Was it you that night?-Chapter 26 - Love Him to the Bone

Chapter 26 -26: Love Him to the Bone
“Elder sister, would you like to move into Simple Residence Courtyard and live with me for the time being?” Shen Qinghe seized the opportunity to present her plan.
In the book, their entire family served as stepping stones for Nan Sheng, each of them meeting a bad end. The recent incident of Nan Sheng stealing the Secret Manual had been a warning bell for her.
Shen Zhiyao was innocent by nature, and in terms of cunning, she could never be Nan Sheng’s match. The safest approach was for the sisters to live together and look out for each other.
If it had been before, Shen Zhiyao would certainly have been reluctant to live with Shen Qinghe, since she wanted to pursue Xiao Chen and take his virginity. But now, her obsession with Xiao Chen wasn’t as deep, and her sister’s safety took precedence.
She readily agreed, “No problem, starting from today, I will stay in the Simple Residence Courtyard to protect you!”
Shen Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, “That’s great, with elder sister here, no one will be able to bully me anymore.”
Shen Zhiyao smiled broadly, showing all her teeth as she put her arm around Shen Qinghe’s shoulder, “Don’t worry, with me here, even Yan Changsheng wouldn’t dare to cause you trouble.”
Shen Qinghe nodded repeatedly, and in this way, Shen Zhiyao stayed at the Simple Residence Courtyard.
However, she didn’t expect that this night, while she and Shen Zhiyao were in the midst of dinner, Dongfang Wuya suddenly appeared.
Upon seeing Dongfang Wuya, Shen Zhiyao immediately stood up.
She saw that Shen Qinghe was still foolishly sitting there unmoving, and gave her a hard kick.
Only then did Shen Qinghe stand up.
Dongfang Wuya, seeing a table with five dishes and one soup, neatly balanced between meat and vegetables, frowned slightly, “You have achieved Foundation Establishment, why do you still need to eat?”
Shen Qinghe was staring blankly at Dongfang Wuya’s long legs, wondering why this important figure had suddenly arrived, and was a bit distracted.
Shen Zhiyao, though somewhat blunt, could tell Dongfang Wuya was speaking to Shen Qinghe.
She pinched Shen Qinghe hard to prompt her to respond.
Just as Shen Qinghe was about to speak, she saw Dongfang Wuya sit down at the dining table as a matter of course. He casually picked up the chopsticks she had used and grabbed a piece of braised pork, throwing it into his mouth.
Shen Zhiyao: …
Shen Qinghe: …
Shen Zhiyao blinked and looked at Shen Qinghe suspiciously, silently asking what was going on.
Shen Qinghe shook her head confusedly at her, indicating she didn’t know either.
It took a while for her to remember those were the chopsticks she had used, and just as she was about to remind him, she saw Dongfang Wuya eat a piece of braised pork, then pick up other dishes as well.
What left her speechless was that Dongfang Wuya had just been questioning why she needed to eat, yet not only had he taken her chopsticks, but he also finished all the remaining dishes.
After finishing his meal, Dongfang Wuya commented indifferently, “The flavor is passable.”
Shen Zhiyao inwardly criticized, the flavor being “passable” didn’t stop him from eating everything, if it had tasted even better, would Mr. Wuya end up swallowing the plates too?
Although Qinghe’s Cultivation Base wasn’t impressive, she excelled in cooking skills, and the food she made was delicious. It was a rare treat for her, only for Mr. Wuya to monopolize the meal.
She pinched Shen Qinghe’s arm hard, signaling her to attend to the distinguished guest.
But Shen Qinghe was like a block of wood, stuck in place. So, deciding to take action herself, she pushed Qinghe forward. This push nearly sent Qinghe stumbling in front of Dongfang Wuya.
Dongfang Wuya, noticing Shen Qinghe standing foolishly before him and remembering she was one of his admirers, suddenly felt at risk of compromising his virtue.
He extended a long finger, lightly tapped Shen Qinghe’s smooth forehead, and commanded calmly, “Stay further away from this lord.”
Shen Qinghe immediately took two steps back and asked curiously, “Uncle Master, have you come to see me for a reason?”
Dongfang Wuya recalled his purpose for this visit and went straight to the point, “The Secret Manual that this lord gave you, has it been stolen by Yan Changsheng?”
Shen Qinghe hadn’t expected Dongfang Wuya to also be aware of the matter, so she meticulously explained the events.
After listening quietly, Dongfang Wuya leaned in close to Shen Qinghe and patted her head, “Not bad, although your cultivation base is lacking, you’re not too foolish.”
Shen Qinghe stood stiffly in place, not daring to move.
She felt that Mr. Wuya probably treated her as a junior, which was why he made such an affectionate gesture.
Shen Zhiyao stood to the side with a mocking smile, speculating that there was something going on, Mr. Wuya must have taken a liking to Qinghe.
Just then, Dongfang Wuya looked towards her as if to ask “Why are you here?”
Shen Zhiyao restrained her smile and turned to walk into the courtyard, then she felt it was absurd. She was Qinghe’s elder sister, not an outsider; why should she be the one to leave?
But thinking of Dongfang Wuya’s face, she felt that giving Qinghe and Mr. Wuya a chance to be alone might perhaps someday lead to Mr. Wuya becoming her brother-in-law.
Once Shen Zhiyao left, Shen Qinghe felt even more uneasy. Seeing that Dongfang Wuya showed no sign of leaving, she cautiously asked, “Is there anything else Master Uncle wishes to instruct?”
Only then did Dongfang Wuya realize his hand was still on Shen Qinghe’s head. He immediately withdrew it, and spoke earnestly, “You’ve just reached Foundation Establishment, you must cultivate diligently in the future, and not be delayed by love.”
Shen Qinghe quickly nodded, thinking to herself that he had said these words before, hadn’t he? She had no intention of falling in love, only wanting to focus on her cultivation.
“Your constitution is quite unique. Don’t rush for quick results, proceed in a systematic manner, and don’t let rumors trouble you. As for those who compare you with Nan Sheng, pay no mind to them. Even if your talent is somewhat inferior, as long as you cultivate diligently, you won’t be inferior to anyone else, and naturally, you won’t be inferior to Nan Sheng either,” Dongfang Wuya said earnestly.
Shen Qinghe’s heart felt warm as she looked into Dongfang Wuya’s bright eyes like shining flames, “I will surely cultivate diligently, not disappointing Master Uncle!”
Everyone said that Mr. Wuya was aloof, but she thought he was the kindest person she had ever met.
Dongfang Wuya met Shen Qinghe’s fiery gaze, his brow furrowing slightly.
This girl was unable to conceal her adoration for him, and he should avoid seeing her too often.
“You should cultivate diligently for yourself, not for me, or anyone else, do you understand?” he said sternly.
“What Master Uncle says is right!” Shen Qinghe responded firmly.

Being this close, she saw the man’s face, as cold as jade.
Though he appeared distant and solemn, a pair of affectionate, peach-blossom eyes made him seem flirtatious.
Feeling guilty, she looked down, but her gaze accidentally fell on the man’s attractive Adam’s apple.
For a moment, her breath slowed, and she suddenly understood why he had so many admirers.
Indeed, such peerless beauty was irresistible, and she had not been spared either.
Seeing Shen Qinghe’s gaze on his throat, Dongfang Wuya’s handsome face darkened, “I’ve said so much to you, have you listened to even one word?!”
He had told her not to be delayed by love, but there she was, looking like a lovestruck girl. Did she not wish to cultivate properly, intending to seduce him instead?
Shen Qinghe looked bewilderedly at Dongfang Wuya, not understanding why he was angry.
She had listened, indeed, she had taken his admonishments to heart.
Seeing her look at him with such an infatuated gaze, Dongfang Wuya felt somewhat powerless, “Forget it, take these.”
He shouldn’t have come this time. Seeing her infatuated and shy demeanor, he feared she was already deeply in love with him.

Mr. Wuya: Is this self-sabotage or what?
