The Price of Rebirth [System]

"Be careful—" He grabbed the antique vase that was about to fall off the counter in time, and after placing it carefully, Zhang Chong let out a long breath, with some gratitude in his black eyes, "Fortunately, I'm quick."

"Yes, I'm sorry!!!" The maid holding the rag on the side looked terrified and flustered, her ears were flushed with her head down.

"Be careful, it's not okay to be so absent-minded during working hours." Zhang Chongji didn't mean to criticize her at all, there was only a gentle and soft luster in those beautiful eyes, with a friendly smile.

"I'm sorry!! I'm so sorry!!" The maid's cheeks were flushed with such a gentle tone, she was very embarrassed, but her eyes secretly glanced at Zhang Chongji cautiously with admiration.

"Although it's scary to say that, but these are all treasures, you have to be careful to protect them, uh," Zhang Chongji seemed to think of something, he nodded his lips with his index finger and said after thinking, "I remember that these are the Second Young Master's collection... "

"what--"

Hearing the words "Second Young Master", the maid covered her mouth with an exclamation and her face turned pale.

"En? What's wrong with you?" Zhang Chongji was a little surprised by her sudden change of face, and there was some worry in his eyes, "Is it because you are not feeling well? If so, go and have a rest. I can handle it here."

"No, nothing..." The maid patted her chest with lingering fear. Fortunately, Butler Wu caught it in time. Otherwise, according to the second young master's temper, she must be dead...

Thinking of this, the maid thanked Zhang Chongji blushingly: "Butler Wu, thank you..."

Zhang Chongji hooked the corners of his mouth, with a gentle and elegant appearance: "Just pay more attention in the future."

Such a gentle and beautiful appearance seduced the little maid, her cheeks were blushing and she looked at him with burning admiration in her eyes, and she became more and more certain in her heart that Butler Wu was indeed a gentle and considerate man!

But soon, she realized that something was wrong. Although Butler Wu was as considerate and gentle as usual, and treated others mildly, there seemed to be something wrong with his expression today.

The maid, who thought it was an illusion, looked at him more seriously, and the more she looked, the more she felt that Butler Wu's face was a little pale today, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was a little weak.

The object of admiration in her heart is so abnormal, the little maid finally couldn't help but ask, with a cautious and tentative tone: "Butler Wu, you look a little unwell today, are you sick?"

Zhang Chongji was stunned when he heard that, then rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly: "Ah, I feel a little dizzy, but it should be fine, thank you for your concern."

As he said that, he showed Wu Jing's signature smile to the maid.

"Ah, but, but if you don't feel well, you should take a rest, right? What if..."

"It's okay, it's not very serious." Zhang Chongji said with a smile, but frowned in the next second when he moved his pace and took a deep breath.

"Butler Wu?"

"Ah, it's okay..." Zhang Chongji smiled distressedly, and inadvertently played with his injured ankle lightly, "If you don't have anything to do, go ahead and call me at any time if you need help."

"Okay, Wu..."

"Hey, what are you doing over there!"

A shout interrupted the little maid's shy response, and the two of them looked around and found that it was the maid Ali standing there with her hips akimbo.

"Why did I get lazy without looking at it?" Ali walked over with a frowned face, pointing at the two of them impolitely with her index finger, "Is it time to chat during working hours! Be careful, young masters saw it fire you!"

"Sorry, Ali, I was negligent..."

Zhang Chongji looked at him with an apologetic smile, his soft-spoken attitude without the slightest airs.

"It's good to know. Have you changed the flower arrangement in the living room, and cleaned the young master's study? Really, you know how to be lazy! You came to Yuan's house to work, not to chat, do you understand?"

Zhang Chongji still nodded with a shallow smile, without the slightest grievance or anger.

However, Zhang Zhongji had such a good attitude, the maid standing aside couldn't bear it.

Who is this Ali?It is obvious that Butler Wu has a higher position than her, but she always acts like a boss and doesn't respect people at all. Since the old Butler Wu is gone, this Ali seems to be domineering among the servants. The work was pushed to other people, and the rest didn't dare to offend her because she had worked in the Yuan family for many years.

Especially the gentle Butler Wu, who was so close and easy to be around, was directed by her, and his fierce appearance was not at all respectful in front of the young masters.

Although Steward Wu didn't work for as long as the old Steward Wu in the Yuan family, his outstanding ability is obvious to all, and everyone likes him very much. Besides, Steward Wu treats everyone equally and is delicate, and he doesn't have the pretensions of being a manager at all. , how like this Ali! !

It's really not pleasing to the eye! !

The maid next to her looked at Ali with a displeased face. If that gaze could eat people, Ali would have been swallowed by her to the point where there was not even a bone left.

"Why are you still in a daze? The second young master wants to drink juice, why don't you bring it over quickly?" Ali didn't feel the maid's gaze at all, and glared at Zhang Chongji arrogantly, commanding him over and over again.

"Second young master?" Zhang Chongji was stunned, didn't there be no young master at home during the day, so he was going to spread the favor of Yuan's servants to earn rewards to pass the time.

"Why, as a housekeeper, you don't even know the itinerary of the young masters? How can you be a housekeeper? I don't know if the second young master just came back?" Seizing an opportunity, Ali began to chastise Zhang Chongji endlessly, her eyes smug The appearance is very obvious, "I'm still a housekeeper, I don't even know this."

The implication is that he is not the material to be a housekeeper, so it is better to let her be the housekeeper.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know about the second young master's return..." Zhang Chongji's tone became cold so far. This kind of woman who seizes the gap and chatters is really annoying, not to mention When the main target person comes back, there is nothing to do with her.

"I don't know? You're evasive enough..."

"Ah Li, in fact, Butler Wu is sick..." The maid at the side finally couldn't help but interrupted, but A Li stared back.

"What's wrong with being sick? Is a man so delicate?"

Zhang Chongji's eyes flickered, and then he pretended to smile wryly, rubbed his eyebrows and said softly, "I see, I'll bring juice to the second young master right away."

The maid next to her couldn't bear it, Ali was really disgusting, butler Wu was working with a sickness!

And Ali looked at Zhang Zhongji obediently leaving with the juice, and she became more and more proud. The new housekeeper is not a persimmon, she is very easy to handle.

Zhang Chongji walked away from the back with a very steady pace, and it was impossible to see that one of his ankles was injured. Only Zhang Chongji himself knew how much pain he had endured in his seemingly stable gait.

The ankle that had been plastered yesterday gradually subsided, but this morning he suddenly changed his mind. He tore off the plaster and walked in a normal posture. This undoubtedly aggravated the injury, which made the ankle sprain worse.

The tingling sensation from his ankle made Zhang Zhongji narrow his eyes dangerously, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a cruel arc.

The more happy people are now, the later...the more painful they will be, the pain that no matter how hard they struggle, it will be useless.

Huang Ali, Huang Ali, temporary tolerance does not mean admitting defeat, and you will know this truth in the end.

Zhang Chongji found out that Yuan Ke was in the indoor swimming pool of Yuan's house when he asked the servants with a glass of orange juice.

swimming pool...

Zhang Chongji raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes flashed a gleam, and then he felt his head getting heavier. Zhang Chongji supported his forehead and shook his head to keep awake.

It is true that Zhang Chongji is sick, as for how he got sick, he has to ask himself.

Now that we have decided to focus on Yuan Ke in the last week, how can we not work harder?Yuan Ke only eats the soft and not the hard, so all the tricks can play some role.

I thought he would catch a cold and have a fever after being exposed to the rain that day, but Wu Jing's physical health indicators are much better than he imagined. Zhang Chongji knew in his heart that just a sprained ankle was not enough to soften Yuan Ke's temper, so he came here this morning The Yuan family did something that seemed very stupid before.

He took a cold shower with his clothes on, and then sat and dried for half an hour.

Although the process was painful, the effect was remarkable. While taking the bus, Zhang Chongji felt a little heavy in his head and uncomfortable in his body.

I thought it would take a whole day to make this sick appearance come in handy in the evening, but unexpectedly Yuan Ke was at home during the day.

Should he be thankful that God is helping him?

The curvature of the corner of the mouth became more and more pleasant, and Zhang Zhongji endured the discomfort of his body and walked into the swimming pool in the courtyard as normal as possible.

It is very common for a villa to have its own swimming pool, especially for a family with such a huge industry as the Yuan family.

Surrounded by light ski white tiles is a square swimming pool with a sizeable area. The waves in the pool are rippling and clear, and the delicate flower-shaped stripes on the bottom wall of the pool can be seen. It is planted with neat but not single green tropical plants, which are lush; the main white lounge chair with blue stripes brings a pleasant and cool taste to the whole picture.

This is the beautiful scene that Zhang Chongji saw when he stepped into the backyard.

But he appreciated it flawlessly, and just walked straight towards the target person.

Yuan Ke was enjoying the sunbath in the swimming pool at this moment, and Zhang Chong himself couldn't help being suffocated for a moment with his handsome appearance like a god.

He was leaning against the swimming pool wall on one side, with his hands spread out on both sides, his head raised back, facing the sky, the resolute face line on the side was slightly soft under the light, his thin lips were slightly pursed, from the height The line from the handsome nose to the neck is smooth and seductive, the sexy collarbone, and the tips of his hair are still slightly stained with water, which slides down drop by drop into the pool along with the water waves. The perfect figure looming under the pool is just such a simple posture, but I feel that he exudes a deadly lazy and seductive aura.

As if aware of Zhang Chongji's gaze, he opened his eyes and turned his head. The dark and piercing sight almost made Zhang Chongji freeze in place.

"Second Young Master... the juice you want."

It was just a moment of stiffness, and Zhang Chongji quickly recovered. With a faint respectful smile, he knelt down beside Yuan Ke and delivered the juice, but Yuan Ke just glanced at him as if he didn't see it, and then closed his eyes again. .

The squatting posture made the ankle pain more severe, and some cold sweat broke out on Zhang Zhongji's forehead, but he didn't stand up immediately.

"Second Young Master? Your juice..."

"I don't want to drink now." Yuan Ke said lazily, with a slight hoarseness.

Zhang Chongji pursed his lips, and finally endured the pain and slowly stood up holding the juice.

Just when he put the juice on the white plastic round table next to him, Yuan Ke over there spoke again.

"I want to drink again now."

Zhang Chongji was stiff for a moment, but when he looked up, he found that Yuan Ke opened his eyes and looked towards this side at some point, but the sight of those piercing eyes stopped at Zhang Chongji's ankle.

Zhang Chongji was startled, but he picked up the juice again without changing his face.

The feeling of squatting down again is more painful every time, coupled with the feeling of dizziness in the head, Zhang Chongji thinks that he can support until now, but his perseverance is good.

"Second young master, juice..."

"Is your foot okay?"

Being interrupted suddenly, Zhang Chongji was a little taken aback, then lowered his head and said softly: "...it's okay."

"Okay then," Yuan Ke pursed his lips and said casually, "I don't want to drink juice anymore, I want to eat a meal, you go and get it."

Zhang Chongji lowered his eyes, bit his lips and stood up again enduring the severe pain.

It's just that at this station, his head was dizzy as if someone had hammered him with a stick, and his eyes were a little dark. A plan flashed in Zhang Chongji's mind, and his feet slipped and he fell backwards.

"Plop --" and the next second, Zhang Zhongji fell into the swimming pool with a pale face.
