Chapter 176 Intimate Yet Strange
After seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor and going shopping.

Back at Weiyang Palace, Shen Yanzhou put down all the bags and packages: "I'm just a laborer."

"Otherwise what?" Shen Shilan took a tissue and wiped the sweat from his face. "Otherwise what's the point of taking you shopping?"

Shen Yanzhou sighed, "I'll go down and get it again."

Shen Shilan and Su Miaoyi entered the room.

Su Miaoyi went to the kitchen to get a drink.

Shen Shilan didn't rest for a moment; she took out all the things she had bought and put the ones that needed washing together.

She took them out and folded them neatly, since they didn't need to be washed.

"I can do it myself." Su Miaoyi came out of the kitchen and saw her tidying up.

"I've taken care of everything so you don't have to," Shen Shilan said as she tidied up. "They can brew the herbal medicine there; I'll have Yan Zhou pick it up tomorrow. Just drink one packet every morning and evening."

“Okay.” Su Miaoyi followed her.

I want to help, but I feel like I can't really do anything to help.

Shen Shilan simply put the clothes that didn't need washing into the wardrobe.

The items that needed washing were sorted by color and put into the washing machine.

They changed the four-piece bedding set on her bed.

I bought it at the store, washed and dried it before bringing it home.

Su Miaoyi followed right behind her, back and forth.

"Find a place to sit for a while," Shen Shilan said.

Su Miaoyi insisted on following her.

Shen Shilan didn't say anything.

In just over an hour, even the vases were filled with fresh flowers.

Shen Yanzhou also brought over a litter box, cat food, canned food, cat treats, toys, and a whole series of other items.

For the first time, Su Miaoyi had a feeling that this three-bedroom apartment wasn't actually that big.

With everything packed up and it getting late, Shen Shilan prepared to leave.

"There are still a few clothes in the washing machine, and I'm thinking of taking them out."

"it is good."

“When you’re working, there’s nothing you can do. But when you’re resting, you must eat well. Yan Zhou is right next door, so when you’re resting, you can go eat at his place. He has a chef at home who will come over and cook. Just tell him what you want to eat.”

"Okay," Su Miaoyi replied.

"Drink more hot water and less cold drinks. I've packed all the clothes you need to take to the station in that blue bag. There are two of everything, including inner and outer garments, plus an extra jacket. I put it on the cabinet in the entryway so you can see it as soon as you leave."

"it is good."

"When you're not working, don't stay up late. I keep food in the fridge and there's a snack cabinet in the kitchen, so even if you don't have time, you should still eat something."

"it is good."

"Take the medicine on time after it arrives," Shen Shilan instructed from upstairs to the parking lot.

Shen Yanzhou said, "Aunt, I will keep an eye on her."

Shen Shilan glanced at him: "I'll be thankful if you can take good care of yourself."

Shen Yanzhou: "."

"You too, how can you possibly finish all your work? Take a break," Shen Shilan said. "Even if you're a spendthrift, you could squander all the family's money in ten lifetimes. Don't overwork yourself."

Su Miaoyi choked again.

Is flaunting wealth a basic norm for this family?

Was she like this before?
"Auntie, why do I feel like those words are so unpleasant?" Shen Yanzhou said.

"Is your father as rude as you?" Shen Shilan said.

Su Miaoyi looked at Shen Yanzhou.

Shen Yanzhou suddenly fell silent, then slowly sighed.

"Alright, let's go back." Shen Shilan got into the car. "Go to bed early tonight, and tell me if anything happens."

"it is good."

I watched Shen Shilan's car leave.

Shen Yanzhou and Su Miaoyi walked back together.

She entered the elevator in silence, and Shen Yanzhou looked at her: "You have something to say."

Su Miaoyi opened her mouth, but no sound came out.

Shen Yanzhou suddenly said, "If you're going to talk about money, then don't open your mouth."

Su Miaoyi: "."

She looked at him.

All of this today is thanks to Shen Shilan's money.

She wanted to pay, but Shen Yanzhou stopped her.

She knew, of course, that Shen Shilan would enjoy spending the money, so she didn't say anything afterward.

She was just a little uneasy.

Shen Yanzhou was also looking at her.

Neither of them spoke, but he understood her gaze.

The elevator doors opened. Shen Yanzhou placed his hand on her head, led her out of the elevator, and went directly to her residence.

"Open the door."

Su Miaoyi opened the door.

The two entered the living room and sat facing each other on the sofa.

Then they looked at each other again.

After a while, Shen Yanzhou thought for a moment and said, "You feel awkward, don't you?"

Su Miaoyi looked at him without saying anything.

“It’s been a long time since I last saw my aunt. She’s always wanted to come, but she was worried that it would be a burden or an inconvenience for you, so she hasn’t come yet,” Shen Yanzhou said. “But in the end, she couldn’t resist.”

Su Miaoyi nodded.

"Will they be very averse to us?" Shen Yanzhou thought for a moment, then asked.

Su Miaoyi immediately shook her head: "Of course not."

Hearing her answer, Shen Yanzhou breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s just that… I…” Su Miaoyi thought for a moment, then didn’t know how to say it, “I’m close to you from the bottom of my heart. I feel very safe and have a sense of belonging when I’m with you. But… it also feels very unfamiliar.”

"I," Su Miaoyi didn't know how to say it, after all, she herself couldn't explain how she felt, it was just awkward and she was also very uncomfortable, "Ninety-eight percent of the time, I felt like I was Su Miaoyi."

Shen Yanzhou listened to her words.

Zhuang Yanzheng guessed correctly; she only thought of herself as Su Miaoyi.

"So when you guys spend money on me, I feel like I'm taking someone else's money," Su Miaoyi said, then suddenly added, "And how can you be so sure I'm Qin Le?"

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning tore a hole in the darkness.

With such a large floor-to-ceiling window, the lightning bolt in the darkness was very noticeable.

Su Miaoyi shuddered again in fright.

She looked out at the darkness of the night.

Is it really that weird?
Are we not allowed to talk about it?

"You are," Shen Yanzhou said with absolute certainty.

Su Miaoyi glanced at him, then looked out the window: "What if it isn't?"

There was no more lightning or thunder outside.

“You are, I won’t mistake you. My aunt won’t mistake you either,” Shen Yanzhou said.

Su Miaoyi looked at him: "Because I look like her?"

After she learned that she was not Su Miaoyi, all her guesses about her identity came from Shen Yanzhou, Shen Shilan, and Qin Chengyuan.

Shen Yanzhou shook his head: "The first time I saw you, at that pet boarding facility, you looked a lot like her. But we didn't have any contact, so I didn't think much of it."

Su Miaoyi thought back to that time, and Shen Yanzhou was indeed very cold.

He was very cold to me on the next few occasions I saw him.

After that, he began to test her with his words and actions.

“I don’t know how I recognized her, but I would never mistake my sister,” Shen Yanzhou said, looking at her.

Su Miaoyi looked at him, blinked, and after a while said, "I'm suddenly a little touched."

"Are you going to cry?" Shen Yanzhou asked.

"I wasn't that moved," Su Miaoyi said.

Shen Yanzhou sighed with some regret: "What a pity."

"Huh?" Su Miaoyi asked in confusion.

"I haven't seen you cry in years," Shen Yanzhou said. "I miss you quite a bit."

Su Miaoyi rolled her eyes at him again.

Shen Yanzhou said, "So may I ask what happened?"

click-

Another incredibly long bolt of lightning flashed outside the window.

This time it was accompanied by sound; the noise was so loud it felt like it was going to split the building apart.

Shen Yanzhou looked out the window.

Remembering the lightning bolt from earlier, he looked at Su Miaoyi again.

Looking out the window, Su Miaoyi tentatively said, "I'm not Su Miao."

Before he could finish speaking, four or five streaks of lightning flashed outside the window and scattered.

It split a big one.

The thunder was so loud it was deafening.

Shen Yanzhou immediately covered her mouth, stopping her from speaking.

Su Miaoyi pulled his hand down and said to the window, "I won't say anymore, I won't say anymore, stop using your supernatural powers."

Sure enough, there was no more thunder or lightning after that.

It didn't rain.

Su Miaoyi looked out the window.

She would never believe such a thing unless it happened to her herself.
