Qian Ruyi stood there, frozen in place while gawking at the young girl in front of her. Her face turns red from embarrassment but hides it fast enough that only Xia Qin Yi, who's still looking at her with cold eyes, notice the changes.
Xia Qin Yi turns her back at Qian Ruyi, placing the card in front of the equally furious attendant with indifference. This pair of birds are looking for self-embarrassment. If they dare to drain the last bit of patience in her, who knows what she's going to do? In her past life, there's nothing that could move her to lose her cool except when she was hungry. And right now, Xia Qin Yi wants to eat the two people in front of her!
Realizing that she might get a stomachache if she does that, she immediately changes her mind. The attendant quickly took the card and after finishing the process, and instantly handed it to Xia Qin Yi. The attendant looks like she has eaten a fly. Her voice so small compared to her voice while shouting like a mad woman earlier. She was embarrassed too. The people waiting in line almost burst out laughing.
Although Xia Qin Yi didn't say a single word, her face tells that she doesn't care about what happened. She just wanted to eat her fill. Why bother these people who bark in the wrong tree. Xia Qin Yi turns around and quickly heads to the exit, leaving everyone speechless.
In everyone's mind, " The girl just left just like that? Is she dumb? She was called names in her face, yet she didn't retaliate? " or " How fitting. Blabbing some nonsense like that in front of a youngster, these younger generations nowadays." or " Hahaha That was cool! These birds just got some face-slapped! Their faces look like they have eaten something disgusting."
If Xia Qin Yi could only hear the thoughts of these people then she will retaliate. Why would she care about these flies? Is it more important than her food? Her stomach is more important than those flies!
' Dumb? You're dumb! Your whole family is dumb! ' Luckily she hadn't heard any of these.
Qian Ruyi, on the other hand, immediately lowered her head and heads to her previous position. The elder on her side looks at her with dissatisfaction. She lowered her head once more like a turtle hiding in its shell.
Xia Qin Yi directly head to the food stall and sat there waiting for her food to be served. At most, she was gone a while longer than expected. She felt apologetic inside.
The old lady serves the meal and she starts to eat without taking a break. The old lady is watching her from afar and her smile reaches her eyes once again. The old lady has a good impression of the youngster. Even though the girl is emotionless, she can see with her eyes that the girl does have manners.
Nowadays a lot of younger generations don't know how to respect their elders, especially if they are lower in status. She had met a lot of people in the line of her business, and she can see that this girl is either humble and calm. This old lady is not simple too. She visits this village out of habit because she likes to see the scenery.
This was just her excuse when asked why she'll take a break in a remote place like this. Who knows that she'll meet an interesting person in her visit today? No one knows either. She hopes that she'll meet the girl too soon.
Xia Qin Yi, on the other hand, is almost done eating the dishes. She eats with elegance and her face was bright even though it's still emotionless. Ah! Food is life! Xia Qin Yi's motto is 'to eat miserably is to live miserable' thus she always enjoys and appreciates the food she was eating, especially if the food is delicious. She was satisfied with the food in the food stall. She might order for taking out fearing that she'll starve along the way to the city.
While eating, Xia Qin Yi plans to not take everything fast. She needs time to assert her ability, whether she has a chance to retaliate right now. But she is not an impatient person. Doing her revenge without the slightest bit of power in her own hands will surely fail without a miss. She will take things step by step, to the point that the people who had wronged her can't d anything but fall to her traps. Hell, she was waiting for that day to come.
Her mind flew elsewhere after that. The past Xia Qin Yi doesn't attain education ever since she was a child. Therefore, she was ignorant and mindless about the outside world. When she was a child, she was entitled as a good-for-nothing child of the Xia family. She doesn't have the talent to elevate her status in her household. Giving the family shame is what she's good at. But how could a little child do something if she was not taught well? Not once that a member of the family gives her a chance to learn what a normal child should learn.
Ah! The child is not at fault. It was because the Xia family expected that the first grandchild of the manor should be a boy. But it turns out to be a girl and a talentless one at that. She sighed deeply in her heart before her eyes softened.
The past Xia Qin Yi is more pitiful than her. Even though she was used and manipulated before she was killed, she had learned all the things she has to learn. She was a bright child. She thinks that maybe because of her brilliance the people who she thought of as her family, want to dim her light a bit. But after so much thought, they decided to dim her light forever. If she had known about how the family she treats well thinks about her, she would likely choose to vanish in their lives to live as an ordinary person.
Then maybe, she could be happy living like a normal person. To live freely. To do the things that she yearns for. To have friends. She longed for genuine emotion. She feels stuffed her whole life.
Now that she has a chance to do the things she likes, she will give it a try. What she wanted to do in her past life, no one can stop her to do in this life. Just thinking about it, Xia Qin Yi was lifted through her gloominess and radiates a faint glow of hope. She was engrossed in her thoughts too much that she doesn't feel the stares of the people, entranced with her countenance. Bright and full of life, nothing like the former dark and cold aura.
After eating, Xia Qin Yi walks through the cashier to pay for her meal. Also ordering for take-outs for her long journey to La Fei City. She doesn't want to lose composure on the way if she gets hungry. It will surely a sight to behold if she loses her cool when someone is around.
