Embroidery Girl
chapter 15: may 'er does not dare

Tang Li with her cold face walked across Xin Mei. She was not interested in Xin Mei's question, and as if she thought it was non-existent.

Seeing that, he was a little disappointed, but he couldn't do anything. He then followed Tang Li walking while grasping the sword in his chest.

When it was under the steps, it suddenly sounded an uncomfortable voice from behind Tang Li. He turned to look at the lowered Xin Mei. Both of his cheeks were flushed and both of his hands were behind him. His feet moved erratically in silence. He looked like a very beautiful little boy with both cheeks blushing red like that. A soft voice like a 7-year-old child comes out of his mouth, “I'm hungry.”

Tang Li then turned around, as she began to step up, Xin Mei again spoke. “I am hungry. I can't walk anymore. In the morning I did not eat at all. If I don't eat, I can't continue the journey.”

Tang Li sighed she turned around. “who told you to leave early?” tang Li's question wasn't very firm but it had already made Xin Mei a little frightened.

After a moment of silence, Xin Mei replied hesitantly, “that's because I'm afraid that strange man snatched my sword. If he finds out the sword and the statue are in my hands, he won't give me to carry it. He will punish me too. You must know how thieves are treated if caught?”

Tang Li wanted to say, ‘who told you to steal his valuables? If it wasn't for the teacher being so good to you, maybe you'd just be a lump of meat today’ but he wouldn't have taken it out. The shame is so high if you say that. He wanted to be cold in front of Xin Mei, and also iron-hearted and extremely ruthless.

Her feelings still hated him, but she also felt sorry for him sometimes. He began to wonder what caused it to be like this. If the beauty of the girl in front of him did indeed make someone tempted, but she was not interested at all.

After a moment of silence Tang Li sighed. “I don't have.” She was about to leave but a soft and white and graceful hand pulled on her robe. He glimpsed at those graceful nails.

“aku hungry. My stomach hurts. If I could find some food, I wouldn't ask for your help. And who would want to ask for help with a depraved man like you.”

“I don't have.”

Hearing that, Xin Mei's face was full of disappointment. “Good, Good. If you don't give me a little food, you can leave now. But, I'm not going to go follow you. I'll go find food myself.”

After saying that, Xin Mei went in the opposite direction to Tang Li's. Tang Li could only sigh. He roughly pulled Han fu Xin Mei's cloth and said, “wait here! I'll get you some food.”

After that, in an instant, Tang Li disappeared without a trace. He is like an air that is easily lost and easily flown.

Xin Mei smiled and laughed crisply as Tang Li was already not in front of her. Although the man was cold-hearted, he would never have expected his attitude to change over time. With her more gentle demeanor, she would use it to find a crack and kill him. Lives must be paid for, nothing else.

He then sat beautifully on the steps, causing his long Han fu cloth to decompose on the ground.

He inserted his right hand into the hole of his left shirt, taking out a beautiful wooden comb with a flower carving. He smiled seeing it. He got it by stealing it at Liu Fang's house. He gently moved his hair forward and gently combed it while listening to the birds chirping in the morning.

After he finished doing so, he rolled it up, then took out a skewer of the conde on his yaoda. The skewer he got when he was at Liu fang's house again. She really is a thief girl.

The size was not too long, and with the skill of hiding it, made it invisible at all. At the end was a flower carving and there was a two pearl hanger that was very beautiful.

“It's been very fitting. Next time, I'll fix it. Mom, I can make myself makeup. Who said I wouldn't be able to do it? This girl is a smart child like her father, mother should not underestimate me anymore.”

When she was little, her mother always mocked her for never putting on makeup. He's always gonna be looking for his mom when there's a show. With her comb and skewer, she would always look for her mother and plead with her.

“If you don't want to, how can I see you doing it, and how can I do makeup without you showing me how?”

“You've always been like that. It's been the tenth time, you come wanting in makeup and always say that as an excuse. Why don't you just have a waiter in your room, my dear?”

“.... mother, why did mother say ten times? This is the second time I've asked Mom. Besides, servants, I don't like it. I prefer to be made up by mom, mom is great at makeup. If the mother opens the salon, mei’er is sure, there will be a lot of customers who will come. Mother..please..” she stretched out her hand holding a comb and a konde stitch.

“What did you say? Twice? This is the result if you never learn to count. Why don't you learn to count?”

“...I don't like. Besides, if I could count to two only, up to any time, I asked mom to decorate me, it would always be two.”

“Why?”

“....Because, I can only count to two, so whatever, I ask, will always be two to me.”

“Dumb girl, aren't you afraid if you become stupid?”

Little Xin Mei was silent for a moment. He looked at his mother for a while before finally answering, “No mother, I'm not afraid of being stupid. I've become a fool, why am I afraid of being a fool, am I not a fool? Everything is so too, starting from fool.”

“Oh...you've dared to fight mother?” ask mom in a seductive tone.

“No, no, mei’er not dare.”

“Then?”

“Mei A.s.ter just said the truth,” Xin Mei replied hesitantly.

“Huh... well, today's mother is very lazy to argue with you.” Xin Mei's mother held Xin Mei's left hand gently. “Today, this beautiful girl should be prettier than before. No reason whatsoever.”

When his mother said that, they were already walking towards the white glowing door. Slowly, the door closed and the room darkened
