When he heard the man's cold words, Mr. Shen became slightly petrified, and the chess piece in his hand almost shook off.
Fortunately, Mr. Shen had enough concentration and finally landed the chess piece firmly on the chessboard.
Shen Chaoxi chuckled.
"Grandpa, you lost again."
Her serious tone.
"I told you not to be distracted when playing chess."
Shen Songnian walked in and took a look at the situation on the chessboard, and couldn't help but speak.
With that said, he stood next to Mr. Shen and glanced coldly at the chessboard on the table, his eyebrows looking indifferent.
Mr. Shen's eyes sank: "Who is to blame?"
It's not all his grandson's fault.
He and Ah Chao played chess well.
Why did you come here to scare him?
But he still cast his eyes towards the chessboard in confusion.
Sure enough, when Shen Chaoxi dropped the last chess piece, the situation on the chess board was already very tense.
And as long as Mr. Shen can't break her game, the next step will be to decide the outcome.
So for Mr. Shen, no matter which step he takes, the result will be the same.
All lose.
"..."
Mr. Shen's eyebrows twitched, his brows were furrowed, and his kind face turned serious in an instant.
"Why, you've finished handling the affairs of the General Military Region and you know you're going home?"
"Grandpa, you don't have to be weird."
Shen Songnian said coldly.
Mr. Shen raised his chin proudly.
As if telling Shen Chaoxi.
Do you understand?
This is called preconception.
Find a reason to reprimand him, and he won't have a chance to lecture you.
But Shen Songnian seemed to have long been accustomed to Mr. Shen's pampering and protection of his sister.
He didn't say anything.
He just glanced at the little girl sitting opposite, his eyes slightly raised: "You don't even recognize me, brother?"
Shen Chaoxi: "..."
What a crime.
"Brother." Shen Chaoxi shouted in a low voice, touching his deep and slightly scrutinizing gaze, as if he was still the head of the general military region. How about looking at the prisoner?
"Well, I also know how to call you brother."
Shen Songnian was very satisfied with her nervous reaction.
"That means the injury is not serious."
His brows and eyes were furrowed, and even his tone revealed a kind of sarcasm. Isn't this anger?
So nervous.
Scared.
Panic... But how could he tell that she wasn't seriously injured?
At this time, Shen Songnian seemed to have guessed what she was thinking.
"Didn't break my brain."
He said slowly.
Even the look he looked at Shen Chaoxi was neither sullen nor angry, and his expression remained calm when he spoke. Everything seemed calm.
There was no trace of his anger.
At this time, Mr. Shen suddenly felt that the air was stuffy. It must be like this when the temperature is high in summer.
Then, he raised his eyes, glanced at Shen Chaoxi opposite, who had his eyes lowered and his eyebrows lowered, and said, "No more fun."
He felt a little guilty, his eyes were a little wandering, and he didn't dare to look at Shen Songnian's deep gaze beside him. Instead, he pretended to be angry and dropped the chess piece he was planning to place somewhere.
"I haven't won much."
"Old man, I'd better take a nap."
With that said, he stood up from the stone bench, patted the non-existent dust on his clothes, put his hands behind his back, and walked out of the pavilion without looking back.
The old housekeeper quickly followed.
Mr. Shen winked wildly and walked away quickly.
Go faster.
Shen Chaoxi looked at Mr. Shen's speed from getting up to leaving with some astonishment. It could only be said that the soles of his feet were greased, and he wished he could fly away directly.
Sliding faster than a rabbit.
Haha, Shen Chaoxi: "..." OK.
Grandpa, you are really good.
The next second, the aura around the man suddenly became cold. He sat on the stone bench where Mr. Shen had left before, with a slight frown on his face and a cold voice.
"Look up at me."
"..."
"elder brother."
She heard the man's unquestionable and majestic tone speaking in front of her.
Shen Chaoxi raised her eyes, moved her lips honestly, and shouted like a mosquito.
"Now you know you're afraid?"
Shen Songnian's eyebrows moved slightly.
When he saw her pale and shameless face, his black eyes were covered with coldness.
"How come you don't know how to be afraid when you risk your own life?"
"..." That's all for being scolded.
You are still sitting in front of me wearing a military uniform. Are you afraid that I can't see the star medal on your shoulder?
In terms of both emotion and reason, he is her leader and must be obeyed.
"Brother, I was wrong."
Shen Chaoxi raised her finger and said with a serious expression.
"I promise you, there will be no next time."
See her like this.
Shen Songnian suppressed the words that came to his lips.
"Have you seen a doctor?"
Shen Songnian glanced at her injured leg, his expression was calm, but his whole body was cold.
There was no warmth in his handsome face, but when he was talking to Shen Chaoxi, his powerful aura penetrated overwhelmingly.
Shen Chaoxi only felt that the surrounding temperature had dropped a lot.
A little cold.
On the opposite side, Shen Songnian's face had no emotion, his eyes were deep and cold, and he pursed his thin lips tightly. His eyes were dull and emotionless, but Shen Chaoxi knew that he must be angry.
Because you are angry, you blame.
But it was also because he was worried about her safety.
"See..." Shen Chaoxi said in a weak voice.
How dare she speak more.
After all, she came back with injuries all over her body.
Brother, they only know that she injured her leg. If they knew what happened to her in Dongzhou and the injuries she suffered, forget it, it would be scary to think about it.
However, just when Shen Chaoxi was thinking about this, she suddenly heard a man's deep voice speak, as if he could see through her heart.
"Is there any other injury?"
"..."
Shen Chaoxi shook his head.
"No."
He shook his head momentarily.
"Really not?"
There was a hint of scrutiny in Shen Songnian's eyes, and his eyes were slightly sunken. Even the gaze he looked at the girl seemed to have the weight of a thousand pieces of gold, falling on Shen Chaoxi's face.
Make eye contact with her.
"No."
Shen Chaoxi said firmly.
When Shen Songnian heard her words, his eyes were suspicious, and something strange flashed in his deep pupils.
But thinking of her current body, Shen Songnian pursed her thin lips, and there were emotions in her eyes that others could not understand.
He said: "I believe you for now."
But as he spoke, his Adam's apple slid slightly, and he let out a slow sigh of relief.
His sister.
Do you really think that no one can see through what is hidden in her eyes?
But if you see through it without telling her, what else can you do except believe her first?
He couldn't bear to reprimand her.
"Brother, did you come back because of me?"
Shen Chaoxi saw his cold face. Shen Songnian's eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was always cold. But when he heard her words, his eyebrows relaxed for a moment.
"Um."
He responded expressionlessly.
Suddenly, he didn't know what he was thinking of, but Shen Songnian looked at Shen Chaoxi with a sharper and colder look.
"I will handle the Shen family's affairs."
"If you are injured, just stay home and rest."
Shen Xin's matter.
He found out on the way back.
Therefore, a trace of complicated emotions flashed across Shen Songnian's eyes.
