From Joy of Life to Becoming a Saint

Chapter 55 Is it tolerable or intolerable?

When Chen Qiye returned home, he went straight to the maid Xiaoling's yard.

The fact that the maid lived in a courtyard all by herself was enough to show that her status and position was no longer just that of a maid.

I arrived at Ye Xiaoling's room and was about to knock on the door, but as soon as I raised my hand, the door was opened. It was Qin Feier.

"Ah... Sir, you... you're back."

When Qin Feier saw Chen Qiye, there was a feeling of relief and a little surprise in her eyes.

This made Chen Qiye a little puzzled: "When did you become so close to Xiaoling? Why did you look so worried just now?"

Qin Feier pursed her lips: "I...I..."

"Alright, I just asked you casually, why are you so nervous? Just go about your business."

After a slight sigh, the door behind him was closed.

Chen Qiye walked around her and went straight in, completely ignoring the expression on her face which was full of words. Chen Qiye hated guessing what women were thinking the most, if she didn't say anything, he would just pretend not to know.

When I came into the room, I saw the maid Xiaoling sitting on the bed with her knees hugged, looking frightened.

It’s not her fault. After all, she is just a little girl and it’s normal for her to be timid.

"Master!"

When Ye Xiaoling saw Chen Qiye appear, her eyes turned red again.

Chen Qiye walked to the bed and sat down, and Ye Xiaoling threw herself into his arms.

"Young Master..."

Chen Qiye patted her shoulder and said, "Alright! This young master has already avenged you. If the people who rescued him were not helpful, they would have reported to the King of Hell by now."

"Don't be afraid, this won't happen again."

Ye Xiaoling twisted in his arms: "Master, Xiaoling is not afraid of this."

"Just now Miss Fei'er said that you really went out according to the location written on the note. Xiaoling is worried... worried that something might happen to you. Miss Fei'er is also worried about you."

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been so timid and kept this a secret..."

"Snapped!"

"ah···"

Chen Qiye slapped her on the buttocks and squeezed it hard.

"You dare to hide the incident from me, young master. I think you are not timid, but bold."

"Master, please be gentle, it hurts. Xiaoling just said that. Xiaoling doesn't dare to do it anymore."

Seeing that the little maid's emotions had stabilized, Chen Qiye felt relieved.

"Well, now that you are feeling better, you can rest first. I will go back and change my clothes. I came to see you even without changing my clothes after going out hunting."

After hearing this, Ye Xiaoling was so moved that she hugged the young master's waist tightly and refused to let go.

"Master, you are so kind to me."

"I know, let go."

Ye Xiaoling still didn't let go, sniffing and saying, "Master, actually, I... I'm still a little scared, can you stay with me for a while longer?"

In the past, Chen Qiye would either push her to the bed and beat her up, or slap her a few times and leave. He was not good at coaxing women and he did not have the patience for that.

But today the little maid was frightened, so Chen Qiye had to put up with her.

However, he underestimated the little maid's character of being well-behaved on the outside but rebellious on the inside. She was very dishonest when hugging him and kept teasing him silently, which made Chen Qiye very uncomfortable.

"That's enough. I feel sorry for you today so I don't want to bully you. Just be quiet and have a rest for a while."

Chen Qiye opened her restless little hands and said seriously.

The little maidservant is obviously a little tired now, so it's better not to harm her, otherwise it would be a sin if she faints.

"Oh."

Seeing the young master's serious expression, Ye Xiaoling did not dare to disobey. She let go of her hand obediently and was helped to lie down on the bed.

However, the young master still held her hand, which made her feel at ease. After a while, she felt sleepy and slowly fell into a dream.

After comforting the little maid, Chen Qiye got up and returned to his own yard.

But he didn't expect that just when he dealt with one woman, another one came. He looked at Qin Feier who was sneaking outside his yard with an unfriendly look.

"What are you doing hanging around outside my room with a plate? Do you want to drink with me again?"

Qin Feier bit her lower lip and whispered, "This is not wine, it's ginseng tea that Feier made. When I made it for Xiaoling, I also made some for you."

As the saying goes, don’t hit the smiling person.

Chen Qiye directly picked up the teapot and poured a cup, then drank it all in one gulp, pursing his lips and savoring it carefully.

Nodding, he said, "Hmm... not bad. I didn't expect you to know so much."

"Thank you."

Qin Feier was stunned: "Young Master...you...you..."

"What's wrong?" Chen Qiye looked at her with amusement.

"Drinking your tea and saying thank you scared you like this?"

Qin Feier did not answer, but just looked at Chen Qiye stupidly. She thought she knew each other well enough, but now she found that she still didn't know him well enough.

Seeing her standing there stupidly without saying anything, Chen Qiye was too lazy to pay any more attention to her and turned around and walked into his own yard.

But... after pushing open the door, Chen Qiye frowned and looked back.

"What are you following me for?"

"me···"

Qin Feier didn't know why she followed. She always had a feeling in her heart that she was unwilling to just say a few words, and she was even more unwilling to accept Chen Qiye's impatient attitude.

Recently, she looks at herself in the mirror every day. She wants to see if she really has no charm at all.

At the beginning, this guy clearly... seemed to like taking advantage of her, so why didn't he even look at her after coming to Kyoto?

The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved and unwilling Qin Feier felt.

"Nothing... Nothing. Fei'er just wanted to ask you, sir, if you want to drink some wine?"

Chen Qiye smiled, then nodded and said, "Okay, I have some on my table, pour it for me first."

After saying that, he closed the door.

The action of closing the door made Qin Feier panic, but she still gritted her teeth and went to pour the wine obediently.

Chen Qiye walked aside, took off his coat and hung it aside, then sat down at the table.

Qin Feier poured the wine and handed it to him: "Please, sir."

But I don't know if she did it on purpose. Just after she said "Sir, please", her hand slipped and the cup fell down, and it happened to fall on Chen Qiye, who immediately felt a cool feeling.

However, he did not react in a hurry, but watched Qin Feier's performance quietly.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Fei'er will... Fei'er will clean it for you."

As she spoke, Qin Feier took out a handkerchief to wipe him, but her hand was halfway there when she realized that the position was wrong, so she stopped there with a flushed face, at a loss.

After a struggle between herself and others, she still didn't dare to reach out her hand. But when she was about to withdraw her hand, Chen Qiye's lazy voice rang out.

"You said you would clean this young master, why don't you do it?"

Qin Feier lowered her head shyly: "Sir... I..."

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

Threatened like this, Qin Feier had no choice but to reach out her hand, but she only dared to touch it lightly and did not dare to press it.

"Use some force, how are you going to clean it for me like this?"

Qin Feier pressed down subconsciously, then woke up instantly, stopped her hand, stood up and prepared to escape.

But as soon as he started to move, he was caught by Chen Qiye and pressed on the table.

"Sir, don't."

"Pah! Don't want your sister."

Chen Qiye slapped down, causing a wave of vibration.

He was already furious because of the little maid, and Qin Feier jumped out and acted coquettishly in front of him, as if she really thought he was a good person without taking it seriously.
