Chapter 1137 Is Shen He Naive or Innocent?
As the last wooden barricade was moved to the corner of the yard and piled up, Shao Yun dusted off his hands and turned to walk towards the carriage.
He took a deep breath, bent down and picked up a heavy bag of coffee beans.
The coffee beans produced in Xumi are full and a bag can weigh dozens of kilograms.
However, thinking about being able to brew fragrant coffee and the soy milk that Shen He was looking forward to, all the efforts were worth it.
The basement of the ranch house was designed by Kavi to store sundries and food. Shao Yun also specially cleared out an area to store the coffee beans and Liyue soybeans ordered this time.
Just as Shao Yun carried the coffee beans to the basement and was about to put the bag in the corner of the storage room, a soft voice suddenly came from next door. Was it Shen He's voice?
"Baby, are you hungry? Don't worry, Shen He's mom will make you some milk powder right away. It will be ready soon."
Shao Yun looked at the wall next to the storage room in shock. There was clearly an empty storage room next door, so how could Shen He's voice come from there?
And judging from the tone of her voice, she is in there with her baby?
I'm not hallucinating, am I?
Full of confusion, Shao Yun put the bag of coffee beans in the corner and walked towards the direction where the sound came from.
The walls of the basement are made of rough stones and the sound insulation is not very good. In addition to Shen He's voice, you can also faintly hear the baby's slight humming.
(Of course, Kavi had installed soundproofing panels inside the phlogiston water purifier and the water purifier room.)
Walking to the door of the empty storage room, Shao Yun took a deep breath and gently pushed open the half-closed door.
The scene before him froze him for a moment, and he almost went blind.
As expected, Shen He indeed lived with his baby in this bedroom converted from an empty utility room.
To say it is simple is no exaggeration.
The only piece of furniture in the entire room was a single mattress on the floor, and next to the mattress was a light gray carpet.
The only eye-catching thing is the baby cradle placed in the middle of the carpet.
The cradle is made of wood and looks very new. It should be specially prepared for the baby. There is also a small plush toy in the cradle.
Apart from this, there was no other furniture in the room, not even a table or a chair.
There was no decoration on the walls, which were still bare stone walls. There were even a few old cardboard boxes piled in the corners that had not been cleaned up yet.
Shao Yun looked at the simple, almost shabby arrangement in front of him... He knew that it was Shen He who arranged it himself.
If you don’t know, you might think that I was abusing her by not even giving her a decent room to live in.
Shao Yun stood at the door of the utility room, looking at the space in front of him that had been converted into a simple bedroom, and then looked at Shen He who was holding the baby, and was completely dumbfounded.
"Shen He, why are you and my daughter in the basement utility room? And how did this utility room become a bedroom?"
He really couldn't understand why they had to go to the basement instead of living in the room upstairs.
Seeing Shao Yun's puzzled face, Shen He quickly put down the can of milk powder in his hand and carefully explained his plan, his tone full of trust in the "perfect plan".
"Because once the war breaks out, the surface will be very dangerous. So I cleaned out the utility room in the basement and turned it into a shelter."
She lowered her head and gently touched the baby's face, then added firmly:
"We'll hide in the basement then. It'll be safe here. I even brought down the softest mattress and a new cradle to make the baby more comfortable."
Shao Yun completely lost his temper after listening to Shen He's innocent yet serious words.
This silly girl, Master Liuyunjiefeng, how on earth did you raise Shenhe? How did you raise someone so silly and stubborn?
……
(Xianyun, who was far away in Liyue, rolled his eyes silently: Blame me? You should blame Shen He’s cruel father. If you want to blame someone, you should blame God for giving her the fate of loneliness and disaster!)
(If I hadn't used the red rope to tightly lock her fate and suppress the evil spirit, she would have exploded long ago, okay? Now she can be safe and sound and think about protecting the baby, which is already great!)
……
Shao Yun tried to sound gentle as he said, "It's not that I don't want you to prepare a place to take refuge, but you shouldn't be so anxious that you become distracted..."
"Let's go back to the second floor."
Shen He looked at the baby in her arms with a worried look on her face. After all, she had spent a lot of effort to take care of this baby.
"Ah? But... what if a war breaks out and we don't have time to hide? It's obviously safer here..."
Shao Yun nodded towards the door.
"Don't worry, the Fatui haven't attacked yet. Even if they really want to attack, it won't be so sudden."
"And most importantly, the air quality in the basement is poor. The baby is still so young, and her lungs haven't fully developed yet. Staying here for a long time is bad for her lungs. This is more urgent than the risk of war."
When Shen He heard this, his expression changed instantly.
What she cared about most was her baby's health. When she heard that "it's not good for the baby's lungs", all her previous concerns disappeared.
She nodded quickly, her tone full of agreement: "That's right... The baby's health is the most important, so let's go back to the second floor."
……
After Shao Yun's persuasion, Shen He finally gave up his obsession with the basement shelter plan and stayed with his baby to rest in the nursery on the second floor.
After feeding the baby, Shen He sat on a chair beside the bed with an open parenting book in his hand (found at Yuan Shang).
At this moment, she temporarily put aside her anxiety about the war and returned to the peaceful time of parenting.
Shao Yun stood at the door of the baby's room, looking at this heartwarming scene, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shao Yun now has another reason to help Capitano deal with the Fatui.
That is to let Shen He completely put aside his unfounded worries, no longer have to think about seeking refuge, and truly return to a stable and normal life.
Time passed quietly and it was evening in the blink of an eye.
The setting sun dyed the sky over the pasture a warm orange-red, and the mountains in the distance were shrouded in a faint halo.
Just then, a familiar voice was heard in the yard - Ying, Paimon and Jade returned from the wild.
Paimon was floating in the front as usual, holding a freshly picked wild fruit (it seemed to be a granular fruit) in his hand...
Ying followed behind, and Jie De put her arm around Ying, chattering and persuading her to run away with her (elope).
When Jade was in the wild, she had already heard the news that the Winter Faints were going to declare war on Nata.
Throughout the day, whenever she had free time, she couldn't help but persuade Ying to go back with her to Aru Village in Xumi for refuge.
In her eyes, Aru Village is far away from the battlefield and is the safest place at the moment.
With sister Candice around, everything will be fine!
At dinner time, the family sat around the dining table, which was filled with simple and delicious meals.
But after only a few bites of the meal, Jade couldn't help but bring up the matter of refuge again.
"Ying, Nata is really going to war, so just listen to me. Bring Mr. Shao Yun, Bao Bao, and Miss Shen He with you and return to Aru Village with me!"
“There are familiar people there (Candice, Dishia), and a safe place to live. It’s much more reassuring than staying here in Nata!
"Please, I really won't hurt you!"
As she spoke, she reached out and grabbed Ying's arm, her eyes full of worry, afraid that Ying would refuse again.
Ying looked at Jade's excited and anxious expression, helplessly patted her hand and said soothingly:
"Jade, don't get excited. Calm down for a moment. I know you're doing this for our own good, but it's not necessary to leave right away."
"Why hasn't she arrived yet?" When Jie De heard Ying's words, she immediately frowned and clung to her like a big, spoiled cat.
"What if? What if a war breaks out suddenly and you get injured? What if the war reaches your ranch and Bao Bao and Miss Shen He are in danger? You can't take these risks!"
……
In fact, Ying was also worried in her heart.
It's not like she hadn't considered the risks Jade mentioned. The baby was still so young, and if the war really spread to the ranch, the consequences would be disastrous.
"This is indeed a problem..." Ying lowered her eyes, her fingers gently stroking the chopsticks, her tone more hesitant, "But..."
Jade didn't even give Ying a chance to finish the words after "but". She moved closer to Ying, put her arm around hers, and said in a soft and coquettish voice:
"So, you guys should just come with me to Aru Village to avoid the limelight. It's not like you won't be coming back!"
"Wait until the battle in Nata is over and it's safe, then you can return to the ranch safely. That way you won't have to worry about anything, and I can rest assured, okay?"
She shook Ying's arm, as if saying, "I won't let go until you agree."
Ying was so obsessed with Jade that she had no choice. Women who act like spoiled children really have good luck, especially when they are lesbians who act like spoiled children...
"But……"
Shao Yun sat opposite and saw Ying's embarrassment clearly.
He put down the spoon in his hand, smiled at Jade, and said to help:
"Alright, Jade, stop bothering Ying. Don't worry, I will protect Ying and the baby and won't let anything happen to them. Let's eat quickly, the food is getting cold."
I thought these words would make Jade give up the idea, but unexpectedly, Jade glanced at Shao Yun, and under the Gilded Brigade's iconic eye mask, her eyes instantly revealed an undisguised disdain.
She let go of Ying, crossed her arms, and grumbled accurately, "You didn't protect Ying well last time. Why should I trust you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table instantly became quiet.
The smile on Shao Yun's face froze, and he felt completely drained.
There's no way around it. What Jade said is absolutely true. Plus, she's my wife's best friend, so I have to bear with it...
"No... that time was an accident. Didn't I remedy it in time later?" Shao Yun opened his mouth, his voice was much weaker than before, and he was obviously lacking in confidence.
Seeing that her husband was speechless after being scolded, Ying quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Jade, stop talking. Try this and see if it suits your taste."
