Older Ancestor Top x Scheming Crane Bottom
Yang Yan found it difficult to explain. Looking at her smiling face, she genuinely didn’t know what to say. In the end, she covered her eyes to avoid looking, trying to hypnotize herself into thinking she knew nothing, and turned away as if nothing had happened.
He Ying smiled indifferently and went to support Shen Yu, who was still a bit dizzy.
As they were about to leave, Yang Yan’s voice came from behind.
“If you’re serious, good luck.”
He Ying curled her lips, glanced back at her, and with inexplicable confidence in her voice, said, “I will be lucky!”
On the way out supporting Shen Yu, Shen Yu frowned and mumbled, “What were you talking about?”
Why didn’t she understand a single word?
“Nothing.” He Ying gave Shen Yu a cute smile, teleported her back home, and then went to get some hot water to wipe her down. Watching her eyebrows relax, He Ying muttered softly.
“What did you say?” Shen Yu frowned.
“Nothing, nothing! Is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable?” He Ying quickly changed the subject. How could she tell Shen Yu that she had just said she shouldn’t drink but insisted on drinking anyway? What was that? Using an online term, it seemed to be called “小趴菜”?
(LP: Idk how to translate it to English but “小趴菜” basically means someone who has a low alcohol tolerance… it also means loser)
Moreover, she hadn’t expected Shen Yu’s alcohol tolerance to be so poor. One bottle of alcohol had her knocked out like this. When she drank, she didn’t feel anything at all.
Shen Yu shook her head and closed her eyes to sleep.
Seeing her like this, He Ying didn’t disturb her any further. Instead, she went to the kitchen to cook some millet porridge. When Shen Yu woke up again, drinking some millet porridge would make her feel much better.
A few days later, Yang Yan sent a message saying she had left without mentioning where she was going. One day, when He Ying passed by her house, she found that a new family she didn’t recognize had moved in. It seemed that Yang Yan’s traces had truly been wiped out from this small town.
After Yang Yan left, that woman never appeared in the town again. Time flew by, and it was time for He Ying to go to university. At this point, she had a great height and long legs, perhaps due to studying dance, and her posture was extremely graceful, with a rhythmic charm in every move.
Now she was as tall as Shen Yu. In the extremely hot summer, although they could use their spiritual power to block the heat, He Ying still liked to dress lightly at home, wearing crop tops and ultra-short shorts, which not only kept her cool but also showcased her figure perfectly.
Every time this happened, Shen Yu always felt as if they were in different seasons. Even though they could use spiritual power, He Ying insisted on dressing like a human to keep cool, which puzzled her greatly.
“You are not allowed to dress like this outside,” Shen Yu said with a frown. How could it be acceptable to go out dressed like this? Wouldn’t everyone see her?
“I wouldn’t dress like this outside.” He Ying sat on a high chair, eating ice cream, her legs swinging leisurely. How could she dress like this outside? Those people weren’t Shen Yu; not everyone could see her dressed like this~
Hearing this, Shen Yu’s brows slightly relaxed. As long as she didn’t dress like this outside, it was fine. Home was a place to relax, so if she wanted to dress like this, she could. As long as she was comfortable.
He Ying scooped a small spoonful of ice cream and brought it to Shen Yu’s mouth, saying softly, “Don’t you really want to try? It’s very cool and delicious!”
Shen Yu’s face stiffened. Seeing the ice cream brought to her mouth, she really couldn’t understand why this thing was so attractive to He Ying, and there was quite a bit stored at home.
“Just try it~ You’ve never had it before, how would you know if it’s good or not without trying?” He Ying’s voice grew softer, with a hint of coquettishness.
Shen Yu glanced at her, and in the end, opened her mouth to eat the piece of ice cream she offered. As soon as it entered her mouth, it was cold, but it was followed by a sweet milky flavor, which was unexpectedly nice.
Her brows relaxed. Seeing her expression, He Ying knew she liked it, so she quickly scooped another piece and fed it to her.

This time, Shen Yu refused her feeding, raising her hand to take the spoon, “I’ll eat it myself.”
He Ying didn’t let go, looking a bit stubborn, insisting on feeding her herself.
Seeing her like this, Shen Yu finally gave in and ate the ice cream she offered.
Seeing her compromise, He Ying’s lips curled into a faint smile. Her gaze toward Shen Yu grew deeper, the heat in her heart burning, but she had to forcibly suppress it, not daring to show a trace.
Can’t rush, can’t rush, now is not the time.
However, Shen Yu couldn’t help but feel that He Ying, during her summer break at home, always wore various light clothes, always moving around in front of her. Seeing this often, Shen Yu started to frown and asked, “Are you really that hot?”
Perhaps considering that she was indeed very hot, her spiritual power wasn’t enough to frequently put up a barrier against the heat, so she directly set a restriction on the whole house, making the entire space much cooler and more comfortable.
He Ying: “…”
When this person saw her dressed like this, she really didn’t think any further.
He Ying sat down next to Shen Yu, placed her long legs on Shen Yu’s lap, and leaned her upper body softly over, lazily saying, “Don’t you know young people have a lot of internal heat? When you have a lot of internal heat, it’s natural to feel hotter.”
Shen Yu: “…” This person was almost lying on her!
She frowned, sounding a bit like an elder, “What are you doing? Sitting like this, what does it look like!”
He Ying didn’t care, even wrapping her arm around Shen Yu’s neck, saying, “You’re the coolest!”
No matter what, even if she didn’t use her spiritual power to block the heat, she still stayed cool all over, never sweating in the hot summer.
Thinking of this, He Ying’s eyes suddenly deepened, her throat dry and itchy. Would she still have sweat beads adorning her skin in that kind of situation?
Shen Yu wanted to push her away, but she clung to her like a sticky cake and wouldn’t let go! And she couldn’t use force on her, so in the end, she had no choice but to let her be.
He Ying secretly pursed her lips and smiled. She knew Shen Yu wouldn’t bear to use force on her, so she leaned against her with peace of mind, not feeling that her calculated little thoughts were wrong.
She wanted Shen Yu to get used to her, used to being with her, used to having physical contact, used to her various acts of coquettishness and possessiveness.
When He Yuan came in, she saw this scene. She froze, her steps halted, looking at them with disbelief, her body trembling slightly, anger beginning to burn in her eyes.
Sensing something was wrong, He Ying quickly got off Shen Yu, went up to pull He Yuan’s arm and walked outside, saying to the confused Shen Yu, “Can you make some millet porridge for me later?”
Shen Yu frowned, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange. However, since He Ying said she wanted to drink the millet porridge she made, she nodded and agreed.
Seeing her nod, He Ying smiled lightly and then pulled He Yuan outside to a shady spot. Without setting up any barriers and before He Yuan could question her, she straightforwardly said, “I like Shen Yu.”
He Yuan, who was about to speak, was choked by her words. She opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound. She looked at her calm daughter for a long time before finally finding her voice, “Do you know what you’re saying?! How can you like Shen Yu? She raised you, you know that!”
He Ying’s expression gradually became serious and earnest. Looking at He Yuan, she said, “Of course I know. But why can’t I like her? She’s so good, and we don’t see each other as mother and daughter. Why can’t this kind of affection exist?”
He Yuan’s chest heaved rapidly as she recalled the scene she had just witnessed: He Ying almost lying on Shen Yu. Anyone who saw that would know something was amiss.
“Shen Yu?!” He Yuan still couldn’t believe what she had seen.
“She doesn’t know,” He Ying explained for Shen Yu, tugging at the hem of her tank top. “If she knew, would I need to dress like this to seduce her?”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
Seeing her like this, He Yuan suddenly found it hard to breathe. She covered her chest with her hand, closing her eyes as she thought: She must be here to punish me, to punish me for abandoning her all those years ago!
“How could you!” He Yuan spoke weakly. Knowing her daughter harbored such feelings for Shen Yu, she truly couldn’t accept it!
“Why can’t we?” He Ying’s eyes sparkled. “Can you find anyone better than Shen Yu?”
He Yuan took a deep breath. “You said it yourself, Shen Yu doesn’t know. This is all just your wishful thinking! Shen Yu will never accept you!”
He Ying smiled lightly and tilted her head. “She might not accept me now, but we have a long future ahead of us. I don’t rush for immediate results.”
As a spirit, she hadn’t even reached adulthood yet. Given Shen Yu’s rigid nature, she definitely wouldn’t accept her now. So, He Ying wanted to use this time to pave the way, letting Shen Yu get used to her. When she finally came of age, her chances of success would be higher.
He Yuan felt dizzy with anger. “Why, why must it be Shen Yu?!”
“Uh—” He Ying pondered for a moment, then smiled. “I can’t really say why, but I just know one thing for sure: I want to be with her, to have her in my long life.”
“If she isn’t there, what’s the point of a long life?”
He Yuan was at a loss for words. He Ying stepped forward to support her, sighing softly. “Mom, why can’t you just accept it? Wouldn’t it be nice to have Shen Yu as your daughter-in-law?”
He Yuan found herself involuntarily imagining what it would be like if Shen Yu became her daughter-in-law.
She quickly dismissed the thought. How could she let herself be led astray by He Ying!
“Mom, I still have a long way to go before reaching adulthood. There’s no need to worry so early,” He Ying said innocently. Anyway, nothing substantial could happen between her and Shen Yu now. Worrying this early was unnecessary—there were still decades ahead.
It’s not good to damage one’s health from anger.
He Yuan: “…”
Seeing her indifferent attitude, He Yuan was infuriated. He Ying clearly didn’t care whether others accepted her feelings for Shen Yu! Furious, she stormed off.
Seeing her leave, He Ying shrugged nonchalantly and turned back to find Shen Yu.
However, as soon as she stepped inside, she saw Shen Yu’s serious expression. When Shen Yu looked at her, her eyes were full of gravity, unlike her usual relaxed demeanor.
He Ying paused, then walked up naturally and said softly, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so serious?”
Shen Yu stared at her. Seeing her calm demeanor, Shen Yu frowned slightly.
Seeing Shen Yu remain silent, He Ying sat down next to her. Now that she was the same height as Shen Yu, she no longer needed to rely on her like a child. Instead, she began to exhibit the unique charm of a woman. Smiling, she asked, “You heard?”
On second thought, it made sense. Shen Yu was much stronger than her. Her barrier probably seemed as fragile as tofu to Shen Yu.
Shen Yu was silent for a moment, then said, “I didn’t mean to eavesdrop.”
She had just followed out of curiosity when she saw their strange expressions, unexpectedly overhearing the conversation.
He Ying widened her eyes slightly. Was this really about eavesdropping?
“Since you’ve heard, do you hate me?” He Ying stared at her. She wasn’t afraid of Shen Yu knowing her thoughts, but she feared Shen Yu hating her and leaving her.
Shen Yu’s frown deepened, and a trace of confusion appeared in her eyes. “Why would I hate you?”
Now it was He Ying who couldn’t keep up with her thinking. She frowned. “I like women, I like you. Doesn’t that make you feel anything?”
(If you're not reading on littlepandatranslations.com, it means this has been stolen)
She didn’t know Shen Yu was surprisingly open-minded.
“I’ve known you liked women for a long time,” Shen Yu said. Who was it that, at a young age, insisted that women smelled better than men and wanted the scholar to like the princess instead of being with some Li guy?
He Ying: “…Then what about me liking you?”
This time, Shen Yu was genuinely silent. She looked directly at He Ying and said seriously, “You can’t like me.”
“Why?” He Ying asked. Shen Yu’s calm demeanor had a soothing effect on her emotions.
“Because I don’t like you.”
“…”
The author has something to say:
Sorry, everyone. I miscalculated yesterday. I won’t be able to finish today. I’m sorry, sorry. I won’t promise an ending date unless I’m 100% certain again (covering mouth and crying).
To apologize for letting you down, I’ll write some extra chapters. You can also suggest what kind of extras you want. Currently, I’m thinking about:
- Parent-child variety show
- Post-apocalyptic scenario where the cub smashes a zombie’s head with one punch (tentative, afraid it can’t be finished in a few chapters)
- Ahem, some stuff I can only write after having some drinks.
