Chapter 29: The Mysterious Butler's Night and Morning

  "I still hope you tell me the truth." Wang Yong said irrefutably.

  "Cough cough, I said that bottle is VC...I think you won't believe it either...right?"

  Wang Yong looked at me without saying a word, waiting for me to speak.

  I sat up and grabbed Wang Yong's hand, "This thing really can't be spread out, if it's spread out I'm done for, really done for. Can you help me keep it a secret? Although I don't know who you are, where you come from, or what you're doing here, you must be an important person, right? An important person like you won't make things difficult for a small and weak person like me, will you?"

  "You go first."

  Every cell in my body couldn't think of an excuse to get away with it, and after a long silence, I said: "My symptoms... fit the delayed psychogenic reaction."

  "Speak Earth language."

  "Post-traumatic stress disorder," I said. "If you don't take the medication, your emotions will be more numb, easily irritated, and easily excited. When having an episode, if someone approaches, there will be aggressive behavior - this is subconscious self-defense, really, if not touched, it won't attack, really! Very gentle and harmless... a kind of... emotional state?"

  Mood disorder? Of course not, mental illness.

  Wang Yong looked at me silently.

  I'm afraid of such silence.

  "I've said it all... considering my good attitude in confessing, can you help me keep this a secret? If you help me keep this a secret, I'll cancel the gambling appointment and you won't have to be my servant anymore. Isn't that a great deal? Think about it?" I looked into Wang Yong's eyes, pleading with him, "You will help me keep this a secret, right? Just take pity on me..."

  "Shut up!" Wang Yong's chest heaved violently, "I'll help you keep it a secret! Don't say anything else! Shut up... shut up..."

  He suddenly leaned in and hugged me, patting my back, whispering in my ear: "Sorry, sorry, sorry..."

  I didn't dare move, letting him hold me. After a long time, I gently patted his back and said, "Just keep it a secret for me."

  Wang Yong realized he was excited, let go of me, and helped me lie down. "You rest now, do you want to drink some water?"

  I nodded, thinking in my heart what kind of situation this was.

  Wang Yong poured me another glass of water and fed it to me, took out underwear from the drawer, wiped my back with a towel and handed it to me, "You change yourself, do you have the strength?"

  I obediently took a shower and changed clothes.

  "Go to sleep, have a good rest. When I was young, I was afraid of ghosts. My mother said that if you're afraid, just close your eyes and go to sleep. After sleeping for a while, the sky will be bright, and when the sky is bright, the ghosts will leave."

  "Alright... thank you, you should rest too, it's almost dawn."

  "Sleep tight." Wang Yong covered me with a quilt, "It's all my fault, I'm the one who asked you to see that scum, if it wasn't for me..."

  I understand, Wang Yong thought it was his fault, so he felt guilty. I looked at him pitifully and said, "When Deputy Director Tang hugged me, I was really scared. His breath on the back of my ear made me feel like I was going to collapse...it was like I had died again. Actually, my condition is very stable, you've seen it for yourself, it doesn't affect my work or daily life, as long as I don't receive a huge shock, I won't have an episode. So please don't treat me like a special case, and don't feel guilty..."

  It has nothing to do with him, the illness is here, and when the pressure becomes too great, it will recur.

  But his guilt, perhaps I can take advantage of it.

  I know it's a bit shameless to take advantage of someone's guilt, and what I'm saying now is also quite shameless, but I really can't let this get out.

  ……

  The next day at noon when I woke up, Wang Yong was still sitting on the chair beside the bed, his hand stretched into the quilt and holding mine.

  Experience, observation and temperament have long since made me distrustful of everyone.

  I looked at his tired profile and for some reason I suddenly believed he wouldn't say anything.

  ……………

  My action of withdrawing my hand woke up Wang Yong.

  "Miss, you're awake?" Wang Yong said with his eyes open.

  I sat up and said: "How come you're still here? Hurry up and go sleep for a while."

  "It's a great day today." He stood up, made a elegant spin, and put two sets of clothes on his arm to show me, "I have prepared two sets of clothes for you, young lady. Which one do you want to wear? The bright red color is suitable for matching the good weather today; the coffee-colored double-breasted suit can showcase your professionalism and wisdom."

  I blinked and blinked again, everything around me was as it was before. I shouldn't have crossed over, so "I'll just do it myself."

  Wang Yong knelt down on one knee: "Why don't you order me around anymore? Does the bet still count, my lord?"

  "Hmph..." I tried my best to appear calm, but couldn't help covering my mouth and laughing, "Stop it, hehe... thanks..." Given the current complicated situation, I didn't dare to order him around.

  "Give up? You're not like my master who's timid and fearful. I still prefer seeing your proud and arrogant face."

  "You said I look like a demon when I'm pleased." I smiled.

  "Yes, a perfect little devil. You make me unable to help myself, my lord."

  "Hmm... I haven't brushed my teeth yet..."

  "Yes, young mistress, may I take my leave first."

  When I finished washing my face and tidying up, Wang Yong came back from outside, with one hand on his chest making a bow: "Young lady, breakfast is ready for you - crispy egg rolls, super-thin shredded vegetable iron plate Q cake with wheat fragrance crisp cake, specially adjusted Mexican chili stew sauce, paired with the supreme white tea of Tianyuan, brewed with a thousand-year-old craftsmanship."

  Carrying on the thousand-year-old craftsmanship of brewing, Tianyuan's Supreme Hazelnut White Tea? What is it?

  My brain, now functioning normally again, processed the current information: “...You mean you bought Jianbing with extra chili sauce and added soy milk?”

  "Miss is really clever."

  We looked at each other and smiled, both very happy.

  It seems like there's something circulating between us.

  "It's strange, your orbicularis oculi and eye socket seem to have shrunk." I noticed something was off about Wang Yong.

  "What does it mean, my lord?"

  "It's nothing, it's nothing. I made a mistake."

  When looking at someone with sexual interest, a person's orbicularis oculi and eye socket will contract.

  "First get me a Tianyuan Zizun Hazelnut White Tea." This soy milk straw! How can't it be inserted?!

  I suddenly felt a bit embarrassed and lowered my head, subconsciously touching the back of my neck.

  When I realized what this action of mine represented, I scared myself silly.
