My Genius Sister is Only Seven!?

Chapter 68: Cold War (3)

Previously, Emily had asked Shen Nan to help her borrow some books that she needed for class. During the days when she could not see Shen Yu, Emily relied on these books to pass the time. She often said that she needed to read, so she hid in her room.

Emily pointed at her small belly and said somewhat helplessly, “Second Aunt, I really can’t eat anymore. Look at my stomach, it’s almost bulging.”

Second Aunt smiled and knocked Emily’s head hard. She said sternly, “Don’t play tricks with me. If you waste food, I’ll knock a hole on your head and pour all of this into it.”

“Second Aunt, hahaha, why are you so childish? If you tell these words to a three-year-old child, they won’t believe it,” Shen Nan ridiculed at the side. After saying that, he picked up a drumstick in front of him and ate it with relish.

Second Aunt glared at Shen Nan and said unhappily, “You can’t even shut your mouth with food.”

Shen Nan did not dare to say anything in an instant. Second Aunt, who had always been gentle, was actually so scary when she was fierce. It was better for him to not provoke her.

Emily obediently sat back in her seat. If she did not eat more, Second Aunt would definitely not let her leave the dining table.

Second Aunt saw that Emily had obediently returned to her seat and left happily to pick up food for Emily. However, seeing that Emily did not have much of an appetite recently, she did not dare to pick up too much.

“That’s all. When you eat, you have to pay attention to the balance of your diet. You have to eat both meat and vegetables. You can’t be picky with your food.”

Second Aunt looked at her masterpiece with great satisfaction. It was as if Emily was not allowed to leave the table until she had finished eating the food in her bowl.

Emily felt a little helpless and could only accept her fate and eat. Fortunately, she did not eat too much just now, so she did not have to eat too much.

Seeing that Emily had finished eating, Second Aunt quickly praised Emily. Then, she actively asked Shen Nan to bring Emily to digest her food. Even if Emily wanted to read, Second Aunt would not let her. She also told Emily about the disadvantages of not exercising after eating.

Shen Nan finally realized how powerful Second Aunt was. She was actually more difficult to deal with than his mother. He quickly brought Emily out of the door.

Emily walked behind Shen Nan unwillingly. She was completely listless.

Shen Nan really could not suppress his curiosity anymore. So, he took a step forward and stood in front of Emily, stopping her in her tracks.

“What’s wrong with you recently? Have you been reading? You don’t seem to have any energy at all.”

“Nothing much. I just realized that I don’t know a lot of things. School is about to start, so I want to take a look. Otherwise, I’ll be as busy as Brother. I haven’t seen Brother for a long time.”

As Emily spoke, she felt a little sad. She lowered her head and bit her lips. She was trying hard to suppress her sad mood.

“We’re only in the first grade when the semester starts. Do you have to be so diligent?” Shen Nan frowned. He was very surprised, but he was more puzzled.

The more Shen Nan thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Then, he looked at Emily with a smug look and said, “Are you afraid that you won’t be able to keep up after the semester starts, and then you won’t be able to pass me? Is that why you’re working so hard?”

Shen Nan seemed to be immersed in his own thoughts. He opened her mouth to speak, completely ignoring Emily’s darkened face.

“Aiya, actually, you don’t have to work so hard. When the time comes, you can ask me if there’s anything you don’t understand. I’ll definitely teach you well. No matter what, I’m still in the top three of our grade.”

Emily turned around and did not want to bother with Shen Nan. She was only using reading as an excuse. It was not as simple as just reading a book. God, this idiot really believed it. Now, he was even bragging in front of her.

“Hey, wait for me. Don’t be angry. I didn’t mean to laugh at you. It’s normal that you don’t understand because you missed a semester of classes. When the time comes, I’ll make up for it for you. Don’t worry, you definitely won’t leave us behind by much.”

Shen Nan saw that Emily ignored him and turned around to leave. He thought that Emily was just as embarrassed as last time, so he did not want to bother with her. He hurriedly chased after her.

Emily covered her ears in annoyance. She felt that Shen Nan, who was beside her, was extremely noisy.

“You’re so annoying. I’m going back. If you talk again, I’ll tell Third Aunt that you said you were going to play basketball the day before yesterday. In the end, you left the neighborhood with your friend. I don’t know what bad things you’ve done.”
