The Timid Young Master and The Cold Assassin 2

[Li Zhang: How much is the recovery pill?]

[The over joy system answered: Master its 15 experience points.]

[Li Zhang: But I don't have any points yet.]

[The system quickly took the chance to make a good first impression: No problem, you can pay back after you earn points.]

After taking the pill, Li Zhang's internal bleeding healed, the sharp and blunt pain faded away and color finally returned to his face. Li Zhang got up from the bed and walked to the mirror. He was shocked beyond words by the person he saw. 

He has long black hair and crystal blue eyes. His face is pale and slightly angular, and his skin is flawless with no blemishes or imperfections. Li Zhang could see himself clearly in the mirror but that didn't stop him from staring into it, trying to get a glimpse of the man behind those features. There's no denying it; this is beautiful.

How can a man be so delicate? And with this weak look and timid personality, it's no wonder that he got bullied all the time.

He looked at the clock on the wall, it was sixteen minutes past eleven pm. Li Zhang decided to take a long bath before going to bed. According to the memories he obtained, tomorrow should be the first day of his transfer school. After his bath, he put on an oversized T-Shirt, some sweatpants, and his slippers. Before getting back to bed, he took one last look in the mirror and sighed deeply.

Why are you even here? If you're not going to make any progress, go away. Someone who is timid and doesn't dare to say more than three words to others, how is he supposed to make progress with this personality?

Early the next morning, the Li family mansion was lit up. The servants were busy cleaning and the butlers were also awake. The maids made breakfast while the butler prepared some clothing for the master and young masters.

Just when Li Zhang was about to enjoy his morning sleep, the sound of knocking on the door accompanied by a person calling disturb his sleep. 

The butler knocks on the door a few times: "Young master, are you awake? It's time to prepare for school."

As the butler's voice faded, a hurrying sound came from inside, and before long the sound of something falling and a few ow ow ow, could be heard in the room.

"Young master, take your time, and don't hurt yourself." The butler was helpless. Although this is the young master's home, he'll be on edge all the time so he will not make any mistakes. Sometimes, the servants are even treated better than him.

There was nothing left for him to do now except wait for the young master to finish getting ready. When there are only ten minutes left till nine am, there's another knock on the door.

To the place the butler couldn't see, Li Zhang sighs heavily and gets up, rubbing his eyes and stretching himself before lazily making his way into the bathroom.

"I'm so-sorry, I didn't mean it. I… I'll be done quickly." When Li Zhang heard the butler confronting him, he panicked even more.

The butler also didn't say anything. Given the young master's temperament, he would only panic more. "Young master, when you're done, come down for breakfast."

Hearing the sound of the butler's footsteps fading away, Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Acting in such a timid character is more tiring than he thought. For him not to be OOC (out of character), he has to behave in the same way the original owner does. If he got suspected as an imposter, the mission would be in danger or failure.

Li Zhang quickly took a bath and put on his new school uniform before going down the steps. But when he arrived, he was disappointed. The family of four finished eating without him. Another lonely breakfast.

The butler turned and left without another word. 

Once alone with his thoughts, Li Zhang let out a sigh before going to take a shower and get ready. As much as he disliked doing this, he was already late. He went through his usual routine of changing clothes, brushing his teeth, and combing back his hair. Just as he was finished drying off, someone knocked on the door again.

"Young master, your breakfast is ready."

This time, Li Zhang could hear the butler's footsteps approaching the bedroom door.

Before he got the chance to say something, however, the butler opened the door. Without warning, he grabbed Li Zhang's wrist and dragged him downstairs. As soon as they were there, he pushed him into the dining room.

There are two long tables in the dining room, one on which the family of three was eating. The atmosphere between them gives no room for outsiders to interfere. 

Li Jiang's wife has two sons. One is three years older than Li Zhang and the other is four years younger than him. Once Li Jiang is on a business trip, the family of three would eat and hang out together, excusing Li Zhang. The older one is called Li Yujin while the younger one is called Li Yuhan. 

"Young master, I can eat with you, if you don't mind." Butler Zhu offered.

This Butler Zhú has worked with the Li family for twenty years. He is considered the oldest worker in the mansion. He also understood the way the Li family does things more than anyone else. When baby Li Zhang was brought into the family, he was the one who took good care of him. Unknowingly, this butler Zhu and Li Zhang's mother are biological siblings.

"Thanks, butler Zhu." Li Zhang quietly wiped the tears that were about to fall from his eyes.

When the butler saw him like this, he wanted to say `Young master, you're a man. Don't cry easily. But when he was met with Li Zhang's grateful eyes, these words got stuck in his throat.

"Young master, it's time to go."

"Okay."

After eating, the servant cleaned the table and the two set off. Li Zhang decided to take a nap since it was an hour away from their destination.
