Chapter 282

Shen Yue received over a thousand gifts. At first, she enthusiastically unwrapped them, but later she got tired and randomly summoned a bodyguard to help her unwrap them.

The bodyguard unwrapped very quickly, and Shen Yue judged just as fast - she could tell who had chosen each gift almost as soon as it was revealed.

Even a seemingly plain and ordinary spoon, Shen Yue could guess who it was from.

"A spoon? This must be from Fifth Brother."

Shen Yue was doing very smoothly, while Shen Hui had guessed wrong five times in a row already, and had several little turtle stickers on her face as punishment.

Seeing Shen Yue guess right again, she looked over in disbelief, "A spoon, how did you know?"

Shen Yue pointed to the magnetic strip in the center of the spoon, "Look, this magnetic strip in the middle of the spoon - at dinner, Fifth Brother said he discovered a substance that could enhance people's sense of taste. When I saw this spoon, I felt it must be from Fifth Brother."

On the screen, Shen Wu's nose soured with emotion when he saw how well Shen Yue knew him, and his eyes began to tear up.

Just then, Shen Yue unwrapped another gift and immediately knew it was from Second Brother, because she had seen Second Brother look at that item for a bit longer in a video she saw of him online the other day.

Instantly, Shen Shuangyi's eyes also became blurry.

My dear sister cares so much about me, she even knows what I've looked at.

She really...I'm crying.

The other brothers were also quite emotional.

After a whole day, aside from meal times, Shen Yue and Shen Hui had been unwrapping gifts and guessing who they were from.

Shen Yue didn't make a single mistake.

As for Shen Hui, she had punished everyone equally, including herself. The number of turtle stickers on her face showed just how badly she had done.

The time was nearing 5:30pm, and the game rules stated that at exactly 5:30, no matter if there were still gifts left to unwrap, they had to stop. The next activity was having dinner with the family.

The main point was that no matter what gifts they received, nothing compared to being with family.

Right before the gift unwrapping was about to end, a butler suddenly brought over a box that looked different from the other gifts based on its packaging.

Shen Yue realized something and asked the butler, "If I guess this one wrong, do I still have to do a punishment game?"

The butler nodded, "Yes."

Shen Yue didn't unwrap the gift. She just looked at the conspicuous gold and red logo on the box, and the cultured, refined pattern, and held it in her hands as she blurted out, "I guess this is from Fifth Brother."

But even the bodyguards knew that there was no way Shen Wu could pick out something so tasteful. And so, Si Chengyou, who had been pretending to read a book but actually hadn't absorbed anything, finally received a notification on his phone app.

[You have been selected for punishment. Your punishment is: to feed the birthday girl Shen Yue dinner.]

Si Chengyou: ...

Although he had expected that if Shen Yue recognized the gift he gave she would deliberately guess wrong, he hadn't imagined the punishment would be so...bizarre.

On the other hand, Shen Yue: ...

This random punishment, was it punishing Si Chengyou or punishing her in the end?

Seeing Shen Yue's change in expression, Shen Hui leaned over to look at the punishment content, and her expression also became strange.

Si Chengyou feeding Shen Yue?

Si Chengyou hand-feeding Shen Yue dinner?

It felt like it would be very awkward.

But it should be very interesting.

Shen Hui internally scolded herself for two seconds for having such thoughts despite her sisterly bond with Shen Yue, before starting to look forward to dinner.

She didn't have any wishes, she just wanted to see Si Chengyou embarrassed.

In fact, Shen Hui wasn't the only one who thought this way. The Shen brothers, who had been "on the verge of death" from Shen Hui's punishment game, suddenly became interested when they heard that Si Chengyou had to come over and hand-feed Shen Yue dinner.

Feeding dinner?

They loved to watch that.

And the person feeding was Si Chengyou?

Then they loved it even more.

Shen Shuangyi was a bit worried and asked, "Si Chengyou won't refuse to come because he's afraid to lose face, right?"

Shen Shuangchen was about to reply when Shen Yichen already spoke up, "He will definitely come if he agreed to participate in the punishment game."

Shen Yichen was very confident in Si Chengyou's integrity.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before Si Chengyou arrived at the Shen house. His expression was the same as always, but everyone wanted to find some other emotion on his face.

The result was that no one could detect any cracks in Si Chengyou's facade.

As soon as Si Chengyou arrived, the Shen family's chef received the signal and started serving the dishes. After some small talk with Si Chengyou, the others took their seats, with Shen Yue in between Shen Hui and an empty spot on the other side.

That was clearly meant for Si Chengyou's seat.

Si Chengyou calmly walked over and sat down.

He remained unruffled despite all the eyes on him.

Shen Yichen forcibly pulled his eyes away and started by wishing Shen Yue and Shen Hui a happy birthday, saying some other blessings as well. Then the Shen family began their meal.

Si Chengyou first ladled a bowl of soup for Shen Yue, but didn't hand it directly to her. Instead he put it aside, and picked up a rib for Shen Yue. He first removed the bones from the rib, then split the already tender rib meat into bite-sized pieces, bringing them to Shen Yue's mouth with his chopsticks.

Shen Yue opened her mouth and the meat was precisely delivered inside.

Shen Yue's eyes looked towards the crab legs on the table. Si Chengyou immediately understood, picking up a crab leg to remove the meat for Shen Yue. After taking the meat out, he divided it into bite-sized morsels and brought them to Shen Yue's mouth.

The entire time he didn't say a word, and didn't have any extraneous movements. But Shen Yue looked very satisfied.

Even though Si Chengyou was performing a "servant's" task, his bearing made people strangely feel like he was doing something important.

His focus, his earnestness, made those who had wanted to ridicule him bow their heads in shame...if only.

The Shen family thought it was great to watch and wanted to watch it everyday.

Shen Jize secretly snapped a photo of Si Chengyou hand-feeding Shen Yue, planning to send it to Shen Yue as a memento (blackmail material).

But when he looked back to check the photo after taking it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

He uncertainly glanced at Si Chengyou - the current Si Chengyou was still perfectly normal, even very serious.

But...Shen Jize looked at the photo again. Si Chengyou's gaze in it was clearly...

After hesitating again and again, Shen Jize only sent the photo to Shen Yue in the end.

Yueyue is so smart, she'll know to handle it properly later. If he went straight to Big Brother with this, it would really become troublesome.

Having discovered something serious on his own initiative, Shen Jize didn't watch the lively scene between Si Chengyou and Shen Yue after that.

After dinner that night, Si Chengyou didn't rush to leave either. He stayed at the Shen house and sang happy birthday to Shen Yue with everyone, and even drank with Shen Yichen.

Everyone was very happy that night.

...

After everything ended, Shen Yue and Shen Hui returned to their room and unwrapped the gifts Si Chengyou had prepared for them.

When Shen Yue opened her gift box, inside was an exquisitely crafted sachet with a very nice fragrance. The embroidered pattern on it was also intricate, and the color scheme grand.

It looked to be quite valuable.

But looking at the stitching on the sachet, Shen Yue easily realized that this was embroidered by Si Chengyou himself.

In other words, Si Chengyou had made this entire sachet himself.

Shen Yue held the sachet and looked at it for a while, before hanging it by her bedside so she would remember to bring it every morning when she woke up.

After Shen Yue finished hanging up the sachet and turned to see that Shen Hui had also unwrapped her gift, she noticed her sister had an odd expression.

Shen Yue walked over curiously and asked, "What's wrong? What did he give you?"

Shen Hui speechlessly pointed at the ground. Inside the gift box were piles of books.

Namely, the Four Books and Five Classics.

Shen Yue stared blankly for a while, before suddenly bursting into laughter. "Hahahahahahahaha!"
