I am super sweet! [Entertainment]
Chapter 37
Ning Xiaole withdrew her wandering thoughts, and while Butler He was still there, she hurriedly asked, "That's right, Uncle He, can I bring Mumu and Xiaoli into the house to play?"
Butler He smiled kindly: "Of course. But before letting them in, wipe their feet with a wet towel."
"Ok!"
Ning Xiaole deserved it, so Butler He went to the side to find him the towel that Mumu and Xiaoli usually used to wipe their feet, wet it and hand it to him.
He obediently thanked him, took the towel and went to the yard to find Mumu and Xiaoli.
Mu Mu was the first to run over, and kept circling in front of Ning Xiaole, very excited.
Ning Xiaole patted it on the head to reassure him: "Okay, okay, obediently stretch out your paws, wipe them clean, and then we can enter the house to play together."
He reached out and raised a wooden front paw, and carefully wiped it with a towel.Mu Mu seemed to know what he was going to do. After he moved, he stopped his excited actions and obediently let him wipe. After wiping, his paws consciously rested on the small platform belonging to the house.
After Mumu finished wiping, Xiaoli was also very obedient, stretching out her paws without any resistance.After it was wiped clean, it gracefully paced the catwalk on the small platform in front of the house, rubbing against Ning Xiaole's side.
Ning Xiaole smiled and patted Xiaoli's head, stood up: "Come on, let's go into the house."
"Wow!" Mumu responded to him very positively, circling around him, almost sticking to the room he entered together.
In the lobby on the first floor, there is a special place for Xiaoli to play. There are all kinds of cat climbing frames and small toys, and there are enough places to play small games with Mumu.
Ning Xiaole took them over there, played with Xiaoli for a while with the cat teasing stick, then put Xiaoli on the cat climbing frame to play by herself, and then picked up a small ball to play with Mumu.
Because Zuo Wenqi is quite busy, he rarely has time to live here, most of the time it is housekeeper He who lives here.
But Butler He is often busy with various things, and occasionally goes back to Zuo's main house, so he doesn't have much time to play with Mumu and Xiaoli.
It was rare for someone to play with them, they all looked very excited, they basically didn't stop all morning, playing happily around Ning Xiaole.
Ning Xiaole had never tried to play with cats and dogs for so long, and he was not tired at all. It wasn't until Butler He called him that he realized that it was time for lunch before he knew it.
"Xiao Le, you can have lunch now."
Butler He put a few dishes on the dining table, smiling kindly.
Ning Xiaole on the side quickly responded: "Come on!"
He put down the toy he was using to play with Mumu, patted Mumu's head to let him be obedient, and then went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
When he finished washing his hands, Butler He had already helped out the dishes, but he only took two sets, which seemed to belong to him and Butler He.
Ning Xiaole asked curiously, "Brother Zuo, won't you eat?"
Butler He sighed helplessly: "Master seems to have something to deal with, it may be later."
"Then how can I do that?" Ning Xiaole frowned slightly, "If you don't eat on time, it's easy to cause problems. I'll go up and find him."
As he said that, he ran towards the stairs, and Mu Mu and Xiao Li followed him when they saw him move.
So not long after, Zuo Wenqi, who was still working in the study, saw three more heads poking in from the door.
"Wang Wang!"
Mumu was still the most enthusiastic to say hello, but Ning Xiaole restricted him to the door, otherwise he would have jumped at Zuo Wenqi at this time.
Looking at the three children at the door, Zuo Wenqi finally took his mind off his work and asked, "Do you need me?"
Ning Xiaole did not directly explain the purpose, but asked curiously: "Is Brother Zuo busy now?"
Zuo Wenqi mistakenly thought that he was afraid of disturbing him, and replied: "Fortunately, it's not something urgent."
Hearing this, Ning Xiaole was relieved, and opened the door to let Mumu in: "If you are not busy, go down to eat together, not eating on time is not good for your health. And today is Steward He's specialty dish, it will not taste good when it is cold .”
Zuo Wenqi was caught off guard by the excited Mumu, and then he heard Ning Xiaole's solemn chanting, and it took a while to realize that Ning Xiaole was not looking for him for something, but calling him to go down for dinner.
Since he just said that he is not in a hurry to finish it now, Zuo Wenqi can't continue to talk about being busy. After saving the necessary data, he shut down the computer, stood up obediently, and went down to eat together.
Butler He was obviously surprised when he saw Zuo Wenqi walking down, but soon turned to joy, and hurried to get an extra set of bowls and chopsticks.
Ning Xiaole, who called people to come down to eat, was in a very happy mood, and because of the morning of playing around, she was already hungry. This lunch was very delicious, and she couldn't stop praising the housekeeper for his cooking skills.
Butler He was used to eating with Zuo Wenqi silently, it was rare for someone to praise him so much, he was naturally happy to hear that, and he also said that if there was anything in particular that he wanted to eat, he could tell him.
Ning Xiaole really liked the dishes cooked by Butler He. After hearing this, her eyes lit up a little, and she asked enthusiastically, "Can I have afternoon tea?"
The butler He can cook both dishes and desserts. Seeing him looking forward to it, he responded immediately: "Of course. What would Xiao Le want to eat?"
Ning Xiaole seemed happier: "Can I eat mango cake?".
Butler He nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I will send someone to buy the materials later."
"Okay, thank you Uncle He!" Ning Xiaole smiled brighter, still holding the rice bowl in her hand, and she was already looking forward to the afternoon tea in her heart.
Seeing his excited appearance, Zuo Wenqi didn't say anything, and told Butler He: "Buy more mangoes, Xiaole loves mangoes."
It was rare to hear Zuo Wenqi take the initiative to tell these things, butler He nodded again and again, and then asked: "Then do you need anything else?"
Zuo Wenqi pondered for a while, and added: "Buy some more milk and other fruit snacks, don't need too much, the amount for these three days is enough."
Steward He memorized everything, and prepared to let people buy them after lunch was over.
The time for lunch passed quickly. After eating and drinking, Ning Xiaole offered to help Butler He pack his things together. Zuo Wenqi ignored him when he saw that he was happy, and went back to the study to continue to do unfinished things . .
While Ning Xiaole was helping to pack things and wash dishes together, she learned about Zuo Wenqi's favorite things to do when he was at home, and found that Zuo Wenqi seemed to have a relatively cold and mature personality since he was a child, and he didn't have many friends.
No one else had ever lived in the house overnight before him, and for three days at a time.
In addition, Ning Xiaole also learned that Zuo Wenqi seldom came back, most of the time he was busy in various filming locations, and he didn't live here for a little longer until he retired last year.
He listened attentively to what Butler He said, and basically understood Zuo Wenqi's usual living habits, and did not go further to ask some more personal matters.
After washing the dishes, Butler He started to prepare for the afternoon tea. Ning Xiaole, who had nothing to do, went to the living room and turned on the TV to watch.
Mumu and Xiaoli also finished their lunch at this time, and ran to the sofa to huddle with Ning Xiaole.
Of course Ning Xiaole didn't mind two more friends watching TV with him, hugging the dog with one hand and stroking the cat with the other, like a winner in life who hugged left and right, just found a random drama and started watching.
Because he usually pays more attention to various dramas, he has basically watched all the dramas now, and he almost remembers the plot direction. Watching dramas is purely to pass the time.
The sofa in Zuo Wenqi's house is very soft, and in the morning he had a long fight with Mumu Xiaoli, Ning Xiaole couldn't help yawning after watching for a while, holding the fluffy and soft Mumu , Unknowingly lay down on one side and fell asleep.
Mumu and Xiaoli also released a lot of energy in the morning, and now they are full, and they also sleep together.
When Butler He came over and wanted to ask Ning Xiaole what kind of sweetness he liked, he saw that everyone, a dog and a cat were sleeping soundly.
He smiled helplessly, and didn't disturb their sleep. He turned up the temperature of the central air conditioner a little, and went upstairs to get them a small blanket to cover them, so as not to catch cold while sleeping on the sofa.
When Butler He went upstairs, he saw the half-closed door of the study, walked over and knocked lightly.
"Enter."
Zuo Wenqi didn't pause in his work, and after he answered, he saw Butler He push open the door and walk in.
He stopped for a while, looked up and asked, "What's the matter?"
Butler He quickly replied: "I want to ask, do you know Master Xiaole's sweetness requirements for desserts?"
Zuo Wenqi thought for a moment: "Normal sweetness, he likes to eat sweet, but too sweet is not good for his health."
After speaking, he turned to ask again: "Why are you asking me, Xiaole?"
Butler He replied respectfully: "Master Xiaole fell asleep on the sofa with Mumu Xiaoli. I came up just to cover them with a blanket."
Zuo Wenqi nodded, and said again: "Thanks for your hard work, I'll take the blanket down later."
Seeing this, Steward He didn't compete with him for a job. After hesitating for a while, he still couldn't help asking: "Master, please allow me to ask a question, Master Xiaole... But that kid you used to visit secretly?"
Zuo Wenqi pursed his lower lip, and finally did not hide it: "It's him."
In Zuo's family, only housekeeper He sincerely took care of Zuo Wenqi, and Zuo Wenqi only believed in any housekeeper.
After accidentally discovering Ning Xiaole while filming a scene in a certain junior high school, he often went to the gate of his school when he was free.
At that time, he had just come of age, and he didn't have time to take the driver's license test because of filming, so at first he asked Butler He to drive him to the gate of the junior high school.
And every time he just waited quietly at the door, and when he saw Ning Xiaole and his friends walking out of the school gate talking and laughing, out of his sight, he asked the butler to send him back.
Almost every time he was free, he would take a day or two to repeat this kind of thing, but he never got out of the car, and he would never let Butler He follow Ning Xiaole.
Sometimes he waited for hours in the corner of the door just to catch a glimpse of Ning Xiaole's smile.
He paid close attention to Ning Xiaole's life, but never disturbed or investigated further. Even the information about Ning Xiaole's further education was seen on the school's "golden list".
He knew that Ning Xiaole's grades were very good. He went to the best high school in the city with the first grade in the city, and went to the best university in their province with the third grade in the province, which is also one of the best universities in China.
After Ning Xiaole went to university, Zuo Wenqi stopped bothering Butler He to go to two provinces.
He guessed that a person like Ning Xiaole who loves to study would go to the library often, and would occasionally drive to the university by himself, and sit in a corner near the library where few people passed by.
On rest days, he often waits at the school gate closest to their college dormitory.
There are many people in the university, and there are many extra-curricular activities. Sometimes he may not see Ning Xiaole at the end of the day, but he never stops, paying attention to Ning Xiaole silently in his own way.
He doesn't take secret pictures, doesn't follow, and doesn't go up to talk to him, he just quietly watches Ning Xiaole and his friends having fun.
As long as he saw Ning Xiaole happy, even if it was just a few glances, he felt it was worth it.
Zuo Wenqi looked at the still photo of Ning Xiaole smiling brightly on the computer desktop, with a soft look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Butler He couldn't help asking one more question: "Then why didn't you tell Master Xiaole about Mumu and Xiaoli? Mumu and Xiaoli are the puppies and kittens that Master Xiaole said, right?"
What he said was not only asking about Mumu and Xiaoli, but also about what Zuo Wenqi had done silently back then.
Zuo Wenqi shook his head: "There's no need. That's all in the past, and I don't want to disturb his past. And saying these things will burden him."
After finishing speaking, he made an additional warning: "You don't want to talk to him about these things either, this kind of relationship is enough for me now."
Butler He was silent for a while, and then replied with a sigh: "Okay, I understand."
Zuo Wenqi still trusted Butler He, and didn't say anything more. After letting Butler He leave, he got up and went to the room to find a thin blanket, and walked downstairs lightly.
The temperature of the air conditioner on the first floor was turned up slightly, but it was still a bit cold in comparison.
In the living room, a recent TV series was playing on the TV screen, and the sound of clanging and fighting could be heard endlessly.
Ning Xiaole is sleeping on the sofa, holding Mumu in her arms, and Xiaoli lying on her shoulders, the picture looks very warm.
Zuo Wenqi's eyes unconsciously showed a gentle smile, and he leaned over and gently covered the three of them with a blanket.
Then he stepped aside, picked up the remote, and turned off the TV.
But at this moment, he heard a vague movement behind him, and then heard Ning Xiaole calling him in a daze.
"...Brother Zuo?"
Ning Xiaole opened her eyes from a half-dream and half-awake, and saw Zuo Wenqi standing not far in front, confused and confused: "Why did Brother Zuo come down?"
Zuo Wenqi didn't answer his question, put the remote control back on the coffee table, and said apologetically, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"
"No, I don't usually have the habit of going to bed at noon." Ning Xiaole picked up Xiaoli who was lying on him, sat up slowly, and gently placed Xiaoli on the sofa before continuing, "Today is the morning to play." I was too tired, so I took a little rest."
Hearing this, Zuo Wenqi didn't say much, and asked again: "Do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"
Ning Xiaole shook her head: "No need, I can't fall asleep easily at night after sleeping in the afternoon."
Worried that Zuo Wenqi would be afraid that he would be bored, he added after finishing speaking: "I'll wait to help Uncle He make pastries. I'm also good at cooking. Give brother Zuo a taste of the little cakes I made~"
Seeing his proud expression, Zuo Wenqi didn't say anything, but nodded "OK".
Ning Xiaole couldn't sit still after thinking about it, she couldn't wait to get up and go to the kitchen to look for Butler He after seeing his answer.
"Uncle He! I'll help you later, okay?"
"Can Xiao Le also make cakes?"
"Of course! Let Uncle He have a taste of my craft!".
"..."
Listening to the two people chatting happily in the kitchen, Zuo Wenqi didn't bother them, and went back to the upstairs study.
And when he went back, he just saw the screen of the mobile phone on the table light up.
It was Tang Luoyun who sent him a WeChat message.
After eating lunch just now, Zuo Wenqi remembered that when Tang Luoyun told him about Ning Xiaole's past, he mentioned that he suffered from mental illness when he was five years old because of what happened at home, so he immediately asked about this matter detailed content.
Tang Luoyun probably also went to inquire about this matter further, and didn't give him an answer until not long ago.
【Tang Luoyun: I just went to ask about it, but no one seems to know what kind of disease Xiao Lele is suffering from】
[Tang Luoyun: At that time, their family was bankrupt, and they were still burdened with countless debts. They didn't have the conditions to go to the hospital to see a doctor]
[Tang Luoyun: I only know that the reason he dropped out of kindergarten back then was because he had a mental illness, and it was not suitable for him to stay in kindergarten any longer]
[Tang Luoyun: But it is certain that Xiao Lele's mother suffered from mild depression during that time, and she had suicidal thoughts many times when she was working outside, and she was discovered by her co-workers in time]
[Tang Luoyun: When Xiao Lele was seven years old, his mental state seemed to have returned to normal. After moving, he officially started elementary school. His mother's situation was also better than before, and he worked several jobs at the same time to make ends meet and pay off the remaining debts]
[Tang Luoyun: The story of Xiao Lele and his mother is basically spread in the community they live in. The community they live in is relatively old, and the neighbors are more kind-hearted older generations]
[Tang Luoyun: The neighbors often help their mother and son, and most of these things are also heard from their neighbors]
After saying these things, Tang Luoyun paused for a while before sending any new news.
[Tang Luoyun: Why did Brother Zuo suddenly think of asking this? 】
Zuo Wenqi browsed through all the text, did not elaborate, but responded: "It's nothing, I suddenly want to ask."
After getting this answer, Tang Luoyun didn't ask any more questions, and expressed her distress for Ning Xiaole.
Looking at the content she sent later, Zuo Wenqi felt uncomfortable.
Although Ning Xiaole usually looks like an optimistic and cheerful ordinary person, he always feels that something is not quite right.
Is it true that someone can be treated like that by the company, and almost be forced to unspoken rules, but they don't even feel angry?
In terms of optimism, is this a bit overly optimistic?
Zuo Wenqi was a little worried, whether Ning Xiaole had suffered from that mental illness before, but he hadn't recovered from it at all, but was just covered up by him or expressed in another way.
But he didn't know exactly what illness Ning Xiaole suffered from back then, and what kind of characteristics he would have.
Let's take a closer look, at least for the past ten or twenty years, Ning Xiaole has lived well.
Zuo Wenqi breathed a sigh of relief, turned on the computer and continued to process the work he hadn't finished.
……
Downstairs, Ning Xiaole had already happily made mango cakes with Steward He, and even ate two mangoes on the way.
Steward He pretended not to see it, and let him steal it with a smile, and asked him if it was sweet enough at the end.
"It's very sweet!" Ning Xiaole deserved to be happy, obviously in a very good mood, and the movements of his subordinates became smoother.
"Wang Wang!"
Mu Mu, who woke up, smelled the sweet smell of food on their side, ran over and wagged her tail excitedly, but was gently kicked away by Ning Xiaole: "Mu Mu, don't make trouble, go play aside."
But Mu Mu thought he was playing with her, and made trouble even more vigorously, and in the end, she relied on Butler He to stop him from drinking.
Ning Xiaole couldn't help admiring: "Uncle He is so amazing!"
Butler He smiled indifferently: "It's just that I get along with them more often."
Speaking of this, Ning Xiaole asked again: "Usually when Brother Zuo is away, does Uncle He live here alone?"
Butler He nodded: "Well, occasionally I might go to the main house because of the master's order, but I still stay here most of the time."
Ning Xiaole couldn't imagine the life of such a person living in such a big house, and continued to ask: "Wouldn't it be deserted?"
"It's actually okay if you get used to it." Butler He smiled indifferently, "It happens to be clean."
Everyone has their own ideas and habits, Ning Xiaole didn't ask any more questions, and concentrated on making mango cakes with Steward He.
There are only three of them in the family, and there are not many cakes to make, so the current division of labor is that Ning Xiaole is the one who eats, and He Steward makes Mumu and Xiaoli.
Because his mother is busy working to earn money, Ning Xiaole usually cooks food at home, and he often makes cakes and takes them to school to distribute to friends, and he is very skillful.
After the small cakes and cream were spread, Ning Xiaole decorated two of them with mangoes in a regular manner, and specially made a heart shape with mangoes for the third one, and prepared to leave it to Zuo Wenqi.
Steward He saw his plan at a glance, and couldn't help but tease: "It seems that Xiao Le likes the young master very much?"
Ning Xiaole nodded frankly: "Yes! I grew up watching Brother Zuo's dramas! My favorite actor is Brother Zuo!"
While talking, he cut a few more strawberries and filled them with mango hearts.
Zuo Wenqi prefers strawberries to mangoes.
Steward He noticed this detail, and his favor towards Ning Xiaole increased a lot.
At least this Ning Xiaole treats their young master sincerely, not wasting their young master's previous attention to him.
After the cake and tea were ready, Ning Xiaole called Zuo Wenqi down to have a snack together, and even pushed the mango strawberry love cake in front of him.
"This is specially prepared for Brother Zuo, the only one~"
He smiled, and his expression was capitalized and bold "please praise", he looked very cute.
Zuo Wenqi was itching to see it, but he still couldn't hold back and reached out to rub his soft hair, and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Ning Xiaole's smile became even brighter, and she quickly said, "Then Brother Zuo, try it quickly!"
Zuo Wenqi himself didn't like eating too sweet things, seeing that he was looking forward to it, he picked up a small spoon and took a bite.
But to his surprise, the cream tasted lighter than ordinary cakes, not so sweet and greasy, which was just right for Zuo Wenqi.
Seeing him pause for a moment, Ning Xiaole knew that he must have noticed the difference in taste and texture, and the clear pupils seemed to be soaked with fine light: "It is specially adjusted for the sweetness of the cream for Brother Zuo, so it is said to be unique. one copy~"
"taste good or not?"
Zuo Wenqi looked at the sweet smile in his eyes, and his heart sank softly: "Mmm, it's delicious."
It has been a long time since he has received such a "unique treatment" exclusive to him.
The author has something to say: Let me say it quietly again, it is a warm and healing direction of two-way redemption, not abusive~

Thanks to [Rising Sun] x5, [Blowing away the rain and fog and frost growing like fire] x3, [An Arctic rabbit] x2 and [cat] for the nutrient solution mua~
Butler He smiled kindly: "Of course. But before letting them in, wipe their feet with a wet towel."
"Ok!"
Ning Xiaole deserved it, so Butler He went to the side to find him the towel that Mumu and Xiaoli usually used to wipe their feet, wet it and hand it to him.
He obediently thanked him, took the towel and went to the yard to find Mumu and Xiaoli.
Mu Mu was the first to run over, and kept circling in front of Ning Xiaole, very excited.
Ning Xiaole patted it on the head to reassure him: "Okay, okay, obediently stretch out your paws, wipe them clean, and then we can enter the house to play together."
He reached out and raised a wooden front paw, and carefully wiped it with a towel.Mu Mu seemed to know what he was going to do. After he moved, he stopped his excited actions and obediently let him wipe. After wiping, his paws consciously rested on the small platform belonging to the house.
After Mumu finished wiping, Xiaoli was also very obedient, stretching out her paws without any resistance.After it was wiped clean, it gracefully paced the catwalk on the small platform in front of the house, rubbing against Ning Xiaole's side.
Ning Xiaole smiled and patted Xiaoli's head, stood up: "Come on, let's go into the house."
"Wow!" Mumu responded to him very positively, circling around him, almost sticking to the room he entered together.
In the lobby on the first floor, there is a special place for Xiaoli to play. There are all kinds of cat climbing frames and small toys, and there are enough places to play small games with Mumu.
Ning Xiaole took them over there, played with Xiaoli for a while with the cat teasing stick, then put Xiaoli on the cat climbing frame to play by herself, and then picked up a small ball to play with Mumu.
Because Zuo Wenqi is quite busy, he rarely has time to live here, most of the time it is housekeeper He who lives here.
But Butler He is often busy with various things, and occasionally goes back to Zuo's main house, so he doesn't have much time to play with Mumu and Xiaoli.
It was rare for someone to play with them, they all looked very excited, they basically didn't stop all morning, playing happily around Ning Xiaole.
Ning Xiaole had never tried to play with cats and dogs for so long, and he was not tired at all. It wasn't until Butler He called him that he realized that it was time for lunch before he knew it.
"Xiao Le, you can have lunch now."
Butler He put a few dishes on the dining table, smiling kindly.
Ning Xiaole on the side quickly responded: "Come on!"
He put down the toy he was using to play with Mumu, patted Mumu's head to let him be obedient, and then went to the kitchen to wash his hands.
When he finished washing his hands, Butler He had already helped out the dishes, but he only took two sets, which seemed to belong to him and Butler He.
Ning Xiaole asked curiously, "Brother Zuo, won't you eat?"
Butler He sighed helplessly: "Master seems to have something to deal with, it may be later."
"Then how can I do that?" Ning Xiaole frowned slightly, "If you don't eat on time, it's easy to cause problems. I'll go up and find him."
As he said that, he ran towards the stairs, and Mu Mu and Xiao Li followed him when they saw him move.
So not long after, Zuo Wenqi, who was still working in the study, saw three more heads poking in from the door.
"Wang Wang!"
Mumu was still the most enthusiastic to say hello, but Ning Xiaole restricted him to the door, otherwise he would have jumped at Zuo Wenqi at this time.
Looking at the three children at the door, Zuo Wenqi finally took his mind off his work and asked, "Do you need me?"
Ning Xiaole did not directly explain the purpose, but asked curiously: "Is Brother Zuo busy now?"
Zuo Wenqi mistakenly thought that he was afraid of disturbing him, and replied: "Fortunately, it's not something urgent."
Hearing this, Ning Xiaole was relieved, and opened the door to let Mumu in: "If you are not busy, go down to eat together, not eating on time is not good for your health. And today is Steward He's specialty dish, it will not taste good when it is cold .”
Zuo Wenqi was caught off guard by the excited Mumu, and then he heard Ning Xiaole's solemn chanting, and it took a while to realize that Ning Xiaole was not looking for him for something, but calling him to go down for dinner.
Since he just said that he is not in a hurry to finish it now, Zuo Wenqi can't continue to talk about being busy. After saving the necessary data, he shut down the computer, stood up obediently, and went down to eat together.

Ning Xiaole really liked the dishes cooked by Butler He. After hearing this, her eyes lit up a little, and she asked enthusiastically, "Can I have afternoon tea?"
The butler He can cook both dishes and desserts. Seeing him looking forward to it, he responded immediately: "Of course. What would Xiao Le want to eat?"
Ning Xiaole seemed happier: "Can I eat mango cake?".
Butler He nodded without hesitation: "Yes, I will send someone to buy the materials later."
"Okay, thank you Uncle He!" Ning Xiaole smiled brighter, still holding the rice bowl in her hand, and she was already looking forward to the afternoon tea in her heart.
Seeing his excited appearance, Zuo Wenqi didn't say anything, and told Butler He: "Buy more mangoes, Xiaole loves mangoes."
It was rare to hear Zuo Wenqi take the initiative to tell these things, butler He nodded again and again, and then asked: "Then do you need anything else?"
Zuo Wenqi pondered for a while, and added: "Buy some more milk and other fruit snacks, don't need too much, the amount for these three days is enough."

The time for lunch passed quickly. After eating and drinking, Ning Xiaole offered to help Butler He pack his things together. Zuo Wenqi ignored him when he saw that he was happy, and went back to the study to continue to do unfinished things . .
While Ning Xiaole was helping to pack things and wash dishes together, she learned about Zuo Wenqi's favorite things to do when he was at home, and found that Zuo Wenqi seemed to have a relatively cold and mature personality since he was a child, and he didn't have many friends.
No one else had ever lived in the house overnight before him, and for three days at a time.
In addition, Ning Xiaole also learned that Zuo Wenqi seldom came back, most of the time he was busy in various filming locations, and he didn't live here for a little longer until he retired last year.
He listened attentively to what Butler He said, and basically understood Zuo Wenqi's usual living habits, and did not go further to ask some more personal matters.
After washing the dishes, Butler He started to prepare for the afternoon tea. Ning Xiaole, who had nothing to do, went to the living room and turned on the TV to watch.
Mumu and Xiaoli also finished their lunch at this time, and ran to the sofa to huddle with Ning Xiaole.
Of course Ning Xiaole didn't mind two more friends watching TV with him, hugging the dog with one hand and stroking the cat with the other, like a winner in life who hugged left and right, just found a random drama and started watching.

Zuo Wenqi pursed his lower lip, and finally did not hide it: "It's him."
In Zuo's family, only housekeeper He sincerely took care of Zuo Wenqi, and Zuo Wenqi only believed in any housekeeper.
After accidentally discovering Ning Xiaole while filming a scene in a certain junior high school, he often went to the gate of his school when he was free.
At that time, he had just come of age, and he didn't have time to take the driver's license test because of filming, so at first he asked Butler He to drive him to the gate of the junior high school.
And every time he just waited quietly at the door, and when he saw Ning Xiaole and his friends walking out of the school gate talking and laughing, out of his sight, he asked the butler to send him back.
Almost every time he was free, he would take a day or two to repeat this kind of thing, but he never got out of the car, and he would never let Butler He follow Ning Xiaole.
Sometimes he waited for hours in the corner of the door just to catch a glimpse of Ning Xiaole's smile.
He paid close attention to Ning Xiaole's life, but never disturbed or investigated further. Even the information about Ning Xiaole's further education was seen on the school's "golden list".
He knew that Ning Xiaole's grades were very good. He went to the best high school in the city with the first grade in the city, and went to the best university in their province with the third grade in the province, which is also one of the best universities in China.
After Ning Xiaole went to university, Zuo Wenqi stopped bothering Butler He to go to two provinces.
He guessed that a person like Ning Xiaole who loves to study would go to the library often, and would occasionally drive to the university by himself, and sit in a corner near the library where few people passed by.
On rest days, he often waits at the school gate closest to their college dormitory.
There are many people in the university, and there are many extra-curricular activities. Sometimes he may not see Ning Xiaole at the end of the day, but he never stops, paying attention to Ning Xiaole silently in his own way.
He doesn't take secret pictures, doesn't follow, and doesn't go up to talk to him, he just quietly watches Ning Xiaole and his friends having fun.
As long as he saw Ning Xiaole happy, even if it was just a few glances, he felt it was worth it.
Zuo Wenqi looked at the still photo of Ning Xiaole smiling brightly on the computer desktop, with a soft look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Butler He couldn't help asking one more question: "Then why didn't you tell Master Xiaole about Mumu and Xiaoli? Mumu and Xiaoli are the puppies and kittens that Master Xiaole said, right?"
What he said was not only asking about Mumu and Xiaoli, but also about what Zuo Wenqi had done silently back then.
Zuo Wenqi shook his head: "There's no need. That's all in the past, and I don't want to disturb his past. And saying these things will burden him."
After finishing speaking, he made an additional warning: "You don't want to talk to him about these things either, this kind of relationship is enough for me now."
Butler He was silent for a while, and then replied with a sigh: "Okay, I understand."
Zuo Wenqi still trusted Butler He, and didn't say anything more. After letting Butler He leave, he got up and went to the room to find a thin blanket, and walked downstairs lightly.
The temperature of the air conditioner on the first floor was turned up slightly, but it was still a bit cold in comparison.
In the living room, a recent TV series was playing on the TV screen, and the sound of clanging and fighting could be heard endlessly.
Ning Xiaole is sleeping on the sofa, holding Mumu in her arms, and Xiaoli lying on her shoulders, the picture looks very warm.
Zuo Wenqi's eyes unconsciously showed a gentle smile, and he leaned over and gently covered the three of them with a blanket.
Then he stepped aside, picked up the remote, and turned off the TV.
But at this moment, he heard a vague movement behind him, and then heard Ning Xiaole calling him in a daze.
"...Brother Zuo?"
Ning Xiaole opened her eyes from a half-dream and half-awake, and saw Zuo Wenqi standing not far in front, confused and confused: "Why did Brother Zuo come down?"
Zuo Wenqi didn't answer his question, put the remote control back on the coffee table, and said apologetically, "Sorry, did I wake you up?"
"No, I don't usually have the habit of going to bed at noon." Ning Xiaole picked up Xiaoli who was lying on him, sat up slowly, and gently placed Xiaoli on the sofa before continuing, "Today is the morning to play." I was too tired, so I took a little rest."
Hearing this, Zuo Wenqi didn't say much, and asked again: "Do you want to go back to your room and rest for a while?"
Ning Xiaole shook her head: "No need, I can't fall asleep easily at night after sleeping in the afternoon."
Worried that Zuo Wenqi would be afraid that he would be bored, he added after finishing speaking: "I'll wait to help Uncle He make pastries. I'm also good at cooking. Give brother Zuo a taste of the little cakes I made~"
Seeing his proud expression, Zuo Wenqi didn't say anything, but nodded "OK".
Ning Xiaole couldn't sit still after thinking about it, she couldn't wait to get up and go to the kitchen to look for Butler He after seeing his answer.
"Uncle He! I'll help you later, okay?"
"Can Xiao Le also make cakes?"
"Of course! Let Uncle He have a taste of my craft!".
"..."
Listening to the two people chatting happily in the kitchen, Zuo Wenqi didn't bother them, and went back to the upstairs study.
And when he went back, he just saw the screen of the mobile phone on the table light up.
It was Tang Luoyun who sent him a WeChat message.
After eating lunch just now, Zuo Wenqi remembered that when Tang Luoyun told him about Ning Xiaole's past, he mentioned that he suffered from mental illness when he was five years old because of what happened at home, so he immediately asked about this matter detailed content.
Tang Luoyun probably also went to inquire about this matter further, and didn't give him an answer until not long ago.
【Tang Luoyun: I just went to ask about it, but no one seems to know what kind of disease Xiao Lele is suffering from】
[Tang Luoyun: At that time, their family was bankrupt, and they were still burdened with countless debts. They didn't have the conditions to go to the hospital to see a doctor]
[Tang Luoyun: I only know that the reason he dropped out of kindergarten back then was because he had a mental illness, and it was not suitable for him to stay in kindergarten any longer]
[Tang Luoyun: But it is certain that Xiao Lele's mother suffered from mild depression during that time, and she had suicidal thoughts many times when she was working outside, and she was discovered by her co-workers in time]
[Tang Luoyun: When Xiao Lele was seven years old, his mental state seemed to have returned to normal. After moving, he officially started elementary school. His mother's situation was also better than before, and he worked several jobs at the same time to make ends meet and pay off the remaining debts]
[Tang Luoyun: The story of Xiao Lele and his mother is basically spread in the community they live in. The community they live in is relatively old, and the neighbors are more kind-hearted older generations]
[Tang Luoyun: The neighbors often help their mother and son, and most of these things are also heard from their neighbors]
After saying these things, Tang Luoyun paused for a while before sending any new news.
[Tang Luoyun: Why did Brother Zuo suddenly think of asking this? 】
Zuo Wenqi browsed through all the text, did not elaborate, but responded: "It's nothing, I suddenly want to ask."
After getting this answer, Tang Luoyun didn't ask any more questions, and expressed her distress for Ning Xiaole.
Looking at the content she sent later, Zuo Wenqi felt uncomfortable.
Although Ning Xiaole usually looks like an optimistic and cheerful ordinary person, he always feels that something is not quite right.
Is it true that someone can be treated like that by the company, and almost be forced to unspoken rules, but they don't even feel angry?
In terms of optimism, is this a bit overly optimistic?
Zuo Wenqi was a little worried, whether Ning Xiaole had suffered from that mental illness before, but he hadn't recovered from it at all, but was just covered up by him or expressed in another way.
But he didn't know exactly what illness Ning Xiaole suffered from back then, and what kind of characteristics he would have.
Let's take a closer look, at least for the past ten or twenty years, Ning Xiaole has lived well.
Zuo Wenqi breathed a sigh of relief, turned on the computer and continued to process the work he hadn't finished.
……
Downstairs, Ning Xiaole had already happily made mango cakes with Steward He, and even ate two mangoes on the way.
Steward He pretended not to see it, and let him steal it with a smile, and asked him if it was sweet enough at the end.
"It's very sweet!" Ning Xiaole deserved to be happy, obviously in a very good mood, and the movements of his subordinates became smoother.
"Wang Wang!"
Mu Mu, who woke up, smelled the sweet smell of food on their side, ran over and wagged her tail excitedly, but was gently kicked away by Ning Xiaole: "Mu Mu, don't make trouble, go play aside."
But Mu Mu thought he was playing with her, and made trouble even more vigorously, and in the end, she relied on Butler He to stop him from drinking.
Ning Xiaole couldn't help admiring: "Uncle He is so amazing!"
Butler He smiled indifferently: "It's just that I get along with them more often."
Speaking of this, Ning Xiaole asked again: "Usually when Brother Zuo is away, does Uncle He live here alone?"
Butler He nodded: "Well, occasionally I might go to the main house because of the master's order, but I still stay here most of the time."
Ning Xiaole couldn't imagine the life of such a person living in such a big house, and continued to ask: "Wouldn't it be deserted?"
"It's actually okay if you get used to it." Butler He smiled indifferently, "It happens to be clean."
Everyone has their own ideas and habits, Ning Xiaole didn't ask any more questions, and concentrated on making mango cakes with Steward He.
There are only three of them in the family, and there are not many cakes to make, so the current division of labor is that Ning Xiaole is the one who eats, and He Steward makes Mumu and Xiaoli.
Because his mother is busy working to earn money, Ning Xiaole usually cooks food at home, and he often makes cakes and takes them to school to distribute to friends, and he is very skillful.
After the small cakes and cream were spread, Ning Xiaole decorated two of them with mangoes in a regular manner, and specially made a heart shape with mangoes for the third one, and prepared to leave it to Zuo Wenqi.
Steward He saw his plan at a glance, and couldn't help but tease: "It seems that Xiao Le likes the young master very much?"
Ning Xiaole nodded frankly: "Yes! I grew up watching Brother Zuo's dramas! My favorite actor is Brother Zuo!"
While talking, he cut a few more strawberries and filled them with mango hearts.
Zuo Wenqi prefers strawberries to mangoes.
Steward He noticed this detail, and his favor towards Ning Xiaole increased a lot.
At least this Ning Xiaole treats their young master sincerely, not wasting their young master's previous attention to him.
After the cake and tea were ready, Ning Xiaole called Zuo Wenqi down to have a snack together, and even pushed the mango strawberry love cake in front of him.
"This is specially prepared for Brother Zuo, the only one~"
He smiled, and his expression was capitalized and bold "please praise", he looked very cute.
Zuo Wenqi was itching to see it, but he still couldn't hold back and reached out to rub his soft hair, and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, I like it very much."
Ning Xiaole's smile became even brighter, and she quickly said, "Then Brother Zuo, try it quickly!"
Zuo Wenqi himself didn't like eating too sweet things, seeing that he was looking forward to it, he picked up a small spoon and took a bite.
But to his surprise, the cream tasted lighter than ordinary cakes, not so sweet and greasy, which was just right for Zuo Wenqi.
Seeing him pause for a moment, Ning Xiaole knew that he must have noticed the difference in taste and texture, and the clear pupils seemed to be soaked with fine light: "It is specially adjusted for the sweetness of the cream for Brother Zuo, so it is said to be unique. one copy~"
"taste good or not?"
Zuo Wenqi looked at the sweet smile in his eyes, and his heart sank softly: "Mmm, it's delicious."
It has been a long time since he has received such a "unique treatment" exclusive to him.
The author has something to say: Let me say it quietly again, it is a warm and healing direction of two-way redemption, not abusive~
