Chapter 129: Time for a Meal?
“Hmm, don’t wake him up.”
Lin Shuxue nodded.
“But… why are you still hiding? He doesn’t mean you any harm…”
Lin Shuxue stepped aside, and Sakura walked straight past.
She opened the balcony door, gently shook her head as if to answer.
She walked into the room.
She and Lin Shuxue were actually the same, both having experienced intense loss, so they became easily satisfied…
As long as he was alive, it was enough…
She didn’t want to disturb, nor did she want to compete with them…
From the very beginning, her purpose in coming to this world was simply to hide far away and protect him.
Chen Yuan was still drooling, his sleeping position was quite ungainly, giving off a carefree vibe, but he didn’t snore.
Looking closely at his silly sleeping face, Sakura squatted down and poked his face with her finger in a cute manner.
Just as she did back when they first met…
He had suddenly fallen from the sky and fainted in front of her…
“Hmm—”
Chen Yuan, uncomfortable from being poked, smacked his lips, furrowed his brows, and grunted as he flipped over to avoid her.
A rare smile crept onto her lips…
“If possible, please help me keep my whereabouts a secret,” she said softly, withdrawing her finger.
“That won’t work, they’re all very capable.”
Lin Shuxue’s meaning was clear; as long as she kept secretly watching, she would eventually be discovered. It was just a matter of time.
Sakura didn’t say anything; she probably understood this, but she couldn’t bring herself to appear.
“Brother really… misses you,” Lin Shuxue continued persuading.
She stepped forward and looked at Chen Yuan, her eyes warm.
Upon hearing this, Sakura’s movement, which was originally leaving, noticeably paused.
“Your story was all told to me by brother; you’re the last one left. Brother only has the five of us.”
“Just missing you.”
Sakura: “Thank you.”
After speaking, she still resolutely left.
In the blink of an eye, she vanished into the night, disappearing without a trace.
Like a stray cat in the dark.
In truth, her heart was waiting for someone to bring her home again…
A stray cat could only cautiously approach humans, afraid to scratch or hurt them…
…
The next morning.
Lin Shuxue was pinching Chen Yuan’s face and smiling joyfully:
“Brother, get up, the sun is already shining on your bottom!”
“Ah… what’s wrong with the peanuts?” Chen Yuan, being pulled at the cheeks, looked groggy.
“We’re moving.”
Chen Yuan yawned, reached for his phone to check the time.
7:30.
？
“It’s only 7:30, why are we up so early…” Chen Yuan tossed his phone aside and rolled back to sleep.
But Lin Shuxue was right there, how could she let him go back to sleep?
“Brother.”
“Brother.”
“Quickly get up!”
She rubbed his face and tousled his hair.
Then grabbed his hands and pulled him up!
“Ugh… even at 8 AM we’re not supposed to be up this early…”
Chen Yuan sighed, rubbing his eyes, truly feeling miserable…
Seeing Chen Yuan sit up, Lin Shuxue felt relieved and walked out of the room, not forgetting to remind him one last time:
“Hurry up and get up.”
Bang—
The door closed.
Chen Yuan, with messy hair, yawned again.
What the heck…
He rolled over and went back to sleep…
…
In the kitchen, Cu was already making breakfast.
When Lin Shuxue entered the kitchen, she wanted to help, but she didn’t really know how to use any of these things…
“Is Chen Yuan up?” Cu asked, heating water and preparing to make scallion oil noodles.
“Hmm.”
Lin Shuxue nodded and stood by, watching Cu operate and learning how to use these things.
Seeing this, Cu didn’t hold back and shared her experiences from nearly a month of using them.
“Sister, you’re the queen after all…” Lin Shuxue was touched to see how skilled Cu was with the kitchen tools.
“There’s no queen here…” Cu replied with a gentle smile, her eyes soft.
Only fellow girls could understand each other so well.
A dignified queen had already stepped out of the hall and into the kitchen…
“But sister… if you don’t say it, brother won’t know that he’s so clueless,” Lin Shuxue said shocking things.
Cu almost dropped the long chopsticks she was holding.
Lin Shuxue reached out to catch them and chuckled softly…
“I…” Cu’s face turned slightly red…
Lin Shuxue: “Look at that Demon Cultivator, how competitive she is?”
“That’s because Leia isn’t here; if Leia were, she wouldn’t dare to be so disobedient.”
“Oh… you three are a balanced tripod, huh…”
Lin Shuxue nodded, wondering how, with Cu’s personality, Yu must hold the highest position in the household regarding brother…
Cu was confused: “What tripod?”
“……”
Yu opened her room, fully packed, not planning to have breakfast.
She walked to the living room and saw the two chatting in the kitchen, then suddenly turned back.
They are here, but where’s Darling?
What a great opportunity!
Decisively, she went to Chen Yuan’s room door and sneaked in like a thief…
Seeing the sleeping Chen Yuan, Yu’s eyes lit up like she saw something adorable!
She pecked the sleeping Chen Yuan like a woodpecker!
…
“Alright, sprinkle some scallions, and it’s done.”
With the noodles ready, Cu picked up the chopsticks, and Lin Shuxue smelled the aroma: “You can compete with my brother in culinary skills!”
“Why hasn’t Yu gotten up today? Doesn’t she have class?” Cu wondered as she carried the noodles.
“Why hasn’t brother come out either? He’s not asleep again, is he?” Lin Shuxue wondered too.
Then Cu quickly reacted: “Oh no, Yu isn’t stealing away, is she?”
“Ah?” Lin Shuxue put down the bowl and followed Cu’s gaze toward the room.
As soon as she pushed the door open, a large black rat crawled up from Chen Yuan’s body…
Yu pretended to be nonchalant as she stood up, licking her lips, saying nothing, but it felt as if she had said everything…
Lin Shuxue was stunned, and the ingrained stereotype of Demon Cultivators kicked in, causing her body to react instantly:
“Water Cold True Technique!!”
People from the Demon Cult! I want you to be reduced to ashes!
Boom—
Clang—
Crack—
Cu had just set down her bowl when she heard the loud noise and rushed over to stop it, but it was too late.
The whole room was already destroyed…
It looked almost identical to the scene from that night when she had taken action, but this time it was worse; even the balcony door was broken…
Yu had already recovered, and after the defense, she was fine; she just didn’t expect this person to be more sudden than Cu!
There was no prior warning at all!
On the floor, Chen Yuan slowly poked his head out from beside the bed, his eyes still half-closed from sleep:
“What happened?”
“Time for a meal?”
“Why are you all here?”
