Sigh.
Bai Huang Looks at the pale clean faced maid kneeling in front of him.
"Next time, dont steal. Just hurry back to the main house."
"I cant. They dont like me there."
'And Its very much easier to die there than here.' Is what she thinks inside.
Sigh.
Bai Huang rubs his temple.
His Fever is getting more troublesome.
"Young Master Bai, Are you sick? Your face is red but your lips are pale."
"Its nothing. Just a fever."
"Can you eat?"
"....Give it to me."
Bai Huang eyes widen after tasting the poridge.
"Eh? I didnt poison that..." Shu Lan blinks. The status says it's edible so why does he looks weird?
"Um..Sorry. Its just...This is the first time I eat rice again after so many years."
"Uh..." Shu Lan looks down. This boy really experience hell, huh.
Its just a background story so she rarely look at it and just skip the details. But this young man really suffers inhumanity from his own relatives.
Sniff.. Sniff..
Bai Huang is really hungry but he didnt wolf down the food instead he is eating it elegantly.
He hear the disturbing sound, stops eating and look at the foolish maid who is weeping so many tears.
"What is wrong? Are you injured?" He frowns.
"Young master, how can they treat you like this?I am a servant and I have no right to complain but you are the first birn son and the first Wife's son."
"Silly Girl....Are you still hungry?"
Shu Lan shakes her head.
"Young Master, from now on I will serve you hot rice to fill you everyday."
"I told you not to steal."
"I didnt steal it."
"Where did It came from then?"
"From a very kind person?"
"Make a more believable lie." He looks away and continue eating. After the meal he didnt ask for more and told Shu Lan to eat it later.
***
Shu Lan is cleaning her room but it really is dirty.
And she doesnt want to sleep in it.
"Maybe its better to sleep on the kitchen. I prefer to die in coldness of the stone floor than to die from bacteria and instect bites!" she hurried and made a make shift bed from her clothes.
Then she heard a soft moan coming from Young Master Bai's room.
"Ha..Is he....M*sturb*ting?" A naughty smile appear in her lips and try ignoring the disturbing moans.
But it didnt stop.
"Young Master Bai...You have too much of energy." She frowns and block her ears.
But its still there.
"Wait! He said he has a fever!"
Cause of her 'green' mind she forgot to consider that maybe he is sick or having a nightmare and jump from thinking 'you know what'.
"Young Master Bai! Are you alright?" After rudely entering. She finds Huang red and sweating and rolling in the bed with pained expression.
'Sh*t! He looks sexy.'
'Eat or not to Eat? ---Kidding! What to do? He looks dehydrated!'
She clicks her Medicine Panel List.
There is something for Fever.
The pill name is so obvious it hurts her eyes.
Fever Pill >>Small Effect.It relieves Pain instantly and gradually heal the body from fever after 5 hours.
Shu Lan takes Fever Pill and 5 Water bottles without caring for the price.
After feeding the pill to Bai Huang and making him drink alot of water she boils some water innthe kitchen and wipe Bai Huang's body.
Ofcourse she turn ofd her sexual harrassment tendencies and focus on the job.
She cant find any extra clothes ans so she exchange the eye catching Male outfit in her gift box. After looking at it. It is not suitable for the young Master cause the cloth is for larger build. She cursed the system for not conveniently making it for Bai's size.
She has no choice and just let him wear it for now making alot of knots so the clothing will fit him.
She went outside and wash his clothes.
Sighing.
She barely appraise it but it has a multi barier effect-the outfit she exchange for her gift.
Sigh. Its fine. She is a maid. If she takes the female outfit, its tok much for her status and she might get accused of stealing just like what happen in the rice.
And the clothes suits the young master. He is really a handsome guy.
Someday he will become so strong everyone will envy and worship him.
He will get back at the Bai Clan and kill all his enemies along the way. It sounds brutal but those bastards deserves it.
Yawn.
Shu Lan feels sleepy but she has to look after the young master.
She climbs to the bed and squeeze herself with him.
He is sick anyway so he wont find out if she just woke up earlier than him right?
Bai Huang opens his eyes.
The heat from the sun ray is making his face hot. He wants to sit up but there is something pressing him down.
He almost shout when he see a horrible sight of a woman who is sleeping soundly while her body is pressing to him.
He blushes and pushes her away.
The bed is small so she falls down.
"Aroo..." Shu Lan doesnt kniw where she was and looks around.
Up, she saw the blushing Young Master.
Realize she made a blunder she kneeled automatically.
"What are you doing?" He asks shaking. He doesnt know if he is mad or shy.
"Im sorry, Young Master."
"Are you Molesting me?"
Eyes Widen
"No!" -- 'But I almost did.'
"Then what are you doing sleeping on your Master's bed?"
"s..Sleeping?"
"....."
"Young Master, you have to listen to me. I am very sorry. I am tired after looking after you. Your bed is soft and it smells nice. I am juat tempted one moment and I havent notice I already sound asleep."
She refuses to look up and continue kneeling with her forehead on the floor.
"You...Take care of me?"
"I did!"
Bai Huang looks at his hand and then at the elegant red silk cloth in his body.
"This?"
"I...I wash your clothes. I cant find another pair so I ..."
"You steal again?"
"No!"
"You...What is your name again?"
"Im Shu Lan, Young Master Bai."
"Shu Lan, Please stop stealing people's belonging."
"But that is mine..."
"This is silk! A fine quality one. Not even The Master has this fine clothing. How can you have one?"
"Uhmm...."
"Get me back my clothes. And you put this on the fire to hide the evidence."
"Put in the--"
"Dont you understand? Im saving your life!"
"Young Master, I swear to God that this is mine. I own this and I want to give it to you."
"Stop. Fetch me my clothes."
"Urggh."
Why would I burn this? I wont even throw it away. I just hide it in my Inventory Panel. Even a God of thieves wont be able to steal it from me now.
I look around and then I toss the clothes inside the Inventory. Later on, We will need that clothing for Young Master's journey to the Divine Immortal Sect.
"Young Master, I brought your clothes."
"Thank You."
"I will just go to the forest to find us food. Wait for me Okay."
"You dont need to. I will go myself."
"No need. Young Master is sick last night. I can handle this much."
"You! I am okay now. Why would you treat me like Im invalid?"
"No.No.I wouldnt dare. But Young Master this is a servant's job. I can handle this."
"There's alot of demonic beast in the forest. Let's not mention demonic beast, a wild animal can kill you!"
"Young Master, are you worried about me?"
"Wha--Im just concerned if the Beast's stomach will be upset because of you."
"Hehe. Though you are blushing I wont tease you. I will go now."
"Listen to me!"
But Shu Lan is already on the door.
Bai Huang hide his burning face on his sleeves.
"Foolish Girl."
