Chapter 501: Banxia
Translator: Lonelytree
“Miss, the wind is strong. Let’s go back.” Banxia, who was standing behind me, gently put a coat over my shoulder.
I watched the sunlight jump on the surface of the sea as if it was making its final struggle. In the next moment, the rays appeared to be tired and plunged into the sea. The sea swallowed its golden light and rippled with satisfaction like a giant glutton.
I sighed lightly. It was the same every day.
I put on the sleeves and stretched. “Is there anything good to eat today?”
Banxia pursed her lips and smiled. “Don’t worry. It’s all Miss’s favorite. The chef changed again yesterday. I heard from Uncle Lin that he could even cook the Man-Han banquet. I’m sure you’ll be satisfied.”
I was tired. “I don’t have any appetite.”
Banxia hurriedly said, “Miss, please take a look first. Perhaps your appetite will return when you take a look at them? Plus, you have to tell them what you don’t like so that they can improve next time. Miss, give them a few chances. They’ll definitely surprise us in the future.”
As I walked, I gave her a side glance. “Are you afraid that they will all be fired? You’re being too kind!”
Banxia smiled apologetically. “They are only here trying to find a job. Please don’t make things difficult for them.”
I didn’t say anything. Banxia was very happy because I had relented. I was just lazy. I didn’t want to deal with anything anymore.
“Ask them what food can improve my brain activity and memory. I’ll eat them as medicine.” I told Banxia as I walked lazily.
Banxia immediately perked up. “Don’t worry, Miss. The housekeeper knows that. The kitchen has been preparing all sorts of brain-stimulating dishes for you every day.”
I looked at the huge mansion in front of me. It was like a monster crouching under the sunset. I was in a bad mood. “Banxia, can you get me a doctor to crack open my head and fix what’s broken? I don’t want to eat those disgusting things anymore. Even after all those meals, I still can’t remember a single thing.”
Banxia’s smile disappeared, “Miss, you shouldn’t say things like that. I’m sure everything will be fine.”
I didn’t say anything.
Banxia carefully looked at my expression. “So what if Miss can’t remember the past. Why must you remember it? I think it’s good that you can’t remember it. If I could forget the days when I was beaten and scolded, I’d be so happy.”
I turned my head to look at Banxia.
Banxia was an orphan. When I picked her up, she was beaten until she was on the verge of death. I treated her back to life and gave her the name Banxia.
My name was Nanxing, and her name was Banxia.
After some healing, Banxia turned out to be a pretty little girl, so I left her by my side to accompany me.
I didn’t talk much, but she talked a lot.
She often said childish things to make me happy. I liked her very much.
She was also my best listener. She listened to my thoughts, and she would often give her opinions too. I felt comforted around her.
“Banxia, if you lost something very important, would you want to get it back?” I asked her.
Her eyes blinked, and she was hesitant.
“For example, your salary last month and your wallet were stolen.. Would you want to get it back?” I asked her patiently.
