Chapter 117

"LY—CA—ON?!"

Before Lycaon could finish his sentence, he was suddenly interrupted by Rina. Immediately after, she floated over abruptly, snatched the phone from Lycaon's hand, floated away quickly to put distance between them, and held the phone to her ear with both hands.

Rina was all smiles, saying with full anticipation: "If the client chooses me, you can get fed by hand by a big sister, and the commission fee can even be discounted by 40%!"

"Wait... wait a second, Ye Qing..."

Before Lycaon could stop her, Ye Qingfeng on the other end of the line widened his eyes and agreed without hesitation: "I choose Miss Rina!!"

To hesitate for even a second would be a sign of disrespect to a big sister!

Ahhh! This is being fed by hand!

And it won't be like Anbi, who would stuff it into his mouth expressionlessly.

Images flashed through Ye Qingfeng's mind: a gentle big sister in a maid outfit, picking up a bite of food with chopsticks, holding it to his mouth, looking at him with anticipation, "Come on, open wide! Ah—!"

Hehe... hehehehe!!

"Great! May I ask what the client's address is? I'll be right over!!"

Rina's tone was exceptionally excited, immediately asking for Ye Qingfeng's address, wishing she could fly over right away.

Ye Qingfeng gave the address of the Cunning Hare House, and Rina noted it down immediately, returned the phone to Lycaon, and dashed out the door in a flash.

"Mr. Ye Qingfeng... I advise you to prepare yourself mentally..."

Lycaon took the phone, showing a rare look of panic, though his tone remained calm.

After waiting for a long time without hearing a response from Ye Qingfeng, Lycaon took the phone away from his ear and looked at it, only to find that the call had been disconnected at some point.

Lycaon looked at the open door and whispered to himself: "Mr. Ye Qingfeng, may you be blessed with good fortune!"

Although Ye Qingfeng had never met Miss Rina on the phone, just hearing her voice made him feel she was a gentle and intelligent big sister.

Among the people he had met so far, there hadn't been a big sister figure who knew how to care for others.

Not to mention Nico and Anbi, he'd be thankful if they could just cause him less trouble; Zhu Yuan and Senior Qing Yi were more inclined to take care of each other.

Only Tsukishiro Yanagi, whom he had met once before, seemed like someone who knew how to take care of others.

After all, who wouldn't like a sensible and well-mannered big sister?

To welcome Rina's arrival, Ye Qingfeng resolutely grabbed a set of clothes, forced his weak body up, and ran into the bathroom to take a shower.

This time, he didn't make the mistake of showering with cold water again. After showering, he wrapped himself in a blanket and waited for Rina to come.

Of course, he wouldn't just wait; he took out his phone and used "Knock-Knock" to chat with everyone.

As it turned out, Ye Qingfeng sent messages to almost everyone, but no one replied.

Nico and Anbi were one thing, but why didn't Belle, Zhu Yuan, or Senior Qing Yi reply either?

(It's better to explain: at this time, they were carrying out Nekomiya's main quest, and the Public Security Bureau was also dispatched later.)

He pinned his last hope on Ellen.

Ye Qingfeng: Ellen, what are you doing?

After waiting for two or three minutes without seeing a reply from Ellen, Ye Qingfeng felt his mood sink, cold and chilly...

"Beep-beep—!"

The next second, the phone suddenly rang with a message notification. He clicked in to check it hurriedly.

Ellen: At a cafe with Ruby and the others... (Shark sigh emoji)

Ye Qingfeng: What's wrong?

Ellen: I was supposed to go to work today, but they came to find me early in the morning, and I was dragged out by Ruby.

Ye Qingfeng: Ellen, you have to work while studying, how diligent!

Ellen: It's alright, it's just that a new tail care solution came out recently, and I'm a bit short on Dennies...

Diligent? Is that me?

Ellen, chatting with Ye Qingfeng, didn't notice at all that her friends beside her had stopped chatting at some point.

Ruby quietly leaned in beside her.

Who is Ellen messaging so seriously? Let me see!

Ruby held her breath as much as possible, her gaze drifting toward Ellen's phone screen.

Oh~! It's Brother Qingfeng! Not surprising at all!

Who? Ellen is diligent?!

Before Ruby could think much more, Ye Qingfeng's message followed immediately.

Ye Qingfeng: Ellen, do you work at a place like a cafe?

Ellen: Something like that, why do you ask?

Ye Qingfeng: Because I think Ellen would look especially good if you wore that kind of uniform!!

At this moment, Ellen, lazily propping up her head, saw the message from Ye Qingfeng, her pretty face blushing slightly, and the tail that had been drooping behind her suddenly perked up.

Brother Qingfeng must think it's a maid cafe, but in reality, I just work at Victoria Housekeeping, although my uniform really is a maid outfit...

Ellen thought Ye Qingfeng was just guessing randomly, but that wasn't the case.

First, he already knew Ellen worked at Victoria; after all, with the current population of New Eridu, the possibility of having the same name was very low.

Plus, Ellen's full name was clearly written on that Victoria Housekeeping business card. And that Lycaon's way of speaking...

It wasn't hard to imagine him wearing a well-fitted suit.

After all, in Ye Qingfeng's impression, only a suit paired with that way of speaking wouldn't seem too out of place.

However, Rina called herself the head maid, and Corin, whom he met last time, also wore a maid outfit; it wasn't hard to guess that the Victoria Housekeeping uniform was a suit for men and a maid outfit for women!

And... Ye Qingfeng had guessed from the beginning that all the members of Victoria Housekeeping were his targets for conquest; there couldn't be two people named Ellen Joe, right!

After waiting for a long time without seeing a reply from Ellen, Ye Qingfeng thought she was shy.

But in reality, the situation over there was quite complicated...

Ruby saw the message from Ye Qingfeng, and couldn't help but imagine what Ellen would look like in a uniform.

As the fantasy deepened, her breathing became rapid.

Ellen in a uniform!

As a friend who had been with Ellen for so long, Ruby knew her true personality too well. On the surface, Ellen was quite lazy and lacked patience for most things.

Besides that, she had a strong sense of curiosity; there was one time before...

But in reality, she was just an ordinary girl with rich emotions.

If Ellen wasn't interested in Ye Qingfeng, her behavior would be very obvious; you could tell at a glance.

But Ellen didn't show any impatience, which just went to show she was interested in Brother Qingfeng!

Ruby's breathing was so rapid that it was hard for Ellen not to notice. She hurriedly pressed her phone down, her face flushed red as she turned around abruptly, pressing her palm against Ruby's face and pushing her away forcefully.

She glared at her shyly and pouted: "Ruby~! You're peeking again!!"

"Oh! It's no big deal! I support you with both hands and feet!" Ruby endured Ellen's palm, hugged her waist, and acted coquettishly with a grin. "I won't peek next time, forgive me!"

Ellen looked at Ruby's blinking little eyes, her heart softened, and she gave a light huff: "Then you're not allowed to peek at my messages again in the future!"

"I promise!"

Ruby added silently in her heart: Next time for sure.
