"I don't mean that." Samuel was helpless.
Xiaotao cried, "If that's not what you meant, why didn't I cook for you?"
"I have something urgent to leave here, so..." Samuel replied in confusion. He wanted to get up and walk out, but Xiaotao stood in front of him. He moved again, and Xiaotao blocked him.
"Oh, my god, what are you going to do? Alright, how about this. I'll eat the food you cooked so that you can explain to Senior Sister Qin Shuang. However, can we go somewhere else?" Samuel compromised.
Xiaotao looked up at Samuel with tears in her eyes. "Where are we going?"
"You can go anywhere. Anyway, you can't stay in this room," Samuel said with a headache.
Xiaotao nodded. "Then come with me, Young Master."
He followed Xiaotao all the way out of the main hall of the Fourth Peak and went straight down the mountain for about half a kilometer. They arrived at the kitchen of the Fourth Peak. Although it was called a kitchen, it was more like a resting palace of an ancient emperor on earth. It occupied a large area. There were all kinds of houses inside. Samuel walked in and walked several times before he reached several big houses in the northwest corner.
"Young Master, that's the main hall of the kitchen. You can rest for a while. After I've prepared the food, I'll serve you. By the way, what do you want to eat?" Although Xiaotao was smiling, there were still tears on her face.
Samuel touched his head. "Is there a lot of people here?"
"That's our kitchen servants' eating place. There are indeed a lot of servants."
"I don't mean that. Why don't you find me a place with fewer people? It should be better with only you and me." Samuel was already afraid of people's gossip. He didn't want this matter to get involved. If it weren't for Xiaotao's behavior, Samuel couldn't refuse, or he wouldn't even want to eat.
Hearing Samuel's words, Xiaotao was a little confused. "But there's nothing else in the kitchen except for the guest hall. I'm afraid that you'll be wronged."
"Don't say that. I'm also a slave. I'm from the vegetable garden halfway up the mountain. Why don’t we go to the kitchen?" Samuel asked.
Xiaotao shook her head and said, "The kitchen is too hot and dirty. If you don't mind, can you wait in my room? At least, the environment there is better."
Samuel nodded. No matter where he went, as long as there was no one around, there would be fewer rumors.
Moments later, Xiaotao took Samuel to a small house inside. The outer wall was old and the door was old, but it was much stronger than the shabby thatched cottage where Samuel lived.
