Chapter 215

Theodore?

As she called out, Theodore stared at her for a few seconds, his drowsy eyes snapping back to reality, and he abruptly withdrew his hand.

Finally letting her go, Jiang You got out of bed and muttered to himself, "I wonder what kind of work they've assigned us today."

Theo sat mostly on the bed, his bright red hair hanging down over his pale skin. He propped his head up with his slender fingers, which were interlaced in his hair, as if he were still half asleep.

Seeing no response, Jiang You ignored him and lifted her shirt, revealing a ring of red marks around her stomach.

Ouch~, Theodore was holding her too tightly, and she could feel a slight pain.

Jiang You looked at the clothes for a while, then put them down and looked up to see Theodore had changed his posture, resting his cheek on one hand and looking at her stomach in silence.

Theodore's lazy appearance makes him look like a big cat, so cute, I want to go and pet him a couple of times.

Jiang You already considered Theodore a good friend, and said irritably, "What are you looking at? Your masterpiece."

Theodore paused for a second, then burst out laughing.

Jiang You, annoyed and angry, said, "You're still laughing?"

Theodore laughed more and more unrestrainedly, and Jiang You angrily pounced on him, pinning him down and tickling him.

I took the opportunity to pet the redhead. Ah, I petted a cat! Just like I imagined, it feels so nice.

A few seconds later, Theodore rolled over and pinned her down, his fingertips sliding across her waist.

"...Haha, it's so itchy," Jiang You lay on the bed, laughing uncontrollably and tilting his head back. He was so excited that an unnatural blush appeared on his face.

Like a giant pudding, Theodore swallowed hard, slowing his movements, really wanting to devour it in one bite.

Jiang You had been trying to counterattack, but the person sitting on her was too strong, a completely different feeling from playing around with Wang Lili.

She and Wang Lili were evenly matched, but now... the disparity in strength began to fill her with panic.

I don't like being suppressed to the point of having no power to resist. If I was just pretending to be angry at first, now I'm genuinely starting to get a little angry.

She looked up. Oh, Theodore is a woman. That's alright then.

Jiang You saw the clock on the wall: "Theodore, stop messing around, we're really late."

"Me, joking?" Theodore raised an eyebrow, his voice rising slightly at the end. "Trying to change the subject since you can't beat them?"

Speechless after being cornered by him, Jiang You simply closed her eyes and pretended to be dead. After Theodore said a few words, he ruffled her black hair into a mess and let her go.

Jiang You was certain that Theodore had discovered she had ruffled his hair and was retaliating!

Tch, you petty cat.

After being tickled, Jiang You felt closer to Theodore (←in his own opinion).

In the morning, Jiang You wore a pink dress with a white lace apron over it.

The castle operates like a factory, with those in darker clothes being superiors, and different colors of clothing representing different roles.

Blue represents the cleaning team, responsible for sweeping and wiping the carved wooden furniture and brass railings; green is the gardening team, pruning branches and leaves in the castle gardens; brown mainly handles moving supplies in the warehouse area...

The person in the pink uniform must be working in the kitchen.

According to Theodore, the foreman, Jiang You learned that they were usually responsible for washing and processing ingredients or baking pastries, but today they went to the orchard behind the castle to pick ripe fruit.

Jiangyou and Theodore, along with two others, form a group.

"My hands are so sore," Jiang You said, sitting on the ladder and handing the cut fruit to Theodore.
