Chapter 25: Esper Test Failure

  Touch it... no feeling at all!

  Clutching my fist, releasing it and touching again, still no feeling at all!

  Take a deep breath and put your hand on Momo's belly again, rubbing it back and forth several times, but still no feeling!

  Shen Han couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and even a bit anxious, so she closed her eyes carefully to feel it, just like the day she helped the Yuan family rescue their grandson. Unfortunately, under her hands, everything was still calm and quiet, except for the warmth and slight tremble coming from Mao Mao itself, she couldn't feel any fetal movement at all.

  "It's just as I thought... That day was just a stroke of luck!"

  "What?"

  Shen Huan's repeated touches made Yue Xue also feel a bit tense, but her thoughts were different. When she saw Shen Huan touch her belly again and again, she thought it was just her feeling it, but unexpectedly, the first words that came out of her mouth were "that day was lucky". The implication didn't need to be said, it was already understood.

  "I didn't feel any signs at all, not even a little bit of that direct impact on my heart like when I touched Sister Yuan's belly that day. It seems... that day was really just luck, saving me and my mother-in-law."

  She spread her hands and said with some helplessness, not to mention whether this ability was real or just a flash in the pan, even if it was true that she would have it again in the future, she still wanted to have some of her own little secrets, no matter how Shadow Snow questioned her about this ability.

  "But Momo looks very spirited, so there shouldn't be anything wrong."

  "Hmm... don't you trust me?"

  Yingyue Xue put the rabbit on the ground, and after it burrowed into its little nest, she turned around to face Shen Huan's gaze: "I know we're not familiar with each other yet, so it's normal that you have something hidden."

  Some were shocked by her sudden change, Shen Huan pursed his lips and didn't know what to say, but his body moved before him and grabbed Xue Yue's arm as she was about to turn around and go back into the house: "Actually I don't know how it will be either, let me try again!"

  Shen Huan's sincerity on her face made Yue Xue also feel a bit embarrassed. She was a straightforward person who liked to verify things through her own actions. When she learned that Shen Huan had such an incredible sense of touch, she knew that the answer was somewhat different from what she had imagined, yet still shared some similarities. Her excitement turned into disappointment, and she couldn't help but feel a bit impatient.

  "No... never mind."

  Seeing her refuse his proposal, Shen Huan also became somewhat anxious. She had come to this world without a single friend or someone she could talk to. Even though her relationship with the in-laws was good now, there were some things and words that could only be shared with friends, and Yue Xue was the first person who made her feel like they could become friends.

  "I really didn't think you were untrustworthy, just now..."

  "Don't worry, I trust you, I was just a bit impatient earlier."

  Chong Shen couldn't help but look at her with a different gaze, and when they met at the Yuan family home, they didn't have much conversation. She was saying that she would listen and obey, but if it were usual times, she definitely wouldn't be that obedient person who listened to others' orders.

  It's not easy for her to be as ruthless as a knife in the snowy moonlight, and this is not an official case in the yamen!

  But when Shadow Moon saw Shen Huan's resolute and decisive gaze for the first time, she chose to believe her. It was a kind of reckless determination and ruthlessness that Shadow Moon was very familiar with. When she dissected a corpse for the first time, she had looked at the cold dead body in the same way.

  "Really?"

  "Really!"

  Shen Han finally let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but say, "I don't have many acquaintances here, I really wanted to make friends with you, you scared me to death just now!"

  "That... actually I've heard a thing or two about what's been going on with you. There's something that's been piling up in my heart for a long time..."

  Shen Han was somewhat taken aback, as the impression she got from Yue Xue was that she was very decisive, saying and doing whatever she wanted without hesitation. Just like earlier when she showed her true nature in her excitement, now why was she suddenly being coy?

  "Go ahead and say what you want, don't be polite!"

  "Did you originally marry into this husbandless Zhao family of your own accord, or was it really as the rumors say, that you were sold by your father and then made a big fuss in the Zhao family, crying and making trouble for a long time before finally submitting?"

  The eight trigrams of light flickered at the bottom of Xue's eyes, making Shen Han really unkind to laugh at her excitement. She immediately put on a serious face and replied before Xue exploded: "Actually... rumors are all half true and half false. You say I'm such a young widow with a delicate appearance, who wouldn't feel some reluctance in their heart?"

  "So you're saying that back then, you were really deceived by your dad and sent to the wedding sedan?"

  "Hmm... it's not that I was deceived or anything. My dad told me before, and even though I wasn't happy about it, I still had to get married. But then I came around!"

  As she said these words with a half-true and half-false tone, Yingyue Xue also followed her movements and footsteps to the door. As she closed the door, she couldn't help but ask: "How can such things be thought of?"

  "What's wrong with this?"

  Shen Huan turned around and walked towards home, neither of them said goodbye or see you off, they just naturally stepped out of the yard, chatting as they walked: "Think about it... how many people have met their partner's family before getting married? Does this count as a blind marriage?"

  Facing Shen Huan's inquiring eyes, Yue Xue thought for a moment and finally nodded.

  "Since it's a blind marriage, you don't even know the other person's character, what if you end up marrying a scumbag?"

  Although she was slightly surprised by Shen Huan's description, she could still understand what he meant. "Trash man" probably referred to a bad guy, right? So she could only nod in agreement once again.

  "So, you know! A woman's life is very short. Rather than taking the risk of marrying a man who might be a scumbag, it's better to just accept reality and live a peaceful life on your own. Besides, from my experience living with my in-laws for several months, although we're not wealthy, my mother-in-law and younger brother-in-law are very nice to get along with, there won't be any conflicts between us... what do you think?"

  Yingyue Xue saw her saying it lightly, and although she also felt relieved for her attitude, at least she wasn't living in a world of fire and water; on the other hand, she couldn't help but think to herself: You have no choice, just accept your fate!

  They have a lot in common with each other, and as they chatted, they became familiar with each other. Along the way, they also attracted the attention of some onlookers, after all, Ying Yue Xue is a person from the government office, and there are not many people in the town who know her. A widow and a mortician walking together, it seems like their relationship is quite good? Is this going to become another gossip in Fugui Town?

  "I'll just send you here, if there's someone at your home I won't be able to go in conveniently."

  "Come on... let's go in and sit down! It's all family at home, doesn't matter."

  "Let me be honest with you, didn't your family have guests coming over today? The one who looks a bit like you, I'm guessing is probably your older brother. And the other one...I don't quite take to him!"

  Shen Han couldn't help but cheer in her heart, isn't it easy to find a friend? Not easy! Finding a friend with similar feelings is even harder, she now really wants to give Ying Yue Xue a hug and shake paws to show that heroes think alike!

  But she remained calm and just smiled without saying a word. She then waved at her and said, "I'll go in first, come find me when you have time!"

  Watching Shen Huan push open the courtyard door that was about to fall off, Ying Yue Xue's face turned red with anger and she said: "You're a widow, what's there to play with you?"

  Abdominal ridicule returns to abdominal ridicule, at the moment she pushed open the big gate, Yingyue Xue also turned around and headed towards her destination, as for the direction of the destination, it was naturally the government office...
