Chapter 35: Maid, Meimei (1/2)

TL: flarewk

31st of March, morning.

I woke up and gave the blanket to the curled-up meimei lying beside me, and afterwards got up from bed to go wash myself up. Although Xin Ran was sleeping in my room yesterday night, she didn't touch me at all, probably as she was concerned about my wound.

Although I'm quite happy that she was so caring onto me, but in reality, my wound wasn't that serious too............

I couldn't recall clearly on how I had managed to reach the hospital, but in any case, I'm already lying on the hospital bed when I woke up, with Ke Ling crying to a mess and Laomā plus Xin Ran also worriedly looking at me. Not only had they fed me lunch, they even wanted to follow me as well when I needed to go to the toilet.

Please! I'm also not a handicapped person! Must it be till this way?

It's really making a mountain out of a molehill...........

Also, the most baffling thing I heard from Laomā was, that from the first day that I'm in hospital, Ji Lian Bing also stayed inside the ward for the entire day throughout. Laomā also said that she's a good girl that knew how to take care of people, and asked me to properly take care of her and so on, which only made me wanting to frown my eyebrows.

Plus, that person even came on the second day, and the third day too..........up till yesterday, she basically would come every afternoon and stay for a few hours.

It's so mystifying.

To be frank, I thought that she would seize this chance to get rid of me.

Even though at that time when she could just ignore my dying state, she would then according to her wishes, obtain a fresh corpse that died due to an overloss of blood.

But in the end, she actually chose a 'save me' option that I thought it most impossible to happen.

Then again, I also had a rough guesstimate onto this point as well.

I guess that she's probably thinking onto wanting to 'personally' kill me.

Not lending any sort of external factors, and only depending on her own abilities to get rid of me.

Being able to conjecture this out, was primarily based on those words she had said to me. She said that she hadn't killed people yet, and wanted to give her 'virgin kill' to me, and those statements shouldn't be false.

Thinking back to the very beginning, before I was able to see Ji Lian Bing's title, I completely didn't know that she was a homicidal maniac. Not only me too, others also didn't realize about Ji Lian Bing's abnormality.

At that time, I just only felt that she could actually disguise it to be extremely well; a serial killer lurking amongst our midst, and yet we were still like naive rabbits waiting for its' execution, being completely in the unknown about it.

But thinking back to it right now, it's because she indeed hadn't killed anyone yet, hence there's essentially no such evidence of it being left behind at all.

Also was her pride that wouldn't allow her to do stuff that were extremely advantageous to her as well, if not she wouldn't proactively request out that condition of me being her boyfriend at all.

A pity was that it's not much of a danging deal when she forked over her virginity kill, but if I was to give up my virginity death then I'm completely unsavable already. As reality wasn't like the game world at all, if a person dies then he'll be really dead, there's fundamentally no choice for him to be revived at all.

As for the reason for why I'm injured, of course I couldn't say that it's being due to deceased dead's assaults, but luckily Ji Lian Bing already helped me to fabricate out an excuse beforehand, saying that she had almost tripped from the stairs but was being protected by me instead.

I guess only Laobà would know about this lie, because those wounds doesn't looked to be 'trip injuries' at all.

Speaking of which, Laobà too really, he actually wanted me to stay in the hospital for a week to recuperate, but I felt that there's basically no such need for that...........I should say that there shouldn't even be a need for me to stay in the hospital at all.

In the end, it's only that wound at my abdomen that's slightly more serious, it being given roughly 5 to 6 stitches, and as for other wounds on me, they weren't even worth mentioning at all.

Hence during yesterday afternoon, I secretly completed the hospital discharging arrangements and went on home.

While using warm water to rinse my face, I felt a sharp pain on my cheeks, as those minuscule wounds emanated out needle-like achings.

After finishing rinsing my face, I used a wet towel to wipe off those water droplets, and took out plasters that I've long prepared and pasted it on the left of my cheeks and forehead.

Although it may seem a little ugly, but it's way better than being bandaged up, as bandages gave me a rather...........Mm, sort of chuunibyou feeling.

Finishing my washing up, I put on clear lenses glasses thereafter, and for the sake of making breakfast and lunchboxes, I proceeded to the first floor like usual.

But when I wanted to enter into the kitchen, I actually realized that there's already someone over there.

However, it's not a family member, but a figure that I've never seen before instead. What's baffling was that, that figure blended with my house's kitchen table area very harmoniously, just like as if she had long been used to be making meals there, saturated full of an experienced atmosphere.

The most crucial point was that outfit...........no matter how I looked at it...........it's a maid outfit...........

The maid outfit which had black and white intersecting with each other under her accompaniment seemed to have become alive, with layers and layers of black and white laces, dignified yet not losing elegance out.

Although I had only seen her 2 or 3 times before, but this person should be Xue Li-xiaojie, I think.

I tentatively took off my spectacles to glance at the other party's status, it's indeed Xue Li-xiaojie.

But why would Xue Li-xiaojie be in my house? Wasn't she Ji Lian Bing's maid? It can't be that she once again sneaked into my house, right? Sneaking into our house just to prepare breakfast for us? What the heck's it for?

”Uuu..........”

I who had my mind filled with questions, accidentally gave off a voice.

After Xue Li-xiaojie had heard onto my voice, she turned around, gave off a slight smile, placed both hands in front of her body, and respectfully gave me a bow.

”Jun Cheng-shàoye, good morning.”

”Ohh, good morning..........”

The question that I originally wanted to ask had entirely vanished under this bout of impactful greeting.

This is a maid~! Being able to see a maid early in the morning, it's exactly a dreamlike scene!

”May I ask whether if you would like to have chinese or western for breakfast?”

(TL: her tone was using 您, which is a very formal ”you”)

”Err, I'll just have porridge in the morning...........”

”Alright, understood. Please wait for a short moment, I'll immediately finish up making breakfast.”

I dazedly nodded, and sat onto the chair, with my head hinged sideways looking at the kitchen-busying Xue Li-xiaojie, with a kind of weird sensation filling up my heart.

How long was it been that I was sitting like that by the dining table, watching others preparing breakfast, huh...........

Seeing the figure of a maid outfit, there's some kind of rash urge onto just wanting to go and hug her from behind...........

No wait, right now wasn't the time to feel reminiscent nor to be indulging into maids! Ultimately, why would Xue Li-xiaojie be in my house!

”Um, Xue Li-xiaojie, how did you enter my house...........”

(TL: MC also used a polite form of ”you” here)

”Rest easy, I didn't sneak into here. It's during last night when Jun Cheng-shàoye had fallen asleep, that I knocked on the door here paying a visit. Homeowner-dàren had already permissioned me to stay here, and had already given me the house's key.”

”Err, the homeowner was referring to my Laobà?”

”That's correct, Jun Cheng-shàoye's Father-dàren had returned home last night at around 11 pm, and had set off not too long ago when you had woken up after having breakfast.”

Wah, still as late as usual again...........but being able to return home alone wasn't a very simple task already.

Recently, Laobà was the same as Laomā, being busy to the point where they were frenziedly hectic, with the majority of his time being spent in the hospital. If it's the past, although Laobà would be busy, he would still at the very latest return home by 7 pm at night, unlike now when I couldn't even see the shadow of him around.
