Placing her ear against the door, Shi Liao Liao carefully listened to the sounds outside, regretting why she hadn't grabbed her phone first.
She speculated in her mind about the person who took her clothes, and then heard footsteps outside.
The sound of leather shoes on the smooth marble floor made her realize it was not an urgent pace.
"Classmate?"
Shi Liao Liao's eyes lit up as she spoke again.
"Are you a person?"
"Or a ghost!!"
"What's wrong?"
A clear voice came through the door, surprising Shi Liao Liao.
"This voice? Yan Zi!!?"
"Young master?"
she tentatively called out.
"Hmm."
His tea-brown eyes scanned the compartments in front of him before settling on the last one and he walked over.
Shi Liao Liao couldn't help but marvel at her luck.
"Young master, someone just took my clothes. Could you have someone bring me a set of clothes?"
Shi Liao Liao briefly explained the situation.
At this, Lu Yanzhou's eyelids twitched.
"All of them?"
He looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.
She responded with a hint of frustration.
"The top, and that set... the dress."
It was as if she was saying that she wasn't wearing anything on her upper body at the moment.
Although he knew that her physical structure was similar to his, inexplicably, the thought of the young servant's fair and clean neck made his throat inexplicably warm.
["That brat better not get caught by me, otherwise I'll have to throw him into the cesspool to see who stinks worse!"]
Lan Yanzhou didn't respond for a while, and it made her heart skip a beat.
["I hope he doesn't find me annoying, although I am a bit troublesome... but Lan Yanzhou should have brought his phone, if not, I can ask to borrow it from him."]
Just as she was thinking, there were two knocks on the door in front of her.
Lan Yanzhou's voice, which had been somewhat distant before, was now closer, as if it was right next to her ear when he spoke.
"Open the door."
She instinctively gripped the door lock.
"Young master, I haven't flushed after using the toilet, it's unsightly."
Lan Yanzhou: "..."
He sighed, "Aren't you here to change clothes?"
She lied without missing a beat, "Just happened to need to use the toilet."
"Open it a crack."
This time his tone was not as gentle as before, with a hint of firmness, naturally revealing a sense of dominance.
"I won't look."
Lu Yanzhou added, "Reach out."
After a few seconds, there was a 'click' sound from the lock behind the door.
Then the tightly closed door slowly opened to reveal a crack.
Lu Yanzhou stood in front of the door, unmoving, as if he had no intention of entering as he had just said.
"Put this on first, wait here for me."
As he passed by her outstretched hand that hadn't been withdrawn, he didn't show any curiosity towards her, just calmly passing by in a white shirt.
After his footsteps gradually faded, she retracted her arm and locked the door again.
Lu Yanzhou's coat, still warm from his body heat, carried the scent she had smelled today.
It was warm, and she only realized how cold she had been after putting it on.
Shivering, she sniffed the faint fragrance that kept coming and going, and thought to herself, ["Yanzhou is really a good male lead."]
If the male lead was like this, she couldn't imagine how smart, beautiful, kind, and generous the female lead would be.
She hoped Lu Yanzhou would be worthy of her.
Lu Yanzhou's coat was very large, fitting him perfectly but oversized on her.
The bathroom was spacious, but she didn't dare to crouch or sit on the toilet.
She was afraid of dirtying Lu Yanzhou's clothes, so she just stood there, analyzing who might be plotting against her with Maru.
Lu yanzhou came back after a while.
He still knocked on the door in a very gentlemanly manner.
Shi Liao Liao's eyes lit up like a kindergarten kid waiting to be taken home.
"Young Master?"
"Yes."
"Just throw the clothes down to me from above."
Lu yanzhou probably asked her to open the door earlier because he didn't want to dirty his clothes, but this time it was Shi Leliao's own, and she didn't care about that.
Lu yanzhou reached up and handed the things over.
He was tall, so the action was easy for him, and Shi Liao Liao had to tiptoe to reach the bag in his hand.
"Thank you, Young Master. I'll return the coat to you after washing it."
She looked down at the contents of the bag.
It was a brand new maid outfit.
"Well, I'm going back."
Lu yanzhou's voice sounded a bit indifferent, and after handing over the things, he turned and left.
It was only then that Shi Liao Liao remembered that not long ago, she seemed to have been sitting on his lap asking for his underwear, and their relationship was in a very awkward period.
Maru couldn't help but say: [Come to think of it, it's better to have a male master. You disgusted him with a man's identity, and he still doesn't care about your life or death, giving you a coat and sending you clothes.]
Shi Liao Liao looked guilty.
She had previously wronged him for having feelings for her, thinking he was gay.
Now she realized that Luyanzhou's spine must be in bad shape from carrying so much blame.
[If the Lu family goes bankrupt in the future, and I, Shi Liao Liao, become successful, I will never forget Young Master Lu's kindness.]
"Adopt him as my foster son!"
"I'll still call him 'Young Master' then, and he'll call me 'Dad'."
Not far away, Lu yanzhou squatted down to tie his shoelaces: "..."
This affection is beyond words.
Just as Shi Liao Liao was fantasizing about the future scene of her and Luyanzhou being loving father and son, she took out the complete maid outfit, just about to change into it, but when she looked down—
It was a light and airy little dress, with a low neckline just enough to cover the chest, a very short skirt that only reached the thighs, with white stockings and black high heels inside, and a pair of cat ears.
If a beauty or a cross-dressing expert wears it, it would excite Shi Liao Liao like crazy.
But when Shi Liao Liao wore it herself.
Her female disguise was completely exposed.
Maru's eyes went straight.
Shi Liao Liao: "..."
She really wanted to call Luyanzhou back and ask:
Friend, are you trying to kill me?
Luyanzhou didn't personally bring the dress, but asked a staff member to do it.
The conservative styles had already been taken by other boys, and the only remaining ones were too revealing for anyone to choose.
Not knowing what kind of dress he sent, Lu yanzhou walked into the crowd, and amidst everyone's deference, he sat in the best position.
Everyone was waiting to take their 'maid' for the week.
Seeing that almost everyone was there, among the group of eye-catching 'maids', a fresh and extraordinary figure appeared.
In an instant, she captured everyone's attention—
Shi Liao Liao, dressed in janitorial overalls and old Beijing cloth shoes, appeared with a determined look on her face.
Amidst everyone's shocked expressions, she walked towards Luyanzhou in her simple old Beijing cloth shoes.
Finally, she stood in front of him, looking resolute as if she were about to join the party.
"Master, which restroom should I clean?"
