Delia smiled and said:
"Chun went to Miss Heinrich's place. Should I take the young master to see her?"
Chu Yinan climbed onto the bed and sat down next to Delia. The head maid promptly picked him up and placed him on her white-stockinged lap. This was basically Chu Yinan's usual seating arrangement; wherever he went, someone would offer him a seat on their lap.
He muttered in dissatisfaction:
"Delia, stop using that title. And you and Darlene are so mean! You knew all along, but you pretended not to know! You should have told me sooner! I didn't even know there were other companions on the island besides me, Marissa, and Vallis!"
"But whether I say it or not, it's all the same. We can meet when we need to, and I can see you most of the day, provided you don't run away from home."
Chu Yinan thought about it and realized that it made sense. Whether he said it or not, the way they got along wouldn't change, but letting him know that there were other companions on the island would at least make him feel more at ease.
"What you're doing isn't right!"
"It's really not good. Now that you know, there's no way I can keep you in the dark and continue to call you 'Young Master' and let you play with me."
Chu Yinan: ......
There's a reason why the maid in the house is so arrogant!
When they arranged for him to take a nap at the hotel during the last group stay, it was definitely a premeditated plan specifically targeting him. All the talk about giving him a lesson or giving him a massage was just a pretext.
Aside from that little incident, Chu Yinan felt mostly... flattered and uneasy.
"I'm feeling a little embarrassed now. Delia, you and Darlene are both my sisters, but you've ended up serving me like maids..."
Delia smiled, letting him play with a strand of her hair that had fallen down:
"Being a maid is just a job, and Darlene and I both really enjoy our current jobs. Doing housework is easy, we don't have to be professional people or build social relationships, and most importantly, we're still within the artificial island area."
As your older sister, I take care of you; as your maid, I still take care of you. What's there to be embarrassed about?
Chu Yinan thought it made a lot of sense, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. It really was like running away from home and suddenly realizing that everything had changed:
"Heinrich is now your boss? That's a strange relationship!"
"Miss Heinrich is now the boss of Qilin and Fuxi, and besides, why do you think she arranged for me to be your personal maid?"
"Oh, so it all comes down to Heinrich. She knows everything, but she just won't say anything! I'll go and nag her tonight and bother her a bit."
Chapter 42 Sleeping will solve everything
"Two bodies, damp with fragrant sweat, a gentle spring breeze... Jade Pot?"
What kind of nonsense is this push notification?
Chu Yinan muttered to himself the content of the push notification on his phone's browser, sensing that something was amiss.
It was time for him to take a shower, but just showering was too boring, so scrolling through his phone was normal. He had just returned from outside the island a few days ago and was thinking of checking out some news there, like any stories of conglomerate heirs choking to death on water.
It has to be said that without the AI assistants' search engine, the number of ads is outrageous. And to make matters worse, they've started introducing some strange and bizarre messages.
It's clear that the big data from outside the island isn't very reliable. Back when he was on the island, he, Chu, only scratched the surface and pushed some subtle things before starting to push strange content. Now that he wants to see serious gossip, he's being pushed this kind of thing.
"Golden spears clashed in three thousand battles, silver candles illuminated seven or eight beauties. Quite fierce."
Chu Yinan was enjoying the literature when he heard some noises outside the bathroom door. A black silhouette was reflected in the frosted glass door, a voluptuous and sexy figure with just the right amount of flesh. Chu Yinan recognized it as Aunt Liu's figure.
The figure in the glass bent its calves, took off a thin piece of underwear and put it in the laundry basket, then raised its hands and took off a few more pieces of clothing.
Aunt Liu doesn't seem to have taken a shower yet. Could it be that I took too long to shower and she thought no one was in the bathroom?
That doesn't make sense. I just washed my hair and rubbed my phone screen for a bit. I haven't even gotten into the bathtub yet; I've only been washing for a short while.
Chu Yinan spoke up to remind him:
"Aunt Liu, I'm almost done washing up. Wait a moment. I'm about to go out."
He had just stood up when the bathroom door opened, and Yan Liu walked in with a smile, closing the door behind her. Her gaze fell on the shower gel bottle next to her; Chu Yinan would definitely take the bottle out of the storage table if he wanted to use it.
"You didn't even use shower gel, how did you finish washing?"
"No sweating..." he replied softly.
Sensing that the beautiful and graceful Aunt Liu had no intention of letting him leave, Chu Yinan sat back down on the small stool, facing away from her.
Today's discussion with Aunt Liu about the "important matter" is over, but as always, apart from sitting close together during mealtime, we didn't chat at other times. Unlike last time when she ran away from home, we didn't make up as soon as she came back. After all, the circumstances and nature of the situation are different.
But that doesn't mean the negotiations have failed. It just means they need some time to adjust. Otherwise, when they meet, the first thing they'll think about is the previous conflict, and the conversation will get stuck. They should at least get some sleep. After two or three days, the bad memories will fade, and the relationship will get back on track.
The fact that the bathroom was being raided was a bit unexpected for Chu Yinan. And even when Aunt Liu usually dragged him to shower together, she would always wrap herself in a towel before getting into the bathtub. Why was she like this today...?
"Aunt Liu, are all the dry bath towels in the house gone?"
"Yes, it's outside the door. Aunt Liu will help you dry off after you finish your bath."
The woman turned on the solar-powered tap, filled a basin with water, and then moved close behind Chu Yinan, pouring the water over herself and him, wetting their bodies.
Water droplets flowed down the mature woman's snow-white skin, making it as moist as tofu, and you could visually feel its tenderness.
Chu Yinan heard the sound of a shower gel bottle being pressed behind him, followed by the cool, minty touch against his back. As a gentle, slender hand slowly spread across his back, it moved to other areas.
"Xiao Chunan, you haven't spoken much to Aunt Liu today. Are you still angry with her?"
"...I'm not angry. Aunt Liu didn't do anything wrong. I was just being too sensitive lately. I did think about talking to Aunt Liu today, but..."
"But what?"
"But my previous reaction was too intense. It's a bit difficult for me to act like nothing happened. I'm still a little uncomfortable. I'm worried that chatting with Aunt Liu in this state will make you feel uncomfortable... I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. A little buffer time will be enough."
After saying that, Chu Yinan frowned uncontrollably, suppressing the embarrassing sound that almost came out of his throat. Aunt Liu's hand, which was applying shower gel to him, had been lingering in one spot for quite a while.
The comfortable technique made his back hunch slightly.
"Is that so? I don't think it should be like this, Xiao Chunan... I think Xiao Chunan and I should have a closer, more intimate, and more trusting relationship. It's not normal for us to have conflicts, and it's not normal for us not to have a calm and heart-to-heart talk after a conflict. Now that we've made up, it's even more abnormal that we still feel a little awkward like the relationship is about to break off. Don't you think so?"
Yan Liu's voice was calm as she calmly recounted her thoughts, but behind her peaceful tone seemed to lie excitement. For the first time, Chu Yinan felt a sense of pressure from this gentle elder.
A strange, gentle pressure.
Because of this sudden excitement, her hands gripped the handle a little harder and moved a little faster.
Chu Yinan didn't know how to answer her, so he could only respond in a way that Aunt Liu wanted to hear. He suppressed his trembling voice and said:
"......Um."
"The reason is that Xiao Chunan and I are not close enough. My dear Xiao Chunan should be of one heart with Aunt Liu. There should be no suspicion between us. Do you know what to do?"
"I don't know," Chu Yinan replied in a low voice.
Finally, Yan Liu released his grip, and Chu Yinan felt much less pressure. A basin of warm water was slowly poured over him, and the white bubbles disappeared into the drain along with the water.
Yan Liu straightened Xiao Chunan's body, making him face her, and then hugged him tightly in her arms.
"Aunt Liu will teach you~"
......
Early the next morning.
Chu Yinan woke up very early. He looked at the ceiling of the room. This was his and Marisa's room. Usually, when Marisa wasn't around, this was his territory.
Since he had just returned, Yu Tang didn't insist that he go back to her place to sleep, letting Chu Yinan go up to the third floor to calm down.
After getting dressed, Chu Yinan stared blankly at his phone until he realized that the page he had browsed while taking a shower last night was still running in the background, confirming that he wasn't dreaming.
When he arrived at the dining room, he found that Aunt Liu had gotten up exceptionally early today, even earlier than him, and had already finished washing up.
Although she wasn't wearing makeup yet, you could tell she looked exceptionally healthy, as if she had just been nourished by sweet rain. Her complexion was rosy, and her joy was written all over her face.
"Good morning, Xiao Chunan. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Good morning, Aunt Liu! Did you sleep well? You look much prettier today, even more beautiful than before!"
The beautiful woman happily pecked him on the cheek and said joyfully:
"That's all thanks to Xiao Chunan. My obedient little darling is back, and Aunt Liu can sleep extra soundly now!"
Sure enough, all the barriers were gone.
It will disappear after you sleep.
Chapter 43 Team Building Physical Examination
"Is Xiao Chunan going to play at home or go back to school today? He hasn't been to school for more than ten days!"
After asking the question, Bei Yutang suddenly felt something was off, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. Her mother used to dote on Xiao Chunan, and she still does now, but she just felt that there was a subtle change in the atmosphere.
Of course, it's always a good thing for the family to return to its original state. Yesterday, Xiao Chunan and his mother had a heart-to-heart talk in the morning, but they didn't talk much for the rest of the day. As an observer, I was quite worried.
However, it's not appropriate to start a lecture or preach in this situation. In such cases, lecturing and rational advice are superfluous and will only backfire.
Now that they've "reconciled," that's a good thing, a good thing.
Chu Yinan counted on her fingers; it had indeed been more than ten days. After visiting Wei, she stayed home for a week, and then immediately ran away from home. It was time to go back to school. The situation was different for second-year high school students compared to third-year students. At Yu Tang's current stage, applying to study at home was very easy, even on the artificial island.
"That seems so. Then I'll go to school. School feels more fulfilling."
Yan Liu was a little reluctant. She had finally managed to build a good relationship with the little brat. Although the future was long, it didn't mean that every second they spent together now was unimportant.
"It's okay if you go a few less days, since you haven't been away for that many days since. Just stay home and keep me company for now!"
This comment inevitably drew Bei Yutang's displeasure. Now that the subtle distance between her mother and Xiao Chunan had disappeared, a little lecturing was fine. She muttered:
"You're just hurting Xiao Chunan. At this age, going to school is always better than staying at home idle. Even if he's not going back to study, spending a day at school with his classmates is better than being a lazy bum at home. Getting out and about makes a difference to his whole being!"
Yan Liu naturally understood the logic in her daughter's words, but she still stubbornly insisted:
"How does staying at home with me harm your energy? Besides, Xiao Chunan will be staying with me from now on, so I can take care of him."
Heinrich observed Yan Liu with great interest, then regretfully announced the defeat of both sides:
"It's a pity that Xiao Chunan can neither stay at home nor go to school... I mean, not today."
"Where are you taking Xiao Chunan?" Yan Liu looked at Heinrich warily. Seeing that the little boy had almost finished eating, she picked him up and hugged him tightly, afraid that he would run away.
Heinrich shrugged helplessly, gesturing for Delia to explain. The maid put down her spoon and said softly:
"Medical examination. Darlena will bring Marissa over in a bit, and I will accompany her to Yenisetta for the medical examination."
