CHAPTER 5

Become a Maid

Startled, An Chuxia looks at Han Qilu. Who knows whether he’s saying these things jokingly? He deliberately wants to upset her.

Naive!

An Chuxia adjusts to the moment. She slightly nods and smiles at everyone. “I hope to be good friends. I will help with whatever is within my capacity.”

Stars flash in the girls’ eyes as they stare at An Chuxia and Han Qilu. They realize the quickest way to be with the young master is by being his maid!

Seeing how his plan to slander Chuxia failed, Han Qilu enters the College unhappily.

Steward Han pushes girls out of the way so An Chuxia can pass. He says, “Miss An, you’re obviously young master Han’s future mistress, how can you be his maid? If this gets to the Lady and Master, I don’t know how to die!”

An Chuxia shrugs and holds the steward’s shoulder. “You don’t have to say anything to ayi and shushu. Anyway, the young master is just being mischievous. And… I can do what young master Han wants. So, if this makes him happy, I’ll consider this my contribution.”

Looking at An Chuxia’s relaxed disposition, steward Han shakes his head. “Well, since you said it… Let’s go and meet the principal in his office. If they want you to do anything, come get me at the principal’s office and I’ll do it for you.”

An Chuxia nods, but she vows never to trouble the steward. She was raised to do a lot of work. Doing some maid duties shouldn’t be difficult. Moreover, those girls seem to be friendly to her. It shouldn’t be difficult at all.

As she enters Stein, she quickly understands what makes it a ‘Royal College’. The architectural design of the building is a mix of European and American: seemingly the same style, but different, after a closer look. For example, the main building has a steeple, but the building next to it has a dome. Much to An Chuxia’s surprise, a huge ancient clock stands in the middle of the white building.

The bell rings. A group of white pigeons ascend to the sky, marking time passing.
