The servant's face slightly calmed as Ye Hua apologized.
"Young Master, you've always referred to me as ⁴Xiǎo Měi, but my name is ⁴Měi Lián."
It seems like I have some kind of relationship with her.
"Am I close to you? "
"I serve you as one of your personal maids, young master."
Ah, so that's how it is. My personal maid, huh?
"I haven't done anything that is improper toward you or anything? Right? "
"Young Master, you have always been kind towards us serving him."
Thank god the person I am now isn't some kind of bastard who harasses those who are lower than him.
"I see, thank you for taking care of me."
"It is only right for a servant to take care of you, Young Master. You were always kind to us; we are grateful to serve you."
This is… I still can't get used to this kind of treatment. I feel like I'm some kind of rich jackass.
"Them… I'll take my leave now."
Ye Hua excused himself and went back inside the room. After locking the door, he finally took a good look at the place. He roamed around for a while, looking for whatever things, a diary or anything of the sort. To his displeasure, he could not find anything. After scouring the room, he finally gave up and went to sleep.
______________________________________________________________________________
The following day, the sun had finally risen; however, Ye Hua was still in deep sleep. He was tired from the events of yesterday, not to mention he was still recovering his injuries. Meanwhile, Xiao Mei was outside Ye Hua's door; she knocked and went inside. Seeing her Young Master still asleep, she left, letting him sleep for a while longer.
After an hour or two, Xiao Mei went back to Ye Hua's room to wake him up; coincidentally, Ye Hua had already woken up. She was surprised to see her young master getting out of bed by himself.
"Young Master, you're awake? "
"Yes. Is it that surprising? "
She could not hide her expressions; Ye Hua couldn't help but let out a small laugh.
Was this guy that lazy? She seems to be in quite the shock.
"Ah, it's just that you usually wait for me to wake you up, Young Master."
"I do? "
"Yes."
Not like I know anything about this guy. They probably already know that I lost my memories, right? Thank God they think that.
"I see, I guess I don't remember."
"It's only natural, Young Master; you should take your time recovering. We are all here for you."
How supportive of her. I'm jealous. To think he has his whole family supporting him. Makes me think the life I lived back then is lonely. Was I lonely? I never thought about it. Haa… I should stop thinking about it.
"Young Master, your clothes and bath are ready for you."
"I see, thank you."
After a while, Ye Hua had finished washing up and changing with the help of Xiao Mei. She then left to get him his breakfast.
I still can't get used to someone taking care of me like this. Is this what rich people feel with their butlers and shit? It feels uncomfortable for someone to bathe and clothe me when I can do it myself.
Eventually, Xiao Mei arrived with a tray filled with dishes; she had other servants following behind her with a few more plates and tea. Ye Hua watched as they placed everything on the table that they had set up for him.
Holy shit? This is breakfast? Isn't this a bit too much? I'm only one person?
"Ahem… Isn't this a bit much? I don't think I can eat all of this."
"Young Master, you need to eat a lot for you to recover."
"You brought a lot of meat… I think I'll get fat if I need those."
I'll definitely get diabetes or whatever health issue the food brings. It's all oily and fat! Who the hell feeds this to a sick person?
"Young Master, you used to like these? "
I did? What kind of life has Ye Hua been living?
"Please bring me some vegetables and soup."
Xiao Mei looked confused but did not disobey; she nodded, excusing herself with the other servants. Later on, they brought new dishes this time, with a more balanced tray of food. Ye Hua looked at the newly arrived dishes and let out a satisfied hum and started eating. As he ate, he felt the servants staring at him.
"Hm. Is something wrong? "
They let out an awkward cough and looked away from him; however, Xiao Mei spoke and answered.
"You simply looked like you were enjoying the food, Young Master."
Of course I am. I've never tasted something so exquisite.
"Do I not enjoy the food? "
"Young Master used to be… picky about his food. You used to complain a lot."
"Ah."
So… I am someone spoiled. Well, who wouldn't if I were this rich?
"So, was I someone who's got a bad personality or someone close to that? "
"My goodness no! Young Master, you are one of the kindest people I know. You only—well, you only seem to criticize a lot when it comes to food."
Well, I'll take it, I guess.
…
After a while Ye Hua had finally finished eating; the servants tidied up the plates and left him alone in his room for a while. Only Xiao Mei remained by his side, as she was his personal maid. Ye Hua sat for a while in his chair, staring at the wall without thinking about anything. He was dazed.
I'm so full… I felt like they'd eat me alive if I didn't finish everything they brought. Fuck their staring.
The room felt awkward—no, it was awkward. Ye Hua had not spoken since he finished eating, only staring at the empty wall with a dazed look. Xiao Mei had not spoken at all either; she was just beside him.
The silence was broken as Xiao Mei could not take the awkwardness in the air; she looked at her young master for a short while. She had a concerned look on her face, though Ye Hua did not pay attention. She cleared her throat, causing Ye Hua to look at her.
"What?"
