I have a cub that escapes the boss

Butler: "Oh?"

Ji Hanchuan asked: "I want to know if there are any special customs here. If I give her a flower crown, it will cause misunderstanding."

He insinuated.

The housekeeper pondered: "Mr. Han, actually you don't have to..."

Ji Hanchuan interrupted him with a smile, "It's just to make me feel at ease."

The butler sighed, seemingly convinced by this reason.He took Ji Hanchuan all the way to the annex building, and on the way he proposed that he wanted to see the style of the corolla mentioned by Ji Hanchuan.Ji Hanchuan showed a little embarrassment, and said: "I picked it up when I was hunting in the forest. I think it is very delicate and beautiful. Although it is a bit old, it has a different charm. Anna is a good girl. If, I mean, this is not If it goes against local customs, I hope this flower crown can comfort her."

The housekeeper listened patiently, and saw Ji Hanchuan talking for a long time, until the two of them stepped into the annex, Ji Hanchuan's eyes fell around.The moment they stepped into the door of the building, the surrounding light quickly dimmed, and they seemed to have passed the intersection of light and shadow. Ji Hanchuan heard soft whispers in the shadow.Hearing the prestige, he looked over and saw a closed door.The butler didn't say anything, but Ji Hanchuan saw it and thought, if he considered it with an "optimistic" attitude, there might be other NPC characters in the manor behind it.A valet, a gardener...but not likely a cook, who should be in the kitchen.

He thought to himself: By the way, in the past two days, he hasn't dealt with anyone else in the manor.

The distance was constant, and they finally reached the door of the house where the maid was.When the housekeeper pushed his hand towards the door, he stopped, as if urging, but also as if silently threatening, and asked: "Mr. Han, what kind of flower crown are you talking about?"

He repeated the previous question.

Ji Hanchuan looked at him and smiled.Compared with the old castle, there are very few light sources in the annex, except for the door, there is only a very small and high window at the end.The last light of dusk came in, but because of the angle, only a small corner in front of the window could be found.

It's like gold is diluted and spread on the ground.

Ji Hanchuan stretched out his hand directly, followed the butler's action, and pushed the door.

The door creaked and was pushed inside.Ji Hanchuan raised his eyes and looked at the crowded and cramped maid's quarters.Through the shop, the stuffy air is oncoming.He saw Doris and Jyoti who were talking together, Vera who was doing manual work, and Anna who was lying on the innermost side.

Because of the sound of opening the door, all the maids turned their faces to look at Ji Hanchuan.These are not all maids, there are still some who work at Gu Bao's side, serving the young master's dinner.But at least half of them were there, so Ji Hanchuan looked at it, let go of the stone in his heart, and muttered to himself: My luck will never be so bad.

On the plus side, if these maids really have nothing to do with Corolla, most of them can be ruled out at once.

What's more, he squeezed the sheepskin book that he had been holding in his hand and hugging his chest, and quietly used it to protect his heart.

Inside the house, even Anna who was lying down was lifted up by another maid at this moment, and looked over weakly.

At this moment, Ji Hanchuan finally took out the flower crown on his chest slowly.When picked up in the forest, the corolla looked gray and not outstanding.There were small pearls inlaid on it, but they have fallen off, leaving the metal support.

However, at this moment, maybe because of the light, maybe the "game" is also suggesting to the player that you have found something useful.When he took out the corolla for the first time, he felt a soft light covering the little thing in his hand.Even the missing accessories on it, in the blink of an eye, have more blurry shadows.

Ji Hanchuan measured his body a little, and it was barely "wanted to block the sight of the maids so that he could confirm with the housekeeper".But in fact, from his point of view, nothing can stop him.

The butler narrowed his eyes, and the smile lines at the corners of his eyes became sharper at this moment.He lowered his head and looked at the things in Ji Hanchuan's hands.At the same time, Ji Hanchuan turned to the maid from the corner of his eye, and quickly scanned everyone's expressions one by one.Doris and Jody didn't take it seriously, Anna was weak and powerless, and the maid who supported her was worried about Anna.Monica, who was pale and cold, lacked interest and had already looked away.but……

Vera is different.

The red-haired Vera, who was busy with her own affairs, opened her mouth slightly when she saw the corolla in Ji Hanchuan's hand, showing a surprised and sad expression.Her complexion changed, perhaps because of the setting sun, Ji Hanchuan felt that it was the first time that Vera's face was so vivid.

It was no longer pure stiffness, nor was the young master angry when the door was opened yesterday when she was cleaning the door - the fear she showed because of it.

At this moment, Vera's expression is completely "human".Ji Hanchuan noticed her difference, and when his eyes slowly lingered on her, her body subconsciously moved forward, with a tendency to stretch out her hands.But as if remembering something, he shivered, then retracted to the original place, looking around anxiously and nervously.

After realizing that no one was paying attention to her, Vera breathed a sigh of relief, and her sadness returned, but she didn't dare to express it redundantly.

All this is complicated to say, but in Ji Hanchuan's eyes, it's just a flash.He seemed to be just out of "guilty heart", glanced in the direction of the maids, and then nervously waited for the butler's answer.

Butler: "This one."

His tone draws out.

Raising one hand, wanting to touch the flower crown naturally, it is better to hold it up, observe it carefully for a moment, and then come to a conclusion.

But before that, the young tutor in front of him seemed to change his mind suddenly.Ji Hanchuan gritted his teeth, as if he finally realized how unreliable it is to "just pick up a flower crown and give it away", so he withdrew his hand in frustration, put the flower crown back in his pocket, and said, "Forget it—" Mr. Cook, in my hometown, this personal item has a very special meaning between men and women."

The housekeeper blinked his eyelids, and said with a half-hearted smile, "That's it."

Ji Hanchuan was worried, and said, "I'm very conflicted." Sighing, he left it blank, "But, forget it, since you're here, you should muster up your courage."

As he muttered, he wanted to go inside, to Anna's side.

The housekeeper's gaze fell on Ji Hanchuan, but he did not stop him.

He didn't approach Ji Hanchuan either, but stood at the door all the time, looking at everything in the house with a posture almost "looking down".

In just a few steps, Ji Hanchuan walked past Doris and Jyoti who were leaning against each other and smiling lowly, passed by Monica who was looking at him coldly, passed by who hesitated to speak, but finally did not dare to let others know what he meant. Vera moved, and stood beside Anna.

He squatted down, but his pockets didn't seem to be packed properly.From Vera's point of view, if you look closely, you can see a little shadow of the corolla.

Ji Hanchuan pictured the Anna he saw that night in his mind.

He kept saying that he was "having a nightmare".But this was just a cover for the NPCs. Ji Hanchuan remembered very clearly that Anna's expression suddenly changed at that time, and the clothes on her body were undulating. It was obvious that something was crawling on her skin.Combining the "swishling" sounds in my ears, the lush tulip bushes, and the little guys under the flowers in the past two nights, the so-called "things" are not what he thinks about.

Of course, those beetles with orange and yellow patterns on their backs.

The real question is: Is Anna half-dead after what she's been through, or is she already dead?

If it is inferred from the perspective of the housekeeper, the answer is the former.According to Owen, it is the latter.

But the more likely, or Ji Hanchuan's more inclined answer from the beginning to the end is: there are problems on both sides.

Their words should be equally true and false.In other words, the danger that was revealed directly at the beginning may not be the real "danger".

For this reason, Ji Hanchuan stepped on the tail of "safety time" and came to check the status of the maid himself.Even Anna's "death" or "alive" is not the key point. What is really worth paying attention to is whether Anna still has goodwill towards herself-if the answer is "no", the question can be changed to: How much effect can those props play.

He was concerned on the surface, but in fact he was a bit careless. Looking at Anna in front of him, he asked gently: "Miss Anna, I heard from Mr. Cook that you are sick, so I want to come and see you."

At the same time, I thought: Anyway, my "luck" is not bad.Anna's position is at the place closest to the window in the entire room.If something goes wrong, at least you can escape through the window.

After hearing his words, Anna blushed a little on her pale face, and said, "Mr. Han cares about me so much, I really do, cough cough," coughed twice, and then put down the hand covering her mouth, "Thank you very much."

Ji Hanchuan stared at her, thinking: When she put down her hand just now, the shadow that flickered in her mouth was a bug?

With this thought, even the other maids around became subtle.

Ji Hanchuan said: "What are you talking about 'grateful'? It's just that you are alone, oh, and everyone."

He looked at the other maids, his voice was steady, and there was a strange force that made people feel at ease, "Working hard in a strange place, leaving parents and family members, leaving only myself. Such an experience reminds me of myself."

Anna watched him silently.

There was a trace of sadness on Ji Hanchuan's face, mixed with nostalgia.He said softly: "Anna, although we have only met a few times, I know that you are a brave girl. When you leave here and return home, you will have a wonderful life."

The blush on Anna's face deepened, and she began to cough again.The fingers covering his mouth were limp and weak, and the gaps between his fingers were slightly opened, and Ji Hanchuan saw the insect's feet emerging from it.

Thin black worm feet scraped against Anna's pale fingers.Ji Hanchuan suspected that more than one beetle might have been coughed into the palm of Anna's palm, and then swallowed back by her with some difficulty.But even at this time, Anna still maintained a positive and non-aggressive stance in the face of Ji Hanchuan who was "unaware".

Seeing this, Ji Hanchuan couldn't tell if he had earned Anna's friendliness through his previous actions, or if there was another reason.

He said a few more words, the central idea was to describe his behavior of coming to visit Anna as "sympathy for those who work hard in a foreign land".The topic of flower crowns was not mentioned again, but Ji Hanchuan intentionally mentioned pocket watches, sketches, letters, and writing on linen with charcoal pens.When he spoke, he kept an eye on everyone, silently recording whether they showed any difference.But maybe he spoke too implicitly, so only Monica raised her eyebrows slightly when Ji Hanchuan mentioned "charcoal pencil".

The sun is slowly setting.

Before the last ray of light disappeared, Ji Hanchuan stood up and walked outside.

He met the eyes of all the maids and the butler.When walking back to the housekeeper, Ji Hanchuan drew a sign of the cross on his heart."God be with Anna," he said.

The housekeeper was silent for a moment, Ji Hanchuan felt that he might be smiling.But at this moment, the butler still picked up Ji Hanchuan's words.

"Yes," said the steward, "may Anna be well and well."
