I’ve Got This Servant’s Back (5.1)
The heart seemed to stop beating suddenly, and Gu Song could hardly sense the existence of his body and lowered his head stiffly and slowly. “Youngest Master…”
——But he has nothing to offer except these.
The clueless servant lowered his head, trying hard to think whether he did something wrong or said something wrong, and wondered if there’s something else that could be promised. Meanwhile, the slippery thin, white hand was already fumbling on his wrist and fell into his palm, the cold fingers clenching hard.
The Youngest Master is having a hard time.
Gu Song immediately discarded his extra thoughts and wrapped his hands around the trembling cold hand, wanting to check his physical condition. However, Lu Qingshi held him firmly, the rare stubbornness was seen in his dark black eyes. Then, he spoke in a slow but determined voice.
“…I don’t want your life.”
Gu Song was startled.
Lu Qingshi looked at him while panting for a moment before curling the corners of his lips upwards with a faint blush on his delicate face. “I want you to take care of me…”
While speaking out this obviously willful request, his voice became lowered again and tugged softly at the heart of the servant in front of him.
The hanging heart instantly fell down at those words. Gu Song was finally able to smile and breathed a sigh of relief. He gathered his arms, bowed his head and asked him softly. “Am I not taking care of the Youngest Master now?”
“Always take care of me.”
After the start, the following words became much easier. 1Anna: After having started to speak, the rest of the words are easy to say since what he was saying is quite embarrassing. Lu Qingshi took a breath and raised his head to meet the gentle black eyes of the juvenile servant. “So I have to live for a long time.”
He took a few breaths and insisted once again. “You have to live longer than me.”
Gu Song was stunned for a while before finally understanding what his Youngest Master meant actually. The sweetness and sourness that intertwined in his heart was covered with speechless bitterness, almost suffocating him.
Lu Qingshi was still stubbornly looking at him so he tightened his arms before lowering his head and kissed him gently. “…Okay.”
Lu Qingshi’s delicate and pretty eyebrows were beautifully curved upwards and the corners of his lips finally raised. He then wrapped his arms around Gu Song’s shoulders and neck and rubbed his lips against his like a reward before closing his eyes again.
Gu Song also put his arms around him and patted him slowly. When the Youngest Master’s breath became clear and long, he lowered his head and pressed his cheek against his forehead. His voice became choked with emotions. “Youngest Master can live for a long time… so don’t think about these things anymore.”
Lu Qingshi was falling asleep, and when he heard his voice, he mumbled instinctively. Gu Song only asked him to agree, finally showing a soft smile on his face and rubbing the Youngest Master’s hair again, and put him back on the bed gently while hugging.
How old is his Youngest Master to be thinking about these matters of life and death?
The Youngest Master fell into deep sleep in his arms quietly, his face was pale and his breath was soft. Although his complexion was not healthy, it was still soft, revealing the soft luster of life.
Gu Song lowered his head and kissed him. He then carefully covered him with the quilt, adjusted the temperature and humidity of the room, and blocked the dim and warm light before going out.
The interrupted promise quietly took root in his heart.2Anna: I don’t like this foreshadowing
It would be great if the vitality could also be infused and transferred.
It would be great if he could give the health and the ability to live healthily to his Youngest Master…

Lu Nanxing, who felt so sorry for his youngest brother, started to help Lu Qingshi skip class deliberately.
This kind of thing was undoubtedly hidden to the brother who had always been sensible. He could only rely on the help of the obstructive rebellious servant, and a few brothers were used to cover it. When encountering particularly hard lessons such as piano, everyone combined efforts to make sure that five classes a week could be reduced into two or three classes.
During the turn of summer and autumn, Lu Qingshi’s body was always weaker. Sometimes, he slept longer than the time he was awake. He couldn’t even remember the days so he didn’t notice the little moves made by his brothers and Gu Song.
With the concerted efforts of the family, Lu Qingshi became much more relaxed than before and also had the mood and spare energy to go out and walk around.
“Youngest Master, today’s weather is good. It’s nice to go out and get some air.”
It was rare that the sky was bright and fresh, and Lu Qingshi’s spirit was better than usual. Gu Song half-kneeled in front of the bed and adjusted his cuffs for him. He then checked the weather outside and smiled while holding his hand and raised his head. “I will accompany the Youngest Master out for a walk, okay?”
After crossing that boundary, he also discovered many new details that he had never noticed before or that he didn’t dare to think about.
For example, his young master always liked to watch him secretly at all times.
He heard from the Sixth Young Master, who majored in art, that the slanting angle from the top to the bottom was the best looking. Naturally, the juvenile servant, who rarely had any heart to say no, made full use of his convenience and insisted on meticulously completing the steps of dressing and putting on his shoes every day by half kneeling by the bed. Every day, that way, he could see the scarlet color on the Youngest Master’s face creeping up to his ears, and then the stars burst in the soft black eyes.
Unfortunately, the grown-up Youngest Master is no longer buried in the medicine bowl and spit bubbles again.
Secretly regretting for a moment in the bottom of his heart, Gu Song quickly and professionally collected all his thoughts, helped him stand up, and tidied up his coat neatly. “Does the Youngest Master have any places he wants to go?”
The almost grown-up servant now had well-built shoulders with broad arms and long sword-like eyebrows. He was dressed in a tailored shirt and tuxedo, looking very chic with a casual shake of his clothes. Lu Qingshi’s heart beat lightly, letting him hug himself and put on his coat. “Are there no classes today?”
“The teacher asked for a temporary leave, saying something happened.”
The Youngest Master was too obedient. Even if he was not really interested, he must go to class, and even if he didn’t go, he must finish his homework.
Recently, Lu Qingshi’s physical condition wasn’t that good, and it took longer than usual to do his homework. He even fell asleep in front of the desk several times before Gu Song could find a chance to carry him back to the bed.
After being pulled into the group by a few Lu family children led by the three young masters, Gu Song struggled for two nights, and finally joined the Alliance to Care for Youngest Master Skipping Class3Anna: I can’t!!!!! Jue: Anna is out of the world now kekeke on the night when Lu Qingshi fell ill while doing homework.
In addition, he also undertook the arduous task of secretly completing the coursework that Lu Qingshi had left unfinished when he didn’t know.
As always, the Youngest Master wasn’t easily fooled and blinked at him in disbelief. Gu Song spoke calmly and fastened the buttons one by one for him. “I will accompany the Youngest Master to the simulated fighting training ground, do you want to go?”
Most of the time, this training ground was for the Lu family’s children to train their mental abilities, and could simulate a variety of real environments. As long as the mental power was introduced, even if a person was leaning on a recliner and basking in the sun, he could fight and brawl in the arena to exercise more detailed control of the mecha.
But for Lu Qingshi, the training ground was usually used just to simulate various scenes, then Gu Song led them to wander around and admire them.
After shutting himself at home for a long time, he naturally felt bored. So, his eyes slightly brightened at those words and he nodded immediately. “Can we go now?”
“Let’s go, we’ll be back after a while Youngest Master, just be careful not to tire yourself out too much.”
The training ground was semi-outdoor, which not only relaxed the mood but also allowed Lu Qingshi to breathe some fresh air and get more sunshine, which was always good for the body.
While smiling, Gu Song stretched out his hand and led him out of the bedroom through the clean corridor built with Ningshen wood4MG: Calming wood. 宁神 – To calm the mind and spirit – Comes from ‘法言·至孝序; ‘Fayan: Filial Piety’. https://www.linuxdiyf.com/cidian/id_341500.html, to find a place for him where the sun and wind were right and to protect him from sitting in a semi-fitting recliner. “Youngest Master, sit here and watch the scenery. I will be back in a while.”
Putting on the goggles, everything in front of you instantly became a vast interstellar ship, and you could move freely in it with just one thought.
For the Youngest Master, who usually stayed in the house getting recuperated and was allowed to go out only on rare occasions, this was such a great recreational activity.
Although Lu Deng liked to stay quiet without moving around, the monotonous life of recuperating from illness day after day was boring after all. He had even forced himself to turn his interest in studying. It could be seen clearly that he was very bored.
Lu Feng was afraid that he couldn’t use mental energy properly and it would backfire in his body. So, he was never allowed to touch or take part in such a dangerous place as the training ground. Only today, his brother and Gu Song schemed together to open the back door, as there were not many opportunities to come and play.
Lu Qingshi looked up at Gu Song and nodded. He put on his goggles and guided his mental energy into the training ground.
Gu Song took out the accompanying small medicine furnace from the spatial button, placed the medicine inside to simmer it and set the time before joining him. He also channeled his mental power into it. In front of his eyes, however, was not a vast forest, but a majestic and vast interstellar ship.
Lu Qingshi’s figure was standing on the deck.
The projection of the body was based on the strength of his own mental power. Lu Qingshi had been sick since he was a child, but his mental power was a little stronger than others. The silhouette projected in this way looked much healthier than in reality.
Virtual reality spread out a vast expanse of stars, and the stars shone brilliantly on the wide deck. Countless planets slowly revolved around a certain star, and bright and quiet galaxies lay across the distant sky.
