Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 352 Omen
"I wonder what Shenli's older sister is trying to do?"

Feeling the faint attention he was receiving, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly.

"Even if you want to help your younger brother, do you really have to keep doing this all the time?"

"I feel embarrassed when you keep staring at me like that, don't you?"

As Shen Jun's attention lingered for longer and longer, Sheng Changquan gradually became somewhat helpless.

After all, it would be fine if they hadn't noticed, but once they did, Shen Jun's actions were bound to make people uncomfortable. Just like Sheng Changquan at this moment, he felt a little uneasy.

I can't quite put my finger on what that feeling is, but it's definitely uncomfortable.

So he glanced at Shen Li beside him, hoping he would react, but unfortunately, seeing that Shen Li was still staring blankly at the book, seemingly unaware of the strange atmosphere, Sheng Changquan couldn't help but feel a little "despair".

However, this is not Shen Li's fault. With Shen Jun's abilities, she was absolutely confident that she could keep it from him and prevent him from noticing.

There was nothing she could do; Shen Li was her younger brother, someone she had always been able to control since childhood!

"Cough cough!"

Finally, after Sheng Changquan "laboriously" finished flipping through the last book in his hand, he said, "Shen Du, it's getting late, I should go back."

"Ok?"

Shen Li was stunned!
"go back?"

"What are you going back for?"

Shen Li shook his head without even thinking and said, "Chang Quan, why are you going back so early?"

"I'm not letting you go home today unless you finish your meal at my house!"

Seeing that Sheng Changquan didn't give any special reason, Shen Li made up his mind that he absolutely couldn't let him go back; he had to let him experience the warmth of the Shen family.

Most importantly, Shen Li planned to take this opportunity to let Sheng Changquan learn more about their family and his older sister, so as to lay the groundwork for the future.

"Yes, Young Master Sheng!"

At this moment, not only Shen Li tried to stop them, but Shen Jun also spoke up to dissuade them.

"You should have your meal at our residence before going back. Otherwise, if others find out, they might think our family is impolite!"

Of course, this was indeed Shen Jun's true feeling, not because of any ulterior motives, but because it was indeed against etiquette.

If Sheng Changquan were to leave like this, the Shen family's hospitality would inevitably be criticized. After all, Sheng Changquan had personally delivered the invitation to their door, and the Shen family would definitely want him to stay and have a meal before leaving.

Otherwise, it would be extremely impolite, and people would definitely laugh at us if word got out.

"This……"

"Hey, what's there to hesitate about?"

Shen Li, displaying the demeanor of a landlord, forcefully grabbed Sheng Changquan and said firmly, "Changquan, let me tell you something!"

"We haven't seen each other for over six years. This time, you absolutely have to stay!"

"Otherwise, our friendship will be ruined!"

Shen Li deliberately feigned displeasure and joked.

However, Shen Li's face was indeed full of determination at this moment, and it was clear that he was really unwilling to let Sheng Changquan go back.

Of course, Sheng Changquan wasn't really like that, so... "Well... alright!"

After pretending to decline for a while, Sheng Changquan did not actually insist on leaving immediately. Instead, after hesitating for a moment, he agreed again and prepared to have dinner at the Shen family's house before leaving.

After all, he hadn't yet found an opportunity to discuss the Yu family matter with Lord Shen!

Moreover, to be honest, Sheng Changquan's purpose in saying those words was not necessarily to leave. It was just an excuse for him to get rid of the awkward situation at the time. After all, he was really embarrassed if he didn't speak up.

"Ha ha!"

"Changquan, you're right!"

Seeing that Sheng Changquan had agreed, Shen Li couldn't help but smile.

At this moment, he was still unaware of the intimate relationship between his elder sister and his good brother. He simply looked at Sheng Changquan with great joy, feeling that he had accomplished a great feat and finally managed to keep his good brother here.

"call!"

At the same time, Shen Jun secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Sheng Changquan had agreed.

At this moment, she felt strange, with an indescribable feeling, as if she had truly fallen for Sheng Changquan.

However, Shen Jun herself knew that this was just an illusion; her feelings for Sheng Changquan, or rather, her perception of him, had not yet reached that point.

The reason for this misconception is purely due to external factors and Sheng Changquan's own excellence.

Of course, the most important factor was the influence of external factors. After all, in this world, "arranged marriages by parents and matchmakers" were still the mainstream. Therefore, Madam Shen's words ultimately left a mark on Shen Jun's heart.

Later, she witnessed how extensive Sheng Changquan's knowledge of the imperial examination system was, and how profound and easy to understand his explanation of Shen Li was, breaking down and analyzing every single point of knowledge bit by bit...

All of these scenes earned the admiration of Shen Jun, a young lady from a prestigious family.

Therefore, catalyzed by these things, Shen Jun really started to pay attention to Sheng Changquan.

As for the cousin from the Li family that Madam Shen had mentioned to her, Shen Jun truly had no other thoughts. This was not only because of Lord Shen's attitude towards the Li family, but more importantly, because her feelings towards Li Yancheng were not so positive.

Although Li Yancheng always behaved very uprightly in front of her, for some reason, she always felt that there was something gloomy about him, as if some terrible vortex was lurking inside.

It can swallow a person whole!

……

"Yan Cheng, that child, harbors an uncontrollable beast within him!"

For the first time, Lord Shen expressed his concerns to Madam Shen: "That is a ferocious beast that eats people!"

"It not only harms others, but also threatens oneself."

Lord Shen looked solemn, with no hint of joking on his face.

"My lord, you...you..."

"What you're saying..."

Startled by Lord Shen's words, Madam Shen's face began to twitch unnaturally.

"Everything I said is the truth!"

Lord Shen shook his head and said with some helplessness.
