Chapter 71: Coaxing

He admitted that he was sick. He was so selfish that he did not want Emily to play around with others. He selfishly thought that Emily belonged to him alone.

Therefore, he had been hiding from Emily during this period of time. He was afraid that Emily would make more friends when she arrived at school. At that time, he was afraid that he could not help but hide Emily.

Looking at Emily who was still sobbing in front of him, Shen Yu only realized at this moment that he wanted to stab himself. This time, he was the one who made Emily so sad.

Shen Yu coaxed Emily to sleep for a long time. After Emily fell asleep, Shen Yu pulled his hand out of Emily’s small hand and carefully left Emily’s room.

“Xiao Yu? You’re back? Have you eaten dinner? I’ll ask the kitchen to make some for you.”

Second Aunt had just arrived at Emily’s door. She wanted to see if Emily was asleep, but she did not expect to see Shen Yu coming out of Emily’s room. She could not help but be a little surprised and even a little happy. It seemed that… the two of them should have reconciled.

“Thank you, Second Aunt. I’ve already eaten outside.”

“It’s good that you’ve eaten. Have you gone to see Millie? That little fellow must have fallen asleep. What a pity. You should have come back earlier. Millie has been asking when you’ll be back these few days. When she heard that you’re not coming back, that disappointed look of her made my heart ache to death.”

Shen Yu frowned. He was happy, but he blamed himself even more. Why did he have to be so petty?

“Alright, Second Aunt doesn’t blame you. I know that you have just started school, but you can’t be like this in the future. Millie hasn’t been thinking about food or tea for the past few days. She looks like she has lost weight. The few pounds of meat that she had painstakingly raised is gone just like that.”

Second Aunt looked down at Shen Yu. Seeing that Shen Yu was frowning, she instantly felt a lot better. She patted Shen Yu’s shoulder. She continued to persuade him earnestly, “Go and rest. Second Aunt knows that you’re tired too. Tomorrow, Millie will know that you came back to see her, but she’s already asleep. She’ll definitely regret sleeping so early.”

Shen Yu knew very well that Second Aunt was complaining on behalf of Millie. If he didn’t interrupt her, he didn’t know how long she would have to nag for to prevent her ears from being poisoned. Shen Yu slowly said, “Second Aunt, Millie just fell asleep. She knows when I came back.”

“Oh, is that so? Alright then, go and rest.”

Second Aunt pushed Shen Yu back into the room awkwardly. Looking at Shen Yu’s back, she gritted her teeth. This child really did not suffer at all.

When Emily woke up the next day, her mood was much better. She initially thought that by the time she woke up, Shen Yu would have already gone to school. However, when she went downstairs, she saw Shen Yu sitting at the dining table, elegantly eating breakfast.

Emily immediately rushed to Shen Yu’s side excitedly and said, “Brother, aren’t you going to school today?”

“Today is the weekend. The school will be closed.” Shen Yu nodded and replied. Then, he carried Emily to a chair at the side and sat down. He placed the breakfast in front of Emily.

“Eat quickly. I’ll take you out to play later.”

Emily could not believe what she had heard. She stared at Shen Yu with her eyes wide open. She felt that Shen Yu had become the same Shen Yu from before. He was still the brother who doted on her the most. He was her favorite brother.

Emily smiled foolishly and said while eating, “Okay. Yesterday, Third Aunt asked you to take me to the amusement park. I’m going to the amusement park today.”

“It’s okay. You can go anywhere you want today.”

Hearing Shen Yu’s words, Emily was even happier. Perhaps it was really because of her mood, but Emily felt that the breakfast today was especially delicious. She accidentally ate too much, so Emily touched her stomach with satisfaction.

Second Aunt and Third Aunt looked at each other and smiled. They both ate breakfast silently without saying a word. The two of them were the happiest that Shen Yu and Emily could reconcile because they saw a smile on Emily’s face again.

“Go to the amusement park? I want to go too.” Shen Nan had just come out of his room when he heard Emily say that she wanted to go to the amusement park. Shen Nan was such a playful person. How could he stay at home?

“Amusement park? Have you finished your homework? School will start the day after tomorrow, okay?” Third Aunt put down the chopsticks in her hands and crossed her hands under her chin. She narrowed her beautiful phoenix eyes and looked at Shen Nan with a smile.
