Legend has it that the phoenix is the messenger of happiness in the human world. Every five hundred years, it has to bear all the unhappiness, hatred, and grudges accumulated in the human world, throw itself into the blazing fire and self-immolate. It exchanges the end of life and beauty for the peace and happiness of the human world. Only after undergoing great physical pain and reincarnation can they be reborn with a better body.
Ji Ai'er stayed in this半山 villa. She felt like a stray dog that was almost dying and ran away from home but was taken in by a kind-hearted person. In this completely strange place, she evaded the torment in her heart and the mundane distractions, and even had the idea of entering a monastery.
Except for hardly speaking, Ji Ai'er often did some things within her ability because this was also what she was good at. She was originally born humble. Even if she was forcibly given a glamorous identity, it couldn't change the fact that she was a sparrow.
Ji Ai'er knew that Raymond rarely went out. When he did, it was because he got clues about his lost sister and went to verify them. But every time he went out with hope and came back disappointed.
This time when she saw him walk in from outside, she understood from his expression and behavior that this time it was another fruitless attempt.
Some people and some things will automatically appear when we don't insist; but when we deliberately search for them, there is no trace.
Raymond saw Ji Ai'er and showed a tired smile. Ji Ai'er smiled faintly. But there was always a touch of melancholy in her eyes that could never fade. That kind of melancholy could even affect everyone who saw her, even though she was smiling at this moment.
Raymond knew that there must be many stories behind Ji Ai'er, but if she didn't say, he wasn't willing to deliberately investigate her privacy, although he could. Ji Ai'er's appearance here should be said to be a coincidence of fate, not a deliberate arrangement. Because her pair of melancholy eyes couldn't deceive anyone. She was like a wing-broken angel, losing her vitality.
"I'll go help you run the bathwater". Ji Ai'er said gently to Raymond. This was the first time she spoke to him.
"Thank you!" Raymond nodded. He really needed to take a bath and have a rest. There was still no clue about his sister. And Ji Ai'er's appearance somewhat curbed his disappointed mood. Although there were no shortage of servants in this place, he understood her feelings. She needed to do something for him to reduce a sense of indebtedness for staying here.
Ji Ai'er went upstairs and ran the bathwater for him in the bathroom in Raymond's room. This action was so skillful. Because she had been doing this before, but the person before couldn't feel her dedication every time.
After running the bathwater and preparing clothes for Raymond, she went downstairs and told Raymond that he could go upstairs to take a bath.
"Thank you!" Raymond still said so gentlemanly. This was a family that emphasized etiquette very much. Both the master Raymond and the servants were very particular about these. Just like the Ji family, they both had the same hereditary noble air, but Ji En would never learn to be a gentleman and be grateful.
