Chapter Seventy-Eight: There's a Little Secret
In the senior VIP ward of Shangjing Beiren Hospital, one of the top private hospitals in China, a girl with a double ponytail sat cross-legged on the hospital bed, swiping the mobile phone in her hand without a match.
The new butler stood in front of the girl's bed, his head lowered, his right hand in front of his abdomen, his left hand behind him, and the black tuxedo showed off his slender figure, especially the long straight legs, which was simply an artifact that attracted attention.
The new housekeeper was a little nervous, the Tong family has always been a big family, and he was really excited to be selected to be the new housekeeper of the Tong family. This not only shows that he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, but also shows the recognition of his professionalism. In the academy, he has always been a leader, but he was selected by the Tong family just after graduation, and he can only attribute this to the fact that Lady Luck favors him.
The double-ponytailed girl on the hospital bed was still fiddling with the mobile phone in her hand, and she didn't mean to talk to the new housekeeper at all. The air in the room was somewhat quiet, and the new butler stole a glance at his first master with a faint trepidation in his eyes.
He had known all the information before he came here, and with his memory, he could memorize the life of his previous butler.
The former housekeeper's surname is Qi, and he graduated from the same college, and he is his senior, who graduated ten years before him. Despite the many years later, he could still hear legends about him in the academy.
The first in every year, the first in various audits, good at a variety of musical instruments, and a superhuman memory...... The word honor on his body could not be more suitable.
Such an excellent person, of course, will have a bright future.
The young senior was recommended by the academy after graduation to become the housekeeper of the Tong family, but when everyone was envious of him, he failed to continue his legend.
"You're new here?"
The two-ponytailed girl put down her phone and looked up at the fugue butler standing aside.
"Yes, Miss, I am the master's new butler for you."
"What's the last name?"
The new housekeeper bowed respectfully, "The surname is Zhou, and the full name is Zhou Shen." ”
The girl with two ponytails nodded and climbed out of bed, and Steward Zhou immediately stepped forward and put on comfortable cotton slippers for his new master.
The girl walked around on the tiles, "Okay, Steward Zhou, come with me to see my bodyguard Xiao Xia." ”
Steward Zhou nodded, "Okay, eldest miss." He took the coat from the hanger and gently draped it over the eldest lady's body. Then he stepped forward and opened the door for the eldest lady, "Miss Xiaoxia is in the ward next to us, and her friends are taking care of her." ”
The eldest lady walked in front, and Steward Zhou opened the door for her considerately and explained to her Xia Ke's current situation.
"Miss Xiao Xia's body has fully recovered, she is just over-consumed, just cultivate for a while." He was particularly familiar with the assassination that happened the day before yesterday, so he also expressed a certain degree of respect for Xiao Xia, who protected the eldest lady.
When the eldest lady entered, Xia Ke was talking to the man next to her, and the atmosphere between the two didn't seem to be very good, most Xia Ke was talking, and the man was peeling an apple for Xia Ke without any expression.
"Miss, why are you here? Your body ......"
"It's okay," the eldest lady sat on the chair moved by Steward Zhou, and her gaze stayed on Xia Ke's pale face for a moment, "Thank you." ”
"Why are you so polite, Miss, I am your bodyguard, although it is only temporary, but I also have to protect your safety, so you don't have to thank me."
Xia Ke had a shallow smile on her face, she glanced at the standing straight Steward Zhou, her eyes dimmed slightly, and continued to smile.
They all tacitly didn't mention the person, as if the person had never appeared.
Steward Zhou used many words to praise Xia Ke, as if she was the one who died for the eldest lady.
Xia Ke looked at Steward Zhou with a handsome face, and wanted to ask if you had ever inquired about your ex? Compared to him, you are like an unqualified butler, childish and pitiful.
But the more she looked at Steward Zhou's face, the more she didn't speak. It was only when she knew that a peeled apple had been slipped into her hand that she reacted.
Looking down at the apple in his hand, Xia Ke looked up helplessly, "I said I don't like to eat apples." She just told Ye Ziteng not to cut it, and if she cut it, no one would eat it, and it was better to eat apples than pears, and she could still make a fire.
"Apples are good, nutritious, you eat more."
Ye Ziteng ignored Xia Ke's resistance, picked up an orange on the side by himself, and began to peel the orange with his slender fingers.
Xia Ke breathed a sigh of relief, she waited for Ye Ziteng to peel the orange into petals, and then quickly stuffed the apple back into Ye Ziteng's hand, and ate the orange leisurely. When she was eating, she didn't forget to raise her eyebrows at Ye Ziteng, and that look was almost like her tail cocked to the sky.
Ye Ziteng looked at the apple in his hand, sighed, and was no longer stubborn.
"Do you eat? Miss? The small white plate in Xia Ke's hand contained neat oranges, and the technique of peeling the oranges was very good, and the flesh of the oranges was not damaged at all. The orange petals stand on top of the white plate, and they are cute like soft cute things.
"No," the eldest lady shook her head, she didn't like oranges, she didn't like the man who peeled oranges for Xia Ke, "I have something to tell you, is that okay?" ”
The meaning of these words is too obvious, it is nothing more than saying, I have something to say to you alone, let everyone next to you step down.
Xia Ke understood in seconds, and handed the plate to Ye Ziteng, "You go out for a while, the oranges are for you to eat, they are very sweet." ”
Ye Ziteng took the plate, didn't speak, and stared at Steward Zhou.
Steward Zhou was very good at looking at it, he opened the door for Ye Zi, then bowed to the eldest lady and exited the ward.
There were only two people left in the room, her and the eldest lady, and she was a little nervous.
The day before yesterday, she still doesn't want to remember much.
She didn't know what she looked like at that time, but she knew that it must be very scary when she thought about it. She was worried that the eldest lady would ask about the day before yesterday, although she said that Ye Ziteng had already given her the aftermath.
Yuanmen has personnel dedicated to the aftermath, but due to the level of Xiake's mission, she is not yet eligible to claim this benefit. That's why she wants to assassinate Su Han, so that she can get rid of the Yuan Demon unknowingly, and she doesn't have to deal with the aftermath.
However, the truth was still beyond her expectations, and thanks to Ye Ziteng's timely arrival, otherwise she wouldn't know how to erase the memories of everyone on the island.
Now that she is alone with the eldest lady, she is still very worried, what if there is still a remnant of the eldest lady's memory......
"I have a little secret for you."
The eldest lady got up from her chair and sat down on Xia Ke's hospital bed. Xia Ke was stunned, what secret needs to be so careful?
"Maybe I shouldn't tell you, because it will make you feel distressed, but I think if you don't say it, Steward Qi should be unhappy."
Finally, Xia Ke's eyes were lowered, and he was finally mentioned.
"Steward Qi likes you, I think you should know this, if you can," the eldest lady took out her mobile phone and slid the interface, "This is the address where his funeral will be held, he will be buried in the public offering on the outskirts of Shangjing, his funeral will be held the day after tomorrow, if you can, I hope you can go and meet him." ”
Xia Ke didn't answer, she tried hard to remember the address on her mobile phone, Chang'an Cemetery in the suburbs of Liyang, Shangjing City.
"I will, thank you, Miss." Xia Ke hung her head, she didn't dare to look at the eldest lady, she knew that her current appearance must be very cowardly. As a bodyguard, she should treat the task as a task and not have any feelings for the people in the mission.
But she was just a pseudo-bodyguard, and she couldn't forget the gentleman who would take care of people. She doesn't deny that she likes Steward Qi, this kind of liking is like appreciation, she is a human being and not a machine, how can it be said that there is no emotion without emotion......
Xia Ke thought of Duan Zhen, if Sister Duan encountered this situation, what would happen to her?
The elegant woman is always like a beautiful snake, she wears an elegant and decent suit, with ten centimeter high heels under her feet, she puts on the most suitable makeup, and touches the bright red lipstick. She was able to sway her steps to complete the task perfectly, and then left with a wave of her sleeves without any emotion.
All the tasks are just tasks for her, like a person beating a game, this game is a real hologram, just a string of codes.
When the game is over, the encoding will automatically dissipate.
Do you have feelings for a string of codes? How is it possible, you can't even remember the specific symbols of this string of codes.
"I'm leaving." The eldest lady bowed to Xia Ke, "What he promised you will be remitted to your account along with the reward." ”
Xia Ke got up and wanted to send off the eldest lady, but Steward Zhou opened the door from outside the door and smiled at Xia Ke and said goodbye.
Xia Kemu sent the eldest lady into her hospital room, and then returned to her room in a decadent manner. Ye Ziteng sat back in his original position and continued to pick up the fruit knife to continue peeling the fruit.
"What do you want to eat?" It was rare for Ye Ziteng to take into account Xia Ke's wishes, instead of deciding what to eat for her.
"What's there?" Xia Ke was lying on the hospital bed, she didn't have the heart to eat fruit, she was thinking about Steward Qi, she was very uncomfortable. But she didn't expect Ye Ziteng to understand her discomfort, Ye Ziteng was like an emotionless robot, otherwise how could he not comfort her and ask her what she wanted to eat.
Ye Ziteng's eyes stayed in the fruit basket, and he reported the name of the fruit the same: "Apple, orange, dragon fruit, longan, and a grapefruit." ”
"I don't want to eat it." Xia Ke covered his head with a quilt and said in a sullen voice: "Ye Ziteng, don't you comfort me?" I'm having a hard time......"
Ye Ziteng was stunned, he looked at Xia Ke who was covered by the quilt, and only a few strands of her hair were left on the pillow. He put the fruit knife down, then reached out and lifted the quilt. One hand supported the edge of the hospital bed, and the other hand rested on Xia Ke's hair, without speaking, gently following her hair.
