Chapter 149

This was the first time 14 had heard the words "I want" come out of Shen Yue's mouth.

In the past, Shen Yue would often make all kinds of requests of him, but no matter what the request was, Shen Yue would only say what she needed or what she wanted him to do.

It was only about needing, not wanting.

Having abandoned his identity as a prison guard to protect Shen Yue as a prisoner by her side, 14 suddenly realized that in the few short days since he had changed his identity, Si Chengyou seemed to have already had an influence on Shen Yue.

And it was a good influence.

He had been by Shen Yue's side for so long that he knew better than anyone what kind of state she was in. He had originally thought that after Ma Sha died, Shen Yue would also wither quickly like a flower that had passed its season. Even with hatred as support, she was barely hanging on.

But that was not how things were now.

Shen Yue had found something she wanted to do.

looked at Si Chengyou. As always, his face concealed all emotion, and with 14's abilities, he could not see through it.

It should be said that there was no one in the entire prison who could see through Si Chengyou, and no one knew what Si Chengyou was thinking.

It was just that... more than half of the people in the prison had received favors from Si Chengyou.

He was a man who looked harmless but was also very frightening.

decided to observe for a while longer. Even if Si Chengyou really had other ideas now, there was nothing he could do to stop Shen Yue.

Shen Yue and Si Chengyou quickly reached an agreement to go to Building 8 tomorrow to learn how to see through and take advantage of the human mind through gambling.

"The money in the Newcomer Building is only enough to survive. It’s far from enough to be able to go to Building 8 for entertainment. Have you figured out where to get that money?"

Shen Yue answered very quickly. "Use 14’s money." 14, who had been worried about Shen Yue, suddenly looked over in complete disbelief when he heard this. "My money?"

Shen Yue nodded, as if it was only natural. "When you asked me just now if I had any money, although Tang Yue interrupted, you were about to say yes."

Not only 14, even Si Chengyou was shocked.

He had thought that Shen Yue simply had a good memory, but he didn’t expect her observational skills to be so amazing as well.

With observational skills like this, plus a photographic memory, how was this any different from a video recorder?

When Si Chengyou thought of the words "video recorder", he even found it amusing and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

And 14 thought this was Si Chengyou gloating at his misfortune. His gaze suddenly shifted and he began "advising" his boss. "Do you think you need to reconsider this? Si Chengyou is obviously up to no good."

Shen Yue stared at 14. "I want to go."

avoided her gaze. It wasn’t that he was unwilling; mainly, it was absolutely certain that a newcomer like Shen Yue gambling in Building 8 would lose everything.

This was money he had set aside to ensure basic living expenses for himself and Shen Yue. If they lost it all...

Seeing 14's little dilemma, Si Chengyou finally confirmed that 14 did not want anything from Shen Yue.

Although 14 had stayed by Shen Yue's side with a purpose, as long as it did not conflict with what he wanted, it was fine.

Otherwise, even if he had to use every means at his disposal, he would eliminate 14.

After confirming that 14 was not someone who needed to be dealt with, Si Chengyou began advising Shen Yue. "Shen Yue, when making requests to the opposite sex, you can try calling them by name. It increases your chances of success."

Shen Yue now had a strong desire for knowledge. Upon hearing Si Chengyou's words, she immediately gave up her intense stare down with 14 and turned to look at Si Chengyou as she asked, "Why?"

"When people communicate with each other, their emotions flow between them. If you like someone, you’ll like calling them by their full name even more. There's nothing in this world more thrilling than hearing your name called by someone special. And when you convey these feelings to the other person, they will also lose their composure due to the thrill, thereby following your rhythm."

Shen Yue blinked. After briefly thinking about it, she asked, "What if I don't like them?"

Si Chengyou gently said, "Then fool yourself."

Bystander 14: ...

In other words, you two are quite blatantly using me as a guinea pig, right?

The food was already on the table, but other than Si Chengyou, the other two didn't seem to make a move.

They were staring at each other! Pulling at each other! Sounding each other out! Falling for each other! He runs away, she chases! They are both raring to go!

After brewing for a good while, Shen Yue finally spoke up. "Su Yunan, I’m Shen Yue, give me money."

Si Chengyou: ...

: ...

No one had expected Shen Yue to come up with this result after thinking by herself. However, just looking at the outcome, it was not unexpected; this was something Shen Yue would do.

After briefly losing his composure for two seconds, Si Chengyou resumed chewing normally.

As for 14, he was grinning from ear to ear, unable to put on a thrilled look to cater to Shen Yue.

Anyone would be immune to this.

sighed. "Si Chengyou is untrustworthy. I suggest you reconsider."

As soon as he finished speaking, Si Chengyou began advising Shen Yue again. "Shen Yue, his name is not 14. If you can't even call his name right, how can you make someone's heart race?"

Shen Yue nodded. She looked at 14. "What's your name?"

: "My name is 14."

This was an obvious indication that he did not want to tell her.

Si Chengyou, watching the show from the sidelines, knew 14's name but didn’t say it. He wanted Shen Yue to figure it out herself.

After a while, Shen Yue finally had an idea. She looked at 14 and called out that name without any hesitation.

"Su Yunan, you are Su Yunan."

Hearing this name, 14's pupils suddenly contracted, and at the same time, a strange feeling arose in his heart.

He looked at Shen Yue in disbelief and asked, "How did you know?"

Shen Yue calmly replied, "I remember everything about you."

Not just you. I remember everything I've seen. When I need it, I'll dig it out and use it as my bargaining chip.

However, Shen Yue didn’t say the last sentence.

Si Chengyou said that when speaking, you should say half and leave half unsaid.
