Yue Xin turned around and continued to say in an emotionless voice, “Didn’t you also ask the children on the first floor to come here to use the toilet?”
Maya didn’t expect her to compare the two things. She realized that she couldn’t keep up with Yue Xin’s train of thought. “How can these two things be the same…”
Yue Xin said, “Didn’t you say that it’s not easy for the people in Building No. 1 to help if they can?”
While Maya was talking to Yue Xin, the sound of footsteps and gunshots came from outside the door.
At that time, Yue Xin only asked No. 12 to come over, but it seemed that he didn’t come alone.
Maya looked at the closed door and suddenly stood up. She told Yue Xin, “Next time, don’t open the door for anyone. Although I said I would help if I could, you have to be careful if your life is in danger.” She walked to the door and put her hand on the lock. “Good night. Sweet dreams.” She turned off the light for Yue Xin, opened the door, and left.
The door closed again, and the faint smell of blood that Maya brought in still lingered in the room. But for some reason, Yue Xin slept well because of this smell.
The next day, No. 12 came to deliver breakfast to Yue Xin and reported the situation last night.
“This criminal took three days to sneak in and attack. He did leave a wound on Maya’s body. If Maya hadn’t sensed an unfamiliar aura in the room when she returned, that criminal might have successfully obtained the bounty by now.”
After No. 12 finished his report, he couldn’t help but emphasize, “This assassination is only targeted at Maya.” What he meant was, “They didn’t target you. Why are you torturing me?”
Yue Xin took a bite of the fried dough stick and swallowed it slowly. She said calmly, “That person was loitering at the door of my room. I thought he was here to kill me. I was afraid.’
Although she said that she was afraid, No. 12 did not notice any signs of fear from Yue Xin.
After breakfast, No. 12 cleaned up the trash and saw the blood in Yue Xin’s room. “Do you need someone to deal with this?”
Yue Xin looked at it and shook her head. “No need. Leave it there first.
No. 12 replied, “Okay.”
For a period of time, Yue Xin’s life was no different from before. Half a month later, Maya fulfilled her promise and brought the milk tea specially made for Yue Xin. This time, Maya no longer felt distant from Yue Xin like before. She seemed to be even more casual. She brought a pot of milk tea and a cup. She stood at Yue Xin’s door and shouted, “Little Xinxin, I’m here!”
Yue Xin looked over and nodded.
Maya stepped unceremoniously into the house in her flip-flops.
Yue Xin was sitting on the bed in a daze. Maya seemed to be used to her being like this. She walked over and poured a cup of milk tea for Yue Xin. She stared at Yue Xin and said, “For you. I’m here to repay your kindness!” This time, she didn’t take a sip first.
Yue Xin took the milk tea and took a sip. Then, she frowned.
Maya’s heart skipped a beat. She carefully asked, “What’s wrong?” Her royal milk tea technique should be fine.
Yue Xin frowned and said indifferently, “It’s hot.”
Maya heaved a sigh of relief and took the cup back from Yue Xin. She stirred it with a spoon for a while before handing it back to her.
This time, Yue Xin didn’t say anything else and quietly finished her cup of milk tea.
Maya realized that none of Yue Xin’s actions seemed to reveal anger. She was like a puppet on a string, hanging by a thread. She was just alive.
“Was there anything you liked among the dishes I ordered for you last time?” Maya asked.
Yue Xin had already finished a cup of milk tea and there was still some foam on her lips. When she heard Maya’s words, she raised her head and stared at Maya without saying a word.
Maya chuckled and reached out to wipe the milk from Yue Xin’s mouth. “Don’t worry. I won’t poison you. That won’t do me any good. I like crepe. Do you want to try it tonight? I’ll help you test the poison.”
Yue Xin sat on the bed and looked at the empty milk teacup in her hand, not regaining her senses for a long time.
Maya didn’t rush her. She just sat quietly on the edge of the bed.
After some time, Yue Xin finally said, “Okay.”
Maya’s smile became lively again. She coaxed Yue Xin, “Is there anything else you want to do?”
Yue Xin didn’t hesitate at all this time. “No.”
Maya was not surprised. She extended an invitation. “I’m going to the gym now. If you don’t have anything else to do, do you want to come with me to take a look? If there’s anything you’re interested in, I can teach you. You can use it to defend yourself in the future.”
Maya reached out her slender arm to Yue Xin. Yue Xin didn’t know what she did, but her originally thin and soft arm suddenly bulged with strong muscles.
Yue Xin reached out and poked it. These muscles were real..
