Chapter 60: Chapter 60: She Smiled Shen Qinglan’s eyes suddenly warmed up. In her past life, she lived for twenty-eight years, and from the moment she could remember, she never shed a single tear, not even in the hardest times. She couldn’t remember the last time she cried; it seemed so long ago that she even doubted she possessed tear glands. Turns out, she wasn’t unable to cry, she just didn’t have anyone who made her feel like crying. In her previous life, she had no friends, no family; the only things accompanying her were blood and darkness. She wasn’t born cold-blooded, it was merely because no one had warmed her blood. Hearing her sniffling, Dong Yao thought she had caught a cold and quickly pulled her into the kitchen, saying, "Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Shen Qinglan shook her head, then hung her head, remaining silent for a long time. After a while, she raised her head and said, "Mother, I’m fine." Dong Yao touched her forehead with her hand, seeing she indeed wasn’t feverish, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Father, Mother, is the third sister back?" It seemed Dong Yao had been too anxious just now, raising her voice a bit, which woke up the recently asleep Shen Qingzhu. "Why haven’t you gone to sleep?" Seeing him enter the kitchen, Dong Yao couldn’t help but frown. Shen Qingzhu pulled over a small stool from beside him, sitting down next to Shen Qinglan and yawning, "I was worried about the third sister, couldn’t sleep deeply." Seeing Shen Qinglan sitting intact beside him, Shen Qingzhu asked, "Third sister, where did you go?" Shen Qinglan smiled slightly and said, "Didn’t go anywhere, just took a walk to Zhou Family Village." Dong Yao and Shen Qingzhu focused all their attention on the smile at the corner of her lips, so they didn’t pay any attention to what she said. Since Shen Qinglan woke up, it was the first time they saw her smile. Shen Qinglan’s eyes naturally looked like peach blossom eyes, not very obvious when she didn’t smile. But when she smiled, her brows and eyes curved, as if two petal-like peach blossoms. Under the candlelight, her pupils seemed to be misty with infinite water light, sparkling brightly, captivating the soul. "Third sister, you just smiled!" Shen Qingzhu froze for a long time before coming back to his senses and excitedly exclaimed. Shen Qinglan was stunned, hadn’t reacted yet, when she was already half-embraced by Dong Yao. Only hearing Dong Yao say, "Didn’t notice before, our Qinglan looks so beautiful when she smiles!" When the original owner was silly, she laughed all day long, but everyone’s focus was on her dirty little face and drooling mouth, how could there be any sense of beauty? "Qinglan, just now you said you went to Zhou Family Village, what did you go for?" Shen Shan, who had brought up the warmed-up meal, looked at her suspiciously. Shen Qinglan accepted the bowl and chopsticks he handed over, lowering her gaze without speaking. After a moment, she slightly tilted her head and said, "I hit Zhou Bo." "Ah?" All three in the kitchen were stunned. "I hit Zhou Bo." Shen Qinglan repeated it. Shen Qingzhu frowned and said, "You went all the way to Zhou Family Village just to hit that scoundrel?" Shen Qinglan nodded, then with a single breath said, "He made cousin cry, also, that woman isn’t as pretty as cousin, nor is she as gentle; Zhou Bo doesn’t deserve cousin." Dong Yao was surprised, "You’ve met that person?" Shen Qinglan nodded, "Mm." "Where did you meet them?" Dong Yao asked again. Shen Qinglan said, "At the Zhou Family." This time, not only Dong Yao but also Shen Shan and Shen Qingzhu’s faces turned livid with anger. Shen Qingzhu slammed the table in fury, saying, "That Zhou Family, to let that woman stay at the Zhou Family so soon, it’s too outrageous!" Shen Qinglan, splashed with soup: =_=
