The School Beauty Became My Live-in Maid to Pay Off Her Debts-Chapter 400 - 399: Don’t Lead Her Astray

Tong Yao bit her spoon and suddenly said softly, "Oh right, we haven’t sung the birthday song yet."

Once singing was mentioned, Yu Zhishui took the lead and started a tune, "Happy birthday to you~"

Lin Shuang then sat together with seven girls, clapping their hands and singing the birthday song.

Toward the end of the song, everyone looked at him amidst the flickering candlelight, "Happy~Birthday~Lin Shuang~"

Lin Shuang clapped the loudest, "Hmm~We’re all family so no need for thanks. Anyway, we should celebrate like this together every year, right?"

"Looking at our master brother so smug, I really feel like kicking him!"

"I’m already kicking him!"

Wanwan stretched out her long leg and gave Lin Shuang a light kick over Tong Yao, causing him to cry out exaggeratedly, "Ouch!"

Little Ling Meng also kicked up her little legs in the air and gave Lin Shuang a kick, laughing and saying, "Sister Shuishui’s singing of the birthday song is so nice too!"

"Everyone sang very well too~"

"Except Xiao Han was a bit off-key."

"Sister Wan, don’t expose me!"

Everyone laughed and finished their cakes, even Su Wan and Yu Zhishui who were always controlling their diets ate up, since it was a justified "indulgence day."

Lin Shuang took a few more glances at Yu Zhishui who had cleaned her plate thoroughly, the silly girl averted her gaze feeling guilty.

"My dear host, why are you looking at me... I’ve been eating just grass for several days to come to dear’s home for the birthday, so it’s okay to eat a bit more delicious food today!"

Wanwan vouched for her, waving her tiny fist at Lin Shuang, "Lin Dasha, you dare not let us eat!"

Lin Shuang waved his hand with a smile, "It’s fine to eat more... So what’s next on the agenda?"

Are there any more exciting programs left, or should we just go to sleep?

The time was almost one o’clock in the morning.

Little Ling Meng jumped energetically, "Of course we play until dawn!"

Yu Zhishui too raised her arm and shouted, "Yay! Play until dawn!"

This silly girl seemed like she had never pulled an all-nighter before, a good student who always went to bed early and got up early; now that the "exams" were over, she wanted to indulge herself by staying up all night in an internet cafe for the first time.

But Shuishui did stay up once before, yes, that time because she missed Lin Shuang so much she couldn’t sleep.

Anyway, it’s all Lin Shuang’s fault!

Everyone sat around the candle, all looking spirited with no sign of sleepiness.

"Let’s forget about playing until dawn—everyone has stuff to do tomorrow, right? Shuishui, you need to rush back after lunch tomorrow to report to Sister Lan, don’t you?" interjected Ayao.

Yu Zhishui looked like the most energetic girl present, "Ah, yes... Today is my first time not returning home at night! It’s a memorable moment! Yay!"

Manager Jiang Lan had seen Yu Zhishui leave with Xia Yubing yesterday, and Xia Yubing had phoned Jiang Lan several times that night. When she heard that Shuishui was going to stay at the Xia residence, Sister Lan contemplated for a while before reluctantly agreeing.

This sister-manager thought that Shuishui was finally making a good friend, and being in the wealthiest Xia Family in Huai City, everything would certainly be secure...

Xia Yubing smiled and poked her cheek, "Your Sister Lan didn’t expect I’d bring you over to be a naughty kid, huh~"

"Shuishui is not a naughty kid!"

Wanwan looked at Lin Shuang, "Did you hear that Lin Dasha? You’re not allowed to lead Shuishui astray, okay?"

Xiao Han also laughed in support, "Master brother, you’re not allowed to get our Shuishui up to no good!"

Only you girls can cause trouble, not Shuishui! All bad women! Don’t bully Shuishui!

With an innocent look, Shuishui tilted her head curiously and asked, "Huh? Dear, what naughty things are you going to do with me? Sounds like fun."

Xia Yubing pursed her lips, "It’s fun alright, but it might hurt, you know?"

""""

The Maid Chief waved a yellow card at Ayao for shaking things up, maintaining order, "Yubing, come on!"

Shuishui held her fists tight, looking brave as if charging forward, "Shuishui’s not afraid of pain, okay? Shuishui’s super brave!"

The other girls exchanged glances and then...

Lin Shuang got kicked a few more times, toppling him hither and thither.

He crouched and covered his head, "What’s happening, what’s happening!"

Look how innocent Shuishui is now! He hasn’t led her astray yet!

"It’s all because of the bad influence from Dog Repair Jin!"

Yixin deeply agreed, "Master, you’re too naughty."

Yubing spoke with a teasing smile, "Right, our Sister Yixin here, she’s been led astray by her husband, tainted with a bad hue, right?"

Yixin hung her head low, "Miss..."

Xiao Han chimed in, "And our gentlest Mommy Yao, for sure she must’ve been corrupted by Master Brother too!"

Ayao pursed her lips, holding her cheek in one hand, "I’m not bad..."

Yixin whispered some evidence, "The questions you’ve asked me, Tong Yao student..."

Lin Shuang could provide evidence too: Ayao has learned and used them all!

Ayao rushed over to cover Yixin’s mouth, "Teacher Xia, behold!"

Wanwan laughed, "The naughty maid is silencing witnesses~"

After silencing Yixin, Ayao straightened her skirt, returning to the stern demeanor of the Maid Chief.

"Well... anyway, besides Shuishui, we all have stuff to do tomorrow, and that includes you, Master, with final exams just around the corner, right?"

"Dog Repair Jin won’t fail and get bad grades, right?"

"Just wait for me to rank first!"

Yubing also laughed, "Speaking of exams, I’ve got to show my face at school too."

"Right! President Yubing of Huai City University, you skip classes even more than I do! How long has it been since you last went to school?"

"School is just the place where I met my husband, and now that I’ve captured him, there’s no need to go back~"

Lin Shuang cleared his throat with a "cough cough" under the concerned gaze of the other girls and said, "We can’t stay up all night, but I guess it’s no problem to play a little longer."

Yu Zhishui was eager, "Are we playing that painful yet fun naughty thing we were talking about earlier!"

Lin Shuang... got a beating, yet again.

"...Shuishui, be good, let’s not play that today."

Xiao Han landed another punch, "Are we saving it for later, Master Brother?"

Lin Shuang cried out in agony, clutching his head, "Stop hitting me! Please be nice for the birthday star today!"

Ayao poked his cheek, chuckling, "Okay... so what are we playing? We can’t play card games like Fight the Landlord with eight people."

Yubing was prepared, she ran to a bag near the entrance and pulled out a few boxed board games.

"It was sent over when I had Lan Qiu deliver the maid dresses."

Ayao nodded, turning to Lin Shuang, "Speaking of which, this Lan Qiu..."

Lin Shuang immediately asserted his innocence, "No way! I’ve only met her once!"

"Lin Dasha, why are you so nervous?"

"Master Brother, you seem a bit guilty?"

"Really, there’s nothing!"
