Da Li Temple - Chapter 76.1

Chapter 76.1
Courtesy

In the Heir’s Residence, a sliver of the moon appears on the window pane, like window decals. Su Moyi probably knew Lin Wanqing was afraid of cold, so he gave instructions. Today, the earth dragon in this room is burning extra hot.
??
Only Lailuo was in the room, so Lin Wanqing did not wear an overcoat. She casually wore a chest jacket over a big-sleeved shirt with its lapel slightly open, looking lazy and charming. She sat on the edge of the couch, blew the bowl of blackish medicinal juice in her hand, and handed it to Lailuo’s hand, saying, “It’s cool enough. Drink it.”
??
Lailuo frowned and pouted, looking like she was about to cry.
??
Lin Wanqing was still angry with her, so she was too lazy to nag her. With a stern face, she said, “I’ll leave if you don’t drink it.”
??
“Drink, drink, drink!” Only then did Lailuo take the medicine bowl, pinched her nose, and gulp.
??
Lin Wanqing had only heard about Lailuo from Liang Weiping this morning, and besides being surprised, she was furious at being deceived. However, in the end, the person saved her life, and she still came to visit because of gratitude. As a result, as soon as she entered the door, she saw a bunch of people holding her down and pouring medicine like they were killing a pig.
??
Lin Wanqing took the empty bowl that Lailuo handed back, turned around, and put it aside without saying a word.
??
“Miss,” Lailuo called to her, her voice tinged with confusion, “Do you like Su Moyi that much?”
??
The bowl in her hand slipped, falling onto the table and knocking into other cups, making a few crisp sounds.
??
Lin Wanqing frowned, looking at Lailuo angrily, “This has nothing to do with liking him or not. I’m angry at you!” She sighed and said resentfully, “Do you know that you have to pay with your life if you’re killing someone?”
??
“I know,” Lailuo was indifferent, “But if not for Lady Xiao, I would have died when I was four years old. Anyway, I don’t see any good in living ……”

“You!” Lin Wanqing was so angry that she was out of ideas. Seeing it was impossible to be intimidating, she changed to a soft and gentle attitude, tricking her, “Why don’t you admit your crime and serve the Emperor? I can ask for mercy for you once the chaos of the former dynasty is settled.”
??
“No,” Lailuo was determine. “I can’t wait to kill that dog Emperor with a sword. I don’t want to help him.”
??
Lin Wanqing was so scared that she hurriedly covered her mouth and immediately explained, “I heard Liang Weiping say in the afternoon that the Emperor has allowed the Lord to overturn the Xiao family’s case ……”
??
“Then, will Lady Xiao be able to come back to life?” Lailuo asked.
??
Lin Wanqing was momentarily speechless and only faintly asked, “Then if you kill the Emperor, will my aunt be back to life?”
??
“I don’t care,” Lailuo said, “At least I’m happy to kill the dog Emperor.”
??
“…… ” Well, this person really can’t be reasoned with.
??
Lin Wanqing wanted to persuade her, but she heard footsteps from outside the door and Ye Qing’s voice, who had been watching outside. He called out in a deep voice, “My Lord.”
??
Hearing this, she tensed and leaped from the couch. That pair of delicate hands stirred the cuffs, let go, stirred tightly again, and let go again —
??
Lin Wanqing felt she didn’t feel this tense when she first met him on the night of the thunderstorm.
??
Su Moyi, wearing a black cloak, pushed open the door and walked in. The chill from outside still stained his body, and the cold slightly reddened his pale skin. The two stood and stared at each other for a moment. No one opened their mouths, but both tacitly blushed.
??
Lailuo, chained on the waist, stretched her neck and looked around.

Goo goo — Lin Wanqing’s stomach suddenly growled. She had really forgotten that she had been advising Lailuo and had not yet had time to have her evening meal, and as it was almost past the eleventh period, she should indeed be hungry. The three people in the room froze simultaneously. The originally silent room suddenly filled with a more awkward atmosphere.
??
“I ……” Lin Wanqing tried to explain.
??
“Let’s have dinner together,” Su Moyi opened his mouth first.
??
They walked in silence from Lailuo’s room to Su Moyi’s courtyard. Lin Wanqing came straight out of the room and still dressed in the same outfit as before. Su Moyi stared at her briefly with darkened eyes and unwrapped his cloak to put it on for her.
??
“Thank ……” Lin Wanqing had not said thank you yet before she heard Su Moyi coldly say: “I have never been attracted to women’s tease.”
??
Lin Wanqing was shocked, almost choked to death by the half-said word ‘thank you.’ This dog official thought she wore fewer clothes to seduce him, right? She wanted to take off the cloak on her body and smash it directly into his face!
??
“Ah-choo!!!” But having just untied a lacing, a shocking sneeze sent all of Lin Wanqing’s backbone flying. She raised her eyes and looked around. The cold night was freezing; she’d froze to death if she took off the cloak. Forget it! Her life is essential, and she is too generous to bother with this dog official.
??
So, Lin Wanqing did not say thank you, angrily fastened the cloak tightly, and accelerated her footsteps. She wanted to eat quickly, return to the room, and never talk to this person again.
??
Two people, one after another, arrived at the dining hall. The meal had already been prepared, and the dishes were rich in color with meat and vegetables. Lin Wanqing’s appetite was aroused as soon as she looked at them. But she remembered the etiquette, waiting for Su Moyi to sit down before picking up the bowls and chopsticks and preparing to start.

“Eat,” Su Moyi said expressionlessly, “I have a cleanliness fetish and do not like to share food with others. But seeing you’ve waited so hard, I’ll reluctantly join you for your meal.”
??
“…… “Lin Wanqing’s hand holding the chopsticks stiffened.
??
Fine, fine. Wearing less is to seduce him; not eating is to wait for him. He still has the nerve to say that he doesn’t share his food because he has a cleanliness fetish, then when the two of them were close before —
??
Lin Wanqing blushed while holding her tongue. Whoever receives gifts sells their liberty. Moreover, she was still wearing other people’s clothes and living in other people’s yards—even her friends and her dog were rubbing up against other people’s everything. She sighed and could only say nothing, burying her head in her food.
??
On the contrary, Su Moyi ate elegantly from the beginning to the end, chewing slowly and not saying a word, as if he was afraid that Lin Wanqing wouldn’t be able to notice his demeanor.
??
Unsure what the reason was, Lin Wanqing felt as if his hand and throat were not particularly comfortable today. He couldn’t clip the dish steady and then ‘coughed’ twice, and his face became gloomy the more he ate.
??
Lin Wanqing was confused by his weirdness and hurriedly finished her meal. She got up and was about to leave, but Su Moyi pulled her sleeve.
??
“Has Recorder Lin eaten well?” He asked, but his tone was tinged with sour emotions. When he returned today and heard the people in the mansion say that Lin Wanqing hadn’t had her meal yet, a trace of unrealistic elation roamed through his heart. It wasn’t until he went to Lailuo’s room to look for her and saw her in a charming girl’s attire that he was sure that, as they say, a woman was a pleaser, and Lin Wanqing, who was waiting for him to have dinner and was well-dressed, was trying to offer her hospitality and take the initiative to make up with him. So, he laid a thick and sturdy step towards her feet. But what he didn’t expect was that this person didn’t say anything and remained like a wood; no matter how explicitly he implied, she didn’t even give him a piece of meat! What exactly does this woman want?

??——
??
Arrogant Su: Don’t you want to seduce me? Didn’t you want to make up with me? Where is your sincerity?
Retarded Qing: Is Lord Su got Parkinson’s? He can’t even hold a piece of meat steady.
