Lu Yanzhou, who also saw Gu Xuezhou, raised an eyebrow slightly.
He extended a finger to block the oncoming Bai Liye, then pushed Yang Qingzhou towards her to intercept, before turning to look at Shi Liao Liao.
His lips, devoid of any curvature resembling a smile, formed words without mercy.
"If you don't like her, I'll make her leave."
Shi Liao Liao was so irritated by Lu Yanzhou's domineering tone that she got goosebumps.
"No need, Young Master, I don't dislike her."
Maru reminded: [We still need to ask her how she knew you were a girl]
Shi Liao Liao could tell from experience, but what about Gu Xuezhou? How did he know?
Lu Yanzhou nodded, choosing to respect her opinion.
After Shi Liao Liao turned away, she naturally picked up her phone and sent a message.
Most of the people who saw the message had subtle expressions on their faces, but they quickly returned to normal and resumed their conversations.
The only change was that the high-level student who came with Gu Xuezhou was inexplicably ignored and no one spoke to him.
Amidst the surging emotions in the shadows, Shi Liao Liao didn't notice as she was too busy watching Bai Liye.
Even after boarding the Yang family's private plane, Shi Liao Liao's gaze never left her.
Bai Liye had suddenly quieted down since earlier, standing straight with a slightly flushed face.
Lu Yanzhou, who was playing cards with everyone, seemed to have eyes on the back of his head.
"Don't bother looking, Miss Bai doesn't have any money on her face."
The others laughed.
Shi Liao Liao suddenly realized that he was referring to her.
"Oh..."
She felt a bit embarrassed and withdrew her gaze.
Lu Yanzhou called the flight attendant over.
"Please give her a cup of hot milk."
Xi Yan joked, "Are you bringing a butler with you? Did you bring your son with you, Yanzhou?"
Lu Yanzhou glanced at him, and Xi Yan fearlessly laughed, with others joining in the teasing.
The flight attendant glanced over at Shi Liao Liao, smiled gently, and walked over to ask softly, "Little brother, do you want sugar in your milk?"
Shi Liao Liao looked at the beautiful flight attendant, feeling a bit mesmerized. "Um, thank you."
Bai Liye was not pleased.
She walked over and sat down next to Shi Liao Liao, asking casually, "What were you looking at just now?"
As Shi Liao Liao waited for her hot milk, she casually replied, "I was admiring Miss Bai's elegance."
Bai Liye tossed her hair. "Of course."
The fragrant and smooth hair swayed in front of her eyes, and she suddenly felt a bit envious.
"I wish I could have long hair too."
Lu Yanzhou paused for a moment.
"The young butler has very soft hair and good hair quality. It would be nice to let it grow long. I should start carrying a hair tie with me and help him tie his hair when we eat."
"I really want to wear high heels too."
Lu Yanzhou: "..."
Sure... in the future, you won't need a stick to poke someone's butt, just take off your shoes.
"Hello, can I have a glass of water?"
In the corner that everyone subconsciously forgot, Gu Xuezhou, who had been unnoticed, suddenly spoke.
As Shi Liao Liao took the milk handed over by the flight attendant, she looked over in the direction of the voice.
Gu Xuezhou didn't sit down but stood there.
Her men's clothing looked a bit old and was oversized, making her look dispirited.
Bai Liye rolled her eyes and turned to Shi Leliao, saying, "Have you seen a counterexample? Let me teach you a trick. The best way to improve your demeanor is to start with the details of your speech."
Shi Liao Liao humbly asked, "For example?"
"Replace all the classifiers with 'paragraph'."
"For example: I just drank a cup of tea."
Shi Liao Liao seemed to have an epiphany.
"I understand."
Bai Liye nodded in satisfaction, feeling like a good teacher.
"Give it a try."
Shi Liao Liao thought for a moment.
"Young Master Yang just took a 'paragraph' poop."
There was a collective silence in the card room for a moment.
Yang Qingzhou's neck turned red.
"This is a normal human need! What's wrong with me taking a poop!? Don't you guys do it too!?"
Lu Yanzhou calmly threw the cards.
"No one has your level of elegance when taking a poop," he said.
Xi Yan bent over laughing, unable to stand his own crappy sense of humor. Others joined in the laughter.
The instigator, Shi Liao Liao, calmly took a sip of milk.
Gu Xuezhou, standing in the corner, watched the scene with an inscrutable expression.
Here we go again.
Shi Liao Liao could earn Lu Yanzhou's favor just by showing her face and could sit there.
But what about me?
I've worked so hard to get close to you, but you won't even look at me.
I worked so hard to get into St. Dunstan's, stood in this position just for you, why won't you look at me?
They called it a farmhouse inn, but it was actually a manor built by the Yang family in the mountains, with a tranquil environment and dense vegetation, and complete entertainment facilities such as banquet halls and mahjong rooms.
But even in such a large place—
"Not enough rooms?"
Yang Qingzhou exclaimed.
The manager awkwardly said, "Young Master, there was a burst water pipe recently, so several rooms are under repair."
"Right now, only thirteen rooms are available."
Thirteen rooms for fourteen people.
This meant two people would have to share a room.
Xi Yan, with a nonchalant expression, raised his eyebrows and looked towards Lu Yanzhou, who was gazing off somewhere.
When Lu Yanzhou noticed his gaze, he calmly returned it.
Young Master Lu had always appeared magnanimous, but in reality, he was difficult to serve and couldn't tolerate anything annoying around him.
She had thought Lu Yanzhou had let Gu Xuezhou and the person who brought her go because of a word from the young butler.
Now it seemed that he already knew about the room situation and had them come to make up the numbers!
Sure enough, the next moment, Lu Yanzhou spoke.
"I'll share a room with Shi Liao Liao."
Everyone turned their heads simultaneously.
Xi Yan silently applauded.
Impressive.
Who says love makes people numb?
Lu Yanzhou had eight hundred tricks up his sleeve, not one less.
Shi Liao Liao: ???
[What's going on? How did we end up sharing a room??]
Shi Liao Liao looked around in confusion, her eyes landing on the fat fish in the fish tank.
Gu Xuezhou's face turned pale, and she blurted out, "No way!"
Others:?
What's it got to do with you?
Lu Yanzhou slowly cast a glance, his warm, tea-brown eyes exuding a silent sense of oppression.
But the most surprising thing was that Gu Xuezhou didn't flinch at all.
In the midst of everyone's astonishment, she walked less agilely to Shi Liao Liao's side and firmly said, "I'll share with her."
Almost everyone knew about the conflict between Shi Liao Liao and Gu Xuezhou.
But strangely enough, Shi Liao Liao didn't react, allowing Gu Xuezhou to grab her sleeve.
The smile on Lu Yanzhou's face completely disappeared.
"Shi Liao Liao, it's your choice."
Young Master Lu's tone was forgiving, but his eyes were heavy.
The usually adaptable young butler did not immediately respond to her young master this time.
Instead, he lowered his gaze and said softly, "Master, I'll sleep with her."
Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Yanzhou turned and left.
Evidently, Young Master Lu was angry because Shi Liao Liao didn't choose him.
And Shi Liao Liao's first thought was:
[It's a good thing that potted plant didn't come, or else I'd be locked in the restroom again]
