CHAPTER 355: CHAPTER 355: MY BROTHER DID IT

"If you want to think that way, it’s not impossible." Rong Qingqing replied dryly.

She just couldn’t understand why Shen Jue would consider a shirt an engagement gift.

Engagement gift, what a lovely thought.

If we can actually get engaged, it’s all thanks to that damn system.

"Thank you." Shen Jue, in a good mood, accepted the engagement gift and apologized, "Sorry, I wasn’t thoughtful enough to prepare one for you. I’ll make it up to you before the engagement."

Rong Qingqing shrugged indifferently.

Then she bypassed Shen Jue and headed towards the fish tank.

Since she got a little pet, Rong Qingqing would come by the fish tank every day for a peek.

She moved a chair in front of the tank, looked down for a bit, and saw Black Shen Jue, lazily perched on a rock as usual. Rong Qingqing turned her head towards Shen Jue.

It really was just like Shen Jue himself.

A homebody.

Not fond of moving.

Rong Qingqing reached out through the glass and tapped in front of Black Shen Jue. The small black fish wiggled and slipped into a crevice.

Only then did Rong Qingqing go to find her Fairy Rong Qingqing Fish.

And then she looked and realized something was amiss.

"Ah!!!!"

Rong Qingqing screamed out loud, "My Fairy Rong Qingqing Fish is belly up!"

For some reason, when Shen Jue heard this, his heart sank.

A bad premonition grew within him.

The butler and others all crowded around the fish tank, and sure enough, it was true.

Rong Qingqing reached into the water and touched the fish’s upturned belly. It wasn’t moving at all.

"How could this happen? It was fine when I left this morning~" Rong Qingqing pouted unhappily.

"I know!" Shen Qiao raised his hand and pointed directly at Shen Jue, "My brother did it! I can prove it. When I got back, I saw him sitting here fishing around. It must be my brother’s doing!"

Epitome of a great sister, that’s Shen Qiao.

Heroically accusing her brother of conspiring to kill a fish.

"It must be my brother who squeezed the life out of the fish!" Shen Qiao said loudly.

"Young master seemed to be sitting by the fish tank all day today, and it was the young master who personally changed the water today." The butler muttered quietly, "Could he have accidentally hurt the fish while changing the water? These little fish are very delicate."

"I was very careful!" Shen Jue blurted in rebuttal.

But seeing Rong Qingqing already glaring at him, he quickly called over Lin Bufan, "Go take the fish to the hospital and see if there’s any way to save it."

"Hospital? The city hospital? Or..." Lin Bufan was stunned.

"Veterinary hospital, you fool!" Shen Qiao was nearly dying from laughter at Lin Bufan’s reaction.

"Oh, okay! I’ll take it to the veterinary hospital right away!" Lin Bufan nodded, then took a disposable cup and scooped up the belly-up fish with the fish tank water, and before anyone could react, dashed off holding it.

Lin Bufan was running so fast that Rong Qingqing couldn’t react in time.

"I suspect Lin Bufan thinks if he runs fast enough, he can help his boss destroy the evidence." Rong Qingqing stood with her hands on her hips, fuming.

"No," Shen Jue explained, "just letting him take it to see a vet. If it gets better, we’ll bring it back."

Rong Qingqing glared at Shen Jue, "Why did you have to touch my fish? Look at how you’ve scared it out of its wits?"

Shen Jue, knowing he was at fault, had nothing to say.

Because all day he had been thinking about how to reconcile with her.

Seeing the fish tank, he couldn’t help but take a peek.

And then he couldn’t resist, reaching out to poke it a few times.

Shen Jue had never kept fish before; Nanny Zhao had seen him and warned him not to do that.

Shen Jue had paid no mind.

And now karma had caught up to him.
