Fourth Master sat steadily, emitting a grunt of acknowledgment.
He seemed quite at ease, waiting for Ye Zao to plead with him.
Ye Zao found it amusing inside, but her face showed reluctance, "Then... may your servant stay a bit longer? I know that Master must be busy, but I... can't bear to leave Master."
Fourth Master raised an eyebrow, "Lady Ye, do you know the rules?" Such words of affection, are they to be spoken so casually?
Ye Zao bit her lip, then lowered her head, "Understood."
She looked indescribably aggrieved and pitiful.
Fourth Master was teased by her once more, pretending to be serious, "Lady Ye, do you have anything else?"
Ye Zao lifted her head, "Your servant... has nothing more, it's just... Master..."
She called out, then slowly shifted closer.
Fourth Master thought she must be coming to beg for a favor. He even contemplated making things a bit difficult for her.
