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

The thought of being ordered around as a maid sent a sweet heat through her body, making her mind feel light and unable to think straight...

But with sheer willpower, I pushed my legs and walked step by step toward the kitchen.

The host followed me into the kitchen, gave me her request, made a light scratch on the side of a bowl, and then spoke to me.

"Little maid only needs to cook this much porridge. She cannot leave the kitchen during this time. If she leaves the kitchen, it will be considered a failure. Once the porridge is cooked, Xiao Guiye can leave."

I nodded upon hearing my master's words.

My mental energy was completely depleted, and I had reached the critical point several times, leaving me in a very bad state. But faced with this only chance to escape, I had no choice but to force myself to complete the task as required.

I remembered the height the host had drawn on the bowl earlier. Such a small amount of porridge could be finished in two sips, so why only such a small amount?

I'm not going to think about it anymore; now is not the time to think about that.

I picked up the small bowl I used to cook this afternoon. It still contained washed rice. This was the extra rice that the host thought was left over after Xiao Guiye cooked and washed the rice this afternoon, so it came in handy again.

Next, we went to fetch water.

Ugh, my body feels so uncomfortable, it's getting harder and harder to bear. Just thinking about how I'm my master's little maid, obeying his orders...

No, I'm not a maid, and she's not my master!

I shook my head, trying to banish the strange thought from my mind.

Let's get some water first...

I turned on the tap, but no water came out.

I cast a questioning glance at Yin Yihong, only to see her mischievous smile.

Ugh, I love how naughty my master looks, it makes me feel even worse.

Oh no, I have to hold back, I can't lose to my master!

Seeing that mischievous smile, I immediately understood what was going on.

It looks like the owner turned off the tap, which explains why she told me not to leave the kitchen.

But how can you cook porridge without water?

I searched and searched in the kitchen, but in the end I still couldn't find anything that could be used as a substitute for water.

How am I supposed to cook porridge without water...?

No wonder that guy asked for just porridge; he was deliberately making things difficult for me!

Bad owner! Bad owner!

I finally had a chance to escape, but now there's no water to cook porridge. I stomped my feet and stamped the floor in frustration and anger.

"Tick tock~"

The sound of water droplets hitting the floor made me stop what I was doing. I looked at the water droplets on the floor and kept thinking back. It seemed like they were just thrown down from where I was.

I lowered my head, thought for a moment, and finally focused my gaze on the hem of my skirt.

No, rather than the hem of the skirt, it's more accurate to say that area...?

I blinked, and a bold idea was born in my mind.

Since Yin Yihong has cut off the water supply to the kitchen, and I can't be a water carrier, can I become a water producer?

Realizing what I was thinking, a lovely blush immediately spread across my face.

Turning to look at the kitchen doorway, Yin Yihong was no longer there; it seemed she had gone to do something else.

Oh well, there's nothing I can do about it. It's just so I can escape becoming a disobedient maid to my master!

After offering myself a brief reassurance, I closed my eyes, and before I knew it, I slowly lifted the hem of my skirt…

216. [IF Chapter] Master, would you like to eat first, take a bath first, or...?

"I found it! Waaaaaah!!"

He braced his other hand on the table to stabilize his body.

The physical exertion is too great, my body can't take it anymore, sob sob...

No, I have to cook the porridge quickly and leave. The longer I stay here, the more dangerous it will be for me. That perverted master will definitely do something.

Thinking of this, I tried my best to support myself and get up, but I failed.

Ugh, no, I should take a short break. Sharpening the axe won't delay the work of chopping wood.

But as soon as I rested, I thought about what had just happened.

I actually used my owner as a power source to fetch water, how did it turn out like this...?

But the thought of his master's appearance always makes his body go out of control...

My body is starting to crave my touch again...

No, I can't have such thoughts, or I'll really lose to my master and become her little maid!

Thinking of this, I shook my head vigorously, trying to shake off the strange thought.

But in the end, the strange thought didn't go away; instead, the master's voice came from behind first.

"I saw everything just now. Xiao Guiye worked really hard to finish cooking the porridge~"

When did this guy get here?!

My heart skipped a beat, but then a strange sense of happiness washed over me, and the water, which had stopped flowing, started dripping again.

I'm so happy and blessed to have been praised by my owner!

Waaah, I can't be happy! I can't be blissful! I can't get so caught up in this! "Little Guiye worked so hard to cook porridge for me, please keep up the good work!"

My owner gently stroked my fluffy cat ears, and a comfortable feeling came from the top of my head. I don't know why, but just being casually stroked by my owner like that immediately filled me with energy again.

For a moment, I didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.

If it were a bad thing, my master's touch would fill me with energy again. I feel that no matter what my master asks me to do, I can definitely do it.

If you want to call it a good thing, all of this is based on the premise that I am ordered by my master, and I always feel that if this happens a lot, I will definitely become unable to live without it!

But now is not the time to think about these things. I suppressed the sweet happiness deep in my heart, forcing myself not to indulge in it, and calming down my heart that had become lightheaded because of happiness, before getting up and going to the stove.

In any case, we need to focus on dealing with what happens next, and for now, let's start by concentrating on cooking porridge!

The process of cooking porridge was not as difficult as I had imagined. My owner did not cause any trouble or do anything else to me.

She just stood next to me and chatted with me about random things.

I, on the other hand, was completely focused on working at the stove, occasionally responding to her with a few words.

"Does Xiao Guiye like to cook?"

"I don't like it, but I would really like it if it were for my master..."

Without thinking much, I blurted out my answer, but realizing it was wrong, I quickly covered my mouth and corrected myself.

"No, no! I only said the second half of the sentence because you influenced me."

"Really? Well then..."

The owner lowered his eyes, a hint of disappointment flashing in them, and then left the kitchen.

Watching my owner leave, I was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

Did Xiao Guiye just say something that hurt his master?

Although the owner has left, the image of her looking lost lingers in my mind, causing a dull ache in my heart.

Is this really what I want? I'm even starting to doubt myself...

But when I thought about what that wicked woman had done to me before, and my goal was to leave this place, I focused all my attention on cooking porridge.

While waiting for the porridge to cook, to avoid having any strange thoughts, I took out my phone and planned to fill the time by watching short videos.

Because the water was forcibly extracted, although there was a lot of it, it was still too little for cooking porridge. Before I could even warm up my phone, the porridge had already thickened considerably.

The rice is probably not ripe yet, I don't know if that counts.

Who cares? As long as it's cooked, I just need to get out of here quickly.

Now that the porridge is cooked, all I need to do is escape from here and then I can leave my master!

Alas, I am separated from my master...

I don't know why, but the thought of leaving my owner makes my heart ache again.

Recalling how sad the owner looked when they left the kitchen, it must have been very painful...

Ugh, night falls! Now is not the time to worry about this, what we need to do now is escape as quickly as possible!

I tried to make up my mind, but for some reason, the sad face of my master just now lingered in my mind.

Or, how about showing a little concern? After all, even without this strange relationship, my master and I are still colleagues, so a little concern wouldn't hurt...

After finding an excuse for myself, I walked outside, but I couldn't find the owner in the dining room or kitchen, so I went to the owner's room.

She was still sitting on the edge of the bed, leisurely playing with her phone.

I had a bad feeling about this, and I got up to leave.
