Chapter 448: Chapter 446: All the Beauty of April Fades from the World

When the sky was bright and clear, Lin Shuang was awakened by someone knocking on the door.

The knocking sounded like never-ending firecrackers during the New Year festivities, enthusiastically and lively.

One person alone certainly couldn’t produce such a grand knocking…

Stuck at the door were the three girls: Yan Han, Xia Yixin, and Tong Ge!

The most chaotic knocking came from Xiao Han, the lighter knocks from Yixin, and the steady, one-by-one knocks from the little sister-in-law.

Lin Shuang was suddenly fully awake with this setup, looking at the Little Ayao in his arms.

Ayao was also gazing at him eagerly, “Master…”

After the greeting, this Maid Chief bit the tip of her tongue and shrank back under the covers, only leaving a pair of eyes to watch secretly.

Lin Shuang understood: It was his duty to answer the door, to face the storm head-on!

He caressed her somewhat fluffy hair from just having woken up, and spoke with emphasis.

“Little Ayao, as the Maid Chief of the Lin Family, the true head of the household, you need to brace yourself! Show some spirit to go out and scare away those three rowdy door-blockers!”

Ayao nuzzled at his chest coquettishly, “Master is the real head of the household~”

“Master is no match for those three at the door!”

The combat strength of the girls in the house increases geometrically with their number!

He could handle one girl alone, two would be somewhat strenuous, three would be difficult to defeat even if he puts in his full effort!

Like in the dream yesterday… later on, Xia Yixin also joined the ranks against Young Master Lin.

This little lady had been secretly observing from behind the door curtain all along!

Too much! It’s way too much! The combined assault of three Fairies and a Demoness left Young Master Lin with no ground to stand on!

Although those knocking at the door right now might not be the original crew…

But still, three’s a crowd!

Lin Shuang and Ayao continued to struggle.

At the door, they already started to plant flags and shout commands.

First was the little sister-in-law, Tong Ge, taking the lead, “Sister, you’re inside, right?”

Her voice wasn’t loud but carried a clear resonance!

Then came Yixin’s not-so-loud voice, “Master, Ayao… it’s time to get up for breakfast…”

She sounded caring yet slightly guilty, after all, she was one of the culprits who had bedded Lin Shuang!

Lastly came Xiao Han’s loudest voice, “Brother Shuang, open the door! If you have the guts to sneak snacks, you should have the guts to open the door!”

Hmm… She actually has the smallest chest resonance among the girls present, so why can she produce the loudest voice?

Truly magical.

Lin Shuang held Little Ayao, listening to the shouting outside, and thought to himself that the three outside didn’t seem that strong in combat after all!

Xiao Han and Yixin were just bluffing, and as for the little sister-in-law… although she did discipline him yesterday, she’s actually easy to knock down!

Estimating the combat strength, Lin Shuang prepared to step forward and face the storm!

But Ayao was one step ahead of him, standing up with hands on her hips atop the bed, beginning to gather the Maid Chief’s momentum.

“Little Ayao is quite spirited… hmm, it’d be even more imposing if you pulled up your nightgown a bit.”

Halfway through her build-up, Ayao, after his reminder, realized that one strap of her nightgown had slipped down…

The view was rather splendid: As April’s charm ebbs in the world, the peach blossoms of the mountain monastery begin to bloom. Disappointed that spring can’t be found anywhere, little did I know it turned into this scene.

Ayao gasped softly, crossing her arms in front of her, pulling the strap back up.

“It’s all Master’s fault!”

Indeed, this was Lin Shuang’s doing… no help for it, he was used to holding Little Ayao in his sleep… his hand naturally went there…

After criticizing Master, Ayao completed loading the Maid Chief’s spirit and jumped down from the bed towards the door.

Lin Shuang also sat up, stretched lazily with a cheeky smile.

Ayao looked at him adorably scrunching her nose and then opened the door.

Yan Han knocked on the door in the most carefree manner and then with an “Ouch~” she jumped into her arms.

Ayao steadied her and gently asked with a smile, “Xiao Han, don’t you have class this morning?”

Xiao Han immediately stood at attention, “Yes, Mommy Yao, I’m going to pack my schoolbag now…”

Ayao then turned to her sister, “Little Dove, is breakfast ready?”

“…Yes, it’s ready, sister.”

Finally, there was Yixin, “Teacher Xia, go and accompany the master in washing up; we’re getting ready for breakfast.”

“Okay…”

The Maid Chief managed to arrange these three in an orderly fashion!

Lin Shuang couldn’t help but smile from behind. Ayao then turned her head and looked at him.

“And there’s the young master as well… Humph, it’s all the master’s fault for holding me too tightly.”

Lin Shuang also straightened up, “Then next time…”

“Next time you also need to hold Ayao tightly~”

Little Ayao clapped her hands with a beaming smile, “All right, everyone, let’s get moving.”

Saying this, she turned around, taking elegant steps down the stairs.

The three blocked at the door exchanged glances, their gazes meeting.

“What did we come here for?”

“It seems like we came here to intercept Ayao…”

“Mommy Yao! Don’t run away!”

Xiao Han was the first to come to her senses, darting from behind to hug Ayao, “Caught you! The naughty maid who stole food from the master!”

Ayao finally couldn’t hold back, “Um… Anyway, it’s all the master’s fault!”

The master’s embrace was too comfortable, and he held her so tightly that the diligent and capable Maid Chief definitely wouldn’t have overslept~

“Sister, you violated the maid manual.”

“In our maid manual, isn’t there a rule that the little maids should sleep holding the master…”

Yixin, also a little maid, blinked, “Yes, there is…”

Yixin also wants to abide by the maid manual!

Xiao Han started hopping, “There are such good things! I also want to become Brother Shuang’s little maid! Is there a duty roster? Let’s take turns!”

“Let the Maid Chief handle this kind of thing~”

“Mommy Yao! Reject monopolization!”

The four girls gathered around, laughing and frolicking, while Lin Shuang stretched out vigorously in the morning light.

What a blissful morning.

During wash-up, Yixin approached diligently to help him wash his face.

He hugged this little lady and nibbled on her earlobe, “Yixin, tell the master, did you have any dreams last night?”

Yixin, skillfully overpowered by Lin Shuang, instantly lost the ability to resist—not that this little lady would ever resist him, “Um… no… no…”

“You should tell the truth to the master, okay?”

Lin Shuang’s hand was itching to try, ready to punish this little lady at any moment.

“Uh… there’s none…”

“Yixin is naughty~”

With a “smack~” his hand came down, and Yixin immediately confessed, “It’s the young lady… The young lady told me not to say… Yixin is well-behaved…”

Lin Shuang delivered another slap, “Yixin was quite bold in the dream, even climbing on top of my head!”

“Woo woo… We were… healing the master…”

The fairies and the demoness joined forces to help Young Master Lin heal.

Young Master Lin kissed the little lady in his arms, “Is there anything else Yixin wants to confess voluntarily?”
