Chapter 20 I Don't Know How to Chat
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Gu Nianbin took a bottle of water from the cabinet with one hand, and stretched out the other to pull her up.
Du Xiaoxian blushed and quickly got up. She was about to dust her clothes, but her hand stopped in the air. She smiled at him embarrassedly.
"What's the matter?"
"Your room is very clean, and there is no dust at all," said Du Xiaoxian.
Gu Nianbin handed her the water bottle and said, "Take it. Drink the bottled water instead of tap water from now on. Understood?"
Er... drink the bottled water? Du Xiaoxian dared not to take the bottle. This was for the masters only, and servants drank barreled water. She heard that even barreled water cost 20 yuan each. It was too expensive, so she often drank from the tap. Anyway, it was sterilized and wouldn't cause loose bowels. But now the young master asked her to drink bottled water. Well…
Seeing that she didn't take the water, Gu Nianbin opened the bottle and put it near her mouth. "Drink it. It's not poisonous. What are you afraid of?"
As soon as Gu Nianbin's voice became a little louder, Du Xiaoxian was scared and instinctively followed the order. She took the bottle and had a sip. It was slightly sweet, tastier than tap water and barreled water as expected. She took another sip, capped the bottle and bowed to Gu Nianbin. "Thank you, young master!"
"Don't mention it. It's just a bottle of water." Gu Nianbin said, "Also, there's no need to bow or do anything like that in our family."
Du Xiaoxian nodded, but thought to herself that second aunt told her to be grateful for the kindness of others, especially in wealthy family like this. Only bowing could show her sincerity.
Gu Nianbin sat down, leaned on the sofa and asked, "Are you busy?"
"No. Is there anything I could do for you, young master?" Du Xiaoxian's eyes suddenly lit up. She wanted to repay Gu Nianbin because he had shown kindness to her.
Gu Nianbin's heart suddenly skipped a beat because of her clear and bright eyes. How could this happen? It was so unusual, maybe he was really drunk. He stroked his forehead and pointed to the sofa. "Take a seat. If you are not busy, have a chat with me."
Du Xiaoxian hesitated for a while. She could do a lot of things, but she was not good at chatting. Normally she was a silent listener while others did the talking. Even her second aunt said she was half a dummy.
"Young master, I…I don't know how to chat," muttered Du Xiaoxian.
"It doesn't matter," Gu Nianbin smiled gently, "how about sitting down first? It made me tired looking up with you standing there like this."
Du Xiaoxian surely didn't have the nerve to make him tired, so she had to sit down. She had been here for more than a week but had never sat on a sofa before. To her surprise, the sofa was so soft. She was startled and sprang up immediately.
"What is it? Are there nails on it?" Gu Nianbin raised his eyebrows and looked at her smilingly. Although the little girl was weird, she was very interesting to him.
"No, no..." Du Xiaoxian blushed. She only sat on wooden stools before. This was the first time she had sat on such a soft sofa, which made her very uneasy. But she dared not keep standing because the young master would get tired looking up to her. So she had to sit on the edge of the sofa with a straight back, supporting her weight on her legs.
Seeing her sitting so rigidly, Gu Nianbin couldn't help but laugh. "Don't be nervous. It's just casual talk. Is there anyone else in your family?"
"My dad."
"Where is your hometown?"
"Daliang Mountain."
"Daliang Mountain is really far away from here. Did your dad send you here?"
Du Xiaoxian shook her head. "I came here by myself. My dad wasn't at home."
Gu Nianbin asked curiously, "You were far away from home, why didn't your dad stay at home?"
"My dad is often away from home," said Du Xiaoxian. "Usually I am alone at home."
"Doesn't your dad take care of you?"
"My dad only comes back once a year when we sell pigs. He will collect the money and leave. He doesn't stay at home for long." Du Xiaoxian threw out her chest and smiled proudly. "I have been taking care of myself since I was a child. I can cook, wash clothes, feed pigs and grow vegetables."
Gu Nianbin was surprised and raised his eyebrows. If what she said was true, she would be so pitiful, but she didn't make any complaint at all.
"Your dad takes all the money away. How do you make a living?"
"Dad needs a lot of money outside," said Du Xiaoxian. "I can support myself by growing and selling vegetables at home."
Looking at her simple and childish face, Gu Nianbin was speechless.

After talking with Gu Nianbin that night, Du Xiaoxian became less afraid of him and stopped running away when seeing him. She regarded the young master as a kind person because he smiled at her and gave her a bottle of water. She shouldn’t escape from such a kind person anymore. Nevertheless, she was still shy and stood far away. If he drew nearer, she would summon up all her courage to greet him.Gu Nianbin always held gentle smiles when seeing her. He couldn’t keep a straight face to such a poor girl. To his driver Xiaoding, it was inconceivable that their young master, who rarely smiled, smiled at the new maid. Du Xiaoxian kept the young master’s kindness in mind, but could not think of a way to repay him. In the end she chose to get up early in the morning and clean his car.Everyday Xiaoding waited for his master by the car ten minutes in advance.

Sitting in the car, Gu Nianbin pinched the area between his eyebrows and then said to the driver, "To Huafu Hospital."It was a private hospital owned by his family and located not far from their house. They soon arrived. Gu Nianbin went to the nurse station and inquired about Du Xiaoxian. He was told that she had been examined and was in the observation ward. He walked down the corridor to the ward and found that the door was slightly open. When he reached out to open it, he heard Ling scolding Du Xiaoxian, "Xiaoxian, you had crossed the line. So many people were there today and it was not your turn to stand out. You overestimated yourself. The young master's cousin is tall and strong. He could hit you down with one single punch. Weren't you afraid of being hurt?""Sister Ling, I... I didn't think too much. The only thing I knew was that I couldn't let him go upstairs. He would make the master angry, which was bad for his health." Her voice was light and s

Although the question was beyond his expertise, the doctor paused and then said, "Well...gaining weight depends on assimilation of nutrition. Therefore, a good digestion system is essential, about which I can ask the most authoritative professor in the hospital to give you detailed explanation.""Forget it," Gu Nianbin waved his hand and glanced at Du Xiaoxian, "Do you mean all she need is good rest? Will there be any sequelae?""According to the result of examination, Miss Du should be fine." The doctor was sweating in his palm seeing the boss so attentive to his maid. Should there be any problem with the little maid in the future, he might be fired any minute. He thought about it twice and added, "However, it’s not for sure. Further observation is still necessary. If Miss Du feels uncomfortable, please come to the hospital as soon as possible.""Set up a special medical record for her and pay regular follow-up visits.""OK, Presi

Du Xiaoxian got back to the Gu’s mansion at about six o'clock in the afternoon. Although Gu Nianbin wanted her to stay in the hospital one more night for further observation, Du Xiaoxian refused. Now that doctor said she was okay, then what was the use of staying in the hospital? Besides, she was afraid that the medical expense would be extremely high if she stayed overnight. It was unnecessary to spend money like this.After she was back to the Gu's mansion, Du Xiaoxian received special care, which made her increasingly uneasy. With only minor wounds on the head, she was able to work as usual. But her ladyship insisted that she should rest and asked others to prepare some nutritious food for her. She recognized that it was bird's nest and knew it was too precious for her to eat. How could she eat it? This was not something for a maid.She blushed and tried to refuse. Her ladyship was more determined, however, sitting by the bed to urge her to eat it up. At

Gu Shanshan would leave early tomorrow morning, so Gu Nianbin turned down a business dinner invitation and rushed home instead. He entered the room, only to find Xia Xiaowan sitting on the sofa, talking and laughing with his mother.Seeing him, Xia Xiaowan stood up gracefully, "Hello, Mr. Gu."Gu Nianbin nodded, "Hello, Miss Xia.""Relax, let’s greet each other by names." Fang Yaru dragged her son over and made him sit down. "It's a perfect timing to have a chat with Xiaowan. I'll go to the kitchen to check on the dishes."After she left, Xia Xiaowan smiled at Gu Nianbin, "Is that okay?""What?" Puzzled for a second, then Gu Nianbin understood and replied politely, "Oh, sure. You can address me in whatever way you like.""But my name ..." Xia Xiaowan thought for a while and said, "If you mind, you can still...""It doesn't matter," Gu Nianbin said, "There are many people sharing the same name

Several days later, the bandage on Du Xiaoxian's head was replaced by a small band-aid. In the end, only a shallow crescent-shaped scar was left on her forehead, which could not be found out when covered by hair.One night, Gu Nianbin called Du Xiaoxian to his room and told her that she would go to school tomorrow.Having forgotten this matter, she was shocked by this sudden news, "Young Master, are you really sending me to school?""Yes." Noticing her trembling thin body, Gu Nianbin waved at her and said, "Come and sit."Du Xiaoxian slowly walked over and sat on the edge of the sofa. Light from a lamp cast right on her, making the shadow of her small body looked just like a child."You're still young. Learning more is good for your future," He asked, "Are you willing to go to school?""I..." This was a big deal for her. Should she agree? Her mother hoped she could learn more and she would be happy in heav

The next morning, Gu Nianbin was woken up by the familiar sound of sweeping. He rubbed his eyes and looked out of the window. Sunlight shone through the white curtains, making the room warmer. He stretched his body a little bit and walked to the window, finding Du Xiaoxian sweeping under the trees carefully in the lavender uniform. Her soft hair was dancing in the wind, and her laced apron was bulging around her small body. She looked like the girl rotating in circles in the music box.Gu Nianbin kept watching her until she swept all the way to the front door. Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, he was surprised to find that his lips were slightly raised, as if he was smiling. It must be the good weather that cheered him up.He turned on the tap and splashed a handful of cold water over his face. After washing up, he put on a sweatshirt and went jogging downstairs.The air was fresh in the morning. Although the sun was still behind the cl

Drinking tea and reading newspapers nearby, Gu Nianbin looked distracted but actually never took his eyes off Du Xiaoxian. Noticing her uneasiness, he went up to her and asked gently, "What's wrong?"At sight of him, Du Xiaoxian rushed over and grabbed his arm tightly. Although she still revered him, he was the only acquaintance she could find here. She got relieved when seeing him.Gu Nianbin was amused by her reaction. He bent down and asked softly, "None of your taste? Then let's go somewhere else."Du Xiaoxian shook her head like a frightened fawn, mumbling, "All of them are surrounding me, I..." She was too timid to speak out her nervousness in such occasions.Gu Nianbin got her at once and dismissed the sales by a gesture. He found a seat for her and said, "Now they are all gone. You can choose freely. Show me what you like."Du Xiaoxian looked at the clothes and the fancy shop, "Sir, the clothes here must be ver

I lost a lot of blood, but I was eventually saved.When I woke up, my parents were sitting on the edge of the bed with tears in their eyes looking at me. I felt so selfish because last night when I thought I was dying, I actually didn't think of them. I don't deserve to be their daughter at all, but God loved me and gave me a chance to be a human being again, and I vowed that I would never let them shed a single tear for me in the future.I shook my mom's hand and said with difficulty, "Yeah, sorry for making you guys, worry."My mom, who was originally full of tears, burst into tears when she heard my words, grasping my hand tightly and sobbing uncontrollably, "Silly little girl, why didn't you tell mom and dad about such a big thing?"I don't know what she's referring to.
