Chapter 47 It's a happy and harmonious family
Under Su Wen's intimidation, a pool full of slimes quickly responded. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but it neither jumped out as the former said, nor did it make any counter-attack moves, but seemed to feel Su Wen's worry, and took the pot very happily: "It's me who is too abrupt, Dad! Just to want to talk to you, I made such a big move, and scared my mother, I'm going to ......."
"Hey, wait, who do you say is Mommy!"
Su Wen was not happy at that time.
"It's that beautiful half-elf, aren't she and her father husband and wife?"
"You seem to be kidding me. Su Wen was surprised, but he didn't look angry, "A scumbag like me, who is both perverted and has a bad personality, it would be good to be married to a certain five-fingered creature, if you say Lytithea, she doesn't hate me so much that she hates poisoning the food." β
"Dad, are you really stupid!"
β......β
Faced with the straightforward accusation of the "daughter", Su Wen was speechless.
He felt as if he was being despised by a slime, why did he think it was unscientific?
"I've been observing for a long time, my mother takes good care of you, but you always think she hates you, and as a bystander, I want to pour a basin of water on your head to make you sober. The slime's didactic voice continued to sound in Su Wen's mind, "So, today I jumped out of the jar and crawled all the way to the bathtub, in addition to wanting to talk to you, the most important thing is to ask for an explanation for my mother!"
"You know, it's just that she's doing her job as a maid. β
When Su Wen said this, he didn't seem to be so exclusive to the name of slime "mother".
"Will a mere dutiful maid be reluctant to follow her master after she has been fired? Will she not take care of her master for three days in a row when she is in danger? Will she take advantage of her master's unconscious...... Ah, the last one I said I missed, but it was on purpose. Mom likes you more than anyone else, my stupid dad, how long are you going to make a fool of yourself?"
At this moment, Su Wen finally panicked.
Although Slime's third rhetorical question surprised Su Wen - it turned out that the person who helped him complete the daily task a few days ago was really his own half-elf maid?! However, Su Wen had noticed the first two points, but perhaps under some subconscious work, he selectively ignored them, and preferred to believe that it was just Lyticia's conscientiousness and inertia.
As for the source of this subconscious?
Of course Suwen knew, but he couldn't change it.
As long as the daily tasks of the cheating daddy system exist for one day, or before he fails to pay off his debts, Su Wen has to maintain his perverted identity. But he has never been proud of this status, on the contrary, he understands how unpopular he is with the vast majority of normal people, Su Wen can easily ignore those inconsequential disdain, but there is a strong ...... in his heart for Laetitia's existence that accompanies him day and night Inferiority?
Yes, it's inferiority.
Originally, this seemingly intricate state, which was not up or down, was actually just Su Wen finding an opaque piece of paper to cover up his shame. Su Wen is not from this world, and of course he will not put himself and Laetitia on the same level as a slave, so when facing this maid, even if the other party is nominally his slave, the deep sense of shame still makes him subconsciously feel that he should not be hated.
It just so happened that Laetitia may have the attribute of a poisonous tongue, which made Su Wen very useful.
He's not shaking his m, but because he's found a balance.
But he didn't know that if Laetitia really hated him, she would definitely not look at herself a second time like Golistan did, instead of being sarcastic about herself almost as a spit contestant - until now, this slime, who claimed to be his daughter, had stabbed the paper as a fig leaf with a neat and merciless manner, and made Su Wen suddenly sober up from the prison where he painted it.
"Really...... Is that so......
Su Wen muttered to himself.
"You mean, Lyetitia doesn't hate me at all?"
"Dad, you actually know this kind of thing, and you don't need me to affirm it at all. β
Su Wen finally stretched out the clouds on his face, as if moved, and as if relieved: "I always thought that Laetitia thought that I was hopeless, but now I finally understand that these are actually my own cleverness." I don't know your name yet, but thank you so much, my messenger. β
"Just call me Xiaoshi, thank you, family. β
"Haha!"
Su Wen laughed out loud for the first time in a long time.
"So, Dad, what are you going to do next?"
"Of course, it's to talk about it openly and openly, this kind of thing can't be delayed, and the longer it drags on, the more troublesome it will be! Actually, I wanted to do this in the first place, but if it wasn't for your reminder today, I wouldn't have been able to think as well as I do now-well, my body has never been so relaxed, and I'm finally no longer fighting alone. β
"Oh, come on, Daddy!"
"But before that, did you get out of the bathtub?"
"No, Dad, it's very comfortable here!"
......
Finding Laetitia is actually very simple, all you need is a fixed time and a fixed place. For example, it happened to be lunch now, and although it was delayed for more than half an hour because of Su Wen's late return, he still effortlessly found Laetitia who was washing vegetables in the kitchen.
Su Wen first turned his head and gave a thumbs up to the half-open bathroom door, and the pool full of slimes jumped up and down in response, as if the water in the entire bathtub was boiling - yes, Su Wen didn't stuff Xiao Shi back into the jar for the time being, firstly, because this cheap daughter had just lectured and made her suddenly, and secondly, it swore that it would ask her if there was any emergency. Su Wen thought it made sense, so he let it and its proliferators stay in the bathtub.
After receiving affirmation and encouragement, Su Wen finally made up his mind and tiptoed towards Laetitia.
No matter what she does, Laetitia will be very focused, so she doesn't seem to notice Su Wen behind her, but concentrates on cutting the carrots on the cutting board into small pieces - this is an indispensable ingredient in vegetable sweet soup, and it is also Laetitia's best food, Su Wen has never felt tired of drinking it for half a year.
And it was this concentration of Laetitia that made it so tight that when a pair of hands were on her shoulders, she almost didn't cut her fingers.
She turned back to Su Wen and glared angrily.
"It's time to talk, dear Laetitia. β
"Master, can I understand that it is some new perverted trick?"
"No, not this time, I just wanted to talk to you about me...... Our future. β
Laetitia was slightly stunned, suddenly a little dodgy, she reached out and slapped Su Wen's palm, lowered her head and walked briskly towards the living room, although she didn't know where the target was, she still walked fast.
"What is there to talk about?"
She whispered.
Su Wen was overjoyed when she heard this, her conjecture was completely correct, and at this time, Laetitia said "what is there to talk about" instead of "Dead perverts * go away", which is enough to show that she is probably not really resisting. He chased him into the living room, then stood up straight in front of a dazed Laetitia, and easily saw the bewilderment and panic in the eyes of the half-elf maid.
"Are you going to leave me, Laetitia?"
Su Wen asked.
"You see, you have now dissolved the master-servant relationship with me, if you want to live on your own, then you can go anytime and anywhere - don't worry, maybe I will leave Red Maple Town tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, if you have such a plan, then the ownership of this house can be transferred to your name, and I will also leave a gold coin that will keep you from worrying in the short term. As for Trides, it's not deserted, but you know it's been a bit of a mess lately, and you'll have to wait at least three months to get back. β
Well, by that time, Shirley will be in school, and even if there is trouble, she can't find Laetitia's head.
Su Wen came up and tried to indulge in his desires, he understood that if his and Xiao Shi's judgment was good, then even if there were favorable conditions for not worrying about food, clothing, and shelter, and getting rid of slave status, Laetitia would not agree. Of course, if Lyitia really decided to leave, although Su Wen felt that she would definitely be devastated, but this was originally the result of her previous plan, so what was there to be sad about?
Sure enough, Laetitia shook her head.
"I don't need that. β
She whispered, her face as red as a ripe apple.
Su Wen resisted the urge to laugh three times, he forced himself to make a puzzled expression, and asked puzzledly: "In this way, I didn't ask for your opinion on the previous decision, and I really didn't think about it too much." But I still don't understand, what do you want?"
Laetitia's face turned even redder.
"Yes...... I do not know. β
She clutched at the corners of her dress, her neat maid's outfit quickly crumpled, but her fingers were still as hard as if they were about to scratch at the thick fabric.
"Say it, Laetitia, you actually like me!"
After hearing this, Laetitia felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and she couldn't help but raise her head and open her eyes wide, as if she had met Su Wen for the first time.
"Yes......"
After a long time, she spoke slowly.
Her voice was very gentle, but she didn't have the shyness she had just had, but sighed as if relieved.
"I like you, Suwen. β
For the first time, Laetitia did not call Suvin her master.
Only she knows that what she has always hated has never been this big boy who seems to be a pervert, but is actually more upright than any sanctimonious beast in human skin. For nearly two hundred days and nights, only she could see the true side of this boy: he had arranged everything for himself, and every minute and second of his time was spent on the blade, not missing any opportunity to improve himself; he had justice in his heart, and many times he was imprisoned because he was actually punished by the strong and helping the weak, although his outfit looked unsightly; he was the same on the outside, and for half a year, he never did anything to her, even if she was his maid from a legal point of view, he had every right to do whatever he wanted without causing his life......
Although Laetitia still doesn't know why Su Wen would act in a way that is incomprehensible to ordinary people, even if everyone around her thinks that Su Wen is an out-and-out pervert, she will never think so.
And what she hates, in fact, has always been just that cold "master"!
Laetitia didn't want to be Suwen's maid, but something else.
But......
But......
If it weren't for Su Wen's sudden change of sex, Laetitia probably never knew when she would be able to say this. She knew Su Wen too well, she knew what Su Wen only had in her eyes, and she was afraid that if she lost her identity as a maid, not only would she not get anything, but she would have nothing.
"I like you. β
Perhaps it was the greatest courage of her entire life, and Laetitia suddenly smiled sweetly.
She stared intently into Su Wen's eyes, as if hoping to read something out of themβhowever, as time passed, the sweet smile slowly withered and eventually stiffened like an empty flower.
Because, Su Wen also laughed.
"I didn't expect you to be so direct, and you forgot to prepare the human card for a while. But that's okay, now that you're sure you don't hate me, I'll be responsible: well, go ahead and be my maid. But the next experience is a bit dangerous, I can't take you with me regardless of the danger, you can stay in Red Maple Town for a while, and then I'll come back to pick you up...... Hey, what's wrong with you, Laetitia!"
"I didn't ...... Nothing, hosts. β
Laetitia wiped the corners of her eyes, and her eyes were full of resignation and loss.
You should know that it is impossible for him to understand, why should he be so stupid and say the most important words when he is slightly guided?
"I'm a little unwell, so I'll go back to my room and rest for a while, lunch...... Be hungry, master. β
"Eh, Lytia, why do I think you're upset? Did I say something wrong...... Ah, was it the good guy card just now, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made such a clumsy joke. β
Laetitia ignored him and went straight back to her room, slamming the door behind her, and locking it at the sound of the voice.
βοΌοΌβ
Su Wen was really a little confused.
Wasn't the situation still in a good situation just now, how did the painting style suddenly turn sharply, and it became a bloody bitter drama.
He took three steps and two steps back to the bathroom, Xiao Shi and its proliferators were happily blowing bubbles in the bathtub, and when he saw Su Wen walking in, he hurriedly asked excitedly: "Dad! I'm right, Mom must like you, she admitted it herself just now, I didn't see anything about what happened next, don't say I'm peeping!"
Su Wen sighed secretly, as if he had aged a lot.
"The talk has collapsed. β
"Oh, Dad, how is that possible!"
"I don't know, Laetitia seems to have suddenly become angry, and although I jokingly gave her a good guy card, she shouldn't have heard it as a joke. β
Xiao Shi was silent for a while.
"And then, Dad, what did you say?"
"I'll take responsibility for ......"
"That's fine, the next one. β
"Well, I'm thinking about itβgo ahead and be my maid!"
β......β
There was a long silence.
After a long time, Xiao Shi's voice finally sounded: "Dad, you are really stupid!"
"Hey, is there something wrong with this sentence?" Su Wen quickly reacted to the crux of the matter, but then fell into even greater doubts, "If Laetitia likes me, then isn't it normal to continue to be my maid, Laetitia's approach is really unreasonable." β
"It's you who can't be reasoned, right, Dad!"
Xiao Shi seemed to be finally angry, and the voice that came out of Su Wen's mind was also puffing.
"I've called my mother my mother, don't you still understand what she wants!"
"You mean getting married?" Su Wen pondered for a moment, thoughtful, "but in my opinion, there is no difference between getting married and becoming a maid." Oh, it's still a little different, if you get married, you need to mate regularly between men and women, and even have to breed offspring, which is much more troublesome than becoming a maid. β
β......β
Xiao Shi was silent for a long time.
"My stupid dad...... Don't you feel heartbeat when you see your mother?"
"Of course, I desperately need her to agree to be my maid. β
β......β
Xiao Shi was silent again.
"I see. β
After a long time, it seemed to confirm something, and said again: "Dad, in your eyes, there is no difference between your mother becoming your maid and marrying your mother, right?"
"Yes, didn't I just say the difference?"
"I mean in general. β
"In general...... Not really. β
"Well, then Dad, do you want to make Mommy happy?"
"Of course, do you have a solution?"
"Propose to her. β
Su Wen patted his head: "It's really stupid, since what Lyticia and I think are just different names, in fact, there is no difference, so why stick to the master-servant relationship stipulated in the framework? Xiao Shi, it's very comfortable to soak in the bathtub, if you really help me this time, then I'll let you soak until tomorrow morning...... What are you sighing for, isn't this reward enough?"
"It's not...... I just think mom is so pathetic. β
......
A few minutes later, a smiling Suwen came to Laetitia's door, and he tried to twist the lock, but found that it was locked backwards.
"Dear Laetitia, open the door!"
Su Wen knocked on the door, but of course there was no response.
"Laetitia, I'm here to propose to you. β
Su Wen said cleanly.
The words worked, and Suven immediately heard the rattle of the bedboard, followed by the sound of messy sandals, and then, Laetitia's door opened. She was so impatient that her long messy brown-green hair was hastily tucked away, and her reddish eyes with tear stains couldn't even be wiped away.
"I promised, no matter what you were thinking, I promised!"
As if afraid of missing something, Laetitia hurriedly said.
Her voice was hoarse.
