Vol 4 Chapter 34.1 (2/2)
“Un… I guess I can help…”
“Really?!”
“But I don’t know how to explain it to Zi Zhong and Xian He…”
What Gong You was referring to was the arrangement the Xu state 3 made on their own to watch over me in turn so that I would concentrate on my work.
But what the heck… Am I a prisoner?
“Gong You, help me out here…”
“I came here to check things out because I was worried, and found a problem as expected.” Just as I was about to successfully persuade her, a lazy voice came in from outside. I looked out and saw xiao Yong with her clothes in a state of disarray walking in as she dragged her shoes.
From her state of attire, she probably just woke up.
“Eh? Why is xiao Yong here?”
More trouble is here, I thought.
“Xuan De is always being like that. Whenever you meet with something that doesn’t go easily, you seek help from others. How are you going to grow up huh~~” Xiao Yong admonished me before turning to Gong You, “Gong You you are another one. How can you be convinced by this level of persuasion by Xuan De?”
“… Wu.” Gong You’s expression became sullen as she took a step back from the mental blow by xiao Yong.
“Eh? Did xiao Yong hear everything?”
“Of course I have! I’ve been squatting outside for almost half an hour now!”
This person really has a lot of free time huh.
“Alright alright~ I’ll do my work.” I gave up and picked up a scroll.
“No!” But xiao Yong immediately rejected what I said.
“Then what do you want from me…”
Tch tch tch. Xiao Yong shook her index finger at me as though she were lecturing me as a proper adult member of society, though in my eyes she was just a girl about my age.
“Xuan De, before you learn how to do work, you must learn how to deal with people.”
“Deal with people?”
“Not everyone will be easy-going as Gong You. What Xuan De has to do is to learn how to get along with people, and after that, how to convince people to help you do things willingly.”
“… Wu.” Gong You took another step back as she suffered yet another mental blow from being used as a bad example.
Xiao Yong seems to really know what she’s talking about, almost as if it’s from personal experience… Eh? Wait, does that mean this is how she always gets to slack off?
“In any case, what Xuan De has to do now is to practice how to make someone promise to do something for you.”
“Eh? Like just now?”
“Gong You’s difficulty is way too low. Of course, mine is too high.” Xiao Yong looked outside as she said so, “Un… I have to find someone suitable…”
What? She’s already looking for someone? I haven’t even agreed to it!
“Wait, what about the work?”
“That stuff isn’t important!”
Eh?!~~~~
