Chapter 2 He seems to have misunderstood.
Lin Xi turned around and looked back. Another man had come in with Shen Yan. The man's clothes looked familiar: a white shirt and white trousers. It seemed to be the same man she had just met in the elevator.
No wonder he didn't press the elevator button; it turns out he came to the same place as her.
When Song Xu saw Lin Xi's face clearly, she was indeed as he had thought—a pretty young woman, looking somewhat immature, with a small beauty mark at the corner of her left eye that was very captivating.
He walked up to Lin Xi, his eyes cold. "Are you an adult?"
“I’m already eighteen years old,” Lin Xi said, handing her ID card to Song Xu. “Although this is my first time doing this, I will definitely do it seriously.”
"First time?" Song Xu returned the ID card to Lin Xi and raised an eyebrow as he asked.
Lin Xi nodded sincerely, "Yes, if you are satisfied, I hope we can cooperate long-term, two or three times a week is fine, and the price can also be discussed."
"You want a long-term partnership?" Song Xu crossed his arms and asked with amusement, "How can you guarantee that your body is clean and problem-free?"
“I shower every day, I’m very clean,” Lin Xi said, taking out her health certificate. “This is my newly issued health certificate. I’m healthy and don’t have any infectious diseases. If needed, I can have regular check-ups.”
Rich people have many demands, but Lin Xi was willing to cooperate in order to earn high hourly wages.
Health certificate? Song Xu felt like he had misunderstood something, and he turned his head to look at Shen Yan.
Shen Yan winked at Song Xu and whispered, "Brother Xu, she's a part-time cleaner I hired to do housework."
Song Xu glanced at his living room, which was a complete mess, like a pigsty. He closed his eyes and said coldly, "Clean it up as soon as possible."
After saying that, he didn't even glance at the three of them and went straight to his bedroom.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly told Lin Xi to get to work, "Lin Xi, go cook first, we haven't eaten all day, we're starving."
"Okay." Lin Xi put down her tool bag, washed her face and hands first, then went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator to see what ingredients were available.
The extra-large double-door refrigerator has one half filled with various beverages and the other half with fresh vegetables and fruits. The freezer below contains various meats and frozen foods.
The product range is very comprehensive; you can make anything.
Lin Xi was able to cook simple meals when she was in the fifth grade of elementary school. In recent years, with the advent of smartphones, she has learned to cook many dishes online and her skills are quite good.
The homeowner said he wanted a light flavor, but Lin Xi felt that three men couldn't go without any meat, so she prepared to cook a pot of yam, corn, and pork rib soup.
First, cook the pork ribs, which take the longest to cook, and then we'll work on the other dishes.
Shrimp and scrambled eggs, stir-fried lotus root, steamed fish, and a vegetable salad—Lin Xi was very satisfied with her meal, which included meat, fish, eggs, and vegetables.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng sat on the sofa, pretending to be playing on their phones, but their minds and eyes were on Lin Xi.
Xiao Heng nudged Shen Yan with his shoulder. "Is this lady named Lin Xi?"
“What sister?” Shen Yan said softly, “She just turned eighteen, her birthday is younger than both of ours.”
“So it’s your younger sister,” Xiao Heng shook his head slightly. “It’s a pity she’s not going to school at such a young age.”
“Who said she’s not going to school anymore?” Shen Yan glanced at Xiao Heng. “She said she’s working summer jobs to earn tuition fees, so she should be a prospective college student.”
Xiao Heng nodded. "She doesn't seem illiterate at all, and she's quite pretty. Why don't we use her from now on?"
"You don't have any designs on him, do you?" Shen Yan rolled her eyes at him. "Don't forget, this is Xu-ge's home. The two of us don't have the final say."
"Then I'll just buy one myself." Xiao Heng's voice was very soft, as if he were talking to himself.
After working for more than an hour, Lin Xi brought four dishes and a soup to the table and greeted Shen Yan and the others, "Mr. Shen, the food is ready, you can eat now."
"Great!" Shen Yan and Xiao Heng had already smelled the aroma. They walked to the table and saw the four dishes and soup on it. They looked very appealing, but they didn't know how they would taste.
After they sat down, they suddenly remembered that the master of the house was still there. They didn't dare to go and call him, so they asked Lin Xi to go instead.
Shen Yan pointed to Song Xu's room for Lin Xi and said, "Go and call Brother Xu out for dinner."
Lin Xi didn't dare to refuse, so she braced herself and knocked on Song Xu's door. She knocked three times lightly and heard a deep voice from inside, "Come in!"
Lin Xi opened the door and saw Song Xu wearing a light blue nightgown, sitting at his desk looking at his computer.
Prominent brow bones, a high nose bridge, a defined jawline, a long neck, and a prominent Adam's apple.
He's so handsome, the kind of handsome that's exquisite, just like his hands. Lin Xi lowered her eyes, trying to stop herself from overthinking. This kind of man is someone she can never reach.
"Xu... Brother," Lin Xi barely uttered the word "Brother." Calling him "Brother" so casually would be too abrupt, but she didn't know what else to call him. "The food is ready. Would you like to go out and eat?"
Hearing Lin Xi's voice, Song Xu frowned and turned to look at her. Her earlier "Xu" had been a bit too ambiguous, and displeasure flashed in his eyes. "Why are you still here?"
"Huh?" Lin Xi looked up. "I just finished cooking, and I haven't cleaned up yet. It will probably take another three to four hours, since your house is so big."
"Three or four hours?" Song Xu's brows furrowed even more.
“I didn’t deliberately delay,” Lin Xi hurriedly explained. “Mr. Shen asked me to cook a meal, clean the whole house, change the bedding, and do laundry. There was no time to rest for three or four hours.”
Song Xu assumed that Shen Yan had hired a cleaning lady to tidy up the living room, which meant that the two brats' bedrooms must also be dirty and messy.
He didn't need to make things difficult for a part-time worker. "Okay, go ahead and get busy."
Lin Xi didn't move. "Do you need me to clean your room?"
Song Xu had just taken a shower, and the bathroom hadn't been cleaned yet, so he nodded and said, "Just help me clean the bathroom."
"Okay." Lin Xi picked up her tool bag and went into the room, heading straight for the bathroom.
Song Xu didn't want to go out to eat, but his stomach was protesting. The airplane food was so bad that he barely ate anything.
Forget it, I'll just go out and grab a bite.
He got up and walked out of the room, smelling the faint aroma of food. The closer he got to the dining room, the stronger the smell became.
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng were already swallowing hard, but since Song Xu hadn't arrived, they couldn't start eating first.
"Brother Xu, you've finally come out," Shen Yan waved to Song Xu, "Come and eat, we've been waiting for you."
Song Xu walked over and sat down, glancing at the food on the table. It looked pretty good. He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Eat!"
Shen Yan and Xiao Heng were so hungry that their stomachs were practically sticking together, so they picked up their chopsticks and started stuffing food into their mouths.
Song Xu picked up a piece of shrimp and put it in his mouth. It was salty, fragrant, and tender, and tasted good. He tried all the dishes and they all suited his taste.
He didn't expect that this young girl would be such a good cook.
