"If we can't wear them now, we can make them wearable more often, right?" Xu Zhaoyue looked at Yue Lanxing again and pointed him in a direction, but judging from his expression, he didn't understand what she meant.
However, Yue Lanxing fully utilized her strengths of diligence and inquisitiveness, asking, "Then how can we avoid wasting resources?"
"Even though I said it, you'd better think of a way." Xu Zhaoyue shrugged, looking more cute and playful than when she was sitting upright. "Do you want me to teach you step by step?"
"Okay, Miss, I'll think of a way." Yue Lanxing nodded, indicating that she would consider it.
Xiao Nan's gaze was so intense that Xu Zhaoyue couldn't resist it. "Alright, you can go now. Remember to go to the restaurant for lunch. Or, you can just go to the kitchen and tell Aunt Wu to make a Western meal for two for lunch."
"Yes, Miss." Yue Lanxing stood up. Xu Zhaoyue only felt a shadow above her head, but it quickly disappeared. Xiao Nan instinctively moved to the side. If there was a reason, it was because she felt that Yue Lanxing had changed from Doubao to Qingying.
She felt very friendly when she was next to the young lady, but as soon as she stood up and walked next to her, she felt like she could punch three people at once. Yue Lanxing had already left the room, but Xiao Nan still couldn't figure it out.
"Which three sets? Let me see." Xu Zhaoyue turned the chair back to face the mirror.
"Oh, these three sets, please come in." Xiao Nan was finally relieved to let the people in. She placed the first set on the dressing table. "This set is of the glass variety, and the carved pattern is water lilies..."
"The third set is jadeite. The necklace and earrings are all round, which feels a bit monotonous, but the bracelet has an intricate openwork design," Xiaonan explained one by one.
Xu Zhaoyue put all three bracelets on her wrists. "This openwork one looks better. Let's go with this set. The cheongsam has a high collar, so let's keep the necklace understated. And let's change the earrings to the semi-transparent ones."
Yue Lanxing went to the kitchen and told Wu Ma about making Western food. After Wu Ma understood the situation, she agreed.
"Brother!" Yue Xuanxuan was waiting for Yue Lanxing at the corner. "I heard everything you said in the kitchen. Do you want to die sooner or later?" Yue Xuanxuan was really impressed with her brother. He knew that he was allergic to most women, but he still agreed to have dinner with Xu Zhaoyue.
"What are you saying here? Let's go to my room first." Yue Lanxing looked around and, finding no one else, led Yue Xuanxuan back to her room.
"Brother, tell me the truth, why did you agree to have dinner with Xu Zhaoyue? Couldn't you have found a reason to refuse?" Yue Xuanxuan was determined to get a definite answer from Yue Lanxing this time.
Yue Lanxing naturally didn't want to refuse. "Don't worry, nothing will happen. Isn't Western food served individually? It's just a meal. Shouldn't I, as a bodyguard, protect Miss at all times?"
"Just having a meal? If you touch a woman's saliva, you'll end up in the hospital! Do you want to be a bodyguard? You can't be with her..." Yue Xuanxuan didn't finish her sentence, but she believed Yue Lanxing knew what she meant.
"It's just about protecting her, that's all!" Yue Xuanxuan's question made Yue Lanxing realize once again that if he really fell in love with the young lady, their social status would be the smallest obstacle between them.
Yue Lanxing took a deep breath and said slowly, "I've accepted my fate. My illness is incurable. The allergy medication I'm taking is just a temporary fix. But I won't die, so don't worry."
"Yes, you won't die! You even vomited blood last time and you still didn't die." Yue Xuanxuan was so angry that her teeth itched, but ultimately she was worried about Yue Lanxing. No one wants to see their loved ones do something reckless.
Seeing that she was still angry, Yue Lanxing didn't want to argue with her. "Everyone dies eventually. Haven't you and Mother already come to terms with that?"
"We had no choice! But can't we at least try to avoid it as much as possible?" Yue Xuanxuan looked into Yue Lanxing's eyes, and they were very calm, so she knew she couldn't persuade him.
"Fine, I won't be angry with you anymore. I'll just wait until something happens to you and take you to the hospital." Yue Xuanxuan turned and left, leaving Yue Lanxing alone in the room.
Yue Lanxing had long since come to terms with his illness. If it were curable, he would have been cured long ago. Why had he been so cautious for over twenty years? He calmed himself down. There was still the finishing touches on the recliner outside. He had promised the young lady yesterday that he could finish it today, and he couldn't break his promise.
And so, Yue Lanxing appeared in the backyard as if nothing had happened and continued working, unaware that the brother and sister had spoken.
Noon arrived quickly. When Xu Zhaoyue came downstairs, she saw Yue Lanxing already waiting downstairs. "Miss, the recliner will be ready this afternoon, and then it can be moved to your bedroom."
“Great! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such efficiency. Every time I get something done abroad, I have to go through a whole bunch of procedures.” Xu Zhaoyue walked to the dining table. “Please pull out my chair.”
The training began. Yue Lanxing stepped forward and pulled the chair back a bit. "It's too big. Put it back a little more." Xu Zhaoyue taught her step by step, from sitting down to taking out the napkin.
After serving the meal, Aunt Wu explained how to cut the steak and how to use the knife and fork. Even Xiao Nan watched with envy, as not everyone could enjoy such a personal instruction from the young lady.
"When I chat with Xiaoyun tomorrow, can you ask her about her boyfriend? You can decide what to ask." Xu Zhaoyue's hands moved quickly and steadily as she cut the steak.
"Yes, Miss." Yue Lanxing readily agreed, though her movements were a little slow at first. After a few tries, she became familiar with the movements; she was indeed quick to learn.
