Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

She was just so hungry that she got a little dizzy.

In fact, she felt considerably very dizzy.

“How quiet.”

Indeed, it was very quiet.

It was an unusual kind of silence.

There were murderers all around the woods, yet it was so quiet that there was not a single sound that could be heard.

Shen Qianshu said, “Their combat strategies are too chaotic. They have been misled by us the whole time. They gave us a night to take a breather. They still haven’t learned their lesson. If they insist on fighting us head-on, they are bound to lose out.”

Maxi said, “I have a sudden premonition.”

Monica was silent.

Shen Qianshu observed around with her binoculars and she noticed a small team.

“I see a small team.”

Monica and Maxi looked over. There were five of them in the small team. They found high ground and began hiding there, getting ready to ambush. From their angle, Monica, Maxi, and Qianshu could roughly see their actions. They were in a cave and were observing through the exit of the cave.

It was not so easy for others to see them.

Shen Qianshu said, “What are they doing there?”

No one had an answer to the question.

For the whole afternoon, it was really really quiet.

There was only the sound of rustling leaves in the woods.

The sky became dark.

The moonlight shone brightly as the stars glittered. It was such a great pleasure to observe the starry sky at night. Even if they had to move a rock aside in the cave to see it, it was still such beautiful scenery.

Shen Qianshu said, “Guess what I found while I was hiding in the tree today?”

“Food?”

Shen Qianshu said, “No, my Mom’s guidance.”

“… ” Maxi stared at Monica.

Monica was rather interested. “What guidance? Did she tell you how to win this competition? Did her soul enter your dreams and told you stuff? Or has she hidden in the tree before and written the secret formulas? I liked watching Wuxia dramas since I was young. When you fall into a hole, you are bound to find some secret formulas. The kind of drama when someone goes into a coma from high fever, and then there will be a beauty who takes off all her clothes. Did you find those secret formulas too?”

Shen Qianshu said, “My Mom wrote some words. Fang Hongxiu was here.”

Maxi asked, “What kind of guidance is this?!”

Shen Qianshu said, “Hope.”

Monica said, “I did not ask anything.”

Shen Qianshu said, “Don’t you think it’s really cool? My Mom left those words there decades ago, and I actually saw them! This is a form of guidance somehow. So, I’ll definitely win.”

Monica said, “Sis, I realize that you love being optimistic and giving yourself chicken soup for the soul.”

Hearing it makes me hungry.

Shen Qianshu said, “Poisonous chicken soup.”

Maxi said, “Haven’t you ever thought of this? If you win, it means that Monica and I are dead. Sis, who gave you the courage to think that you can beat both Monica and me?”

Shen Qianshu was speechless.

“I don’t have to fight you guys 1v2, do I?” Shen Qianshu asked.

“No. You do.”

“If I kill either one of you, the other one would kill themselves out of love, isn’t it?”

After all, you guys are so loving.

You definitely wouldn’t disappoint me.

Monica said, “Oh, sis. You’re wrong. Maxi and I going up against you would be 1v4. I mean, if you fight any of us, it’d also be 1v2. You get it?”

Shen Qianshu said, “I have feelings too.”

Maxi smiled.

“How quiet.”

“They have changed their strategy,” Monica said.

Shen Qianshu said, “How obvious. Otherwise, how could we be in the mood to look at the stars in the sky? I’m so tired. I really want to sleep.”

“Go to sleep,” Monica said. “Maxi, you too. I will guard here. Three hours later, we will swap.”
