Chapter 1: Angels on One Side, Satan on the Other 03
Just as I was staring at Duanmu Jichu, who was treating me like a teddy bear, with eyes like a dog seeing a meat bun, the car stopped. The old man got out first and whispered to someone outside the car for a while, then the door next to me was opened , and a row of maids in uniform stood outside the car in an orderly manner. The four men who had carried me came over and carried Duanmu Jichu and me out again, just like at the beginning.
I was carried like a box, and the maids stared at me all the way. I was already embarrassed, and I could vaguely hear their whispers:
"The young master's sleeping sickness has come back again..."
"I heard that he was negotiating a contract in the hotel and then suddenly disappeared. Later, the housekeeper found him in the alley behind the hotel."
"Luckily I didn't hold anything weird this time."
"That's right. Even though she's a dirty girl, it's better than the last time I slept for three hours hugging a trash can!"
"Yes, and there was another time when I had an attack at a dinner party, while I was holding a roast suckling pig..."
…
Uh, it turns out that Hug Bear is just my own beautiful fantasy. My actual function is only equivalent to a trash can and roast suckling pig...
All the way, under the gazes that were like they were being stared at a roast suckling pig, Duanmu Jichu and I were finally moved into the room. Then all the servants left, leaving only the old housekeeper standing at the door, waiting for Duanmu Jichu to wake up.
He continued to act as a cuddly bear on the oversized pure white bed, and looked around Duanmu Jichu's room.
This is a room that is four or five times bigger than my room. The main colors of the room are white and blue, a typical Mediterranean style. There is a gorgeous crystal chandelier, a Mediterranean-style fireplace on one wall, and an exquisite anchor . The glittering anchor reflects the light of the crystal lamp and shines into my eyes. I suddenly have an illusion: there is a small wooden house on the blue sea, firewood is burning warmly in the fireplace, and Duanmu Jichu and I lie on the floor next to the fireplace, hugging each other and falling asleep listening to the sound of the waves.
Ah...wait a minute, why do I have such a weird idea?
I don't know why, but when this thought came out, even I was shocked, and then I desperately denied it in my heart. Yes, I admire him very much, but to have any relationship with him... well, it's impossible to imagine it, or it's absolutely impossible. Well, that's right, we are from two different worlds, even if all the parallel lines in the world intersect, there is no way we can have any relationship, that's right, that's it!
I couldn't help but blush as I thought about this. I lowered my head and looked at Duanmu Jichu's beautiful sleeping face, and I couldn't help but frown. I really don't understand why this guy, who is envied by so many people, has so many halos, and seems to be always high and mighty, would have such a problem as sleeping sickness.
"Miss, what's your name?" I don't know how much time had passed, or how long I had been lying in bed in a daze, when the old man walked to the bed, pushed up his glasses and asked me , "What's your home address? I'll mail the money to your home."
Mail it to my house? You must be kidding. If I mail it there, my mom will definitely intercept it. How can it reach me? Absolutely not.
So I shook my head desperately, forced a cute smile, and quickly made up a lie in my head: "Uncle, can you just give me cash? To be honest, my family is very poor, my father died very early, and I wandered around this city with my mother, making a living by delivering takeout to various restaurants. I don't have a fixed residence at all. And I have a very young brother at home, waiting for me to take money back to buy milk powder for him to drink, so I must have cash, please, uncle!"
"Is that so? I'll go get ready. Judging from the time, the young master should be waking up soon." The old man raised his wrist and checked the time. "It's 9:34 now. I need to get ready..."
"From 5:50 to 9:34, a total of 3 hours and 44 minutes, 163.56 yuan per hour, 2.63 yuan per minute, rounded to 611.5 yuan..." I have been helping my mother run a snack stand for many years, so I habitually calculate numbers in my mind. I don't know when the old man had a calculator in his hand, but I had already reported the result before he finished typing all the numbers, "Of course, this is the current amount. The specific amount will have to wait until Master Duanmu wakes up, haha..."
The old housekeeper looked at the calculator in his hand and then looked up at me. He punched in the numbers again in disbelief, and then said to me in amazement: "That's absolutely right, Miss. You have a strong ability to do fast calculations."
Fast calculation? What fast calculation? This is an instinct I developed from helping my mother calculate the prices of vegetables at the snack stand every day. In my mother's words, I will defend every penny of the Ye family to the death. Fist!
That's right, in addition to her amazing whirlwind kick, my mom is also a hundred times stingier than the average person. After all the hard work I went through to get into Aurora College, she only made me a bowl of noodles with soybean paste as a reward. The ice cream phone I dreamed of could only continue to exist in my dreams, and all the students in Aurora College had phones, so I became an outlier.
"Ye Ye, I'm sorry, it's not that we didn't notify you, it's that we didn't know how to notify you, and you don't have a cell phone."
"Yeah, so since Natsukusa-san is treating us to dinner, we have no choice but to take your place and eat your portion as well."
"Yesterday's social gathering was really fun. It's a pity that you didn't come. But you can't blame me as the director for not notifying you. You don't have a cell phone..."
…
Anyway, since entering Aurora College, I have never participated in any group activities. The reason is that I don’t have a mobile phone and the organizers of the activities have no way to notify me.
Humph! But this matter will soon be a thing of the past. The money I get from the old man, plus the pocket money I have saved for a year, should be enough to buy that ice cream phone. Hehe, Master Duanmu had better wake up a few hours later, so that I can buy the ice cream phone and the same model MP4 together, haha, perfect!
Thinking of this, I smiled and waved to the old housekeeper who was about to go out to prepare the cash, and said, "Don't be busy yet, old man, it seems that Master Duanmu needs to sleep a little longer. It will be more convenient to count the money together later..."
