“Holy shit!” Had he been blind before? “Wait! When we were in that plane before, weren’t you… Shen Ying admitted it herself!”

“That was just an act so that her older sister would agree to her coming over.

“You mean to say…” Lonemoon’s eyes widened. “You didn’t manage to get her?!”

“…” Yi Qing’s entire body stiffened. He looked down at the green chilli that he just picked up. It was going to become chilli sauce in his hands.

“Er…” No wonder Lonemoon didn’t find them that romantic. He glanced at Yi Qing, who was almost burying his head in the wok of chillies. Lonemoon patted his shoulder and said, “You try harder then. Take your chance while Shen Ying still hasn’t recovered to try to win her over.”

Yi Qing paused. He pulled his head out of the wok and asked, “Why?”

“Are you serious?” Lonemoon sighed and said in a very grave tone, “Once girls get older, they become harder to bluff!” If Yi Qing did not take advantage of the situation while Shen Ying was still young and naive when was he planning to win her over?

“…”

“I’m telling you – you have to chase girls while they’re young. What’s more, she’s now only 15 years old. For all you know, you’ll be her first love!” Lonemoon talked as if he had a wealth of experience. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you first as your brother – if you don’t make your move now, she probably will get cheated by other strange men.”

Yi Qing anxiously retorted, “No!” Master promised him that she would consider him first.

“Alright, even if there isn’t anyone else,” Lonemoon continued, “By the time she recovers fully and restores her natural personality, the problem wouldn’t be that she doesn’t like you. It’ll probably be that she’ll be too lazy to develop feelings for you!”

“…” That… sounds about right. “I… understand.”

“That’s the way!” Lonemoon nodded. Finally, he felt the familiar feeling of being a father again.

Wait! He seemed to be missing something out.

When Chef said that Shen Ying acted as his girlfriend just to come back… Doesn’t that mean that Lonemoon endured the beating for no reason?!

Flips table!

“Shen! Ying!!!”

Late into the night.

Invincible Heavenly Palace, in the back palace.

Shen Ying was gulping down the fruit juice that Chef brought over to her. Her eyes were wide open. A moment later, she returned the empty glass to him. “I’ve finished testing it. Mm… it’s not bad!” She commented with a serious expression. A moment later, she bit her lip and added, “If there’s anything new that you want me to try, please bring it over. I won’t be able to test it once I go to sleep.”

I really want another cup, but I can’t say that!

(⊙x⊙;)

Yi Qing stared blankly back at her bright eyes. A hint of a smile tugged at the corner of his lips as a warmth spread throughout his chest. He turned and poured her another glass. “Can I trouble Master to please try this for me again?”

“Mm.” She nodded firmly. Then, she gulped down the second glass of fruit juice. She licked her lips, eyes twinkling.

Yi Qing did not pour her another glass. Instead, he received the empty glass from Shen Ying and kept it away. “This juice is too sweet – you cannot drink too much of it. Otherwise, it might affect your sleep.” He used his sleeve to wipe the remnants of the fruit juice from her mouth.

Shen Ying trembled. The hand that had been holding the empty glass lingered in mid-air, in the same posture. She felt the heat rush to her face as her cheeks flushed red. Her heart was threatening to thud out of her chest as well.

Calm down, calm down. He’s just a boyfriend. This is very normal. I’m not shy at all… Mm, not at all!

Anyway, Yi Qing seemed to be staying behind for exceptionally long today. Could it be…
