"Knock knock knock..." Yue Lanxing was already knocking on the door. Xiao Nan didn't know who was outside, so she walked over and opened the door. "Butler Yue? What brings you here? Is something wrong?"
"I just saw Miss Xu Zhaoyue..." Yue Lanxing was much taller than Xiao Nan, so he could see Xu Zhaoyue's figure without Xiao Nan having to move aside.
Xu Zhaoyue was wiping away her tears, but her tear ducts were still out of her control, and she looked pitiful as tears streamed down her face. "Why is Miss crying?" Yue Lanxing subconsciously reached out to go in, but Xiao Nan stopped him.
"Oh, Miss is fine. She just ate something sour and her eyes started watering. How did you know?" Xiao Nan definitely couldn't let him in. Not only could she not let him in, but she also had to ask him why he came to knock on the door.
Seeing Xiao Nan looking at her warily, Yue Lanxing was about to explain when Xu Zhaoyue spoke up, "Finally, it's me. I saw him come back from the balcony just now, and I was about to wave hello when I stuffed a whole strawberry into my mouth."
"Otherwise, I should have tried a bite first, ugh!" Xu Zhaoyue complained as she walked from the balcony to the door.
After receiving the young lady's explanation, Yue Lanxing felt relieved. Whenever she had a moment to herself, she would unconsciously look at Xu Zhaoyue's face. Her eyes were still red from crying, and her heart, which had been at ease, began to pound wildly again.
"I'm fine now. You've been busy for so long and you're injured. You should take good care of yourself. I'll give you a day off tomorrow." Xu Zhaoyue thought giving you a day off was a great decision, but Yue Lanxing didn't think so.
Another day without seeing the young lady. Yue Lanxing didn't want to take a day off but didn't dare to refuse. "Thank you, young lady. I will take good care of my injuries."
Seeing that the young lady was alright, Yue Lanxing was about to turn and leave. Staying a little longer might give her two more days off, so she didn't really want to. "Young lady, please get some rest. I won't disturb you any longer."
As soon as Xiao Nan saw him step out of the room, she immediately closed the door and then pulled Xu Zhaoyue back to the bed. Even though it was just a few steps, Xu Zhaoyue felt like she had been kidnapped.
“Miss! Butler Yue is definitely up to no good!” Xiao Nan pressed on Xu Zhaoyue’s shoulder, looking very confident.
Xu Zhaoyue swayed her shoulders and thought for a while, then said, "He likes me." She said it so casually that if Xiao Nan hadn't heard her clearly, she would have thought they were discussing what to eat for breakfast the next day.
“That’s right, Miss is so smart, she must have noticed it long ago.” Xiao Nan was slightly surprised, but quickly accepted the reality. However, she became even more excited in the blink of an eye. “Now that Miss knows, she needs to understand one thing!”
"Go ahead," Xu Zhaoyue said, trying her best to cooperate with Xiaonan and find out what she wanted to say.
Xiao Nan watched as her mistress obediently listened to her, and inwardly screamed, "Such a wonderful mistress must be happy! If anyone dares to harm her or make her sad, I'll be the first to object!"
"Miss, you must know that he did his best to complete the tasks you assigned him. It was purely out of duty. Even if you had given the task to someone else, there would have been plenty of people eager to do it for you!" Xiao Nan said earnestly.
Xu Zhaoyue nodded, making sure she heard him. "I understand, I understand. And then?" She didn't quite understand the connection between her duty and Xiao Nan's excitement.
Seeing the puzzled look in her young mistress's eyes, Xiao Nan finally revealed the reason for her unusual behavior today: "Miss, you probably didn't see it, but when I opened the door just now, I saw his eyes, and he looked so worried. It's definitely not how a butler should act."
"Anyway, Xue Huzi and Tian Dai don't see Miss that way, and besides, he's usually so considerate!"
“Isn’t being considerate good?” Xu Zhaoyue retorted. Xiao Nan slapped her thigh and said, “Of course being considerate is good, but, Miss, don’t be fooled by him. I can tell he likes you, but he hasn’t confessed yet. What does that mean?”
Xu Zhaoyue didn't know the answer, but Xiao Nan continued, "It means that when he does these thoughtful things, he doesn't want to act as a pursuer at all. Even though it's his duty, everyone can see that he likes Miss, so they feel that he's working hard because he likes her."
“He used only one identity when he was supposed to do something with two identities. That’s called opportunism. Don’t be fooled by him, Miss. Don’t apply medicine to him. I think he’s just pretending to be pitiful. Anyone can apply medicine to him. There are so many servants here.”
Seeing Xiao Nan's disdainful expression, Xu Zhaoyue thought to herself that not just anyone could do it, but she said aloud, "Xiao Nan, you've really thought of everything! I didn't even consider that!"
"I understand what you mean. You're just afraid I'll be taken advantage of because I'm soft-hearted," Xu Zhaoyue concluded.
Xiao Nan blurted it all out with a burst of energy. The young lady listened attentively the whole time. "Yes, yes, Miss, we can't be fooled. We definitely can't not confess."
At this moment, Xu Zhaoyue thought she was so cute. She had never been in a relationship herself, yet she was worried that her mistress would be deceived because she was soft-hearted. She was able to explain the confusion about her identity. She should have known better than to let her drop out of school in the first place. At least she could have gotten a diploma from her mentor.
"Okay, I know. You really care about everything. I'll tell you as soon as he confesses to me, okay?" Xu Zhaoyue could tell she was a little drunk, and spoke in a tone that sounded like she was coaxing a child.
Xiao Nan was still relatively clear-headed. She shook her head and said, "No, he should have told me at least when he confessed. He should have asked me for advice on the scene setup and what flowers to choose. What does he know?"
Xiao Nan's indignant tone successfully amused Xu Zhaoyue. How could she still be dwelling on this? "Alright, alright, I'll ask you." Xu Zhaoyue coaxed her away, and the drinking was off.
