Yuan Shu only noticed Shi Lu’s appearance. His skin was fair and smooth, and his face was chiseled. The fringe above his forehead accentuated the calmness in his eyes.

In addition, he had just eaten spicy food, so his lips were red and juicy, making him look even more gorgeous.

Even someone like Yuan Shu, who didn’t pay attention to appearances, couldn’t help but praise Shi Lu’s handsomeness!

Shi Lu felt that Yuan Shu was looking at him as if he was a piece of meat on a chopping board. Why did he feel as if he was about to be slaughtered?

The corners of his lips twitched as he said in exasperation, “Sister-in-law, can you pretend that I didn’t say that?”

Shi Lu’s meaning was: Is it too late to regret now?

Yuan Shu smiled sweetly, as if she was trying to cajole a three-year-old child with candy. “No.”

Shi Lu raised his fist to his mouth and coughed softly. Then, he raised his hand and flipped the hair on his forehead before posing in a super handsome posture. His mischievous look gave people a sense of exasperation.

“Sister-in-law, my endorsement fee has to be paid in full!”

Shi Yi and Shi Bin were dumbfounded. Was this still the Second Brother they knew? Second Brother usually seemed so quiet and low profile, but he was actually so flamboyant!

Unexpectedly, Yuan Shu was even more mischievous. “Talking about money hurts our relationship.”

After saying that, Yuan Shu couldn’t help but cover her mouth and laugh. The atmosphere was no longer as awkward as before. It was as if ice had suddenly broken and the atmosphere became warm.

The three siblings of the Shi family had forgotten their past grudges and started chatting and laughing. Shi Yi and Shi Bin had always been the most at ease in the Shi family’s home. They started to complain that Shi Lu kept trying to act cool at home every day, so he really deserved a beating.

Shi Lu wasn’t to be outdone. He retaliated with the claim that the two of them liked to cause trouble.

The originally silent meal suddenly turned into a scene of bickering. Even the servants waiting at the side were stunned.

They had worked in the ancestral home for so many years, and some of them had worked here for more than ten years. However, they had never seen the three siblings of the Shi family get along like this. Most of the time, they were as polite as strangers who had just met. It had been a long time since the ancestral home was so lively.

This meal lasted for more than two hours. Even the food turned cold and was heated twice. In the end, it ended when Shi Bin lay on the back of the chair after eating his fill.

Shi Yi and Shi Lu were still very careful about their image. Although they had a happy meal and ate a lot more than usual, they still remained mindful of their figures at all times, so most of the dishes went into Shi Bin’s stomach.

Shi Yi was infected by the warm atmosphere. On a whim, she took out her phone to check tomorrow’s weather and suggested excitedly, “It’s rare that the four of us are at home. The weather is good tomorrow, so why don’t we go for a picnic tomorrow afternoon?”

Then, she looked at Yuan Shu with her bright eyes. Yuan Shu was the backbone of their group. If she wanted to go, no one would reject her.

Actually, Yuan Shu wasn’t a person who liked lively events. Although everyone got along well in the past, because of restrictions and rules, she wasn’t as unrestrained, like she was in the Shi family.

Yuan Shu was infected by this liveness and felt a heartwarming sensation, as if she suddenly felt a sense of belonging.

A gentle and generous smile appeared on Yuan Shu’s red lips. It was a smile that was even warmer than the spring breeze. “Alright, let the servants prepare.”

After Wu Yan heard this, she turned around and whispered to some servants to start preparing some blankets and tools for the picnic. As for food, she would prepare it tomorrow to ensure that the food was fresh.

With Yuan Shu’s permission, the three of them were even happier and started discussing enthusiastically again.

“Why don’t we go to Lakeside Park? There’s a large cherry blossom forest there. We can sit under the cherry blossom trees and have a picnic!” Shi Yi suggested.

“I can bring a camera to… take a photo of our family.” When she said the words “family”, Shi Lu still couldn’t help but pause slightly, but she quickly finished the second half with a smile.

Shi Bin also imitated how Shi Lu flipped her hair at the dining table just now. He flipped his hair and said, “Then Second Brother, you have to take more handsome photos of me! Our school is going to start evaluating the school hunks again soon.. I’ll use tomorrow’s photos to participate in the competition!”
