According to Shen Shuangyi, he has just finished filming his new play and can take a long break. Since his older brother is busy with work and can't stay at home for too long, he takes the opportunity to take care of these kids.
Shen Shuangyi believes he has some expertise in nurturing others. He aspires to live up to his younger sister's admiration and become the pillar in her heart.
So, after Shen Yichen takes Shen Yue to school, there are often three big kids left at home.
Shen Jize is fine; he remains quiet when Shen Yue is not around and sits alone in a position facing the front door, reading a book.
But Shen Wu can't sit still. He has many things to study, and once he becomes engrossed in his research, he often disregards the well-being of others.
Oh, except for the eldest brother and the fourth brother, maybe we can add Shen Yue now.
The second brother, that foolish Shen Shuangyi, is not within his concerns.
When Shen Yue and Shen Yichen return home, they often see Shen Shuangyi and Shen Wu with a few injuries on their bodies, or they can hear the two of them arguing as soon as they open the door.
"Shut up! If you're dumb, just sit quietly and watch. I don't have time to explain everything to you."
"Huh? What the hell are you saying, you little punk? You're using my stuff, and you ask if you need an explanation?!!"
"I paid for it."
"I'm not selling! Can't you understand?"
"I was just asking if you understand. So dumb."
"You're insane!"
In the midst of their loud quarrel, Shen Yue calmly walks through the middle of the two, announcing the final news, "Big brother is back."
Then it's time for the familiar scolding.
Who is it that, at this age, still gets scolded by their older brother because of a fight? It's Shen Shuangyi.
Who is it that, at this age, still argues with their older brother over a bottle of milk? It's Shen Wu.
Who is it that has experienced things they should and shouldn't have, even though they haven't gotten married or had children yet? It's Shen Yichen.
Who is it that joins the crowd to gossip and enjoys the spectacle? It's Shen Yue.
Every day is peaceful, and Shen Yue sometimes even feels like she's dreaming.
Everything seems too good to be true.
At the same time, she begins to doubt whether she can truly enjoy everything now.
After all, she is not a child of the Shen family.
It has been nearly a year and a half since she last dreamed of her eldest sister, and Shen Yue is now 14 years old.
On a certain day, after watching the showdown between her second brother and fifth brother as usual, she finally dreams of that familiar yet unfamiliar place again.
The No. 1 Building where she initially arrived at the prison.
The island where Flightless Bird is located is divided into nine zones, with eight buildings for the inmates. Each building has 36 floors, and the higher the floor, the fewer prison cells there are, and the larger the living space, housing stronger inmates.
The types of inmates and the conditions for climbing higher levels are different in each building.
The inmates in Building No. 1 are all true dignitaries, and they usually maintain regular contact with the outside world, playing an irreplaceable role.
Building 1 offers the best living conditions and resembles a luxurious prison. In this building, residents only need to work once a week, and even the worst cells are three times larger than those in other buildings, equipped with superior facilities. However, to live in Building 1, one must pay a substantial annual accommodation fee and be guaranteed by influential individuals from the outside world on an annual basis; otherwise, they will be randomly assigned to other buildings.
Building 2 is exclusively for assassins and mercenaries, where brute force reigns supreme.
Building 3 is the hacker's domain, where people delve into intelligence activities every day. It's a place where even the number of mice in a hole can be intricately determined.
Building 4 houses highly intelligent criminals whose level of mental derangement matches the meticulousness of their criminal plans.
Building 5 accepts all kinds of people and serves as a refuge for those who have nowhere else to go.
Building 6 is designated for medical personnel, specifically those with a medical background or exceptional medical talents. After all, ordinary doctors are unwilling to stay in such an isolated place, and seeking medical attention outside could result in irreparable consequences. Thus, Building 6 was established to address this premise.
By the way, the distance from Building 6 to all the other buildings is the same.
Building 7 houses individuals with outstanding talents in a specific area.
Building 8 is primarily for socializing and playing games like "You Draw, I Guess." It's a haven for gamblers.
The assignment of prisoners to these buildings is determined by prison rules, and climbing up the ranks within each building is determined by reaching the 36th floor of the respective building.
Those who reside on the 36th floor are known as the rulers of their building.
Upon arriving at the prison, Shen Yue received her first kind advice: until she fully understood the prison's rules, she should not venture outside the protective confines of Building 1. Furthermore... if she wished to continue living in the most comfortable and best-equipped Building 1, she had to amass a substantial amount of money and value.
Money... and value.
Shen Yue realized this.
Consequently, when she woke up, she abandoned her previous lazy attitude and set a firm and ambitious goal for herself.
She needed to make money!
In order to continually reside in Building 1, the most comfortable and well-appointed building in the prison, she had to amass a fortune!
Now the question arose, with the theory of money in mind, how should she practically proceed?
Shen Yue couldn't come up with a good solution for the time being. She pondered over it until she arrived at school, where she sat next to Qing Xiaoyu and let out a frustrated sigh, "Ah..."
Qing Xiaoyu, as expected, turned to look at her. However, this time she didn't lean over to touch Shen Yue's forehead but calmly asked, "What's wrong? Is the chair too hard again?"
Shen Yue shook her head. "No."
"Did your older brother tie your hair too tightly?"
Shen Yue felt her scalp and admitted that it was slightly sore, but it wasn't a big problem. "No."
"Did the car drive too fast today and you didn't get enough sleep?"
"No."
"Was your sleeping position incorrect last night?"
"...No."
Upon hearing this, Qing Xiaoyu carefully scrutinized Shen Yue once again, then confidently spoke, "Then, did your older brother forget to bring you yogurt today?"
Shen Yue silently took out the blueberry-flavored yogurt from her backpack and placed it on the table.
Qing Xiaoyu glanced at it and grew a little anxious. Since none of these reasons were the cause, why was Shen Yue sighing?
"What's wrong? Don't scare me," Qing Xiaoyu reached out and touched Shen Yue's forehead.
Everything is normal.
She was about to call Zhuo Wenfei to come and take a look, but then she heard Shen Yue speak with a very serious and earnest tone, "Sister Xiaoyu, tell me, how can I earn money?"
