Shen Yue watched as Si Chengyou picked up the broken teacup fragments, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in her heart.
She suddenly stood up, not caring whether it was appropriate or not, and directly turned to leave, "I'm going back now."
Si Chengyou didn't try to stop her as he picked up the broken teacup pieces, he just said to Mo Aman, "May I ask if there is an antidote to the poison you just administered?"
Mo Aman was about to follow in Shen Yue's footsteps when she suddenly didn't know what expression to put on her face, but she was strangely not very surprised.
It was rare for those in power to be simple people. For Si Chengyou to face the four of them alone, how could he not know he had been poisoned?
She giggled, took out a black thing from her pocket and handed it to Si Chengyou, "It's this thing, just smell it and you'll be fine!"
But Si Chengyou didn't take it. He just smiled, "I don't need it. Ordinary neurotoxins have no effect on me."
Mo Aman's outstretched paw paused. She suddenly felt like cursing what a psycho!
But she didn't dare, she could only silently withdraw her paw holding the black ball back.
Si Chengyou's eyes fell on the few people who were already walking towards the elevator, and he reminded, "They're leaving, you should go after them too."
Mo Aman looked and saw that her boss was already so far away from her. She hurried to catch up.
Halfway there, Mo Aman heard Si Chengyou's voice behind her urging, "Please tell Shen Yue that I'll be here waiting for her tomorrow too."
Mo Aman had just been startled by Si Chengyou. Before her brain could react, her body had already agreed on its own, "Okay."
By the time Mo Aman caught up with Shen Yue, she suddenly realized that the last time she had been unconsciously led by the nose was when her boss had plotted against her in the Werewolf game.
Wow, Si Chengyou was so scary, just as scary as her boss!
While feeling amazed and scared afterwards, Mo Aman relayed Si Chengyou's words to Shen Yue while they were riding the elevator.
Upon hearing Si Chengyou's invitation, Shen Yue didn't say anything, she just responded with an "Okay."
After returning to Building No. 7, Shen Yue went back to her cell alone and did not come out again. She didn't even touch the dinner No. 14 had sent over.
The next morning, No. 14 felt something was wrong. He went and knocked on Shen Yue's cell door, only to find that Shen Yue's door was unlocked and Shen Yue was gone.
What was missing along with Shen Yue were Ma Sha's ashes.
Mo Aman panicked directly, "Ahhhhh, which damned person took my boss away!!"
The Werewolf Brother hugged his sweater while knitting and said, "The only one who could have taken her away without us three noticing is the boss herself."
No. 14 looked at the empty table where Ma Sha's ashes were supposed to be placed, and had to admit that Shen Yue had indeed left on her own.
He rubbed his temples helplessly, feeling the resignation he hadn't felt in a long time since waiting on the two ancestors in Building No. 1, "Don't worry, if anything really happened to her, none of your earpieces would fall silent."
When No. 14 said this, he looked quite emotional, completely different from the cold expression on his face as he usually followed behind Shen Yue, looking as if he would bite everyone to death.
This made Mo Aman very curious. She kept pestering No. 14 and shouting, "Why wouldn't the earpieces fall silent? Come to think of it, the chips in our bodies allow the boss to contact us anytime, right? But why has the boss never contacted me before? Why? Why? Why?!"
No. 14 turned his head arrogantly, ignoring her. He didn't want to reason with a noisy woman at all.
Unless she had been noisy to the point of exceeding his limit.
In the end, No. 14 still sat down, lit a cigarette and talked about the past.
Back in the day, when he was still a prison guard, he had to buy 8 different types of desserts, 10 completely different flavored meals, and 6 or more types of fruit every day for the boss who was still in Building No. 1. Sometimes he even had to bring his men over to help the boss hold the ground. He almost held himself to death once...
Mo Aman listened with great interest. As she listened, she was about to scream, "The boss is so handsome!!"
The Werewolf Brother also stopped knitting his sweater, listening and nodding, "Yeah, cute."
No. 14 deeply agreed. After so long, he had finally met a like-minded person.
That's right, to him, the boss was not scary or handsome, but cute!
No. 14 decided not to go on missions today, but to sit down with the Werewolf Brother to further analyze some cute anecdotes about his boss.
"She used to only eat what I brought her when she was in Building No. 1. Once she ate a large piece of wasabi that she couldn't handle, but she didn't know beforehand. Her tears and snot kept flowing. Since then, whenever she saw wasabi, she would get sulky."
Werewolf Brother: "Cute."
Mo Aman: "The boss being sulky is also very handsome!"
"There was another time she said she wanted to drink Coke. After I brought her the Coke, her cellmate said she couldn't drink it now and took the Coke away to put in the fridge. Later I saw her secretly drink it all alone. When her cellmate found out, she said I was the one who drank it."
Werewolf Brother: "So cute."
Mo Aman: "Taking the fall for the boss is what you should do!"
"The thing she used to like to do the most was stare out the window blankly. Once I asked her what she was looking at, and she said she was thinking about how long a bird would have to fly before defecating, and when migratory birds migrate, how many terrestrial creatures would be hit by crap accumulatively."
Werewolf Brother: "Super cute!"
Mo Aman: "Nothing less expected from the boss!"
The three chatted about a bunch of things. They even just dealt with lunch perfunctorily, so when Shen Yue returned to Building No. 7 that afternoon, as soon as she walked in, she heard someone shouting "Boss".
"The boss is so handsome that I'm fainting from the handsomeness!"
"Boss, cute."
"Your boss is my master."
Shen Yue: ?
Carrying the urn, she walked straight over and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
Shen Yue's eyes fell on the sweater the Werewolf Brother was knitting. Compared to yesterday, there was not much progress, which meant the Werewolf Brother had barely knitted any sweaters today, so what was he doing?
Shen Yue's eyes then fell on No. 14. No. 14 looked away guiltily.
Shen Yue understood.
She didn't ask any further, and just turned to go back to her cell. Then she heard No. 14 asking caringly, "Did you have a good time today?"
Shen Yue's hand reaching for the door paused for a good while before answering, "Yeah."
"Si Chengyou... told me stories today, stories of being content."
The Book of Poetry says: The gentleman of character, I do not understand his conduct. He is content and does not ask for more, what is there that he lacks?
Confucius said: Wearing tattered clothes with fox fur, if one can stand together with those wearing fine furs without shame, one behaves so because of one’s aspirations. Being content and not asking for more, what does one lack? Zilu recited this all his life.
But do people who are content and do not ask for more really exist?
