Water Reflects Peach Blossoms

After Baili Dongjun left, Su Wan looked out the window in the direction of Gu Mansion and lowered her eyes to think carefully.

She originally planned to go and explore the area around Gu Mansion, but now it seems that the entire Chaisang City is under control, and there must be many experts in Gu Mansion, so it is better to wait and see.

A single wolf is not afraid of wolves, but if it encounters a pack of wolves, only a tiger like the master, the king of beasts, can control them.

If she went there rashly, not only would she fail to help Third Senior Brother, but she would also be caught by the Yan family and used to hinder Third Senior Brother, which would be a real hindrance.

Besides, if something happens to the third senior brother, I am sure the other senior brothers will come to help.

She could observe the development of the situation and make the most appropriate choice when the other senior brothers arrived, so as to avoid being caught as soon as she ran out of the academy, which would be too embarrassing.

Su Wan walked to the bathtub and reached in to check the water temperature.

The slightly hot water is indeed suitable for bathing.

She washed herself and changed into the clothes that Baili Dongjun had found for her. The clothes were a little big and didn't fit her well, but as a man running a shop, it was indeed a bit difficult for him to always have women's clothes in his shop.

Su Wan went downstairs and saw Baili Dongjun fiddling with something behind the counter. She called out, "Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

Don't know where your broom, rag, and mop are?

If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. If you want to do it, then do it well! Since Su Wan agreed to do odd jobs, she must be diligent and conscientious in doing odd jobs to satisfy her boss.

Hearing the soft and gentle voice, Baili Dongjun subconsciously looked up.

I saw a woman coming down the stairs with a face as beautiful as a peach or plum in early spring, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes as clear and bright as stars. Although she was smiling, the distant look between her eyebrows added a sense of coldness.

It was as if a glance lasted for a thousand years. Baili Dongjun blinked in a daze, not daring to connect the beautiful woman in front of him with the poor man with a gray face squatting in the corner.

Looking at the boy who was staring at her blankly and somewhat foolishly, Su Wan walked up to him and asked doubtfully, "Sir?"

The tilted head looks so cute.

The clothes he had just bought and had never worn were a little too big for her.

"Young Master?" Su Wan's voice became heavier.

"Ah!" Baili Dongjun suddenly came to his senses and felt his ears burning. He covered his ears, not daring to look directly at Su Wan, and stammered, "I, I bought some spareribs. We're having them tonight."

"You mean you want to eat spare ribs?" Su Wan asked.

The sound is nice too.

Baili Dongjun felt like he was almost cooked, and nodded randomly: "Yeah, yeah."

Su Wan turned and walked towards the kitchen in the backyard.

The sweet fragrance beside him disappeared. Baili Dongjun suddenly squatted down, hugged himself with both hands, and looked shocked: "What, what happened? You can't speak?"

"Oh! Wake up! Wake up, Baili Dongjun!"

"If you continue like this, you'll be considered a fool!"

Um? What is the taste?

Smelling the aroma of stewed meat, Baili Dongjun stood up and hurried to the backyard: "Miss Su! I said I would stew it! You misunderstood me!"

"I'll do it, I'll do it! My family motto is that girls are not allowed to cook."

Looking at Baili Dongjun who snatched the spoon from her hand, Su Wan looked at him strangely: "But I'm just a servant."

"Then you can't come!" Putting the seasoning into the pot, covering it with a lid and simmering it on low heat, Baili Dongjun looked at Su Wan seriously, "We agreed to provide food and accommodation. I'm a good leader, a good boss, and a good shopkeeper who keeps his word! How can I let the servants cook for themselves?"

Su Wan blinked: "What you said makes sense."

Baili Dongjun nodded and pushed her out of the kitchen: "The kitchen is very fumy, you go wait outside."

Su Wan was kicked out of the kitchen.

With nothing to do, she walked around the entire Donggui Tavern while waiting for her meal.

This boss is quite wealthy, he must be the son of a wealthy family. But why would he go to Chaisang City to experience life at this time? Everyone in Beili knows that the Yan family and the Gu family are going to marry, but he doesn't know?

This kind of person is either born unable to understand the situation, or he is a naive young man who is spoiled at home and turns a deaf ear to the world outside, or he may be pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

Half an hour later, Baili Dongjun brought out a large basin of pork ribs.

He placed the scalding porcelain basin in his hand on the table and discovered that the entire Donggui Tavern looked brand new. The tables, chairs, and stools were even cleaner than when he had wiped them. The floor was so clean that it looked like it had been waxed and one could see a person's reflection in it. The wine pot he placed behind the counter was polished to a more dazzling shine, a true glazed jade cup with luminous light!

"...Ms. Su?" Baili Dongjun was shocked.

He didn't want her to work, he wanted her to have a good rest... What should he do? Is she really going to be a chore?

If I think back to the bitter experience of working hard under him, will I hate him?

"I'm here." A clear female voice responded.

Baili Dongjun looked up and saw Su Wan mopping the stairs with a mop.

She was beautiful, and he had thought she was a daughter of a wealthy family who had been brought up in pampered condition and had never done any rough work. However, to his shock, she was not pampered at all, but rather was as straightforward and efficient as a chivalrous knight.

"The meal is ready." Baili Dongjun said blankly.

He secretly cursed himself in his heart. This was clearly not what he wanted to say. He wanted her to stop doing these things. Why... couldn't she speak?!

Su Wan didn't notice anything unusual about Baili Dongjun, or rather, even if she did, she wouldn't take it to heart.

She did odd jobs to pay Baili Dongjun for taking her in.

When she has done what she wanted to do, she will naturally have no more contact with this young man, so she will not take his likes and dislikes to heart.

She went downstairs swiftly, put the mop aside, washed her hands, sat at the table, took Baili Dongjun's bowl of rice, and picked up a piece of pork ribs.

The ribs were soft and fragrant. Su Wan's eyes lit up and she gave Baili Dongjun a thumbs up: "Sir, your cooking skills are the best I've ever had!"

There are many top restaurants in Tianqi, and Su Wan has tasted all the delicacies in Tianqi, but after taking a bite of this, she felt that this was the most delicious!

"If it tastes good, eat more!" Baili Dongjun was happy.

My heart is filled with the satisfaction of being affirmed.

He said, "Don't call me Young Master anymore. It sounds weird."

"Yes." Su Wan nodded and said naturally, "Shopkeeper."

Baili Dongjun: "..."

The shopkeeper's voice wasn't nice either, it sounded a bit too unfamiliar.

But isn't calling her by her name a bit too intimate? After all, we just met...

He didn't want to be called "Young Master" nor did he want to be called "Shopkeeper". If he called her by her surname... it was a pseudonym he told her.

Baili Dongjun suddenly realized that he had lied to her. If this was discovered in the future, she would definitely be angry!

"Or... just call me Young Master." Baili Dongjun looked listless, obviously thinking about how to redeem himself when his lie was exposed.

But why would he want to redeem himself?

He met her by chance and took her in. Even if he used a fake name, it was understandable...

"Sir, another bowl!"

A slender little white hand handed over an empty bowl.

"Okay." Baili Dongjun took the bowl.

"I want spare ribs too." Su Wan said.

Baili Dongjun exclaimed in surprise, then looked down to see only bones left on the plate of meat. Su Wan, holding her face with one hand, looked at him expectantly and asked, "You'll let me eat enough, right?"

Su Wan is an extraordinary eater. Although she is pretty and has a slim figure, she has the biggest appetite in the entire academy.

Baili Dongjun: "..."

Although he was surprised by the other party's ability to eat, he inexplicably felt a sense of responsibility: "Of course!"

If you follow Baili Dongjun, you will definitely have enough food to eat!
