I remembered there were others in the room and looked up, glancing at her indifferently: “That’s none of your business! You’d better do your job as a servant!” My coldness even surprised myself. Sometimes I didn’t understand why I was unable to forgive Xiao Wu.
Perhaps it was because I had once invested too much emotion in her.
“Miss, he is not worth loving! Servants believe that loving Wang, loving the Silver Disabled Young Master, or loving Wuhen’s attendant would be happier than loving Weilo!” She ignored my coldness and spoke quietly, so calmly that it seemed like she was discussing something trivial.
“I will no longer love anyone. At least, I won’t love someone who has hurt me before!” After a long time, I heard my own voice, strange and unfamiliar even to myself.
We stood face to face, and looking at her young face, a hint of pain inadvertently leaked from my heart.
“Since you know some people shouldn’t be loved, why persist?” I said to her.
She looked back at me: “Some things are not something one can choose. Once you love, you love. No matter how much you try to restrain yourself, it’s ultimately self-deception!
Her tone was extremely faint: “She was originally a poor flower seller, destined to be lowly from birth. But she refused to accept her fate, desperately picking and selling flowers every day, believing that one day she would earn enough money to buy a house for her mother. However, one day when she returned after selling flowers, she discovered her mother had frozen to death in bed, while her father was embracing another woman, enjoying himself.”
So she picked up a knife and stabbed it into the heart of that woman and her father. Then she turned and fled desperately. When she thought she would die on the street, a little boy saved her. From that moment, the girl had only that boy, following his commands to become a maid in the home of his loved woman. She always considered the boy who saved her as the most important person in her life. She swore that no matter what he asked, whatever he wanted her to do, she would do it!
