"What a beautiful room is this?"
"Ss… can't you see Young Master is sleeping? Don't disturb him."
"Um, Young Master…"
"Ss…"
"Hm, I… I'm sorry."
"No worries, just remember in the future to never disturb the young master."
"Hm"
"These beds are ours; you can choose among those whichever you want."
"Hm"
"Thud"
"Ss…"
Fuck, you fatty, didn't I tell you to let me sleep peacefully?
"Young Master, I didn't do anything; it was done by this kid.
I looked at the boy. He was wearing cheap clothes, yet neat and clean, looking like some study nerd.
Then I turned my head to the side, and there stood a girl.
Fuck, Hey, beggars are not allowed here.
Her face was pale yellowish, her body too slim, as if suffering from malnutrition, and her eyes were covered in dark circles. Even her clothes were a bit torn.
I looked at her eyes, which were filled with tears.
"Waa… wa…"
Fuck
I looked at the other two, who were staring at me, then I looked at the girl again, who was crying like hell.
Hey, how long are you going to cry for? Fatty, do something.
"Me…"
Silence her before I lose my temper.
"I… I'm… sorry."
She finally stopped crying her eyes red. Looking at her fragile figure, I decided to let her go this time.
After this small incident, everyone settled down. Fatty also told them the rules that they need to follow.
While I used this time to relax a bit.
After some time, the boy left the room. While the girl remained silent, sitting in the corner.
"Young Master, we too should go get our dress coat, or we won't be able to attend classes."
Go get it for me.
I threw my token at him.
"Young Master, you have to go yourself; they won't give me your uniform."
What a hassle.
I decided to get the clothes and also grab a meal for my hungry stomach.
Let's go.
As two of us were about to leave, I looked at the girl who was still shivering at the corner.
"Um…"
You're coming with us.
She stood up, shakingly following behind us.
After walking for a bit, with Fatty's guidance, we arrived at the office where a female and a male teacher were chatting together.
"Sir, we are here for uniform."
Fatty went forward, talking to the man. While I looked at the surroundings, there weren't any other students except us.
These teachers took our tokens after registration, and they gave each of us a pair of dresses.
After this, we walked back. Initially, I was planning to let the girl do that while I went for dinner, but looking at her. I doubt that she will even be able to hold clothes without dying.
I walked in front while Fatty held all the clothes beside me, and the girl followed behind with shaking steps.
We went to our room before going to the cafeteria.
Fuck
When we arrived at the cafeteria, it was filled with students. There were hundreds of students. Most of them were wearing a school uniform.
"Young Master, should we change our dress before coming back?"
Hey, what's the problem with normal clothes? We aren't going to attend classes anyway.
As I walked in, most of the eyes seemed to stare at me. While I looked for an empty table.
That one is perfect.
I looked at Fatty, who was standing there awkwardly, and the girl whose legs seemed about to give up. I decided to give her a helping hand before she embarrassed us all.
I grabbed her hand, dragging her toward the table while throwing our student token to Fatty.
Go get the best meal available here.
I sat in a chair, waiting for the food. And that girl also sitting beside me is still shaking, but much better than before.
As I was waiting, a few kids came to me. They look a bit older, around 7 or 8 years old.
"What's your name, kid. Don't you know the cafeteria rules? This seat is ours."
Fuck, this fatty, how long is he gonna take my stomach? It's aching.
"Hey, are you deaf?"
What… why are you standing here? Fuck off, I'm not looking for new servants.
"You…"
"Young Master, here's your food."
What took you so long? I was about to kick you off. Recruiting new servants. See, I already have new servants here; I won't replace you. But this is your last chance.
"I'm sorry…"
Hmph
"We should leave him alone, that guy who brought food is from the Qian family. If he is serving this guy, then he must be some influential figure."
"Hm"
I gave them a look while they quickly backed off from here.
Well… let's enjoy the food.
I quickly started munching on the food. But paused after a few bites. Why the hell are you drooling at my food? You can eat it, too."
"Really"
What the hell do you take me for? I feed my servants well.
Fatty quickly jumped on the food. While I was starting again, I saw that the girl was still staring at the food, her mouth drooling.
You can eat too.
Looking at her hesitant look, I passed her the rice bowl and chicken.
She also started devouring her meal.
After a while, we stood up, ready to leave. I looked at the girl; her face looked much better than her previous pale, yellowish face, though the dark spot under her eyes still gave her face a horrifying look.
Hm, let's go.
We went back to our dorm, ignoring all the stares.
What a hectic day it was. Now, I even have to attend classes from tomorrow, being lowkey isn't easy.
I sat on my bed with Fatty, and the girl was sitting in front of me. Her eyes were still a bit numb.
Suddenly, the gate opened and a new figure entered.
Looking at the use, he paused a bit before coming inside and gently closing the door.
"I am…"
When did I ask your name?
"I…"
Well, I think Fatty has already told you about my rules, right?
"Hm…"
Both of them nodded quickly.
Good.
Now it's story time before I sleep. Who is going to tell a good story?
Everyone stared at each other before the other two eyes got fixed on the girl.
Ok, you tell me a good story.
"Um… me…"
Why do you have to stammer like that? It's not like I'm asking you to do something absurd; it's just a story.
"Um… this story, my mom used to tell me at night. Will… it do?"
Hm
"In a small village, there used to be a girl who lived with her mother. Though they were poor and didn't have enough food to eat, even when both of them worked at a restaurant. They still can't earn enough to eat their stomach full."
Well… if you don't want, you can end it here.
"I want to tell"
I looked at her, though still hiding tears, but they weren't fear, which I had been seeing till I met her.
'Fuck, here we go into another sad backstory, but what I can do.'
Continue.
"One day, the girl decided to change their future. When she heard a story of Princess Yue ascending the immortal mountain, even when everyone abandoned her."
I know her story; you can continue.
"After hearing the story, the little girl decided that she would also ascend the immortal mountain and live happily with her mother. From then on, she started to study after work. Whenever she got time, she tried to study. Seeing her like that, her… her mom… decided to help..."
Fuck, why are you crying?
I looked at the others, and both have fallen asleep already. While she continued to cry in a low voice.
'Fuck, my luck is really bad."
I stood from my bed, looking at her ugly face, which was covered in tears. I decided to help her out for my peaceful sleep.
I placed my hand gently on her hand. Letting Origin flames gently calm her mind, A warmth spread through her body, her crying stopped as she drifted into dreams.
I covered her in a blanket before going to my bed, claiming my peaceful sleep.
…
"Young Master, wake up, we are getting late for classes."
"Young Master…"
Shut up, you meatball, let me sleep.
"Um…"
"Young Master…"
What didn't I tell you not to disturb my sleep?
"Young master, we're getting late for class."
I opened my eyes and looked at him. He was already wearing a school uniform when I looked at the side, that sick girl also stood there, her eye's dark spot seemed to have vanished, and her skin no longer looked lifeless. Pretty good improvement, I guess.
"Young Master, wear your uniform or we will be late on our first day."
I stood up, wearing my uniform, and getting ready to grab some food.
"Young Master, where are you going?"
Where else, cafeteria, I can't attend classes with a hungry stomach.
"It already closed."
What…
"Don't worry, I saved this meat bread for you."
Good
We walked while I devoured my bread on the way.
