Chapter 32 The Young Master's Favorite

This injury caused Yun Chen to lie down for three months.

Huo Gannian didn't do any of the tasks of the fourth personal guard, but he did enjoy a lot of benefits.

Ye Yan pushed over an old wheelchair that Huo Gannian had used before and told Yun Chen to sit on it and move around so that he could take good care of his leg injury.

Yun Chen would push his wheelchair around the house every day, playing football with Buyan using the wheels.

She felt it was quite fresh at first, but soon she began to feel sorry for Huo Gannian.

The wheelchair was tiring and slow. She found it troublesome and inconvenient just because she couldn't move one leg, and she didn't know how depressed Huo Gannian must be if she couldn't move both legs.

When she said this to Ye Yan, Ye Yan laughed dryly twice.

"As long as you stop rubbing salt into the young master's heart and jumping into the gods, I feel that the young master can still hold on."

Yun Chen was bored after a long day and was tired from playing in his wheelchair. He lay on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, eating the "Four Girls" fruit that Buyan bought at the market while counting grains of barley.

Eight taels of monthly salary for a personal guard, plus ten taels of compensation for injuries. On the first day that Yun Chen was promoted to a personal guard, Hua Jue quickly went to the duty room to collect these for her, as well as a brand new set of personal guard uniforms.

Yun Chen hadn't seen so many silver grains for a long time. He counted them for a long time, divided them into three parts, and kept them separately.

When she felt better, Bu Yan came to her, chewing some fruit, and started talking to her:

"Achen, you will be a personal guard from now on. According to the rules of the mansion, you can be assigned a low-level guard to run errands, and you can also be assigned two gangs. You will be in charge of the affairs of the gangs and all the brothers. The bonuses during the New Year will also belong to you. When you are better, I will take you to handle these things personally.

By the way, don't you have a good brother named Xiaoliu? I asked around, and he's in charge of the cattle and sheep in the northwest. He's said to be a good worker, but he's a bit of a meat lover, devouring a whole sheep in three days. The sheep in the pen cry when they see him. The gang's manager has repeatedly told us that if he continues like this, we'll lose money. It's a good opportunity, why don't you just transfer Xiaoliu back? It'll be a promotion for him..."

Yun Chen thought this was a good suggestion. Xiaoliu had always wanted to do something big. If he was transferred to his side, he would have more opportunities to show up in front of Huo Gannian.

On the other side, Bu Yan was still chattering on, talking about Xiaoliu and his eighty-year-old grandmother, and then about his seventh uncle and the long history and legends of the Huo family.

On this side, Yun Chen said a few perfunctory "yeah", but he sensitively caught the key sentence in his unspoken words and quickly interrupted him:

"No words! What did you just say? What are the guards going to do?"

Buyan was stunned for a moment, flipping forward two pages in his mind before he remembered what he had just said.

"Yes, I just told you about the rules of the Huo Mansion. They were all set by the old master. The personal guards not only have to protect the master on duty, but also take care of the master's daily life. Therefore, before the personal guards are registered, they must be verified. From major skin diseases to minor moles on the body, they must be stripped naked for thorough inspection."

Yun Chen could no longer hear what Bu Yan said afterwards.

There was only one sentence in her mind:

"We need to strip naked and check clearly."

How could she, a virgin, take off all her clothes and check it out?

"Achen, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so bad?" Noticing that Yunchen's expression suddenly became abnormal, Buyan asked curiously:

"You're sweating so much? Are you nervous or too hot? Are you hot? Are your injuries hurting again? How about you untie the towel and let me take a look for you? Ah Chen, you..."

Thanks to Buyan's reminder, Yunchen was mentally prepared in advance.

But there is no difference between being prepared and not being prepared.

She couldn't think of a way to get away with it.

When her injuries were almost healed, the duty room came to inform her that all the registrations had been completed and only the physical examination was left, so they urged Yun Chen to go for the examination as soon as possible.

Yun Chen always made excuses such as "headache", "footache", "toothache" and so on. Although the on-duty room manager did not suspect anything, Yun Chen knew that this was not a solution.

She racked her brains day and night but couldn't come up with a single idea.

I wanted to find Yan Shijiu, that guy with so many tricks up his sleeve, but when I sent the message to Yanquetang, they said that Yan Shijiu had not returned for a long time.

That's right, since Yan Shijiu was able to save her at Yujia Wharf, it means that he must have left Donghai Longcheng and she doesn't know what he is busy with.

She thought and thought, and it was not until the night before she was supposed to resume her shift and take up her post as a personal guard that she came up with a bad idea.

That night, the steward of the duty room was sleeping soundly. In his drowsiness, he heard a faint voice ringing in his ears:

"Manager Yang!"

"Manager Yang——"

"Manager Yang..."

As if he had been possessed in a dream, Manager Yang was so frightened that he shuddered and opened his eyes in a daze. He saw a figure with disheveled hair squatting at the head of the bed. The dim candlelight illuminated a hideous face.

"Ah - ghost!!!!" Manager Yang's shrill scream echoed throughout the Huo Mansion in the middle of the night.

Yun Chen quickly covered Manager Yang's mouth and said guiltily:

"Manager Yang! It's me! Yun Chen!"

Manager Yang held his chest in shock, and tremblingly took out a bottle of Qingxin Pills from the bedside, and swallowed half of it in one breath.

"Guardian Yun...you, you, you're not sleeping so late at night, what are you doing?"

Yun Chen smiled ingratiatingly:

"I'm going to take up my post as a personal guard tomorrow, and I've never been able to come for a physical examination. I thought I'd be free now, so I came. Please examine me."

Manager Yang was so frightened that he lost his soul. His mind was in a mess and he had no idea that Yun Chen was free in the middle of the night. That was because everyone was free in the middle of the night!

He didn't have the energy to think about it, and just thought Yun Chen had some important errand to do tomorrow, so he got up, put on his coat, and followed Yun Chen to the duty room, saying:

"Okay, okay, take it off. I'll check your registration now."

Yun Chen quickly let his hair down a little more, then he hardened his heart, gritted his teeth, and unbuttoned his coat.

Manager Yang raised the candle to look and was immediately stunned.

Yun Chen wrapped himself tightly like a big dumpling.

From shoulders to thighs, she was wrapped in thick herbal cloth, leaving only two white arms and calves exposed.

Manager Yang was confused: "Guard Yun, your injury hasn't healed yet?"

Yun Chen laughed awkwardly with a guilty conscience:

"Um... Manager Yang, I said I'm practicing a unique body-protecting skill and can't remove this herbal cloth... Do you believe me?"

Believe it? No one will believe it! Yun Chen thought to himself.

But Manager Yang was stunned for a moment, then nodded:

"I believe it. I've heard that Guard Yun is very good at martial arts. It's spread all over the mansion. It's said that you can hold your breath underwater for a whole night."

…

Thanks to the brothers who love to exaggerate the gossip in the Huo Mansion! Yun Chen sighed.

In the dim candlelight, trying hard to resist sleepiness, Manager Yang checked Yun Chen's calves and forearms and registered them as qualified.

This "identification" was really perfunctory, but Manager Yang was so sleepy that he was confused and didn't understand what was going on.

Even if he woke up, he didn't want to care about it.

Yun Chen is now a favorite of the young master, so why offend him?
