Chapter 6: Still Stupid

Bao Mianmian took a bath, acting like a thief, turning her head back eighteen times.

That young master, although he was a bit mentally unstable, probably wouldn't barge in.

However, the door to the washroom couldn't be locked, and there was a beautiful youth squatting outside.

Bao Mianmian could only use four words to describe her current mood.

Fucked.

She used to love watching fresh meat the most.

At this moment, having fresh meat waiting while she bathed, she should probably feel honored.

She thought about puffing out her chest and taking a deep breath, but decided against it.

She hurriedly used the wooden bucket to scoop water twice, pouring it down from her head.

The sound of splashing water.

Would the noise be too loud?

It was said that some people could sense a reaction just by listening to sounds.

Hopefully, the one outside wasn't one of them.

*Knock, knock, knock.*

Bao Mianmian's arm was still held high with the wooden bucket, frozen mid-air.

Someone was knocking on the door—what was the situation here!

The door isn't locked, the door isn't locked, the door isn't locked.

Important things must be said to oneself three times.

"The door isn't locked!"

As it turned out, she couldn't keep it bottled up and shouted it out loud.

The wooden bucket slipped, rolled, rolled, and rolled to the door before stopping.

Bao Mianmian looked at the bucket in terror, fearing that someone would push the door open the next moment.

It was so quiet outside.

Could the knocking just now have been an illusion!

"Can you cook yet?"

Yuan Bai had been waiting outside for a while and was getting tired; his legs were sore from squatting.

He knocked politely, and then received three words.

The door isn't locked.

What did that mean?

Bao Mianmian wiped her face haphazardly and put on her clothes as fast as possible.

She held her breath the whole way, nearly suffocating herself.

Yuan Bai heard the splashing water and the clattering, chaotic noises from inside.

Then, the door opened from the inside.

Bao Mianmian jumped out.

She literally jumped out; her hair was completely wet, and there were water droplets on her eyelashes.

She pretended to be very elegant, brushing her hair back with her fingers.

"Let's go, let's go cook."

Fortunately, it was this one outside.

Bao Mianmian looked back at him as she walked, admiring his fair skin and bright red lips.

If he had actually barged in, there was no telling who would have come out the loser.

Yuan Bai tilted his head to look at her.

"What, did you look much prettier after washing up?"

She knew it; if he didn't have a good impression of her, who would want to squat outside a female washroom.

"You're walking in the wrong direction."

Yuan Bai told her very kindly.

Big Brother once said that some people's brains don't work well, and this sister must be one of them.

How pitiful, she was already unremarkable-looking.

And she was stupid.

Yuan Bai gave her an extra sympathetic glance; at least she knew how to cook.

He would ask Big Brother later to let this idiot stay.

Otherwise, she would surely starve to death on the streets sooner or later.

Bao Mianmian was still feeling smug when Yuan Bai's words...

Made her crash headfirst into a tree trunk.

Heavens, where did this tree come from, blocking the middle of the path!

Who did they hire to check the Feng Shui of the Prince's Mansion!

They should have known that trees shouldn't stand in the middle of the path, or people would hit them and bleed.

Her forehead throbbed, it really hurt.

Bao Mianmian knew she had hit it hard; a bump had formed on her forehead, and it looked like it was growing.

"Young Master, could you please lead the way?"

As Bao Mianmian rubbed the large bump, she became even more lost regarding north, south, east, and west.

She absolutely refused to admit she was directionally challenged.

A directionally challenged person couldn't possibly find Fuyang City from such a remote village.

That was impossible!

Yuan Bai was in his own home, so he knew the way like the back of his hand.

He very steadily led her to the outside of the kitchen.

Bao Mianmian's head was soaking wet and being buffeted by the wind.

She couldn't tell if it hurt from the collision or the wind; either way, her head ached.

When she looked up, she saw a familiar face coming out with murderous intent.

The one who blanched the cabbage!

Bao Mianmian was quite good at recognizing people.

The Head Steward called this man Da Guo; she was still trying hard to figure out what to call him.

Da Guo was already walking over with a cold sneer.

"Didn't I say tomorrow morning? Why are you in such a hurry to come here? Do you want to..."

"Eat."

Yuan Bai cut him off directly.

Da Guo gasped, his expression changing with incredible speed.

If Bao Mianmian had a camera, she would have definitely taken a picture.

That's how an award-winning actor is made.

Angry one second, smiling the next.

If it were her, she definitely couldn't do it.

"Young Master, you rarely come this way. If the Prince finds out, he will blame us."

As he said this, Da Guo was hunching his back and bowing his waist.

So, he didn't see that Yuan Bai was actually speaking to Bao Mianmian.

He didn't know the other person, and she had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, Yuan Bai was convinced that Bao Mianmian was a dummy.

Fearing she wouldn't understand, he pointed at his mouth and patted his stomach.

Bao Mianmian watched his series of movements; they were incredibly fluid.

He even used sign language, as if he feared her ears had problems or her IQ wasn't high enough.

She looked at Yuan Bai, then at Da Guo.

She decided to just go for it.

"You can't catch a wolf without risking the child."

Actually, that phrase didn't seem quite right for this situation.

Then, "Knowing there are tigers in the mountains, yet still heading toward them."

Forget it, let's use common words.

If she had to offend someone, it was more important to protect the young master.

Da Guo didn't get a response from Yuan Bai, but instead saw Bao Mianmian swaggering toward the kitchen.

"Who do you think you are? Is this a place you can just barge into!"

He was instantly enraged. Losing a competition to a girl from out of town was a grievance he couldn't swallow.

Now, this was like a sparrow occupying a dove's nest.

How outrageous! She had absolutely no respect for him as the kitchen steward.

He, Da Guo, was a man of some standing in the Cheng Prince's Mansion.

If he were stepped on by this maid today, how could he show his face in the future?

Bao Mianmian hadn't expected it to be this smooth.

This man had disliked her from the start.

However, she had the young master backing her up.

It wasn't her who wanted to eat, it was the young master!

"My surname is Bao, as in Baozi."

"I think you're just a brainless Baozi."

Da Guo reached out, intending to grab her arm.

His hand was as large as a palm leaf fan.

It was like an eagle trying to grab a chick.

Bao Mianmian did not dodge.

She only looked innocent and harmless on the surface.

Did he really think she was easy to bully?

She had been mentally prepared since the Head Steward spoke.

Since she had already offended them, she wouldn't be polite.

She was a 3D beautiful girl who had studied female self-defense, okay!

How could she be caught by Da Guo?

There was no one else around to watch.

Yuan Bai heard Da Guo let out a scream of pain and then fall to the ground.

Before he could even react...

Bao Mianmian marched past him with great spirit and entered the kitchen.

In the Prince's Mansion, the kitchen was guarded twenty-four hours a day.

No one knew if the Prince might want something hot in the middle of the night.

Just now, the people inside had seen Da Guo rush out.

A collective thought crossed their minds: this was a personal vendetta; Da Guo was taking advantage of the situation to bully someone.

But Bao Mianmian had only just arrived at the mansion today.

The Prince had only said, "Let's try it first," and who knew if she could actually stay.

No one would offend the steward for her sake.

When they heard the scream, everyone's heart jolted.

What kind of situation was this!

As soon as Bao Mianmian entered, everyone lowered their heads to work.

She treated them like air.

Anyway, with her foundation as a top student, she could chop, boil, fry, and sauté.

She possessed eighteen different skills.

"Young Master, what do you want to eat?"

Yuan Bai was even more direct: "Food."

This child was starving; his eyes and heart were filled with nothing but food.
