Clothes?
Shen Yue suddenly thought of the time when Martha had tried on clothes for her, looking at Si Chengyou's unhappy expression.
She was no longer the Shen Yue who didn't know anything in Building 1 at the very beginning. What Si Chengyou said made her very doubtful that he was using the common memories between Martha and her.
Just as Shen Yue was about to ask tentatively, she heard a familiar voice coming from afar.
"Boss!!! Boss, why did you go out without calling me?!!" This was the guard dog Mo Aman who was left behind.
"Why did you take me out together when I haven't finished knitting my sweater yet." This one was the good wife and loving mother werewolf brother.
"So annoying. The master didn't want to bring you because you are noisy." This one was the cool and arrogant brother No. 14.
"Boss!!! Boss, I'm here to find you!!" After Mo Aman locked on to Shen Yue, he was moving forward at a speed beyond human limits.
Then he appeared between Shen Yue and Si Chengyou with tears in his eyes.
Shen Yue wanted to speak but stopped again and again, and finally turned into long silence.
It was Si Chengyou who broke the silence first, "Why don't you let your companions come together so that you feel more at ease."
Com, panions.
Hearing these two words, Shen Yue suddenly felt a little lost.
Mo Aman seemed very happy. Covering his face and giggling, "I'm just the boss's knife, how did I become a companion? This smelly man is quite good with words."
No. 14 didn't say a word, just stood behind Shen Yue. His meaning couldn't be more clear.
The only question the werewolf brother had was, "I want to go back and knit a sweater."
The end result was that Shen Yue and her three bodyguards entered Building 5 together.
This was the first time Shen Yue had come to Building 5. Compared to all the other buildings she had been to before, Building 5 was the most ordinary building.
There was no magnificent decoration, no elaborate etiquette, and no lifelessness that could last a day.
If you had to say it, it was ordinary, as ordinary as a normal residential building in any country outside, not a prison.
The relationship between the prisoners was not that between prison mates, but that of neighbors to each other.
Shen Yue even saw a prisoner knocking on another prisoner's door just to borrow a bowl and chopsticks.
These seemingly ordinary things seemed too weird at the Flightless Bird.
Shen Yue also saw Daniela's younger siblings. They had smiles on their faces and were glowing, and seemed to be doing well.
Shen Yue's group followed Si Chengyou all the way to the 36th floor, where the rulers lived.
Unlike other parts of Building 5, the place where Si Chengyou lived was like another world, not the difference between luxury and simplicity, but...the different eras.
As soon as they reached the 36th floor, there was a faint scent of sandalwood lingering in the air. In the nearest room within sight, there was a huanghuali wood table with rice paper on it, under which was an ink stone stand, and on the ink stone stand were a few writing brushes.
From Shen Yue’s angle, she could see that the rice paper was sketched with a few strokes of vigorous bamboo using ink wash painting.
The windows on Si Chengyou's floor were all carved flower windows, with delicate carvings indicating extraordinary work.
After walking a few more steps, they saw another room with a go board in it, on which was the remnants of a game. Next to the go board was a large rosewood rack with a large plate holding dozens of beautiful Buddha's hands.
Like Martha’s 34th floor, Si Chengyou's entire 36th floor was full of the breath of life.
These were all traces of Si Chengyou's life.
Each room had its own purpose.
The group walked in silence before finally stopping in front of a 300 square feet room filled with cheongsams. This was the gift Si Chengyou had prepared for Shen Yue.
"I don't know if you've ever worn such attire before. I had an intuition that it would look good on you, so I had them deliver it."
Shen Yue took a closer look at the clothes Si Chengyou bought and found that most of them were hanfu, with a small portion having the simplicity of modern clothing but still retaining obvious ethnic characteristics.
Shen Yue had seen such clothes before, but she had never worn them.
The clothes she wore at home were either school uniforms or formal dresses for attending formal occasions.
After moving in with her sister, her sister mostly wore simple and comfortable T-shirts and hoodies, so she followed her sister.
Si Chengyou walked over to Shen Yue and picked up a piece of clothing in front of her, "The crossover collar of hanfu represents the earth in the round heaven and square earth, the earth is the human way, that is, the square and the positive. The sleeves are round sleeves, representing the round heaven in the round heaven and square earth.
Hanfu dresses are usually wide-sleeved, displaying an easy and generous manner, elegant and dignified, graceful and vibrant style.
I feel... it will suit you very well."
After listening, Shen Yue placed her hand on the clothes Si Chengyou handed over, "Did you used to sell clothes before?"
After hearing this, Si Chengyou was not angry either, just smiled faintly, "It's my first time doing something like this. If I have upset you in any way, please forgive me."
Shen Yue took the clothes. The heavy clothes felt substantial in her arms. Shen Yue looked up and stared into Si Chengyou's eyes and asked softly, "What is your purpose?"
Si Chengyou's expression remained unchanged as he gently said, "I just want to make you happy."
Hearing this answer, Shen Yue withdrew her gaze, "You're lying. You are clearly not happy."
After speaking, Shen Yue brushed past Si Chengyou, carrying the clothes he had picked out for her, and took another one at random, beckoning to Mo Aman, "Aman, come here."
Mo Aman rushed over excitedly, hugging the clothes Shen Yue handed her and screaming, "Ah!!! Can I wear the same type of clothes as the boss? This is the happiest day of my life!!"
Shen Yue looked around and didn't see a dressing room, so she turned back and asked, "Si Chengyou, where is the fitting room?"
Si Chengyou still seemed to be in a daze. It took him a while to react and replied, "Sorry, it's over here, let me take you there."
Then Si Chengyou looked at Su Yunan again, "Why don't you go with Yunan, you’ll feel more at ease with her around."
Su Yunan was caught off guard by being called by name, just like a cat whose tail was caught, instantly bristling, "Don't call me by my name casually!"
Mo Aman watched from the side and exclaimed, "You're blushing! You actually blushed in front of a man. You are not wholeheartedly devoted to the boss after all!"
After saying that, Mo Aman hid behind Shen Yue and swaggered. Su Yunan was furious but helpless, and could only explain to Shen Yue awkwardly, "It's not like that, I was just angry...."
Shen Yue raised her hand and slapped Mo Aman hard on the back, admonishing her, "Don't bully Su Yunan."
Only then did Mo Aman apologetically say sorry to Su Yunan like a primary school student.
Si Chengyou watched the frolicking few, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily curved up.
Shen Yue seemed to sense something. She turned to look, and saw the fleeting smile in Si Chengyou's eyes.
This was the first time Shen Yue had seen such an expression on Si Chengyou's face, or maybe she didn't have the skills to see it before.
Shen Yue held the clothes Si Chengyou gave her and stood to the side, saying to Si Chengyou, "You seem to be happy again now."
This time Si Chengyou was no longer shocked like before at being seen through by Shen Yue. He frankly said, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've seen such a sight."
