Life in siheyuan era

Zhou Zhiyuan discovered that the soundproofing in this study was excellent. Even though Shen Lanyin was covering his mouth, no one outside came to rescue him.

Realizing this, he felt that his volume was a bit too low. Just as Shen Lanyin released his mouth and he took a light breath, preparing to open his mouth again, he found his mouth being covered once more.

"Do you have any shame?" Shen Lanyin whispered, covering his mouth.

She was now in a very passive position. She never expected Zhou Zhiyuan to shout "Help!" Fortunately, his voice wasn't loud, and the soundproofing in the study was excellent. Otherwise, if Shen Jue and the others heard, a severe reprimand would be unavoidable.

Faced with this passive situation, Shen Lanyin decided to have a good talk with Zhou Zhiyuan. She could retaliate, but Zhou Zhiyuan couldn't shout and scream "Help!"

So, she whispered, "Let's have a good talk, and don't shout."

After saying this, seeing Zhou Zhiyuan nod slightly, Shen Lanyin released him, watching him warily, ready to cover his mouth at any moment.

But Zhou Zhiyuan turned to look at the door, then turned back and whispered, "If I focus my energy and shout loudly, can they hear me outside?"

Shen Lanyin replied coldly, "It's useless even if you shout yourself hoarse."

"I'll try," Zhou Zhiyuan said, eager to try.

"Don't try!" Shen Lanyin quickly stopped him.

Then she said, "Do you have any shame?"

"What does this have to do with shame?"

Zhou Zhiyuan asked, then explained, "You're hitting and scolding me, but I can't hit you back, so I can only shout."

"Who's been hitting and scolding you?" Shen Lanyin said angrily.

"I'm your only punching bag," Zhou Zhiyuan replied, then explained, "You're petty. 'Hitting and scolding' is just a figure of speech. What would you do to your only punching bag?"

"I want to remind you, it's quite simple for you to become that important person's daughter-in-law. Just say you broke up with me. As long as you have a physical examination, that Madam shouldn't care that you've been in a relationship before."

Zhou Zhiyuan's words were heavy, and Shen Lanyin said angrily, "You bastard!"

"Who's the bastard?" Zhou Zhiyuan retorted angrily, "Do you know what the consequences of your recklessness will be? Your parents and brother will be implicated, and I will die a miserable death."

These words calmed Shen Lanyin down. After a moment of contemplation, she whispered, "I will cooperate with you to play this role well."

Zhou Zhiyuan retorted angrily, "Shouldn't it be me cooperating with you?"

Then, after thinking about it, he whispered, "There's also a plan called 'Substituting the Plum for the Peach.' You talk to Hao Zhiwen, then find a suitable opportunity for us to put on a show. We'll break up, and Hao Zhiwen can seamlessly step in."

After saying this plan, Zhou Zhiyuan looked at Shen Lanyin. Seeing her surprised expression, he immediately smiled and said, "This is the best plan. Normally, your parents might not agree to you and Hao Zhiwen being together, but implementing this plan will make them accept it. Now, let's discuss the details so we don't give ourselves away."

While Zhou Zhiyuan wanted to discuss the 'Substituting the Plum for the Peach' plan with Shen Lanyin, Shen Jue was talking to Chen Shuying about inviting the old chief, "I asked Zhiyuan's opinion, and Zhiyuan thinks we should invite him. It's a matter of attitude."

"He said the old chief would avoid suspicion and definitely wouldn't attend the wedding, but if we invite him, it shows that we're thinking of him. Having that attitude is enough."

Shen Jue stated Zhou Zhiyuan's opinion, and Chen Shuying thought about it and said happily, "Zhiyuan is very thoughtful."

Shen Lanbo smiled and said, "Zhiyuan is good at making judgments."

Shen Jue nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "Lao Fang and I are caught up in the situation! This also shows that Zhiyuan is indeed good at making judgments."

After saying this, he turned to look at Shen Lanbo and asked in confusion, "Why can't Zhiyuan scheme?"

"It's not that he can't..." Shen Lanbo explained, "It's that something unexpected always happens when he schemes. Even if the plan is flawless, a strange wind will blow during the execution, causing him to fail."

Shen Lanbo's explanation was full of helplessness, while Shen Jue shook his head slightly, expressing his incomprehension. Chen Shuying said, "This child is very smart. It's actually good that he's not good at scheming."

Chen Shuying's words had a hidden meaning, not wanting Zhou Zhiyuan to have so many schemes in his heart.

This is a common problem among mothers, hoping their sons are smart so they won't be controlled by their daughters-in-law; hoping their sons-in-law are a bit foolish so they'll be obediently controlled by their daughters. This situation is perfect.

Chen Shuying pursued perfection in her children's marriages, believing that Zhou Zhiyuan was a loyal and honest person, and it was enough for Shen Lanyin to have schemes in her heart.

This was Chen Shuying's idea, and Shen Lanyin's idea was similar.

But she didn't think Zhou Zhiyuan was loyal and honest, but rather that he was very stupid, dismissing the 'Substituting the Plum for the Peach' plan he proposed and saying contemptuously, "You're an idiot. You can't think of a good plan, so stop running that stupid brain of yours."

Zhou Zhiyuan said angrily, "Do you still want to have fun?"

Shen Lanyin replied coldly, "Why don't you think about how to remove the needles?"

Zhou Zhiyuan asked in astonishment, "Is removing the needles also very painful?"

"There are two ways to remove the needles..." Shen Lanyin explained to him, "One is very painful, and the other is painless. Which one do you choose?"

Zhou Zhiyuan thought about it and replied resolutely, "I think I'll just shout 'Help!'"

Shen Lanyin said angrily, "Do you have any shame?"

Zhou Zhiyuan replied indifferently, "This is the third time you've said that. I don't want it anymore, and you shouldn't say it again in the future."

Hearing this, Shen Lanyin glared at him. Zhou Zhiyuan looked at her and continued, "If you cover my mouth again, I'll bite your hand. A gentleman's word..."

Shen Lanyin interrupted him, "You're a scoundrel."

Zhou Zhiyuan immediately continued, "A scoundrel's word is as good as gold. If I say I'll bite your hand, I'll definitely bite your hand. You try me."

Zhou Zhiyuan provoked her, but Shen Lanyin hesitated, raised her hand to look at it, then looked at Zhou Zhiyuan again. She really didn't dare to try. This guy was grinding his teeth, making cracking sounds, with good teeth and strong bite force.

Seeing them come out, the four people in the living room immediately stopped talking, looking at Shen Lanyin and then at Zhou Zhiyuan. Shen Lanbo asked, "Zhiyuan, how was the effect?"

"Excellent..." Zhou Zhiyuan replied happily, "Dr. Shen's medical skills are miraculous. One needle cleared the meridians. There's hope for this hand to recover, and there's no need for acupuncture treatment in the future."

He wanted to end the treatment, but Shen Lanyin said solemnly, "This is a temporary state. We must go through a course of treatment to know the effect."

"No need. I think the treatment is very effective. The rest is how to exercise," Zhou Zhiyuan refused treatment.

But Shen Lanyin insisted on treatment, "You must have acupuncture for a month, once every three days."

"I said..."

Zhou Zhiyuan was about to refuse, but Shen Jue interrupted, "You two can make a fuss at home, but if you make a fuss like this outside, my Shen family will be in big trouble."

Shen Jue's tone was stern, and Zhou Zhiyuan and Shen Lanyin stopped talking.

Seeing them lower their heads, Shen Jue said gently, "Zhiyuan, you've been on the battlefield and experienced life and death. You should be able to see through many things and learn to be tolerant of Lanyin."

After speaking to Zhou Zhiyuan, Shen Jue turned to Shen Lanyin and said, "Lanyin, you should know your limits. You lack Zhiyuan's ability to deal with all kinds of people and things in the world. Discuss things with Zhiyuan more. In terms of social knowledge, Zhiyuan is the university student, and you're just a primary school student, understand?"

After saying these words, seeing Shen Lanyin nod reluctantly, Shen Jue stood up and said, "Private matters are over. Let's talk about official business."

Shen Jue led Shen Lanbo and Zhou Zhiyuan back into the study. He wanted to know about the black cat, "You said that black cat is a special life form?"

This topic was very sci-fi, and Zhou Zhiyuan replied, "How much do we humans know about this world? How much have humans explored of the mountains, oceans, and deserts?"

"And space, is there life only on Earth? These questions need scientists to constantly explore and research. I'm just putting forward a hypothesis."

He frankly told Shen Jue what he thought.

Shen Jue nodded slightly and said slowly, "Our technology is still very backward, but we can't give up researching some advanced things. At least we must establish this idea and make relevant preparations."

At this time, he had a new idea, that he should establish a research system for mysterious creatures.

But Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly realized that this matter might involve him again. He seemed to have too many things to deal with.

Zhou Zhiyuan was a little upset, but Shen Lanyin's thinking was very clear, "Mom, don't worry, I will play this role well with Zhou Zhiyuan."

She was telling the truth. She absolutely didn't want to be that important person's daughter-in-law, and she was even more afraid that her parents would be implicated because of it. Compared to these unfavorable factors, the annoying Zhou Zhiyuan wasn't so annoying anymore. So what if she was in a relationship with him? Shen Lanyin changed her thinking and accepted it happily.

The period of being in a relationship was the best period for revenge. After taking revenge, she could break up with him.
