"Lolo. I... am not feeling well, so I'll head back first. I'll leave things here in your care."
Luo Jiu looked at Shi Zixi in front of her. Her face was pale, her eyes were unfocused, and her fingers were trembling. She didn't seem to be slacking off.
Luo Jiu touched her forehead with some concern, and after confirming that she was alright, told her to go home and rest well.
After seeing Shi Zixi off, Luo Jiu was a little puzzled. Why did she suddenly feel unwell?
"You, yes. It's you."
Luo Jiu was suddenly stopped by a voice calling her from behind. She turned around, somewhat puzzled.
What I saw was a young man wearing a black mandarin jacket and a chef's hat.
"Are you calling me?"
Luo Jiu was puzzled. She didn't seem to have done anything, so what was going on?
"Yes, it's you. We're short-staffed with maids, what are you still doing loitering around here!"
Before Luo Jiu could react, an apron and a tray appeared in her hands.
"Deliver it to room number 2 upstairs. Working hours, not even wearing a work cape—do you want your wages docked?"
Then, it disappeared again.
Luo Jiu was somewhat bewildered. Did she really look like a maid in her attire? For the first time, Luo Jiu had doubts about her appearance.
Soon, he saw maids carrying trays, coming and going. They were all wearing blue skirts and white aprons. He comforted himself with a sense of understanding, thinking that it was just that their clothes looked similar, and that the young man was probably nearsighted.
"Hey, I can help..."
Luo Jiu called out to a maid, but before she could finish speaking, she changed her mind.
"Sister, do you know where room number 2 is upstairs?"
The main reason for the change of heart is that just now, 007, that idiotic system, appeared again.
[Master, congratulations on triggering a hidden quest. Please personally deliver the red wine on the tray to Room 2. Reward: A "Good Person Card". Failure: Loss of 10 points of favorability. Do you accept?]
...
Luo Jiu, carrying a tray, knocked on the door of room number 2.
"who?"
"Hello, this is the beverage delivery person."
"Come in."
Luo Jiu carried the tray and walked in with her head down. She bent down and slowly placed the wine pot on the table.
In front of me, a foreigner and a Chinese man were talking on a sofa.
Is everything ready?
"Yes, don't worry, Mr. James. Someone will go to the woodshed and set it on fire soon. Once the fire is lit, the banquet will be in complete chaos."
We'll strike from the shadows, without anyone noticing, and we guarantee Xu Shaojun won't return alive.
Luo Jiu was somewhat startled. Her hands trembled, she bowed slightly to the two of them, and walked out.
The two people on the sofa were speaking English, presumably because they assumed a maid wouldn't understand, which is why they acted so brazenly. Little did they know, Luo Jiu had already undergone a soul-changing transformation; her years of diligent study hadn't been in vain.
No, I have to tell Xu Shaojun right away, otherwise, if the male lead really dies, then my mission will be game over!
Luo Jiu rushed out the door, her steps hurried, not even having time to remove the apron, and hurriedly went to the banquet hall to find Xu Shaojun.
At this moment, Xu Shaojun was standing next to Commander Shi, utterly bored, listening to a group of old foxes spouting official jargon. He was incredibly bored.
When Luo Jiu saw Xu Shaojun, she didn't dare to go over. She desperately tried to signal him to come over with her eyes, until her eyes started to hurt. Only then did Xu Shaojun realize what was happening.
Xu Shaojun whispered a few words to Commander Shi, then walked toward Luo Jiu, who was standing to the side like an ant on a hot pan.
"What's wrong?"
