Madam, You Wouldn't Want Your Identity as a Witch to Be Exposed, Would You - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: Qianzhi’s Jade Bamboo

***

Eve initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Qianzhi with her eyes slightly lowered, appearing shy yet somewhat uneasy, Eve couldn’t bring herself to do so.

After all, what bad intentions could the cute little Qianzhi have? She was just not good with words and reluctant to trust others easily.

Her willingness to speak up meant she must have reached the highest level of trust in Eve.

Looking at Qianzhi’s fair and delicate little hands, they indeed didn’t look like they were suited for household chores.

Girls always have special thoughts about their intimate clothing, and it was a good thing that she could trust Eve.

Besides, the fragrant and soft Qianzhi’s intimate clothing was also clean and fresh.

Even if some had been worn a bit longer, what of it… After listing all the benefits, what about the drawbacks?

It’s just a pity that Qianzhi didn’t seem to like wearing things like stockings, otherwise, with Qianzhi’s snow-white jade bamboo in light, slightly transparent stockings while wearing those little slippers, Eve didn’t dare imagine how delectable that would be.

But a rich young lady’s stockings would probably be thrown away after wearing them once, right?

What a waste of such fair and pretty feet…

“It’s just like a work of art.”

Eve squatted on the balcony washing clothes, couldn’t help but click her tongue softly.

But suddenly she realized something was amiss, why was Qianzhi’s pretty little jade bamboo in her line of sight?

Eve quickly raised her head, only to see Qianzhi standing beside her, curiously watching Eve skillfully doing the housework.

Obviously, she had heard Eve’s self-mumbling, but showed no particular reaction, her expression remaining as serene as ever.

Just those jade-white toes couldn’t help but curl slightly.

“Is… is there something wrong?”

Eve was quite startled seeing Qianzhi standing silently beside her.

“No, just curious.”

Qianzhi tucked her hair behind her ear, answering in a calm tone.

Eve didn’t say much either, it was normal for a rich young lady to have never seen someone doing housework, but what Eve worried about most was whether Qianzhi had heard her earlier mumblings.

If Miss Qianzhi noticed her interest in her jade bamboo, wouldn’t her career as an apartment manager end before it even began?

After all, Qianzhi was a specially noted key person of concern in the handbook, the focus of Eve’s work.

Fortunately, Qianzhi showed no sign of minding, and Eve couldn’t help but slightly sigh in relief.

“Are you very interested in my feet?”

Qianzhi’s zero-frame opener nearly made Eve stumble and almost plunge headfirst into the washtub full of girls’ underwear.

If she accidentally fell in and unconsciously swallowed a few mouthfuls, wouldn’t that be too spicy to handle?

“Huh? W-why would you ask that?”

Eve shook off the soap bubbles on her hands, her voice becoming somewhat stuttery.

“Because Miss Eve always stares at them.”

“Do I…? Must be your imagination…”

“I thought you would like them…”

Qianzhi pulled her feet out of her slippers to show Eve, the young lady’s beautiful jade feet were simply exquisitely gorgeous.

That pink-tinged, delicate and alluring appearance was like the world’s most exquisite dessert, making one unable to resist.

“My mother often praised my feet for being beautiful.”

“Is that so, they are indeed beautiful.”

Eve nodded, this statement absolutely contained not a drop of insincerity.

“Miss Eve’s are also very pretty. When I heard you praising my feet, I instinctively thought of my mother.”

Qianzhi’s tone carried a hint of sadness as she looked at her feet, slightly lost in thought.

“In your mother’s eyes, you must be beautiful everywhere. Because Qianzhi is thoroughly a little beauty.”

Eve continued her work while chatting with Qianzhi, washing clothes as they talked.

Fortunately, Qianzhi showed no signs of reproach.

“I miss my mother.”

Qianzhi mumbled softly, her tone carrying a hint of grievance.

“If you miss her, why don’t you go see her?”

“Mother can’t come back anymore. She passed away from illness last spring.”

Hearing Qianzhi’s words, Eve’s heart trembled, as if missing a heartbeat.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t know.”

Eve felt somewhat awkward, but Qianzhi shook her head lightly as if she had come to terms with it.

“It’s alright, it’s all in the past.”

Then they fell into a long silence. Eve washed the few pieces of intimate clothing quickly, finishing them in no time.

But her mood was no longer as peaceful as before. Looking at Qianzhi following beside her, curiously observing her work, Eve became very cautious in her behavior.

“I’ve washed your underwear, do you want to take them back to hang yourself or leave them here?”

“Leave them here. I don’t really know how to hang clothes… and I might forget to bring them in.”

Eve thought that made sense, Qianzhi living alone as a young girl, it wouldn’t be appropriate to have so many pure and cute pieces of underwear hanging on her balcony.

Qianzhi had her own little thoughts too, with her underwear hanging at Eve’s place, she would have a reason to come visit Eve whenever she suddenly felt like seeing her.

“Are you coming over for dinner tonight?”

Eve asked Qianzhi softly.

“Is that okay?”

“What kind of question is that? These ingredients were all bought by you, of course it’s okay. Just treat this place like your own home, and if you don’t mind, you can even treat me like your mother.”

“Mm!”

Qianzhi thought for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

Then she said she needed to go home to make some preparations and would come back after dark. Eve didn’t think much of it, assuming it was preparation for school tomorrow.

After all, the graduation ceremony officially starts the day after tomorrow, but for Qianzhi, there’s still one day of classes tomorrow.

Leah seems to need to go too, as there are still some matters that haven’t been dealt with.

Eve thought, since she had some money now, she might as well go out and buy more ingredients to make a more sumptuous dinner tonight, and ask Qianzhi to help look after Leah a bit after she goes to the Church Academy tomorrow.

Returning to the living room, she could see that Leah had already very considerately helped Eve tidy up the dining room.

She had also wiped the kitchen spotlessly clean, washed the tableware thoroughly, dried them, and neatly stored them in the cabinet.

After finishing all this, Leah still felt it wasn’t enough and began to wipe the floor. Her small figure busily worked like a diligent little bee, completing all the work that Eve should have done.

Seeing Eve walk out from the balcony, Leah immediately stood up awkwardly, her movements becoming shy.

The little girl’s worried expression immediately showed through, Eve could even smell the little girl’s scent, fragrant and soft, so nice.

“I’m sorry.”

Before Eve could speak, Leah apologized first.

“Why are you apologizing? Is it because you’re afraid I’ll scold you for eating three big bowls while snorting like a little pig earlier?”

Eve joked while patting Leah’s head.

“No, it’s about another thing. I didn’t get selected as the outstanding graduate representative, I’m sorry…”
