The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 137: The Impolite Little Apprentice

"Would you like to bring one more piece of thick clothing, Master?"

"No need, I’ve checked the weather forecast for Hai City, and it won’t be getting colder in the next couple of days."

The night before Lin Shuang’s business trip to Hai City, his little maid Tong Yao was helping him pack.

The little maid was holding a thick coat that had been neatly folded.

"Um, the weather forecast isn’t always accurate though."

Lin Shuang had a deep understanding of this.

Often the weather forecast would predict heavy rain for the next day, and then it would turn out to be sunny with clear blue skies.

Other times when there was a forecast for sunshine, it would end up raining unexpectedly.

"But I’m only going for two or three days, it should be fine."

He could hurry back for the weekend to make dumplings with Tong Yao, then deliver them to Yan Han.

It was only a two or three days’ trip, and Lin Shuang would’ve preferred to travel with just a backpack if he hadn’t had to carry some documents with him.

He liked to keep things simple; dealing with lots of bags could be bothersome.

The little maid meticulously sorted his documents and packed them in the suitcase, along with several sets of clothes to change into.

Other small items, like various charging cables and a shaver, were all carefully packed.

The little maid still wanted to include the thick coat, "There’s still some space left, Master. Just take this thick clothing with you."

Everything in the suitcase was tidy and well-organized—a true testament to his excellent little maid.

"Then let’s bring it, Ayao, I never knew this suitcase could hold so much..."

Lin Shuang would usually just stuff a few clothes inside until it felt nearly full.

He chuckled, "With so many things packed, it feels like I could even pack Ayao inside and take her with me."

The little maid blinked, "Can I, Master? Take Ayao with you!"

Lin Shuang caught the little maid who flung herself into his arms and spun her around by the waist twice.

"I’d like to take Ayao with me, too. But these next few days Ayao has a lot of classes, and she has to go to Teacher Xia for maid training."

Of course... that wasn’t the main reason.

The main reason was that Lin Shuang was going to Hai City accompanied by Miss Xia Yubing this time.

The two of them were going together to discuss in detail with a designer who was considering leaving Apple.

Although Tong Yao and Xia Yubing were both roughly aware of each other’s existence.

But still, it’s better to meet later on, not this time.

Anyway... they were bound to meet eventually.

Tong Yao, the little maid, nestled in Lin Shuang’s embrace for a while, "Mew~ In fact, Ayao could take a leave..."

"Ayao is a good student who never takes time off~"

"Ayao is just a little maid who’s very clingy to her Master..."

Lin Shuang chuckled softly, pressing his face against hers.

Although little Ayao had always been quite clingy, these past few days she had undoubtedly become even clingier.

Whenever he was at home, she wanted to stick close to him, to cuddle him at every possible moment.

Even when he was soaking in the bathtub, she would stay outside chatting with him.

She really could have come in to scrub his back! No need to act like such a stranger!

"Study well with Teacher Xia these next few days, Ayao."

"Ayao has always been studying well with Teacher Xia~"

"So when will you learn how to..."

Knowing he was about to mention back scrubbing again, the little maid covered his mouth with her hand.

"Let’s talk about it when Master returns from his trip, hehe."

As she said that, Ayao turned away her gaze while in his embrace, not daring to look at him.

Her cheeks slowly became tinted with pink.

Her cute delicate earlobes turned a soft, rosy hue.

She was just too adorable, so Lin Shuang couldn’t help himself and lowered his head to gently nibble on her little ear.

Then he was abruptly pushed down onto the bed by the little maid.

"Ah~ It’s so ticklish, Master! No sneak attacks on the ears, it’s cheating!"

The little maid scampered away with a "pitter-patter."

Scared off again by Lin Shuang~

This little maid’s ears... were really very sensitive.

How to put it, it was like the nape of a little kitten’s neck.

A kitten gets subdued immediately when you hold it by the nape of its neck.

And Ayao, when bitten on her little ear.

She too would promptly melt in his embrace.

Lin Shuang hadn’t even managed to land a kiss before being pushed away by the little maid just as he was leaning in with a breath.

Rolling over on the bed, Lin Shuang saw the escaping little maid poke her head out from the bedroom doorway, smiling at him.

He smiled too, stretching out his arms to her, "How about another hug?"

The little maid shook her head, "Master should get some rest~ We have to catch an early flight tomorrow~"

"You’re right."

"Sweet dreams, Master. Ayao will get up early to cook porridge for you~"

"Goodnight."

The little maid leaned on the door frame, smiling at him for a while longer before finally closing the door.

Ah~ How could Lin Shuang sleep after that!

Wide awake!

Lin Shuang rolled over in bed again and checked his phone.

Right then, his little apprentice Lingmeng had sent a message.

Tribute time is here!

This little apprentice sent another set of catgirl cosplay photos.

There were cute little cat paw doodles drawn on the picture.

White stockings on her feet, adorned with pink, plump, cat paw pads.

All that could be said was Lingmeng... truly understands Lin Shuang’s Windows XP system.

Got it down to a science.

This hardly counts as cosplay...

But Lin Shuang only wanted to say... go for it, more intensity!

That’s what he thought, but Lin Shuang still pointed out with a righteous tone.

"Little apprentice, who are you cosplaying as?"

Lingmeng lay on her bed, holding her phone in both hands, staring at the screen.

Upon receiving this message, she pursed her lips.

Indeed... it didn’t really count as cosplay.

She simply put on all the things she thought her master might like.

Lingmeng wiggled her toes, typing, "Do you like it, Master..."

Then deleted it one letter at a time.

Changing it to, "Master, the paw pads on these stockings are pretty soft..."

No, that seemed way too suggestive.

Next time, she’d definitely be caught by her wretched master and subjected to a vigorous foot massage!

Lingmeng felt a bit worried as she wiggled her toes even more rapidly.

The message she finally sent out was, "Master, guess?"

Lin Shuang really couldn’t be sure.

After all, he was a fake anime fan; he hadn’t watched many series.

Only some popular ones.

Maybe this character was from some obscure anime.

"Are you asking if I’m guessing? Little apprentice, has work been tiring these last few days?"

Seeing this message, Lingmeng fell into thought.

Why is Master suddenly asking if she’s tired?

Should she feel tired or not?

Is Master hinting again at relieving her fatigue?

Should she protest a little...

Heaven knows, Lin Shuang really just wanted to show some concern for his obedient little apprentice!

It’s all because this little apprentice’s imagination was too vivid.

He was innocent!

Lin Shuang pondered over the message he received from Lingmeng.

"Then, Master... please massage this disciple’s feet again tomorrow..."

This disciple sure doesn’t stand on ceremony.

Ordering her master around to massage her feet every day.

So brazen!

"Can’t do it tomorrow, I’m going on a business trip. Next time."

"Alright then... Goodnight, Master."

Why does it feel like this disciple is a bit disappointed~
