The summer afternoon was the hottest time of the day.
The scorching sunlight poured down cruelly, making the entire ground so hot that it was impossible to stand barefoot.
There was no wind today, so standing outside for a while made one feel like the scorching sun was above their heads. The skin exposed outside was so hot that it made one feel anxious.
Gu Shishi's small face was red, and the tip of her nose and forehead were constantly sweating.
At first, she was still wearing a mask when she was cleaning the living room, but when she came outside, the mask was wet from the dripping sweat, so she simply took it off.
"Miss Gu, not only do you need to water, but you also need to clean the weeds."
A slightly chubby maid with some freckles on her face was in front of her with her hands on her waist as she commanded.
This maid's expression looked serious, but there was some uncontrollable surprise and a sense of superiority.
How could they, who worked as housekeepers, have the chance to order a rich young lady around?!
But today, she, Shi Li, had such an opportunity!
Even though she heard that this young master's fiancée was a girl who grew up in an ordinary family and had only been a rich young lady for a few days, this opportunity to watch her work still made Shi Li feel excited.
Standing under such a scorching sun and sweating profusely with this rich young lady, Shi Li didn't feel tired at all.
"These weeds have to be pulled out personally one by one."
"If you use scissors, it's easy to damage the branches and leaves of the flowers. You have to use your hands. I usually do this."
Who could torment a rich young lady like her, pulling out the weeds one by one?
After Shi Li finished speaking, there was a hint of joy on her face.
"Okay, Sister Shi."
Gu Shishi wiped the sweat on her forehead, but her lips couldn't hide the smile on her face.
After pulling out the weeds, she looked at the system interface for a while.
[Received favorability from Si Yi and Butler Lin. 'Others Approval' has risen to level 1!]
[Current Host Level: level 1, Fiancée in Imminent Danger.]
[Others Approval: level 1]
[Male Master's Favor: level 1]
[Total Life Limit: 5 days.]
[Current Life Balance: 71 hours, 14 minutes, 24 seconds.]
How wonderful ~
She didn't expect that doing housework would increase the favorability of the butler and Si Yi.
It was simpler than she thought!
Next, she could live for five days!
Gu Shishi thought about it and her face was full of smiles.
But the system was so stingy. The second level only had an upper limit of five days?!
"Hurry up, Miss Gu! Usually, I can finish it in an hour! "
Shi Li was even more aggressive.
Perhaps she realized that her tone was wrong, so she quickly added another sentence.
"The butler instructed me to keep an eye on you!"
"En, en! I know! Sister Shi, why don't you take a seat? I'll speed up! "
Gu Shishi smiled sweetly and her eyes sparkled.
Without gloves, she dug up the grass with her bare hands.
Many of the flower beds were still a little short, so she had to kneel on the ground and bend over to deal with the weeds in the depths of the flower beds.
She wanted to collect favorable impression points for the next stage!
He wondered if Shi Li would give it to him!
At this moment, Huo Sishen was standing in the shadows at the entrance of the entryway. He squinted his eyes as he looked at the garden.
The girl's black hair was all wrapped up in the hat, with only a few strands of hair coming out, drooping over her tender and translucent little face.
From afar, he could see the excitement on her little face.
It was as if what she was cleaning was not a flower bed, but a beautiful piece of art.
Kneeling on the ground, she would look up from time to time and seriously examine the blooming petals and branches in front of her. Every time, she would ponder for a while before she smiled and plucked the weeds and trimmed the flowers.
After being fiddled with by her, the branches and leaves in this flower bed seemed to have become more orderly.
She really wasn't crying.
She was quite happy … Indeed, she wanted her salary?
Huo Sishen pursed his thin lips and frowned.
Under the sunlight, the girl's pink lips had become a little dry after being busy for the whole afternoon. The wrinkles on her lips were also a little deeper.
Her fair cheeks were already flushed red, just like rose petals that were dyed pink.
Sweat slowly dripped down from her wet forehead, making her watery eyes look even clearer. It was as if they had merged with the dazzling sunlight above her head.
"Miss Gu, I told you not to use scissors!"
Not long after, Shi Li rudely called out!
This shout immediately disrupted her pleasing actions.
"Ah, ah, I'm sorry! I just wanted to trim the flowers to make the flower buds more nutritious and make them look more beautiful. "
Gu Shishi hurriedly looked up and explained.
"It's none of your business whether it looks good or not! There's a gardener, you just need to remove the weeds! Didn't the butler write it down for you? "
Shi Li's voice was not soft.
"Oh, right, I'm sorry."
The girl's voice sounded a little regretful.
Huo Sishen furrowed his eyebrows.
"Young Master, the car is here."
Si Yi, who was beside him, opened the door of the car that was parked at the entrance of the hall.
Huo Sishen lowered his eyes, but his tall figure did not move.
After a long while, he responded, "Okay."
After Si Yi finished speaking, he realized that his boss had not even moved.
She followed his displeased gaze and saw two figures in the garden.
Miss Gu?
"Who's that?"
Huo Sishen's thin lips moved.
"Uh … You're asking about Shi Li from the gardening department?"
Si Yi naturally knew everyone in the villa like the back of his hand.
"She's greasy, slovenly, and loud."
Huo Sishen narrowed his eyes.
Si Yi's heart skipped a beat. He looked at her sympathetically.
"Okay, I'll get the butler to deal with it."
If she was not fired, she would be fined her salary.
But … if she worked under the sun, wouldn't she sweat and ruin her makeup?
Si Yi shook his head inwardly.
However, just as he was about to look away, he saw Miss Gu beside him. Her cheeks were pink, but there was not a single trace of grease on her face. Even when she perspired, it was clear and natural.
What a huge difference!
Huo Sishen nodded when he heard Si Yi's reply. He strode into the car.
The interior of the car was air-conditioned, so they did not feel the scorching temperature outside at all.
The car made a turn and quickly drove along the small paths in the garden on both sides of the road toward the main entrance.
When they passed by the flower beds, they could clearly see the girl lying on the ground. She was sweating profusely, and her long eyelashes were damp with sweat. They looked like butterflies fluttering.
Through the car window, Huo Sishen's eyes darkened.
Si Yi was in the front passenger seat. He turned around and asked, "Young Master, are we going directly to the office?"
Huo Sishen sat upright, but his gaze was fixed outside the window.
"What's the temperature today?"
"Hmm?"
Why did they change the topic?
Si Yi looked at his phone blankly.
"It's 36 degrees now. They'll say it's going to be 38 degrees later."
Huo Sishen pursed his lips. The image of the little face flushed from the heat suddenly appeared in his mind.
"It's a holiday."
Si Yi quickly turned around. "What?"
"All the workers in the villa are on holiday today."
Huo Sishen looked away from the window and picked up the document beside him expressionlessly.
"Your salary will remain the same."
Si Yi turned his head back again.
After a long time, he finally found his voice. "Okay …"
He had worked for Huo Shaoheng for seven years. This was the first time he knew about holidays.
Too hot?
Young Master must be in a good mood after sleeping for two hours today!
"It's a holiday?"
Gu Shishi received the news very quickly.
Butler Lin personally came to inform her.
"Yes, the weather is too hot. Everyone is resting for half a day. Miss Gu, you should go back to your room too. "
Gu Shishi blinked her watery eyes.
She looked at the half-finished flower bed with some regret.
The Chinese roses here were very colorful. There were many rare flowers that were difficult to see outside.
She had originally wanted to trim them into a beautiful shape and make them beautiful.
"Okay, then I'll do it another day."
Butler Lin nodded.
However, after taking two steps, Gu Shishi stopped.
"When the flower bed restarts, be sure to call me."
"Please, please don't be shy."
Doing housework could also prolong her life!
These used rags, masks, and gloves could all be recharged!
Moreover, she now saw that the 'approval of others' upgrade bar was already at 5%.
This meant that doing housework could also gain everyone's favor!
Oh, please boss, you must order me around. You must!
A trace of shock flashed across Butler Lin's face, but he could only nod awkwardly under her expectant gaze.
Seeing that he had agreed, Gu Shishi got up and left with satisfaction.
Before she left, she did not forget to thank Shi Li, who had guided her just now.
However, after she left, Shi Li was quickly stopped by the stern butler.
"Your salary will be deducted for half a month."
"Why?!"
Shi Li was in disbelief.
Butler Lin looked into the villa. "There is only one rule here. Talk less and do more. "
Shi Li's face instantly turned pale.
Just now …
Gu Shishi, who had just returned to her room, was also pale.
She went back to change out of her sweaty clothes and took a shower. Then, she lay comfortably on the sofa, swinging her legs and drinking iced milk.
She was happily admiring the health bar that had just exceeded three days and the 'approval of Shi Li has increased' that was displayed by the system just now.
However, it was only a minute before she cried out miserably at the WeChat message that she had just received on her phone screen.
[Xiaomei: I'll bring you a cake that I made tomorrow. You don't have to buy breakfast. After the trial period ends in the morning, let's go to the new western restaurant for lunch!]
Ling Xiaomei was the original female lead's colleague. As they were about the same age, they often ate together.
However …
"Eh! My three life-prolonging meals are gone tomorrow? "
Gu Shishi finally realized the blind spot in her thinking for the past two days!
She had been misled by the countdown to her death and had completely forgotten about going to work!
These two days were the weekend, so she was on break. That was why she could wander around the villa.
Normally, the original female lead would be an assistant teacher at the art studio in the downtown mall.
Work lunches were all eaten outside.
The art studio often had night classes that were specifically targeted at office workers. Even her dinner had to be eaten in the mall.
"Ah … the life-prolonging meals can only be eaten during my rest days?!"
A meal that could last five to six hours!
Gu Shishi held her phone and her heart was filled with tears.
She did not care about the trial period anymore!
The most important thing was — boss … save me!
