The maid asked, seemingly casually, "I just overheard Xiao Chu Yinan mention Miss Heinrich. May I ask who she is to you?"

Chu Yinan couldn't help but shudder when he heard Miss "Chanel" use her nickname for him.

South of Xiao Chu... What kind of weird address is that? It's so awkward.

Oh no, I used to protest against the term "little virgin," but now I can't even accept the full name. My brain has turned into the shape of Yu Tang.

“Heinrich, he’s my father in terms of relationship, he’s my dad!” Chu Yinan said with certainty.

"?"

This wasn't the first time the maid had been puzzled. Was this little guy serious?

Just across the street was the Leffe family's manor. The maid didn't follow, but stopped in front of the wide and clean street.

"It's just ahead, I can't see you off any further."

"Okay, then be careful."

After saying goodbye to her, Chu Yinan walked across the street and had just entered the manor when he was caught by Delia and questioned about where he had run off to.

Behind Delia was a silver-haired maid with her head down, looking dejected and aggrieved. It seemed that she was destined to be "officially" the one in charge.

The Lister family's maid stood quietly in place, watching Chu Yinan being embraced by Delia, confirming his identity.

"Is he really Miss Heinrich's child?"

Chapter 119 Discussing Live Broadcast

"I just went for a walk around the neighborhood! I didn't wander off. I'm not a child anymore, I wouldn't get lost just from walking around."

Ten minutes after finishing the site survey, Chu Yinan was still explaining to Delia that when Delia asked which area he was walking around in, Chu Yinan said he was just walking aimlessly along the street and couldn't say where.

"If you want to go for a walk again, remember to tell me, or have Chun accompany you. Don't wander off alone anymore, okay?"

"I know, I know. Delia, don't blame Chun. She was just following my advice. If Chun came with me, she would stand out, wouldn't she?"

“It’s perfectly normal on Glory Island, it won’t attract any attention at all,” Delia corrected his misconception.

Chu Yinan nodded in agreement: "I walked along this street and came to a manor. The fountain in the garden was the one with a Cupid violin, and someone was playing the violin inside the house!"

“That must be the Liszt family’s estate, right?” Delia could only give a 70% certainty. “The Liszt family is a great musical family, with many famous musicians. They run their own music academy outside the island and are a very prestigious family in the music field. It’s normal to hear piano music.”

"I also saw maids inside... cleaning."

"Could it be that she ran into that awful Aisha?" Chun whispered, sensing that Delia wasn't blaming her anymore.

Aisha... wicked?

Chu Yinan shook his head secretly. That shouldn't be it. The maid I met was named Kana. As for her personality, perhaps because it was our first meeting and I didn't know her well enough, but at least based on our brief interaction just now, Miss Kana wasn't bad.

Delia probably thought that Chu Yinan was curious about the new place and wanted to wander around, so after picking him up, she did not take him back to the house immediately, but let him stroll around the manor.

The manor was enormous; Chu Yinan was completely stunned by how big it was, thinking that Delia was trying to rack up her daily step count.

He was so exhausted from being run around by the maids that Heinrich finally called him inside to sit down and prepare for dinner.

The dining room in the house was also enormous, with an oval table extending from one side to the other, and more than a dozen seats between the two ends.

Chu Yinan was led to sit down next to Heinrich, looking around curiously, waiting to see if there were any unfamiliar people to eat with. He prepared to greet them first.

But the result was that there were no outsiders at all, and the people eating were the same as those at home.

The only difference was that Delia and Jun couldn't eat with them. They were probably afraid that Miss Heinrich would suddenly ask them to sit down and eat, which would put the head maid in a difficult position, so they both made excuses to clean and didn't appear near the dining room.

"Heinrich, why is it just us? Aren't there any elders or anything like that?"

"Most of the elderly people are vacationing in retirement resorts outside the island. Morgan is on her way back, and it will probably take her half an hour to get back. We can't wait for her. Didn't you just walk around the estate area? How was it?"

Chu Yinan recalled the scene he saw while strolling around and nodded, saying, "It's so-so. The houses are quite grand. The population isn't small, but it's mostly maids and butlers walking around on the streets. There are very few ordinary residents."

Yan Liu put all the food she didn't like from her plate onto Heinrich's plate and said to Chu Yinan:

"Of course there are fewer, because this place is far from the city. Ordinary people can only look at it from the street and can't come in to visit. Who would have time to come here for leisure? So even if the elderly retire here, it's quite uncomfortable. It's better to find a small, scenic city with a decent population to stay in."

Marissa was somewhat apprehensive about dining in a nobleman's mansion for the first time. She quietly sipped her sweet soup and ate the food on her plate, like a nobody. When she had almost finished eating, she said to Heinrich and Chu Yinan:

“I might have to go back to the monastery later. Once the island opens, the monastery will probably get busy, and I’ll have to go back to help.”

Chu Yinan wanted to persuade her to stay, but it was Marissa who brought it up herself. If he didn't let her go back, she would probably feel guilty towards her companions at the monastery.

"Okay, then I'll go with you after I finish eating, and then I'll come find you to hang out."

"Good~"

----------

After Aisha returned to the Lister family mansion, she did not tell Lord Berlan about the matter.

The Liszt family is a musical family, and Miss Chanel is now required to practice various pieces and movements. If Mr. Berlan finds out that Miss Chanel is not practicing and is secretly contacting strangers, he will probably give her a good scolding.

Let's keep it a secret for now, and Aisha also can't figure out how Chanel got to know that young master.

The maid stood guard at the door for a while, and just then she heard Kana play a few wrong notes in the music room, and then the music stopped.

"Is she contacting that young master?" Aisha muttered to herself.

......

[Kanna: I'm really sorry about the daytime situation, because I had some special circumstances.]

Chu Yinan looked at the message the other party had sent, somewhat confused. What was there to apologize for? There was nothing worth apologizing for, was there?

Could it be because of that somewhat bland attitude?

It's probably some kind of etiquette from a wealthy family, Chu Yinan didn't understand either, and replied with a generic, all-purpose statement.

[AI: It's okay, I understand. Many things can't be done perfectly; the thought is what counts.]

Looking at the replies on her phone, Xiang Nai was surprised to receive such tolerance from AI. But perhaps it was because robots don't worry about being stood up, which is why they were so tolerant.

Regardless, Xiangna's tense heart relaxed.

"Am I getting a little neurotic from being scolded for playing the wrong piece...?"

[Kana: Thank you. So, what do I need to do when I complete that mission?]

[AI: Is there anywhere you'd like to go? As long as you're with our staff, you can complete the task. Why not take this opportunity to go wherever you want to go? We'll take care of the rest.]

[Kanna: Is it really necessary for you to go to so much trouble? Let me think about the location first, and then I'll just tell the staff when we meet.]

[AI: Yes.]

Chu Yinan then asked her about the details of the live-streamed dating event, adding some information provided by the matching system, such as that her face would not be photographed and her real identity would not be displayed.

Then they came up with some official rhetoric about promoting social awareness of matchmaking and dating. After much hesitation, Kana agreed after hearing the "AI" say that it was a very important request.

"Speaking of which, this person's schedule is quite normal. It's not like he sleeps during the day. How come he gets up in the middle of the night to make calls? I need to go to bed early tonight, otherwise I won't be able to get up in the middle of the night."

Chapter 120 Beware of Delia!

As night fell, several maids offered to take Chu Yinan for a stroll around the manor. Worried that they wouldn't have enough time to play, Chu Yinan went directly to Delia and Chun's room to "take refuge."

He habitually lay on the upper bunk, after all, he once had his own upper bunk kingdom, but his sister had demolished it, and now he could only live under someone else's roof, sleeping under his sister's arm every night.

"Delia, are there any gossips among the maids of the Lefie family? I'm getting a little bored, I want to have some gossip." Chu Yinan said, resting his head on Chun's white-stockinged thighs. "If Chun knows anything, she can tell me too."

Chun knelt on her bed with her legs bent. There was a thick pen next to her pillow, which was used to write the character "正" (zhèng). She wanted to satisfy the young master's curiosity as soon as possible, but in order to prevent the number of "正" characters from increasing in one day, she could only shake her head.

Delia's voice came from the lower bunk: "It's not really appropriate for us to talk about this. The head maid strictly forbids the maids in the manor from gossiping about their colleagues behind their backs, as it will affect the harmonious atmosphere."

That makes sense. With everyone deceiving and scheming against each other, the manor would be in complete chaos if the master wasn't home.

Unfortunately, Chu Yinan, being just a bystander, missed out on much of the fun.

"Is it okay to talk about other people's maids? I heard during the day that someone's maid, Aisha, was really awful? Like, a disgraced employee?"

When Aisha was mentioned, Chun Ke had something to say. The little maid held Chu Yinan's head and said, "Aisha is my senior from the maid school? She's two years older than me. Her rudeness is just compared to the impression she usually gives to others."

"Details!" Chu Yinan exclaimed excitedly.

I'm just speaking up for my senior who I haven't had much contact with:

"I think she's a very good person. She seems simple and approachable, but she actually has a sharp tongue and a cunning side. Right now, she's taking care of someone else's young lady. I heard she's even scolded the young master."

This doesn't sound right. Chu Yinan reached out to scratch his head, but accidentally scratched the wrong spot, landing on Chun's thigh. The little maid's body trembled slightly, and his hand stiffened. He pretended nothing had happened.

"This personality sounds a bit like Delia's. Could she be lying to me?"

Delia was doing gentle stretching exercises on her bed to relax her tired body when she suddenly heard Chu Yinan's words and had a slight objection:

"When have I ever cursed the young master? And where have I ever been cunning and sharp-tongued?"

Yes, you even stepped on me with your toes in the bathroom and verbally humiliated me!

"It's just a feeling. By the way, what's the purpose of this hole in Chun's bed?" Chu Yinan changed the subject.

The hole he was referring to was on the bed frame, a solid bed frame. The entire bed was clearly custom-made, with a built-in soft pad on the bed frame, so there was no need to add an extra sheet. The hole, located at the geometric center of the bed frame, was about the size of the mouth of a regular water glass, allowing Chu Yinan to stick some strange parts inside (pointing to his hand).

The hole wasn't large, but it seemed quite big on a bed board that shouldn't have any holes.

Chu Yinan put his hand inside, and after a while, he suddenly felt his fingers being licked. It was itchy, tingly, and had an indescribable, subtle pleasure.

Then they heard Delia's explanation from the lower bunk: "It's tradition, isn't it? The beds in the manor are all custom-made according to tradition. The holes in the bed board were originally used to install incense burners, but now that we don't need them anymore, we've kept them."

This hole is quite useful for Chu Yinan, especially when he's lying face down. Sometimes he loses his balance and bumps head-on against the bed, which is very uncomfortable. Now that he has this hole, he has more buffer space and it's not too uncomfortable to lie face down.

I had heard Yu Tang say before that when she was pressing down on him, she would find a soft cushion, otherwise even if he was lying on a soft bed, she would feel a sense of pressure, and if she pressed down for a long time, she would worry that she would lose her shape. The same principle applies to boys.

Chu Yinan lay there for a while, then positioned himself in the hole in the bed board.

He was lying on Chun's lap, enjoying her meticulous ear-cleaning service, feeling incredibly good.

"Xiao Chunan." Chun called his name very softly, as if afraid someone would suddenly walk into the room and hear him. "Why do your little hands look a little wet?"

"Uh... because my hands were sweaty. I was in the wrong position just now, and I kept covering this hand, which made it sweat."

After Chu Yinan finished explaining guiltily, he suddenly glared and shut his mouth tightly.

He felt that the drawstring of his belt had come loose for some reason, and something had accidentally come free. A chill lingered in Chu Yinan's heart.

“…Delia?” Chu Yinan tentatively called Delia’s name. “Um, could you help me stuff it in…?”

"What are you stuffing in? I'll help Xiao Chunan!" Chun really wanted to show off.
