Chapter 56
Sometimes, if you don't make an all-out effort, you won't know how relaxing it is to just lie there.
This was Shen Yue's most honest thought as she lay on the sofa in Shen Yichen's office.
She had never felt the sofa to be so comfortable before.
But before she could lie there for long, she was called up by Shen Yichen again, "Shen Yue, don't lie down. You'll fall asleep again in a moment."
Shen Yue got up with a completely dissatisfied look on her face, not understanding how Shen Yichen clearly had his head buried in documents yet it was as if he had grown eyes on the top of his head and knew what she was doing.
In the end, after a whole day, Shen Yue hazily followed Shen Yichen back home, only feeling that her bed looked even more loveable than usual.
Shen Yichen looked at Shen Yue, her face full of happiness as she was about to rush towards the bed, and grabbed her by the nape of her neck, speaking lightly, "Wash up first before getting into bed."
Shen Yue chose to give up struggling where she stood, using silence to tell Shen Yichen that her energy today was spent and she didn't want to move anymore, he could do as he pleased.
Shen Yichen held Shen Yue up and shook her twice, involuntarily lamenting, indeed, little sister was made of water, she could even shake and produce a curve.
If one ignored her current mischievous behavior, she could barely be described as cute.
Shen Yichen shook her a few more times but Shen Yue remained motionless, playing dead.
"Shen Yue, you're a person, not an animal. You need to learn to take care of yourself."
Shen Yue let her head droop as she immediately retorted, "Haha, big brother, I don't want to be human anymore!"
That arrogant attitude, that confident posture, successfully displayed two words: asking for a beating.
Slap, Shen Yue got a little smack on her bottom. At the same time, she heard a helpless voice from above her head, "Who did you learn that from?"
Shen Yichen was certain, definite, and positive that when he had come home yesterday, Shen Yue had not been like this.
After being admonished by Shen Yichen, Shen Yue became obedient and truthfully recounted her wondrous adventure today from start to finish.
To simply summarize, after Shen Yue had finished eating lunch and left the office, she had planned to wander around picking up trash here and there, to see if there was anything suitable she could give to big brother to make him happy.
As a result, when she was passing by the secretary's office, she just so happened to hear a loud and clear voice yell out, "I'm done with this world! Jojo―――ッ!!"
And so she memorized it.
When Shen Yichen had spoken just now, it just so happened to flip the switch on her memories, instantly making Shen Yue feel that this sentence was meant to be used in situations like this! So she translated it and said it out loud.
She had originally thought she would get affirmation from big brother, but unexpectedly, she not only didn't get what she wished for, she even got smacked with a big slap.
Shen Yue instantly felt a little aggrieved, but it was only for a moment. She was too tired to feel aggrieved.
After listening, Shen Yichen summarized where the problem lay - it must have been the anime-watching secretary, hmm, let's see if I pay you a visit later or not.
"Shen Yue, don't say that sentence again in the future."
Shen Yue oh-ed.
On one hand, she felt pained that the good words and phrases she had just learned today were denied. On the other hand, she tidied this sentence out from her brain and threw it into a corner to collect dust.
Seeing Shen Yue still drooping her head dejectedly, Shen Yichen sighed, "Just this once."
Shen Yue was puzzling over what he meant by that when she was lifted under both arms by Shen Yichen and brought to the bathroom.
Then she experienced the joy of a mom-style face washing for the first time.
It hurt so much.
Did big brother really wash her face as if she were a person?
After barely thinking for half a minute, Shen Yue bravely spoke up again, "Big brother, I don't want you to wash my face anymore in the future."
Shen Yichen had just been immersed in the sense of achievement from tidying Shen Yue up clean again when he heard this. His previously good mood vanished by more than half. "You had better not."
Shen Yue finally lay in bed and had a dreamless night.
Whereas Shen Yichen returned to his own company and started calling his secretaries one by one, quickly finding the culprit.
"Ye Xiaogang, you were watching anime in the office at noon?"
Ye Xiaogang was completely confused. Moreover, he couldn't make out any mood from Shen Yichen's tone. He could only tentatively reply, "President Shen, I rested for a bit during lunch break, what's wrong?"
"Even if it was break time, you shouldn't brazenly watch that kind of thing at the company."
Ye Xiaogang started feeling nervous. "Wha...what thing?"
Had he been exposed? No, that wasn't right. His stash was on his home computer. The folders were layered within layers. How could he have been exposed at the company? Impossible, impossible, don't scare himself.
Shen Yichen expressionlessly repeated himself once more, "I don't want to be human anymore."
Ye Xiaogang: ......
Fine, you're the boss, you must be right.
"President Shen, about this matter..."
"Don't let it happen again, or I'll dock your performance pay."
"Yes, President Shen! Understood, President Shen!"
...
At six thirty in the morning, Shen Yue was grabbed by Shen Yichen again, brought to go jogging, then to shower, eat, and brought along to the company together.
Then she started reading books.
She read a different book every day.
Shen Yue, an audiobook. Here to serve you diligently.
After this kind of life had repeated for almost a week, on a certain beautiful morning, Shen Yue opened her still blurry eyes.
Just as she was about to feel surprised that brother didn't seem to be tormenting her today, she heard the demonic whispers from beside her, "Your biological clock has adjusted properly now. I'll send you to school today. Starting tomorrow, you have to continue going to school."
Going to school?
Originally, they were two very painful words, but at this time, hearing them made Shen Yue feel it was like heavenly music to her ears.
Too great, she could finally stop seeing big brother's face.
Moreover, she could even take naps during class!
There's a saying that goes, if you want to dislike a song you really like, set it as your alarm clock ringtone.
Shen Yichen had been Shen Yue's alarm clock for a week and was fiercely resented by a certain someone.
* The main story, dog guts (enough words for today's chapter, don't mean to pad it)*
Pay attention! Adult readers can skip over the next part. But underage readers must take a look. I'm afraid of misleading the younger generation.
I didn't think of a way to tease people for the opening, and randomly used physics questions to pad the word count. Yet it exploded into so many little readers revealing their ages hahahaha. At the same time I also feel a bit panicked. I've discovered that many young ones are not very old. I'm very afraid that you all will be affected by some of the not so good things I've written in the book, as well as my crazy antics. I feel it's necessary to specially say something.
First are two words. One is lying flat. One is giving up.
The Baidu definition of lying flat is: Accepting the existing reality, no matter what actions the other party takes, remaining utterly unmoved internally, it's a kind of obedient mentality.
Giving up means: Because you can foresee that the outcome will be bad, you give up.
These two terms are very hot online now. After all, whether it's lying flat or giving up, they can perfectly give a reasonable explanation for human laziness. This way when you don't want to strive harder, you can just heartlessly say: I give up.
But that's not how it actually is. No matter if it's being a slacker or giving up, it's a choice that you make. The premise of you being able to make this choice is that you have the right to choose.
If you don't have the right to choose, then life will leave you with no flat surface to lie on, no giving up to do, because you don't have the ability to handle the problems that will arise after choosing to lie flat or give up.
What I fear is that the main character in my book lays around all day, not striving for improvement, and so you all will follow along laying down too. You can't do that!
The reason Sis Yue can lay around is under the premise that she has accepted the worst possible future, and understands that even laying around, nothing worse will happen. No matter if she gives up or acts like a slacker, life won't impact her.
But you all are different. If you don't take time now to improve yourselves, in the future you will certainly spend huge amounts of time coping with a life that you don't want.
Then there's some truths that sound like chicken soup. Your own mediocrity needs your own effort to change it. Don't let cowardice negate yourself.
If you run fast, it's the wind at your ears. If you run slow, it'll be idle chatter.
Maybe you all feel I'm nagging, but the truth is just like this. I hope every young one can overcome yourselves and become the best you can be! Go go go!!!!
Main story over. Next I will continue to go crazy as always, disregarding everyone's feelings. It's your own fault for clicking in to read this book and even reading up to here. You deserve this hahahahahahahahahaha! (Screaming)
(Putting a motorcycle wheel here, equally running over every adult who didn't heed advice and still read. To tell the truth, do you like me?!)
