Chapter 242
Chapter 242
Noise occasionally came from the corridor.
The banging sounds set one’s teeth on edge.
Outside was chaos. Inside was spring.
Yun Youyou lay in bed and closed her eyes without a care.
Soon, even breathing filled the room.
Youth was wonderful. She fell asleep instantly!
Morning arrived.
Warm sunlight touched Yun Youyou’s rosy face. Her long curled lashes trembled, and her beautiful profile resembled an angel.
Once she woke, however, she would become a devil.
The Game complained silently.
Yun Youyou opened her eyes sleepily.
She sensed someone cursing her.
Before rising, she sneezed twice.
“Achoo! Achoo!”
Yun Youyou rubbed her nose.
As the saying went, one sneeze meant someone missed you, two meant someone cursed you, and three meant someone longed for you.
Someone was definitely cursing her behind her back.
Yun Youyou slowly surveyed the room.
“Game, were you cursing me?”
[…]
The Game played dead.
When it did not answer, Yun Youyou snorted and went about her business.
After washing up, she opened the door.
The maid outside had not expected it and stumbled forward.
She had come to remove Madam’s handcuffs.
Yun Youyou reacted quickly, catching the maid’s waist with one hand and steadying her with the other.
Was this not the classic domineering-CEO pose?
Yun Youyou’s CEO soul ignited.
Supporting the maid, she curled her lips wickedly.
“Girl, you couldn’t wait to throw yourself into my arms.”
Yun Youyou shook her head helplessly.
“What am I going to do with you? Fine. I’ll reluctantly let you hug me.”
The maid: …
Am I crazy, or is the world crazy?
Blushing, the maid awkwardly withdrew.
“M-Madam… this isn’t appropriate.”
Yun Youyou braced one hand against the wall, pinning the maid there.
With her back to the sun, golden light outlined her figure.
Her delicate face and alluring gaze would make any ghost blush and set their heart racing.
The maid’s face turned bright red.
“M-Madam… then please be gentle…”
“Gentle with what?”
The neighboring door flew open.
Su Gou stepped out.
Seeing Yun Youyou’s position with the maid, his eyes nearly popped out.
“W-what are you doing?”
He nearly bit his tongue.
Yun Youyou looked perfectly serious.
“As you can see, we’re engaging in emotional communication.”
Su Gou fell silent.
He looked at Yun Youyou, then the maid.
They still held the wall-pin pose.
After some thought, Su Gou told the maid, “Leave. I’ll replace you.”
Yun Youyou: …
The maid: …
This kid was quick.
Yun Youyou cleared her throat and withdrew her hand.
She patted the maid’s shoulder.
“Go work.”
The maid: …
As she left, the maid actually felt regretful.
It was all that annoying man’s fault.
The maid glared at Su Gou.
Guiltily, he looked away and pretended not to notice.
The maid eventually left.
Su Gou raised his head and feigned indifference. “About yesterday…”
“Good morning, Youyou.”
The Vampire appeared from nowhere and walked between them.
Standing over six feet tall, he completely blocked Su Gou.
Su Gou: My fists are itching!
“Youyou, let’s have breakfast.”
“Sure.”
Yun Youyou missed soy milk and fried dough sticks.
The two ghosts headed toward the stairs.
Before leaving, the Vampire gave Su Gou a provocative smile.
Walking ahead, Yun Youyou noticed nothing.
Su Gou nearly died of anger.
What a scheming bitch, pulling so many little tricks!
One day I’ll expose your true face before everyone!
In the first-floor dining room, Fu Yiming and Doctor Lan were already seated.
The three later arrivals obediently took their places.
Su Gou frowned at the table.
“Why does this table look wrong?”
A normal table reached his chest. Why did this one reach only his knees?
Su Gou was not alone in thinking something was wrong.
Doctor Lan and the Vampire noticed too.
Fu Yiming and Yun Youyou exchanged a look.
Only they knew the truth.
The chef rang a bell, and attendants began serving.
One by one, they brought plates over.
As usual, they placed all the breakfast in the middle.
Yun Youyou wondered whether to borrow another knife.
Before she spoke, another genius appeared.
Su Gou looked disdainfully at the food.
He beckoned a maid over.
“Bring me a vacuum cleaner.”
The maid: …
One meal required binoculars, a huge knife, and now a vacuum cleaner.
Were they renovators or a demolition crew?
Yun Youyou had not expected the genius to be beside her.
The Vampire frowned.
“Can you eat food sucked up by a vacuum?”
Su Gou shrugged. “I won’t. You will.”
The Vampire: …
Su Gou raised his brows smugly.
A gentleman always repaid a grudge.
Fu Yiming had experience now.
He produced the huge knife he had prepared.
Clang! The table sank again.
Su Gou, Doctor Lan, and the Vampire: …
Now they knew how the table had broken.
Seeing Yun Youyou and Fu Yiming remain calm, the three Young Masters swallowed their surprise.
People once chopped wood before cooking. What was wrong with chopping a table before eating?
The five hacked away wildly.
By the end of breakfast, the table had no legs.
Looking at the ankle-high tabletop, Yun Youyou calmly looked away.
Excellent. They could eat lying down from now on.
Fu Yiming lowered his head and sipped coffee.
[Ding! Player task unlocked.]
[Find the white moonlight in your heart and win his affection.]
Fu Yiming choked on his coffee.
“Cough, cough…”
White moonlight?
He set down the cup.
“Isn’t Yun Youyou my white moonlight?”
The Game said, [No. Someone else is your white moonlight.]
[Yun Youyou is merely a substitute. Your white moonlight went abroad to study. Unable to forget him, you found a substitute and locked her up for kicks.]
Fu Yiming could not comprehend this tangled relationship.
