The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts

Little Lingmeng showed Lin Shuang the witch clothes she brought, looking very cool. In this hot summer, it had a feeling of "If you bloom, the breeze will come".

—In short, there's not much fabric, it's breezy everywhere, allowing you to get closer to nature.

Of course, it also allows her to get closer to Lin Shuang.

He couldn't help but recall a saying, "I'm proud of my flat chest, saving fabric for the country?"

Lingmeng hugged the witch clothes in her arms, pouting, "Since Master doesn't like it, I, your obedient disciple, will just put it away."

Lin Shuang picked up this little cutie and spun her around twice, "How could I not like it? Your Master surely wants to critique it thoroughly, quickly present it!"

These clothes are not the type the village flower witch of Ji Family Village would wear during a blessing ceremony, but something she had Tong Yao send over from home a few days ago when she knew Lin Shuang was coming.

They are a special attack style for Master Lin!

Everywhere has convenient tear-open packages, like instant noodles ready to eat or straw-insert drinks.

Little Lingmeng gave Lin Shuang a peck on the cheek, "Master, don't move recklessly; my mom's still outside..."

She pulled Lin Shuang outside, "Let's go, today your obedient disciple will be your tour guide."

In the courtyard, Little Lingmeng's mother was still rocking on a rocking chair, leisurely fanning herself.

In this small mountain village, everything seems to slow down a bit; even the wind becomes gentle and soft.

"Mom, my master wants to go see the mountain, I'm taking him out for a walk."

"Alright, Ru Hua, make sure to entertain this handsome youngster well."

Lin Shuang responded with a smile, "Alright."

Su Wan and Yu Zhishui were still packing their luggage in the room; Little Ru Hua had already swiftly eloped with Lin Shuang!

"Ru Hua, does your mom think I'm really your master?"

"Hehe~ My mom knows I work at a milk tea shop, so I said you're the master teaching me how to make milk tea."

Little Ru Hua walked backward, hands behind her back, smiling at Lin Shuang, "Master, I haven't gotten too tanned, have I?"

Lin Shuang poked her cheek, "You don't look too tanned outside~ I'd have to carefully check other places."

"Master, don't say things that embarrass me in broad daylight!"

Little Ru Hua nibbled on his fingertips, "I'm the boss of Ji Family Village! Afraid?"

"Aren't you the village flower?"

The master and disciple joked and laughed, walking along the path to the mountain at the village's head. There weren't many households in this little village, with some distance between each, giving a tranquil feeling where sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard, but the villagers' relations were as close as family.

Every villager they met along the way warmly greeted them, inviting them to stop by for some tea.

Finally leaving the village, the master and disciple met a villager carrying a hoe, returning from the fields after farm work.

It was a dark-skinned short-haired girl.

Little Lingmeng softly introduced, "She's the neighbor's girl, a few years younger than me, named Ji Caixia."

Caixia waved her hoe at them from afar, being quite tall, her tanned legs appeared very fit.

"Ru Hua sis, eh~ have you finally brought a man back home?"

Ru Hua, glancing at Lin Shuang beside her with a smile, "He's a male actor filming in our village, named Lin Shuang."

Lin Shuang also waved hello, "Hey there."

Caixia stood before the master and disciple, leaning in to look at him, "Eh~ Brother Lin, you're so handsome."

The "eh~" in the local dialect sounded playful, rising and falling like singing, probably resembling folk tunes villagers hummed while working in the fields.

Ru Hua, with a touch of pride, puffed out her chest, "Of course the actor is handsome."

—My husband is obviously handsome!

Caixia cautiously poked his arm muscles, "Brother Lin, these muscles are alright, but not sure if they can handle work."

Lin Shuang gave a thumbs up with a smile, "They're alright!"

Caixia grinned, showing her white teeth, "Then Brother Lin, would you want our Ru Hua as your wife? Ru Hua is the village flower, there isn't a more charming girl in these hills!"

Ru Hua, a little shy, dragged Lin Shuang to run away, "Ah, Caixia sis, we're just going for a walk on the mountain!"

Caixia's lively voice lingering behind, "Ru Hua sis, seize the chance! If you don't want such a handsome guy, I sure do! Haha!"

Lin Shuang also found it amusing, "Did you hear that, told you to seize the chance."

Ru Hua gripped his hand tightly, shaking the bag with the witch clothes in the other hand, "Hehe, I'm well-prepared today~"

She cheekily poked Lin Shuang's abs, "Silly Master~ silly silly, alright or not?"

This mix of dialect and anime style is indeed... unexpectedly charming!

Lin Shuang tapped her, "Make sure not to cry later!"

Ru Hua playfully stuck out her tongue, boasting a bit more, "Silly silly~"

"Come on, say a few more lines!"

"Such a silly Master!"

Little Lingmeng then talked about Caixia, "Everyone in our village is like this, very enthusiastic and innocent, so pure. If I hadn't left, I'd probably be just like Caixia, happily living in the village."

"If Ru Hua hadn't left, I wouldn't have managed to bring you to my milk tea shop as an outstanding employee~"

"Destiny would surely make me meet Master, maybe it's because you came with Wanwan and Shuishui to film this time, that's when you met me and fell in love at first sight~"

Lin Shuang played along, "Love at first sight!"

"Poor me, even if I hid in the village, I probably wouldn't escape the silly Master's unwritten rules and would ultimately be taken away."

As the words fell, the village flower took the initiative to embrace, jumping to wrap her arms around Lin Shuang's neck.

The two had already walked out of the village towards the mountain, encountering no other villagers.

Lin Shuang carried this little village flower all the way, leaving Ji Family Village, heading to a small temple on the mountain top.

This small temple, far from the village, was surprisingly well-kept, with a thick layer of incense ashes in the censer, remnants of the villagers' blessings.

"Villagers come here to pray for good weather, and for the success of their children working outside."

Little Lingmeng pulled Lin Shuang into the temple and changed into her witch clothes.

"Does Master want to peep?"

"Since my obedient disciple requested it, I have no choice but to evaluate it boldly, right?"

"Dame dame~ being watched by silly Master like this makes your disciple a bit shy!"

"We're already an old married couple."

"Your disciple is still an innocent good kid! Silly Master!"

In the changed witch clothes, Little Lingmeng clasped her hands together and gave Lin Shuang a wink, then closed her eyes and began to pray sincerely, accompanied by a mysterious and elegant witch dance.

Just like that year, she sincerely prayed that Master would marry her home and be together with everyone forever.

However, this time, she no longer prayed to the gods but made a wish to Lin Shuang.

For them, Lin Shuang is their god.

Little Lingmeng slowly opened her eyes, "All done~ Now it will surely take effect."

Lin Shuang laughed, "Alright!"

Outside the temple was a lush field of straw, and Lin Shuang held Little Lingmeng, stepping into the depths of the wheat waves.

A wild summer breeze swept through, the wheat surged and bloomed, and they fell into this bright summer together.

"Alright or not?"

"Your disciple isn't alright yet... silly Master..."
