"Young master, are you satisfied with this house?"
The agent explained with a smile.
The courtyard is dotted with several houses, their windows intricately carved, letting in dappled light and shadow. Inside, the air is filled with the fragrance of books and the gentle strains of music, creating a scene reminiscent of a secluded paradise, imbued with a timeless charm.
There is a small river in front of the courtyard, ancient trees in the courtyard, and bamboo groves and small hills behind the courtyard.
Bai Yumo's bright, expressive eyes darted around as she skipped and hopped about, looking around as if she were already at home.
"Great, this is it."
Chi Musheng nodded in satisfaction. If he couldn't go home, spending his life in a place like this would be quite leisurely and carefree.
"Young master, this is one of the best houses in Mo City. It's a bit pricey, but the price is a flat five thousand taels, no bargaining."
The real estate agent held up five fingers, a hint of embarrassment on his face.
"Can"
This time, Chi Musheng did not negotiate the price because the house was indeed worth the price.
He took out a five thousand tael silver note and handed it to the broker.
The real estate agent, his eyes gleaming with greed, counted the money and, after confirming that nothing was missing, handed the property deed to Chi Musheng.
"Young master, this is the house deed. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
The middleman left the courtyard excitedly. He could get a commission of 100 taels out of 5,000 taels. He was rich! He was rich! It was a year's salary.
After the real estate agent left, Bai Yumo put her hands behind her back, hopped in front of Chi Musheng, leaned forward slightly, tilted her head and smiled.
"Young master, is this our home from now on?"
This smile stunned Chi Musheng for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses. It seemed like he hadn't truly laughed in a long time.
It was mostly a pretense, but even he, as the young master, didn't laugh. Why would a maid like you laugh so happily? Let him cry.
He raised his hand and flicked Bai Yumo on the head, emphasizing it.
"Please be mindful of your wording: This is my home, not yours."
"Okay, I understand."
Bai Yumo covered her head, looking aggrieved.
You stinky Sheng Sheng, you two-faced jerk. She's yours, and what's yours is naturally hers too.
You just take advantage of her liking you to bully her.
However, Chi Musheng, whose heart was as hard as steel, ignored Bai Yumo's opinion, turned around and sat on the stone bench, and gave instructions.
"Good to know. Regardless of your past status, a maid should act like a maid. Go boil some water and make me some tea."
"???"
Bai Yumo's cheeks puffed out. "You stinky Sheng Sheng, you really treat me like a maid, don't you?"
"Can't understand!"
Chi Musheng's tone gradually became serious; a disobedient kitten always needs to be disciplined.
"knew"
Bai Yumo bit her lip and turned to boil water.
You stinky Sheng Sheng, one day you'll pay the price for your actions.
As dusk settled, Chi Musheng remained expressionless, sitting on the stool and gazing silently at the starry sky.
Some people say that the meaning of life only begins when your parents have passed away, and you are still unmarried and living alone.
But is this the beginning of new life, or a testament to decay?
"Young master, the tea is here."
Bai Yumo placed the brewed tea on the stone table.
"Um"
Chi Musheng responded softly, picked up the teacup, and savored the taste.
As he savored the food, he gave a twitching laugh. A twenty-year-old man had somehow managed to live the life of an elderly person in their twilight years.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
Bai Yumo asked with some concern.
In just one day, she noticed that Chou Shengsheng seemed to have changed.
If before January, Chou Shengsheng was a smiling sunflower, now she's a withered iris.
"fine"
After giving a brief reply, Chi Musheng put down his teacup, sighed deeply, and looked on with a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Having lost his goals and the meaning of life, he seemed to have become lost.
Just as he was feeling utterly exhausted, a soft body pressed against his back, two fair arms wrapped around him, draped across his chest, and moved down to his abdominal muscles.
"No, don't be unhappy, young master. I'll always be with you, for the rest of my life."
Bai Yumo's sweet voice echoed in Chi Musheng's ears, like the coquettish murmur of a neighbor's younger sister.
"hehe"
Chi Musheng rolled his eyes at Bai Yumo, who was clinging to him.
Your company is definitely not just for show; in just one day of knowing each other, this cat-eared girl has already deliberately seduced her three times.
Even for some outgoing girls, this is a bit too much.
If we set aside all the impossibilities, then the most improbable thing is the answer.
He reached out and grabbed Bai Yumo's cat ears, pulling her into his arms.
Bai Yumo, who was originally touching his abs, was almost startled by this violent behavior, but he quickly recovered.
Would that stinky Sheng Sheng be planning to do something indecent to her? Although, but no, that's not right.
Bai Yumo nestled in Chi Musheng's arms, her face flushed with shyness, as if she were anticipating something.
However, it turned out that she was overthinking it.
Chi Musheng simply placed his hand on her ear and rubbed it playfully.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Are her ears more fun than her whole cat?
Why only play with her ears? This was the first time Bai Yumo had questioned her own appearance, and the first time she had felt dissatisfied with her ears.
She was both ashamed and angry. That clueless, unromantic girl, she thought, "They've already offered themselves up for me to play with, what more do they want?"
Do you expect someone to be on top voluntarily?
Having just been drained of all her energy a couple of days ago, Chi Musheng has entered a state of sagehood these past two days. Coupled with her unwavering heart that has already undergone countless trials, how could she possibly be aroused by a little trick?
But petting cats is a different story.
..................... Half an hour later
Bai Yumo said resentfully.
"Young master, why don't you massage other areas?"
You won't stop until you've rubbed her ears bald, huh?
Upon hearing this, Chi Musheng pinched the cat ears and teased.
"Or, you could turn into a kitten and let me pet you, that would be fine too."
"Cannot be changed"
Bai Yumo crossed her arms, pouted, and sulked. "Try to transform into a cat! If I do, I'll give myself away."
"If you can't change, then get out."
Chi Musheng threw Bai Yumo directly out of his arms.
Bai Yumo, who was inexplicably thrown out, stared at Chi Musheng with shock, anger, and grievance, suppressing all kinds of emotions, and she gritted her teeth in frustration.
She really wanted to sit on him and kill him. This heartless, ungrateful bastard, he just used her and then threw her away!
The culprit, Chi Musheng, calmly took a sip of tea.
"Go, fetch me a basin of water to wash my feet."
"Understood, young master!"
Bai Yumo bit each one very hard, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction.
If you want a cat to run away, you have to feed it some meat. But what's the meaning of your half-hearted attempt?
Chi Musheng glanced at Bai Yumo's departing figure, a smile playing on his lips. He wanted to see how long this silly little cat could keep up the act.
If he wasn't sure before, he was now 100% sure, because only Little White, that timid cat, would subconsciously touch his abs just now.
