The gardener stood still in front of her.
After a moment, he averted his gaze, preparing to shift to another target.
However, before he could take ten steps, Bai Youwei called out to him from behind, saying, “Hey, where do you think you’re going?”
The gardener was taken aback, then a slight smirk played on his lips.
Ah, women…
He turned around to face Bai Youwei with an understanding expression and said, “I’m going to see if the other brides need help.”
“Who could need more help than a cripple?” Bai Youwei said flatly, “Just stay here and help me.”
The gardener smiled, bowing politely, “I am honored to serve you.”
Bai Youwei’s face revealed no emotion and she said lightly: “Since I am the Duke’s bride, the lady of this mansion, and you’re a mere gardener, of course you should serve me.”
The smile on the gardener’s face faltered, “…As long as it’s within my means.”
Bai Youwei pointed downwards: “They’re all looking for the key on the third floor. I want to search downstairs. Carry me down.”
After a moment of thought, the gardener said, “Alright.”
He crouched down in front of Bai Youwei, waited for her to climb onto his back, then carried her downstairs. T/his chapter is updat𝓮d by n𝒐v(ê(l)biin.co/m
Upon reaching the first floor, he set Bai Youwei down on the couch in the hall.
Bai Youwei said: “I’ve changed my mind. I’m a cripple and I can’t possibly look for the key in such a huge place. I should stay on the third floor to keep an eye on the others so they won’t hide the key while I’m not there.”
The gardener considered her words.
He picked up Bai Youwei once more, taking her back up to the third floor.
As soon as Bai Youwei touched her wheelchair, she sighed in frustration: “Forget it, let’s return to the first floor. So much time has already passed, if they wanted to hide the key, they’ve likely done so already. There’s no point in me watching them. I might as well rest in my room.”
The gardener started to feel something was off, hesitating, he asked, “Are you sure you want to go to the first floor?”
“What, you don’t want to?” Bai Youwei raised her eyebrows, “You mentioned earlier that you would serve me, didn’t you? As an NPC, I’d appreciate it if you could act accordingly, okay?”
The gardener:
Left speechless, he once again crouched down in front of her.
He picked up Bai Youwei and swiftly returned to the first floor, setting her down once more.
Bai Youwei said: “Let’s go back up to the third floor again.”
The gardener lost his temper at last:” What for this time? The sun is about to set. I must return to my quarters before the Duke comes back!”
“Why the big reaction?” Bai Youwei frowned displeasedly. “My wheelchair is still on the third floor, do you mean you are not going to get it for me?”
The gardener was taken aback, then stared at her with a dark expression, “…Alright, I will retrieve it for you.”
Once again, he traversed those lengthy spiral stairs to retrieve Bai Youwei’s wheelchair.
Bai Youwei said: “Okay, you can go to the third floor now.”
The gardener snapped: “I was genuinely trying to help. You shouldn’t play me like this!”
“Huh?” Bai Youwei looked up at him, “Wasn’t it you who just said you need to return to your quarters before the Duke gets back? If you don’t go up to the third floor, are you planning on having dinner with me here on the first floor?”
The gardener:
Frustration was building within him, his hands clenched into fists, and at the same time, he was perplexed: why would a player behave in such a way?
Could it be that she had seen through him?
But he hadn’t shown any signs of slips at all!
At that moment, frantic crying echoed down from above.
Between sobs, Cheng Xi ran around aimlessly in the hallways, murmuring anxiously to herself: “What to do… I can’t find it… I just can’t find it… He’s going to come and kill me… I can’t find the key…”
The gardener adjusted his expression, then ascended the staircase with a naturally gentle and concerned expression, “Do you… require any assistance?”
