My Genius Sister is Only Seven!?

Chapter 67: Cold War (2)

Fortunately, Shen Yu was slowly recovering. This was the only thing that they felt gratified about.

It was just that Shen Yu and Emily had a conflict recently for some unknown reason. The two children had been acting strangely all day, causing the atmosphere in the house to become strange.

“Millie, are you up? Are you hungry? I’ll get Aunt Li to get you something to eat right away.”

The two worried people just happened to appear at the stairs. Second Aunt rushed forward and looked at the sleepy Emily. She pulled Emily to the coffee table and handed the fruit plate to Emily.

“Eat some fruits first.”

“Second Aunt, I don’t want to eat. I’m not hungry. Is Brother not back yet?”

Emily shook her head. Perhaps because she had slept for too long, she was still a little dizzy and her head hurt badly.

Third Aunt looked at the time and replied, “No, it’s only four o’clock now. Xiao Yu should be home by 5:30 after school,”

Emily nodded and sat on the sofa obediently, remaining silent.

These few days, she really felt very tired. Bai Yi had let her run in her dreams every day and did horse stance, saying that it was to train her body. In the future, those who wanted to study medicine had to have a strong physique.

Emily had also protested to Bai Yi, but Bai Yi had rejected her with a very strong attitude because Bai Yi had said that exercising in that space could achieve twice the result with half the effort. She also felt very tired now.

She was drowsy during the day and wanted to sleep all the time. In addition, Shen Yu had been avoiding her for a few days, which made her even more depressed. How could she still be able to get up?

“Millie, what’s wrong with you? Didn’t you just wake up?”

Second Aunt saw that Emily was sitting on the sofa listlessly and her heart ached. She could not help but blame Shen Yu for making the usually lively Emily so depressed for the past few days.

“I may have slept for too long. I’m a little sleepy. I’ll be fine in a while,” said Emily as she shook her head.

Second Aunt and Third Aunt looked at each other and did not ask any further. They each did their own things. From time to time, they would go to the living room to look at Emily. They saw that Emily was still sitting in a daze, her eyes unfocused. No one knew what she was thinking. Other than feeling sorry for her… They did not know what to do.

Just as Old Lady Shen had said, it was not good for adults to be involved in the matters between the two children.

During this period, Shen Nan went up to ask Emily to go out to play. Emily also refused. Shen Nan was a little ignorant, but he could not resist the wait of his friends outside. He went out alone.

“Millie, come, let’s go eat first.” Third Aunt went up and spoke in a gentle voice that she had never used before. She stretched out her hand, wanting Emily to hold it.

Emily looked up at Third Aunt with a hint of fatigue on her face. She said softly, “Brother isn’t coming back today?”

“Just now, Xiao Yu called with the driver’s phone. He said that he had some things to do at school and would be back later. He told us not to wait for him to eat.”

Emily lowered her head in disappointment. She actually felt a little wronged. It was this excuse again. It had been this excuse for the past few days. Shen Yu’s school was always busy, and she always couldn’t see her.

“Good girl, don’t be sad. School has just started. Xiao Yu missed so many classes before. He must be busy. When Xiao Yu is done with his work, Third Aunt will ask Xiao Yu to bring you to the amusement park, okay?”

Emily’s dejected look made Third Aunt’s heart ache even more. She thought that when Shen Yu returned, she would definitely have a good chat with him. If there was any conflict between the two of them, wouldn’t it be better to explain it clearly?

“Third Aunt, I know. Brother has been very busy recently. Let’s go eat. I’m a little hungry.” Emily tried her best to put on a smile. Then, she covered her stomach and laughed foolishly.

Emily’s sensible look made her heart ache even more.

At the dining table, Emily was not as active as before. Even when Shen Nan teased her a few times, Emily did not have any reaction

Emily did not eat much and said that she wanted to go upstairs to read.

Second Aunt pulled Emily back and picked up a chicken wing from Emily’s bowl. She said softly, “Eat more. You haven’t eaten much. Reading is good, but your body has to keep up.”
