“Grandma…” Yi frowned, disapproving of the address. “When did I become your grandma? I’m so young, and you’re so old!”
Although she is 90 years old according to the age of a fox spirit, she is only eighteen years old in human years.
"Oh dear, this 'auntie' is not the same as the 'grandmother' you're talking about." Xiao Fang sighed and rubbed his forehead in frustration. People from the countryside are just like that; they can't even understand this.
"How can it be different? I'm definitely younger than you!"
"I...I...you..." Xiao Fang choked and couldn't utter a complete sentence. "I do look a little more mature than you, but that's all because of all the sun and rain, and all the hardships I've endured. This is a work injury, you know? But Miss Yi, you've reminded me. When the boss comes back, I'm going to apply for workers' compensation, and maybe I'll try putting on some face masks and powder like other people do."
Uh... Xiao Fang has such a dark, square face, it's not like she's wearing makeup, it's more like she's plastering a wall. Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps.
"Also, Miss Yi, you should read more books and learn more knowledge when you have time. As the saying goes, well, the early bird catches the worm."
"Who are you calling a bird?!"
Yi stood with her hands on her hips, her round eyes wide. She was a spirit fox, intelligent and beautiful, much more ambitious than those silly birds who only knew how to eat insects.
Xiao Fang was almost furious enough to vomit blood. Well, after working alongside the boss and the young lady for so long, he was still so uncultured. Having been criticized countless times by the boss for not even knowing how to use idioms, Xiao Fang finally felt a sense of triumph. See? He wasn't the dumbest; there were others even less intelligent than him.
"Alright, Miss Yi, I'm worried my IQ will drop if we keep talking. Hurry up and eat something, I still have to deliver food to the old man and the young lady."
As Xiao Fang spoke, she walked away, her voice fading into the distance. "Honestly, serving the old man and the young lady is bad enough, but now we have to serve this one too. Who's the hostage here? Is there no justice in this world...?"
With a bang, the door slammed shut. Yi Yi grabbed her hair in frustration and sprawled on the bed in a panicked, sprawled position.
The dream she just had was so vivid; she was still shaken. Something must have happened to Mumu; she had to break free, even if it meant risking her life.
Jump out the window! Although humans are relatively fragile, she should still be able to fight for her life if she risks it with her old bones.
Yi Yi rolled over and sat up in bed, ran a few steps to the window, and opened it. Her feet were already on the windowsill, her hands gripping the window frame. She looked down, took a deep breath, leaned forward, closed her eyes, and was about to jump.
Just then, the door creaked open again, and a dark figure rushed toward her.
Yi Yi let out an "Ah!" as Xiao Fang, who had just come in, grabbed one of her feet and pulled her to the floor. With a "thud," her bottom almost got a bruise.
"Small……"
Just as Yi Yi was about to retaliate, she saw Xiao Fang look at her with an even angrier expression and say disdainfully, "Miss Yi Yi, what's wrong with you that you'd want to jump off a building and 'commit suicide'?!"
Huh? 'Suicide'! He saw with his other eye that she was about to 'commit suicide'.
Could it be because they saw her standing on the window that they thought that? Please, does she seem like someone who's that suicidal?
