Chapter 232: I Can Only Trust You (1/2)

”Well, can you think of someone? I can only think of one person when it comes to 'trust'.” Yuan said a moment later.

”Really? Who?” Yu Rou asked in a truly puzzled voice.

”Meixiu,” Yuan quickly answered.

”...”

Yu Rou turned silent.

”It's true that Meixiu can be trusted… But…” Yu Rou pondered with a perplexed frown on her face.

While she can trust Meixiu to take care of Yuan in her stead, even keeping his secret as Player Yuan, she was worried that they would develop some sort of relationship with each other from spending too much time together and that her relationship with Yuan might grow further apart as a result.

”Oh, right… She's your personal maid, nor can we really separate her from you just to help me, much less giving her such a burden that is me… That would be way too selfish of me. I guess we'll just have to find some random person to help me and hope for the best. If my identity as Player Yuan is revealed, it is what it is… I highly doubt that'll make my life more miserable than currently,” Yuan sighed.

”...”

Yu Rou turned silent once again, and then she said a moment later, ”Brother… Let me speak with Meixiu to see if she wants to help you. Of course, I won't command her or anything like that, and it will be entirely up to her whether she helps or not. How does that sound?”

”Are you sure? You've been with Meixiu for all your life, and she has been your servant for as long as well. I don't think I can really separate the two of you.”

”Don't worry, brother. It's not like Meixiu will stop helping me. Furthermore, I can say the same to you, as Meixiu has been in our lives for almost the same time, and she's almost like a second sister to us at this point.”

”I guess you can go ahead and ask her. However, don't force her, Yu Rou. Even if you are trying to help me, I don't want you to force Meixiu, because I won't accept her help if that's the case.”

”Who do you think I am, brother? I am not unreasonable like some people in this family. I won't force her— I swear.”

”Okay… If you say so.”

”Are you going to play Cultivation Online today?” Yu Rou asked him after their daily routine.

”No, I'll take a break today. There's nothing to do until next week, anyway.”

”Okay.”

After cleaning up, Yu Rou went to eat her own breakfast and prepared for school.

On her way to school, Yu Rou asked Meixiu while they sat in the car.
