The package has assigned me way too many objects.

"Store manager!"

The shop assistant was halfway through her sentence when she noticed the maid giving her a silent, sharp warning. Intimidated by the look, she didn't dare make a sound and instead whispered to the shop manager, who had a somewhat air of superiority over his recent academic success:

"Manager, there are still customers here who specifically asked for AI lenses. I'll go get some water first."

The man calmed down and congratulated the two customers, one older and one younger, saying, "Guests, you are truly lucky stars! We just obtained the authorization for AI lens material, which you won't find in any other store. I'll go get the lenses made now, and you two, please choose your frames!"

The shop assistant pushed the shop manager into the studio so that he wouldn't continue to embarrass himself.

After the vision test, Chu Yinan pulled Dalena to the glass counter next to them to pick out eyeglass frames.

The right frames are very important for enhancing one's temperament. In many film and television works, in order to highlight the "country girl" attribute of female characters, they are often given a pair of very thick-rimmed glasses, which directly lowers their appearance by several levels.

However, looking at the frames, you can basically avoid the XX collaboration models. This kind of aesthetic is really distorted. The basic concept is to highlight something flashy. They even have wavy frames, which is quite outrageous.

However, when talking about eyeglass frames, we can't forget about black-rimmed glasses... these are definitely for the elderly!

"What kind of frames does Darlena like?" Chu Yinan said that she could choose whatever she wanted, but he offered his own suggestions: "Large round frames don't look good, and thick frames don't suit Darlena either. Darlena's face and features are delicate, so an elegant and refined frame would be better."

"Ah."

Darlena felt she might have to choose glasses according to the young master's preferences, but she hadn't done much research on matching glasses. As long as it didn't affect his appearance, she was fine with anything.

Let's just go with his preference.

She tentatively pointed to a red and black half-rimmed shoe, "How about this one?"

"No, no, the frame is too thick, it looks like those toy glasses for kids."

Okay, let's eliminate this one... the maid thought to herself, and continued the elimination process:

What about this one?

"This ladylike red color is actually alright, but Darlene is wearing a black and white maid outfit, and with these glasses, it's a bit of a style clash."

This one is also ruled out...

After much deliberation, the final choice was a pair of thin silver wire frames with a delicate silver cord hanging from them. Originally, these cords were used for children's and elderly people's glasses, but after years of commercial packaging, they have become more of an aesthetic decoration.

"So, does Darlena like it?" Chu Yinan asked, feeling that he was really considerate, having spent so long helping Darlena come up with ideas and choose the right product.

Darlena put on her glasses, straightened the rope chain, and glanced at herself in the mirror. The "somewhat fierce" look Chu Yinan had mentioned was probably something she couldn't change; it had become a fixed habit.

She glanced at the young master and noticed that he seemed quite pleased with how she looked with the glasses on, so she nodded and replied:

"Yes, I like it very much!"

Chapter 39 The young master is drinking a beverage

After paying the bill, Chu Yinan left the glasses shop with the black-haired head maid.

Darlena looked at the gift bag in her hand; inside was the pair of glasses.

"Do I need to wear these glasses?"

"No need, no need. Giving gifts is about the thought behind it. Don't let it become a burden. You can take it home and use it as room decoration. Besides, I'm getting used to the first impression of Darlene without her glasses."

The gift was given, and Chu Yinan didn't really care whether the recipient wore it all the time; that would just be too self-important.

If you want to give something voluntarily, but then expect the other person to accept it gratefully and keep it close at hand, making it seem like the other person owes you something, then the nature of the gift is distorted.

However, if you kindly choose a gift and the other person accepts it with a smile but then throws it away, you should be wary of that kind of person.

"What kind of gifts do they usually give on Glory Island? I mean, the kind that Darlena gives to her friends." Chu Yinan asked curiously.

Take the female father as an example. When Chu Yinan was a child, Heinrich bought him a game console for his birthday. However, Heinrich mostly played it by himself, and Chu Yinan hardly ever touched it. That game console is still gathering dust in the drawer of the study.

Darlena answered meticulously, "The Lefie family prepares gifts for their servants on their birthdays, usually cosmetics, jewelry, or handicrafts with sentimental value. These things are planned and arranged by a special maid."

Wow, that's amazing! Giving jewelry to employees for their birthdays... Chu Yinan exclaimed in amazement: "How do Darlene and her friends exchange gifts?"

Darlena's response was unusually slow for a moment:

“I…I rarely socialize. I usually serve Miss Morgan and assist with business matters.”

"I understand, I understand," Chu Yinan thought. "Of course I understand. The maid's words mean she doesn't have many friends, so she doesn't exchange gifts. Even that simple-minded maid, Chun, has an older maid at Liszt's house."

So why does Darlene, the head maid, work year-round without a break? Is she on a "007" work schedule?

"So, aside from the gift distribution within the Lefie family, am I the first outsider to give a gift to Dalena?" Chu Yinan considered this possibility.

“Young Master is not an outsider, so I hope you won’t bring up these words again,” Darlene said earnestly.

"That's not what I meant. It's just that he's from outside Glory Island... let's just say he's someone of the opposite sex. Am I Darlene's first boyfriend?"

Darlena felt something was off about those words. "I think so."

"Where is Xiao Chunan planning to go for a walk?" Dalena asked, noticing that his plans were clear and he didn't seem to be heading home.

"I'll treat you to lemon coffee, and then you can pay the bill, Darlene, as a return gift. Aunt Liu hasn't been letting me drink beverages lately; she's been checking my accounts."

Chu Yinan looked serious, not joking at all, but fearing the maid might misunderstand it as a forced sale, he added:

"Let me make it clear first, I didn't give you these glasses just to buy you a drink; those are two separate things!"

Darlena nodded and replied happily:

"Of course I understand. This is the young master's thoughtfulness towards his maid. He was worried that Darlena would have trouble knowing how to repay him, so he gave me this opportunity to return the favor."

Chu Yinan was taken aback; he didn't know how to explain it. It seemed the head maid's professional skills were truly exceptional.

"Yes, yes, that's right, so don't feel guilty, Darlene, just pay the bill for me!"

The beverage shop is also located in this commercial area. These beverage shops are usually situated near the street view, lakeside, or sea. After buying your beverage, you can enjoy the view and sip it under the parasol at the entrance.

It's the weekend, and the beverage shop is quite busy. Even with the maturity of drone delivery, going to a physical store to buy beverages remains a very common practice.

Darlena's appearance in the beverage shop was still eye-catching. Chu Yinan felt that the Lefie family's maids were very prestigious when they went out, and they always attracted attention wherever they went.

If it were Chun, a few bold young men would probably try to chat her up by now, but Darlena and Delia both have an aura of "keep away," so there's no need to worry about that.

Holding two large cups of chilled drinks, Chu Yinan enjoyed them under the sunshade on the outdoor terrace.

A refreshing sea breeze blew, and the invigorating lemon juice and coffee went down his throat. This pleasant feeling quickly reminded Chu Yinan of the fatigue from the previous night.

My sister emptied my chest with the doll maid, and I'm so exhausted that even my body, which doesn't need to take a big dump, can't keep up.

He started yawning, and his eyes, which had been fairly alert, gradually squinted, showing signs of wanting to sleep, but his mouth was still diligently sipping his drink.

Darlena couldn't possibly miss the changes in her little master's mental state. After a few sips of the invigorating coffee, he would become somewhat drowsy. Sometimes he would indeed fall asleep, but then suddenly open his eyes again, take a few deep sips of the drink, and then become sleepy again as he continued to drink.

She didn't ask Chu Yinan why he was sleepy. Instead, she took his drink away, then pulled him into her arms and laid him on her high breasts to sleep, facing her.

"I'm tired from walking this morning, so I should rest for a while. I'll wake Xiao Chunan up in a bit, so please sleep soundly."

Chu Yinan had originally intended to take the drink over to drink, but it wouldn't taste good if it wasn't cold.

But sleepiness eventually overcame her craving for lemons and coffee, and besides, a soft, large pillow was already placed on her face, carrying a strange but pleasant fragrance. Chu Yinan decided to go to sleep first.

This position, somewhat similar to last night's, triggered a conditioned reflex in Chu Yinan. His mouth instinctively moved to gently bite a spot on the pillow. Combined with the fact that Darlena's body was just the right size for him to hug, his body naturally moved closer to her stomach and rubbed against her.

Darlena looked surprised. It was rare for the composed head maid to encounter a situation she didn't know how to handle. The strange sensation from the grinding made her eyes twitch slightly.

And... what is that foreign object stuck to her stomach? Is it a ready-to-eat hot dog that the little one secretly brought with him?

"Young Master?" she called softly.

But Chu Yinan was asleep and couldn't hear her calls. His mouth, however, didn't stop craving coffee, and he kept trying to suck on the straw. And because he couldn't get any lemon coffee, he was sucking rather forcefully.

The head maid didn't know what to do. Suddenly, her phone showed an incoming call. This vibration could only be from Miss Morgan.

"...Hello, Miss Morgan, how can I help you...? Do you want to inquire about my contact with the young master?"

Darlena glanced down at the young master in her arms, who was fast asleep but also quite alert in some ways. Suppressing her unease, she replied calmly:

“I went for a walk with the young master and bought him drinks. We got along very well. He is currently...dozing off and drinking his beverage.”

Chapter 40 Chun was also bitten.

After reporting the situation to Morgan, Darlene originally planned to stay with the young master for half an hour before going back, but she couldn't stand it after only sitting there for fifteen minutes.

This is really like a baby who hasn't had enough to eat. The more he can't get enough, the harder he tries to eat, but the key is that no matter how hard he tries, he can't get anything out.

During this time, Darlena tried to loosen his mouth and adjust his sleeping position so that he couldn't bite her. However, the result of this adjustment was that she was sucking on the left side, but later she started sucking on the right side.

Helpless, Darlene had no choice but to take Chu Yinan back first.

Throughout the journey, she used her hand to shield Xiao Chunan's face. This action seemed to be to block out the sunlight and light so that he could sleep soundly, but in reality, it was to prevent him from indulging in his dream of drinking beverages.

Darlena herself wasn't sure if anyone had seen her; probably not, but even if they had, there was nothing she could do.

When Darlena returned home, Chun had just finished cleaning the floor near the entrance. When the silver-haired maid saw the head maid return, she stiffened, her movements as if time had been forcibly stopped, frozen in place.

"Head Maid Darlena..." Jun asked softly, "Have you finished your walk with the young master?"

According to the rules, Chun's current strange actions did not cross any lines, but those somewhat stupid actions were really unsightly. If other senior maids saw her in the main house, they would all say something to her, let alone Darlena.

However, Darlena was not in the mood for that right now, or rather, her attention was focused on the biting "landmine" in her arms.

"Yes, Miss Morgan just contacted me and asked me to go back and help out. I'm about to leave."

Chun carefully put her things down, wondering what the head maid had come for.

Is it to deliver ingredients? But there's no need for her to do this personally. Whether it's using a drone or having another trainee maid run errands, there's no need for Darlena to do it.

Ke Chun didn't dare to say anything more and nodded respectfully:

"Yes, what are your orders, Head Maid Darlena?"

"I carried the young master to bed. He started yawning and getting sleepy halfway through the walk. I watched him sleep for a while, but he didn't seem to be waking up, so I brought him back."

"Oh, okay."

Chun quickly took Xiao Chunan from the head maid's arms. It wasn't particularly hot outside, but sweating was inevitable after carrying him all the way back.

Xiao Chunan's forehead was covered in sweat, but he was sleeping soundly, with a little drool even dripping from the corner of his mouth.

The silver-haired maid secretly glanced at the head maid and noticed that her clothes were also soaked through at the chest, with two noticeable wet patches.

Clearly, this was sweat left by Xiao Chunan's pillow.

“Head Maid Darlena, your clothes are a bit wet. Would you like me to get you a sun-protective shirt to cover up a bit?”

Darlena wanted to refuse, but after looking down, she thought it would be better to accept. She could change her clothes when she got back to Glory Island.
