My Genius Sister is Only Seven!? Chapter 66

Chapter 66: Cold War

Shen Yu felt very troubled.

Emily was a little disappointed, but she still listened to Shen Yu and said in a low voice, “Okay.” “Fifth Brother is right. We’ll go eat when I’m better.”

“I’m tired. Let’s go back.” Shen Yu felt even more frustrated. He took Emily’s hand and left, completely ignoring Shen Nan who was frozen on the spot.

Emily also looked at Shen Yu with some confusion. Shen Yu today was very strange. Could it be that something bad had happened in school?

Emily did not dare to speak and could only quietly follow Shen Yu. Shen Yu sent Emily to her room and let her rest well. Then, he went straight to his room and closed the door without looking back.

Emily looked at Shen Yu’s tightly shut door and frowned. She was at a loss. This was the first time she had seen Shen Yu like this.

Initially, Emily wanted to ask Shen Yu the next day. However, when she woke up, Shen Yu had already gone to school. She waited for Shen Yu to finish school, but Shen Yu seemed to be intentionally avoiding her. She did not see Shen Yu for a few days.

For a few days in a row, Emily was lifeless. She was absent-minded in everything she did. Even when she was with Second Aunt, Emily could not muster up any spirit.

“What’s wrong with these two children? Xiao Yu goes out early and comes back late every day. Millie is the same. She’s not in the mood all day.”

Second Aunt spoke with some worry. She did not even have any interest in the TV series that she usually watched.

“I haven’t heard of any conflict between the two children.” Third Aunt handed the apple that had just been peeled to Old Lady Shen with a worried look.

“Xiao Yu has just recovered a little. Do you think he will be the same as before?” Third Aunt said carefully. Shen Yu had finally become a little more lively. If he became the same as before… What should they do?

“What are you two worried about? It’s better for the two children to have a conflict.” The smile on the corner of Old Lady Shen’s eyes did not disappear. Compared to the worry of the two aunties, Old Lady Shen appeared to be more shrewd.

“Mom, aren’t you worried?” Second Aunt was a little puzzled. Everyone in the family knew how much Shen Yan and Old Lady Shen cared about Shen Yu. It was a little illogical for her to be so calm now.

“What’s there to worry about? Isn’t Xiao Yu’s current state just a sign of his emotions?” Old Lady Shen took a bite of the apple and spoke softly. However, her gaze was fixed on the book in her hand.

“It seems like that’s the case. It’s just that we pity Millie. She hasn’t had any energy these few days.”

Third Aunt thought about it and couldn’t help but feel even more worried.

“Let the children solve their own problems. What do you adults have to worry about?” As soon as Old Lady Shen said this, Second Aunt and Third Aunt instantly stopped talking. However, the two of them could not help but feel worried.

“If you have time to worry about the children, you might as well worry about when Second and Third Brother will come back.”

“If nothing unexpected happens, they should be back next month. They said that this matter is a little tricky,” Second Aunt hurriedly replied when she heard Old Lady Shen asking about her Second Brother and Third Brother.

“Second Brother and Third Brother have been gone for almost two months, right?” Third Aunt thought about it and couldn’t help but miss them. Now that she thought about it, the two of them hadn’t seen each other for such a long time.

“Your Second Brother said that they have found some clues, but they always feel like they are being led by the nose. Every time they catch a clue, it ends up being broken again.” Second Aunt frowned and sighed deeply.

“If it doesn’t work, let them come back. Disgusting rats will always come out to look for food. There is no need for us to keep guarding the rat hole.” Old Lady Shen frowned slightly and a trace of hatred flashed across her face.

“But they won’t listen. The two of them have been blaming themselves. If they don’t catch the person behind them, how can they be satisfied?”

Second Aunt also sighed. She had persuaded them to come back more than once. After all, they had been out for such a long time and she was very worried.

“I’m a little tired. I’ll go to my room to rest for a while.” Old Lady Shen’s expression was not good. She stood up but did not forget the book she had put aside. She took it and went back to her room.

Second Aunt and Third Aunt fell into silence for a moment. They knew very well why Old Lady Shen had suddenly left, but they did not know how to persuade her, because that matter was also an eternal pain in their hearts.
