Chapter 150

Su Yunan was indeed named Su Yunan, but that was a long time ago.

He had this name and had hoped someone would call him by his name, but in truth, he was called No. 135 in the past. After entering prison, he became No. 14.

The name Su Yunan was left in his prison admission records as a luxury and proof that he had given up himself.

Someone had called him this before. Now that person was dead.

Su Yunan thought he shouldn’t care anymore. He had a new mission and someone new to protect, but hearing this name that belonged only to him, his heart still beat faster.

Even though he knew the person calling his name had ulterior motives and was not sincere, he... could not refuse.

“Su Yunan, give me money.”

This time, Su Yunan really could not refuse.

“I’m sorry, it’s my salary.”

“Okay, I’ll give it to you.”

Shen Yue achieved her goal and ate happily.

Si Chengyou achieved his goal and drank wine.

Only Su Yunan was left with a messy mind after being called by his name again and being tricked out of all his belongings. His food was still just cabbage rice porridge and hot pepper sauce, the same as what Shen Yue ate.

After eating quietly for a while, Su Yunan’s mind, heated by being called his name, gradually recovered normality.

Then he got angrier the more he thought about it.

He could let Shen Yue go since she was the person he had to protect and he could put up with anything from her. But what was Si Chengyou that he would also incite Shen Yue?

But thinking that Shen Yue and Si Chengyou seemed to have a special relationship now, he didn’t dare make a casual move for fear of disrupting Shen Yue’s plans. He could only stare at Si Chengyou, attempting murder by stare!

After being stared at by Su Yunan for so long, Si Chengyou finally reacted.

He took another wine cup from the table, poured wine into it, and handed it to Su Yunan. “Have a drink and calm down.” Seeing this, Shen Yue asked innocently, “Can drinking make you calm down?”

Si Chengyou admitted it very quickly. “No, it can’t. But people are like this. To achieve a certain goal, they can create things that don't exist and invert black and white. When you go see Building 8, you’ll understand more.”

Shen Yue nodded.

It seemed more useful knowledge had increased.

Su Yunan had not intended to take Si Chengyou’s drink initially, but upon seeing Si Chengyou teaching Shen Yue in what seemed a sincere way, not knowing whether it was competitiveness or some other emotion, he still took Si Chengyou’s drink and downed it.

After drinking, he did not forget to give Shen Yue a warning. “If I die after drinking this cup, please do not believe him again.”

Si Chengyou laughed lightly, about to respond, but Shen Yue had already answered for him. “You won’t die. We made an agreement.”

Hearing this, Si Chengyou paused in his smile. Although he knew Shen Yue meant their transaction, her choice of words really...

Si Chengyou was not heartbroken but got a headache.

They agreed on the meeting place for tomorrow. Su Yunan and Shen Yue returned to Flightless Bird while Si Chengyou, like yesterday, left first.

As Shen Yue left, she did not forget to remind Su Yunan, “Remember to clean up the tableware, or else the canteen manager will scold you.”

When Su Yunan was a prison guard, he did not have privileges when eating. Naturally, he knew that aside from the inmates of Building 1 who had power, the rest had to clean up after themselves.

What he was more concerned with was Shen Yue’s second half of the sentence.

“Were you scolded by the canteen manager?”

At this time, Shen Yue still did not realize the importance of the problem and nodded. “Yes, I didn’t know yesterday so I just left.”

“Who was it? I’ll go kill him.”

Shen Yue, who was just about to leave with the tableware, paused at these words and instead placed the tableware in Su Yunan’s hands. “Don’t casually kill. You’re no longer a guard but just a newcomer inmate.”

Su Yunan seemed somewhat unwilling to accept this, but he did not speak and obediently followed Shen Yue to return the dirty tableware where it belonged before leaving with her.

A certain canteen manager heaved a deep sigh of relief after seeing Shen Yue leave.

Damn it, so that’s why the pay here is so high. Too dangerous! What kind of inmate is this? This is an ancestor! No, I can’t keep working. Even if there’s money, I still need my life to spend it. I’ll go hand in my resignation tomorrow! As they walked, Shen Yue suddenly sneezed. This attracted Su Yunan’s glance. “Do you have a cold?”

Shen Yue shook her head. “No.”

As they walked, more and more gazes landed on them. News spread quickly in Flightless Bird. Now most inmates probably knew that the former strongest guard had become an inmate.

Especially when Su Yunan walked beside Shen Yue, it was as if he was declaring something. Just as he had once protected Shen Yue of Building 1.

The two walked quietly when Shen Yue suddenly called out, “Su Yunan.”

Su Yunan: ...... Seeing no response from Su Yunan, Shen Yue stopped and looked him in the eyes before calling out again, “Su Yunan.”

This time, Su Yunan had nowhere to hide and could only meet Shen Yue’s gaze as he responded, “Yes?”

Yet Shen Yue still did not realize the pressure she was putting on Su Yunan. With a sincere desire for truth, she humbly asked the man before her, “Is it true that being called by name by the opposite gender really makes you lose your composure?”

Su Yunan suddenly felt somewhat guilty, but he still gave an honest reply. “Yes, it does.”

So Shen Yue immediately tried it again. “Su Yunan.”

Stared at straight on by Shen Yue as she called his name in an indifferent tone, Su Yunan finally could not endure it and looked away as he also could not help his face reddening.

Shen Yue finally obtained the result she wanted and nodded. “What Si Chengyou said is true.”

Only then did Su Yunan realize that the ambiguous atmosphere just now was only his own pounding heart. To Shen Yue, she was merely testing the authenticity of Si Chengyou’s words.

Su Yunan suddenly heaved a sigh of relief. This was... also quite good.

But Shen Yue evidently had not let him off yet. “Su Yunan, call me by my name.”

“That’s... not appropriate. How could I directly address you by your name?”

“Su Yunan, call me by my name,” Shen Yue paid no attention to Su Yunan’s refusal. Using the simplest method she judged would work, she tightly grabbed Su Yunan by the throat so he could not resist.

Shen Yue was learning, understanding, then accumulating experience through practice.

Stared at by Shen Yue, Su Yunan’s face grew redder and redder until finally, giving in to Shen Yue’s wishes, he said, “Shen Yue.”

Even though it was someone else’s name, why did it seem that the flustered one was still him?

And Shen Yue finally obtained her own answer, satisfied.

“As expected, I don’t get flustered when called by my name.”

Su Yunan: ......

“Please call me No. 14 from now on.”

Shen Yue did not understand. “Why?”

“Please call me No. 14!”

“So why?”

“I need to protect you. Please call me No. 14.”

Shen Yue thought about it for a while and understood.

“Okay.”
