BXBX NOVEL Chapter 19 - Miss Yu Has Changed
"In fact, there are a few things I find weird about Miss Yu recently," Steward Gu said after hesitating for a few seconds. Initially, he did not want to mention it but since Jun Zixuan mentioned it by himself, there was no way he would keep anything a secret.
"Weird?" Jun Zixuan narrowed his eyes ever so slightly. He leaned back on the couch before closing his eyes. Raising his left hand, he gently massaged his forehead, trying to soothe the splitting headache.
"Yes, the day when she woke up from the coma, she acted very strangely. I did not mention it to you because I thought she was just pretending so that she could evade the consequences of her actions. But later, when she asked you for divorce and poured the orange juice on… cough…only then did I realize that she was not pretending that day," Steward Gu felt the temperature drop inside the bedroom.
"Continue," His fingers tapped on the arm of the couch.
…
Yu Mei picked up the glass of orange juice with her left hand while she managed her fruit salad with the other. But her movements were a little stiff. Since she was a lefty originally, her right hand was not that active.
As Han Mei, she had practiced and trained so that she could make both her hands equally efficient. But all her previous efforts were in vain right now.
Maybe it was because of her figure or because of this whole transmigration thing but she found it awkward to use her right hand while writing or eating.
But Yu Mei was originally right-handed and it would arouse doubt if she started using her left hand. So, she decided to train properly.
She looked at the grapes in her fruit bowl. Her brows bumped together as she looked around. "Could you peel these for me?" she asked Steward Gu.
Steward Gu snapped out of his daze. He was still in shock like the rest of the servants in the house. In the last week, she had her meals inside her room and she only came out of the room in the first two days but after that, they never got to saw her until now.
The face which was filled with acne and ugly marks was now free of all blemishes. Her figure hasn\'t changed much as she still had that bulging figure but her skin looked translucent. But with her enormous figure, she looked like a big fat white rice ball.
"Steward Gu?" Yu Mei called out again.
"Ah…Miss Yu?" Steward Gu walked towards the dining table.
"Could you please peel these grapes for me?" She repeated. If she did not finish the fruit bowl, she would be hungry after a few hours again and then her diet routine will go out of the window.
It was beneath his status to do such trivial things but looking at her pleading eyes, Steward Gu could not bring himself to deny. He picked up the gloves from the side before peeling the grapes.
"Thank you," Yu Mei mumbled as her lips slightly curved down, a hint of melancholy appeared in her deep starry eyes.
Whenever she would try to peel a grape, she would end up smashing it. It was Jian Yu who would do such things for her.
Jun Zixuan took a bite of his sandwich as he observed the scene. That sad smile on her face… he has never seen such expressions on her face before.
\'When we mentioned about you, her reaction was blank. There was no adoration in her eyes like always. She did not recognize me at first and she was hyper when we addressed her as Miss Yu. She….She even asked about someone named Jian Yu. She was so desperate. She passed out after seeing her face in the mirror. After that night, she was normal but a few things have changed like her eating and sleeping habits. And… she is always trying to draw a line between you both. Miss Yu has changed in many ways.\'
Steward Gu\'s words rang in his mind. In his drunken stupor, he barged inside her room to chastise her but he did not expect to pass out there.
He did not forget the events that transpired yesterday. He remembered her face was not like how it is right now but since his memories were blurry, he couldn\'t be sure.
As Yu Mei ate her peeled grapes, she felt a piercing gaze on her. She tilted her head, "Looking at me like that, have you fallen in love with me or you are in the middle of the process?" She stuffed pressed the fork down before stuffing three grapes in her mouth at once.
Steward Gu nearly choked on his saliva. Miss Yu, you are daring. He quickly retreated a few steps back.
There were no other servants nearby or else they would have taken their hats off to the woman\'s bravery.
Jun Zixuan appeared unaffected by her statement. He picked up a napkin before wiping his mouth and then he looked at her, "Delusions are good," He took a pause before adding, "Until they take you to hospital."
"Cough…Cough…" She choked her grapes, the dark-colored juice splattered out of her mouth staining her pale skin before dripping down towards her white chiffon dress.
She picked up a napkin before wiping herself properly. She patted her chest to calm her rapid heartbeat before looking at the man.
"You are mean," she muttered before picking up a glass of water.
But he nonchalantly glanced at her, looking completely unbothered by her messy condition, "Jian Yu…" He muttered.
\'Bang.\'
The glass in her hand fell on the floor along with the sound of the clattering of cutleries as she stood up from her seat. The chair fell back with a loud sound.
Steward Gu closed his eyes thinking of the disaster that must be on its way. Why would you show such a big reaction after hearing another man\'s name unless he is special to you? They knew all about Yu\'s Family and her friends but there was no such person as Jian Yu. Miss Yu, do you know the consequences of making our Master wear a green hat?
