Shen Xianxian and Shen Yueyue are indeed two completely different beings.

After leaving the house, Xiao Chenxing tentatively asked, only to be disappointed to find out that the cunning Shen Yueyue had indeed sent Shen Xianxian out to take the blame.

"Did she do something bad here?"

Xiao Chenxing was taken aback, unsure, "You don’t know what she did?"

Shen Xianxian gave a shy smile, "Some things I know, some I don’t. If I sleep deeply, I won’t know.

If I’m not sleeping deeply, I can follow along and watch."

So there was even such a theory. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Xiao Chenxing and Hongguo exchanged a glance, Hongguo curiously asked, "Are you afraid of her?"

"You mean, Yueyue?"

"Yes."

Shen Xianxian’s expression was serious, "She’s a really good person. Her existence is to protect me, so how could I be afraid of her?

She’s the brave me, and I’m the timid her."

From beginning to end, the two of them were one.

Without either of them, it wouldn’t work.

...

Shen Xianxian was still quite reserved, but once Xiao Chenxing and Hongguo both got into the water, she couldn’t hold herself back any longer and eagerly rolled up her pants.

Wen Ran, sitting nearby watching, yawned and snatched the hawthorn from Bao Wenxuan’s hand.

She took a bite and contorted her face from the sourness, feeling as if her soul had left her body.

Bao Wenxuan: "..."

Wanted to laugh, but had to hold it in.

"Seriously, what were you thinking?"

It took Wen Ran a while to recover.

She swallowed the excess saliva in her mouth, "What were you thinking, messing with this terribly sour thing like it’s some treasure in your hands.

What? Afraid I wouldn’t fall for it?"

"Hahaha," Bao Wenxuan teased, "I didn’t pry your mouth open and beg you to eat it!"

She devoured a hawthorn in one go, spitting out seeds like a machine gun.

Wen Ran: "..."

Oh my heavens, this really is an eye-opener.

Turns out, there really are people who can eat such sour things.

"You’re pregnant, and yet you’re not even as good as me at eating sour things."

Wen Ran shook her head wistfully, "I can handle sour, but only vinegar and garlic; this kind of fruit sourness, I really can’t enjoy it at all."

Cold dishes with vinegar, that’s really something to savor.

Sour fruits, just can’t do it.

"Alright then," Bao Wenxuan popped another hawthorn into her mouth, looking at the leisurely Wen Ran, couldn’t help but say, "Seriously, with your belly not showing yet and not being too tiring, you should take out your books and read more, consolidate your knowledge, it’s a good thing."

Wen Ran: "..."

She looked at Bao Wenxuan, "Reading makes me sleepy."

Bao Wenxuan maintained a kindly smile, her face said it all, go ahead, keep making things up, just to avoid studying, spouting nonsense now, who do you think you’re fooling?

With a gentle expression, she handed a book to Wen Ran, "Here, help me solve this problem."

Wen Ran: "?"

Although puzzled, she still took the book and looked at it.

When Bao Wenxuan pulled a pickled radish from her carry-on pocket, it was too late.

Indeed.

Wen Ran had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Bao Wenxuan: "...?"

She held the pickled radish, a bit bewildered.

Even a little at a loss.

In the river, Hongguo, catching fish and shrimp, noticed Wen Ran asleep, shook her hands dry, came ashore, and pulled a small blanket from her cross-body bag.

Covering Wen Ran, she didn’t forget to comfort her, "It’s alright, my sister has been sleeping a lot lately, sleeping wherever she goes, it’s normal."

Covered her belly, and even folded her cross-body bag, wrapped it with her own clothes, gently holding Wen Ran’s head, and placed it underneath as a pillow.

"All set," Hongguo smiled sweetly, "Sister Bao, please watch over my sister, wait till I catch a big fish with Star and Xianxian, and we’ll eat together."

"Hahaha," Bao Wenxuan dared not say that Wen Ran’s sleeping everywhere had her share of influence, awkwardly agreeing.

Then watched as Hongguo walked away.

Soon a few gossiping old women came by to wash clothes, seeing Wen Ran sleeping nearby, couldn’t help but start whispering and pointing fingers.

"Tell me, what’s up with young people these days?"

"Hmm? What’s up Aunt Zhang, why do you say that?"

Aunt Zhang pouted her lips, rolled her eyes at Wen Ran, "Isn’t it obvious?

When we got married back then, we were always afraid of not being hardworking enough, worried about being disliked by the in-laws, but look at these youngsters now.

Oh dear, they’re already asleep, I wonder how they can even fall asleep."

"Exactly," the nearby aunt wearing worn-out shoes joined in the criticism immediately.

"Look at them, eat the best, drink the best, wear the best, they’re unbelievably lazy.

I said to Song Shilan’s mother earlier, she should pick a daughter-in-law with eyes wide open. Didn’t listen and picked a zhiqing, and what happened?"

She clapped her hands and mocked: "Brought an ancestor home, eats the best, uses the best, doesn’t do any work.

Not to mention..."

Nodding over there, pouting, "Brought along a leech, if it were the old days.

Humph, would have taught this freeloader a lesson."

"Oh, such a big face."

Bao Wenxuan: "...?"

She looked at those women, couldn’t hold back, "Aren’t you all full with nothing better to do?"

"Mind your business, whether we’re busy or not!"

Facing Bao Wenxuan, the women became more defiant, throwing a contemptuous glance at Bao Wenxuan, muttering, "Hmph!

If you ask me, there isn’t a single good zhiqing. Look, we can’t even get the good job of duck herding, yet this outsider zhiqing managed to do it.

Isn’t it ridiculous?"

Talking about this, the women turned sour.

Think about it.

Duck herding is a good job, especially after ducks start laying eggs, stealing ducks can be noticed, but sneaking two or three eggs home daily, who can tell?

In the eyes of some ill-intentioned women, the job Bao Wenxuan did was seen as hitting the jackpot.

Can’t finish eating eggs daily.

"Oh, enough, enough, stop talking about it, anyway, if they like being a sucker, let them."

"Absolutely, anyway, if my son dares to bring a zhiqing daughter-in-law home in the future, I’d break that unfilial son’s legs."

Bao Wenxuan chuckled in anger, examining that woman up and down.

"You really think you’re something with a leek in a pig’s nose, acting like an elephant.

As if a zhiqing would marry into your family, I spit, who would see you as good enough."

"What do you mean?!"

The aunt was furious, stood up, arms akimbo glaring at Bao Wenxuan, "You damned girl, who do you think you’re looking down on?"

"Whoever’s barking, I’m looking down on them."
