8. Chapter 8 Must work hard
It was late at night, and everyone in the dream castle in the suburbs was asleep.
Mu Zixi kept running and running in her dream. She wanted to go somewhere and find someone.
She seemed to have caught the corner of his clothes that had been blown up by the wind. After a strong wind passed, she could no longer see him, even just his back.
In deep sadness, she woke up and looked up at the dark room, unable to sleep again.
Tomorrow, she must work harder than today!
Mu Zixi got up at half past five in the morning and took a cold shower in the bathroom. After washing up, Qin Shuya got up with difficulty.
They gathered at the entrance of the workers' area at six o'clock. The housekeeper led them straight to the gym. Gu Qiancheng had already been doing morning exercise on the treadmill for half an hour.
After the run, he sat down on the fitness equipment and started doing chest expansion exercises.
Mu Zixi and other maids stood three meters away from Gu Qiancheng, holding a tray with clean towels in their hands.
Except for Mu Zixi, the other girls always quietly raised their eyes to look at Gu Qiancheng.
He has been exercising all year round and has strong muscles. Sweat is slowly flowing down his wheat-colored skin. The girls looking at him are endlessly yearning for him.
Meng Ying couldn't resist the urge to approach Gu Qiancheng. She rolled her big eyes a few times, walked over with her waist and hips holding the tray, stopped in front of him, squatted down, and said in a sweet voice:
"Mr. Gu, you sweat too much, let me wipe it for you."
Gu Qiancheng turned his head, his eyes were like frost that had been frozen for thousands of years. He only glanced at it lightly, and then Meng Ying was frightened and apologized repeatedly.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Mr. Gu!"
The housekeeper happened to be back from doing something at this time. As soon as he walked into the gym, he saw this scene.
He walked up to Meng Ying in two steps at a time, raised his tone and scolded: "Mr. Gu hates being disturbed, don't you remember? Not yet..."
The butler was only halfway through what he said. Gu Qiancheng stopped moving his hands and said gently: "It's okay, don't blame her." After saying that, he reached out and picked up a towel from Meng Ying's tray to wipe her sweat a few times.
, and put the towel back.
Meng Ying thought she would be scolded by the housekeeper and punished like Mu Zixi, but she never expected that the prince would intercede for her.
If I read it correctly, he seemed to have smiled at her.
Meng Ying was immediately elated, secretly glad that she had taken the right step and successfully attracted the attention of the prince.
Zhang Jingjing and Qin Shuya were both envious and jealous of Meng Ying, while Mu Zixi stood calmly all the time, not looking in Gu Qiancheng's direction at all.
After Gu Qiancheng had breakfast and they lined up to see him off, the housekeeper began to arrange other tasks.
During the lunch break, the tailor in the house came to measure the maids' bodies and make uniforms for work.
Gu Qiancheng came back very late that night. The Gu family had a rule that he would not come back after ten o'clock. All the servants could rest and did not have to wait for him.
After disbanding at ten o'clock, Mu Zixi stayed alone in the hall, kneeling on the ground with a pure white rag and wiping it bit by bit.
The housekeeper said, wipe until there is no trace of dust on the white rag.
She didn't know how long she had been rubbing it, but she heard footsteps approaching her, a very steady pace.
She did not raise her head, still wiping the marble floor under her hands conscientiously. Gu Qiancheng knelt down in front of her, held her chin, and forced her to raise her head. His scrutinizing gaze fell directly on her delicate little face.
