Shen Yaowei was stunned.
She really hadn’t considered this question.
Shen Liu’an finally asked the question that had been troubling him for a long time. He didn’t rush Shen Yaowei to answer him and looked at her nervously.
After a while, Shen Yaowei blinked and looked at Shen Liu’an in confusion. “Daddy, don’t you know how to swim?”
“Just pretend that I don’t know how to swim. No, take it that Huo Junhan and I don’t know how to swim. Who will you save first?” Shen Liu’an asked.
Shen Yaowei pouted. “Such a question is so boring. Daddy, if you don’t know how to swim, how would I know?”
Shen Liu’an: “…What if you can swim?”
“But I’m afraid of water. I really don’t know how to swim.” Shen Yaowei shrank her neck and looked flustered.
Her desire to live forced her to play dumb.
Seeing Shen Yaowei like this, Shen Liu’an couldn’t bear to continue asking. He quickly said, “Then don’t think about it. Daddy won’t ask anymore.”
Shen Yaowei nodded and the corners of her lips suddenly curled up. “Father, you and my Ninth Imperial Uncle are equally important to me. If you really encounter danger, I’m willing to risk my life to protect you both.”
These words came from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Liu’an’s heart was warmed by Shen Yaowei’s words. For a moment, he had mixed feelings. He looked at the smiling girl with a complicated gaze and said, “1 don’t need Yaoyao’s protection. Huo Junhan is so powerful, and he doesn’t need Yaoyao’s protection. Yaoyao only needs to protect herself and be happy and healthy. That way, I’ll be satisfied.”
Shen Yaowei smiled and nodded gently.
“Daughter, how’s Huo Junhan?” Shen Liu’an suddenly changed the topic and asked.
“Ninth Imperial Uncle has already woken up. He looks fine.”
Shen Liu’an stood up. “Then I’ll go look for him. Don’t be in a hurry to go back and chat with your eldest brother and third brother.”
Shen Yaowei knew that Shen Liu’an was going to look for Huo Junhan to handle official business, so she stayed obediently for the time being.
Shen Yifeng and Shen Yuyan brought Shen Yaowei porridge and a few refreshing side dishes.
“Brother, this green bamboo shoot is delicious,” Shen Yaowei said to Shen Yifeng with a smile after taking a bite of the crisp green bamboo shoot.
“The village chief said that these green bamboo shoots were dug from the mountain. They are the specialty of Huangying Mountain,” Shen Yifeng said.
Shen Yaowei nodded and took a sip of the porridge, her eyes shining.
Ever since she arrived at Oriole Village, she had sensed an ominous aura.
This ominous aura didn’t come from the recent murders in Oriole Village, but the Feng Shui landscape here made her feel that something was wrong.
“Yaoyao, what do you want to do after eating?” Shen Yuyan asked gently.
“1 want to go to the mountain to dig for green bamboo shoots.” Shen Yaowei looked at Shen Yuyan and Shen Yifeng with bright eyes. “Then I’ll personally make some delicious food for you, Father, and Ninth Imperial Uncle.”
Delicious food.
Shen Yuyan and Shen Yifeng had never eaten what Shen Yaowei made. They couldn’t help but swallow.
“Yaoyao, actually, we have given the village chief some money to take care of our three meals a day. You don’t have to work so hard,” Shen Yifeng said with a dry cough, then gave Shen Yuyan a look.
Meeting Shen Yifeng’s gaze, Shen Yuyan said, “Brother is right. Cooking is too tiring. Actually, you don’t have to cook personally… But if you really want to cook, I’ll go up the mountain with you.”
Shen Yifeng:”…”
