At this time, Shi Ying was standing at the door of a small western-style building. She sighed at the diversity of aesthetics and then walked up the steps to the front door. Just as she was considering whether to ring the doorbell or look for the key on her body, the door opened from the inside.
"Miss is back." A middle-aged man in a blue gown greeted her and stepped aside to open the door, leaving room for Shi Ying to enter.
She wears a long gown in the small foreign-style building and calls herself miss. Is the style of this home the style of the Republic of China? Shi Ying's first reaction was to guess the style of this place.
She didn't know how to address the man in front of her, so she just nodded and entered the house.
The hall is two floors high, and the European-style decoration makes the whole environment look magnificent. The large arc staircases on both sides of the hall spiral to reach the second-floor spaces on the left and right sides.
Shi Ying raised her eyebrows. It seemed that the two sides were not connected above the second floor. The left and right sides only shared a large living room. This situation is very rare in a building, even if most of them are symmetrical.
The stairs will also be connected by a corridor in the middle. After all, no matter how big the house is, it is still a family. It is not convenient at all if the two sides are not in contact with each other.
"Have you had your meal, miss?" The man in green shirt took the initiative to ask when Shiying stood still.
Shi Ying thought for a while and said, "I have eaten. I ate with Black and White Wuchang and the others."
The man seemed a little surprised, but he quickly adjusted his expression, showed a decent smile, and said: "It turned out that I was with the two impermanent adults. I must have eaten the food of the earth in the earth. Miss, would you like to try the food that is popular in the outer city recently?
It smells strange and fragrant. Although the material is not of the highest quality, the taste is quite popular with the little girls and children. The master brought some back yesterday and asked me to give them to the young lady."
Strange smell? With this familiar name and familiar description, could it be that Ji Ansi is also in this copy? And who is the master in this person's mouth, Father Shi or Uncle An, or has the copy arranged a new father for her?
Shi Ying agreed calmly, and when she took the wooden box, she asked unconsciously: "Where did you buy this? I'll bring some to my colleagues later."
The man shook his head: "It's too big in the outer city. I also got it from Mr. Xue, and I don't know the specific place of purchase. Miss can ask him or Mr. Xue when I see him later."
He thought for a while and then added: "Maybe you can ask Lord Wuchang, Master Qi likes food, he might know."
Shi Ying nodded: "Okay, I understand." She took the wooden box and wanted to go back to her room, but she didn't know where her room was, so she stopped again.
"Miss, is there anything else you can do?" The man asked immediately after seeing Shi Shi hesitate in his steps.
Shi Ying lowered his eyebrows slightly, looked at the wooden box in his hand and said, "I'll sit down there for a while. Please help me put this back into the room first."
The man agreed, took the wooden box and walked towards the stairs on the left.
Shi Ying pretended to play with her cell phone underneath, but in fact she was silently listening to what was going on above. The man's footsteps were very light, but her hearing seemed to have become very good, and she could tell that he went to the second floor, opened the door to the inner room, and passed
After about half a minute, he came out again, closed the door, and then went downstairs.
"Miss, call me anytime if you need anything." The man in blue shirt who came downstairs was polite and said with a professional smile: "If it's convenient, can you take me off the blacklist? Or if Miss is willing, write me down every day before leaving.
Tell me your whereabouts in a note so that I can explain it to the master."
Shi Ying didn't expect that in this dungeon, she would actually be a tsundere second-generation persona, and she would even block others. Although she tried hard to control her expression, her ears suddenly turned red in embarrassment.
She felt that she might have been OOC. She had never shown any arrogance or domineering attitude from the moment she entered the house. It was too late to make up for it now, right? Help! Shi lingered in her heart and wailed. How was she going to end this scene?
Whether to continue her cold and polite attitude or to act out the arrogance of a young lady, this change in personality was so sudden that she was caught off guard and had to stay there.
Shi Ying finally chose to answer with a straight face: "I know." Then he hurried upstairs, as fast as if there was a ghost chasing behind him.
She slowed down when she was almost in the corridor on the second floor. Thinking of what she had just done, she had the urge to cover her face. Now she desperately wished that the man in green shirt was a paper man, so that her embarrassing mood could be alleviated a little bit.
There were a row of rooms on both sides of the corridor. Shi Ying only roughly knew that it was the room near the end of the corridor, but he was not sure whether it was the penultimate room or the penultimate room, the room on the left or the right.
There was no one in the corridor now. Shi Ying adopted the principle of staying close and first put her hand on the door handle of the penultimate door on the right. She heard the man close the door just now, but it should not be locked, after all, she said
He would go up later. There was no need for him to lock the door, but he did not rule out the possibility that the man had obsessive-compulsive disorder, but Shi Ying felt that it was more likely that he had left the door unlocked.
When the door didn't open, she changed her target to the penultimate room on the opposite side, held the door handle, and pressed it down gently.
The door opened.
Shi Ying was overjoyed, and gently opened the door to confirm whether the wooden box was there. She had just asked the man in green clothes to put the wooden box up, partly to confirm the location, and partly to confirm the specific room. If there were many people in the villa,
She was afraid that if she entered someone else's room by mistake, she would be embarrassed. If someone else lost something, she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.
But there is no wooden box in this room. It is not even a room related to a bedroom. Three of the four walls of the room are filled with bookshelves. The remaining wall is a wall with a door. The door occupies a small part, and the other parts are large.
There is a whiteboard with pictures and words posted on it. It looks like a commonly used study room.
Shi Ying didn't take a closer look and quickly backed out. Before she could figure out the situation, it was better to find her own safe spot. If she was caught looking through other people's things, she didn't know how to explain it.
There are only two rooms left, one at the end of the corridor, one on the left and one on the right.
Shi Ying continued to walk forward and stood in front of the door on the left. He pressed the door handle as before. The door opened easily. The light in the room was very good. Shi Ying saw the wooden box on the table by the window at a glance.
She had made up her mind about the strange-smelling wooden box she just got. She walked in, turned around and closed the door lightly. She walked to the table, picked up the wooden box, opened it and checked.
The colorful and strange smell was a familiar feeling to her. It seemed that it was this room. She put down the box, turned back and closed the door, and then began to look at this so-called "own" room.
The room is not big. There is a bedroom with a dressing room and no bathroom. It has the feeling of a shady house like Building 23. Presumably this magnificent little foreign-style building does not have a kitchen and dining room. If it weren't for the tables, chairs, beds and windows, they are too big.
Really, she would think she was living in one of those paper villas.
