92: A bittersweet sibling relationship in a chaotic situation

Ah, this!

Shen Guhong could even see that when Gu Yue stood up, she even pulled out a long thread of silver... Looking at this familiar movement, it was clear that it wasn't the first time she had done this... Shen Guhong's gaze was strange, but he did not speak to disturb the scene.

Could this be considered the Young Master's peach blossom luck?

If so, then the Young Master seems to be quite lucky indeed... After confirming that Gu Yue had no other intentions, Shen Guhong quietly retreated to the kitchen and began to help out as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Shen Yue was cooking food. According to the instructions of the Holy Spirit Douluo, Shen Guyan's face and limbs were still in a petrified state, so he could only eat liquid food for these few days.

The Five Little Ones—Qin, Qi, Shu, Hua, Jian—hadn't slept either and volunteered to come to the kitchen to help Shen Yue.

Shen Guyan had taught them martial arts and knowledge, instructed them on how to conduct themselves, and provided them with relatively superior living conditions, making these naturally pure-hearted children feel heartfelt gratitude toward this mysterious Young Master.

Hearing the news of Shen Guyan's accident today had instantly left these children feeling helpless and lost.

Young Master, you can't just abandon us... Fortunately, their Young Master was blessed by heaven, and after being treated by a great figure, he was no longer in serious danger.

Only then did The Five Little Ones completely relax, but since no one had eaten all night, the children were starving.

As steam rose from the pots on the stove, an unprecedented aroma made the five children's mouths water.

Unlike Shen Xing, Shen Yue's cooking skills were excellent. When Shen Guyan was still at the Shen Family home, he loved eating the dishes she made.

“Sister Yue, the food you're making smells so good.” Yu Qin's innocent and romantic little face was flushed red, looking quite adorable.

“Want to learn? I'll teach you.” Shen Yue smiled at her. She didn't know that these children would be trained by Shen Guyan into terrifying killing machines in the future; she only thought of them as little playmates Shen Guyan had found.

In Shen Yue's heart, Shen Guyan was still that well-behaved younger brother, though Old Master Shen's words had caused some strange thoughts to arise out of nowhere.

This thought buried deep in her heart seemed to grow more mellow as it brewed over time... Soon, the fragrant late-night snack was brought to the table by Shen Yue and Shen Guhong. After everyone had been busy all night, they needed to eat something before resting.

“Wow, it smells so good!”

Gu Yue was also called out from afar by Shen Guhong. Looking at the table full of sumptuous dishes, she couldn't help but join The Five Little Ones in feasting heartily.

“Eat up, eat up, you're all still growing. If you want to make it yourselves in the future, you can learn more from Young Miss Yue.” Shen Guhong smiled at the children while finishing up the work in the kitchen.

“You guys eat first, I'll go feed him some liquid food.” Shen Yue said with a smile, then carried a bowl of prepared congee toward Shen Guyan's room.

The room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. The candle on the desk had long since gone out, leaving only the moonlight flowing over the bronze mask.

As she drew near and looked at the handsome youth on the bed, Shen Yue's heart trembled for no reason.

Moonlight filtered through the window lattice, outlining a pale silhouette on his sharp-featured face.

Shen Guyan's eyelashes cast fine shadows under his eyes, trembling slightly with his breath like a lonely bird wanting to take flight but exhausted of strength.

Shen Yue slowly sat by his bedside, just as she had when he was a child, lightly brushing away a few strands of hair stuck to his forehead by sweat.

Seeing his white hair cascading like a waterfall over the plain pillow, a pang of pain hit Shen Yue's heart for no reason.

She didn't know how long her younger brother would have to bear this old-looking white hair... Having been hit directly by the Qian Gu Family's Divine Artifact, he must be in great pain right now... Shen Yue sighed, blew on the congee in the spoon to cool it, and reached out to pinch his chin, slowly bringing it to Shen Guyan's lips.

To her surprise, Shen Guyan's jaw, which had shed its petrified state, was still very stiff. Not being sure if she would hurt her brother's facial muscles, she didn't dare to use force suddenly.

How could this be... Shen Yue looked around the room, but didn't seem to find any suitable feeding tools.

As Shen Yue searched in vain, a thought that somewhat defied social conventions suddenly surfaced in her mind, causing her pretty face to instantly flush with shame.

No, no, absolutely not! How could she do that?

But when she saw Shen Guyan's familiar sleeping face again, the seed planted years ago finally couldn't help but take root and sprout... She picked up a wet towel nearby to gently wipe Shen Guyan's face, then took a spoonful of warm millet porridge into her mouth and leaned her head down toward Shen Guyan... After much effort, Shen Yue finally endured her shame, broke through Shen Guyan's defenses, touched that moist softness, and delivered the liquid food from her mouth.

After doing this, Shen Yue suddenly raised her head and looked around in a panic. After confirming that no one was around, she breathed a sigh of relief, though the flush on her pretty face had not faded, and a strange sense of excitement lingered in her heart.

Heavens, what was wrong with her? Shen Yue quickly covered her face with both hands, the flush on her face deepening... Most importantly, it seemed like... she didn't really resist doing this?

As the saying goes, the first time is awkward, the second time is familiar. After doing it several times in a row, Shen Yue didn't seem so inexperienced anymore.

Shen Guhong was just coming out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodle soup, intending to give it to Shen Yue.

Approaching the door, he was about to call out to the Eldest Young Miss to eat, and then he saw this jaw-dropping scene.

Ah, no, this, this... How could the Eldest Young Miss also... Shen Guhong's eyes bulged, his jaw hung wide open, and even his nose started running; he was clearly shocked to the core.

As if sensing someone's gaze, Shen Yue jumped up like a startled cat.

“Hu—Uncle Hong...” At this moment, Shen Yue's face was as red as sunset clouds; she was so embarrassed she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

“Uh... haha, I didn't see anything, I didn't see anything...” Shen Guhong laughed awkwardly and stiffly turned around.

“Uncle Hong!” Shen Yue stamped her feet in shame: “In the name of the Shen Family's Eldest Young Miss, I punish you...”

Before she could finish, Shen Guhong fled in terror.

Looking at Shen Guhong's fleeing figure, Shen Yue stamped her feet in a mix of anger and amusement before turning her gaze back to her unconscious brother on the bed.

Forget it, I'll just treat this as a special situation. I hope Uncle Hong won't tell anyone, otherwise... humph!

Shen Yue sighed softly and then continued her previous actions.

Just as she was gradually getting used to it, she was completely unaware that a silver figure was standing outside the door.

Gu Yue's beautiful eyes were also wide with disbelief, and even... a hint of anger.

How could she... how could she... Clearly, Brother is clearly hers...
