Chapter 13 Did you hear? The person in room number 3 didn't sleep a wink all night.
The next morning.
Before Xiao Jiu Jiu was fully awake, there was a knock on the door.
The knocking was very rhythmic.
Knock three times, then stop.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Miss Liu, please get up and have breakfast."
The maid knocked on the door for a long time.
Little Jiu Jiu was fast asleep, hugging her blanket and looking completely blissful, oblivious to the sounds outside.
Coal Ball was the first to wake up.
The knocking was still too noisy for it.
"Meow~"
[Little Jiu, get up quickly]
The soft, fleshy pads pressed gently down onto Xiao Jiu Jiu's fair and tender face.
Xiao Jiu Jiu's face would sink in and then quickly return to normal.
After a while, seeing that Xiao Jiu Jiu still hadn't woken up.
The knocking on the door continued, and Coal Ball reached out and patted it.
This time I used a bit more force.
"Coal ball, stop fooling around."
Xiao Jiu Jiu turned over, hugged the blanket to her chest, buried her head in it, and fell asleep comfortably again.
"Meow!"
【get up!】
A sharp meow rang out, and Coal Ball sat hard on Little Nine-Nine's bottom.
The feeling of a heavy object pressing on her stomach woke her up.
Feeling a little dazed, Xiao Jiu Jiu got up and rubbed her eyes.
She looked at Coal Ball sleepily: "What's wrong, Coal Ball?"
The coal ball rolled its eyes dramatically.
[My little darling!]
The person outside has been knocking on the door for ages and you still haven't woken up. If it's a human trafficker, we're doomed.
They were taken away without even knowing it.
I take a nap without fail.
"what?"
Before Xiao Jiu Jiu could react, she tilted her head to the side.
There are people outside.
Just then, she heard another knock on the door.
"Miss Liu, are you awake?"
Xiao Jiu Jiu suddenly sat up: "I'm awake! I'm awake!"
She ran barefoot to the door.
Even when Coal Ball called after her to put on her shoes, she wouldn't move.
"Squeak!"
After the door opened, Xiao Jiu Jiu scratched her head at the maid and smiled, "Sorry, I slept too soundly."
Her smile is like the warm winter sun, it's especially lovely.
"It's alright, Miss Liu, you don't need to apologize to me."
Please come to the lobby for breakfast in fifteen minutes.
When the maid saw that it was a cute little girl who opened the door, all the resentment in her heart disappeared.
Children are naturally sleepy, she can understand that.
Seeing that the maid wasn't angry with her, Xiao Jiujiu tentatively asked, "Um..."
Her two fingers were twisted together and kept turning.
He was clearly a little nervous.
The maid smiled gently: "What would Miss Liu like to ask?"
"Excuse me, where is the front hall?"
As soon as Xiao Jiu finished speaking, she immediately lowered her head, afraid of being laughed at.
The Ye family's old house is really too big.
She had never been to many places before, so she didn't know the way.
The maid chuckled and said, "To get to the front hall, just go out this way, turn left, walk to the end of the road, then turn right and walk straight through the archway."
Actually, the place isn't far from here.
If you really don't know the way, I'll wait for you at the entrance until you're ready, and then I'll take you there.
"Oh, that's so embarrassing, that's not good..." Xiao Jiu Jiu quickly waved her hands.
She didn't want to cause any more trouble for others.
Upon hearing this, the maid added, "It's fine if you don't need me to guide you. Actually, there are signs at every corner, but Miss Liu, it might be inconvenient for you to see them."
"It's alright, it's alright, I can go by myself in a bit, thank you, sister!"
A simple "sister" accompanied by a sweet smile.
Completely conquer the maid.
The maid smiled and replied, "You're welcome, Miss Liu. I'll go call the others now."
"Okay, thank you, sister~"
After closing the door, Xiao Jiu Jiu sighed, "I need to hurry up and wash up; time waits for no one!"
[Yeah, it took me ages to wake you up.]
Coal Ball squatted on the table, licked the water in the cup, and licked its own fur.
"Alright, coal, stop nagging!"
Little Jiu Jiu stepped onto a small stool and started brushing her teeth.
Two ants slowly crawled across the windowsill.
Have you heard? The woman in room number 3 didn't sleep a wink all night.
I know, it's so noisy, they were screaming all night.
[It sounds like she's shouting something like, "Grandma, don't blame me."]
[They've obviously done something wrong; they're acting like they have a guilty conscience.]
Hearing what the two ants said, Xiao Jiujiu's eyes crinkled into a smile.
whee.
It worked.
It seems I do have a tiny bit of talent!
The rooms here are quite spacious.
The coal ball looked around and spoke.
Because the entire old house is a combination of modern and ancient styles, there is a distance between the rooms.
Moreover, each room is very spacious.
It has a separate toilet, bathroom, and study.
It's just like a renter living in a two-bedroom apartment by one person.
"Yes!"
After washing up, Xiao Jiu Jiu pulled a dress out of her suitcase.
This suitcase doesn't belong to her.
It was prepared for her by Ye Chen.
Inside were all the new clothes and shoes Ye Chen had bought for her.
Xiao Jiu Jiu chose a light green high-waisted ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and paired it with a pair of elegant off-white embroidered upturned shoes.
Like a little fairy.
After getting dressed, Xiao Jiu Jiu's hair was still loose and messy.
She sat in front of the dressing table and skillfully tied her hair with a comb.
When I was in the village.
Grandpa was a big, burly man who never combed her hair.
Xiao Jiu Jiu always looked like Mei Chaofeng, with her hair all messy and disheveled.
Because they are very dry, they will also become frizzy.
Although she was often teased, Xiao Jiu Jiu never tied her hair up.
until once.
Four-year-old Jiu Jiu fell to the ground while playing.
Her hair was stuck to the chewing gum.
That chewing gum was disgusting and sticky.
I can't get it out of my hair no matter what I do.
Left with no other option, I had to cut my hair off.
Xiao Jiu Jiu cried for a long time because of this.
After her hair grows back.
Knowing that her grandfather was unreliable, Xiao Jiujiu went to the village aunt.
The aunt was very kind and quickly taught four-year-old Xiao Jiu Jiu how to comb her hair.
The little tricksters of today are not what they used to be; they are quite skilled at combing their hair.
After tying her hair into two cute buns and adding pretty hair clips, Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled sweetly at herself in the mirror: "Alright, let's go!"
Xiao Jiujiu is not tall and cannot see the sign.
Fortunately, I have good eyesight, and there's a cat perched on my head.
Coal Ball would occasionally give her directions.
The person and the cat arrived at the front hall without incident.
It must be said that the Ye family residence is indeed very large, and the family is very prosperous.
There are already dozens of people sitting in the lobby.
Nobody knows Xiao Jiujiu.
As the pretty young girl entered, carrying a black cat in her arms, everyone stared at her with great curiosity.
"do you know?"
"I don't recognize him/her, I've never seen him/her before."
"They look familiar, like I've run into them somewhere before."
The adults whispered among themselves, all speculating about Xiao Jiu Jiu's identity.
Little Jiu Jiu muttered in a slightly frightened voice, "Coal Ball, what should we do? What are they going to do?"
These adults are terrifying.
It feels like a cricket is tickling me!
The coal ball lazily licked its paws: "Meow~"
【have no idea】
Just then, a surprised female voice rang out: "Hey, it's you!"
