Jiang Que: “…Wait a minute.”
He seriously doubted that Shen Tazhi’s mention of “mysterious tragic death” and “legal means” meant only what they seemed to on the surface.
“What’s so interesting about that?”
He blinked, unable to believe it, and asked Shen Tazhi incredulously.
Shen Tazhi smiled at him, looking into his eyes, “I’m talking about the interesting part, you haven’t really lived in human society, so you don’t understand.”
Jiang Que silently finished the last sip of honey water.
He didn’t believe a word of Shen Tazhi’s nonsense.
At this moment, a small tentacle whispered:
[Will Ye Bingli also seek revenge like this?]
[Right, the novel, where did we stop last night?]
[When Ye Bingli and Su Mo went home!]
Jiang Que’s thoughts were quickly led astray by the tentacles, and he used one to shake Shen Tazhi, who was eating toast, “What about after that?”
He naturally skipped the previous topic, abruptly asking about Ye Bingli’s story. Shen Tazhi smoothly picked up the conversation:
“The next thing was I fell down, and then I met you.”
Jiang Que paused for a moment, only then realizing his words had been ambiguous, and added, “Not you, I meant to ask about Ye Bingli.”
Shen Tazhi showed a disappointed expression, “So it wasn’t about me? By the way, Jiang Que, you’ve never called me by my name during our conversations.”
Setting down what he was holding, he looked directly at Jiang Que, smiling, “Call my name once, and then I’ll continue with the story.”
A strange request.
Jiang Que, puzzled, spoke, “Shen Tazhi.”
A flicker of disappointment seemed to pass over Shen Tazhi’s face, but it quickly disappeared. He maintained his non-threatening smile since they first met and said, “Alright, let me tidy up a bit, and then I’ll come back to tell you.”
Jiang Que looked at Shen Tazhi in confusion, contemplating his expression from earlier.
Disappointed? Why? Don’t you like the name “Shen Tazhi”?
But he said it himself, that’s his name.
Jiang Que suddenly remembered the first time he met Shen Tazhi, and the word “gege” inexplicably popped into his mind. He couldn’t help but shiver and quickly shook his head.
Leaving aside the fact that he and Shen Tazhi were not actually brothers, calling him “gege” was just too nauseating.
He must have been out of his mind at the time, or else why would such a term suddenly pop into his head?
Shen Tazhi quickly tidied up the breakfast utensils, returned to the corner where they had slept last night, and Jiang Que sat on the ground, holding one of his small tentacles and listening.
The small tentacle he held happened to be the one that had wrapped around Shen Tazhi last night, the same one that had initially coiled around Shen Tazhi. The dark little tentacle saw Shen Tazhi again and happily turned its pointed tip, greeting him.
It faced Shen Tazhi once again, hey!
When Shen Tazhi sat down, he also saw the twisting little tentacle. His expression paused for a moment, and he remembered what happened last night, his neck reddening in the darkness.
Did Jiang Que really know what this tentacle was…
His thoughts were interrupted, and the impatient Jiang Que directly used a tentacle to circle his waist and pulled him down.
“Continue telling me, what happens next.”
Jiang Que’s eyes sparkled, almost leaning directly towards Shen Tazhi.
Shen Tazhi’s breath paused for a moment, and it wasn’t until the tentacle released him that he slowly began, “Next is…”
【 Next, Su Mo, who was hesitant about going to England with Ye Bingli, returned to her own home. She discovered that her parents had adopted a foster daughter named Su Li1wrong novel Su Li. Get back to your dog!! The Evil God is Going Back to Work reference for those who don’t know., who, under Su Li’s influence, had her original fiancé, childhood friend Ye, engaged to Su Li instead. Heartbroken, Su Mo left home, determined to leave with Ye Bingli.
At the airport, they encountered Bai Mengling, who was sobbing on the ground after being abandoned by her boyfriend. They found out that she was the youngest third princess of the British royal family, Liu Meng Shuangyue Bailuo F Yunyin.
Luo Shang reached out to Bai Mengling, “In that case, you should rely on your own strength to stand up and seek revenge.”
Bai Mengling wiped away her tears, casting aside all her weakness and sadness, grasped Luo Shang’s hand, stood up with her strength, and nodded firmly, “Yes!”
Su Mo—or Mo Yu Diemeng Liuli Ziyan—smiled gently beside them, “Then let’s go to England together.”
After experiencing betrayal from her family, in just half a day’s time, the once lovely Mo Yu seemed to have changed. There was a hint of determination and decisiveness in her smile, somewhat similar to the initial Luo Shang.
Bai Mengling adjusted her skirt and smiled, “Alright, let’s depart together!”
The private plane of the British royal family happened to arrive at that moment. The three of them turned around together, leaving only their silhouettes in this sorrowful city.
Three years later, they would definitely come back for revenge!】
Jiang Que was already dumbfounded by this point.
He had seen being framed by an adopted daughter, being abandoned by a boyfriend, but the plot of being directly turned into a princess of the British royal family after being abandoned, he had truly never seen before.
Thinking this, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at Shen Tazhi, who was calmly reading the contents of the book, momentarily lost in thought.
Shen Tazhi, also having a miserable life due to his uncle’s family, seemed even more like Su Mo now. Could it be…
“What are you thinking about?”
Shen Tazhi noticed Jiang Que’s gaze, put down the book, and asked.
Jiang Que blurted out, “What exactly is your identity?”
Shen Tazhi, coming to his senses, chuckled helplessly, “I am just Shen Tazhi, I don’t have another name.”
Jiang Que, hugging his knees, asked, “In the human world, is there really someone like Ye Bingli?”
“Maybe?” Shen Tazhi replied uncertainly, “Human novels are mostly based on reality but adapted and processed. Perhaps there are similar people, just not with such… hmm, drama.”
There might be someone similar to Ye Bingli, but not as exaggerated, wasn’t that Shen Tazhi?
But Shen Tazhi was currently stuck with him underground, unable to go back and take revenge on his brother.
Thinking of Shen Tazhi’s previously casual description, Jiang Que felt a bit inexplicably frustrated. Seeing Shen Tazhi still calm as ever, seemingly unconcerned about whether he could go back and deal with his brother made him even more upset.
Being bullied and not even planning to retaliate, with such a gentle temperament, he deserved to be bullied by other humans.
Fuming with anger, Jiang Que said, “I don’t want to continue listening today.”
“Alright.” Shen Tazhi closed the book without any objections and asked naturally, “What do you want to eat tonight?”
Since Jiang Que had slept until noon, they hadn’t had breakfast, and now it was almost time to prepare dinner.
Jiang Que immediately forgot what he had been thinking about and curiously moved closer to Shen Tazhi, peering into his backpack:
“What’s in there? Did you bring some tasty human food?”
Shen Tazhi pulled out a can, “Do you want to try some meat? I also brought self-heating rice and some vegetables. We can have the most common human dinner tonight.”
Dinner? Was there such a thing as this type of meal?
Jiang Que was puzzled.
A small alcohol lamp was lit, and Jiang Que had now adjusted to the light from the alcohol lamp. As long as he didn’t stare at it continuously, he wouldn’t tear up. He carefully observed the colorful packaging that Shen Tazhi had taken out, trying to make out the words on it.
The little tentacles behind him swayed, almost dancing in the air, indicating his good mood.
Jiang Que was indeed in a good mood.
Following what Shen Tazhi had said yesterday, after dinner, they could get ready to sleep. Before sleeping, he could listen to Shen Tazhi tell stories, and when he woke up tomorrow, there would be delicious food because this human would still be by his side.
Tomorrow.
Jiang Que chewed on the new word he had just learned on his tongue and couldn’t help but smile with his eyes squinted.
Though he hated humans a lot, at this moment, he surprisingly wished for this story to be a little longer, or for Shen Tazhi to speak a bit slower, so that there could be arrival of a second, a third… countless as possible, of the ‘tomorrows’ he was looking forward to.
