The Universe's First Hide and Seek

On a certain planet in a certain galaxy, in a retro-style house, there is a huge greenhouse garden.

"Dai Bowen, don't read the news about the Dragon Cub picking up the little dragon cub."

The housekeeper walked into the greenhouse garden, knocked on the glass wall of the greenhouse, and made an aggressive voice: "Master Shen Xiuyuan will return to this house tomorrow, have the flowers in the garden and the house been arranged?"

"The garden is ready." Dai Bowen turned off the projection of the communicator and stood up, "But, isn't Ms. Shen Minglan allergic to pollen? You want to arrange cut flowers in the house?"

"Just put some appropriate ones in the young master's room, just that one, vintage roses." The housekeeper pointed to the most delicate flower in the greenhouse, "That is the favorite flower of the young master's biological mother, and the young master should also like it .”

"Understood, don't worry, I will take care of it." Dai Bowen asked, "But how many flowers?"

"You can figure it out." The housekeeper said, "However, don't make too much at the first time, and if the young master doesn't like it, you can quickly withdraw."

"Okay." Dai Bowen nodded. The butler had other things to do, so he left quickly.

Dai Bowen was left alone in the greenhouse glass room again.

"Red roses for a big man's room? What a great idea..."

Dai Bowen muttered, wandered into the rose bushes and started picking roses.Roses this year—to be precise, the red roses—are much easier to grow than before. The greenhouse basically eliminates pests and diseases, and they can grow well with ventilation, water, sunlight, and fertilizers.If it wasn't so simple, Dai Bowen, a person who never paid attention to this aspect before, would definitely not be able to do it so smoothly as soon as he came here.

Dai Bowen looked at the large expanse of beautiful flowers that he had planted after several months of hard work, and felt that if the housekeeper hadn't said "don't have too many" before, he would have produced 999 flowers for that Shen Dashao who had never met before. Come.

However, this Shen Xiuyuan...

While Dai Bowen was pondering and choosing flowers, another person came to the flower room.

—Windsor, the head maid.

"Bowen, the butler asked me to bring you this vase. After arranging the flowers, give it to me or the butler, and we will send it to the young master's room." The head maid, Windsor, is a woman in her fifties. After a long time, I knew that she was quite a nice person, "Talk to me on the communicator after you install it."

"Yes." Dai Bowen hugged the vase, estimated the amount of burden on the mouth of the bottle, and put the vase beside it first.Turning around, I found that Windsor was still standing in the greenhouse: "Is there anything else?"

Windsor turned her head to look at the door of the greenhouse, it was closed tightly, and then she looked at Dai Bowen: "Ask you a question."

Dai Bowen looked at her and said calmly, "What, Windsor?"

"The new maid... is Su Jingjing, do you know?"

"Yes. The one who came yesterday?"

"Even you know?"

"She came to say hello to me. We haven't had a newcomer here for a long time, and of course I can remember."

"She even came to your place..." Windsor frowned, "I feel that there is something wrong with her."

"what is the problem?"

"She is very kind to everyone." Windsor said, "I'm not saying that being kind is bad, but she seems to be asking some questions and making some suggestions for the sake of being kind. Those contents... more or less exceed the authority."

Dai Bowen asked: "You mean, Su Jingjing tried to influence the operation of this mansion?"

"That's not so serious...is it?" Windsor thought for a while, "I just think her kindness is a bit weird. I don't know if it has something to do with the young master coming back..."

Dai Bowen asked again: "If it's related, do you think she is from the Young Master's side, or Miss Shen's side?"

"Then I can't tell. The matter between the young master and Miss Shen Minglan is too complicated." Windsor sighed softly, "Miss Shen Minglan has occupied this house for so many years, isn't it because she wants to inherit the Shen family? What happened to the young master back then? Many people have privately rumored that it has something to do with Miss Shen Minglan. Now that the young master is going back to the house, he is probably here to compete with his aunt for the right of inheritance, so please don't bring trouble to us pond fish!"

Dai Bowen asked: "I seldom hear about the eldest son. What kind of person is he? I'm afraid that I will accidentally make a mistake and offend him."

"Him? I haven't seen him for a long time. Since he accidentally fell from a building when he was 15 years old and had to have his legs amputated, he hasn't been out of the room very much since he came back. It was a quarrel with the old lady who was still alive at the time." Windsor replied, "Later, when the eldest and youngest were 20 years old, they were sent out, saying that they were recuperating, and then they never came back. It was four years ago when the old lady passed away. Once, I was still in a wheelchair at that time."

Dai Bowen wondered: "Why didn't he install a mechanical prosthesis? Isn't the level of bionics of the current mechanical prosthesis not much different from real legs?"

"It seems that he doesn't like it himself. The Shen family is all advocating retro, you know, that's why there are so many real-life butlers, servants, and gardeners in this house, and Miss Shen Minglan didn't order the garden to be eradicated when she hated flowers so much. , all to show that the Shen family still retains the old-fashioned customs." Windsor said, "Plus, after the young master was injured, his personality changed drastically...you understand?"

"I see." Dai Bowen nodded, "It seems that the young master will come back tomorrow, so we all need to be a little more cautious."

"I thought so too." Windsor said, "Oh, actually, everyone was a little trembling because of this incident. If it weren't for the greenhouse being the only place that wasn't equipped with surveillance, I really wouldn't have a place to confide. I think it's really weird that Ms. Shen Minglan dismantled the monitoring system of the greenhouse just because she didn't want to see flowers in the monitoring. Now that I think about it, I really appreciate her disgust."

"You are welcome to come anytime." Dai Bowen smiled, looked into Windsor's eyes and said slowly, "However, don't tell others what you said here, or we will all be miserable."

Windsor froze for a moment, then smiled: "Of course, this is the only place Miss Shen Minglan won't come to. I don't want her to hear any rumors and ruin this place."

After speaking, Windsor left.

Dai Bowen watched her go out, then slowly walked back to the rose bush.

"Shen Xiuyuan..." He looked at Rose and narrowed his eyes.

"The people in this whole house are not my target...so, are you?"

***

On the day when Shen Xiuyuan, the eldest son of the Shen family, came back, all the servants of the Shen family went to the gate to greet him.

Line up in two rows, bow under the leadership of the butler, and say "Welcome back young and old" Qiqi, the style is really enough.However, Dai Bowen privately feels that this model looks a bit rustic after hundreds of years, full of the taste of nouveau riche.

But the Shen family is indeed a family with hundreds of years of accumulation, and I don't know whose idea it is to insist on this kind of alternative retro, and why they are proud of it for generations.

And Shen Xiuyuan who was returning now - Dai Bowen didn't even have to look up to see him - was still sitting in a wheelchair.Although it was the kind that could stretch out the auxiliary wheels and support rods at any time, so he didn't have to worry about going up and down the stairs, but everything meant that Shen Xiuyuan hadn't installed prosthetics yet!

Dai Bowen was at a loss: What is the picture?Sick of hurting your legs, shouldn't you put on prosthetics and pretend to be a normal person soon?Why did you lose your temper and insist on not wearing prosthetics?

Dai Bowen also thought: If I were a partner, he would probably have prosthetics installed soon after he came, right?Otherwise, wouldn't it be very inconvenient, and he probably likes high technology quite a bit, and won't stick too much to retro...

"What are you looking at?"

Shen Xiuyuan, who had been away from his home for a long time, finally said the first sentence, although his voice was magnetic but gloomy: "What do you want to do secretly?"

For a moment, Dai Bowen thought he was caught by sneaking a peek at him.But before Dai Bowen could figure out whether to answer, he heard a female voice reply: "Young Master, I'm not sneaking around, I'm just curious about you."

As soon as the voice came out, the servants who were still hanging their heads couldn't help but looked over in unison.

——It's Su Jingjing, the maid who just arrived the day before yesterday!

Her expression now is the same as when she came to greet Dai Bowen, innocent and smiling.

Shen Xiuyuan's wheelchair stopped not far in front of her, Shen Xiuyuan turned around and looked at her: "Curious?"

His expression looked calm at first glance, but Dai Bowen could distinguish the trace of displeasure and mockery.Speaking of which, although this young man was rumored to have a grumpy temperament, he was indeed good-looking.Moreover, although she has been in a wheelchair all year round, she is not too thin, which may be the result of persistent exercises for her upper body.

Overall, he's pretty handsome, even if he's in a wheelchair.

Su Jingjing obviously also had a good impression of this handsome guy, and replied without any fear: "Yes. I'm Su Jingjing who just came to work in the mansion the day before yesterday. I don't know much about the young and old, so I'm a little curious."

Shen Xiuyuan didn't comment on her words.

He just turned his head to look at the butler: "So, this is the result of two days of training?"

The housekeeper finally sensed the faint sternness in Shen Xiuyuan's tone, and lowered his head in trepidation: "Sorry, young master, I will teach her again soon."

Su Jingjing: "...Huh?"

Shen Xiuyuan said coldly: "Don't let her appear in front of me again."

The butler also responded immediately: "Okay, Young Master."

Su Jingjing: "Huh?!"

She reacted for a few seconds, finally realized what this meant, and said in surprise: "No, wait, young master, I didn't do anything, why..."

"Shen Xiuyuan, once you come back, you'll be very majestic!"

A female voice came in from upstairs, everyone turned their heads and saw Shen Minglan walking down from the second floor.

She is over 40 years old, but her appearance and figure are still very good, but she is frighteningly serious without smiling all day long.Her temper is also a little weird, or a bit critical and mean, so the servants in the house quickly lowered their heads when they saw her.

Only Su Jingjing, when Shen Minglan walked down, walked towards her with an expression of "meeting someone who upholds justice" on her face: "Miss, you know the lesson, I just..."

"Don't touch me!" Shen Minglan waved away Su Jingjing's outstretched hand, glanced at her in disgust as if looking at something dirty, then walked around her and walked in front of Shen Xiuyuan.

"When I see my aunt, I don't even know how to ask? Shen Xiuyuan!"
