Ugh, wasn't the Awakening System supposed to make me the main character?

As the command was accepted, my already drowsy consciousness gradually faded away, and I soon drifted off to sleep.

I don't know how much time had passed, but a huge commotion came from around me, and I slowly woke up from my deep sleep.

I rubbed my eyes and struggled to sit up with my hands. I glanced around and saw that my colleagues were all walking towards the office door. Although they were moving very quietly, they still made some noise. That must be the main reason they woke me up.

Is it time for dinner?

Looks like I slept for half the morning, quite a long time...

But waking up to find food ready to eat is such a wonderful thing! And since I don't have any classes in the afternoon, I can go back to my office to continue sleeping after I've eaten.

To put it bluntly, it's all about sleeping and eating, then eating and sleeping again!

Thinking of this, the annoyance I felt from being woken up was instantly swept away. After tidying up my things, I prepared to go eat.

Just then, Yin Yihong came to my side and invited me, "Teacher Guiye, shall we go have dinner together?"

"Yes, let's go, together!"

Normally I would be worried about my identity as a reincarnated person being discovered, but I was in an exceptionally good mood right now, so I agreed without even thinking about it.

I slept so well that night; my whole body felt warm and cozy, with a slightly tingling sensation, like I'd been... well, you know...

Ahem, let's go eat first.

Thinking of this, I jumped off the chair, but as soon as I took my first step, my foot suddenly slipped. I quickly grabbed the table to avoid falling.

I turned to look at the floor where I had slipped and noticed that there was a puddle of liquid on it.

Tsk, whose water is this, pouring it over me!

Just as I was complaining, Yin Yihong's voice came from beside me.

"Teacher Guiye, are you done yet?"

"Oh, here it comes!"

I responded with a shout and then ran outside.

205. Hypnotized into a little maid!

I lay on my desk in the office, staring blankly at the time ticking on my phone.

I even went to the details page specifically to see the time down to the second.

As for why I did this, it's because there are still five minutes left before I can leave work!

You know, the time before I leave work is the longest! That's why I stare at my phone, watching each second tick by like it's an eternity!

Before I could even leave work, Yin Yihong walked over from her desk. Noticing that her gaze was on me, I immediately looked up at her, a hint of confusion in my expression.

"You seem really looking forward to getting off work, constantly checking the time on your phone. Do you have some plans?"

When Yin Yihong asked, I smiled and scratched my head, "There's nothing planned, I just want to go home."

"If there are no plans, that's great!"

Yin Yihong smiled, which made me feel very strange.

Just as I was about to ask her why she said that, she walked over to me and gently patted my head with her hand.

I wanted to express my dissatisfaction, but the next second a strong dizziness accompanied by a tingling sensation came from the top of my head, and then my mind went completely blank.

I stood there blankly, looking at Yin Yihong again with those empty eyes.

Seeing my reaction, Yin Yihong smiled happily, "It's almost time to get off work, do you want to go home with me? My cute little maid~"

Yin Yihong's voice seemed to be imbued with some kind of magical power, possessing an extraordinary penetrating quality, as if it could bypass my thoughts and directly affect the depths of my consciousness.

"Little maid...?"

I tilted my head, looking puzzled.

How come I didn't know I became a maid?

Seeing my puzzled look, Yin Yihong still had a faint smile on her face, and then explained to me in detail, "Hasn't Xiao Guiye always been my maid? How could you have forgotten?"

Yin Yihong's voice once again bypassed my thoughts and penetrated directly into my brain. I felt as if some important understanding had been rewritten.

Hearing Yin Yihong's words, I thought for a moment before realizing, "Oh! I forgot! I'm sorry!"

Ugh, I'm such an idiot! I completely forgot something as important as being Yin Yihong's maid!

I stared nervously at Yin Yihong, afraid that my forgetfulness would anger her.

But instead of frowning as expected, she smiled even more happily.

Seeing Yin Yihong's smile, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That's great, she's not angry. If I had made her angry, I would have felt really guilty, since I made such a silly mistake and even forgot that I'm her little maid.

After laughing, Yin Yihong's gaze fell on me again. I quickly looked up and met her gaze, carefully observing Yin Yihong's every move, afraid that I might neglect her in the slightest.

But several seconds passed and Yin Yihong still didn't say anything, which made me feel a little guilty.

"W-What's wrong? Did I do something wrong again?"

I stared into Yin Yihong's eyes, my expression slightly tense.

Yin Yihong didn't say anything, but kept staring at me with a smile. Yin Yihong's face was clearly full of sweet and happy smiles, but when I thought about what I might have done wrong, I couldn't help but lower my head and clench my little hands tightly.

A few more seconds passed before Yin Yihong finally spoke slowly. "You're my little maid now, what should you call me?"

"Calling her Yin Yihong...isn't that wrong?"

My tone wavered, and a bad feeling suddenly welled up inside me. She'd already said that, so it definitely wasn't what I was supposed to call her, but I'd forgotten what it was...

"You're my little maid now, shouldn't you call me master?"

Yin Yihong... no, the master's voice once again bypassed my thoughts and directly affected my consciousness. I could still feel that something deep in my brain being rewritten.

But more than that strange feeling, I was concerned about what my master said to me.

“Yes, that’s right!”

I looked remorseful and quickly apologized to my owner.

"I'm sorry, Master, I forgot. I'm an incompetent maid!"

A wave of intense guilt washed over me again, and I lowered my head once more, completely at a loss as to how to face my master.

But for some reason, I always feel that it shouldn't be like this.

I am the master's little maid, so I must address the master as "master" and such...

The moment the thought of doubt arose in my mind, I immediately slapped myself in the face. Ugh, as a little maid, questioning my master's words is absolutely unacceptable! Everything my master says is absolutely correct!

I dared to question my master's words; I am truly an incompetent maid.

The thought that I had just been questioning my master in my mind deepened my guilt, making me even more unsure how to face him. I could only lower my head.

But at this moment, the master spoke again.

"Don't you think that it's not cute at all for the little maid to refer to herself as 'I'?"

Hearing my master's words, I was puzzled once again, and I couldn't help but look up at her with a questioning gaze.

If we don't use "I" as a self-reference, then what should we use?

The owner paused, a subtle smile appearing on his face, before giving his answer.

"You can call yourself 'this humble servant' or 'this unworthy one.' If you're not used to it, then just call yourself 'Little Guiye' as before. It's quite cute that way~"

Just like before... calling himself Little Guiye?

My master's voice struck me deeply once again, and my brief doubt vanished at that moment, and I finally remembered.

"Oh...right! Master, I'm sorry, I forgot! I'm a careless little maid, please don't be angry!!"

As a subordinate, one should act like a subordinate. As the master's little maid, it is very impolite of her to refer to herself as "I" in front of her master!

Thinking about her mistakes during this period, she realized that forgetting she was her master's little maid was one thing, but she also called her master by his real name and even referred to herself as "I" in front of him.

I wonder if all these mistakes will make my owner angry...

Realizing that my actions might have angered my master, I quickly apologized again, "I'm sorry, master, please don't be angry about what I just did. I... Xiao Guiye will never forget it!"

Contrary to my fears, the master was not angry at all; in fact, his smile became even brighter. "Little Guiye is so cute. To avoid being discovered and causing an accident, let's go back as soon as possible."

Hmm? What do you mean by being found out about the accident?

Well, I'll stop thinking about it. I can finally go back and be alone with my master!

206. With its bottom facing outwards, the master has something very important to tell Xiao Guiye.

We arrived at the neighborhood where our owner lived in a car.

As soon as I stepped out of the underground parking garage, a group of thugs were squatting at the entrance, drinking from bottles of liquor.

Hearing my and my master's footsteps, their eyes turned straight to us, and I could clearly feel that they were all coming for me.

Their cheeks were all flushed, and with all their eyes fixed on me, I felt as if they might come up and cause me trouble at any moment.

Seeing this, I felt a chill and instinctively shrank behind my master.
