Chapter 85

"Young Master, what are you thinking about?"

Yao Shi drew back the curtain, tidied the potted plants placed by the window, and asked softly.

The young master has been staring blankly for several minutes now. Is he still asleep or is there something else going on?

"Huh? No, I was just spacing out."

Yao Shi's words brought Wu Liang, who had been lost in thought, back to reality.

Watching Yao Shi's retreating figure, Wu Liang rubbed his temples.

He knew Ning Shuang and the others much better than Yao Shi, which made him feel somewhat sorry for Yao Shi.

Even though Yao Shi was the closest person to him, his memory of Yao Shi was completely blank.

"Milutin has already arranged the leave for you, so you can rest at home today."

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for my cooking, young master, you wouldn't have..."

Yao Shi lowered her head and looked at Wu Liang apologetically.

Although the young master told her not to think about what happened last night, she didn't want to think about it.

Seeing the young master's haggard appearance always made her feel terrible.

"It's okay. Didn't I say I just need to rest? You don't need to worry about this kind of thing."

"Don't leave yet, I have a few questions I'd like to ask you."

Seeing that Yao Shi wanted to apologize to him again, Wu Liang shook his head helplessly.

Yesterday's events seem to have dealt a very serious blow to Yao Shi, which explains why Yao Shi feels so guilty.

However, on the other hand, if an ordinary person ate that kind of thing, it probably wouldn't be something that could be resolved with just one day of rest.

Even with his current abnormal physical condition, he was completely defeated by Yao Shi's cooking. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably have been sent to the hospital.

"Young master, please speak."

After wiping the windowsill clean, Yao Shi walked over slowly and stood quietly beside Wu Liang.

What are your thoughts on Milutin?

Wu Liang stroked his chin. Milutin gave him the impression of being a very lively maid.

The other person is similar to Ning Shuang in some ways, but also different in some ways.

Milutin is more fiery and unrestrained than Ning Shuang, like a blazing flame that evokes a passionate feeling.

The other person easily blends in with others, something Yao Shi could never do, so...

"Reckless, careless, and lacking in manners."

Yao Shi spoke coldly and without hesitation.

She had seen everything the other party did; Milutin was arguably the most troublesome maid.

Her usual carefree manner is a disgrace to the young master; she has absolutely no sense of responsibility as a maid.

The word "elegance" has absolutely nothing to do with Milutin; the rude Milutin is like a savage.

Especially when she was with the young master, Milutin's attitude towards him was not that of a maid.

"Wow, that's really strict."

Wu Liang looked at Yao Shi, who had a serious expression, and smiled awkwardly.

Unexpectedly, Milutin was so despicable in Yao Shi's eyes, but what Yao Shi said was indeed true.

Milutin certainly doesn't seem like a maid, and making her a maid would be a bit of an insult to her.

"I'm just stating the facts."

Yao Shi closed her eyes and spoke softly, as if she didn't want to mention Milutin anymore.

If Milutin hadn't caused trouble here earlier, how could she have disturbed the young master's rest?

However, Yao Shi also bears half the responsibility for the fight between her and Milutin.

"Could you tell me about Milutin's strengths?"

Wu Liang coughed a few times. Surely Milutin wasn't being belittled to the point of being worthless.

Yao Shi really doesn't know how to give Milutin any face. At least say something good about him, right?

Does she have any good points?

Yao Shi turned her head and asked in return.

"Um?"

Wu Liang was stunned. If you asked him to list Milutin's good points...

Hmm... thinking about it carefully, I really can't think of any good points about Milutin... after all, I've only known her for a few days...

In Wu Liang's memory, Milutin was always a whirlwind, always causing trouble for him.

It's also possible that he hasn't had much contact with Milutin yet, so he doesn't know her very well.

"She's a good driver, quite skilled."

After thinking for a long time, Wu Liang suddenly blurted out this sentence.

It seems that this is the only way he can praise Milutin, since so far, almost every time Milutin has appeared, he has only caused him trouble.

The only thing he could praise was Milutin's driving skills; as the other person said, Milutin was indeed an expert when it came to driving.

To be able to drift in such a congested and jammed situation, besides Milutin, probably only Takumi Fujiwara's father could do it.

"Young Master, do you think this is an advantage?"

Yao Shi stared coldly at Wu Liang, wondering why the young master would suddenly bring up Milutin's matter with her.

However, having only been in contact with the young master for a few days, why is Milutin so important to him?

"Hmm... I guess so..."

The premise is that Milutin can obey traffic rules and not be so reckless.

Wu Liang muttered to himself.

"Ha... so what do you mean by asking these questions, young master...?"

Seeing that Wu Liang's words were far-fetched, Yao Shi sighed helplessly.

She could tell that the young master had something to say, and she could also tell that he was hesitant.

"Actually, I feel that Yao Shi, you don't have any friends besides me."

"Milutin has been active around us lately. Although she's a bit crazy on weekdays, that doesn't mean she's not capable."

"She is a very lively and enthusiastic person. I think you two might be able to become friends."

Wu Liang stood up and said calmly, "Yao Shi is very smart; she will naturally understand what I mean."

Although Yao Shi seems cold and aloof all the time, Yao Shi is still a human being with feelings.

He hoped that Yao Shi could make new friends instead of being bound by him alone.

However, it is naturally very difficult to become friends with Yao Shi, as very few people can accept such a cold person as Yao Shi.

But Milutin was different; Milutin himself was a dazzling and radiant person, like a flame.

Milutin and Yao Shi happen to be his maids. Although the two have very different personalities, they also have a lot in common.

Especially Milutin, whose personality is completely opposite to Yao Shi's and complements her perfectly.

Becoming friends with Milutin wouldn't be a bad thing for Yao Shi.

"I only need the young master by my side; I don't need anyone else."

Yao Shi didn't say much, after all, for her, having the young master by her side was enough.

Her duty was to take care of the young master, and she didn't need to have much contact with others.

For her, "friend" was just a word; it wasn't anything particularly important.

"Making some friends will make your life a little more interesting, and I also hope that you can make some new friends."

"How about this, you, Milutin, and I will go out for a walk together this afternoon. No refusals allowed."

Wu Liang snapped his fingers; Yao Shi's rigid personality was unlikely to change in a short time.

Therefore, he did not intend for her to accept Milutin in a short period of time; it would take time and patience.

Yao Shi is not a machine; she has feelings. Even if she can't accept it in the short term, Yao Shi will open her heart sooner or later.

It's only a matter of time, and Wu Liang also has a premonition that that day is not far off.

"Young Master? Are you really planning to go out with Milutin?"

Yao Shi was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, as she had assumed that the young master wouldn't take Milutin's matter to heart.

So the young master has already made up his mind so quickly? He clearly wasn't in a good mood today.

"Of course, as the master, I must also fulfill the maids' requests."

"Besides, I also hope that you and Milutin can get along well, after all, I see that you two are quite close on a daily basis."

Wu Liang stretched vigorously, thinking, "That's about it for now."

Actually, he quite liked Milutin, even though the other woman was indeed a bit reckless and impulsive.

But Milutin added a lot of fun to his life after he came into this world.

Milutin did not make him uncomfortable; on the contrary, he made life less boring than before.

In a sense, he even has to Milutin for making his life so exciting.

"Alright, if that's what you wish for, young master."

"However, my relationship with Milutin is not as good as you think, young master."

Yao Shi covered her forehead and sighed heavily. Had the young master misunderstood something?

Her relationship with Milutin was merely that of a superior and subordinate, or at most, a master-apprentice relationship in the field of cooking.

"I'm really looking forward to going out this afternoon. Oh, by the way, you're not allowed to wear maid outfits this afternoon. I don't want to attract too much attention."

As if remembering something, Wu Liang added, "We absolutely cannot let Yao Shi and Milutin wear maid outfits on the street."

He could roughly imagine how crazy that scene would be, so such shameful play involving maid outfits should be absolutely prohibited.

Chapter 24: The Rat's Confession (Bonus Chapter 5/32 for Monthly Tickets)

"What? The boss took leave?"

The Rat stared blankly at the Nan Zhu was lying in front of his table.

Where did this kid hear the news? Why did the boss suddenly take leave again?

Could it be that the boss's hidden injury was caused by the fact that his injuries had not fully healed, coupled with the trouble caused by Di Yue's gang yesterday?

"What nonsense are you thinking? Wu Liang just has an upset stomach."

"I just ran into Teacher Ye. She told me that Wu Liang's family called and said that he had an upset stomach yesterday."

Nan Zhu, utterly bored, lay on the Rat's table, drawing circles.

Ah, how boring. He's gotten used to being around Wu Liang now.

As a result, Wu Liang is not at school now, and I always feel bored being alone.

Besides, he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but it seemed that following Wu Liang always brought him many interesting things.

"Oh, so it was just an upset stomach. I never thought that our brave leader would be defeated by food."

The Rat, too, was resting its chin on its hand and muttering to itself.

The fact that a leader who single-handedly took down more than twenty people could be defeated by mere food shows that his stomach is exceptionally fragile.

(Wu Liang, resting at home: Achoo... I suspect someone is talking bad about me...)

"Ah, it's so boring when the boss isn't around."
