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

Chapter 230

In the middle of the night, Shen Yue was afraid that Shen Hui would feel numb from sleeping on one side all night, so she deliberately woke her up and had her change positions.

Unexpectedly, after Shen Hui woke up, she was unwilling to go back to sleep.

Shen Hui was originally the kind of person who could keep going with just a short rest by relying on her willpower. She had just been half-coaxed and half-tricked by Shen Yue into lying down and falling asleep on her lap due to extreme fatigue earlier. Now that she had woken up clear-headed, there was no way she would accept this fact.

This was even more embarrassing than when she had slept in the same bed as Shen Yue in order to test her that day!

But Shen Yue didn’t care about any of that. She roughly knew what Shen Hui was thinking in her heart. And that was exactly why Shen Yue couldn’t let her think too much.

So Shen Yue tilted her head and directly leaned it on Shen Hui's shoulder, "If you're not going to sleep anymore, then I'll sleep for a bit."

Shen Hui felt very awkward with Shen Yue leaning on her like that. She had never been so close to anyone else before in her life, let alone having someone lean on her shoulder. But whether it was because her body was stiff or something else, Shen Hui didn't move in the end, nor did she push Shen Yue away.

Shen Yue usually liked to sleep in, but sitting and sleeping in the hospital was always uncomfortable. So she woke up early and casually said "good morning" to Shen Hui.

Shen Hui pretended not to hear her, wanting to ignore Shen Yue. But Shen Yue clearly didn't plan on letting her off easily. She deliberately went in front of Shen Hui and stared into her eyes, enunciating each word clearly: "You also have to say good morning to me."

Shen Hui didn't reply or avoid Shen Yue's gaze. The two looked into each other's eyes again.

They had been holding each other's gaze just fine. Neither was willing to back down, and Shen Hui even had an intuition that if she compromised here, there would be no turning back.

But suddenly, Shen Yue's eyes started moistening up. Before Shen Hui could react, a teardrop rolled down Shen Yue's eyes, like a severed pearl.

Shen Hui: ?

What was she doing, crying all of a sudden to make it look like Shen Hui was bullying her?

Shen Hui’s gaze subconsciously shifted to the elevator entrance where no one had come up yet. Shen Yue’s brothers hadn’t arrived, so she wasn’t shedding those tears to act in front of them.

So why was she crying?

Without realizing it, Shen Hui had murmured her doubts out loud.

Shen Yue casually wiped away her tears and explained, "I forgot to blink while looking into your eyes, so my eyes went dry."

Shen Hui: ......

How silly.

Did Shen Yue have a split personality? Why was the nighttime her so different from the daytime her?

In fact, because Shen Yue's subconscious still remembered that a person's mental defenses weaken after 10pm, after 10pm her subconscious would automatically strengthen the relaxed defenses, causing her to think more and also more easily manipulate memories rationally to achieve her goals.

So whenever Shen Yue harmoniously interacted with the prison memories (when she had clear goals), Shen Hui felt that Shen Yue was unfathomable. And whenever Shen Yue was full and rested, starting to act according to her true nature, Shen Hui would feel that Shen Yue had become a fool.

Like right now.

Crying because she forgot to blink while holding each other’s gaze, that was truly something.

As Shen Hui watched Shen Yue dabbing away her own tears looking so pitiful, she suddenly felt that it wouldn't hurt to say something.

"Goo..." Before Shen Hui could finish speaking, Shen Shuangyi's voice sounded from behind them.

"Yueyue, I've brought breakfast for you!”

Shen Hui turned to look. Sure enough, all of Shen Yue’s brothers had arrived.

She swallowed the words she was about to say back down.

But Shen Yue had already heard them. She scrunched up the tissue she was using to wipe her tears in her hand and gave Shen Hui a bright smile, "Thanks, good morning!"

She then greeted each of her brothers as well, "Second brother, good morning. What have you got there?"

Shen Shuangyi then started chattering away, introducing Shen Yue's breakfast, "Earlier you said you don't like drinking pure cow's milk right? I had the chef at home replace it with buffalo milk for you, try it. And this one..."

After Shen Shuangyi spoke for a while, Shen Yue suddenly cut in, "What about Huihui's?"

Shen Shuangyi paused, seemingly troubled.

Seeing that expression, Shen Hui could roughly guess what was going on. She scoffed and was about to make a sarcastic quip when she saw Shen Shuangyi hand over a box and awkwardly say, "Big brother said that you're too smart, so let you eat this dummy set meal to make you dumber..."

Shen Hui: ?

Shen Yue: !

What dummy set meal? Shen Yue was very curious. So she reached out to grab the lunchbox Shen Shuangyi had handed to Shen Hui and said, "Huihui you're so smart, it'd be too much of a waste for you to become dumb. Here, let me exchange mine with yours!"

Seeing Shen Yue make a grab for it, Shen Shuangyi knew she was going to stir up trouble. He pulled the box back a step and said, "You can't get any dumber!"

Watching this scene unfold before her, Shen Hui suddenly laughed softly. Only Shen Yue heard it.

Shen Yue stopped trying to snatch the box from Shen Hui and simply said, "Then let me see what's inside!”

Shen Shuangyi shot an inquiring look at Shen Hui.

It seemed Shen Hui had finally had enough of watching because she took over the lunchbox. Right in front of Shen Yue, she opened it.

Inside was a bowl of egg custard with the words:

[To Make You Dumber]
