She heard that there was an old butler in the Ye family, but Xiaoling had not seen him for a day. Xiaoling had already spent 20 minutes looking for the kitchen. Every place seemed to look the same to her. She thought that she could find it by feeling it, but…just as she was feeling troubled, a fragrance suddenly assailed her nose. It seemed to be the smell of cake. Xiaoling ran over as fast as she could. It was the kitchen! He finally found it…
"Excuse me, are you the old butler of the Ye family?”Xiaoling pushed open the door and saw an old man with white hair standing in front of the oven. He was wearing a black tuxedo.
"Hehe, hello. Are you Miss Xiaoling? Nice to meet you."
"You know me?" Xiaoling walked to the old butler's side and asked curiously.
"Ye mentioned to me that you were coming over to take care of Young Master Xiao Ying. Sorry to trouble you."
"No, it's not troublesome. Xiao Ying is very obedient. It's very easy to take care of him.”Perhaps that was the case…
"Hehe, I watched Young Master Xiao Ying grow up. I know his character very well. He's just a little naughty.”
"No, no, I'll take good care of him. Are you making a cake? Is it for Night?" Ye likes sweets?
"Young Master Ye doesn't like sweet food. It was made for Young Master Xiao Ying. He liked cake very much, but sometimes he pretended not to like it because of his pride.”
"I see. I see…Um, I'll go to the backyard first because I have to prepare something, so let's talk next time!”
"Mhm, be careful."
At first, Xiaoling didn't know what the old butler meant by being careful, but she finally understood. In order to prepare the dishes that Xiao Ying had mentioned, Xiaoling had to go to the backyard to catch carp and pick leaves…And now, the game had just begun. Xiao Ying stood on the balcony as if she was watching a good show.
Carp! Carp? Xiaoling carefully observed the pond. The water was not deep, so at least she could ensure her own safety. There seemed to be a few carps inside, but were they really going to be caught and put into the pot? Wasn't that too cruel? They were now living freely and had not done anything wrong. Why should they become someone else's meal? But what if Xiao Ying didn't eat?
After a period of internal struggle, Xiaoling finally decided to let down these carps. Xiaoling rolled up her pants and sleeves seriously, preparing to go into the river to complete her fishing mission. The river water reached her calves, and a bone-chilling feeling spread throughout her entire body. It was the same as the autumn weather. The cold wind blew and it was freezing. Some fish were swimming around freely. They could clearly see it, but as soon as they walked over, the small fish all scattered and disappeared.
For Xiaoling, who had never caught fish before, this was a difficult task. Time ticked by. Xiaoling had been walking in the water for more than an hour, and her toes were starting to turn white. The fish swam so fast that Xiaoling couldn't keep up with them. Suddenly, Xiaoling, who was in a hurry, lost her footing and fell back heavily into the cold river. The water splashed from the river and soaked her whole body. It was so cold…Xiao Ying, who was on the balcony, covered his stomach and laughed out loud when he saw Xiaoling's sorry state. However, Xiaoling did not have the chance to see this.
Fortunately, she caught a fish…It seemed that Xiaoling accidentally sat down and accidentally pressed down on the little fish that was trying to escape. It looked as if she had fainted. Next, picking leaves? Did that mean he was going to climb the tree? Why did she have to eat these strange things? Wasn't ordinary home-cooked food good? Xiaoling really couldn't figure it out, but since she had already promised Xiao Ying, she had to do it.
Xiaoling looked at the towering tree in front of her and suddenly felt a sense of danger. How could he climb up so high? Looking around, Xiaoling still hoped to find some useful tools. He observed his surroundings unintentionally. The backyard was like a secret garden, with all kinds of strange flowers, birds living on the trees, clear river water, and a retro bridge. It gave people a very quiet feeling.
However, now was not the time to be emotional. It was already close to evening, so he had to speed up. Xiaoling tried to climb up from the fork of the tree, taking every step carefully. It was fine if the river fell, but it would be strange if the fall here didn't hurt. Xiaoling, who was climbing the tree barefooted, kept slipping, but she still tried her best to hold onto the tree trunk. His palm was scratched by the rough tree trunk, but he had no time to care about these things. As she crawled, Xiaoling observed the tree because she wanted to find leaves that met her requirements. One piece was definitely not enough, so he had to pick a few more pieces…
On the other hand, Ye was in a hurry to go home after the meeting. He was worried about Xiao Ying, but he was even more worried about Xiaoling. Both of them were stubborn. Although Xiaoling was here to take care of Xiaoling, she was still worried that they would fight. After returning home, Xiao Ying and Xiaoling were nowhere to be seen. In the corridor on the second floor, they bumped into the old butler who was about to give Xiao Ying a cake.
"Where did they go?"
"Young Master Ye, you're back. You've worked hard.”
"Where are the two of them?"
" Oh, Young Master Xiao Ying is in his room…" Before the old butler could finish speaking, Night had already rushed to Xiao Ying's room. "I haven't told Young Master Ye that Miss Xiaoling is in the backyard.”
When Ye arrived at Xiao Ying's room, he saw Xiao Ying standing on the balcony, looking at something. However, Ye Zhen didn't see Xiaoling. She walked behind Xiao Ying…Xiao Ying was too engrossed in the scene and didn't realize that Night had returned. "Xiao Ying, what are you looking at?"
Xiao Ying was startled by the sudden voice and turned to look at Ye guiltily." No, that, I didn't do anything!”She stuttered as she spoke, but Night already had a premonition that something was wrong.
"Where's Xiaoling?"
"She, she…I don't know." Xiao Ying didn't know how to explain, so he just denied it.
"You don't know?" He knew that Xiao Ying was lying, but Night could do nothing about it. However, even though Xiao Ying had his head lowered, his eyes were still looking at a certain spot in the backyard…Night instantly became angry and frowned. Her first reaction was that it was very dangerous, and her second reaction was that why was Xiaoling on the tree? Night, who didn't have time to think, rushed downstairs and into the backyard…
