At night.
Shen Ying’s eyelids were slowly closing as she could not resist the temptation to sleep. But just when she was about to fall asleep, her eyes suddenly snapped wide open and she glanced at the bright moonlight outside the window, letting out a long sigh. She had no choice but to climb up from her position, pushed open the window on the right and talked to that perfectly upright figure outside.
“Chef, how long do you intend on standing there?”
Yi Qing hesitated, immediately standing straighter, before answering seriously, “Master, rest assured. I will guard this place well. Nobody can come near to disturb Master again.” He did not believe that there would be anyone who would still dare to snatch her away right under his nose.
“Sigh. Little Hong and her girls have already been officially accepted into the sect, so they won’t be coming here at midnight anymore.”
“Master, the heart of a person is always unpredictable and evil. We need to be careful just in case.” He continued seriously, “Previously, it was your disciple’s mistake in letting Master be abducted. I will not let myself make this mistake a third time.”
“But standing outside my window every day isn’t the solution. You still have to wake up early tomorrow to prepare breakfast, right?”
“Master, do not worry. Your disciple is not tired.”
But I am!
Shen Ying took a deep breath once again. For the first time, she realized how much of a blockhead her chef was. She climbed out of the window and pulled him to take a seat at the side. “Oh, Chef. If you keep standing here in the middle of the night not sleeping, it won’t feel good for me to just take a rest. How about I promise you that if someone comes, I’ll call for you?”
“But… Master, once you fall asleep, even thunder cannot wake you up!”
“Uh…” What rubbish.
“What if another person who does not look where they are going came to abduct Master again? It is safer for me to stand guard here.”
“…” Was she a child who was so easily abducted?
The more Yi Qing spoke, the more he felt the need to stand guard. He held a firm stance as he said, “Master, go ahead and rest. I will not disturb your sleep.”
You’re disturbing me already!
Shen Ying felt a headache as she looked at this person who did not heed any of her advice and wholeheartedly wanted to stand guard by her door. She let out a long sigh after thinking for a while, compelled to say something.
“I’m not taking Little Hong and the girls as my disciples. Will that be fine?!”
He turned back.
“And I won’t be taking in any disciples in the future as well,” she added.
Indeed, his gaze immediately brightened up like the stars in the sky. “Really?!”
“Yeah.” She nodded. Their dishes weren’t as tasty as yours. “Now can you go back to sleep?”
