Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy-Chapter 273: A Man Dies a Boy.

Shen Yue listened to Si Chengyou's words and suddenly asked, "Si Chengyou, how old are you?"

Si Chengyou was stunned for a moment, somewhat unable to understand why Shen Yue was asking about his age now. Does she think he is too old? But their current topic of conversation should have nothing to do with whether he is old or not.

After thinking for a while, Si Chengyou honestly said, "I'm 20 this year, what's up?"

"20 is pretty young, it's a good time to be going through your rebellious phase." Shen Yue skipped along ahead happily, not bothering to look at Si Chengyou's facial expression changes brought about by her words.

After a while, she finally heard Si Chengyou's indifferent voice coming from behind her, "A man stays forever young until his death."

This was the first time Shen Yue had heard such childish words coming from Si Chengyou's mouth, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Seeing that Shen Yue was no longer feeling vexed over the earlier topic, Si Chengyou also smiled, eyes curving.

Perhaps it was because Si Chengyou had just counselled her earlier, Shen Yue decided to come clean to him about the awful thing she did.

"Si Chengyou, I want to tell you a secret."

"Oh?"

"Eldest brother saw our chat records the other day, I think he misunderstood. Although the others didn't see the chat records, they still know that I have your contact and chat with you."

After saying that, Shen Yue stared intently at Si Chengyou, seemingly anticipating his reaction.

However, Si Chengyou did not react much.

Shen Yue knew that he had already guessed it, after all he was Si Chengyou.

"I see, I know about it.

From now on, anything that you can't handle, you can leave it to me to settle. Shen Yue, I owe you a huge favor, I believe you know what I'm talking about. Therefore, as long as it's not illegal, no matter what you do I will help you, you just have to remember that."

Shen Yue looked towards the not too far off research labs, Shen Hui's and Shen Wu's labs were built side by side.

The path that she had brought Si Chengyou along was nearing its end.

Shen Yue stopped in her tracks again, and held out her pinky to Si Chengyou, "Shall we pinky promise?"

"Sure."

Compared to Shen Yue's, Si Chengyou's hand was too rough. Shen Yue only felt her pinky being poked by the coarse skin, while Si Chengyou marveled at how tiny and delicate Shen Yue was.

"Si Chengyou, I'm taking your words seriously."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

At this moment, a strong comradeship rose between the two.

At least at this time, Si Chengyou still felt that it was only comradeship.

Shen Yue pushed open the door to the research lab. Shen Hui was inside in the midst of the final detox process for Su Yunan.

The current Su Yunan now looked like a normal person, he would show emotion changes, and no longer seemed like those militant guys in TV dramas who only knew to charge forward relentlessly.

Upon sensing the movements, Shen Hui paid them no heed whatsoever.

Only Shen Yue could open the door to the research lab, Shen Yue knew her limits. She would definitely not touch anything she shouldn't. Shen Hui felt very assured, and so she continued to focus on the task at hand.

It was only after she had completed Su Yunan's final machine-assisted treatment, that she realized there were not only Shen Yue but also a Si Chengyou in the research lab.

"Hello, I'm Si Chengyou. Can I speak with you?"

...

Shen Yue did not eavesdrop on what Si Chengyou discussed with Shen Hui. The more one pries into others' affairs, the worse it is.

Rather than pry into their conversation, why not have some pudding instead.

Shen Yue went to look for the family chef to ask for some ice packs, and found a pretty box to put the puddings in.

Shen Yue had only put one pudding in initially, but the box was rather big, with just one pudding it looked very empty.

Tsk, someone who doesn't know better might think the Shen family was so poor they couldn't even afford puddings.

Having found a suitable excuse, Shen Yue started squeezing more puddings into the empty spaces in the box. The first layer could fit three puddings, while the second layer could fit another two puddings. Perfect.

Shen Yue placed the puddings and ice packs into another nice bag, then carried the bag as she went to look for Si Chengyou.

After eating the puddings she gave him, surely he wouldn't stay mad at her anymore.

Shen Yue had just left when Si Chengyou also came walking from the opposite direction. However the path he took was not the shortcut she had brought him along just now, but another route instead.

After thinking for a bit, Shen Yue understood why. There was a garden along that previous path they took. Wherever there is a garden, there would also be bugs. 𝒻𝓻𝘦𝑒𝓌𝑒𝓫𝓷𝑜𝓋𝘦𝓵.𝓬𝘰𝓂

Shen Yue walked towards Si Chengyou, planning to find an opportunity to coax her big brother into building an insecticide-sprayed path cutting across the middle of the garden.

When Si Chengyou saw what Shen Yue was holding, the corners of his eyes had already curved up in a smile. He walked closer to Shen Yue and spoke first before she could say anything, "Can you wait for me first? I want to bid Shen Hui farewell."

"I advise you not to. " Shen Yue deliberately put on a scary expression, "If you go now, you might see things you shouldn't."

Si Chengyou looked thoughtful and nodded solemnly, "Alright then, please help convey to Shen Hui that I'll take my leave first. Also, I promised Shen Hui a request to pick her up next Wednesday."

Shen Yue memorized his words verbatim and nodded. She then passed the puddings in her hands to Si Chengyou, "This is for you, as an apology."

Si Chengyou was stunned for a moment. He received it with both hands and looked at Shen Yue earnestly, "I'd be happier if this was a gift rather than an apology."

Shen Yue just went along, "Then consider this a gift."

"Thank you."

Si Chengyou was about to leave with the puddings when he suddenly turned back abruptly to face Shen Yue after taking two steps. "Feel free to tell me anytime if something is upsetting you."

Shen Yue replied, "I have nothing upsetting me."

Si Chengyou just smiled at that, his eyes seemed to sparkle like stars. "Oh."
