In fact, looking back now, even Shen Chu sometimes finds it hard to understand——

　　Why did I get so hung up on this in the past?

　　He had to prove himself, had to compete with others… He had unconsciously drawn clear boundaries around himself, benchmarking himself against Xie Shiming. He always felt that he had to catch up with him in order to gain a foothold in the Shen family.

　　He put Xie Shiming in the position of an “opponent”, and was “paying attention” to him all the time, wanting to compare him in everything.

　　Reluctant, resisting…

　　It seemed as if he put Xie Shiming against himself without even thinking about it.

　　When Xie Shiming didn’t take action to deal with Zhu Fangzhen’s family, he always felt that Xie Junze and he were from the same country, and they were together – both were living under someone else’s roof, and both were working hard to prove themselves…

　　At least Xie Junze had always made him think so—

　　He said he understood this feeling. Once your identity changes, your situation becomes awkward. If you want to change the status quo, you can only make yourself better and prove that you are no worse than anyone else. Only in this way can you gain recognition from others.

　　Xie Junze also said that Shen Chu was the same as him.

　　They should all draw a clear line between themselves and Xie Shiming.

　　——Because if Xie Shiming had not appeared, Shen Chu’s life would not have experienced such great fluctuations and changes, and everything that was originally beautiful would have become shattered…and his life was the same, because of Xie Shiming, his family became a mess.

　　He is willing to be Shen Chu’s friend so that they can work hard together.

　　Putting aside other things, at least a few words hit Shen Chu.

　　At that time, he was at a loss and didn’t know who to talk to. If someone was willing to reach out to you, would you accept it or not? Moreover, Xie Junze did convey “goodwill” to him.

　　But now that I think about it, he is just a fool!

　　It’s obvious that he failed to get close to Xie Shiming first, so he wants to come over and win him over!

　　Because Xie Shiming didn’t even glance at him and Zhu Fangzhen, Xie Junze wanted to win him over to the united front. He probably also saw that he was still loved by Su Luoyue and Shen Mingzhou, so he wanted to find someone who could speak for them.

　　So isn’t it obvious what Shen Chu did?

　　If you count it up, Xie Junze has done a lot of things to make Xie Shiming suffer behind his back.

　　I think it was not Zhu Fangzhen’s request. Perhaps from the very beginning, Xie Junze was unwilling to get close to and show goodwill to Xie Shiming. It was because he couldn’t stand to see Xie Shiming do well from the very beginning, so when he was trying to win him over, he seemed so “sincere and heartfelt”.

　　He is just like a big fool, who has to count money for others after being cheated…

　　Now it’s like this again –

　　History is about to repeat itself!

　　When Xie Junze was about to continue speaking, Shen Chu quickly stretched out his chubby little hand.

　　”Wait a minute!”

　　”Let me tell you!”

　　Xie Junze: “……?”

　　”Are you trying to say that it was Xie Shiming’s appearance that took away my original life?”

　　”Do you think that I should hate Xie Shiming like you do? If it weren’t for him, I would still be the young master of the Shen family instead of living under someone else’s roof like I am now?”

　　”I……”

　　Xie Junze stared, he never expected that what he wanted to say was actually said by Shen Chu first? !

　　Xie Shiming also turned his head to look at Shen Chu, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking.

　　Shen Chu sighed and continued, “Do you still want to say that my real relative, my biological mother, was killed by Xie Shiming? So I shouldn’t stand on his side and speak for him…”

　　“Isn’t it?!”

　　Xie Junze stretched out his hand and pointed at Xie Shiming, as if he had finally grasped a “sharp weapon” to fight back——

　　”Everyone around him has had accidents one after another. Isn’t he a disaster and a scourge?!”

　　”Also, I heard that your biological mother’s parents also died suddenly in a car accident—”

　　”So you shouldn’t be with a disaster and a calamity?”

　　”What?”

　　Shen Chu tilted his head and said in a voice that was hard to tell what emotion it was.

　　”She gave birth to me. Before that, my grandparents had an accident and died in a car accident. After that, my biological mother took the wrong child while in a trance. Eventually, her health deteriorated and she passed away regretfully…”

　　”Shouldn’t I be the calamity and the disaster?”

　　Xie Junze opened his mouth, a little stunned: “This…”

　　”So when you talk about Xie Shiming, you’re talking about me.”

　　Shen Chu looked at Xie Junze: “So…what should I do like you?”

　　For some reason, when he met Shen Chu’s eyes, Xie Junze suddenly took a step back.

　　He originally thought that compared to Xie Shiming, Shen Chu was nothing. Maybe he could win the other party over with just a few words. But now, he felt that Shen Chu was seeing through him, which made Xie Junze panic for some reason.

　　”Stop trying to sow discord or do anything else.”

　　Shen Chu tilted his head to the other side again, and suddenly changed his tone to an innocent and naive one: “Guess, if my parents and I go and cry and make a scene, will your and your mother’s current life change?”

　　”Do you know that we can sue you for what you said now?”

　　“You you…”

　　Xie Junze stared with his eyes wide open, unable to speak, his face turning pale. He felt that the child in front of him, who was half a head shorter than him, actually made him feel a little scared, and his panic was even worse…

　　Finally, I could only utter one sentence——

　　”You have no evidence!”

　　Is this a matter of evidence?

　　Shen Chu curled his lips secretly. Perhaps Xie Junze still couldn’t figure out that the reason why they could still stay in the Shen family was not because their intentions were not exposed, but because they were still in the limelight and were afraid that any public opinion would affect Xie Shiming.

　　If it wasn’t for this, how could Zhu Fangzhen send you to this kindergarten?

　　Moreover, she was smart and knew to “stay within certain boundaries” and not cause any trouble. So for Xie Shiming, Su Luoyue would tolerate as much as she could. It was a trivial matter that was not worth mentioning, just like waving away an annoying fly, and she would just do it out of frustration.

　　But what I fear most is that people are greedy and will never stop trying. I hope they can always be so “law-abiding”.

　　Shen Chu shook his head and was about to speak when he felt Xie Shiming holding one of his hands. He didn’t look at him, but at Xie Junze. The expression on that little face was indescribably calm, and he spoke clearly –

　　”There is no evidence, but sometimes there is no need for any evidence.”

　　Xie Shiming’s past experiences made his words sharp: “You can go back and tell your mother that even if I am a disaster, you are not much better. I still remember the money from the sale of the old house, my father’s illness, and everything that happened in the past. I remember it clearly.”

　　”If she doesn’t want to end up like Xie Wenyong, who hit someone and fled, then had someone come to her door and ended up unable to reconcile privately and ended up being forced into jail, then she must not do anything unnecessary, otherwise…”

　　Xie Shiming said to Xie Junze seriously: “Then your retribution will come early.”

　　After saying that, without paying attention to Xie Junze’s expression or reaction, he pulled Shen Chu, turned around and left.

　　Shen Chu followed behind Xie Shiming and gradually opened his eyes wide – what was going on?

　　Could it be true as Xie Shiming said—his father Xie Wenyong would end up in jail, and Zhu Fangzhen and her son would be forced to stay in County C… Could these things really have something to do with Xie Shiming? !

　　What did he do? Fanning the flames? Adding fuel to the fire?

　　That wind is quite strong.

　　Tsk tsk, you really can’t tell at such a young age.

　　It is true that “you can’t judge a book by its cover”…

　　Shen Chu followed Xie Shiming while thinking about this and that, and before he knew it, he was pulled back to the classroom by Xie Shiming and returned to their seats. At this moment, the other children were still playing outside and there were only the two of them in the classroom.

　　Xie Shiming looked at Shen Chu, suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Shen Chu’s head.

　　Shen Chu: “?”

　　What are you doing?

　　Then Xie Shiming said seriously: “You are neither a disaster nor a calamity.”

　　Shen Chu was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and looked at Xie Shiming: “Isn’t it me?”

　　”No.” Xie Shiming answered without hesitation.

　　Shen Chu then asked: “Why?”

　　Xie Shiming pursed his lips and looked at Shen Chu, as if he was a little awkward, but he still spoke seriously-“If you are, then the meaning of these two words should be good.”

　　Shen Chu just kept tilting his head and staring at Xie Shiming, as if he was frozen.

　　Xie Shiming felt a little nervous when seeing this.

　　He thought about it, and suddenly let go of Shen Chu’s little hand, as if cautiously, and pursed his lips again, and whispered: “Of course, if you mind, we can keep our distance…”

　　”Do you think I’m okay?”

　　”What?”

　　Xie Shiming raised his head, somewhat unresponsive.

　　Shen Chu slowly came over and asked again: “Do you think… I’m okay?”

　　Xie Shiming blinked and hummed.

　　Shen Chu froze again, staring at Xie Shiming with eyes wide open, and then, as if he had just realized what Xie Shiming had just said, he coughed lightly, tilted his head to the other side, thought for a while, and suddenly figured out something –

　　”Xie Shiming, you don’t always think that you are a disaster and a calamity, do you?!”

　　How many times have I called his name…

　　Xie Shiming lowered his eyes, his face becoming gloomy: “We can keep our distance——”

　　”Ah, why?”

　　Why?

　　Xie Shiming looked up in confusion. Didn’t he just say…

　　Just when he thought of this, before he could even say anything, he saw Shen Chu approaching him again, his round eyes curved, his chubby face smiling, like a cat holding a dried fish, smug, using a tone that was deliberately against him –

　　”I don’t!”

　　”I just love being with you!”

　　As he spoke, he held his little face with both hands, leaned closer, and even pouted.

　　”Brother! Kiss!”

　　”Mua!”
