Chapter 304: Married Life
Along with the end of Caesars interrogation, everything calmed down.
Although there were still more stuff that needed to be investigated, like Hebrews crimes, it had nothing to do with Lin Xiao, so he could just leave that to Caesar. Lin Xiao quickly finished what he came to do and picked up his wages and then happily went with Elena to eat.
Even though it ended, when he thought about what Caesar had said, Lin Xiao was still at a loss.
Has he really changed?
If he thought about it, then he did indeed change quite a bit.
When he thought about what had happened recently, it felt like a lifetime ago to Lin Xiao.
He only wanted to use Caesar as his shield and live a decadent lifestyle under someone elses glory, a comfortable life like cattle. Even if he saw any injustice, he would never care about it. He fully intended on being a selfish good-for-nothing that minded his own business.
But what about now?
In order to help Elena, he came to get certified. Because Hebrew was making things difficult for the siblings, he helped them and even made friends with Yao Zi and made a secret agreement with her to investigate the wizards bloodline
Wasnt that strange? What does someone elses bloodline have to do with him? He hated doing troublesome things before, yet now he did them out of his own initiative and even enjoyed it, that was something he wouldnt even be able to imagine before.
Just like Caesar said, he did change a lot, but when did he begin changing?
Some people think that changes are something that happens in an instant.
In order to turn a good-for-nothing into a brave hero, all he needs to do is go to sleep, then hell have an epiphany after he wakes up and change.
But was that true?
No, change was never instantaneous, but a slow and subtle process that made corrections between every breath,
Did Lin Xiao start to change after the banquet?
Perhaps
He didnt want Elena to always be angry at him and wanted her to obediently be his maid. He also wanted to use Elenas strength one day, as the last trump card to save ShenDai Ying. So he could only endure the annoying things, get certified, take missions, and help Elena with the matters regarding the demons.
If he thought about it carefully, he already change a lot before that
From when Elena personally made scrambled eggs for him.
When ShenDai Ying walked together with him.
When Elena bit her tongue, cut her wrist and cried for him.
If he had to trace it back, then he would probably have to go to when everything started.
When he first confessed to ShenDai Ying.
When he opened the parcel and saw Elena lying in the box.
Perhaps when the story began, he already walked onto a completely different path than before.
So this couldnt be called change anymore, rather it was more appropriate to call it growth.
An unambitious youth was forced to grow because of his greed.
But his long road has just begun, he was still much too far from his happy end, and with his personality, it was possible he would give up halfway.
Take right now for example
Although he got certified, got paid, officially became an investigator and took the S rank mission, but Lin Xiao wasnt in a rush to leave. He kept giving excuses to Elena and used delicious food to numb her to achieve his goal of going back home to sleep.
Elena, what are you so rushed for? Caesar said that they need some time to investigate and rectify everything, so theres nothing wrong with waiting a couple of days hey, why are you looking at me like that? Since I said Ill help you, Ill definitely help you, Im not slacking off, we just need to wait right now!
Elena couldnt retort to Lin Xiaos excuse, so she could only drop the subject and just go along with him and eat her fill of delicious food!
And the result was
In just the span of lunch, she already ate Lin Xiaos one month of living expenses worth of food! She only picked the best and most expensive food and almost made him go bankrupt!
I want to eat this!
That doesnt look too bad either!
Lin Xiao, buy me that!
Okay, okay, Ill let you eat all of it until you eat yourself to death!
Lin Xiao could only go along with her. Although it hurt him to spend money and he was a pretty stingy person, but the strange thing was, when he watched Elena eat that delicious and expensive food, he enjoyed it. He clearly wasnt even willing to spend money for himself to buy clothes, yet he was quite generous when buying food for Elena, like spending money on Elena was something happy.
Damn, how did it become like this? Did she cast some witchcraft on me?
He felt like he spoiled Elena too much, if it continued on like this, then their relationship would be flipped!
Think about it, what master is dragged along by their maid to go shopping? He had to follow Elena all over the place, carrying and paying for her stuff, what kind of master was that? In the end, Elena was the master, and he was the lowly manservant!
Lin Xiao! Look at that store! Five colored Time what a strange name, it looks like a sundae store hm, whats a sundae? Elena walked ahead and pointed to a strange picture on the sign.
Its a type of ice-cream, its sweet and cold. Its pretty good. Lin Xiao followed behind, he held a bag of deep fried chicken that Elena leftover in his left hand and a bag of dried fruits that Elena bought to eat at home in his right hand. He endured the sunlight while dragging his exhausted body forward.
Ice-cream? Sweet and cold? I never tried it before I want it! When she heard his words, Elenas eyes glistened and she was about to drool again.
Uh Elena, youve had enough, we should go home.
He decided to act like the master and keep this gluttonous cat under control!
No, I want to eat it! Lin Xiao, you said that you would buy me whatever I wanted to eat after you got paid!
But, you already ate at four different restaurants, and youve almost spent all the money I have on me. My wallets going to be emptied before youre full!
Tsk, stingy so what? Wouldnt you get paid as long as you finish some missions!
Uh, well youre right Lin Xiao awkwardly pursed his lips and couldnt find an excuse.
Completing missions, getting paid, then letting Elena spend it all, then completing more missions, getting paid and spending it again
For some reason, Lin Xiao had a misconception like he was forced to go to work by his wife in order to take care of his family. Thankfully Lin Xiao already had his worn-down house, otherwise, he would still have to shoulder mortgage, then he really would become Elenas slave, and pushed to go earn money every day!
Its too terrifying, was this the so called married life?
Lin Xiao suddenly felt that being single wasnt that bad, at least he didnt have to be treated like an ATM for women!
Of course, even though they werent married, he was still being treated like an ATM by Elena right now.
Lin Xiao, you arent even willing to spend this much, arent you too stingy?
Stingy? How!?
Think about it ShenDai Ying is a princess! When you marry her, shell definitely spend a lot of money, if youre that stingy, shes not going to like you!
That cant be, right
Of course it is! Could it be youre planning to make ShenDai Ying live with you in that tiny house? Lin Xiao, if I were you, I would definitely work harder to make more money and buy a much larger house to make her happy!
Oh, y-youre right but what does that have to do with you eating ice-cream? Lin Xiao didnt fall for it and wouldnt yield.
Tsk you cheapskate.
Actually, she obviously knew how to entice Lin Xiao to buy it for her, it was very simple
She just had to act like ShenDai Ying and press her chest against him, whisper some sexually suggestive words, then that pervert will immediately pay for her, but
Using her dignity in exchange for food, how could someone as prideful as her do something like that?
Lin Xiao, Im going to ask you one last time, are you buying it for me or not!
No! Im out of money! Now hurry up, were going home!
Im not going, I want to eat it!
No!
Lin Xiao, if you dont buy it, Im going to poison your breakfast tomorrow!
Okay, then before I die, Im going to strip you naked and impregnate you!
You!
Elena almost passed out from anger. Did this pervert really think he was the master or something? Even if he was, was there a master like him out there? A beautiful and lovable maid just wanted to eat an ice-cream and he wouldnt even agree, thats just abuse!
Of course it was only at times like these that she would remember Lin Xiao was her master, and it was only at times like these that she would naively believe herself to be a beautiful and lovable maid.
Well she was indeed beautiful, but whether she was lovable or not was hard to say
Lin Xiao, youre really not going to agree?
Thats right!
Then go die!
What? Eh? Aaahh!
Lin Xiao blanked out and then Elena viciously stomped on his feet.
Elena didnt have it easy for harming her master, she felt dizzy and almost fell over, but she still clenched her teeth and wobbly ran towards the store.
Damn, come back!
Lin Xiaos reactions were delayed, along with the stuff he was holding and his crushed toes, he couldnt catch her. He could only stumble around behind her while yelling.
What did that gluttonous cat want to do?
