Daisy fed me a bowl of hot rice porridge. As the porridge entered my stomach, I could feel the warmth spread through my body. I could not help but feel invigorated.
Banxia sat pitifully on the chair in front of the bed and watched Daisy feed me. I knew she wanted to help, but she didn’t dare to interrupt Daisy.
After feeding me the bowl of porridge, Daisy left with satisfaction. Her goal was to fatten me.
Banxia looked at me with an aggrieved expression.
“What’s wrong?”I asked her.
Banxia pursed her lips. “Miss, do you not like Banxia anymore?”
I looked at her curiously. “Did you have a nightmare? Did I abandon you, throw you into the sea, or sell you to someone else?”
Banxia’s face turned bitter. “Miss, even in your dreams, you’ve abandoned me!” She covered her face and fake-cried.
I thought for a moment. “Now that I think about. Perhaps the best way to abandon you is to marry you off to someone. But it’ll depend on my mood who you’d marry.”
She stopped crying and raised her head to look at me. “Miss, you’re serious?”
I looked at her. “What do you think?”
She shook my hand with a sad face. “Miss, you saved my life! I’ll follow you forever. You can’t abandon me! If I leave your side, I’ll die. You can’t let your pet die off like that!”
I was amused. “My pet? Is that how you define yourself?”
She tilted her head and said seriously, “Of course, I am Miss’s pet! Tell me who you don’t like! I’ll go bite him!” She revealed a fierce expression and bared her fangs.
I laughed.
She sighed. “Miss, you’re finally laughing. I don’t feel so useless anymore.”
I was surprised. “It sounds like Banxia is jealous. But why?”
Banxia pouted. “On Sir’s island, there were only the two of us. I took care of Miss’ daily life. But here, a whole group of people surrounds Miss, and everyone is more capable than me. I feel so useless because I can’t help at all.”
I looked at Banxia’s apple-shaped face and smiled. “You really missed the life on uncle’s island that much? Life was so good back then?”
She shook her head. “That’s not true either. At least there’s no Mrs. Ma Ji here. Everyone is very friendly and no one orders me around. They only want me to accompany you. However, you don’t even need me to accompany you anymore now that you have Lu Heng. Sigh, I’m really useless!”
I pinched her face. “When did you learn to complain like that? You are making me sound like such a cruel person!”
She was a little embarrassed.
I looked outside the door and lowered my voice. “I left you at home so that you could familiarize yourself with the situation here. Instead, you wasted all your time to think about these useless things?”
Banxia immediately smiled obsequiously. “Miss, of course, I have done a little digging. I was only acting earlier.”
She quietly ran to the door, opened the door, looked outside, and quickly returned to my bedside, she said briskly, “Miss, you lived here when you were young. This is your real home. Miss, you have such a happy childhood.. You have such a big house and so many years. Miss, you’re practically a princess!”
