Chapter 212
Jiang You lowered his head, feeling guilty.
Don't blame her; in an unfamiliar place, especially such an unfamiliar place, it's not suitable to go it alone.
He was still thinking of ways to secretly get a phone and contact Xia Bei and the others.
It can't be an isolated island without any communication or anything, right? By the way, what's Xia Bei's phone number again? (=Д=)
“Come here,” Theodore interrupted her thoughts.
Jiang You looked up and saw Theodore smiling, his translucent golden eyes, always with a hook-like quality, quietly watching her, indescribably alluring.
The chief steward was slightly surprised, but remained expressionless and ordered, "Jiang you over."
Having understood this, Jiang You obediently stepped forward.
The Grand Steward glanced at her, then at Theodore, before gracefully turning and walking away.
Jiang You wondered why the Grand Steward had suddenly called her along, and since it wasn't the right time to whisper with Theodore, she remained silent, as quiet as if she were invisible the whole way.
Theodore lowered his eyes, smiling as he watched the figure approaching, before slowly shifting his gaze away.
The head steward led the two to the canteen, and then to the dormitory behind the canteen. She stood in front of two rooms, chattered for a while, and then left.
Jiang You scratched his cheek with his index finger: "What did she say?"
“Tell them these are our rooms. Someone will take us to work at seven o’clock tomorrow morning,” Theodore stretched lazily and randomly entered a room. “After you take a shower, you can go to the cafeteria for lunch.”
The head steward has been talking for almost half an hour, and he's only spoken this much Chinese. Is he serious? Is Theodore lying to her?
“Wait a minute,” Jiang You grabbed Theodore’s wrist, “Why did the Grand Steward suddenly summon me?”
Theodore's gaze swept over the extra hand on his wrist, slowly moving up to the woman's dirty face, and he said casually:
"Ah~, this... I said I didn't want to be alone, and then she called you."
Jiang You released Theodore's hand, his doubts growing. As he wondered why the Grand Steward was treating Theodore so well, he saw the other's flawless face and suddenly understood.
Theodore might catch the eye of the castle's owner, so the Grand Steward was lenient with Theodore, doing him a favor and placing a bet in advance.
Every gift of fate comes with a price tag. Jiang You glanced at Theodore with a sympathetic look and walked toward a room.
Theodore tilted his head and drawled, "Huh?" What was that look in her eyes just now?
Jiang You didn't know what the accommodations were like for the others, but it was outrageous that this place was better and bigger than her school dormitory, and it was a single room.
The exquisite wallpaper, curtains, and decorative moldings are in the classic and ornate Baroque and Rococo styles.
It's incredibly luxurious.
She went into the bathroom, and there it was—a bathtub!
What's going on? How come our quality of life has actually improved?
Jiang You knew this was thanks to Theodore, but as a line from "Marie Antoinette" goes, every gift that fate bestows has a price tag attached.
Theodore will eventually have to pay the price.
She decided that she would be more friendly and tolerant towards Theodore from now on.
Thinking this, Jiang You finished her shower and dinner, and around midnight, she knocked on Theodore's door with a blank expression.
Bang! Bang! Loud noises came from inside! Jiang You could even imagine the scene of the person inside being woken up, suddenly throwing off the covers, sitting up, and striding over.
The door swung open with a whoosh, and Theodore raised his arm, bracing it heavily against the doorframe. He leaned down, his eyes half-closed, staring at her: "You'd better give me a reason for waking me up in the middle of the night, or I'll turn you into a real dead cockroach."
Her bangs were messy and sticking out like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She had a grumpy expression and looked like she was in a bad mood when she woke up. Jiang You swallowed hard; there was nothing she could do about it.
The room looked luxurious during the day, but at night it was like a haunted house. The white cloth decorations on the bed curtains fluttered around, which was terrifying. I didn't dare to close my eyes at all.
She can tolerate anything, except for the fear of ghosts, especially since she also likes to fantasize and imagine things.
Jiang You didn't know how long he had been waiting, but he finally got up and knocked on Theodore's door.
