Maid Is Not Interested In Promotion Chapter 4

It is the hottest summer now, and the Second Master should take a bath and change his clothes before going to bed.

Following Chloe's previous instructions, Shi Jin asked the kitchen maid to fetch hot water from the side room connected to the main house and adjust the water temperature. Then he stood in front of the seasonal screen with ink-printed winter plum blossoms and winter snow, waiting for the Second Master's instructions.

Qi Mojing had his hair loose at this time and entered the ear room wearing only a moon-white lingerie.

After a while, the inner garment was hung on the screen that was as tall as a person, and then there was the sound of rushing water.

Even though Shi Jin was mentally prepared, he still felt a little nervous.

Thinking about it, she had lived for seventeen years and had never shared a room with a man other than her relatives, let alone helping others take a bath.

If my father were still alive, he would probably skin her alive.

Fortunately, Mr. Qi is not interested in women and does not like people to get close to him, so she does not have to be too embarrassed.

Just as I lowered my eyes to think, I heard Mr. Qi's voice, as clear and cool as spring water, coming from behind the screen, "Go get some clothes."

"Yes." Shi Jin instinctively wanted to take a step, but suddenly froze. She was silent for a moment, then pursed her lips and spoke carefully, "Where are my clothes?"

Qi Mojing paused while wiping, clenched his cheek, and felt a throbbing pain in his head. "In the third box on the east side of the inner room."

Shi Jin nodded hurriedly, but thinking that Master Qi couldn't see this action, he responded again and went to rummage through the cabinet.

Taking out a thin, transparent shirt made of water chestnuts, Shi Jin put the clothes back on the screen.

After a while, the sound of someone putting on clothes came from the other side of the screen.

When Qi Mojing walked into the inner room from behind the screen, he saw Shi Jin making the bed. The corners of his mouth twitched, but he was not so stupid that he was hopeless.

Master Qi's bed is made of precious red sandalwood and is a step-out bed with hanging flowers and carvings in the style of good fortune and prosperity. It has a spacious interior with a built-in footrest that is as wide as a person's. It is covered with a dark green patterned tent to keep out mosquitoes.

Qi Mojing stepped on the footrest barefoot, tapped his toes on the footrest, and then instructed Shi Jin, "You sleep on the footrest and keep watch."

Shi Jin couldn't help but widen his eyes.

It was difficult to even turn over with that footrest, not to mention that if the person in the bed got up at night, he would step on her.

This time, even Chloe didn't mention it.

Perhaps seeing Shi Jin's mood, Qi Mojing just smiled incomprehensibly, "What's the matter? Is there a problem?"

The cold look cast upon Shi Jin made her feel a chill running down her soles.

Even at this moment, even a fool would know what to respond.

Shi Jin shook his head like a rattle, "No problem, no problem..."

Qi Mojing was satisfied now. He went straight to the bed, closed his eyes, folded his hands on his chest, and slept in a very proper posture.

Shi Jin extinguished the candle tremblingly, and climbed up the footstool using both hands and feet.

The footrest was also made of rosewood. It was cold and heavy to the touch, and it felt very uncomfortable when people lay on it.

Listening to the shallow breathing sounds on the bed, Shi Jin had trouble falling asleep.

Perhaps she was too hungry, her stomach had already calmed down, only twitching occasionally, reminding her not to forget to eat.

Suddenly she remembered Qi Mojing's lazy and idle look when he was eating fish, and the huge fish that was left, and she felt a little dejected unconsciously.

She stared at the bed curtain with her eyes open until the person on the bed stopped moving, then she sat up straight.

After quietly glancing at the bed and making sure that the man was soundly asleep, Shi Jin stood up like a thief and secretly got out of the door.

She remembered that there was a plate of plain white ice skin pastry on the small table by the window in the inner room.

The pastries had not been touched, and the rich man probably didn't want to use them, so she might as well fill her stomach.

Shi Jin tiptoed towards the small table he remembered, feeling the things in the room. He almost tripped because he was unfamiliar with the place.

She was so frightened that she held her breath and listened carefully. After making sure there was no movement on the bed, she continued to move forward.

On the bed, Qi Mojing also had some rare patience. Listening to Shi Jin moving to the side, he just stared at the ceiling of the bed and couldn't help but snorted in his heart.

She looks calm and steady, and has a gentle personality, but she always has some insignificant little thoughts which, although funny, are harmless in the end.

Perhaps these appearances confused him, making him feel that this was the lively way a woman should look.

Therefore, in the previous life, he took her in and protected her under his wing.

As if he remembered something, the corners of the man's mouth curled up silently, and his appearance was inexplicably eerie under the shadow.

At this moment, Shi Jin knew nothing about the person on the bed. She picked up two pieces of cake and took a few bites. She noticed some cake crumbs falling to the ground, so she quickly caught them with her hands and stuffed them into her mouth in one go.

After she had some food in her stomach, she found her way back and quietly lay down on the pedal...

The next day, the sky was just getting light.

Qi Mojing put his left hand on his forehead and covered his eyes.

I thought that he would be a decisive and ruthless figure in my dream, but I didn't expect it to be a beautiful and erotic dream.

Turning his head and looking down, Qi Mojing saw Shi Jin huddled on the footstool. His gaze paused and fell on the pastry crumbs at the corner of her lips.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he stood up, stepped over the sleeping woman, and walked behind the screen.

Chloe had already rushed over from home at this time.

Seeing that her master looked unwell, she glanced at Shi Jin on the footstool with sympathy, and then hurriedly helped Qi Mojing wash and change clothes.

After washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Noah Shi rushed over from the front yard. He took over Si Qi's work and took out a black jade hairpin from a tourmaline box with a unicorn playing with a pearl and helped Qi Mojing tie up his hair.

Everything was ready. Chloe and Mia had already prepared breakfast. On the other side, Qi Mojing turned a corner and stood in front of the bed in the inner room.

He wore black boots with gold-rimmed cloud patterns, and tapped Shi Jin's body with his toes. The girl hummed, turned back, and murmured, "Brother, don't make noise. Sister will sleep for a while."

Oh, what a brave one!

Qi Mojing put some force on his foot, and Shi Jin's brows frowned for a moment.

Perhaps because of the pain, she opened her eyes dazedly, and saw a handsome man wearing a black crown and a black jade hairpin looking down at her coldly.

What’s even more hateful is that this handsome man’s foot was on her waist!

Shi Jin suddenly woke up.

She quickly stood up and touched her head to the ground. She was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on her face. She just lowered her head and dared not look around.

Qi Mojing stood with his hands behind his back. His gaze was as real as substance. He looked at Shi Jin for a moment, said "As a punishment, you won't be allowed to eat today" and left the inner room.

Shi Jin suddenly felt as if he had lost his parents, and he sat down on the ground with lifeless eyes.

After finally waiting for Qi Mojing to finish his meal and leave with Noah Shi, Shi Jin was still in shock.

Chloe felt sorry for her because she was new to the mansion, so she took her out of the inner room and asked, "I taught you so much yesterday, why did you get up so late?"

Mia also chimed in, "Thank goodness the Second Master is kind, otherwise he would have kicked you out of the house!"

God have mercy on me, this is also called kindness?!

Shi Jin pursed his lips and finally swallowed all the words in his heart.

"It's my fault. I won't oversleep next time." She stammered.

Chloe also knew that Shi Jin had been punished, so she directly asked her to be responsible for cleaning up Master Qi's room. She and Mia sat at the eight-immortals table, took their own chopsticks, and ate Master Qi's leftover food with steamed buns for breakfast.

Shi Jin was a man of quick hands and feet. He folded the Second Master's quilt, set up the curtains, and then put away the wooden barrel and other items used for washing in the side room next door.

After finishing breakfast and clearing the table, Chloe and the other two instructed the maid to get a bucket of ice from the ice storage in the back room and put it in the Second Master's room. Only then did they calm down and continue to do needlework by the door.

The maids outside who were in charge of sweeping the floor and taking care of the plants were all busy and cheerful, leaving Shi Jin alone, feeling extremely lonely.

Shi Jin couldn't help but move closer to Si Qi, "Sister, is there anything else I did?"

Chloe pointed to the inner room and said, "The plate of snow-skin cakes on the small table is a reward from my master."

---Boom! Shi Jin felt as if there was a thunder explosion in his head, and his whole head was buzzing.

At this moment, her mind was full of one thought: Second Master knew...

While she was daydreaming, Chloe touched her head with her slightly cold fingertips, "What's wrong? Why is your face so red again?"

Shi Jin had not left the house, so it was impossible that he was exposed to the sun.

She quickly pulled Chloe's hand down, with embarrassment still evident on her face, and asked Chloe in a low voice, "Second Master said that he would punish me by not allowing me to eat today..."

As soon as she said this, Mia laughed at her for a while, "Sister Chloe always says I'm stupid, but I think you're even stupider than me! Master only said that you can't eat, but he never said that you can't eat cakes?"

Shi Jin was stunned. It turned out that this was actually possible!

A smile immediately appeared on her face, "Thank you sister for your advice!"

As he said this, he hurriedly brought the plate of pastries from the inner room and ate with Chloe and Mia.

"Well, it's really delicious. This is the snack from Xiangju Tower, you can't just eat it casually!" Mia picked up a piece and took a bite happily, "Sister Chloe, you should try it too."

"Greedy cat! Don't let Shi Jin eat all of it, or she won't be able to eat today." Si Qi said with a smile.

Several people chatted and laughed while working. The young maid had quite a lot to talk about, and soon, Shi Jin felt that he had integrated somewhat into the group.
