Even if I'm a Fake Heiress, I Will Dare to Be Trashy

Chapter 147

Shen Yue moved her neck. Tang Yi had gripped her a little too hard and it hurt.

Although it looked like Tang Yi had casually placed his hand on her shoulder, only Shen Yue knew that not only was Tang Yi holding down her shoulder, he was also subtly controlling the back of her neck.

It was an extremely dangerous action, representing threat and a desire for control.

Shen Yue looked up to meet Tang Yi's icy blue eyes. She suddenly felt something strange, but couldn't grasp what the feeling was. She could only vaguely judge that the current situation was not as simple as it appeared.

"The rules state that only people from Building 2 can become dogs," she said, implying that Tang Yi could not be a dog.

Shen Yue had always remembered all the rules for each building.

She used to just remember them, but now she was learning to utilize them.

Upon hearing Shen Yue's words, Tang Yi was not surprised at all. His guess had been correct - what were the chances that someone so compatible would just happen to be in this prison?

Tang Yi flung Si Chengyou's hand away with one hand, while smiling at Shen Yue, "Sure enough, you know the rules... However, stray dogs don't deserve a place to belong. They should be disemboweled, their corpses left in the wilderness for seagulls to feed on without leaving a whole body behind."

As he spoke, Tang Yi's words carried meaning.

Shen Yue frowned at Tang Yi, undisguised displeasure on her face. "Did the stray dogs provoke you? Why do you want to disembowel them?"

Why?

How would Tang Yi know why?

He had just used that metaphorically, only to threaten a despicable guard, only to make others afraid. He had no why.

Besides, that was a different stray dog.

Shen Yue could really... ask such adorable questions.

For no reason at all, Tang Yi's rising violent mood was strangely suppressed by Shen Yue's words.

He moved closer to Shen Yue again, not using force this time, just whispering closely beside her ear:

"Whenever I feel like disemboweling someone, I'll just go ahead and do it. I don't need a reason. But if you don't want me to do that, then I won't."

A familiar mechanical voice translated his words through the earpiece, but beside her ear was Tang Yi's true, young voice, as well as his breath, warmly brushing past Shen Yue's ear...

Making her want to scratch.

And Shen Yue did indeed lift her hand to scratch, almost catching Tang Yi's face. Luckily he dodged just in time.

Rather than dodging just in time, it was more of Tang Yi's instinctive reaction. He was very sensitive to danger, no matter how subtle.

After scratching her ear, Shen Yue didn't respond to Tang Yi's previous words. Instead, she walked straight to Number 14 and stood expressionlessly beside him as she looked at Tang Yi. "Thank you for what you taught me at Building 6. So I won't make a big deal out of your plotting against me earlier."

Hearing Shen Yue's words, the corners of Si Chengyou's mouth turned up slightly. Only then did he say to Tang Yi, "Your building's 30th floor inmate got caught at Building 3. You'd better go deal with it now, otherwise Building 3 might refuse to sell you all information in the future."

Si Chengyou's voice had a unique charm to it.

The breeze blew gently, the waters did not stir.

He always observed everything from a lofty position, as if nothing could ever fluster him.

Upon hearing Si Chengyou's words, Tang Yi let out a soft scoff. He had indeed seen the top brass from Building 4 beckoning anxiously at him from afar earlier, but he had ignored them the whole time.

After listening to Si Chengyou's words, Tang Yi looked again at the Building 4 inmate's anxious gesturing. Finally, he stroked his hair beside his ear helplessly and pretended to sigh as he said to Shen Yue, "I was only joking with you because I wanted to get closer to you. If you don't like it, I won't do that next time. I have something urgent to attend to today. I'll come apologize another day."

Tang Yi said this without expecting Shen Yue to respond. He should say, no matter what he did, he only followed his own heart, not caring what others thought.

But just as he was about to leave, he heard the clear, cool, and aloof female voice gently sounding beside his ear: "Okay."

Tang Yi couldn't help but look back at Shen Yue.

There was no real wind or sunlight in this prison. Everything was fake.

But Shen Yue stood there, her white skirt fluttering, exquisite beyond compare. With a turn of her head, graceful and elegant, like a lotus emerging from the water, pure as jade.

Although Tang Yi knew Shen Yue's gaze towards him held no meaning, for an instant, he still saw different colors on Shen Yue.

Ever since Tang Yi killed that person, he felt that everyone was hard to trust. To him, whether inside or outside prison, everything was grey - the only difference was safe grey versus dangerous grey.

Shen Yue was very beautiful.

She had color to her.

Upon realizing this, Tang Yi instinctively looked away. When he realized what he had done, he let out a soft chuckle.

He didn't hide his loss of composure. Instead, he waved at Shen Yue, "I'll get going first today then. I'll come apologize tomorrow. Don't be mad at me!"

Shen Yue didn't reply. After Tang Yi left, she turned to Si Chengyou and said, "I'll eat with Number 14."

It sounded almost like she was dismissing him, but Si Chengyou knew this was Shen Yue asking if he wanted to join them.

Don't ask how he knew.

Although the time he had spent with Shen Yue was not long, it was enough for him to understand her patterns of action and communication.

Up until now, Shen Yue was still a simple person, yet very smart. She was able to detect Tang Yi's little trick today.

Somehow, Si Chengyou felt a swell of fatherly pride within, thinking that she was indeed a teachable child.

Si Chengyou took out a handkerchief from who-knows-where and started wiping his hands as he responded, "I'll join you guys."

The moment he finished speaking, Number 14's gaze swept over.

Unlike the tender gaze he always regarded Shen Yue with, Number 14 looked at Si Chengyou with anything but goodwill. One could even say his gaze seemed murderous.

But Number 14 was different from Tang Yi. No matter how many thoughts he had inside, he would not go against Shen Yue's will. So after Shen Yue nodded, Number 14 did not say anything else.

After finishing wiping his hands, Si Chengyou noticed Shen Yue's eyes on his handkerchief, so he asked, "Would you like this?"

Looking at the embroidered handkerchief, Shen Yue said, "The embroidery on it is very beautiful."

Si Chengyou paused for a bit before putting the handkerchief back into his chest pocket. "If you'd like one, I can get you a new one another day."

Shen Yue looked at him. "I don't have anything left I can give you."

In Shen Yue's current perspective, she didn't dare accept anything from prison that she could obtain without giving something in return.

After hearing Shen Yue say this, Si Chengyou did not reveal any surprise. He just gently said, "Shen Yue, don't believe others' words. You have to judge for yourself."

"Then is what you just said believable?"

Si Chengyou: ...
