Insert Some Flowers?

You're here again!" An Siyao's surprised voice sounded in Xia Yu's mind.

Since there was a maid nearby, Xia Yu didn't respond to her, just looking at the flowers in his hand.

Arranging flowers wasn't as simple as just sticking them in a vase; one had to consider the combination of various flowers, much like matching clothes, with many subtleties involved.

Noticing Xia Yu's predicament, An Siyao said, "Cut it off in the middle."

Xia Yu then moved the scissors and cut the flower stem.

"You used too much force, and it's a bit short, throw it away and try another one!" the girl said.

Putting the ruined flower aside, Xia Yu picked up another similar white flower.

"This one won't do; it's blooming too much. Choose one that's more reserved." The girl's voice sounded again, "The second one on your left is barely passable, but it would still be better to go to the garden and cut a new one."

Those who truly practiced the art of flower arrangement had their own dedicated gardens.

Xia Yu picked up the barely passable flower the girl had mentioned and carefully cut it open under her guidance.

"The cut is too messy," An Siyao complained again. "But it'll do for now. Put it in the flower pot."

Following the girl's instructions, Xia Yu placed the flower in the proper position and let out a sigh of relief.

"Good. Only four or five more stems are needed, and you'll be done." the girl said.

There were actually four or five more stems needed?

"We'll need to cut some more flowers in the garden, which is a bit troublesome."

What was a bit troublesome for the girl was a disaster for Xia Yu.

After a moment of silence, Xia Yu put down the scissors and stood up.

"Miss?" The maid also stood up, "Where are you going?"

"I'm not arranging the flowers anymore," Xia Yu replied.

"Ah?" The maid was astonished, unable to believe that the gentle and obedient Miss would say such a capricious thing.

She showed a troubled expression: "But according to the schedule, it's time for flower arranging now."

"Have any objections?" Xia Yu glanced at the maid, who immediately fell silent.

Stepping out, Xia Yu left the room. Led by An Siyao, he quickly arrived at the piano room.

The floor-to-ceiling windows on the south side of the piano room let in the evening sun, casting an orange glow on the piano.

"Miss." The maid also entered the room, looking a bit lost.

Seeing Xia Yu sitting in front of the piano, she hurriedly walked over to her: "The piano lesson is tomorrow..."

"Leave," Xia Yu interrupted her.

"I..." The maid panicked.

"Leave, I don't want to repeat myself."

Unable to face Xia Yu's cold eyes, the maid hurriedly left the room.

"Close the door!"

The maid came back and carefully closed the door.

Leaning against the wall by the door, the maid sighed in relief. In her impression, her mistress had always been weak and easy to bully, but she didn't expect her to be so domineering this time.

Hmph, she acted so meek when the senior maid was around, but became so fierce to me when she wasn't there.

While complaining in her heart, the maid took out her phone and sent the incident to the maid's chat group.

Inside the piano room, Xia Yu lifted the piano key cover while casually pressing the keys and said to An Siyao, "Is your status at home so bad that even a little maid dares to manage you?"

"They just listen to the head maid." The girl answered.

From her casual language, Xia Yu learned another piece of information.

An Siyao's family didn't have just one or two maids, but a whole team of them.

Damn capitalists.

Xia Yu had thought about getting money directly from An Siyao, but considering the power of the capitalists, he was afraid they would come after him in reality, so he gave up.

"You don't have any opinions about what just happened? I thought you would complain that I didn't follow the etiquette of a young lady!" Xia Yu said with a smile.

"I don't like flower arranging either. I've wanted to do this for a long time." An Siyao's words were filled with pleasure.

"What's the background of that head maid?" Xia Yu felt the need to find out more about the girl's situation.

"She was my mother's former maid." The girl replied.

"Is she very close to your mother?" Xia Yu asked.

"No, just an ordinary maid." An Siyao denied.

"Then is she very close to your father?" Xia Yu frowned, because if that was the case, the situation would be a bit complicated.

"She's over fifty years old!" An Siyao heard the implication in Xia Yu's words, and her tone was tinged with a hint of complaint.

"So she's just an ordinary maid, why do you have to listen to her?" Xia Yu was puzzled, "Do you like her?"

"I wouldn't say I like her."

"Alright, I understand. In short, you just don't dare to resist that head maid, right?" After understanding the girl's character for the past two days, Xia Yu figured out the situation.

With this in mind, he felt relieved that there was no need to be polite to these maids.

"Teach me to play." He placed both hands on the piano keys.

"Start by getting familiar with the key positions."

Nearly eight hours later, Xia Yu stood up and stretched.

It was 1:50am already. At 10 o'clock, a maid had come over to try and get Xia Yu to sleep, but was forced to leave by Xia Yu's cold gaze.

He came to the window and looked down at the courtyard below, where many flowers he couldn't recognize were planted and there was an artificial small river.

"You're improving so quickly," An Siyao's voice sounded.

"But I still can't even play a piano piece, right?" Xia Yu said. "And shouldn't you worry about your own problems?"

"What should I be worried about?" the girl's tone was genuinely puzzled.

"It wasn't a coincidence that I occupied your body yesterday, and I came again today. If I can come a second time, I can come a third, fourth..." Xia Yu tried to make the girl panic.

"Isn't it quite good?"

"???"

This girl was definitely a bit abnormal, but it had nothing to do with him; he just wanted to interact with her for music and painting skills.

"Well, I'm going to take a bath now," Xia Yu did not give up on teasing An Siyao.

"Sure!" the girl's voice was as usual.

Was she not afraid?

"My lady, are you already used to being naked in front of a man?" Xia Yu's eyes narrowed.

"Eh? Are you a boy?"

Xia Yu finally heard the girl's panicked voice, but it seemed he had also revealed some secrets.

Right, the other party had no way of knowing his gender, he had been negligent.

He would have to be careful in the future, not to capsize the boat.

"Um... can I wash myself?" An Siyao requested.

"No problem, let me help you!" Xia Yu showed a pleasant smile, wanting to tease the girl.

Warning, the other party's emotion is close to negative value, you will be kicked out after reaching negative value.

Can't you even take a joke?

As Xia Yu really stood up, the girl was frightened, and suddenly, her vision blurred, and her body fell to the left.

With a scream, she caught the wall.

Has her body returned?

Moving her hands and feet, she confirmed that control was back and looked at the clock on the wall, "Just like yesterday, it's been eight hours."

She puffed up her face indignantly, "How dare you tease me, you're so mean!"
