"Welcome back, Master... Huh, what happened to your foot?"
Lin Shuang arrived home, opened the door, and saw the school beauty little maid, Tong Yao, greeting him at the entryway.
She had changed into the freshly laundered maid dress; a dryer is indeed a fabulous thing.
"Got bitten by a dog... Huh? What did you just call me?"
Lin Shuang hopped into the house on one foot, and Tong Yao quickly supported him, "If you didn't hear, never mind. How did you get bitten by a dog?"
She helped him sit down and leaned in to inspect his foot, "Did you get a rabies shot?"
Lin Shuang chuckled, "That shouldn't be necessary, it's a small dog that I've raised since it was a pup, it's not poisonous."
Tong Yao gave him a look, "I always feel like schoolmate Lin Shuang is talking about some weird stuff."
Her finger tapped her cheek while the large bow on her chest bobbed up and down, "So, do you want to eat first today, or take a bath?"
"Did you also learn this from a video?"
"Yes, indeed." Tong Yao's eyes smiled like crescent moons.
"Such a studious little maid you are. But, isn't there a third option? Were you eaten?"
The little maid nodded to herself and turned to walk into the kitchen, "So, would you like to have dinner first? I'll bring it over, please wait a moment."
"Don't pretend you didn't hear me, hey! Naughty Miss Maid!"
The naughty little maid had prepared congee with eight treasures and a few side dishes for dinner.
The congee was cooked before she went to class in the afternoon, and the side dishes had been quickly prepared upon her return.
Tong Yao had been managing household chores since she was a child and cared for her mother for several years; she was already adept at these tasks.
Lin Shuang took a satisfying sip of the hot congee, feeling nice and cozy.
Having something hot to eat as soon as he got home really did make the place feel like home.
Do you guys have such a little maid, I want to ask!
Little maid Tong Yao nibbled on the cucumber salad and then asked, "How's your foot, is it serious, do you need to see a doctor?"
Lin Shuang waved his hand, "Don't worry, it'll definitely be better by tomorrow morning."
It was just another severe step on by sheer black high heels.
Su Wan, that woman, has stepped on him countless times since they were kids, with such expertise.
She knows exactly how much force to use, to make it painful yet not cause any bone or muscle injury, almost like a well-memorized mathematical formula.
What can I say, that's childhood friends for you.
After dinner, little maid Tong Yao quickly and efficiently cleaned up the dishes and utensils.
Lin Shuang lounged on the sofa, turned on the TV, and connected the Switch.
Oh... no, it's Zelda, engage!
Dressed in a maid outfit, Tong Yao wandered around the living room, and Lin Shuang felt like she might be cosplaying a cleaning robot, roaming the house randomly.
"What are you doing, don't block my game."
Lin Shuang expressed his dissatisfaction with a wave of the controller.
"Wu... I was looking for some work to do."
Tong Yao finally stopped moving, hands pressed to her chest, looking at him with eager eyes.
Should I say it's commendable for a newbie to show such initiative?
"There's no work left, but you could make some, like with a look of disdain flipping up the skirt hem to reveal your bloomers or something..."
Lin Shuang manipulated his character in a battle of wits with monsters, occasionally turning his head to glance at his own little maid.
It was pleasing to the eye and seemed to make his controls even smoother.
If he could have a little maid with him, Lin Shuang was confident he could hold a round or two with Faker!
"Huh?" The little maid stared blankly with wide eyes, as if she hadn't understood what he said.
"So you see, this little maid of yours hasn't got the basics down at all, this is also a classic course required for maids!"
```
"...lift your skirt?" Tong Yao actually naively tried to lift her skirt a bit, revealing her perfectly curved calves wrapped in black stockings.
Lin Shuang was completely dumbstruck, the character he was controlling in the game got chopped to death by monsters.
The little maid, Tong Yao, kept lifting her skirt higher and higher, but eventually she put her hand down with a troubled expression, "No no, this is too weird..."
Damn it, he was so close to seeing it...
If it weren't for knowing that this little maid was both innocent and naive, Lin Shuang might have suspected that she was intentionally seducing him.
He laughed, "Don't worry, your work is going to increase, I aim to train you into the Perfect Maid."
Tong Yao tilted her head, looking at him, "Perfect Maid... What kind of skills do I need to learn for that?"
"Firstly, you need to lift your skirt with a look of disdain, revealing your panties..."
Lin Shuang began counting on his fingers as if it was a serious matter.
"Let's leave that out for now!"
"That's the entry level... Next, you need to pass the Combat Power check so you can punch the bad guys flying."
If she could pull out a Gatling gun from under her maid dress, now that would make him feel even safer...
"Punching the bad guys flying?"
Tong Yao stared at her soft, powdery fists, hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "I'll try my best."
Lin Shuang finally couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.
This little maid is just too adorable.
"Third... come sit over here." He waved her over, like teasing a naive kitten with a catnip toy.
"What for?" Tong Yao, holding her skirt, obediently took the bait and sat down next to him.
And then she was immediately captured by Lin Shuang's hands.
He gently pinched her cheeks, like kneading a beautifully shaped cloud in the clear sky - he subconsciously felt that clouds should have this kind of softness.
A youthfully invincible beauty, full of collagen.
"Ow... Is this also a mandatory course for the Perfect Maid..."
Tong Yao's tone was deformed from being pinched on the face.
Lin Shuang started to scratch her chin, today's quota of petting a cat.
"Yes, it is."
"Ow... are you not lying?"
"I'm honest to kids and adults alike."
The little maid cat was rubbed red-faced by the unscrupulous master, her neck flushed as well, before she weakly pushed him away.
"I'll go get a book to read..."
Since there was no work to do, Tong Yao decided to read books.
After all, she is the second-ranking student in her major, while the first is Lin Shuang.
She, too, is in the Chinese Language and Literature program at Huai City University, but hers is a teacher-training course, while Lin Shuang's is not.
The two majors have similar courses, and rankings are mixed together.
However, tuition is free for her teacher-training department, they will receive a teaching qualification certificate upon graduation, and will also be allocated a teaching position in a school.
Lin Shuang's non-teacher-training department, on the other hand, tends towards cultivating scriptwriters, copywriters, and literary researchers.
One can only say the dream is beautiful, but in reality, most students end up opting for government exams after graduation.
It is relatively easier for Chinese Language majors to pass government exams.
That evening, Lin Shuang spent all his time cheerfully playing games.
While the little maid, Tong Yao, sat quietly next to him reading a book, occasionally pouring him a glass of water.
Finally finishing the day's progress, Lin Shuang turned off the TV and turned around only to see the little maid resting her chin in her hands, unblinkingly watching him.
"Finished playing?" She asked with a soft voice and a smile, "Then it's time to say goodnight, Master."
