Chapter 178: Let’s Compete In Strength

Shen An hurriedly gestured for Shen Nan to shut up. Shen Nan had been mischievous since he was young. His parents had been invited over to the school since kindergarten. The teacher would not let him go unless he was taught a lesson by the teacher for more than half an hour. It was better for him not to experience such inhuman torture.

Shen Nan had a bitter expression on his face. The trace of fatherly love that he had felt earlier was gone in an instant. He was indeed that unpampered child.

“Our Millie is so strong? She can actually block Xiao Nan’s fist?” Shen Zhong was a little in disbelief. Shen Nan had been like a monkey since he was young. He jumped up and down endlessly. He always had an endless amount of energy, and he was also very strong. How could Emily actually block Shen Nan’s fist?

Shen Nan only reacted when he heard this. “Millie, come, let’s arm wrestle. How did you block my hand back then?”

Shen Nan pretended to take away the bowl and chopsticks in front of him. Then, he leaned his right elbow on the table and raised his eyebrows slightly, indicating that Emily should compete with him in terms of strength.

Emily was confused by Shen Nan’s actions. Why would she start to compete with him in terms of strength for no reason? She was a girl after all. Emily hurriedly shook her head. “No.”

“Come on, come on. It’s just one round. My results are not as good as yours. I don’t believe that your strength is greater than mine.”

Shen Nan quickly acted coquettishly and shook his arm. Shen Nan blinked. Look at how sincere he was.

Emily completely ignored Shen Nan. She pointed at the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of Shen Yu and said, “Brother, I want more pork ribs.”

Emily waited for a while, but there was no response from Shen Yu. She looked at Shen Yu curiously, but she did not know what he was thinking. It was as if he did not hear what she said.

Emily quickly pulled Shen Yu’s sleeve. “Brother? Brother?”

“Huh? What’s wrong?” Shen Yu came back to his senses and looked at Emily in confusion.

“Brother, what were you thinking about just now? I called you a few times, but you ignored me.” Emily felt extremely wronged. She was such a cute person that Shen Nan begged her to compete with him, but Shen Yu actually did not hear what she said just now.

“It’s nothing. I was just wondering who was the one who told the school about your injury in such detail. Also, how did Shen Xue know that your hand was about to be crippled?”

Shen Yu’s words were whispered into Emily’s ear. After all, it was better not to let too many people worry about something that had not been verified.

Emily hurriedly shook her head. She did not know either. Other than Shen Xue, she had not offended anyone else in the school. However, it did not seem like there was anything wrong with talking about her. She felt that Shen Yu was a little too sensitive.

“What are the two of you whispering about? Millie, hurry up. Let’s compete on whose strength is stronger?” Shen Nan was now focused on competing on strength. How could he pay attention to the conversation between Emily and Shen Yu?

“No, Brother. Sixth Brother bullied me. We’re eating now. He said he wants to compete on whose strength is stronger. I’m a girl. How can I compete with Sixth Brother?”

Emily shook her head like a rattle-drum. Her two braids swayed with her movements. She was very cute.

When Shen Yu heard that, he glared at Shen Nan. Shen Nan instantly became obedient, but he muttered unwillingly, “Millie, you little liar. You’re so strong, yet you still ask Fifth Brother to help you.”

“Third Aunt, Sixth Brother said I’m a little liar.” When Emily heard Shen Nan’s low voice, she quickly complained. Then, she raised her eyebrows at Shen Nan as if she was asking her to scold Shen Nan.

Shen Nan was angry. When he saw his own mother’s dark face, he quickly shook his head. “Mom, I didn’t. I just wanted to compete with Emily in strength.”

“You’re a boy. How can you compete with a girl in strength? If you lose, you’ll be the one who will lose face.” Shen An did not wait for his wife to speak. He was already prepared to find a way out for his son.

However, Shen An was overthinking. Shen Nan’s mind was focused on competing with Emily in terms of strength. How would he know that the way his own father had found for him was only for people of the same age, and not for Shen Nan’s gender?

“No, I won’t lose. You already said that I’m a boy. In terms of strength, how can I lose to Millie? Quick, Millie, let’s compete. When you lose, don’t cry.”
