23. Just a Maid

Translator: Shirley-Zou

Wealth or poverty! Noble or humble! Grief or joy! Princess or Cinderella!

What she really wanted was the tranquility left by the birds flying through the sky outside the window!

Huo Xiu ran up to the third floor at one go. She couldn’t stop gasping while standing by the window. When she looked down, she saw Huo Yijun heading north. All girls passing by him would shout and wrangle loudly. It turned out he was so popular. She raised the hand he had held and could still feel his warmth!

She was so impolite. He had helped her, so she should thank him! However, not only did she not thank him, but she ran away like this. She heaved a sigh and said to herself that she didn’t mean to keep her distance, and it was because she had promised Uncle that she would never approach him anymore!

She had been insisting on it for three years, but it seemed everything was about to change now!

“He is very handsome, isn’t he?”

Huo Xiu suddenly tilted her head when she heard the sudden sound!

Huo Xue stood beside her and said with a meaningful tone, her eyes following Huo Yijun until he disappeared!

“Ah??” Huo Xiu looked at her in astonishment. She thought for a moment and nodded in a careless way, “Uh…”

Huo Xue turned her gaze to her, which was like a poisonous arrow, “Do you like him?”

“I…” She didn’t know whether she liked or disliked him. Actually, she didn’t have any other thoughts about him. In her heart, she regarded him as a big brother all the time!

Couldn’t she answer? That was because she liked him. She already knew it. Huo Xue sneered and said, “Huo Xiu, don’t even think about it. Do you think he sent you here because he liked you? You are wrong! It was because I was unwilling, so he had to reluctantly send you off. Because Brother Yijun was so kind!”

She suppressed her anger. In fact, she was not confident, because Huo Yijun had never held girls’ hands!

And Huo Xiu was the first! !

“Xue, I have never dreamed of it. Never!” Huo Xiu said in a faint voice and she suddenly became sad. What Xue had said reminded her of the painful memory in her heart. What made her painful were not his words but the expression in his eyes, which was so cold that could almost freeze all her dreams!

“That’s good!” Huo Xue heaved a sigh of relief. But then she felt funny after thinking about it. Well, why would she be afraid that such a hideous girl would win the favour of Brother Yijun?

Huo Xue didn’t call to mind that she was standing with Huo Xiu until she saw someone pointing fingers at them. Damn it! “When we get into the class, if others ask about the relationship between us, you’d better say you are just our maid. Do you understand?” She roared angrily in a low voice. She was so angry!

Huo Xue walked into the classroom with pride, and soon some classmates came to ask something about the relationship between her and Huo Xiu or Huo Yijun.

“Well, she’s a servant of my family. My uncle has always been very generous, while Brother Yijun has always been kind and never despises servants. We should be good to servants, right?” Huo Xue said with a smile.

“Princess Xue was right. When I return home today, I will reward the leftover meal to my servant, A Hua, and improve their food at the same time.”

Everybody burst into laughter, as if it was an interesting thing. It might be their pleasure to trample on others’ dignity!

Huo Xiu sat beside the window and didn’t refute her. It would be okay for her to be a servant or the daughter of a noble family because she didn’t care about it!

Since then, Huo Xiu had been regarded as a servant in this school!
