The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 51 The Night with the Little Maid

51: Chapter 51: The Night with the Little Maid

51 -51: The Night with the Little Maid

In the evening, when I got home, the little maid showed Lin Shuang the fruits of her culinary studies over the past two days.

She made a dish of twice-cooked pork, a dish of mapo tofu, and a dish of stir-fried phoenix tail.

Of course, there was also the indispensable soup, brimming with various kidney-toning herbs.

These were all home-cooked dishes, which Lin Shuang specifically instructed Maid Chief Yixin to teach.

When eating at home, it’s good to learn some simple and delicious home-cooked dishes.

There’s no need for the little maid to learn dishes like boiled cabbage or Buddha Jumps Over the Wall.

Who eats those every day, seriously.

The little maid already knew how to make these home-cooked dishes.

But with the guidance of a master chef, she improved on some details and ingredients.

Lin Shuang picked up a slice of the thinly cut three-layer pork, which had an enticing aroma, coated with fermented black beans and wrapped with garlic scapes.

After putting it in his mouth, Lin Shuang hurriedly took a big spoonful of rice.

Delicious in just one word!

The little maid clenched her fists in front of her chest, and only then did she finally relax seeing this scene.

“Phew~ I’m glad master likes it~”

She then served a small bowl of mapo tofu, and affectionately pouted her lips while blowing on it — “hoo hoo hoo” to cool it down.

“This one’s a bit hot, master be careful.”

Lin Shuang covered the rice with the mapo tofu, and quickly finished the bowl of rice.

The little maid adorably squinted her eyes.

“Tasty, isn’t it?

The chef said I should go learn at the famous Chen Mapo Tofu restaurant.”

Lin Shuang, already dazzled by the delicious smell, said, “If I ever fall on hard times, Ayao should open a mapo tofu store to support me.

It’s sure to be a hit, and you’d be the Tofu Beauty.”

The little maid leaned in and gently wiped his mouth corner, then served him another bowl of rice.

She smiled tenderly, “Sure, if the opportunity arises, I would support master.”

Lin Shuang grinned and took out his phone, opening the recorder.

“Say it again, Ayao.”

Gotta keep evidence of the little maid wanting to support me!

Handy for later when I latch onto this school beauty’s coattails!

The little maid blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed to say it.

She served another bowl of soup to Lin Shuang, “It’s time to drink the soup, master.”

Lin Shuang looked at the bowl of aromatic soup but felt conflicted.

It’s too nourishing!

Recently, every morning he woke up with…

issues.

The thin blanket was even propped up!

If he kept nourishing himself like this, Lin Shuang could practically perform a trick of ‘piercing through steel plates’!

He asked the little maid, “Ayao, where did you learn all these herbal medicines from?”

Even the famous Chinese medicine practitioners on the short video platforms aren’t as professional as you!

Ayao proudly raised a finger to her face, “Ayao learned from various Maid’s Secret Manuals.”

She adorably swayed her body from side to side, “The manual says a little maid should pay attention to nourishing and energizing her master.”

Lin Shuang prodded further, “So…

does the manual say what a little maid should do after the nourishing part?”

“Um, I haven’t learned that part yet.”

That’s why one shouldn’t give up halfway in learning!

Why only learn half of it!

Never mind.

Lin Shuang picked up the soup and downed it in one go.

Bottoms up!

The smell was indeed fragrant, and it really was very nourishing.

With nothing else to do after dinner, Lin Shuang took the little maid out for a walk to digest the meal.

As they left the house, they naturally held hands.

—Lin Shuang hesitated for half a second whether to reach out or not, and Tong Yao had already placed her small hand in his palm.

“It’s a bit dark outside tonight, master.”

Tong Yao said, shaking his hand so.

Lin Shuang felt the warmth of her palm, “Yes, you’re right.

Ayao is a little maid who’s scared of the dark.”

Ayao smiled with pursed lips, not speaking.

The two of them held hands, wandering aimlessly in the night.

Hand in hand in the quiet neighborhood, they gripped tighter while crossing the road.

Walking on the sidewalk, Tong Yao playfully jumped onto the narrow edge of the flowerbed, balancing on the tiles like a balance beam.

Lin Shuang walked below, holding her hand, helping her maintain balance.

After a few steps, she slipped down with an “ow,” pouting and giving Lin Shuang a pitiful look before stepping up again.

She really resembled an innocent little girl.

Lin Shuang felt a softness in his heart, holding her hand even tighter.

Her hand was as soft as a little girl’s, but there were quite a few calluses between her fingers.

Presumably, they were traces left from tirelessly caring for her sick mother day and night.

Tong Yao, standing on the flowerbed, tugged at him.

She tiptoed slightly, waving one hand above their heads.

“Like this, we’re almost the same height.”

Seeing no one around, she whispered, “Master~”

Lin Shuang also gestured with his hand, “I’m still a bit taller than you though.”

“That’s because your hair is too tall, hmph.”

“Surely, your hair is thicker than mine!

Also, don’t call me master in public!”

“But there’s no one around, Ayao is used to it.”

Tong Yao adorably tilted her head, “Then what should I call you?”

“Anything is fine, Tong Campus Belle.”

“Alright, Lin Campus Hunk.”

After saying that, the two exchanged glances and both laughed.

“This nickname is really embarrassing.”

Tong Yao shook his hand and continued walking on the flowerbed.

The two leisurely made their way to the supermarket.

“Hmm, just in time to pick up some groceries for home.”

The hand-holding couple spoke such words.

Anyone looking at them would think they were newlyweds.

In crowded places, Tong Yao preferred hiding behind Lin Shuang.

Lin Shuang led the way from the front, clearing a path for her.

Tong Yao watched his figure from behind.

The smile on her lips slowly grew sweeter.

When Lin Shuang turned his head, she immediately pursed her lips.

No, she couldn’t let the master see her smiling so happily.

Maybe it was a bit too presumptuous.

But holding Lin Shuang’s hand, she felt truly secure and happy.

Lin Shuang led her first to buy a bottle of hand cream.

Not really understanding these bottles and jars, just buying the expensive ones sufficed.

Then they picked up some other skincare products along the way.

This time, Tong Yao didn’t refuse.

She just silently noted the prices.

Afterward, the two returned home with big and small bags.

Like a cozy couple finishing their shopping.

[Maid’s Diary: Lin Shuang asked me today if there was more content after learning about nourishing soups.

I want to know too, but in the Maid’s Secret Manual, the content behind seems temporarily inaccessible, which is a bit worrying.

Hmm, how many times must a little maid hold hands before she can hug the master?

Or maybe I should already be content with just holding hands, I so love walking outside with Lin Shuang, wish we could just keep walking on and on.

I give Lin Shuang an extra ten points today!

Lin Shuang bought me lots of expensive skincare products today, and I didn’t refuse.

Teacher Xia says that to joyfully and gratefully accept the master’s gifts is also one of the maid’s rules.

How could I not be happy; how could I not be grateful?

The debt I owe Lin Shuang just seems to be increasing.

What should I use to repay him?]
