Chapter 3: Mirror

Felica, a young sixteen year old girl with freckles and her hair in two braids, stood by the door.

When Xing Ye saw Felicia, a description of her instantly popped into his mind. He glanced discreetly at the black and white wristband, noticing it turned transparent. It looks like the NPC can't see it.

A string of words only Xing Ye could see was displayed on the band: the plot is automatically updated.

Alright, at least the system wasn't so bad as to not even give him the name. It looks like when he meets people Claire knows, the system will give him a basic introduction.

It really was basic: the name and that's it.

Xing Ye lowered his head to look at the much shorter Felicia. She was holding a big wooden basin filled with clothes, her stature making the task much more arduous than it would've been. Xing Ye casually took the basin and carried it for her.

Felicia's face turned red as she hugged Xing Ye's free arm, burying her head in it. She praised cutely, "Claire, you're the best!"

Xing Ye only ever had a working relationship with women so he wasn't used to such intimate actions. However, to prevent her from discovering something was off, he forced himself to endure and didn't push Felicia away.

However, this intimate action also gave him some benefits. For Xing Ye who didn't know the way, he had just to follow Felicia to go to the riverbank.

Spring seemed to have just started in this world and so the river water was still ice cold. Felicia's hands instantly turned red as she started to wash the clothes, pausing occasionally to cup her stomach bitterly.

Xing Ye was speechless.

The main market for their company were women so even though he's never been intimate with them, the things he learnt during market research still made him figure out Felicia's situation. For such a young girl who just bloomed, having prolonged contact with cold things like the icy river water during that time of the month would be bad for their health.

"Don't wash it anymore." Xing Ye said and realized his voice had become crisp and clear- it was a girl's voice.

"I can't," Felicia's face was pale as she shook her head, "We're almost out of bread at home so I need to wash this fast to get money for food."

So it turns out she was a poor young girl in medieval times who relied on doing laundry to make a living. Although she wasn't a serf, her life was still very difficult.

"I'll wash it, you should just rest here." Xing Ye pulled Felicia up and brought her to a sunny spot before going to the basin and washing the clothes for her.

Xing Ye's family was well-off but his parents were diligent in making sure he was self-sufficient. In high school, he was sent to a private boarding school and had to experience life under the military so things like cleaning and washing clothes were all easy to him.

Felicia looked at Xing Ye gracefully, "Thank you, I'll be troubling you then. If you ever feel uncomfortable later, I'll help you!"

You probably won't have the chance... Xing Ye secretly thought as he washed the clothes.

Felicia found some hay to use as a cushion and leaned on a tree by the riverbank. Under the sun's warm glow, she quickly fell asleep.

While Xing Ye was wringing water from the clothes, a prompt replaced the plot context notification: "The kindhearted Claire had just finished washing the clothes when she saw a shimmer of light glimmer not far away. She walked over curiously and found a silver mirror. Claire always wanted to have one of those legendary mirrors. She picked it up and saw her face."
