After Transmigrating, I and the Female Lead Both Found It 'Really Fragrant' (GL) - Chapter 31
Shen Jue frowned and scolded, “Nonsense!”
Shen Qiqi stole a glance at him. Seeing that he had no expression, she knew that her acting was at least passable and had not aroused his suspicion.
She pursed her lips and looked aggrieved, starting to add drama to herself, “Father, how am I being unreasonable? I haven’t done anything!”
Shen Jue naturally didn’t believe her, shook his head, and his expression gradually turned disappointed, “Qiqi, no matter what, Xiao Shuang is your Senior Sister. Even if you don’t like her, you should know how to respect her, instead of ordering her around!”
The air in the hall was so still that only the sound of breathing could be heard, and an invisible pressure spread out, making it difficult for her to breathe.
How could a father be so harsh to his own daughter!
Shen Jue’s gaze pierced her like a needle, making Shen Qiqi’s toes curl. She prepared to continue acting, biting her lip.
She reached behind her and pinched herself hard, using all her strength, and instantly squeezed out a few crocodile tears.
Shen Jue stood with his hands behind his back, his face cold, but he saw Shen Qiqi slowly raise her head, her eyes red, staring at him gloomily.
Shen Jue was startled and subconsciously took a step forward, “What is this…”
When he moved, Shen Qiqi took a step back, biting her lip, and said sadly, “Father, I know you love her. You’ve always favored her since she was young. Yes, Senior Sister Liu is talented, she is brilliant, and from the day she arrived here, everyone in the Qingli Sect has been praising her for her promising future, saying that she is the next sect master.”
“Do you know? As soon as she arrived, people always liked to compare me to Senior Sister, saying that she is a gifted child, and I am a loser, a pampered young miss who will have to support her for the rest of my life.” Tears welled up in her eyes as she muttered through gritted teeth, “Why should I let an outsider steal all my limelight? Why am I the loser?”
“Even you favor her. Whatever you have, you always give her the best first, and then leave the rest for me, and you even ask me to be more tolerant and help her more. Every time you come out of seclusion, the first thing you ask is how she is doing… Have you ever considered my feelings?”
Shen Jue was stunned.
“Say I’m petty or jealous, I just like to compete with her. I don’t believe I can’t beat Liu Shuang! …But I know in my heart that I don’t have that talent, and I will never be as good as her. If I don’t fight or show off, will you still see me in your eyes?”
Shen Qiqi spoke earnestly, and then closed her eyes sadly, a clear tear slid down her pale cheek, perfectly portraying the pain and suppression, like the eldest daughter who had been neglected after her parents had a second child.
Shen Jue looked at this face that was eight parts similar to his own and couldn’t help but be moved.
After all, she was his own flesh and bl00d, with bl00d flowing from the same root. How could he not feel sorry for her, having raised her in his hands?
More than ten years ago, he traveled the world and found a girl with extraordinary talent in a dilapidated mountain village, so he took her away from a group of rural ruffians and named her Liu Shuang.
Originally, he thought he could let her feel the warmth given by others, so he treated her with favor. However, he had been so immersed in cultivation recently that he had gradually become estranged from his own daughter.
Shen Jue couldn’t help but sigh and admitted, “In recent years, I have indeed neglected your feelings.”
Shen Qiqi covered her face and sobbed, refusing to speak, crying so hard that it was heartbreaking.
In fact, she had pinched herself so hard that her tears were like a dam bursting, gushing out.
What she had just said was basically an indirect expression of the original owner’s feelings over the years. Shen Jue, on the surface, seemed cold and ruthless, but he was not a stubborn stone that was completely impervious to emotion. A card of warmth could deal a critical hit.
Shen Qiqi turned her head away, as if she was heartbroken. She launched her final attack, sobbing, “I miss my mother…”
Shen Jue recalled his deceased gentle wife, clenched his fist, and was speechless.
After standing there for a long time, he said softly, “Qiqi…”
“Father, I really didn’t do anything to her this time.” Shen Qiqi interrupted him, sniffing, “Whether you believe it or not, I won’t make things difficult for Senior Sister anymore, I’ve figured it out.”
Shen Jue’s emotions were in turmoil, and he stared at her nervously, “You… you’ve figured it out?”
“Yes.” Shen Qiqi looked up at her tall father, her face full of tears, and said solemnly, “I’ve made peace with my Senior Sister… and I’ve made peace with myself.”
After saying that, she bowed solemnly and walked out of the Changqing Palace.
Looking at the girl’s thin back, Shen Jue felt a sense of loss, but he didn’t stop her.
As soon as she left the Changqing Palace, Shen Qiqi wiped away the tears on her face and smiled.
Oh my god, I’m really an ordinary acting genius! With one operation, I actually managed to deceive Shen Jue!
The little genius Shen Qiqi hummed a song and flew towards the herb garden to see her “errand girl” Senior Sister Liu.
Master Chang Yao was sitting under the eaves, fanning himself. When he heard Shen Qiqi coming, he sat up and raised his eyebrows, “Senior Sister, Senior Sister, are you her shadow? Do you even have me, your master, in your eyes!”
“Master!” Shen Qiqi changed her tone with a smile, her lips red and teeth white, so beautiful that one couldn’t bear to scold her, “Master has been so kind to both me and Senior Sister, of course you’re important too!”
Master Chang Yao was satisfied and asked again, “And what about your Senior Sister?”
Shen Qiqi, with ulterior motives, whispered, “She… she’s a little more important.”
Master Chang Yao shook his head with a smile and waved his sleeve, “Oh, never mind, you’re so disrespectful! Go in, she’s in the room.” After saying that, he lay down and continued to nap.
Shen Qiqi immediately went into the room and saw Liu Shuang sitting with her back to her at the table, her back slender and graceful, holding something in her hand. She felt mischievous and, hiding her breath, tiptoed behind Liu Shuang and covered her eyes with her hands.
Soft and warm palms pressed against her eyes, and her vision was covered by darkness. Liu Shuang smiled and asked softly, “Who is it?”
Shen Qiqi dragged out her voice and pretended to be muffled, “Guess?”
Liu Shuang hummed, thought for a moment, and shook her head, “I can’t guess.”
Shen Qiqi was very proud, but then she suddenly realized that her shoulders were trembling, and she suddenly realized, “You’re lying, you’ve already guessed it!”
Liu Shuang held back her laughter, and said innocently, “I didn’t.”
“You did!” Shen Qiqi returned to her normal voice, released her hands, and pinched her shoulders angrily, “You’ve been holding it in for so long!”
Liu Shuang looked up at her and said sincerely, “Fine, I did.”
Shen Qiqi snorted, pinched her nose, rubbed her cheeks, and kneaded her like a dumpling, “You’re making fun of me!”
As she rubbed, her fingertips brushed against the cool skin, and her movements became lighter, as light as a pen, gently outlining the cold eyebrows, the high nose bridge, and the pale pink lip peak… Shen Qiqi lowered her head to meet her gaze, her heart pounding like a drum, hot and suppressed.
Liu Shuang admitted her mistake, looked up at her, their eyes met, and suddenly reached out and lightly touched Shen Qiqi’s face, asking in doubt, “Did you cry just now?”
Shen Qiqi, as if scalded, whispered, “No…”
Liu Shuang looked at her, her eyes turned cold, “Who made you cry?”
