The package has assigned me way too many objects.

"There are very complicated details to this. I was just forced to work overtime." Chu Yinan told the truth, but it was also a little untruthful, sounding like a lie.

"The doll maid, did the AIs force Chu Yinan to do this?" Bei Yutang looked in the direction of the standby maid, knowing that the doll was not turned off.

The blonde maid took out a tablet, which displayed:

I have no authority to force Chu Yinan to do anything he doesn't want to do, nor does my underlying logic allow me to do so.

"You were just threatening and bribing me!" Chu Yinan retorted, only to be glared at by Yu Tang, and his apologetic posture instantly straightened up.

Looking at Chu Yinan's timid yet upright posture, Bei Yutang couldn't bring herself to be angry.

She probably wasn't angry about Chu Yinan's antics with the doll maid. She wasn't sure if she was already used to Chu Yinan's close relationship with the AI, or if she just thought the doll maid was nothing more than an object, like a male-only cup.

The only difference is that the doll maid is a bit larger.

However... I had promised to play with him before, but after finding the book, I put it out of my mind.

She sat down next to her little brother and flicked Chu Yinan's head:

"You always say you're such a big kid, but then you have a doll maid playing house and feeding your baby?"

"That's... the need to collect data, it's all a task from the AI ​​sister's side." Chu Yinan's explanation lacked confidence.

"Do you still want to play house?"

"?"

Chu Yinan raised his head, glanced at Yu Tang, and wondered what this meant. Could it be...?

But he didn't dare to answer, worried that this was Yu Tang's trap, trying to find an opportunity to trick him, because he had suffered many losses in the past. Chu Yinan just stared at him without answering.

Knowing he was a coward, Bei Yutang turned to the doll maid and said, "Could you please get me a bottle of milk from the refrigerator?"

The doll maid opened her eyes in response, bowed slightly, and went downstairs to get the milk. A little while later, the doll maid came up and placed the already opened milk bottle in Bei Yutang's hand. She then returned to her original position to continue waiting.

Chu Yinan didn't understand what Yu Tang meant. This action confused him. Was she planning to slowly seduce him until he spoke?

He was full of energy, but he didn't want to waste the whole night with Yu Tang, so he said weakly:

"We can talk this over."

The girl with long black hair ignored him and started drinking her yogurt. This yogurt was very thick and difficult to drink without a straw.

Bei Yutang put the straw aside and started drinking from the bottle. Slowly, white yogurt overflowed from the corner of her mouth, slid down her chin, dripped onto her collarbone, and slowly flowed onto her beautiful and firm breasts.

It's possible that more water leaked out than was drunk. Chu Yinan knew that Yu Tang was doing it on purpose; she was faking drinking.

It's one thing for her to drink iced yogurt in the middle of the night, but how did she manage to get it all over her body?

"Is he having an attack?"

Chu Yinan had barely finished speaking when Bei Yutang mercilessly pinched his cheek, making him too afraid to say another word. Just as he was rubbing his cheek, he heard Bei Yutang ask:

"It's the same question as before. Do you still want to play the 'baby is hungry' pretend game? You're so energetic tonight. If I don't play with you for a while, you probably won't be able to sleep tonight."

Oh!

Chu Yinan understood. It was time to drink Nana's milk. Who isn't a baby at heart?

He nodded his head like a chick pecking at rice, then got up and hugged Yu Tang's neck: "Can we play games like before, besides playing house?"

Bei Yutang pulled Chu Yinan into her arms, cradling him in the same way she had held the doll maid earlier, and continued to flick his little head with her slender, jade-like fingers: "Then bark like a dog."

Chu Yinan didn't hesitate, not caring about his old face, and even chimed in with a hint of excitement and anticipation: "Woof~"

Chapter 36 Darlena's Familiarization Plan

The next day, Chu Yinan, who had slept well but not completely, discovered that a guest had come to her home.

Darlena's appearance made Chu Yinan's previously calmed heart tense up again. This was a maid who had no reason to be here in any way.

He had just finished working overtime last night and had his doll maid run away overnight, cleaning up the room he and Yu Tang had messed up before leaving.

Just when one maid left, a new one arrived, and Chu Yinan was on high alert.

While Darlena wasn't looking, Chu Yinan secretly found Delia and tried to get information from her:

"Delia, what brings Darlena here?"

Delia knew about the conversation between the two masters at last night's dinner. Morgan had sent Darlena over today, presumably to cultivate a relationship first.

"I brought some of the fish Miss Heinrich caught yesterday, and she'll stay here to help out until tonight."

Chu Yinan remembered hearing Heinrich and his aunt say yesterday that they would process the ingredients when they returned to Glory Island, so it was understandable that they would send over some of the processed ingredients now.

The family doesn't lack meat for a meal or two, but it's a trophy that Heinrich caught, so it has a different meaning.

"Then why didn't you leave after you finished delivering the goods? Don't you need to take care of the work at the main house? Or go help Aunt Morgan with her work?" Chu Yinan always felt that Darlene's staying behind was a potential problem.

There must be some secret behind this. There are already two maids in the house who are in charge of daily chores, so there is absolutely no need to bring in another maid, especially one who is my aunt's right-hand woman.

Delia was somewhat troubled by Chu Yinan's wariness. Darlena might become one of the candidates for "blind box" later, so it was better to leave this matter to her to decide.

“I think Xiao Chunan can just ask her directly. If she can, Dalena will tell you, which will save you from suspicion.”

As soon as Chu Yinan went downstairs early in the morning, he saw a black-haired maid sitting upright on the sofa, with Chun sitting next to her, trembling with fear. This made Chu Yinan wonder if something big was going to happen.

Sigh, staying up late and overworking really affects my condition the next day.

To cover it up, Chu Yinan got up despite being sleepy, while her sister was still fast asleep in bed.

The silver-haired maid suddenly knelt down, smelled Chu Yinan's hair, and asked in confusion:

"Did Xiao Chunan sneak a yogurt drink last night? And did he take another shower?"

Chu Yinan's face stiffened for a moment. The doll maid should have cleaned up all the trash last night; it shouldn't have been discovered. He forced himself to remain calm and asked as naturally as possible:

"Hmm, how did Delia know? Did you go to bed very late last night?"

Delia explained carefully, "The maid knows everything that's in the refrigerator, so she knows exactly what's missing. The shampoo you used after your bath last night didn't smell like it now."

Surprised!

Putting aside the refrigerator, why do you remember the scent of your shampoo so clearly?

The women in my family don't like shampoos or conditioners with strong scents, so they all use mild-smelling ones.

Chu Yinan, who is fairly sensitive to smells, can only clearly smell the scent by burying her head in her sister's underwear.

"Last night, Yutang wanted to drink yogurt, but she choked on it and spilled it all over herself, so I had to take a shower with her." Chu Yinan hoped that his statement was correct.

To avoid delving deeper into the topic, Chu Yinan decided to slip away: "Then I'll go ask Darlene what's going on."

He took off running and sat down next to Dalena. The black-haired maid had an elegance that rivaled Delia's. She was probably a very typical noble maid template, much better than that kind of simpleton.

However, she and Delia are similar in one way: when no one is around or when they are out and about, they both put on a cold and aloof expression that keeps strangers at bay. Darlena is obviously more stern, and her eyes will narrow slightly from time to time, as if she is scrutinizing the other person at any moment.

"Good morning, Dalena." Chu Yinan wasn't really familiar with her, and after the first sentence, he felt awkward making conversation.

Good morning, young master.

Darlena prepared to stand up and bow, but Chu Yinan quickly told her to sit back down, saying there was no need for such a grand gesture.

"The weather seems pretty nice today?"

"Cloudy, 26 degrees Celsius, humid sea breeze, but no rain. If the young master needs to go out for a stroll, we still need to prepare for UV protection."

You're so professional...

But judging from her appearance, she didn't seem to be there for me. She didn't seem to have anything to talk about. Could it be that she came for Chun?

Because of Darlena's sudden visit, the little maid is still not very daring to work in front of her. She might slip and fall while mopping the floor, or drop the plates while disinfecting them. Especially when Chu Yinan is around, she doesn't dare to move at all.

Chun has now moved to the second floor and is doing her job in the simplest and least error-prone way: wiping the floor with a rag.

"Dalena, so you think there's something wrong with Chun's job, and that's why you're here to evaluate her?"

Chun, who was wiping the floor on the second floor, was suddenly startled. Her hand went limp, and she slipped and almost fell. If she fell here and got her white stockings wet, she would have to go downstairs to her room to change them, which would inevitably be discovered by the head maid.

She patted her soft chest as if she had just escaped a disaster, then anxiously and nervously pricked up her ears to eavesdrop on the conversation below.

What is Xiao Chunan doing?! I'm going to be kicked out!

Darlene found Chu Yinan's question baffling. Why would he think in this direction? He even specifically mentioned "pure." Her eyes sharpened, and she subtly glanced towards the second floor.

"We don't have that plan, but does the young master mean that the quality of your work with Miss Heinrich is usually quite rough?"

"No, no! Chun works very hard, I'm quite satisfied." Chu Yinan couldn't hold back any longer and asked directly, "Dalena, what are you doing here today? I don't mean anything by it, I'm just curious... Is there something arranged by your aunt?"

"Indeed, Miss Morgan asked me to get to know the young master well so that I would have experience when I go back and be prepared for the young master's next stay on Glory Island."

Chu Yinan pondered in silence. Although he felt it wasn't that simple, since the maid had said so, it was probably true.

What's so familiar about this? When you get back, just give them a room and a bed to sleep in. Even if there's no one to cook, you can easily call the AI ​​assistants to help deliver takeout.

"What's there to be familiar with? You're being too formal."

“I’ve drafted a few familiar options: accompanying him on a relaxing walk, accompanying him on a nap, or accompanying him to a bath. Which one do you think is suitable, young master?” Darlena’s eyes were slightly purplish, as if she wanted to see through Chu Yinan’s true thoughts. The pressure emanating from her eyes was quite strong.

"Just take a walk. Your eyes are a bit fierce. You don't need to be so serious!"

"Eyesight? That's probably because I'm farsighted, so I can't see things up close very clearly and have to squint."

?

Chu Yinan was speechless, suddenly realizing that he had worried for nothing for so long.

So that sharp gaze was actually because he couldn't see things clearly...

------

PS: The previous chapter was indeed a bit too subtle. My main concern was that if I were even slightly more direct, I would get arrested.

Previously, even rubber ducks that ran aground were arrested...

PS: Then I corrected the typos and overly metaphorical paragraphs in the previous chapter and posted them in the group.

Chapter 37 Who's Building Whom's Favorability?

So, Chu Yinan went out for a walk with Darlena first, just the two of them, without letting Delia and Chun come along.

He is very experienced in taking walks, and he can even now skillfully go for walks with women he doesn't know, thanks in part to the experience he has accumulated through the matching system.

Treat it as a task and be done with it.
