Yu Qing, somewhat doubting her own ears: "?"

What was she saying?

She wanted to turn their golf course into what?

A pasture?

No, what did those two things even have in common?

...Just because they both have grass?

"That is what I was thinking. We could raise two cows, so we would have a source for our daily milk consumption."

Yu Qing: "..."

Did they even consume milk daily? She didn't even drink it, so where was this consumption coming from?

Xiang Changge: "Then, we can raise some Boer goats, Saanen goats, and sheep."

"Boer goats can be used for roasted whole lamb, and Saanen goats have a high milk yield, which can provide you with goat milk, Miss. Goat milk is rich in nutrients; I am sure you will like it."

Yu Qing: "..."

She wouldn't like it, thank you very much. Stop making things up out of thin air.

"As for the sheep, you can use them as toys, Miss. When you have nothing to do, you can go and shear their wool. Just thinking about it makes it seem very interesting."

"..."

Yu Qing couldn't take it anymore. She rolled over and glared at Xiang Changge, who was standing by her bed blowing at her like a floor fan.

A fan blows air, but Xiang Changge was blowing nothing but words she didn't want to hear.

"Are you crazy? Who wants to go shear sheep?"

Yu Qing was exasperated.

Staring at the face in front of her, Yu Qing was truly baffled.

Sometimes she really couldn't understand what was going on in the mind of this person, who was actually quite attractive.

Xiang Changge: "Don't you think shearing sheep is a great way to relieve stress?"

First, you secure the fluffy, woolly sheep, then you take the clippers and push—very quickly, a freshly shorn, bald sheep that's a size smaller is ready. Just thinking about it is fun.

Yu Qing replied without a second thought: "I don't!"

After saying that, she paused, thinking of something, and looked at Xiang Changge strangely: "Have you ever sheared a sheep?"

"No."

Xiang Changge answered honestly.

It was precisely because she hadn't that she thought it would be stress-relieving and fun.

Over the past two days, while she was using her phone to learn about this world, she had come across some related videos, which led to this idea.

Hearing her answer, Yu Qing understood.

All this talk about raising sheep for her to shear was clearly just her wanting to shear them for fun herself!

"Are you very bored?"

Yu Qing asked sincerely.

Xiang Changge shook her head, then, thinking of something, she nodded again.

Yu Qing: "..."

Was she bored or not?

Xiang Changge explained at the right moment: "As your butler, I certainly have many things to consider, but those matters will always take a backseat whenever you need me."

"So, if you have any business, or any ideas, please feel free to tell me at any time."

Yu Qing opened her mouth, a bit at a loss for words.

She said these things so lightly and straightforwardly, without caring at all about how the person listening might feel.

Didn't her words just mean that her own affairs were the most important? And she said it so circuitously, too.

Besides, she was her butler; wasn't that the most basic expectation?

Why did she have to say it out loud?

There were only the two of them in the room, and the person in front of her kept staring at her with those light-colored eyes. Yu Qing felt a bit uncomfortable and lowered her gaze.

The clothes ordered the day before yesterday had arrived quickly, with some being delivered one after another yesterday.

The outfit Xiang Changge was wearing today was one of the new ones.

A white shirt with an irregular square neckline, tucked into a light brown slim-fit skirt, with a slit in the back for ease of movement... it was a very intellectual and gentle outfit.

It suited Xiang Changge very well.

It diluted much of the aggressive, wild aura she originally carried; it just, well, it gave her a very sisterly vibe.

Even though she was only a few months older than her.

Touching her slightly burning earlobes, Yu Qing calmed her mind. She felt she had to find something for Xiang Changge to do to keep her from bothering her every single day, or else she would just spend her time slacking off while on the clock.

"You... since you're so free, why don't you go get some certifications?"

Yu Qing couldn't sleep anymore. She sat up and leaned against the headboard, speaking to Xiang Changge.

"Get some certifications?"

Xiang Changge looked a bit puzzled.

Are the requirements for working here this high now?

Do you have to get this and that certified even after being hired?

Yu Qing nodded.

She had thought about this before—why not just tell Xiang Changge to go get certified? That way, she definitely wouldn't have time to annoy her.

Since she couldn't fire her, couldn't she at least mess with her? After all, she was the employer, wasn't she?

She had to make her go get some difficult certifications.

Yu Qing thought for a moment: "Get a pilot's license, for a helicopter will do."

As she said this, Yu Qing found a good excuse for herself: "That way, when I want to go for a spin in the sky, I won't have to hire anyone else."

Xiang Changge nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this: "Anything else?"

Anything else?

One certification wasn't enough for her to study for?

Yu Qing blinked.

But since the other party had asked, she certainly had to continue.

She had the sky covered, and for the ground... she should already have a driver's license, so how about something for the water?

"Then go get a boat license, the kind for yachts and such... let's just start with those two." She couldn't think of any more for the time being.

Xiang Changge wrote it all down and thoughtfully confirmed it with Yu Qing: "So, Miss would like to go for a helicopter ride recently, as well as go to the seaside?"

Yu Qing, who only wanted to get rid of her: "...Yes."

Just pretend she wanted to.

Yu Qing bit the bullet and gave a vague response.

Xiang Changge analyzed: "Indeed, the weather has been nice lately. Whether it's going to the seaside or taking a spin in the sky, those are both excellent ideas."

Think what you want, she thought. Anyway, once she leaves, I can finally have some peace. Having dealt with the annoying person, Yu Qing's gaze began to drift.

Xiang Changge: "There's no time like the present, so let's go today."

"The seaside is a bit far—but that's fine, we can go for a spin in the air first."

Yu Qing, eyes going blank: "?"

What on earth?

Xiang Changge glanced at the watch on her wrist: "Then please get ready, Miss. I'll go tell someone to check the family's helicopter, and we'll depart in an hour."

Yu Qing snapped back to reality.

Her eyes clear and startled, she looked at Xiang Changge, sitting bolt upright: "Depart? Go where? No, I was asking you to go get certified..."

She didn't mean she wanted to go out and play. What was there to do outside? She just wanted to lie in her bed.

"Didn't Miss say you wanted to go for a spin? I already have those certifications, so we can go right now."

Xiang Changge gave Yu Qing a reassuring smile, though to Yu Qing, it felt more like a provocation.

"I have said before, whatever other butlers can do, I can do as well, and what they cannot do, I can also do. I am an all-around butler; please feel free to order me as you wish, Miss."

Looking at Xiang Changge's smile, Yu Qing was stunned.

No, why would she have those certifications?

Thinking this, Yu Qing asked exactly that.

Xiang Changge: "Taught at the butler academy."

"As you know, a qualified butler must be able to do everything."

Xiang Changge's tone was calm, her entire being exuding a sense of composure from the inside out. The Plot Revision System, which had just helped her speed-run those pilot and yacht licenses, thought: "..."

Forget it, it didn't deserve to have a name.

And Yu Qing wanted to say that she, in fact, did not know.

"Then please get ready, Miss. As for the matter of the golf course, you can consider that as well. I will wait for you downstairs."

With that, Xiang Changge prepared to head out.

Yu Qing, who only wanted to find something for Xiang Changge to do but ended up finding trouble for herself: "!" No way, she didn't want to go for a spin at all, let alone in the sky.

"Wait!"

Yu Qing hurriedly called out to the figure that was already turning its back on her.

As Xiang Changge stopped in her tracks and turned back to look at her, a somewhat guilty Yu Qing let her gaze drift vaguely toward the quilt at the foot of the bed: "You don't have to wait for me..."

Yu Qing wanted to say that she didn't want to go at all, but when she had just told Xiang Changge to go and take these certification exams, the reason she gave was that she wanted to go; if she said that now, she would be contradicting herself.

Before Xiang Changge could ask why, Yu Qing stammered out an excuse: "It's too rushed today, let's talk about it next time."

"Is it rushed?"

Yu Qing didn't see that the person not far away was watching her with a knowing look, though she insisted verbally: "It's nothing, everyone in this house is here to serve you, Miss. You only need to do whatever it is you want to do."
