Creak — Ya —!
As the door of the washroom slowly opened, a gust of cold air drifted out at this time.
At the same time, a withered hand with finger bones that looked like branches suddenly reached out and grabbed the door.
Miss Maid took a step back and looked down at him.
The hand moved the door panel inwards little by little. In the dim light, a face that was almost buried under the cheek was slowly rising … with white hair.
Miss Maid could even clearly see the desperate look on the face.
"Oh, Miss Nero, are you all right?" Miss Maid asked softly.
"You … you try … for 20 days … only drink water … see …"
"It's my fault." Miss Maid was sincerely apologetic at this moment, "I'm really sorry. Please wait for a while, I'll prepare some food for you to recover your body right away."
Miss Maid finished and left in a hurry, as if she was eager to make up for her mistake.
Seeing this, Nero had to crawl out of the washroom bit by bit … Ordinary people could only drink water to maintain their hunger for seven or eight days, and they would have died long ago … She could hold on for so long because of her well-tempered body.
But even so, during this period, the pain Nero had to endure every day increased exponentially — the pain in her body had to be suppressed regularly with medicine. Without medicine, he could only endure it. This was already a huge burden on the body.
Furthermore, it was true that this body had been tempered thousands of times, but the more a body was tempered like this, the more it would consume a shocking amount of energy.
…
In the hall, Taisetsu put Taiyinzi, who was in a daze, on the ground — Since he was picked up by himself, Taiyinzi had been like this all the time.
At this time, he seemed to have accepted his fate. He leaned against the foot of the tea table and stared blankly at the old gramophone in the corner.
"Taisetsu … right?"
"Well, yes." Taisetsu nodded. He sat forward and asked, "Bro, what's the matter?"
Taiyinzi raised his paw and pointed to the old gramophone in the corner, "Inside the cabinet, count from the left, take out the ninth disc. It's heavy, and the extra one is specially hidden by me. Can you help me take it out and play it?"
"Uh … It should be no problem."
Taisetsu thought for a while. Neither the boss nor the servant girl seemed to have warned him not to touch the things here — Of course, Taisetsu didn't have the habit of touching things here.
He thought it should not be a big problem to play a song with the gramophone, so he agreed readily and asked curiously, "By the way, bro, why do you suddenly want to listen to songs?"
Taiyinzi looked at Taisetsu helplessly, and said in a low of vicissitudes of life, "I was a decent man when I was alive … It's not too much to ask for something I like before I die.... of death. The last meal of a condemned prisoner can be more sumptuous. "
"Bro, what have you done …" Taisetsu shook his head.
But he was the kind of person who would do what he promised, so he still walked towards the gramophone.
Taiyinzi sighed at this time, looking at Taisetsu squatting down to look for the record, "To tell you the truth, I was a decent man before. I was in charge of a big project of the club."
"Is it this one?" Taisetsu took out a vinyl disc according to Taiyinzi's words, and took out a record from the cover, "But there's only one? Didn't you say there was a folded one in there? "
Taiyinzi was startled, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just sighed and looked at Taisetsu, "My birthday is on the 17th day of the fourth lunar month. My favorite food is the osmanthus cake from Baifang Zhai in Luoyang, but now it's hard to find, so the osmanthus cake from the supermarket will do … Also, I don't know if there's such a thing in the basement, but it's best to burn a few boxes. By the way, remember to burn a copy of 'The Straw Hat King' when it's finished, but if the author says there's a new challenge waiting for him after the end, or something like that, then you don't have to burn it, just burn the author …"
Listening to Taiyinzi talking about things to take note of, Taisetsu became more and more curious about what this dignified Black Soul Envoy before him had done … Was it referring to what happened in the Penglai Treasure Vault?
At this time, some strange sounds came from the corridor. Taiyinzi was still talking endlessly, as if he had entered a deserted land, and did not care at all … Taisetsu looked curiously and saw a mummified woman wrapped in a bath towel crawling out of the corridor little by little.
Taisetsu vaguely remembered that this seemed to be the one who was locked in the bathroom before leaving?
Taisetsu looked at the current Nero, and then looked at the current appearance of Taiyinzi … At the same time, the image of Wang Hu covered in feces flashed through his mind, and he suddenly shuddered — he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the kitchen.
Almost without thinking, as if by instinct, Taisetsu stuffed the record into the envelope at the fastest speed, then quickly walked back to the sofa and sat upright.
A strong desire to survive even drove Taisetsu to show a stiff smile, "You Ye, Miss. Are you done?"
The maid opened the curtain and walked out at this time with a tray in her hand.
She looked at Taisetsu sitting upright at this time and felt a little strange, "Mr. Taisetsu, are you very hot?"
"Hot? No? Oh … maybe I just finished exercising? Didn't I just have a fight in the Penglai Treasure Vault … "Taisetsu subconsciously wiped his forehead … When did I sweat?
"There is ice water on the counter, fresh." The maid smiled slightly, "You will be fine after a rest."
Taisetsu nodded stiffly.
Later, the maid walked to Nero as if she didn't see Taiyinzi, and slowly put down a plate of food on the tray.
"Miss. Nero, this is the food I made for you carefully. It can supplement the nutrition you lack … So, please enjoy it."
A pot of hot and explosive mixture.
The maid left with the tray and walked toward the study.
Taisetsu glanced at the back of the maid who had left, and then looked at the food in front of Nero — Nero was still weak and shriveled on the ground, and the food was placed in front of her … on the floor.
He suddenly felt the malice from the maid, but at this time, Nero stuck out her tongue little by little toward the food on the plate.
Taisetsu widened his eyes, opened his mouth, and felt that his breathing seemed to be rapid.
Don't eat it!! Don't eat it!!
I will lose my dignity if I eat it!! Hold on!!
Finally, Nero licked the food on the plate and lost her dignity.
…
Knock, knock —!
There was a knock on the door.
When You Ye walked into the study, Luoqiu was squatting on the sofa in the corner, combing the hair on Luo Ya's face with gentle eyes.
Luo Ya was lying on the sofa at this time, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
"Master."
Luoqiu turned back and made a gesture of whispering.
The maid nodded, softly put down the tray and tea silently, and then came to Luoqiu's side.
"She must be very tired." The maid looked at the little girl's delicate face at this time, "Wait a minute, I will clean up a room."
Luoqiu nodded, and then took off his coat.
Seeing this, Miss Maid walked to the back and helped to take off the coat. Then, she covered Luo Ya with the coat.
"You can always guess what I want to do."
The maid looked back and smiled faintly.
Luoqiu waved his hand at Luo Ya. The air shook, and the entire sofa was covered by an invisible cover — Luoqiu then returned to the desk and sat down, "By the way, how is Miss Nero?"
"Nothing serious." The maid looked natural.
Luoqiu just nodded and didn't ask. He looked up at You Ye and suddenly said, "Calafar."
Beside the desk, the maid who was pouring flower tea for Luoqiu suddenly stopped. At the same time, the steaming tea was about to overflow.
It was not because the maid was absent-minded, but because she was still at this moment.
"Sure enough …"
Luoqiu's finger suddenly tapped on the table, and the falling tea also stopped — Luoqiu closed his eyes at this time.
In the club, everything seemed to become black and white. Taisetsu who was sitting upright also stopped. Nero, who was burying her face in the food, also didn't move. Taiyinzi still lowered his head and didn't move.
Luoqiu sighed softly, stood up and walked out of the study alone.
Soon after, he came to the lowest floor of the club and opened the door that only he could enter. Everything here was the same as the last time he left — Luoqiu walked to the altar.
At this time, the altar began to rise slowly, and the pillar inlaid with gold and silver cards gradually appeared. Luoqiu walked around the pillar twice.
He suddenly stopped, "This is actually not good, if there is no one who can talk to me."
It was dead silent here, only Luoqiu's voice sounded.
"Except freedom." Luoqiu looked at the altar in front of him and said expressionlessly, "I can do anything I like, right?"
…
The pillar on the altar slowly descended.
Luoqiu looked at it, took two steps back, then turned around and walked out of the room where the altar was, and returned to the study again.
The moment he sat down, everything returned to normal. The flower tea was still steaming, and the fragrance that could make people feel peaceful spread out. Luoqiu looked at You Ye's side face at this time … Finally, You Ye's wrist moved, and the teapot was set straight. A cup of flower tea that was 80% full was completed.
"I picked some fresh ones before I went out. Master, please have a taste." She took the teacup and walked to Luoqiu's side. She bent over and put down the teacup without any change on her face.
Luoqiu couldn't help but reach out his hand and touched You Ye's cheek … Miss Maid was stunned.
"Master?"
Miss Chambermaid turned round on this occasion.
Luoqiu was now in the embrace of Miss Maid, like a child who wanted to ask for something.
He put his ear on Miss Maid's body, as if he wanted to listen to something.
She didn't say anything, just closed her eyes, and gently held her master's head with her hands.
They hugged each other like this.
…
After a long time.
Luoqiu took a deep breath, letting go of You Ye, and said apologetically, "I seem to have forgotten myself."
"Master, what happened to you that made you unhappy?" You Ye shook her head. Her tolerance was completely above her etiquette … but she was tolerant to her master in front of her.
"I just …" Luoqiu seemed to return to normal. He looked at You Ye, and his eyes were different from before, "I just suddenly wanted to hug you, and thought that you wouldn't refuse me … Now it seems that I wasn't refused."
Miss Maid just took Luoqiu's hand and put it in front of her chest, and said softly, "You Ye only belongs to you."
"As long as I'm still the boss of this shop?" Luoqiu suddenly asked.
But Miss Maid said, "If … please take me away."
One day, one day, before the seed of love that was gushing out of my heart at this moment disappeared completely, I could really … fall in love with you.
"Stay with me for a while."
…
…
The pendulum clock on the wall swayed, and the ticking sound filled every place in the lobby.
When You Ye left, she took Luoya with her to decorate a new room for her.
Luoqiu walked out of the study room.
Nero had eaten all the food on the plate, and even licked it quickly. Now she was leaning against the counter, looking at the ceiling blankly, but her breath was better.
Taisetsu saw the boss come out, and he was about to greet him, but Luoqiu waved his hand to stop Taisetsu.
He came to Nero's side — Although she ate the food on the plate very cleanly, and there was no food residue on her face, there were still some grease stains left.
"I'm really sorry."
Along with Luo Qiu's voice, Nero's body was also recovering at an incredible speed. She returned to her previous state, no more, no less.
Her injuries were still there.
Luoqiu took out a handkerchief and personally wiped the grease on Nero's face, "In the next transaction, I will give Miss Nero a suitable discount … I'm sorry, I can only give such compensation."
Nero's eyelashes moved at this moment. After recovering, she looked at Luoqiu and suddenly said, "Boss, you are so good to me. Aren't you afraid that your servant girl will quietly erase me from all senses?"
"Miss Nero, you must be joking." Luoqiu smiled and said, "How can we do anything to hurt the customer … Even if we inadvertently cause losses, we will compensate immediately."
Nero smiled.
She reached out to Luoqiu's ear and whispered, "In order to survive, I can do anything."
"This is your personal freedom, Miss Nero."
"That's good." Nero narrowed her eyes at this time, "I still feel unsafe, so … from now on, I want to sell myself. I will sell myself, and then I will become your person. You can't refuse, right? The customer's request … Also, you said to give me a discount. "
…
Taiyinzi on the side suddenly moved at this time, looking at Nero pitifully … Does this silly girl think it's okay?
