Chapter 20 Go to bed or...
The door opened, and Butler Xu's amiable face appeared inside. His butler uniform was still meticulously kept. Seeing that it was Ji Xia, he asked, "Master Ji, how can I help you?"
Ji Xia's eyes were curved, twinkling with stars. He looked more confident than usual. He said, "Grandpa Xu, can I come in and talk?"
Butler Xu nodded, turned sideways and made way.
Ji Xia flew into the housekeeper's room like a happy little bird.
He walked straight to the small sofa, placed the gift box on the sofa table, and then sat cross-legged on the carpet to start opening the gift box. When he opened the gift box, he found a small triangular cake that had been cut into pieces.
Ji Xia pushed a small cake in front of Butler Xu and said with a smile, "Grandpa Xu, thank you for accompanying me to the cafe last time. This is the small cake that grandma gave me for the charity dinner today. It's delicious. Come and try it."
Butler Xu also sat on the carpet beside Ji Xia and said calmly, "Thank you, Master Ji. Did you have fun tonight? Which grandmother gave you this little gift?"
Ji Xia was unpacking the package. When she heard the question, she recalled the scene of being questioned by Fu Su, and her beautiful brows furrowed.
He wrinkled his nose and said, "I wasn't very happy at first, but then Mr. Fu came and drove away the annoying people. I was still very happy at the auction afterwards. There were many things I had never seen before. The little cake was given to me by Grandma Qiu."
Butler Xu was a little surprised. "Young Master went to the charity dinner?"
Ji Xia nodded.
Butler Xu said, "A few years ago, an Omega unexpectedly went into heat, and the young master hasn't been there for many years. He must have known that Young Master Ji had gone, so he participated again."
Ji Xia felt that he did not have that much influence, and Mr. Fu probably went there just for the land.
Thinking of the land, he became excited and said, "Grandpa Xu, hey, let me tell you, I'm awesome. I helped Mr. Fu negotiate the land. Grandma Qiu gave Mr. Fu two boat tickets, and Mr. Fu is considering taking me along. I must be incredibly useful to Mr. Fu now!"
Butler Xu paused as he was opening the box, a look of surprise flashing across his face.
He asked, "What ticket?"
Ji Xia recalled. "I think it was called something like Royal... something..."
Butler Xu said, "The Royal Mona Lisa?"
Ji Xia nodded. "Yes, that's the name."
Steward Xu's face was slightly excited as he asked, "Young Master, have you agreed to board the ship?"
Ji Xia thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Fu took the boat ticket so he should be going, right?!"
Butler Xu's hands trembled slightly, and he paused for a long time before steadying his voice, but the rising ending of his tone still lacked his usual composure.
He asked, "Young Master, are you considering taking you on board?"
Ji Xia bit her fork and said shyly, "I've never been on a boat before, so I asked Mr. Fu to take me with him. But Mr. Fu is still considering whether he will take me with him."
Butler Xu showed a rare look of joy on his face.
He thought for a moment and suddenly said, "Master Ji, your first fever may occur before boarding the ship. Please do not use inhibitors."
Ji Xia's face flushed a little, and she asked in surprise, "Grandpa Xu, how did you know?"
He only found out about it after Dr. Chen reminded him.
Butler Xu said, "Master Ji, as the butler, I must be fully aware of the information of everyone who appears in the villa. I must be responsible for the safety of the young master."
Ji Xia suddenly realized that Butler Xu was very capable.
He said, "Dr. Chen has already explained it to me. Before the fever period, I will ask Mr. Fu to add a mark."
Butler Xu nodded. "Okay. Master Ji, thank you."
Ji Xia was a little confused by the thanks, but seeing the grateful look in Butler Xu's eyes, she swallowed the question she was about to ask.
He said, "I also want to thank Grandpa Xu for helping me last time. Grandpa Xu, please try it. This cake is really delicious."
Butler Xu took a bite, swallowed it, and suddenly said, "Mr. Qiu also likes sweets."
Ji Xia asked in confusion, "Who is Mr. Qiu?"
Butler Xu: "Young Master's Omega father. He passed away when he was five years old. Since then, Young Master has hated sweets."
Ji Xia was a little stunned because she didn't expect that this was the reason why Mr. Fu hated sweets.
Butler Xu: "Master Ji, ever since Mr. Qiu passed away, the young master has kept everything to himself and has become a bit obsessed with things. In the future, if the young master does anything wrong, I hope you can forgive him."
Ji Xia felt that it was impossible for Mr. Fu to have done anything wrong, and even if he had done something wrong, he didn't need his forgiveness at all.
But seeing Butler Xu's serious expression, he nodded seriously and said, "Okay, I'll criticize him."
Half an hour later, Ji Xia shared the cake with Butler Xu and happily jumped downstairs back to her room.
He rolled over on the big bed after brushing his teeth. He caught sight of the small wooden sign and remembered he had forgotten to give it to Mr. Fu. It was getting late today, so he planned to go find Mr. Fu tomorrow.
He just lay down on the pillow and closed his eyes, and the next second, he opened them again. He remembered that he had followed Mr. Fu back without saying hello to Dr. Chen.
Ji Xia immediately rolled from the middle of the bed to the side, grabbed his cell phone from the bedside table, and sent a message to Dr. Chen.
Dr. Chen responded to the video call almost instantly.
"Xia Xia, I'm so touched that you still remembered Dr. Chen, your tool, when your Mr. Fu was away. Don't worry, you're not missing and you're home safely."
Ji Xia felt a little hot at the tips of his ears and apologized quickly.
Chen Xi stopped joking and gossiped about what happened when he was called upstairs by Old Mrs. Qiu.
Ji Xia told him everything that had happened and asked, "Doctor Chen, who is Old Mrs. Qiu? What is her relationship with Mr. Fu?"
Chen Xi: "Mr. Fu didn't tell you?"
Ji Xia shook her head. "No."
Chen Xi said, "That's not the point. The point now is that you're about to board the ship with Alpha."
Ji Xia always felt that what Dr. Chen said was strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
He said, "It's not certain yet. Mr. Fu is still considering it."
Chen Xi promised, "If Mr. Fu decides to board the ship, he will definitely take you with him. So, there are some things you need to learn in advance."
Ji Xia had never been on a boat before. After hearing what he said, she felt that she really needed to understand what she needed to pay attention to and what to bring when going out to sea, so as to avoid being in a hurry when the time comes.
He asked, "Doctor Chen, what should I learn?"
Chen Xi said solemnly: "Wait, Doctor Chen will send you a few videos. Study them carefully before boarding the ship and be sure to watch them carefully."
Ji Xia promised to study hard.
After the video call was hung up, several videos popped up in the dialog box, and the video covers were all black.
Ji Xia sat up from the bed, put on an attitude of studying seriously, and clicked on the first video.
The first two seconds of the video were black, and then the screen flashed, revealing a young man lying on his side on the bed wearing only a white shirt. The young man had fair skin and hooked his finger at the camera.
Then, a sturdy man with dark skin and bare upper body appeared in the camera and walked towards the bed.
Ji Xia was completely confused. What was this learning?!
But the next second, he knew what the video was. It was some kind of short movie.
The ambiguous sounds of "hmmmm" and "ahhh" came out of the speaker. Ji Xia's face flushed red all the way to his neck. He squinted his eyes, not daring to look at the two people who had rolled together, and quickly exited the video.
After logging out, he immediately deleted the chat box with Dr. Chen, destroying all traces of his body, and glanced at the door guiltily. After completing these operations, his pounding heart finally calmed down.
Ji Xia couldn't believe that Dr. Chen actually sent him a pornographic movie. How could Dr. Chen's mind be filled with this?
He typed away on his phone, sending a message. "It's about getting on the boat, not going to bed."
Doctor Chen: "Xia Xia, you're already eighteen years old. You'll have to learn this sooner or later. Learn it sooner rather than later to avoid taking detours."
Ji Xia didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so she threw her phone away and went to bed.
The next morning, Ji Xia, who had done his job well and proved his worth, finally settled down in the Fu family's room and began to plan to open a stall with peace of mind.
He made ten cupcakes, ten boxes of tiramisu, and some bread. He took the simple folding table he bought online from Pinxixi, sat on the back seat of Butler Xu's electric scooter, and rushed to the planned stall location, a large supermarket plaza, around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Ji Xia set up a small table and handwritten advertising banners in the designated stall area, while Butler Xu helped to display the merchandise.
After everything was ready, Ji Xia said, "Grandpa Xu, you can go back first. I can take care of this. Thank you."
Butler Xu said, "You're welcome. It's just a small favor. Master Ji, give me a call when you're done and I'll come pick you up."
Ji Xia agreed.
There weren’t many people at the beginning, but as classes and get off work ended, more and more people flocked to the supermarket. As the number of people increased, business also came.
Ji Xia’s first order was from a beautiful Omega girl who bought two boxes of tiramisu. She smiled and said to Ji Xia, “The boss is so beautiful. If the food tastes good, she will definitely come again next time.”
Then I sold a few more cupcakes and some bread.
An aunt bought a box of bread and left. Because it tasted good, she came back and took a few more, praising Ji Xia for her delicious cooking.
Ji Xia's face turned red from the praise.
Around 11 o'clock in the evening, the number of people gradually thinned out, and Jixia's goods were almost sold out, with only some bread, two cupcakes and a tiramisu left.
The sales on the first day were good, and Ji Xia was very happy.
He was about to take out his phone to send a message to Butler Xu to pick him up when he heard someone shout "Xia Xia". He looked up and saw Xu Ancheng holding a bouquet of blue roses.
Xu Ancheng looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Xia Xia, you really surprised me! You actually experience life in such a difficult way. I like you even more."
Ji Xia: ………………………………
He didn't know how to respond, so he kept silent and sent a message to Butler Xu.
Xu Ancheng didn't care about his disregard and handed over the flowers in his hand. "Xia Xia, I have signed the contract with Fu's as promised. Please give me a chance to pursue you."
Ji Xia noticed the gazes from everyone around her and said awkwardly, "Mr. Xu, please don't be like this. I don't like you."
Xu Ancheng: "I won't give up. Xia Xia, you are my mermaid. I have been looking for you and finally found you. I will never give up."
Ji Xia realized that if he didn't explain things clearly to Xu Ancheng, he would not be able to run this business in the future.
He thought for a moment and said, "I'm not your mermaid. Your mermaid is Fu Su. I saw it that day, too."
Xu Ancheng refused to admit it. "Xia Xia, are you blaming me for mistaking you? Fu Su was really beautiful that day. I'm sorry I was deceived by him. But you have to allow me to make a mistake. I've been looking for you for too long."
Ji Xia had a headache. "Mr. Xu, I really don't like you, and I'm not your mermaid. Please don't bother me."
Xu Ancheng looked at his serious expression, and his eyes gradually became gloomy.
Ji Xia is his mermaid. He only has this one chance. If he misses it, it will be gone.
If the ocean is too vast for him to grasp, then let his mermaids live only in the crystal palace he built for them.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Unless you put on the mermaid costume and show it to me. If I don't feel anything, I won't bother you anymore."
