden frog, casually stuffed it into her pocket while expressionlessly answering, "Eldest brother."
"Correct answer!"
Shen Yichen nodded in satisfaction. He knew that no one could refuse the toad, and if there was, it was because the toad was not made of gold.
