Back at the villa, Chu Qianze handed over his purchases to Aunt Shen and managed to get a plate of small cookies.

“Thank you, Auntie Shen.” Chu Qianze took a small cookie and tasted one, smiling happily.

“You like this?” Aunt Shen wiped her hands.

“The things you make are very delicious.” This sentence was sincere. If there were any highlights to staying here, it would be the daily food. The combination of balanced nutrition, meat, and vegetables was reasonable, not to mention the color, flavor, and taste. Every time Chu Qianze ate it, he wanted to swallow his tongue. Moreover, the food here had its own characteristics that Chu Qianze had never tasted before.

Everyone liked to listen to compliments, especially if they were sincere, and the person who complimented her was still a handsome guy. Aunt Shen said cheerfully, “Haha, then I will make more for you to taste next time.”

Chu Qianze’s eyes lit up. He immediately thanked her, and then asked if there was anything he could do to help.

“Xiao Chu, your clothes have been customized, come and try them on.” Steward Liu knocked on the kitchen door and reminded him.

“I’ll be right there.” Chu Qianze responded, and after saying goodbye to Aunt Shen, he walked outside with Steward Liu.

“Try to see if it fits.” Steward Liu handed out the box containing the clothes.

The butler’s clothes were all customized according to Bo Yu’s requirements. He liked to see everyone wearing uniform clothes, which would look very pleasing to the eye.

Chu Qianze took the clothes and walked to the locker room next to him. After a while, he changed out.

The clothes were a slim-fit design, with a black tuxedo and a snow-white shirt, a black and white match that couldn’t go wrong. The angle between the neck and the shoulders was just right, and the bow tie tied the neckline of the shirt inside. The slightly waist-retracting design perfectly outlined the curve of Chu Qianze’s entire back, which was very elegant.

 

He had always worn casual clothes that were relaxing and comfortable, but now he had to wear a suit. There was always a sense of restraint. Chu Qianze pulled down his bow tie and let it go down a little bit.

Steward Liu looked up and down, then nodded in satisfaction. “Looks good.”

He put his hand down and smiled, “Really?”

The dress that Chu Qianze changed had an outstanding effect, and he could understand a little bit from the maid who was looking at him in a daze.

“It’s getting late, so go back and rest. Sir will be back tomorrow night, and we will all be there by then. Remember to put on this dress.” After Steward Liu finished his instructions, he turned and left. There were many people working in the massive manor house, and he also had many responsibilities.

Chu Qianze took the clothes and suddenly thought that there were no clothing hangers in his room, so he thought about going to the storage room to look for some.

When he came to the storage room, he was rummaging through it, and suddenly he heard footsteps, followed by a voice.

“Sir will be back tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it. I probably won’t be able to sleep tonight.”

 

“If I remember correctly, you said the same thing when the new butler came a few days ago.”

“Oh, how can this be the same? Why do you have to point it out? By the way, weren’t the assistants Sir found to be all women? Why did he look for a man this time?”

“You don’t know about this?”

“What is it? What should I know?”

“The women who used to be Sir’s assistants did a good job at first, but then their minds drifted, and they always wanted to seduce Mr. and be the mistress here. This has been the case several times in a row. The gentleman was really annoyed, so this time he said he wanted a man.”

“Huh? I didn’t know there was such a thing! But think about it, Sir is so attractive, it’s normal for them to be unable to control it…”

“But doesn’t this involve professionalism? In fact, I think this is also very good, otherwise we won’t meet Butler Chu. The new butler has a really good personality; he’s approachable and handsome.”

“You like him already, don’t you? Although I also think it’s good, hee hee.”

“Don’t talk nonsense, this is a normal appreciation of the opposite sex, okay! Butler Chu is very good, but he always makes people unable to rise to the idea of possession. I think the best thing to do is to watch from a distance. “

“This is a bit familiar, you seem to have described Sir that way.”

 

“Really? Probably have.”

The voices of the two gradually disappeared, and Chu Qianze walked out of the corner.

It’s amazing to suddenly hear about himself in other people’s mouths. It’s just that this experience wasn’t very wonderful, how did he turn out to squat in the corner?

“Obviously I came first, so why am I the one hiding?” His tone was a little helpless.

These two people were also very careless, and they were talking about this in the corridor. If Steward Liu heard it, there would definitely be taught a lesson.

Chu Qianze returned to his room and hung up his clothes.

Bo Yu would come tomorrow, and as his personal butler, he would definitely be closely observed. Chu Qianze’s gaze swept across the taskbar, and the words ‘Unfinished’ on it were very obvious. 

He closed his eyes and suppressed his personal emotions.

The next day soon came, and when the last glimmer of the sun dissipated, a car drove from a distance.

The car stopped. Steward Liu stepped forward, bent over slightly, and opened the rear door.

Bo Yu stepped out on one leg and walked out of the car, combing his hair back obediently, without a trace of folds in his clothes.

“Welcome back, Sir.” Steward Liu said.

Bo Yu nodded to Steward Liu and motioned.

“You’ve worked hard.”

Because Chu Qianze was Bo Yu’s personal butler, he was also standing here at this time, still in the front position.

Seeing the man get out of the car, Chu Qianze took the initiative to come to him, raised his left hand and placed it on his right shoulder, and saluted as a gentleman. “Sir, my name is Chu Qianze, and I will be in charge of your daily life from today.”

Bo Yu looked up and down at the person standing not far away, and some memories appeared in his heart. Of course, he remembered this person. After returning yesterday, Bo An talked about it all night, and he didn’t know where the charm of this kid came from.

“Have we met?” He said with a faint tone, unable to make out what he was thinking.

Chu Qianze’s expression remained unchanged, his eyelids drooped slightly, and he looked respectful. “We met last night, Sir.”

“Really.” As if he felt that the distance was a bit far, Bo Yu took a step towards Chu Qianze and said after a closer look.

“Your appearance is more pleasing to the eye than yesterday.”

He didn’t waste his skin.

I have always been very pleasing to the eye, thank you.

Chu Qianze didn’t respond, he just kept smiling.

After Bo Yu finished speaking, he leaned close to Chu Qianze and sniffed.

Very good, the blood didn’t have a strange taste, much better than the previous ones.

Bo Yu was quite satisfied with this, “Just him.”

Steward Liu responded.

Bo Yu walked directly inside.

“It seems that Sir is very satisfied with you.” Steward Liu stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Chu Qianze, “This is my honor.”

“Come on, do your job well.” With that, Steward Liu walked in the other direction.

Chu Qianze returned to the villa a few steps faster, and he had to deal with matters related to Bo Yu according to his requirements.

After finishing a series of things, Chu Qianze opened the taskbar and glanced at it.

[Task: Become Bo Yu’s personal butler. (Unfinished)]

Still not finished.

Chu Qianze was a little confused by the trial standards of this task. Could it be that he was not a personal butler now? It’s fair to say that although Bo Yu said it, he was actually still in the observation period.

Sure enough, he still had to brush up the favorability first, at least reach the level of appreciation.

“Sir, the room has been cleaned all over. If you need anything, please tell me immediately.” Chu Qianze said, seeing the man standing in the center, that he seemed to be looking at something.

He opened his arm, Chu Qianze understood the meaning, took out his gloves from his pocket and put them on. He walked to Bo Yu in two steps, unbuttoned his coat, and then hung the coat on the hanger.

Bo Yu sat on the sofa and glanced at the teacup on the table.

“Sir, the black tea is ready, do you need it now?” Chu Qianze noticed Bo Yu’s gaze, and his smile was flawless.

“Hmm.” Bo Yu responded faintly.

Seeing Bo Yu’s consent, Chu Qianze put the black tea prepared early in the morning in front of him.

“This is the latest newspaper today.” Putting the neatly placed newspapers next to him, Chu Qianze took the initiative to stand down.

The whole thing happened in one go, without a break, and every time he opened his mouth, the butler put what he needed in front of him.This surprised Bo Yu a little.

He glanced at the closed door, opened the newspaper next to him, and began to look. After a while, he raised his hand, picked up the black tea at the table, and took a sip, his expression paused.

The tea was still the original tea, but the taste had changed a little, becoming mellow and sweet. It seemed that Aunt Shen’s tea-making skills had improved again.

 

The next day, Chu Qianze was about to wake Bo Yu up but found that someone had already appeared in the hall, sitting there waiting to eat.

According to the time, he should still be resting. Moreover, shouldn’t all vampires sleep during the day and act at night? How does this person have a more regular schedule than normal people? There is no difference between life and other aspects of it. If it weren’t for the words written in the script, Chu Qianze would really feel that he was just an ordinary person.

This person was going out today, but he doesn’t know it. This also reflected on the fact that Bo Yu did not take himself to heart, or rather, did not acknowledge himself.

Chu Qianze secretly said that he had miscalculated and walked over quickly, “Is Sir going out? I will prepare a car for you.”

“No need.” Bo Yu said lightly.

At this time, Aunt Shen brought breakfast up.

“Come and sit here too, let’s eat together.” Bo Yu said when he saw Chu Qianze standing next to him.

Chu Qianze was about to refuse, but he listened to Bo Yu continue, “Since you have become my butler, there aren’t so many constraints. Just feel free, come and sit down. “

It was hypocritical to refuse at this time, so Chu Qianze found a suitable place to sit down.

Bo Yu didn’t care about him; he just drank a cup of tea and asked in a daze.

“Aunt Shen, is this your black tea? It feels different from last night.”

Aunt Shen heard the words and said, “Sir, I was not feeling well last night and went to bed very early.”

Unexpectedly, this was the answer. Bo Yu took a sip of the black tea and finally put it down. After drinking the better one, the taste that he liked very much became dull.

“It’s you?” He looked at the person sitting next to him.

“Yesterday, I thought Sir would want to drink, so I prepared it myself in advance.” Chu Qianze said, with some embarrassment on his face.

“Have you studied these?” Bo Yu asked with a hint of interest.

“Yes, I have studied specifically.” Chu Qianze said.

Bo Yu, “Well done.”

When Chu Qianze heard this, he understood his subtext. This was waiting for him to make a cup.

“I’ll go get something.”

He stood up and was about to walk to the kitchen.

“No need, just do it here. Everything is there.”

Aunt Shen’s tea-making level was already recognized, and this kid could even be slightly better than her.

Bo Yu wanted to see how this person did it.

“Then I’ll wash my hands first.” Chu Qianze said, walking to the next room.

When he came back from washing his hands, all the things he needed were already on the table.

“Sir, I wonder how much time you have now?” Chu Qianze said, placing the tea sets in different positions in turn.

“Why do you ask?” Bo Yu raised his eyebrows and did not immediately give an answer.

“The taste of different methods is different, and the time it takes is different too.” Chu Qianze wiped the tea set, and then heated the cup and teapot. His slender hands reflected the tea set, forming a very beautiful picture.

“Just follow your rhythm.” Bo Yu moved the things in front of him to the side, motioning for people to take them away so that it would be easier to see Chu Qianze’s movements. He wanted to see what this person could come up with.

Hooked.

Chu Qianze smiled in his heart.

The so-called good impression: the most important thing was to give him what he wanted.

Bo Yu, a person who pursued rituals and life, had a soft spot for tea, so he worked hard on it.

When he was ready, Chu Qianze said to Bo Yu.

“Sir, I will start now.”

He closed his eyes, let his thoughts fall silent, and the whole person returned to a state of calm.

The tea ceremony, which combined tea with artistic conception, was the way to appreciate the beauty of tea. This was the art of life of cooking tea and drinking tea, a way of life etiquette and self-cultivation that used tea as the medium.

When Chu Qianze opened his eyes, the aura of his whole body made Bo Yu’s eyes move, and a little expectation rose in his heart.

An appropriate amount of tea was taken out of the container, the tea leaves rubbed against each other to make a small sound, and then placed in the pot.

Raising his hand and pouring the prepared boiling water into the pot, shake it for a while and quickly pour out the water, completing the first step of washing tea.

Generally speaking, the tea ceremony should be accompanied by music to create just the right atmosphere, but since there was no music at this time, Chu Qianze could only go on by himself.

His voice flattened and slowed down, and in line with his movements, he explained the meaning of his behavior at the moment.

The voice was gentle, the speed of speech was slow, little by little, step by step, pulling people into the world he created.

Literati and aristocratic people sat together by the slowly flowing stream, sipping tea, sencha, and fighting tea. If the interest came, they would sing a poem and play a song, at ease and leisurely. The blue smoke rose slowly, but the fairyland on earth was nothing more than that.

Brew and seal the pot…

Bo Yu didn’t know when he leaned forward, staring firmly at the person in front of him, unwilling to miss any details.

He had a feeling that Chu Qianze was not just making tea, but more like showing a spirit, a culture, or even a piece of history, a scene of prosperity that really happened.

But was this possible?

He had never seen or heard of the things the other party said.

Finally, the tea in the pot was completely brewed. Chu Qianze tilted the pot at an angle, and the water gently touched the teacup, making a crisp sound, which, together with the fragrance of the tea, was transmitted to Bo Yu’s.

Chu Qianze put the tea in front of Bo Yu with both hands, and extended his palm with his right hand to express his invitation.

“The last step is to serve tea.”

“Thank you.”

Bo Yu sniffed carefully first, the fragrance of tea was clear and refreshing, as if the haze in his heart had been blown away.

At this moment, Bo Yu realized the extraordinary tea. He glanced at Chu Qianze, took a sip, and then there was nothing else, only the tea in the cup. The overflowing fragrance, the mellow sweetness, and the indescribable feeling were really memorable.

After a while, the teacup was put down, and it had bottomed out.

“Unexpectedly, you still have such good talent. I have never seen your so-called tea ceremony, and I have never tasted this kind of tea before.” Bo Yu pressed the sigh in his heart and raised his evaluation of the person in front of him slightly.

“Just like it, Sir.”

Chu Qianze smiled humbly, feeling that the task could probably be completed.

“It seems that I picked up the treasure this time. Put this tea up; I want to take it away.” Bo Yu chuckled lightly, stood up, and walked outside.

The time was later than planned, which disrupted his arrangements, and everything would be delayed later, but for this tea, it was really worth it.

“Sir, take care.”

Chu Qianze watched Bo Yu go away. After chatting with Aunt Shen and Steward Liu for a while, he returned to his room.

Opening the taskbar, but seeing that the task of the personal butler was still unfinished. His expression became cold.

This wasn’t done yet?

He clicked to refresh, but nothing changed.

“Did you crash?”

Chu Qianze fell into deep doubt.
