Chapter 172: Losing Your Temper
The man said he wanted to hire a cook from Huainan, and a few days later the cook really showed up.
I don’t know if Yan Ye had given any instructions to the servants. Before, Xu Xiaoyue could eat as much or as little as she wanted.
In fact, the servants were happier when she ate less.
Food was not plentiful these days, not to mention this place was in the suburbs, so the food delivered was in fixed quantities and at regular times.
The girl didn't eat much, and it would be a waste to throw away the rest, so the servants tacitly kept it.
But this situation has never happened again since the last time when the man almost got angry and fired me.
They are now hoping that Xu Xiaoyue can eat more so that she can gain some weight.
Xu Xiaoyue felt more and more like she was being watched like a prisoner. She stood on the attic and looked at the scenery outside the iron gate.
The bragi and chocolate malted milk that the man mentioned last time came in waves, and several of the skirts Xu Xiaoyue had never even worn were already covered in dust in the closet.
But since the last time they met, she hadn't seen the man for nearly a week.
He always seems to be busy.
"Miss Xu, please eat something."
Xiaoxiao brought the food over and saw that the girl was just sitting by the window, with no intention of eating at all.
She waited and waited, but couldn't help but urge him.
Xu Xiaoyue turned her head, her eyes fell on the woman, then raised her eyes to look at the food on the small table.
Three dishes and one soup, all delicious.
It can be seen that the chef this time put more effort than last time.
She waved her hand and said lightly, "Take it away. I have no appetite."
"When I'm hungry, I'll eat by myself."
After she finished speaking, she glanced away again, her resistance obvious.
The servant paused. She knew from the moment she arrived at the villa that if she wanted to stay here, she would have to learn to act deaf and dumb.
She pursed her lips and looked at the girl by the window. She had black hair hanging down her shoulders and her figure was as thin as a piece of paper, which could be broken by a slight pinch.
Even though she sits by the window to bask in the sun every day, her snow-white skin doesn't seem to have changed at all.
From the girl's fingertips upwards, even the exposed neck is pink.
Even the ankles that were tied with iron chains were rubbed slightly red after being covered with a layer of fur.
She was newly transferred in a few days ago. At first, she heard several servants downstairs who were older than her talking about the girl, and their tone was full of contempt and disdain.
She thought this employer would be difficult to get along with, but she didn't expect the girl to have an unexpectedly soft temper.
He just doesn't like to talk much and always sits there in a daze.
"You should eat at least a little. If you get hungry, the food will get cold and won't taste good."
The servant hesitated for a moment, and after much hesitation, he still did not take the plates away. He just looked at the person and advised him not to do anything.
Not only did he skip breakfast, he also skipped lunch. He looked even smaller now as he was already skinny.
Xu Xiaoyue frowned, she turned her head and looked at the man again, "I said I don't want to eat it, just take it away."
This time her tone was clearly a little impatient.
Being locked up here is bad enough, but she doesn't even have the freedom to eat.
She knew that Yan Ye would definitely ask her if she had eaten when he came back. The man's desire for control was terrifying.
Although she was not under that man's nose, her every move was seen by him.
Xu Xiaoyue was deliberately refusing to eat, and she was determined to protest.
I was locked in the room, unable to shout or cry out.
There is not even any way to defend against it.
The only way she could protest was by going on a hunger strike.
Thinking of this, she drooped her eyelids with a hint of self-mockery.
The servant took two steps back. She still did not take the plate away. She just stayed quietly behind the girl and continued to comfort her in a low voice: "When are you hungry?"
"If you're hungry, just tell me anytime and I'll heat it up for you."
She stayed behind the person and watched over him silently after she finished speaking.
Anyone with a discerning eye in the villa could see that the girl had been in a bad state recently.
She was like a porcelain doll, with an indelible sorrow on her face, which seemed to be blown away by the wind as she stood at the window.
Xu Xiaoyue moved her fingertips. With this person standing behind her, she felt like a prisoner under guard.
She was very angry.
When Yan Ye was around, she got used to being stared at.
Now that everyone else has left and she is locked up, she needs someone to keep an eye on her.
Every move I make seems to be under the surveillance of others.
She moved her legs and the bells on her ankles kept ringing. Just hearing the tinkling sound was enough to make people feel upset.
The servants downstairs saw Xiaoxiao staying upstairs for a long time without coming down, and thinking of the man's instructions to them that day, they thought for a moment and went upstairs as well.
Three people were crammed into a small attic.
Even the air became crowded.
If one is not enough, add another one.
Xu Xiaoyue waved her hand, looked at the servant coming from behind, and gave an order in a tone.
"Take the food away. I don't want to eat it."
After she finished speaking, she pressed her temples, her head aching. She suppressed her restlessness and maintained her facial expression.
"It's just been prepared, how can you just say you don't want to eat it..."
"You, this is such a waste."
"Even if you are picky, if it doesn't taste good, you have to eat at least a little bit."
The woman chattered non-stop, stretched out her hand to grab the bowl and chopsticks and took a few steps to the girl, "Here."
"Aunt Cui has been cooking in the kitchen since early morning, so we have to eat something."
Xu Xiaoyue looked up and met those disapproving eyes.
Her accusations were as if she had done something unforgivable.
It's just a meal, she doesn't have the right to decide whether to eat or not, or when to eat.
But if this group of people were really so righteous and enthusiastic, why did they ignore the long, thin chain on her feet?
There was a "crash" sound.
The two servants took two steps back, their shocked eyes falling on the leftover soup on the ground.
No one expected that the seemingly gentle girl would have such explosive power when she got angry.
The servant subconsciously opened her mouth to accuse, but Xiaoxiao quickly pulled her aside.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the girl's mood was extremely unstable.
She was like a taut string that would explode when it reached its limit.
The woman was pulled back. She looked up and glared at Xiao Xiao, then pulled her hand away, her face as dark as ink.
"Eat if you want, or not. If you go hungry for two meals, you'll be quiet!"
After she said this, she turned around and walked downstairs angrily, her slippers clacking on the wood of the stairs.
Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and looked at the girl.
She stood there in a daze, her face looking even paler than usual, staring at the residue on the floor without saying a word.
It was clearly her who lost her temper, but now she is still the one looking pitiful.
Xiaoxiao took the initiative to walk forward, she squatted down, and cleaned the stain on the ground with a handkerchief.
"It's okay, her words were just too harsh."
She comforts people.
