Chapter 5 Fighting over leftovers
Chapter 5 Fighting over leftovers
There were no arguments at the dinner table this time.
The main characters enjoyed their dinner, chatting about trivial matters.
The two of them were standing to the side and couldn't get involved at all.
Zhang Xinru watched them eat with a bored expression.
Thinking that Fu Xiaochen usually has to pour his own drinks and serve himself when he eats alone, this saves her the trouble.
Just bear with it a little longer, and we'll be free once they finish eating.
Zhang Xinru anxiously tried to comfort herself.
Bored during his free time, he glanced at Wang Ma again.
So what exactly is Wang Ma doing standing here? Isn't her job to clean?
She's been out of the picture for a long time, why isn't she leaving?
Could it be that they saw me standing here all alone and felt sorry for me, so they wanted to keep me company?
Zhang Xinru thought about it more and more and felt it was possible, looking at Wang Ma with a touched expression.
I think Wang Ma is the best among all the servants.
Zhang Xinru's expression was so obvious that it was hard for Wang Ma to pretend not to see it.
Are you crazy? Why are you changing your expression every now and then when you look at her?
Wang Ma simply turned her face away, forcing herself not to look at her.
If Wang Ma knew what Zhang Xinru was thinking, she would definitely say that she was overthinking things and that she shouldn't be so narcissistic.
No one knows what the two women were thinking, and the main characters at the table finally finished their meal.
"I'm full, I can't eat anymore," Jiajia said calmly.
Fu Xiaochen put down his chopsticks and wiped her mouth with a tissue.
"You can't eat so little. You'll be exercising too much later. Don't get hungry again." He grinned wickedly.
Jiajia thought of something and muttered "rogue" under her breath.
She looked up and saw Zhang Ma and Wang Ma staring at her, her face flushed red, and she quickly got up and left.
Fu Xiaochen followed closely behind in a good mood.
We finally finished eating; it was such a relief.
Zhang Xinru hurriedly went to clear the table. She felt it was a pity to throw away so much delicious food, and many dishes had only been touched once or twice.
Having made up her mind, she quickly carried the dishes into the kitchen, glanced at the other servants inside, and hurriedly spoke.
"Don't throw away these vegetables I brought; they'll be used for something else."
Without even looking at other people's expressions, she hurriedly ran out to get the other leftovers.
Wang Ma loved watching Zhang Xinru busy herself with chores.
He pretended to carry a plate of leftovers and slowly walked towards the kitchen.
Watching Zhang Xinru rushing in and out in a hurry.
Wang Ma thought she was in a hurry to get off work and wanted to rest, so she snorted dismissively.
Serves him right, the young master should eat until midnight, making her anxious to death.
When I got to the kitchen, I was about to put my things down and leave when I saw Zhang Xinru squatting in the corner.
They devoured the leftovers that had just been brought in, their mouths greasy and their manners completely unrefined.
Wang Ma's mouth dropped open in surprise.
So that's what she was planning. That little bitch is so cunning. How come I didn't think of that?
He then joined the fray, fighting with Zhang Xinru for leftovers.
"..."
The other servants stared at the two of them speechlessly.
It's not like there aren't staff meals available, why are they making such a fuss?
The young master has never mistreated them! It's unbearable to watch.
The servants' meals were certainly not as lavish, although they were better than regular home-cooked meals.
But compared to what Fu Xiaochen eats every day, it's like heaven and earth.
Fu Xiaochen usually only eats a little in the morning and evening, and the cook only makes one person's portion each time.
When Fu Xiaochen finished eating and Zhang Xinru went to clean up, there was hardly anything left. Was she supposed to lick the plate clean?
Having finally caught these delicious foods, I'm definitely going to eat them all.
With each bite they took, Zhang Xinru and Wang Ma's eyes lit up a little more.
Thinking back to what I used to eat, this is truly a delicacy.
After they finished their dinner with satisfied expressions, they found each other somewhat agreeable.
Zhang Xinru was so full that she could barely stand up. This was the first time she had ever eaten such delicious food.
Ignoring the expressions of the other servants, she happily supported her belly and slowly walked out of the kitchen.
Wang Ma and the others only came to their senses after they had eaten and drunk their fill.
Thinking about how she had just been stuffing food into her mouth, she felt incredibly embarrassed.
With so many people watching, she wasn't as shameless as Zhang Ma.
Seeing that Zhang Ma had left, she hurriedly got up, supporting her belly and back, and left as well.
From a distance, the two looked like pregnant women.
Zhang Xinru walked slowly to her room, glancing back at Wang Ma behind her.
The thought of coming to this strange world alone, without any family or friends by my side.
It was rare to have someone to work with and eat leftovers with, so Wang Ma seemed more and more agreeable to him.
He immediately decided to get along well with her from now on, gave Wang Ma a friendly smile, and then turned and went back to his room.
Wang Ma walked behind Zhang Xinru, carefully making her way to her room while supporting her pregnant belly.
Suddenly, she saw Zhang Xinru turn around and give her a strange smile.
Standing in the darkness of the stairs, with her dark and thin face, she looked exactly like a female ghost, which gave me a fright.
Thinking about how I had just snatched food from her, I wondered if she was plotting something.
The two had different thoughts, and neither knew what the other was thinking.
Zhang Xinru tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She blamed herself for being too greedy and wished she had eaten less.
Seeing that it was getting late, I was wondering whether I should bring the young master a glass of water.
If I give them something, it might spoil their good time; if I don't, what if they get thirsty and blame me?
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to go back to sleep.
Today is the first time the female lead has come, so it's best not to disturb her.
Besides, I've been exhausted all day, and my legs are sore from standing. I should rest and recharge.
The next morning, when Zhang Xinru woke up, she went to the young master's room to tidy up as usual.
The place was clean and tidy inside. Strange, did someone clean it for her?
That's not right. The young master has always disliked older servants entering his room. Who could it be?
Could it be that Miss Jiajia wanted to show off, so she tidied herself up?
With her doubts still lingering, Zhang Xinru went to the restaurant again.
When she arrived at the restaurant, she didn't see a soul in sight.
I asked the servants nearby, but they all ignored me, so I had no choice but to go to the housekeeper.
It was finally found in the restaurant, and Zhang Xinru immediately asked about it.
"Butler, where is the young master? I haven't served him breakfast yet."
"Young Master rested in Miss Jiajia's room last night and didn't have breakfast this morning. He went out very early."
"Oh, by the way, take this to Miss Jiajia. The young master instructed me to do this this morning."
The housekeeper handed her the tonic he was holding.
Zhang Xinru reached out and took it, thinking to herself, "No wonder."
That's good, it's better for Fu Xiaochen to sleep in Miss Jiajia's room every day.
Another day of slacking off, hehe.
Not knowing if the female lead had gotten up yet, Zhang Xinru smiled lewdly, as if she had thought of something.
Carrying the tonics, he walked towards the female lead's bedroom, knocked on the door but received no response, so he casually pushed the door open.
A scene of extravagance greets the eye. The female lead is still asleep, her two long, gleaming legs covered in hickeys.
Tsk tsk, Fu Xiaochen is such a beast, and the female lead is such a beauty, I'm totally envious of those legs.
