Jingyuan Villa.
After dinner, Su Xi was brought to her room by Uncle Fu.
The moment the door was opened, more than twenty pairs of eyes made Su Xi tremble with fright.
After taking a closer look, Su Xi realized that there were dolls and stuff toys everywhere in the room. It was dark inside and the light from the hallway fell on the eyes of the dolls, making it look really eerie.
“This is Young Miss’s room.” Uncle Fu said from behind Su Xi.
Su Xi: “……” Can she refuse?
No wonder Su Jingcheng was said to be a twisted villain, any room there could be so terrifying.
Seeing Su Xi standing at the door and refusing to go in with her delicate brows furrowed, Uncle Fu thought Su Xi was shy, so he said, “This room is specially prepared for Young Miss, you don’t have to be restrained.”
“Is there anything else missing in the room? I’ll arrange for people to prepare immediately.”
Su Xi: That’s not it.
“Can I get another room?”
A normal one.
Su Xi added silently in her mind.
Hearing this, Uncle Fu was stunned. “Young Miss doesn’t like this room?”
Su Xi nodded imperceptibly—— If she sleeps in this room, she’s afraid that she would have nightmares.
———
Seeing Su Xi’s genuine resistance, Uncle Fu mused about it. He had no choice but to take Su Xi to the best guest room in the villa first.
In the guest room, after Uncle Fu had left, Su Xi sat on the edge of the bed in a daze. Everything that happened from morning to evening was too fantastical for Su Xi. So much so that she was still a little disoriented and unable to regain her senses.
Furthermore, that novel……
Thinking of the novel, Su Xi gave a start. She hurriedly fished her phone out of her pocket.
This mobile phone was used by her master to contact clients before. It was a counterfeit smartphone of unknown brand.
When her master wasn’t using it, Su Xi would also occasionally use this phone to browse Weibo, forums, read novels, watch short videos and so on.
Su Xi opened the app where she read the novel yesterday and wanted to take a look at it again.
As a result, the novel seemed to have vanished. No matter how Su Xi looked for it, she couldn’t find it—— The first thing Su Xi did was click into the default bookshelf. It wasn’t there. Next, she opened last night’s browsing history. All the pages Su Xi have browsed yesterday were recorded except for that novel.
Su Xi directly searched for the novel’s title 《As Long as Baby Don’t Want a Daddy》 on the Internet, but found 0 results. Su Xi even searched for the tagline of that Mary Sue ad, but the result was still 0.
She just finished reading that novel last night so Su Xi could still clearly remember the plot, but unfortunately, that novel seems to have vanished into thin air without leaving any trace of its existence.
Unreconciled, Su Xi searched for a long time once more, but still found nothing.
———
On the other side, as soon as Uncle Fu had settled Su Xi in, he received a call from Su Jingcheng.
On the phone, Su Jingcheng was obviously very excited. However, he still asked Uncle Fu in the calmest tone he could muster up, “Is everything all right at home?”
“Don’t worry, Young Master, everything here is fine.” A smile could be hinted from Uncle Fu’s voice.
Su Jingcheng: “En, that’s good.”
“Cough……”
“Young Master wants to ask how Young Miss is doing, right?” Uncle Fu pointed out Su Jingcheng’s little thought.
“En, how did it go?” Su Jingcheng responded reservedly, but it’s hard to conceal the excitement and concern in his voice.
“Pretty well.” Uncle Fu smiled and added, “Yan Su and his team sent the young miss home at five or six in the afternoon. She’s been quiet and well behaved, she just didn’t talk much.”
Hearing this, Su Jingcheng’s brows suddenly furrowed. “Did it scare her? She—” Was she frightened? Did she cry?
Uncle Fu: “No, no, it’s probably because she just arrived in a new environment. The young miss is still a little reserve, but everything else is fine. She’s had a good dinner. That’s right, the young miss’s taste is exactly the same as when she was a child. She still likes sweet and sour food. It hasn’t changed at all.”
“Young Miss’s appearance is also the same. She’s both beautiful and smart. However, when she was little, she looked like Sir, but now that she’s bigger and her features developed, she looks a bit more like Madam……” Uncle Fu told Su Jingcheng about Su Xi.
Su Jingcheng also sketched the appearance of his younger sister in his mind. Similar to their mother was just right.
Not long after his younger sister was born, he said that she looked like their mother. It was their father who would say to everyone he sees, “My daughter looks like me” and something about their noses and hairs looking alike……
“Is there a picture?”
The appearance of Su Jingcheng’s younger sister when she was three or four years old still lingers in his mind. She looks like a fragrant and soft little bun back then. And now, ten years have passed. His sister should have grown a lot taller. He wanted to see what she looks like now, she must be as beautiful as he imagined.
“Look at my memory, I can’t believe I forgot to take one.” Uncle Fu said rather embarrassed.
In fact, Uncle Fu didn’t dare let Su Jingcheng see Su Xi’s current appearance—— The young miss’s malnourished appearance made him feel distressed, and if the young master saw her, he might feel even worse.
Uncle Fu had already made up his mind to take care of her before the young master returns.
“The young miss is already asleep now, so we probably have to wait until tomorrow to take a picture.”
“En.” Su Jingcheng gave a seemingly indifferent response.
Uncle Fu reported a few more things to Su Jingcheng about the recent events at home and the two were about to end the call.
Before hanging up, however, Su Jingcheng suddenly left a sentence, “Remember to take pictures.”
Uncle Fu: “……” This delaying strategy doesn’t seem to be very effective.
———
Su Xi didn’t know when she fell asleep last night. When she opened her eyes again, it was exactly 5 o’clock in the morning.
Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Su Xi froze for several seconds before remembering that she had already been taken to the villain’s villa.
At present, other people in the villa weren’t up yet, so Su Xi felt her way out the house and found an open space to start exercising as usual.
She inexplicably came here yesterday so Su Xi didn’t have time to look carefully, but now at dawn, the villa where the villain lives was really big and everything was well arranged. It’s just that after learning that this was the residence of the big villain, Su Xi felt that this villa was gloomy no matter how she looks at it.
Su Xi practiced a set of health-preserving exercise in the big garden. This was also taught to her by her master. He said that practicing this could strengthen the body and prolong life. Su Xi doesn’t believe it at all, but after doing it for so many years, it had become a habit.
At 7 o’clock, she had finished the whole set.
When Su Xi returned inside the house, she saw Uncle Fu who was in a hurry to check the surveillance because he couldn’t find her.
“Uncle Fu?”
“Young Miss, where did you go? You’ve finally come back.” Seeing that Su Xi was doing all right, Uncle Fu heaved a sigh of relief.
“I just went to the garden by the entrance to do some exercise. I didn’t go far.” Looking at the worried old man, Su Xi suddenly felt a bit apologetic. “That-, I’m sorry……”
“It’s fine, it’s fine.” Uncle Fu wasn’t angry.
It’s good that she’s still here. He didn’t see Su Xi this morning and was worried that the child had snuck away because she didn’t like it there.
“Young Miss, if you want to exercise, you can do it anywhere. There’s also a gym and a court behind. If you need anything, you can tell anyone and let them prepare it for you.” But was it really okay for the young miss to exercise with her small body? What if she stumbles?
Uncle Fu looked at Su Xi worriedly and noticed the clothes she’s wearing. It was the same outfit as yesterday—— A cartoon T-shirt that had been washed so many times that the printed bear was almost impossible to make out, and a pair of overly baggy pants that make her look even thinner.
Only then did Uncle Fu remember that he hadn’t prepared new clothes for Su Xi yet.
Uncle Fu’s efficiency was very high. Before the afternoon, someone delivered dozens of clothes for Su Xi.
It’s just……
Looking at all kinds of gorgeous, pink and puffy dresses in front of her, the corners of Su Xi’s mouth twitched slightly. These clothes were quite pretty if one simply considered them as crafts, but wearing them on a regular basis……
Fortunately, there were a few everyday clothes mixed in with these dresses, including a beige teen dress, a casual plaid shirt dress, and a very normal tracksuit.
Su Xi picked out the shirt dress and change into it.
Sure enough, people rely on their clothes. After changing into clothes that fit her, Su Xi felt like her whole person had brightened up.
As they watched Su Xi come downstairs, Uncle Fu and a few of the household servants beamed. “Young Miss is so pretty.”
Su Xi was a little embarrassed by the compliments from the people on the side.
“Please just call me by my name.” It felt odd to be called young miss.
Hearing this, Uncle Fu smiled as he looked at Su Xi’s uncomfortable expression, and did not force the issue. “All right, then I’ll just call the young miss ‘Xiao Xi’.”
Su Xi nodded.
Uncle Fu: “Has Xiao Xi tried on the other clothes?”
Su Xi: “……”
Noticing the expectant look on Uncle Fu’s eyes, Su Xi suddenly sweated. Could it be that those puffy dresses were personally chosen by Uncle Fu?
Looking at the kind-hearted old man in front of him, and thinking about those extremely girly clothes, Su Xi became very skeptical of Uncle Fu’s aesthetics.
Su Xi had wronged Uncle Fu.
The outfit she was wearing now, plus the other two upstairs, a total of three clothes that look wearable for everyday life was what Uncle Fu prepared. As for the other ones……
Uncle Fu: It has nothing to do with me ah.
