Chapter 85

Shen Yue was very annoyed.

Ever since she returned to school, she hadn't dreamed of Eldest Sister for a long time.

She was sleeping as usual, sleeping in on weekends until she woke up naturally, but her dreams were becoming less and less, and Eldest Sister rarely appeared anymore.

However, Shen Yue still didn't doubt her ending for some reason. She just had a feeling like that.

Shen Yue picked up her phone and glanced at the time. Very good, today she would eat breakfast and lunch together again.

After going downstairs, she saw that Fourth Brother and big brother were already waiting at the dining table. Shen Yue walked to her seat as usual and sat down.

The other two didn't start eating until Shen Yue arrived.

Shen Yue had asked them before why they didn't eat first but had to wait for her to arrive before eating. Big brother's reply was that if they didn't wait for her and let her eat alone, she would only eat half before stopping.

Shen Yue neither agreed nor disagreed. She didn't feel like her appetite had changed at all.

The three of them ate quietly. Suddenly, Shen Jize's spoon touched the edge of the bowl and made a crisp sound. Shen Jize was stunned and reflexively went to cover his eyes while looking for paper. But when he found the paper, he realized that he hadn't cried today.

Shen Yue was nibbling on corn while staring at him.

There was also Shen Yichen's smiling expression.

Shen Jize silently put the paper back and acted as if nothing had happened before returning to his seat.

By now, Shen Yue had swallowed what was in her mouth and asked Shen Jize, "Isn't Fourth Brother going back to school?"

If she remembered correctly, her fourth brother shouldn't have graduated yet. In her memories, her fourth brother had always been doing research projects at school and rarely came home.

She didn't expect him to stay for over a month this time.

Shen Jize wiped his mouth and said in a low voice, "I finished studying the required curriculum in advance. Several professors have invited me to join their teams, but I can't decide which one, so I wanted to come back and ask Big Brother."

At this point, Shen Yue was curious not about Big Brother's final decision, but...

"Does Fourth Brother have to join a team? Why can't you just lie at home?"

Shen Yichen, who was about to join the conversation: ...

Shen Jize, who seemed to have realized something: ...

Hearing Shen Yue's words, Shen Jize opened his mouth, wanting to say something to Shen Yichen, but was interrupted by Shen Yichen.

"Little Four, don't learn from your sister." Shen Yichen had just said it casually. After all, one Shen Yue in the family was enough.

One could still be dragged around, but more would definitely not work.

Unexpectedly, Shen Jize, who usually listened to him, refuted him in a small voice after hearing this.

"Little sister is very good."

Little sister would wipe his tears for him, not ridicule him, not look at him strangely, and would... play with him and introduce her classmates(?) to him.

In short, little sister was very good.

Shen Yichen looked at the two and sighed, "You two..."

For a moment, Shen Yichen didn't know what to say either, but he felt that it was not bad for the two to be like this.

Shen Yue asked again, "So when is Fourth Brother going back? Can't he just stay at home?"

Before Shen Jize could think again about what Shen Yue had just asked, the dining room door was suddenly opened, followed by an emotionless voice, "So you guys are all here. Fourth Brother, why didn't you tell me when you were not at school?"

Shen Yue noticed that the previously relaxed Shen Jize tensed up instantly upon hearing this voice. Shen Yue turned around and saw an expressionless boy standing not far away, still holding a scalpel in his hand, which even had fresh blood dripping down it continuously.

This was obviously her Fifth Brother, Shen Wu.

Just like her, he was also unlucky to have parents too lazy to think of a name and just randomly took a character that sounded the same as his birth order number.

But Shen Yue thought about it and felt that Fifth Brother was probably a little more unlucky than her. After all, her Yue character still had the meaning of magnificent beauty, radiance, preciousness and magnificence.

The Wu character of Shen Wu's name inevitably made people suspect that this was just a random character picked that sounded the same as five.

Shen Yichen frowned, walked over to Shen Wu, took away the scalpel in his hand, and patiently exhorted, "Don't take the scalpel out of the dissection room. You forgot again."

Shen Wu was completely unapologetic and replied matter-of-factly, "I forgot. And my knife has a name, called Nine Encounters Child."

Seeing Shen Wu's appearance, Shen Yue strangely felt that the temperament of Fifth Brother was very familiar.

Then she suddenly realized that this was her! No wonder he looked so familiar.

After Shen Wu handed the scalpel to Shen Yichen, he continued the topic from before. He walked past Shen Yichen and stared at Shen Jize to interrogate him, "Fourth Brother, I'm asking you, how come you didn't let me know when you came home?"

Only then did Shen Jize rub the corner of his clothes and whisper in reply, "I said it in the group chat."

Shen Wu was still expressionless, but his words carried an inexplicable sense of oppression, "You know I don't look at the group chat."

"Alright, little Wu. Fourth Brother is back for something important, and you never bring your phone into the dissection room, so he couldn't reach you either."

"What does me being unreachable have to do with him? As long as I can reach him, that's fine."

Shen Yichen understood Shen Wu's personality. He was inherently unable to understand how some things could hurt others. To get him to understand other people's emotions required far more time than normal people.

The current Shen Wu was already much better than before.

Shen Jize also knew this. According to Shen Wu's personality, his attitude towards him now was still relatively gentle. But he didn't know why, seeing his little sister sitting on the side suddenly made him feel wronged.

The tears that hadn't fallen earlier now started dripping down steadily.

Shen Yue pushed her untouched glass of milk to Shen Wu's side, and went to get paper to wipe Shen Jize's tears.

It was also at this time that Shen Wu's gaze fell on Shen Yue for the first time.

He opened his mouth and said the first sentence to Shen Yue, "Shen Jize is my experimental subject. Don't touch him."
