Chapter 1141 The Meaning of Going to Work

Su Weiyu, Su Weiyu, are you going to force Ashou to do such a thing for your own selfish desires?

Are you trying to ruin Ah Yue's sure-fire happy future?

No! How can you say that? What kind of brother-in-law is that stinking trash named Gao Wenhai? He sounds like an idiot pretty boy. What violet eyes, what mixed race, what handsome as Xia Shou? It all sounds unreliable.

No matter how you look at it, Ah Shou is definitely better, right? How could Ah Yue possibly turn down the good man beside her and go after that Gao Wenhai?
Yes! That's exactly right!

This logic makes perfect sense upon closer examination; it seems to be the truth!
"I understand!" Su Weiyu's eyes lit up instantly, feeling as if her mind was fully activated and she had completely seen through the truth.

She fabricated a non-existent decade, creating a "plot" that she considered perfectly reasonable.

"Ah Yue must have liked Ah Shou at first, there's no doubt about that!"

In the future, Yue will definitely confess to Shou, but Shou will politely reject Yue because she already has me. However, considering that I am her older sister, she will not tell me about being confessed to.

So, after being rejected, A-Yue had no choice but to give up on the person she truly loved and went to find a somewhat similar substitute, which is why she said at the time, "He's as handsome as my brother-in-law!"
Ten years later, because the die was cast and she was too embarrassed to reveal the truth about the past, she did not confess her true feelings.
"That...that seems to be how it is!"

A slow smile appeared on Su Weiyu's lips. She picked up the pen from the bedside table with trembling hands and slowly began to write on the registration card.

In fact, deep down, she fully understood that these statements were just unfounded associations, seemingly reasonable but completely lacking any substantial evidence.

But she didn't want to think about it anymore. She finally had a reason to make up her mind and alleviate her guilt. While her mind was still muddled, she wanted to do this "bad thing" as soon as possible.

Yes, as long as you finish it now, if you regret it later, it will only be because you acted impulsively and lost your mind at the time.

Su Weiyu wrote down Su Yue and Xia Shou's names with trembling hands, considered for a few seconds, and then filled in the date of the day after tomorrow.

She originally intended to fill in tomorrow's form, but considering that she might need to make some preparations in the meantime, she deliberately left a one-day buffer period.

Of course, she also wanted to take the lead herself so that Xia Shou could practice and familiarize himself with the moves, which would also improve A Yue's experience later.

Although she felt that even without this insurance, things would still be great, she had a lot of confidence in Xia Shou in this regard.

"Great, that should solve everything." Su Weiyu looked at the completed registration card and nodded in satisfaction.

……

……

8:00 in the morning.

Xia Shou carried the briefcase Alice had prepared for him, and had her help him put on his coat. He kept his head down and remained silent throughout the process.

Alice also became very silent, her expression a deliberately serious and stern one, yet a faint smile could be discerned beneath.

When Xia Shou woke up this morning, he genuinely felt that Alice wouldn't be so bad as a ghost who couldn't speak.

Of course, this doesn't mean Alice should become a ghost; it's just that the ghost Alice's responses to the outside world aren't as vivid as the current Alice's.

At least, Alice in her ghostly period wouldn't wear that subtle, meaningful smile while washing his messy pants and sheets.

When Alice woke him up, and he groggily threw off the covers, Alice's momentary look of surprise, followed by a fleeting, almost illusory smile, became an indelible image in Xia Shou's mind.

Adding to the dream he had last night about Alice and the minister, Xia Shou felt he really needed to see a doctor... maybe he was seriously ill. Damn it, this is so annoying.

I should just go to work. After working overtime for three days in a row, I need to clear my head. What kind of lewd nonsense is this brain filled with!
Xia Shou thought fiercely, and for the first time in his life, he realized how important work was to a person.

He finally understood why there were so many workaholics even though going to work is clearly the most meaningless thing in the world.

Sometimes, the only way to wash away unresolved emotional conflicts is through meaningless activities.

Therefore, men who have affairs or whose families are not harmonious work overtime all day long. Although working overtime is painful, this pain is less severe than other kinds of pain, so they can numb themselves by using pain to treat pain.

Xia Shou now firmly believes that it was the extra part of his life that appeared in the book that caused such a huge change in his mental state.

Is it his fault?
It’s not his fault!

It would be unbelievable that he didn't go crazy with Yan Jie's seductive methods!

Fortunately, he felt he still had some self-control. For example, yesterday, Xia Shou thought that any ordinary man would definitely not have been able to resist making a move on Alice.

But he's different from those male creatures with their brains located on the bottom... Yes, that's right, that's exactly it.

Xia Shou took a deep breath and said to himself: Xia Shou, you are the best! You are the true master of yourself.

Even the Scorpion's spine and that terrible life experience couldn't change your will. You did very well yesterday; you were able to stay clear-headed!

"Okay! Let's go to work!" Xia Shou said.

“Yes,” Alice replied softly.

Xia Shou immediately stopped in his tracks and looked at Alice behind him in surprise: "Hmm? Alice, you don't need to go, right?"

"Well... what about making coffee? And organizing documents, cleaning the desk?" Alice listed these daily tasks one by one.

"I can do it alone."

Alice froze, a rare look of fear crossing her face: "How...how can this be? I am Lord Xia Shou's maid, how can I let you do such trivial things? This is unacceptable!"

Xia Shou initially tried to explain, but at that moment, a long-dormant memory flashed through his mind like lightning piercing through the fog.

He recalled the conversation he had with Number 58 in the woods, about Alice's past.

Indeed, from the distant past to the present, Alice has always been a maid, and it seems that this is the rule she must abide by.

Thinking of this, Xia Shou immediately changed his mind: "I thought you had other things to do, like washing clothes and cleaning the room. If you're not busy, it would be great if you could come to work with me. I was worried that I wouldn't be able to handle it by myself."

Alice's slightly furrowed brows relaxed: "It is my duty as a maid to share the burdens of Lord Xia Shou."

However… it would be even better if you could give me your orders without any reservations, Lord Natsumori.”

Alice said this meaningfully, as if hinting at something.
