Su Zhenxing frowned and shouted.
"Su Chen, why are you adding more branches to the fire?!"
"Look, so much more smoke is coming out!"
"Su Chen, are you trying to choke us to death?!"
"Put the fire out, now!"
Liu Yanran also frowned as she reprimanded Su Chen.
"Su Chen, Mom knows you've never been a selfish child."
"Look, the fire you lit has smoked all of us out."
"Su Chen, you surely wouldn't only think of yourself, right? Hurry up and put out the fire!"
Su Chen picked up a burning Rose Branch and looked at Su Zhenxing and Liu Yanran in confusion.
"Put out the fire?!"
"You can see how damp this room is! If I don't burn a fire to dry it out, how can anyone live in here, right?!"
"You wouldn't be so selfish that you only care about yourselves, would you?!"
"It's just a little smoke! You'll get used to it after being smoked out for a while!"
"You're only getting smoked a little, but I have to sleep in this damp room!"
"You surely wouldn't be selfish enough to make me live in such a damp room just so you won't get smoked out, right?!"
Liu Yanran choked on her words.
Why was Su Chen talking like this?!
He was truly detestable!
No wonder she could never bring herself to like Su Chen!
Su Zhenxing glanced at Liu Yanran and could not help blaming her.
If Liu Yanran had handled Su Chen's bedroom properly instead of making him live in such a tiny, damp room, why would Su Chen have gone mad and started a fire to dry it out?!
Su Zhenxing knew that Su Chen's bedroom had to be dealt with today.
Otherwise, judging by Su Chen's attitude, the fire probably would not be put out, and the smoke filling the villa would not go away either. Wouldn't he end up choking to death from it?!
"Su Chen, put out the fire."
"We'll give you a new bedroom, one that's bigger, brighter, and cleaner. Then you won't need to burn a fire to dry this room out!"
Liu Yanran's lips moved as though she wanted to say something, but after looking at Su Zhenxing, she swallowed her words.
Before this, although Su Chen had never asked to change rooms, he had asked Liu Yanran to get the dampness removed from his bedroom. Liu Yanran had shut him down with a single sentence: "Su Chen, why are you always making so much trouble?! Everyone is so busy, so why are you still making trouble for everyone?!"
After that, Su Chen never mentioned the damp room again.
Therefore, upon hearing Su Zhenxing's words, Su Chen exaggeratedly put on a surprised expression and looked at Liu Yanran. "Maybe we shouldn't?!"
"Didn't you say you were all very busy? Wouldn't I just be causing trouble for everyone?!"
"I'm already an adult. I should handle my own affairs myself!"
Su Chen waved his hand.
"I'll just keep burning a fire to dry out the room myself!"
"I'm fine. I won't cause trouble for everyone!"
As he spoke, Su Chen picked up several more Rose Branches and threw them into the fire.
This time, not only did Su Zhenxing's eyes twitch, but the muscles in his cheeks twitched as well.
"It's not trouble. How could it be trouble?!"
"Not troublesome at all!"
"Who said you were causing trouble for us?!"
"This isn't troublesome at all!"
As he spoke, Su Zhenxing swept a sharp gaze over Liu Yanran and Su Lili.
He wanted to see who would dare say that this was causing trouble for everyone.
Liu Yanran's expression stiffened.
Liu Yanran suddenly remembered that she seemed to have said those very words to Su Chen.
Given the current situation, Liu Yanran naturally would not say such a thing again.
Liu Yanran pursed her lips and forced out a faint smile.
"Of course it's not troublesome! How could something so simple be troublesome!"
Su Lili had fallen silent the moment she saw that Su Chen's bedroom was small, damp, and windowless. She did not speak again.
Su Lili did not like this younger brother who had been brought back halfway through life either, but that was because he had grown up in an orphanage and did not have even a trace of the bearing expected of the richest family's son.
Even so, Su Lili did not believe her brother should be living in such a room. As the richest family, they certainly did not lack one normal bedroom for Su Chen!
Thus, faced with Su Zhenxing's words, Su Lili merely nodded, tacitly agreeing with him.
Su Zhenxing nodded in satisfaction, very pleased that Liu Yanran and Su Lili knew how to read the situation.
Su Zhenxing turned to Su Chen again.
"Su Chen, look, everyone agrees to give you a new bedroom."
"So, you can put out this fire now, right?!"
As he spoke, Su Zhenxing glanced at the fire pit.
The fire was burning fiercely! The flames were vigorous! The smoke was endless!
Su Zhenxing could not help coughing twice more.
Su Chen looked at Liu Yanran and Su Lili with difficulty, then asked innocently.
"Giving me a new bedroom really isn't causing you any trouble?"
"If it's too troublesome, then I really won't trouble you."
Liu Yanran's expression remained stiff. There was something wrong with the way Su Chen's words sounded! No matter how she heard them, it felt as though Su Chen was directing them at her.
Still, Liu Yanran forced out a smile and said.
"Not troublesome, not troublesome, of course it's not troublesome!"
Su Lili shook her head coldly and answered simply.
"Not troublesome."
Su Chen beamed and thanked Su Zhenxing, Liu Yanran, and Su Lili somewhat bashfully.
"Since it's not troublesome, then I won't refuse the kindness of you three, lest I hurt your feelings."
Hearing that, and seeing Su Chen's affected manner, Su Zhenxing felt his teeth ache, Liu Yanran secretly seethed, and Su Lili could not help feeling somewhat puzzled.
Today's Su Chen was different from the Su Chen of before.
Su Zhenxing looked at Su Chen in relief, then pointed at the fire pit by Su Chen's feet.
"Su Chen, since everyone has agreed to give you a new bedroom, you can put out the fire now, right?!"
"Look at how much smoke that fire pit is producing!"
"It's drifting all over the villa!"
"Look, everyone is being choked by the smoke!"
"Su Chen, hurry up and put out the fire!"
The moment smoke was mentioned, Su Zhenxing could not help coughing again.
He would probably be traumatized whenever he saw or even heard about smoke in the future.
Liu Yanran also looked at Su Chen expectantly, hoping he would quickly put out the fire. The smoke was simply far too choking.
Su Lili said nothing, but she also felt that Su Chen should put out the fire and get rid of the smoke now.
Yet Su Chen widened his eyes, looked at Su Zhenxing, Liu Yanran, and Su Lili, and asked in confusion.
"Put out the fire?!"
"Why put out the fire?!"
The three of them froze.
Su Zhenxing frowned and grew angry.
"Su Chen, don't be ungrateful!"
"We've already agreed to give you a new bedroom, so why are you still burning a fire?!"
"Are you deliberately playing us for fools?!"
Su Chen did not care about Su Zhenxing's anger in the slightest.
He even tilted his head and asked in confusion.
"You've agreed to give me a new bedroom."
"But what does that have to do with putting out the fire?!"
"After all, I still have to sleep in this room tonight!"
"Since I'm sleeping in this room, of course I need to keep the fire burning and keep drying it out."
