Chapter 93
The awards ceremony ended, but Shen Shuyu still hadn’t recovered. His brain was somewhat hyperactive, staring blankly at his trophy.
“Shen Shuyu.”
Hearing someone call his name, Shen Shuyu looked up. People from Puce Planet were walking toward them. The leader was Yan Qing, and standing beside Yan Qing was a sulky-looking Bai Wei.
The person who called him was Yan Qing.
They were currently sitting backstage, waiting for staff to redeem their rewards. The ownership of the mecha was pretty much as he guessedâgiven to Chi Yanxun. The others also had some prizes, but the most anticipated was the bonus money.
Unexpectedly, the staff hadn’t arrived, but the people from Puce Planet came first.
Shen Shuyu stood up. The others also stood up and stood by Shen Shuyu’s side, like bodyguards protecting him.
Yan Qing raised both hands. “Friends, don’t be nervous. We just came to chat.”
He glanced at Bai Wei beside him. Bai Wei stepped forward and said, “About yesterday, sorry.”
Just after he finished, Ye Yang coughed lightly beside him. Only then did Bai Wei take a deep breath and enunciate clearly, “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have blocked you yesterday.”
Alright, so they came to apologize.
Looking at his awkward manner, Shen Shuyu raised an eyebrow slightly. “Understood.”
Bai Wei lowered his eyes to look at him. “Understood?”
Shen Shuyu said, “Otherwise? What else do you want me to say?”
Bai Wei wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Yan Qing beside him. He said, “We set off for home tomorrow morning. It was a pleasure meeting you all this time.”
He extended his hand to Shen Shuyu. “You are truly different from the Omegas I’ve seen. Hope to see you again in the future.”
Shen Shuyu also extended his hand. “Thank you.”
After letting go, Yan Qing looked at Chi Yanxun again. “Brother Chi, when there’s a chance in the future, let’s fight another round.”
“Definitely.” Chi Yanxun smiled at him.
Shen Shuyu glanced sideways, thinking to himself: So Chi Yanxun knows how to smile too.
Every time he saw him, he had a stern face; people who didn’t know better would think he was born lacking the factor of smiling.
Yan Qing chatted with Chi Yanxun for a while before their team teacher called them away. After they left, Shen Shuyu sat back down on the stool.
Lin Xuyi asked, “Happy now, Little Young Master?”
“It’s alright,” Shen Shuyu said. “But seeing Bai Wei eat crow is pretty satisfying.”
Lin Xuyi couldn’t help laughing. He Mingyue behind them heard it and chimed in, “I’m happy too. When I was caught by them, that kid Bai Wei hit really hard.”
Shen Shuyu raised his hand, made a fist, and thumped his chest, making a ‘brother understands you’ gesture.
He Mingyue saluted him.
The atmosphere within the team was relaxed. Chi Yanxun, sitting on the edge, seemed like an outsider. Clearly, at this time, as the captain, he should be presiding over the situation, but the center of the team had shifted to Shen Shuyu at some unknown time and place.
He pursed his lips, feeling an indescribable sensation in his heart, a bit clogged, not smooth at all. It wasn’t that he felt someone had replaced him as the team’s center, but rather he felt… how could that person be Shen Shuyu?
A person like a sticking plasterâit seemed that apart from himself hating him, everyone else liked him quite a bit.
Chi Yanxun’s gaze fell on Shen Xili again. He pursed his lips, remembering what Shen Xili had said to him.
Bullshit.
Chi Yanxun snapped out of it, truly unable to understand. Shen Shuyu had given him such attitude, yet he could still sidle up to him. Could it be he liked Shen Shuyu?
Chi Yanxun felt like he discovered something incredible. In the survival battle, Shen Xili seemed quite good to Shen Shuyu, defending him everywhere. Even when Shen Shuyu did something like abandoning him, he still defended him.
The others seemed to be the same. Lin Xuyi was the first to start talking about the Little Young Master constantly. Although He Mingyue and Wen Jiafei didn’t talk much, when it came to Shen Shuyu’s matters, they would still stand on his side.
Without him knowing, Shen Shuyu had hooked up with so many people!
Chi Yanxun’s expression darkened a bit. He looked again at Shen Shuyu surrounded in the middle. He didn’t hear clearly what they were saying, but Shen Shuyu seemed quite happy, his eyes curved in a smile like crescent moons in the sky.
He hadn’t noticed before. Was Shen Shuyu’s smile in the past… like this?
Chi Yanxun frowned, then curled his lips in disdain. He was really crazy; why did he care about Shen Shuyu?
They waited for a while longer before seeing the staff come over to let them fill out forms, nothing more than names and card numbers. They also said the bonus would be credited to their accounts within an hour.
One hour!
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help raising an eyebrow. He thought it would take at least seven working days; didn’t expect it to arrive in an hour!
Interstellar speed, truly extraordinary!
Shen Shuyu filled out the form happily. The academy teacher also came over. After they all finished filling out the forms and the staff left, the school teacher spoke up: “You guys did well this time.”
Chi Yanxun said gently, “Teacher, this is what we should do.”
The school teacher gave him an approving look and continued, “I won’t beat around the bush. The school is giving you extra vacation. Return to school next Monday.”
Today was only Wednesday. They could rest for four whole days!
Who wouldn’t love a vacation!
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help beaming with joy.
The school teacher added, “Not only that, the school has also prepared some rewards for you, but they will be given after you return to school next Monday. Look forward to it.”
Shen Shuyu couldn’t help asking, “Teacher, can’t you give us a hint?”
The school teacher knocked him on the head. “You have the nerve to ask?”
Shen Shuyu blinked and asked persistently, “I won’t ask about anything else, I just want to know if there’s a bonus?”
The school teacher said, “Aren’t you the Shen family’s Little Young Master? You look forward to a bonus too?”
“That’s different.” Shen Shuyu shook one finger left and right, making a ‘no’ gesture. “Family is family, I am me. Besides, who would complain about having too much money?”
Tycoons made so much money, yet you didn’t see them stopping!
The school teacher nodded. “Fine, you have a point. There is a bonus, but don’t get happy too early; it’s just a token amount.”
“As long as there is one.” Shen Shuyu saluted properly. “Guarantee to arrive at school on time next Monday.”
The school teacher shook his head again and walked away swaggeringly.
After he left, Shen Shuyu looked at Wen Jiafei beside him and raised an eyebrow slightly.
Wen Jiafei thought for a moment before realizingâso his good friend had asked for him.
After all, the school teacher was right. As a Shen family young master, how could he lack money to spend?
After finishing everything and parting ways with them, Shen Shuyu prepared to go back.
After leaving the stage earlier, he received a message from Shen Yisi asking if he wanted to wait for him to go home together. Unsure when his own matters would finish, Shen Shuyu didn’t let Shen Yisi wait and told him and Yue Cheng to leave first.
After all, he knew the Shen family business was currently propped up entirely by his brother. Being able to spare time to watch his awards ceremony was already not easy.
Shen Shuyu stood by the roadside and hailed a car. After getting in, he originally intended to go home, but when he opened his mouth, he changed his mind. After telling the driver a location, the driver stepped on the gas and drove toward the destination.
Just after getting off the car, his AI Brain vibrated. Shen Shuyu took it out to lookâthe bonus had arrived.
They said one hour, and it really was one hour.
Shen Shuyu calculated the amount he needed to give Wen Jiafei. Just as he opened his terminal to arrange a time with him, the other party sent a message first.
[Where are you?]
Seemed he received the bonus too. Shen Shuyu replied: [Running errands. Are you home? I’ll come find you after I’m done.]
Wen Jiafei gave a bar address. Shen Shuyu replied “Okay,” put the AI Brain in his pocket, and couldn’t help muttering, “Going to work right after it ends, truly diligent.”
He thought for a moment, took the AI Brain out again, and sent another message while walking.
[Don’t worry. What I promised you won’t be short.]
There was no reply from the other side.
