The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 396 - 395: Stay Tuned

"Everyone unanimously said they wanted to eat dumplings, so we’re making dumplings now."

Tong Yao cheerfully put an apron on Lin Shuang—still the pink one for women from before.

Several little maids had already prepared the dough, and now they were preparing the fillings together. Lin Shuang took over the rolling pin to roll out the dumpling wrappers.

Su Wan revealed, "It’s mainly because Xiao Han here particularly wanted to eat dumplings."

A speck of white flour was also on Yan Han’s nose, suggesting that everyone had worked together to knead the dough.

"Ah, making dumplings together makes us feel even more like a happy family, doesn’t it?"

This was indeed true; gathering together as a family to make dumplings during festivals was an activity that truly fostered relationships and brought people closer.

Little Ling Meng smiled and said, "Anyway, anything made by Mommy Yao is delicious~"

"I want to eat dumplings too."

Yu Zhishui tilted her head and thought for a moment, "I feel like it’s been a very long time since I’ve had dumplings."

Xia Yubing, holding Xia Yixin’s hand, asked her, "Yixin, when did we last eat dumplings?"

"Last year during the first lunar month, Miss."

While chatting, everyone prepared two big bowls of fillings—one with chive and pork, and one with shrimp and mixed vegetables.

Lin Shuang, with practiced movements, rolled out the dumpling skins, "I heard there’s a type of Spanish mackerel filling that’s very delicious, but I haven’t tried it yet."

Ayao nodded her head, "I’ve seen it too, Master, it seems to be a special product from the Northeast?"

Yubing laughed, "If you want to try it, next time I’ll get someone to send a couple of packs over to my husband~"

Xiao Han had already wrapped a chive dumpling and displayed it in her open palm for everyone to see: it was, to put it kindly, less than picture-perfect, but at least it was sealed.

"Although chive-filled dumplings are really delicious, they leave a taste in your mouth afterward!"

The dumplings Wanwan wrapped looked a little nicer, "Anyway, there won’t be any kissing scenes tonight."

Lin Shuang shivered silently, not daring to speak.

Yu Zhishui recommended her own carry-on candies to everyone, "I have a type of candy that can instantly make your mouth taste very sweet, I’ll distribute some after dinner, hehe~"

This little fool is an expert in the field of snacks.

Although Xia Yixin also had quite some knowledge about snacks, she was even more dedicated to potato chips.

Lin Shuang sneakily pinched the arm of Yixin next to him, the secretary who ate potato chips every day, and now it was clear that she had put on some weight.

This was irrefutable evidence of the boss’s extra care for his secretary!

Wanwan seemed to see Lin Shuang’s subtle gesture and asked him with a smile, "Lin Dasha, do you think that candy tastes good?"

Lin Shuang had indeed tasted it! If he was not mistaken, it was the same flavor he tasted in Shuishui’s mouth this afternoon in the auditorium, it was really very sweet...

He feigned ignorance, "Eat less sugar! What if you get cavities?"

Shuishui was about to argue that the candy was a sugar-free formula, and also that you just ate it from her own hand this afternoon, dear!

But this clever little dog seemed to smell danger and pursed her lips, not speaking, her eyes darting around cautiously.

Next was Little Ling Meng’s turn, she also displayed her neatly wrapped chive dumpling.

"Gou Xiujin, I’ve heard that chives have many benefits."

Yixin nodded in agreement, "...Master, you really should eat more of them."

There’s no kissing involved even in the evening! There’s no need to eat so many chives!

I guess they’ll just have to be kept as strategic reserves.

The seven little maids chatted idly, mainly taking turns teasing Lin Shuang. Seeing Lin Shuang rendered speechless, everyone looked at each other and laughed, filling the kitchen inside and out with a joyous atmosphere.

Lin Shuang and the little maids formed an efficient dumpling-making assembly line. With everyone doing their part, dinner was quickly prepared.

Having many hands make light work indeed~

Although the dumplings were made into all sorts of odd shapes, particularly by Shuishui and Xiao Han who almost wrapped them into meat-filled glutinous rice balls, none were leaking, and the taste was all delicious anyway because the fillings were prepared by the expert chefs Ayao and Yixin.

After finishing the dumplings, it was getting late. Everyone sat on the terrace to enjoy the night breeze and digest a bit before heading back to the kitchen to start the promised late-night snack of small cakes.

Lin Shuang tried to resist again, "It’s already so late, why don’t we do something more fun! Eating cream cakes this late at night will definitely make us gain ten pounds!"

"Anyway, it’s the master brother who’s eating, not us!"

"The meat will all end up on our dear Lin Shuang!"

"What are the other fun things Lin Dasha is talking about?"

"Dear master, just wait with eager anticipation~"

Seven little maids scurried into the kitchen and mysteriously locked Lin Shuang out, not allowing him to enter.

The isolated Lin Shuang had no choice but to play with Huahua on the sofa, giving her some cat treats.

"Huahua, oh Huahua, I’m going to gain ten pounds in a while, do you want to share half?"

"Meow!"

The little calico was indeed getting quite plump. There was no helping it, with so many girls in the house, they would always feed her some snacks. It would be a wonder if she didn’t get fat.

After playing with the chubby cat for a while, Lin Shuang started to smell the sweet scent coming from the kitchen.

Soon, Xia Yubing came out of the kitchen. She only opened the door a crack and then quickly closed it again, as if she was afraid that Lin Shuang would see something.

Lin Shuang smiled at Yubing who was walking towards him, "So secretive~"

Without saying a word, Yubing wrapped her arms around his neck and sealed his lips with hers.

It seemed everyone had tasted the sweets distributed by Shuishui, very sweet indeed.

The remaining small sugar ball was passed back and forth between their lips, quickly disappearing.

Yubing, still seeming unsatisfied, licked the corners of her mouth, "That candy was indeed delicious."

Lin Shuang leaned in to help her clean up a bit, "Did you sneak out just to feed me~"

"Do we still have other tasks arranged by our Maid Chief?"

As she spoke, Yubing took his hand, "Come help me take this off, dear~master~"

She was referring to the suspenders on her stockings.

As an authority in the world of stockings, Lin Shuang... was indeed familiar with the structure of these suspenders.

After all, the Xia enchantress in front of him often wore them when they played together.

She was wearing black stockings today, but the suspenders were edged with red lace, tied around her waist.

Lin Shuang helped her undo it, and then she stood in front of him, slowly peeling off the pair of stockings in a leisurely manner.

Okay okay okay, the black stockings faction is one member down again, but even though the Xia enchantress removed her black stockings, she’s still a bad girl and can’t be whitewashed, can she?

The Xia enchantress covered Lin Shuang’s nose with the suspenders-black stockings, "Smells good, doesn’t it, dear master~"

How could it not smell good!

Lin Shuang inhaled deeply, "Our Maid Chief definitely didn’t assign you this kind of task!"

With a mischievous smile, Xia Yubing wrapped the black stockings around Lin Shuang’s eyes, serving as a blindfold.

Wrapping it around several times, she indeed made it impossible for Lin Shuang to see anything.

"The Maid Chief asked me to cover your eyes for you, dear master."

Lin Shuang patted her lightly, "She definitely didn’t tell you to use stockings!"

"I’ll just say it’s what the master requested, there’s nothing I could do about it."

Xia Yubing leaned in for another kiss, "Alright, it’s coming soon, dear master, please look forward to it~"
