Chapter 51: The st Day of Feeding the Boss Water

The morning light is dim.

When Ji Shuchen woke up slowly, the sunlight shone gently on his face through the gauze curtain.

A soft and warm little ball was pressed against his body, the furry head pressed against the crook of his neck, long hair brushing across his collarbone.

It brings up a subtle itchy feeling.

Ji Shuchen carefully wrapped the girl's small hand on his chest and gently stroked it.

From fingertips to finger bases, the palm with thin calluses slowly clasps with it.

My heart is beating like a drum and I am extremely restless.

I want to get closer and closer to the girl, even though it is not a gentlemanly thing to do.

Ji Shuchen's Adam's apple rolled up and down. He lowered his eyes and pulled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery, but in the end he could not resist the desire in his heart.

Place a light kiss on Guaiguai's fingertips.

Listening to the gentle breathing beside him, Ji Shuchen quietly enjoyed a moment of peace before quietly getting up.

As soon as I went downstairs, I was met with the teasing eyes of Uncle Yu and Aunt Liu.

They have great confidence in the young master's character and know that he would not do anything out of line, right?

It's always a bit exciting to see the iron tree bloom.

Butler Yu raised an eyebrow at Aunt Liu: Look at how happy the young master is!

Aunt Liu smiled and nodded: Let's take a look in advance to see which wedding companies are the best in the industry and set some auspicious dates like 520 and Valentine's Day first.

Butler Yu gave a thumbs up in agreement.

Ji Shuchen saw this eye-to-eye drama at the stairs and said helplessly: "You two old people, stop imagining. When Zhizhi wakes up, don't say anything nonsense in front of her."

Butler Yu and Aunt Liu looked at each other and nodded.

Of course I can't say anything in front of a little girl, he's my young master...

Hey.

"By the way, Master, did Zhizhi have a fever again last night?"

Ji Shuchen took a sip of milk and shook his head: "No, Doctor Zhang said she got frightened and ate too much cold food, and she was too worried on weekdays."

Aunt Liu frowned, picked up the coffee beside her and put it down again: "I thought she was just frightened, and I let her eat a lot of ice cream that day."

"You are just a little girl, why do you have to worry so much?"

Ji Shuchen pushed the candy jar over to her soothingly: "I took her to perform a play and plant flowers yesterday, which can be considered as a distraction."

"Uncle Yu and Aunt Liu, Zhizhi needs you to help take care of her. It would be best if she doesn't have time to think too much."

Butler Yu snatched the coffee that Aunt Liu had added several sugars to, and ignoring the murderous gaze, he finished it in two or three sips.

Tsk, my teeth hurt.

But he maintained the expression of an excellent butler: "Don't worry, Master, we will take good care of Zhizhi."

Knowing that they were in another eyebrow lawsuit, Ji Shuchen finished the last bite of his sandwich and felt a little helpless:
"Okay, I'll go to the company then."

After Liu Ma sent her young master away with a smile, she gently raised her fingers and twisted a small piece of flesh on Butler Yu's waist and rotated it 180 degrees.

The poor old butler's expression twisted on the spot. He had endured it until now before exploding, which showed that he had grown up.

"I'm wrong, I'm wrong, let it go."

Aunt Liu snorted coldly and went upstairs.

Taking this opportunity, Butler Yu immediately went to take care of the affairs of the manor.

I have to go and see if Zhizhi is awake. If she isn’t awake, I’ll come back and wake her up in half an hour.

After all, skipping breakfast is bad for the body, not to mention there is a medicinal meal waiting for her. As for sleeping in, let her get enough sleep after her body has strengthened in a few days.

It was half an hour later that Yue Lizhi was woken up by Liu Ma. She was still half asleep, so she hopped on one foot back to her room and lay on the sink to brush her teeth.

When my hand touched the cold marble countertop, I came back to my senses and almost swallowed the toothpaste foam.

Shit? When did he become a human? I guess you weren't shocked when Ji Shuchen left, right?

After retching for a long time due to nausea, Yue Lizhi gave up. Never mind, whatever!

Not long after breakfast, Yu Lan came to the door with the finished clothes.

When the sets of clothes were placed in front of Yue Lizhi, it was Liu Ma who kindly lifted her poor chin.

She has never tried this style of skirt before because of her round face and she always wears cute clothes.

At the instigation of several people, she changed into one of the white suspender waist lace long skirts.

Yu Lan propped up her chin and looked at it, then put on some makeup, braided her hair into a side braid, and pinned a small gardenia hairpin on her ear.

After finishing dressing up, Yue Lizhi looked at herself in the mirror with some disbelief. She had never imagined that the word "gentle" would one day appear in her description.

Liu Ma was quick to take a photo and sent it to Ji Shuchen, then kept her achievement secret.

Ji Shuchen was stunned for a moment when he looked at the smiling girl in the photo. She just sat there quietly, like a blooming gardenia, gentle and quiet.

With her around, the night doesn't seem so scary, because she... is a source of light herself.

Yue Lizhi had no idea what Ji Shuchen was thinking. She only knew that changing clothes was a physical job.

After begging for mercy for the Nth time, Yue Lizhi was finally let go. She sent Yu Lan away with tears in her eyes, and then threw herself into Liu Ma's arms.

"Ma Liu~ I'm so tired!"

"Okay, okay, give me a hug, Auntie Liu!" Auntie Liu was happy to see the little girl acting like a spoiled child. Maybe this was a treatment that even her own young master couldn't enjoy.

The elderly should be cherished.

After staying in Liu Ma's arms for a while, Yue Lizhi thought about the great task that he had not completed last night.

She originally planned to wait until Ji Shuchen fell asleep, then dim the lights a little, and then dim them a little every day, gradually letting him get used to the darkness.

Finally the idea stopped at the first step.

She fell asleep.

Maybe Liu Ma also knew some things. Yue Lizhi stretched out her little feet to test:

"Aunt Liu, can I ask you something?"

Aunt Liu held Yue Lizhi in her arms and swayed her, gently stroking her back as if coaxing a child: "Of course you can!"

"Auntie Liu, why is Ji Shuchen afraid of the dark? Did he have any bad experiences as a child?"

The hand that was patting his back paused, and Yue Lizhi keenly noticed it: "It doesn't matter, if you can't say it, then don't say it."

"There's nothing I can't tell you. On the contrary, I'm very happy that you care about the young master."

With distant memories and unspeakable heartache, Aunt Liu slowly spoke:
"The young master has suffered so much. Although Old Yu and I watched him grow up, we are not related by blood. We are close but not intimate."

"The eldest lady and the master, because of the matter concerning the young master's father, are unable to support the young master's more private emotions and the sense of security he needs."

"The young master's gentleness and politeness are more like a formula under dogma. I used to think that when the young master finds a loved one, maybe things will get better."

Aunt Liu touched Yue Lizhi's little head lovingly: "So I'm very happy that you care about the young master."

Yue Lizhi nodded, not quite understanding.

Aunt Liu continued, "In fact, the young master was not afraid of the dark before he was nine years old. He just didn't like drinking water at that time."

"The turning point of everything was the day when the eldest lady passed away—"

There was a rare heavy rain that day and the power supply in the manor tripped.

Little Ji Shuchen was a little worried about his mother, so he went to look for her in the dark, but no matter how he shouted, his mother didn't respond at all.

Little Ji Shuchen stood at the door of the room, clasping his hands, feeling a little overwhelmed. He didn't dare to go in without permission.

But he was really worried that his mother would fall or squat in the corner in the dark, so for the first time he violated the etiquette taught by his grandfather and broke in.

However, the room was too quiet. The only sound was his breathing.

Mother...still didn't respond to him.

The lights came on at this moment, and he saw pills scattered all over the floor...
