Chapter 77: Afraid of Losing Face
“I will. Brother also told me that when the time comes, I can ask Brother if there’s anything I don’t understand. In any case, Brother will not find me annoying. Moreover, didn’t Sixth Brother say that he is… in the grade… Aiya, I think I will definitely be better than Sixth Brother when the time comes.”
Emily mischievously blinked her eyes. She thought of how proud Shen Nan was when he mentioned his grade ranking. She also wanted to try that feeling of pride.
“There’s definitely no problem. Our Millie is so amazing. She learned Go just by watching the Go video. There’s definitely no problem in learning it.”
Emily blushed from Second Aunt’s praise. She lowered her head in embarrassment. She knew Go because she had powerful external help. Otherwise, how would she know such profound things about Go?
As the two of them talked, Second Aunt had already prepared the dishes. Emily helped to bring the dishes to the table. During the meal, Shen Nan did not come down.
Emily had asked Third Aunt about it, but Third Aunt said unhappily, “Ignore him.” Emily instantly understood. It seemed that he really could not finish his homework. Forget it, she did not want to provoke Shen Nan.
For two days in a row, it was soon the start of school. Shen Yu left first with the driver. Before he left, he had repeatedly reminded Emily that he would be in Class 1 of the third year. After she had settled everything, she had to remember to look for him.
Emily and Second Aunt were waiting for Shen Nan. Not long after, they saw Shen Nan rushing down the stairs. He was wearing a beige suit with his school bag on his back. He quickly ran to Emily and Second Aunt. He looked around.
“Second Aunt, where’s my mother? Isn’t she going to school when I start school?”
Although his mother would not pick him up and send him off in the past, wasn’t Emily going to school today? It just so happened that she was in the same class as him. Didn’t she drop him off on the way? How did she become Second Aunt?
Emily gave Shen Nan a brilliant smile. Then, she handed the good bag in her hand to Shen Nan and said, “Sixth Brother, have you finished your homework? This is the breakfast that Second Aunt let you have. She said that you definitely won’t be able to have breakfast this morning.”
Shen Nan was touched and took it. He opened the bag and sniffed it. He said excitedly, “Second Aunt is the best to me.”
Emily seemed to have suddenly remembered something. She saw Shen Nan’s touched look, she continued to say, “Oh, right. Third Aunt asked me to bring you a message. She said that she won’t accompany you to lose face. She wants you to keep a distance from Second Aunt and me. She wants us to pretend that we don’t know each other. Otherwise, if you don’t finish your homework, you’ll be named and criticized. Second Aunt and I will also lose face.”
Shen Nan’s touched expression instantly froze. He looked at Emily with a bitter expression and said, “Millie, I was just touched. It’s not over yet. Can’t you say it later?”
“I’m afraid that I’ll forget it when the time comes, right?” Emily whispered, feeling a little wronged.
“Alright, you two stop being naughty. Hurry up and leave. Otherwise, you’ll really be late.” Second Aunt smiled and timely interrupted the conversation between Emily and Shen Nan.
However, in the car, the two of them were still arguing. Most of the time, Shen Nan was the one talking while Emily remained silent. In the end, Shen Nan could only threaten her angrily, “Millie, you have to know that you’re going to my class. If you want me to take care of you, you have to treat me better.”
However, Emily completely ignored Shen Nan and moved forward. Then, she looked at Second Aunt who was sitting in the front passenger seat, and said aggrievedly, “Second Aunt, Sixth Brother threatened me.”
“Good for you. Now you’ve learned how to complain, haven’t you?” Shen Nan could not believe that Emily actually started to complain in front of him. He stretched out his hand to scratch Emily’s crevices, but was blocked by Emily.
“Let me tell you, don’t touch me. Third Aunt told me to watch you in class. If you don’t treat me better, you see what I’ll say in front of Third Aunt.”
Shen Nan sighed, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely, “I knew it. If I let you be in the same class as me, nothing good will come out of it.”
Emily stuck out her tongue and smiled complacently. She had won, hadn’t she?
Second Aunt shook her head helplessly. Emily was very obedient in front of Shen Yu, but when it was Shen Nan, she was completely different. Shen Nan was always the one who suffered a loss.
