Chapter 22

Shi Liao Liao: ?

[Who asked him about this? So, is he not interested in Gu Xuezhaoor not interested in this group altogether??]

Maru suggested: [Why not ask for clarification?]

At this moment, Lan Yanzhou was still debating whether or not to add that he's not interested in men either. 

But he thought about the young servant's sexual orientation. 

Forget it, better not say it, so as not to hurt his feelings. 

Although he couldn't quite imagine what Shi Liao Liao being sad would look like.

The two returned to their dormitory with different thoughts in mind.

Lan Yanzhou went upstairs and said, "I'm going to take a nap. If Yang Qingzhou comes, just give him some tea, nothing too fancy."

This guy always comes and expects tea, can't spoil him too much.

After saying that, Lan Yanzhou left.

Shi Liao Liao agreed and walked into the kitchen, thinking about the evening menu. 

Although breakfast was takeaway, she had taken advantage of Lan Yanzhou's status today and acted a bit bossy. 

She should thank him properly.

From the fresh ingredients that had just been delivered, she lifted the six-kilogram Australian lobster onto the spacious cutting board. 

She planned to make sashimi and shrimp dumplings with this still struggling seafood.

Putting on an apron and rolling up her sleeves, Shi Liao Liao prepared to show off her skills.

Meanwhile, Gu Xuezhaowas being dragged out of the dormitory in front of everyone and didn't have such a leisurely mood anymore.

"What are you doing? I'm going to tell the dorm supervisor! I'm going to tell the supervisor!"

Gu Xuezhaowas struggling, but her weak strength was of no use. 

Several people brought her to Wu Zimian.

Wu Zimian, with gauze wrapped around his head, looked gloomy as he stared at her. 

"Long time no see."

Gu Xuezhaobit her lip. 

"Why did you look for me? Didn't Shi Liao Liao give you the money?"

Hearing these three words, Wu Zimian's expression twisted instantly, and he stood up abruptly.

"Don't mention that name!"

Five hundred thousand.

He had spent half a semester's pocket money on this! 

Gu Xuezhaowas so scared that she trembled. 

Wu Zimian walked over and lifted her up like a chick, whispering angrily, "You little sissy, you told me your friend had money and could pay double before I went to collect it."

He pointed to his head and snorted, "So you're fucking me over!"

Gu Xuezhaowas so scared that she could hardly breathe with her tightened collar.

"I'm not going to let you off easily!"

With that, he clenched his fist and swung it towards Gu Xuezhaowho shouted, "No!" 

She instinctively closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face from fear, and her hatred towards Shi Liao Liao grew even stronger.

Why did I have to encounter this? 

I said I would pay back the money, why did you have to treat me like this?

Shi Liao Liao, you did it on purpose!

"Hey, what are you doing?"

At the moment when Wu Zimian's fist was about to land, a voice suddenly came from behind them. 

Wu Zimian impatiently turned around and, upon seeing the person, he was so scared that he let go of Gu Xuezhaoin his hand.

"Yang... Yang."

He took a step back, not knowing if he was scared or guilty because Yang Qingcheng had told his cousin about the incident. 

Just seeing Yang Qingzhou standing there was enough to scare him and make him run away with a group of people.

Yang Qingzhou approached and looked at the trembling young boy kneeling on the ground. 

He couldn't help but ask, "Hey, did you—"

Before he could finish his sentence, the boy looked up, revealing a wet face. 

Yang Qingzhou cursed in his mind upon recognizing her appearance.

Why is it her? 

Tsk, I'm meddling too much.

Just as Gu Xuezhaowho had realized what had happened was about to grab onto the person in front of her and cry, Yang Qingzhoudodged quickly.

"I didn't help you."

"Your physique resembles the young servant who just came. Don't blame me for it."

After saying that, Yang Qingzhou turned and ran away, as if afraid that Gu Xuezhaowould cling to him.

It's Shi Liao Liao again...

Gu Xuezhaolowered her head, her long bangs covering her eyebrows. 

Her nails dug into her palms, leaving crescent-shaped blood marks.

"I am... different."

She wiped away her tears and reminded herself to stay calm and not compare herself to a man.

"I am different."

"How these people treat me now, they will all cry and kneel before me, begging for my forgiveness."

Gu Xuezhaoyou are the protagonist of this world.

Thinking of the words that person had said, Gu Xuezhaogradually calmed down. 

As Shi Liao Liao was finishing most of the dishes and preparing to make a dessert after the meal, Yang Qingzhouwalked in with a bewildered expression on his face.

"Luyan Zhou, let me tell you—"

He shouted as he walked in, but before he could finish his sentence, his nose twitched.

"Hmm? It smells so good."

Shi Liao Liao, wearing a bear apron, came out and nodded at him.

"Has Young Master Yang eaten?"

Yang Qingzhou immediately shook his head. 

"No, I haven't eaten. Is there a portion for me?"

Shi Liao Liao nodded.

"Just wait a moment, I'll go and call Young Master."

Yang Qingzhou waved his hand. 

"It's alright, you keep cooking. That guy will get up on time by himself."

"Alright, then I'll serve you some tea."

Shi Liao Liao thought to herself that it's no wonder he's an old lover; he knows all of his habits so well.

Following Luyan Zhou's instructions, Shi Liao Liao didn't brew any expensive tea. 

She simply placed a teacup in front of Yang Qingzhou, who was playing with the hamster that Shi Liao Liao had casually thrown out.

Yang Qingzhou smelled the tea and then took a sip.

"Hmm?"

He sounded puzzled.

"What kind of tea is this? It doesn't taste like the English teas he usually drinks."

Shi Liao Liao stood by with a silver tray in her hand, her face showing a respectful expression.

"This tea is called—"

"Old Man Wang Tea."

Yang Qingzhou: "...Speak in normal language."

Shi Liao Liao: "Wang Lao Ji."

Sorry, Yan Zhou, you've been exposed. 

I can only help you up to this point, bro.

Yang Qingzhou: "..."

He was really curious.

Where did the Lu family find such a talented person like Shi Liao Liao?

Both fell silent, and Shi Liao Liao spoke again.

"Young Master Yang, have you ever had a girlfriend before?"

The sudden change of topic caught Yang Qingzhou off guard.

Shi Liao Liao added, "As the personal servant of the employer, I know nothing about the past of the employer. You know, Young Master is very popular. I never know how to act around those young ladies. If I make a mistake, Young Master will get angry."

This reason sounds reasonable enough.

Yang Qingzhou chuckled.

"Don't worry, your Young Master is very clean and has never shown any romantic interest in anyone of the opposite sex in all the years I've known him."

Shi Liao Liao: "That sounds more like he's gay."

"Then, has Young Master ever mentioned what type he likes?"

When Yang Qingzhou heard this question, his heart skipped a beat, and he could tell from Shi Liao Liao's eyes that something was different.

Oh~ she's trying to ask me what type Luyan Zhou likes in a roundabout way.

Clearing his throat, he mysteriously said, "You've asked the right person."

"Your Young Master likes—"
