: Enjoying Food, One of the Perks of Being Alive
Yun Yue and Chun Jian were slightly surprised when they felt that their Young Master was more amiable and friendlier as they bowed before exiting the room.
Sima You Yue sat eagerly awaiting in the room, her mind filled with a fantasy of all sorts of delicacies. However when Yun Yue brought the food in, her mind reeled. Afterwhich she blanked out momentarily as she went into a state of shock.
"This..This is the food you prepared for me?" She asked cautiously, as a trembling finger pointed to the food on the table with dishes that looked as though they had only been cooked and blanched in water.
Yesterday, she only had the simple meat porridge and did not really know what the food here was like. When she saw the plain dishes spread out before her, she was shocked to the core.
"Please forgive us!" Both maids quickly dropped their knees onto the round as they started knocking their heads onto the ground while begging for mercy.
"What are you doing?! I'm not blaming you, quickly get up!" Sima You Yue cried out when she saw the huge reaction of the two maids.
Only then did she see from the memory that the previous Sima You Yue was very strict and this has caused fear to be deeply etched into the hearts of these two maids and their reflex actions kicked in when they saw their Young Master's unhappy expression.
"Thank you, Young Master." Two girls got up from the ground, with fear still lingering in their hearts.
Sima You Yue no longer bothered about the two of them as her left hand clutched her stomach, while her right hand held up a pair of chopsticks as she tried to pick a dish that looked palatable as she scoured the food placed before her. However after ten minutes, she gave up as she helplessly put the pair of chopsticks back down as she called out: "Give me two fruits instead."
After eating the two fruits,Sima You Yue rolled on the bed and started to mutter grudgingly as she felt her empty stomach: "I still need proper food"
"Tsk tskYou have always been so picky about food, you're already in the divine ranks and can survive even without food." A gentle doting voice suddenly rang out in her mind, as if transcending time and space, a familiar memory flashed by.
"Whose voice is this? Is this another memory of this body's?" Sima You Yue thought to herself, however she could not shake of a nagging feeling that it was not, this body was that of a trash, how could it be divine ranked? Who did this voice belong to? And who was it talking to?
When dinner was still challenging to swallow, Sima You Yue could not take it any longer as she went into the kitchen herself and stirfried two simple dishes.
This was the first time since she has eaten so full since arriving in this new world.
As she drifted off to sleep at night, she had the same dream as the night before, with a shrill voice screaming out the same words: "Sima You Yue DIE!!!"
She could recognize that this voice belonged to her past life.
"Ximen You Yue. Please die for me. Only when you are dead then I will be the one and only acclaimed genius in this whole world! Hahahahahahahaha"
Who was this? Why did she not have any impression at all?
"Go to hell!"
The two voices resounded in her mind, overlapping each other as the voices grew louder and louder as the cackling and screams echoed and she jolted awake from her nightmare. Her whole body was drenched with sweat as her clothes clung on to her. Her confused eyes darted around as a trace of sadness and loss was reflected in them.
"Why is it these two names again?" She whispered.
This night, as the moon hung high in the sky, she could no longer sleep a wink. As long as she closed her eyes, the two names resounded in her mind.
Sima You Yue, Ximen You Yue.
She tried to scour through all her memories but there were only traces of Sima You Yue however it was a complete blank for Ximen You Yue. Whether it was the past life of her own or this body's there was not even a hint of such a name in either of them.
As she tossed throughout the night, when she looked into the mirror the very next morning, she found a pair of puffy eyes resembling a panda staring back at her. While waiting for breakfast with her Grandfather and Brothers, she chatted a bit and cheered them up.
"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, why haven't you guys gone to the Academy? Big Brother, Second Brother, don't you need to head out today?" Sima You Yue asked but before she could look at them properly, she got distracted as her eyes rested on the dishes on the table that the maids placed before her. They looked pretty much the same as yesterday's unpalatable breakfast. Her brows furrowed deeply as she grudgingly picked up her chopsticks and stared intently at the dishes before her.
"We were waiting for you, we had to make sure that you were alright first. We still have some time, it's still not too late to leave." Big Brother Sima You Qi replied.
