The Wager

"But guess who I heard about at school today?" Shen Nan pretended to be mysterious as he approached Shen Yu and Emily. Then, he casually placed his glass of water on Emily's bedside table and raised his eyebrows slightly. It was as if Emily and Shen Yu could not guess who he was talking about.

Shen Yu turned a page of the magazine in his hand with an indifferent expression. He did not even raise his eyebrows, as if he was not interested in the topic Shen Nan was talking about. On the contrary, Emily was the one who cooperated with Shen Nan by rolling her eyes. She asked uncertainly, "Is it about Qu Li?"

When Emily's words came out, Shen Nan's face stiffened. "How did you know? How did you guess correctly?" Shen Nan asked.

"I'm smart. Grandpa said that I'm the smartest child in the Shen family apart from Brother." Emily raised her chin slightly and said it with great pride. This actually provoked Shen Nan.
