Chapter 19: Little 21st
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Master felt that she was acting lowly, cautious, and careful. He could not help but sigh in his heart.
In the past, Xing Jiuan would have definitely snatched them all away.
He placed all of them in Xing Jiuan’s hands. There were a few pieces that Xing Jiuan couldn’t hold and they dropped to the ground. He picked them up and placed them in Xing Jiuan’s hands again.
“Eat less and take care of yourself, okay?”
“If Master doesn’t manage me, I won’t be able to control myself.” Xing Jiuan lowered her head and looked at the chocolates in her hands. Her voice was very soft.
“Then…” Her master took back more than half of it and left her a few small ones. “If you want to eat them, let Mu Qing buy them for you.
“He’s your senior brother. It’s only right for you to order him around.
“If he’s unwilling, come back and tell Master. Master will support you.”
“Okay.”
“I have a lot of chocolates here. Come back whenever you feel like eating them. I’ll give them to you. I won’t fight with you over them anymore.”
“Okay.”
“Alright, stop crying. Go wash your face. It’s time to eat.”
“Alright.”
“Also, your fiancé is gone.”
“I never had a fiancé.”
Her master touched her head and sighed.
“Let’s go, let’s go. I’m going to eat first. Little 21st, hurry up.”
“Okay.”
Little 21st was the name that Master often used to call Xing Jiuan because she was ranked 21st among the disciples.
When she was young, Xing Jiuan had a childish voice and spoke in a soft and cuddly manner. She would even say, “21st loves you.” Her senior brothers and senior sisters would tease her and make her say “21st loves you” to them.
Hence, when she was young, Xing Jiuan had told others many times that she loved them.
However, at that time, her name was still Xing Se.
It turned out that the meaning behind her name was actually so blissful.
She had somewhat forgotten how the name “Xing Jiuan” came about. At first, her master was not satisfied and said that the name he’d given her sounded nice. However, later on, he also started calling her Jiuan.
But Xing Se was still Xing Jiuan’s name on her household register.
Even if no one called her Xing Se, she was still Xing Se.
…
After learning the origin of her name, Xing Jiuan seemed to become much happier.
However, what puzzled her even more was how the Master knew about her…
Xing Jiuan washed her face and stopped pondering over it.
Since that was the case, she felt that there was nothing else that could make her sad.
She could still be like before. This was what her master said.
After washing her face, Xing Jiuan went back.
Her eyes were a little red and her skin was very fair and tender. If there was anything slightly wrong, one could see it clearly.
Eldest Senior Brother and Senior Sister looked at her worriedly and asked her what was wrong.
Xing Jiuan did not say anything, so they targeted their master.
“Master, Little Jiuan hasn’t been back for so long. Did you scold her because of that?” Senior Sister spoke first.
Eldest Senior Brother followed suit and grumbled, “Master, Jiuan is still young. Don’t be too harsh on her.”
“I…” Master was shocked and gloomy.
“It’s not Master’s problem. It’s mine,” Xing Jiuan said hurriedly.
“I’m the one who was feeling unhappy. Master gave me some advice.”
“Hmph,” Master grunted softly. “Come here, Little 21st. These two are bad people. They would lead you astray.”
Xing Jiuan smiled helplessly and walked over.
“Alright, you two. Where are the ginger soup and noodles? If you don’t bring them over, they’ll turn cold.”
When the two of them saw that Xing Jiuan seemed to be rather happy beside their master, they felt slightly relieved.
