Chapter 22 - Housework Can Increase Fondness (1)

Early afternoon on summer days was the hottest time of the day.

Under the cruel burning sun, the ground was so hot that one couldnt even stand on it with their bare feet.

It was a windless day. One only needed to stand outside for a short while before the sun above and the skin that was now burning would made one irritated.

Gu Shishis little face was beet red and sweat kept pouring out of her forehead and the tip of her nose.

She was still wearing the face mask from when she was cleaning the living room. Once she was outdoors, the mask was soaked through by her sweat before long, so she just took it off.

Miss Gu, dont just water the plants. The weeds need to be taken care of too, said a chubby, freckled maid with her hands resting on her waist. The maid might look very stern, but she couldnt refrain all of her pleasant surprise and her sense of superiority from showing.

When would a maid ever had the opportunity to boss around a girl from a wealthy family?!

Yet today, such an opportunity was offered up to her, Shi Li!

Never mind this fiance of the Young Master grew up in an ordinary family and had only been a wealthy girl for just a few days; the opportunity to boss her around still excited Shi Li.

Shi Li didnt even feel toilsome slaving under the scorching sun, sweating along-side the wealthy girl.

You must pull these weeds one by one by hand. The scissors might damage the flowers accidentally, so you must do it by hand. Thats how I always do it.

Who else could give a wealthy girl such a hard time as to pull weeds out one by one?

Having said that, Shi Li looked even happier than she was before.

Okay, Shi-jie. Said Gu Shishi as she wiped away the sweat on her forehead. She couldnt control the smile on her face.

(T/N: jie older sister / female)

She checked the interface intermittently as she was weeding.

[Received fondness from Siyi and Butler Lin. Acknowledgement of Others leveled up to LV 1!]

[Hosts current level: LV1 The Prominent Familys Fiance on the Slippery Slope.]

[Others Acknowledge: LV1]

[Doting of the Male Lead: LV1]

[Maximum Life: 5 days.]

[Current Remaining Balance: 71 hours 14 minutes and 24 seconds.]

Happy~

She would never have thought that some simple housework would earn her fondness from both the butler and Siyi~

This was easier than she had imagined!

Now she can live for 5 days!

Just thinking about it was able to keep that smile on her face.

But, the system was so cheap, the maximum for LV2 was just 5 days?!

Hurry up, Miss Gu! It only takes me an hour normally to do all these by myself! said Shi Li in an imperious tone.

Perhaps, even she had noticed that her tone might be problematic, so Shi Li quickly added, The butler said that I must stay here to watch over you!

Yes, yes! I understand, Shi-jie. Why dont you go have a seat on the side? I will work faster! said Gu Shishi with a bright smile and sparkly eyes.

She had no gloves on; she was clawing at the soil and pulling the weeds with her bare hands.

Many of the flower beds were quite low, so she had no choice but to half kneel on the ground and lean all the way over to take care of the weeds deep within the flower beds.

She needed to collect the next batch of fondness!

She wondered if she might be able to collect them from Shi Li!

Right this moment, Huo Sishen, who was standing in the shadow by the lobby, looked into the garden with his quiet, dark eyes. His pupils contracted a little.

All of the girls full-bodied black hair was hidden inside her hat with just a few playful strands poking out from under it and cutely falling down the side of her soft and bright face.

He could tell from afar how excited she was.

It was as though it wasnt a flower bed that she was cleaning right now, but an elegant art piece.

On her knees, she would occasionally lift up her small face and look at the blooming flowers and their branches. She would always resume weeding and trimming only after she had studied the flowers.

After her touch, the branches in the flower beds were much more layered and aesthetically pleasing than before.

She really wasnt crying. In fact, she appeared to be quite happy. Was she serious about wanting to be paid?
