Chapter 165 Disconsolate“Please, please allow me to stay here… I can do anything…”
Ning Keke had natural brownish curly hair, and a b.u.t.terfly-shaped pink hairpin was clipped over her left ear. Her hair just lay on her shoulders, slightly trembling because of the fear she felt.
She had obviously been born into a rich family, as she did not look like a child who had done many ch.o.r.es. However, she behaved politely. Judging by the way she had drunk up the whole cup of water, she had obviously been thirsty, yet she had still taken small sips and made no sounds.
Moreover, her clothes were valuable, while her pet.i.te body was obviously over-nutritioned. She looked fleshy.
Of course, her fleshy appearance did not mean that she was fat. It only meant that she was symmetrical and had a healthy body.
Xiao Ling had a beautiful figure as delicate as carefully-carved jade. She was a masterpiece of the creator.
Health-wise, Xiao Ling was a little thin. For example, her small exquisite collarbone was visible on her tender shoulders. Xiaofeng often touched Xiao Ling"s body and knew her proportions. Her body was tender and smooth, but thin indeed.
Ning Keke was different. Her skin was tender and delicate, while the curve of her shoulders was perfect and seamless. She looked young, but one could not see her collarbone. Xiaofeng could guess that she felt much more tender than Xiao Ling.
In general, the two girls were almost the same height. However, Xiao Ling"s figure was slim, while Ning Keke was puppy-fat and had well-developed b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Keke was much healthier than Xiao Ling and obviously over-nutritioned.
Xiaofeng believed that Ning Keke was from a rich family. She dared not look straight at people and lowered her head when she was speaking. Her voice was weak and inaudible. This behavior meant that she was like a canary or a frightened rabbit that did not always communicate with other people.
This little rabbit that should be protected was somewhat upset and dusty.
“Stupid servant! Highness Zero is hungry! I want to have lunch… Ah!”
While Xiaofeng was finding it hard to decide what to do with Ning Keke, Xiao Ling came for him. She had gotten tired of playing games and approached Xiaofeng. However, when she noticed that there was another girl in her home, she burst into screams.
“Ah! You stupid man! Beast of estrus! Animal of l.u.s.t! How dare you look for a new woman as soon as I left you for a while?”
Xiao Ling rushed towards them angrily, looking at the unfamiliar Ning Keke with hostility. When she noticed that Ning Keke"s b.r.e.a.s.t.s were fully-grown, even though their height was similar, anger nearly erupted out of her blue eyes.
“See? This is the person you have to look after. She"s really naughty. Are you sure you can serve her well?” Xiaofeng asked Ning Keke helplessly.
Ning Keke was obviously scared by Xiao Ling"s behavior, which made her tremble slightly. She glanced at Xiao Ling secretly, but when she realized that Xiao Ling was still a little girl, she looked relieved. Xiao Ling"s beautiful appearance amazed her.
“I, I will definitely try my best…”
“Well, the first test is making lunch. I will prepare a working list over this period. If you finish everything well, you can stay.”
Xiaofeng thought for a while. He actually preferred Ning Keke to stay.
On one hand, Ning Keke seemed to be weak. It was in a man"s nature to protect a woman, and Xiaofeng was a man. Besides, Ning Keke was a yellow-bellied girl.
Obviously, Ning Keke must have gotten into some kind of trouble. If Xiaofeng did not help her, given her weak personality, she would suffer some losses if she met any bad guys. She had been lucky to find the recruitment announcement that Xiaofeng had published online.
Plus, Ning Keke"s age was similar to Xiao Ling"s. They could get along well with each other.
What was more, Xiaofeng was always afraid that Xiao Ling would be bullied by babysitters. Based on Ning Keke"s weak personality, she would not hurt Xiao Ling. On the contrary, Xiao Ling might be the one to take advantage of her.
At last, according to this morning"s plan, Xiaofeng wanted to find Xiao Ling a home tutor. Since Xiao Ling did not want to go to school, Xiaofeng naturally would not force her. However, Xiao Ling should not leave her studies behind. A good child like Ning Keke had to be good at studying. Besides, she had to be at a similar grade to Xiao Ling.
“Thank, thank you so much! I, I can go cook now!”
Ning Keke expressed her grat.i.tude. Under Xiaofeng"s guidance, she went to the huge kitchen of the villa.
“Hey! Don"t ignore Highness Zero! What did this woman mean? Why take her in? Have you gotten Highness Zero"s approval?”
Xiao Ling was out of her mind with anger. She threw herself into Xiaofeng"s arms and spoke with her teeth gnashed.
“You said you didn"t want to go to school, but I need to play video games from time to time. I am afraid that you will get bored when you"re alone, so I have to find someone to accompany you and help you with your homework.” Xiaofeng thought for a while before he spoke. He considered how to make Xiao Ling accept this.
“Why did you make this decision before chatting with Highness Zero?”
Xiaofeng was sitting on the sofa and leaning against a cushion, while Xiao Ling was sitting directly on his lap. She grabbed the neckline of Xiaofeng"s T-shirt as she questioned him. Dissatisfaction filled her face.
“I told you this morning. This is a condition if you don"t go to school. I will find a tutor to help you with your homework.” Xiaofeng"s words evaded the most crucial point.
“Nonsense! You obviously employed a babysitter! You are such a psychopath! You actually employed a juvenile as a babysitter! Are you planning to live with a Lolly Nanny? Are you preparing a special service like morning call?” It was obvious that Xiao Ling would not accept his words.
Xiaofeng, who found it difficult to deal with this girl, could only allow Xiao Ling not to go to school. He tried every possible way to persuade her and kept Ning Keke there, which made Xiao Ling"s hostility toward Ning Keke deeper.
Xiaofeng had no other option. Fortunately, Xiao Ling was not bad, so she would not do something insane to hurt Ning Keke.
“Huh? What"s that smell?”
Xiaofeng had been writing down Ning Keke"s responsiblities, while Xiao Ling had gone back to the movie hall to play video games angrily. However, Xiaofeng suddenly smelled burned food.
He immediately got up and looked in the direction of the kitchen, as the smell came from that way.
Xiaofeng, who was stunned, put down the pen and paper and rushed over there, only to find a nervous and overwhelmed Ning Keke.
“Em, em… I will finish at once…”
The size of the villa on the mountain was not small, so the kitchen could contain more than 10 cooks. Ning Keke was standing in front of a stove, her tender face stained with a drop of soy sauce or some other kind of oil as she spoke to Xiaofeng nervously.
“Well, don"t worry about it. Just do it.”
Xiaofeng nodded and left, feeling a litttle confused. He had confirmed that his sense of smell was fine and the burned food had indeed been in the kitchen.
When Ning Keke put the food on the table, Xiaofeng could finally confirm his theory.
“Is this fried black fungus?”
Xiaofeng looked at the table and the plate full of black food as he asked Ning Keke, who was standing over there nervously, this question. The burned food was in the dish.
“No, no… This is a carrot…” Ning Keke said in a low voice. She lowered her head to her well-developed b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Xiaofeng, who was stunned, looked down at the black dish, which was the only food made by Ning Keke. However, this plate was… completely black. Nothing on it resembled a carrot.
Xiaofeng was unwilling to pick up the chopsticks and hesitant to taste it.
“Stupid servant! Do you want to die? You will die if you eat this!”
Xiao Ling had just finished the game and walked over. Although she was starving, when she saw this, she suddenly panicked and stopped Xiaofeng while staring at the trembling Ning Keke.
“Are you trying to kill us, you vicious woman? How can we eat such horrible food?”
Xiaofeng quickly stopped Xiao Ling. Ning Keke"s eyes had turned red, and her slim body was trembling. She looked like an overwhelmed rabbit.
“It"s fine. Everyone makes mistakes. At least, the porridge is not bad.”
Xiaofeng still dared not try the black carrot, so he opened the rice cooker. At least, the porridge still smelled good.
“I, this is rice…” Ning Keke said in a low weeping voice. Even she had no confidence in herself.
Xiaofeng remained silent for a while before he finally put down the chopsticks. He hesitated to look at Ning Keke, who was crouching in fright.
“Do you… not know how to cook?”
His words immediately overwhelmed Ning Keke, who wiped her eyes and answered in a weeping voice.
“I, I am very smart! I can learn how to cook! Please, please don"t tell me to leave!”
Xiaofeng was somewhat disconsolate. However, when he glanced at Ning Keke"s anxious expression, he did not want to let her down. After all, she was just a 14-year-old girl. If she had not gotten into trouble, she would have been the princess of a greenhouse.
“It"s okay, cooking is easy. You can learn in the future. This is what you have to do. Can you do it?”
Xiaofeng handed over the paper where he had previously written down his demands as he spoke to Ning Keke.
“I can!” Ning Keke seemed to cheer herself up as she took the paper from Xiaofeng carefully and read it seriously.
“Tutoring Xiao Ling… This is what I am good at! I will definitely do my best!”
Her first duty was tutoring and helping with homework. Ning Keke, who was relieved to see this, had a happy expression on her oil-stained face.
“Who allowed you to speak about me like this? You should call me Highness Zero, understand?” Xiao Ling said immediately as she looked at Ning Keke with dissatisfaction. She seemed to be more hostile to Ning Keke now.
“Yes, yes… Your Highness Zero…” Ning Keke was trembling in fright as she answered, glancing at the beautiful Xiao Ling. She knew that the person she needed to serve was this girl, who was younger than her.
Xiaofeng was relieved when Ning Keke said she could tutor and Xiao Ling did not deliberately create more difficulties for her. Then, he turned to the kitchen, thinking that he needed to cook on his own temporarily.
