Chapter 77 (2/2)

Such a bright red! Shen ge was really formidable!

Lin ShuYi looked at Tang Shuang coldly. “Done looking?”

Tang Shuang ’s mouth reacted faster than his brain, so he said, “No.”

Two seconds later, he realized what he said, and quickly took to his heels, half backtracking, half running, all the while correcting, “Enough, enough, really enough!”

Another half hour passed, and Lin ShuYi finally finished all his work. Dialing up Shen Fu, he informed him to tell everyone it was time to eat.

Shen Fu agreed earnestly, but then added in one last line, “Not red anymore?”

Before his words even finished, the line had already cut off.

Shen Fu put his phone in his pocket, thinking that no medicine could save him now. Teasing Lin ShuYi even a little bit was enough to engulf his heart in a warm, fluffy cloud, and even when he was scolded or glared at, he was still unreasonably happy. There was definitely no medicine that could save him now.

Efficiency surprisingly fast, it wasn’t long before Shen Fu got everyone present, enough for two full tables. Everyone was chatting and laughing as all the dishes were brought to the tables, and even if they were all technically customers, they didn’t seem like customers at all. But that wasn’t strange either, because except for the Shen family, everyone else who came were all close friends of Old Man Yang. They all knew about the situation between Lin ShuYi and Shen Fu, so they weren’t really strangers at all. More like one big family.

Old Man Yang was very happy. Regarding the relationship between Lin ShuYi and Shen Fu, Old Man Yang never deliberately told anyone else. He knew that just because there were things he could accept himself, it didn’t mean that others would be the same. But although it was a mystery where everyone heard the news from, everyone seemed to know, and no one seemed to mind.

Finally, Old Man Yang could let his heart rest.

The people present weren’t really curious about Lin ShuYi and Shen Fu, but they were curious about the Shen family. How to put this in words, it was just, the Shen family seemed so familiar, yet no one seemed to be able to recall from where they seemed familiar.

And really, from first glance, it was clear to see that the Shen family was a little different. It was something like temperament, or mannerisms, the way they interacted with the world around them just singled them out, like they were all born with the aura of kings. Individually they all stood out, Grandfather Shen, Shen Fu’s mom and dad, but they were all also polite in a way that invited politeness back towards them. Whether the Shen family held the same place in the world as them or not, it was clear to everyone.

But what they could read was just that, and as long as they understood the gist of it, that was enough. The Shen family didn’t seem willing to say too much about themselves, and no one was prepared to ask too much. After all, the only person that any one of them might run into was Shen Fu, so it had nothing to do with the rest of the Shen family.

However the part where Lin ShuYi somehow ended up with such a unique family, everyone was still a bit curious. But then the food was brought to the table, and no one had the time to wonder about Lin ShuYi or the Shen family anymore.

Compared to curiosity about just what the Shen family’s profession was, the more important thing at the moment was just how delicious this fish soup looked. The shrimp looked so spicy! The smell of roast meat was so good enough to knock someone unconscious, and hey, this chicken’s color looked pretty tasty! A foodie’s priorities were always a bit different from the average person. Happily clamoring and laughing away, everyone began to eat.

Old Man Yang and Grandfather Shen sat side by side at the same table, heartily talking up a storm, agreeing on everything, pouring one drink after another. Just like two old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years. Shen Fu’s dad sat quietly by Grandfather Shen’s side, his face gloomy. Who was it just now that said Grandfather Shen had the aura of a king? Come take a look at this.

Lin ShuYi sat by Old Man Yang, with the seat to his right still empty. Shen Fu was just about to go sit, when Lin ShuYi shot out a hand and grabbed Tang Shuang, pulling him down into the seat. Shen Fu’s face immediately became hollow.

Tang Shuang felt like his seat was about to be set on fire by Shen Fu’s look, but when he tried to get up, Lin ShuYi stopped him. All he could do was sit there and be anxious. In the end, it was Shen Fu who admitted defeat, and went to sit by Shen Yan’s side.

Towards the little brother who gained a wife and forgot his older brother, who only sat by Shen Yan when he had no other seats, Shen Yan’s only reaction was to twist his body around and sneer at him.

Shen Fu: …There was no way this was his real brother, absolutely not.

As for everyone else here, no one noticed this scene. Everyone was too busy eating and drinking and having a good time, even Tang Shuang. Temporarily ignoring Shen Fu’s consistent gaze that set his nerves on edge, Tang Shuang instead fully threw himself into enjoying the delicious food. Only Shen Fu poked at the meatball in his bowl, his entire posture expressing his sadness.

Lin ShuYi finally felt his anger dissipating.

Finally, when the last fish soup was served, Lin ShuYi broke off the best piece of meat and, skipping two people, put it directly in Shen Fu’s bowl without looking at him or saying anything.

Shen Fu, who was just burying himself in a figurative pit a second ago, sudden shot as high as the sky, lighting up. Shen Yan, on the other hand, who was so sickeningly sweetened by the scene that he felt like this teeth were about to fall out, looked at his brother who was just short of a wagging tail, and suddenly didn’t feel so well.

Tang Shuang had his face buried deep in his bowl. Having a mouth to eat with was good enough, eyes, what eyes? Didn’t need those. It was just some PDA, it wasn’t like he hadn’t stood through worse over the years.

However, a moment later, someone suddenly said, “Hey, isn’t this chicken skin a bit burned?”

Lin ShuYi:…

Shen Fu:…..

Forget about the fish meat, Shen Fu wouldn’t even be able to eat the fish bones anymore.
