With only two days left before school starts, Dai Shiyuan must now move into her own house.
Originally, she planned to stay in the villa until school started, but after Dai's mother returned, she kept pushing her out.
Today, she even had someone pack her luggage and send her away.
Dai's father is not here, and she has no one to rely on, so she can only obey Dai's mother's orders.
Dai Shiyuan sat in the car, her little face filled with displeasure and dissatisfaction.
She remembered the grudge against Dai's mother for bullying her today.
The driver saw her cold face and didn't dare to speak all the way. When they arrived, he quickly unloaded the luggage.
In less than ten minutes, all of Dai Shiyuan's luggage had been brought into the house.
"Miss, I'll leave first." The driver said respectfully, and his figure was a little eager to leave.
Dai Shiyuan heard the sound of the door closing, stood for a while, and sighed heavily.
She is really annoyed right now!
There was no traffic jam on the way, and the driver drove fast, arriving half an hour ahead of schedule.
Moreover, the driver was too efficient. He moved all her luggage in a few minutes, without giving her any buffer time.
Fortunately, the female lead is not here now, otherwise she really doesn't know how to face her.
Dai Shiyuan pouted in annoyance, quickly dragging her luggage to her room.
She didn't want to be in the middle of moving when the female lead suddenly returned.
Finally, after finishing moving, the female lead still hadn't returned. Dai Shiyuan sat in the room, relaxing and breathing a sigh of relief.
After resting for a while, she got up to see what new things were in her new house.
First was the bathroom, where there was an extra cup and a toothbrush on the washbasin.
The pink color made her green toothbrush stand out, but it was okay. She would never mix up their toothbrushes in the future.
Dai Shiyuan looked at it for a while, feeling a strong urge to throw away these things that belonged to the female lead, but she gritted her teeth and suppressed this impulse.
In the bathroom, the female lead only left her toothbrush and cup, and there was no other things like shower gel.
Dai Shiyuan couldn't help but frown.
If the female lead wants to use the same shower gel as her, she would definitely refuse. Her personal belongings, she doesn't want to share with others.
After checking the bathroom, Dai Shiyuan went to the kitchen. Here, there were only the new kitchen utensils she bought, without any signs of use, even the fridge only had the eggs she bought last time.
The female lead's belongings were completely absent.
The female lead's character was good at cooking. She moved in two days ago, it seems that she hasn't cooked in these two days.
Dai Shiyuan was somewhat satisfied with this.
She didn't even want the female lead to use the kitchen utensils she bought.
Looking around, the changes in the room were neither big nor small.
Dai Shiyuan was used to living alone, but still felt uncomfortable.
Suddenly, the sound of the door lock turning outside made Dai Shiyuan startled, and she hurried back to her room like a frightened rabbit.
The sound of the female lead talking on the phone outside could be heard.
"It's okay, I already have a place to live. I will move in after the dormitory is ready." Shan Yaxin said softly, her face smiling genuinely after a long time.
Shan Yaxin glanced around the room, and her gaze suddenly became cold.
Her father had already told her that her sister-in-law would move in today.
Even though she was mentally prepared, at the moment when the two of them were really living together, she couldn't help but feel some repressed hatred in her heart.
It was this seemingly innocent woman who caused her to lose her family.
This time, she must keep a close eye on this woman and not let her hurt her family.
Shan Yaxin's eyes flickered, and after looking at the closed door of the master bedroom for a long time, she restrained the hatred in her eyes and walked over.
Listening to the female lead's footsteps getting closer and closer, Dai Shiyuan's heart shrank, her eyes fixed on the door, and she forgot to breathe for a moment.
Suddenly, the familiar rhythm of knocking on the door sounded, accompanied by the gentle voice of the female lead, "Xiaoyuan, are you in there?"
Dai Shiyuan swallowed and looked around, subconsciously looking for a hiding place.
But she had no retreat now and could only face the female lead directly.
The door lock was twisted open, revealing a beautiful face.
Dai Shiyuan was immediately annoyed. She had forgotten to lock the door when she entered the room earlier, which had made it easy for the female lead to come in.
"Xiaoyuan, is there anything my sister-in-law can help you with?" Shan Yaxin asked with a light laugh, walking further into the room.
Dai Shiyuan's eyebrows furrowed as she suddenly realized something.
When they were at the villa, the female lead would almost always knock on the door and then come directly into her room without asking for her permission.
Now that they were living together, she needed to change this habit of the female lead's.
"Sister-in-law, how did you come in?" Dai Shiyuan pretended to be surprised and asked, glancing at the door in confusion.
Dan Yaxin continued to smile calmly and answered softly, "I knocked on the door just now, but Xiaoyuan may not have heard."
"Knocking on the door doesn't mean you can just come in..." Dai Shiyuan's tone was much more severe than before, her furrowed eyebrows revealing her displeasure.
As she watched Dai Shiyuan's unmasked displeasure, Shan Yaxin lowered her head and her expression turned cold.
This woman had shown her true colors so quickly. Shan Yaxin had thought she would put on an act for a while longer.
It was quite disappointing, really.
Shan Yaxin sneered inwardly and when she lifted her head, her eyes became fragile and innocent, misty with water, as if she had been wronged, and she said softly, "I'm sorry, Xiaoyuan, I shouldn't have come in..."
After saying this, Shan Yaxin lowered her head again and stood there helplessly.
Dai Shiyuan looked at the tall figure of the female lead and felt a little uneasy. Recently, in order to get a place to live, the female lead had asked her for tea several times, always looking like she was being bullied by her.
She clearly didn't do anything wrong.
This female lead is too fragile...
Dai Shiyuan pursed her lips and maintained a cold tone, saying, "Sister-in-law, I'm a bit tired and want to rest, so you should leave first."
"Xiaoyuan, I..." Shan Yaxin said with a more aggrieved expression, her eyes somewhat timid.
After hesitating for a moment, she still left as instructed, but before leaving, she looked deeply at Dai Shiyuan, as if she had a lot to say.
Dai Shiyuan looked at the closed door expressionlessly.
She still had to stick to the female lead's policy, she couldn't waver.
Even if the female lead looked pitifully at her, she couldn't change.
Even though they were living in the same house, she had to become the most unfamiliar familiar person with the female protagonist.
Dai Shiyuan made a firm determination and began to organize the clothes she brought.
After more than two hours, she finally finished arranging her new room. Dai Shiyuan smiled satisfactorily and comfortably lay down on the bed.
After resting for a while, it was time to eat.
Dai Shiyuan opened her phone to order takeout, but after searching for a while, she realized that there was no such thing in this era.
If she wanted to eat, she had to either cook for herself or go out to eat.
Although she knew how to cook, she didn't dare to do it in front of the female lead.
According to her identity as a wealthy young lady, she shouldn't know how to cook, and should only be able to make simple porridge.
Dai Shiyuan thought about it anxiously, when suddenly she smelled the aroma of braised fish, making her unable to resist the urge to drool.
This must be the female lead cooking.
When the female lead finished cooking, she would definitely invite her to eat.
Dai Shiyuan frowned, considering whether or not she should refuse the female lead's invitation.
Before she could make up her mind, there was a knock on the door, followed by the gentle voice of the female lead, "Xiaoyuan, dinner is ready, come out and eat."
Dai Shiyuan could detect a hint of amusement in her voice.
Thinking about her cold attitude towards the female lead earlier, Dai Shiyuan couldn't help but admire the female lead's ability to self-repair. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to endure the male lead's mother's poisonous tongue.
The aroma outside became stronger and stronger, and Dai Shiyuan was starting to have a hard time resisting her hunger.
However, the thought of the dangerous feeling of being alone with the female lead made her not want to go out. She shouted loudly, "I'm not hungry!"
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach growled loudly, but fortunately, the female lead couldn't hear it.
Dai Shiyuan quickly took a sip of water to suppress her hunger. She had to keep rejecting the female lead and absolutely could not sit alone with her for dinner.
Hearing this, Shan Yaxin's eyes were cold, but her voice remained as gentle as ever. "Xiaoyuan, if you don't eat, your stomach will be hungry. You are at the age of growth, so you need to eat on time. If your parents knew you didn't eat dinner, they would blame me for not taking good care of you."
At the end of her words, Dai Shiyuan sensed a familiar sense of grievance and couldn't help but slightly frown.
The female lead always put on a pitiful appearance, with a perpetual victim expression on her face. Although in the book, the female lead was really abused by various people, Dai Shiyuan couldn't stand this kind of "woe is me" female lead.
Dai Shiyuan pretended not to hear and didn't respond from her bed.
Shan Yaxin waited for a while, but when no one came out, she continued in a soft voice, "Xiaoyuan, I'll leave some food for you. Come out and eat when you feel like it."
Dai Shiyuan nodded, listening to the sound of the female lead's footsteps as she left, and then sat up from the bed to take another sip of water.
After being busy all afternoon and exhausting a lot of energy, she was really hungry now. If it weren't for her sheer willpower, she would have succumbed to the temptation of the female lead's food.
Dai Shiyuan smelled the scent in the air and pursed her lips tightly. She flipped over and went to sleep.
As long as she fell asleep, she wouldn't be hungry anymore.
After tossing and turning for a while, she was starting to feel sleepy, but her hungry stomach kept reminding her and preventing her from falling asleep.
Dai Shiyuan reluctantly opened her eyes and touched her stomach. She looked at the time and it was already 9 o'clock in the evening. There was no sound outside, so the female lead must have been asleep.
Dai Shiyuan was pleased and hesitated for a while, but ultimately couldn't bear her hunger anymore. She quickly got up and left the room.
Opening the door, she looked around like a thief. She waited at the door for a while but didn't see the female lead come out. She quietly slipped into the kitchen.
Afraid of the female lead hearing her footsteps, she almost tiptoed forward. She finally sneaked into the kitchen, carefully turned on the light, and smelled the aroma of the food.
The female lead had actually kept the rice and dishes warm in the rice cooker. Dai Shiyuan looked at the warm food and felt a sense of gratitude.
In the past, when she came back from work, sometimes she was too busy or too tired to cook and had to make do with cold leftovers in the refrigerator. It wasn't that she didn't want to eat warm food, but sometimes she didn't have time. It was common for her to suddenly have a client call her over when she was in the middle of eating.
In just two years, she had developed stomach problems. Sometimes she would lie in bed alone at night, in pain and unable to sleep, even when taking painkillers.
Every time her stomach acted up, she would be in so much pain that she wanted to cry. At that time, she wished there was someone who could be with her, even if it was just to hand her the first cup of warm water.
Dai Shiyuan lightly lifted the corners of her lips, her eyes filled with joy as she took out the food. She just took a bite with her chopsticks when suddenly a voice came from behind.
"Xiaoyuan, does the food still taste good?"
Coughing, Dai Shiyuan was scared and choked. A timely cup of water was handed to her, and she instinctively took it and drank it.
After finishing the drink, she realized that the female lead was standing just one step behind her.
Wearing a white nightgown, it looked eerie under the light, especially appearing suddenly, making her think of a female ghost inexplicably.
Dai Shiyuan couldn't help but shiver, her chopstick-holding hand unsure of what to do.
Now that she's been caught by the female lead, she doesn't have the face to continue eating.
"Xiaoyuan, take your time to eat. If it's not enough, I'll stir-fry some more for you," Shan Yaxin revealed a gentle smile, sat opposite Dai Shiyuan, with a pair of clear and bright eyes that were even more beautiful than the stars outside.
Dai Shiyuan lowered her head, her brows lightly furrowed, her eyes tightly fixed on the warm food in front of her. After a while, she finally picked up her chopsticks.
If she hadn't snuck out to eat, she might have been able to endure it.
Now that the delicious food is right in front of her, even if the female lead is sitting in front of her, she can't resist the temptation of food.
No matter what happens, she will eat first and then deal with it.
Dai Shiyuan pursed her lips, gripped her chopsticks tightly, and started eating.
She tried to lower her gaze to avoid meeting the female lead's eyes.
Fortunately, when she was at the villa, she was used to being watched by many people while eating. Even if the female lead was staring at her, it didn't affect her appetite at all.
Mainly, she was too hungry and didn't care that much.
Shan Yaxin sat upright, looking at the not-so-elegant way of eating across from her, and a thought suddenly came to her mind.
If she took a picture of her little sister-in-law's current eating habits and sent it to her mother-in-law, her little sister-in-law would probably be scolded.
However, she could only think about it and wouldn't actually do it.
What she needs to do now is to prevent this woman from causing trouble, not indirectly encouraging her to become worse.
Besides, some of her sister-in-law's methods are really hard to understand.
At first, she desperately wanted to go to another city to study, but now she doesn't want to live with her anymore.
These behaviors are very unusual, even for her past life.
She couldn't help but suspect that the younger sister-in-law was also reborn...
But after observing for a while, she didn't seem like it.
Shan Yaxin's eyes showed a hint of doubt, which quickly disappeared. She poured a glass of water and said softly, "Xioayuan, eat slowly, be careful not to choke."
"Ok." Dai Shiyuan made a sound from her nose, took the water and drank it.
When she looked up, she saw the gentle face and smile of the female lead, and her heart suddenly trembled.
It's only the first day of living together, and she's already let her guard down...
This is really dangerous.
Dai Shiyuan stood up suddenly, quickly said "I'm full," and turned to walk towards the room.
She can't be so careless next time. She must stay away from the female lead.
TO BE CONTINUE...
