Rebirth: Once Again With You

"What takes you so long to deliver some food? Do you want to starve me to death?!"

Li Caiyi blinked her eyes a few times, staring at the small boy who was currently glaring at her. He wore a white shirt and pants, looking like an intelligent boy.

'But wait, didn't he say that he had been waiting for his food to come? Then this kid is the Young Master?!"

"Are you mute? Why don't you say anything?" Ye Zhong folded his hand in dissatisfaction. "Why did Grandpa hire someone as slow as you? You look like an idiot."

Li Caiyi's brows twitched a bit at his arrogant attitude but convinced herself not to argue back against children. Especially a pampered young master like this kid.

"Young Master, I'm sorry for taking too much time. I'm new here, so I still haven't memorized the way yet."

Ye Zhong snorted and sat on the available couch in the middle of the room. Looking at it again, this room looked like a game room or something? There were various game machines in the room. There was a billiard table too.

"I will excuse your mistake just this one time. Now, bring me the food. I'm hungry."

Li Caiyi quickly put the tray on the table and let Ye Zhong take a sip of the soup first. However, the kid promptly frowned before throwing the bowl aside, splashing the content all over the floor.

"Look at what you have done! Because you are so slow, my food has become cold now! You can't even do one thing, right? What's the use of you?!"

Li Caiyi stared at the mess on the floor with widened eyes, seemingly not believing what she had just seen. Did she just get scolded by a mere kid? Pampered or not, that was no way to talk to someone older than him.

Whoever that big boss of this place, she felt like coming to him and complaining about his grandson's attitude.

Albeit irked inside, she tried hard not to give in to her annoyance.

"Young Master, I'm sorry about the soup. How about if I fetch you a new one right now?"

"No need! Are you planning to make me wait longer? Just clean up the mess and get out of my sight!"

'What a brat. I want to twist his ear so bad.'

Li Caiyi took a deep breath before crouching on the floor, planning to pick up the scattered vegetables first.

"What are you doing? Who said you can use your hand? Pick it up using your mouth."

Her hand halted midair as she raised her head. Ye Zhong, who sat on the couch, was almost taller than her, who crouched on the floor.

The little Young Master smirked evilly with his legs folded together, exuding an imposing manner.

"What's with that look? You pissed me off twice, so take this punishment as a way to discipline you. If you refuse, I will tell Grandpa, and you'll know how this would end, right?"

Li Caiyi was dumbstruck. She never expected such words would come out of a kid whose height could barely reach her waist.

Previously, although she admitted that children could be mischievous sometimes, she believed they weren't inherently bad. However, this kid in front of her seemed different. His eyes clearly had innocent malice deep inside. And he took pleasure looking down on the people below him.

Meanwhile, Ye Zhong was a bit confused about her reaction. Most of the servants and bodyguards of this place usually would cry in panic or begged him not to tell Ye Huizhong about this, but Li Caiyi didn't panic at all.

Ye Zhong wasn't happy because it looked like Li Caiyi didn't take him seriously. It spurred him to act more unreasonably.

"Do you want to clean the floor, or should I make you? Are you so shocked you can't even think now? Our Ye Wang doesn't need a useless person like you."

"...that."

Ye Zhong's corner of the mouth raised hearing her faint voice.

Sure enough, she was too scared she couldn't even form words. This woman was just like any other servant. With a bit of threat, they would obey him unconditionally. He could make them lick the floor like a dog, and they wouldn't complain.

"Hm? Did you say something?"

"I said that was no way of treating people older than you, you insufferable brat." Li Caiyi said with a big smile.

Ye Zhong clearly didn't expect her to say that, so he was momentarily at a loss on what to say.

"You should treat other people like a human if you want to be treated as one too. Keep acting like that, and nobody will stay with you."

"I-Impertinent! How dare a mere servant like you lecture me?!"

Ye Zhong shouted at the top of his lungs while taking his spoon from the tray and was about to throw it at Li Caiyi. However, she was faster as she snatched the spoon from him and even took the tray away, worried he would grab that next.

"If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why do you have to waste food like that? Did your parents never teach you to appreciate food at all? You don't deserve to eat anything then!"

Ye Zhong's face turned red from anger, and he clenched his hand into a fist. "What do you know? They never teach me anything. Because they are never here!"

Li Caiyi stopped in her tracks and stared at Ye Zhong, who seemed ready to cry anytime.

Come to think of it, the cleaning lady only ever mentioned his grandfather as this place's big boss, but she never said anything about the Young Master's parents.

Li Caiyi immediately realized she had gone overboard by mentioning his parents.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have brought up your parents in this. I will give the food back to you, so don't cry."

"I'm not crying! And who needs that crappy food anyway?!"

"Now, don't say that. The food might have turned cold, but I bet it tasted delicious."

"What does a commoner like you know about good food? I bet you rarely have any chance to eat meat."

Ye Zhong's replies were still curt and sharp, but at least he didn't look as angry as before.

"But has anyone ever said you have a horrible attitude, Young Master?"

"You really have no fear. Aren't you afraid I'm going to tell Grandfather about this?"

Li Caiyi shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "You can tell him I don't care."

"What? If he knows about this, he will fire you for sure!" Ye Zhong gave strong emphasis to the word 'fire'.

"Sure, why not? I will only lose my job, while you will keep losing people's trust and respect by behaving this way. I bet you are that type of kid who doesn't have any friends in school."

"How dare you!"

"Why wouldn't I? You will make your grandfather fire me anyway, so why should I fear you? Keep relying on your grandfather like that, and you'll grow into a weak kid who can't do anything."

"That's not true! Big Brother Zhi had been training me for months now. He said I have a chance to grow up into a strong guy like him someday!"

Li Caiyi's eyes brightened at the mention of Dai Zhiqiang. She was conflicted on how she could probe information from an annoying brat like him, but the goddess of fortune was really smiling at her a lot today.
