Chapter Twelve: The Young Master is Looking at Me

  That look again——

  Wishing Xiao Wei remembered when she just came out of her own little hut in the morning...

  Ka-chunk, Xiao Wei had just closed the door when Gu Haitian brushed past her and suddenly bumped into her.

  Xiao Wei rubbed her sore shoulder and looked at Hai Lin in confusion, asking: "Hai Lin, why did you suddenly bump into me?"

  Hai Lin turned his back to Xiao Wei, slowly turning his head, his deep brown eyes filled with hatred as he stared at Xiao Wei, his fists also clenched.

  Xiao Wei saw that she suddenly showed an unfriendly expression to herself, a little scared and also surprised. The usual Hai Lin was not like this, why did it suddenly change today?

  "Hairin, what's wrong? Hairin..."

  Gu Hai Lin ignored Xiao Wei and ran off in a huff.

  Recollecting memories, Xiaowei was puzzled: What's wrong with Hailin? Why is he staring at me with hostility? This morning during roll call was the same, Hailin's eyes clearly showed that he disliked me.

  She didn't think much, she was about to start work. After dinner, after finishing her maid's work, Xiao Wei returned to her own 10-square-meter small room, hung up the repaired school uniform, and looked at the dazzling school emblem, she couldn't help but indulge in it.

  "Alright... stop wasting time daydreaming and focus on reviewing and previewing to keep up with the course schedule! Go take a shower first, then come back and study!"

  After a pleasant bath, as soon as she returned to her small cottage, the scene in front of her made her feel somewhat terrified.

  Terror-stricken eyes widened, printing out those pieces of school uniform that had been cut to shreds and were scattered all over.

  The towel in her hand fell, and Wei couldn't believe she took heavy steps, kneeling in front of her tattered school uniform, her hands trembling as she picked up the fragments of her uniform.

  "My school uniform, I've only worn it for a day, how could it be... " My nose turned sour and my eyes welled up with tears as my gaze fell on the twisted emblem, and the tears poured down.

  "Why did I have to do this? Who did I offend?" Tears dripped onto the back of her hand, and suddenly, Xiao Wei's pupils dilated as the image of Hai Lin's hostile eyes from that morning floated before her.

  "Is it Hailin? But why did she want to cut up my school uniform? Why is she looking at me with that kind of gaze?"

  "What to do, the school uniform is torn like this, should I tell mom about it? But if I let mom know, she'll definitely report it to Mrs. Fixing. Clothes being cut up is considered a kind of bullying, and in our school, it's absolutely not allowed. If we get caught... "

  Xiao Wei hastily went to lock the door to avoid being discovered. Looking at the scattered fabric on the ground, she wiped away her tears and thought carefully for a moment. She bit her lower lip, and her gaze fell directly onto her phone.

  The soft and soothing music started, Ye Jingwen, who was painting and reading at the same time, picked up her phone with a calm expression: "Xiaowei, what's up?"

  "Jingwen, something big has happened and you must help me—"

  She hung up the phone, and immediately tidied up the room, stuffing all the school uniform fragments into her backpack, pretending nothing had happened. She took out Sheng's textbook and began to study seriously.

  Now, she doesn't want to care who dislikes her so much, even if she might have guessed in her heart, but she doesn't want to stir up trouble, after all, everyone is a maid who is doing their best for the Su family, and their hearts should be focused on the Su family.

  Serious about reading and keeping up with the pace, is what Jingwen asked of her. Everything else can be left to Jingwen. She believes in her good friend, so she cannot let down her good friend's heart, she must work even harder.

  On summer mornings, the dawn always comes especially quickly. When the sky is barely bright, and the female servants have just woken up, Xiao Wei, who had set an alarm in her mind to wake herself up, rushed out of the Xiu family's gate wearing her nightclothes at the fastest speed possible.

  "Here! I'm off!" With a flick of her wrist, Ye Jingwen tossed the bag aside and pedaled away on her bicycle, narrowing her tired eyes as she left this luxurious place that didn't match her style.

  As soon as she received the bag, Xiaowei rushed back to her small house without stopping, locked the door, and took out the clothes from the bag. Her eyes sparkled immediately, and her mood was excited and surging.

  No wonder Ye Jingwen is a handyman! In just one night, she made a set of identical Xiu Sheng school uniforms for her, and even the badges were done perfectly!

  "Just as I was about to say a word of thanks, Jingwen, I love you so much." Tears gushed up excitedly, and at this moment the door was knocked, she could only force her tears back and open the door calmly.

  She gently opened the door and saw Gu Hai Lin standing at the entrance with a cold expression. She hadn't even changed into her maid uniform yet.

  "Hairin, you..."

  Gu Hai Lin ignored Xiao Wei's astonishment, pushed her into the house, and saw the neatly arranged Xiu Sheng school uniform on the bed. She clenched her fists tightly, turned her head to glare at Xiao Wei, with a mix of hostility, envy, jealousy, and hatred in her eyes.

  "Your school uniform wasn't cut up, was it? I'm telling you now, it was me who cut it up. Aren't you angry?"

  "Hairin, what's wrong with you?" Xiaowei closed the door, afraid that others would hear her words, in case Mrs. knew, Hairin would be driven out of the Xiujia.

  "Did I offend you somewhere? I'm telling you sorry. You cut up the school uniform, that's not good."

  Xiao Wei reached out to pull her, but she fiercely pushed her hand away.

  "Why don't you go tell the mistress? Why take advantage of this to drive me out of the Xiu family? I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it! Zhuo Xiao Wei, I hate you, starting from yesterday, because you stole my job! You'd better drive me out of the Xiu family now, otherwise, I will think of all sorts of ways to deal with you!"

  Gu Hai Lin let out a remark, raised his confident and pretentious smile, cast a disdainful glance, and left the personal maid's room that only Xiao Wei could have.

  Xiao Wei let out a weak sigh and sat down on the bed, stroking the school uniform Jingwen had stayed up all night to make for her. She didn't know if it was right to trouble her friend like this, but she knew that if using the uniform being cut as an excuse to drive Hailin out of the Xu family, she wouldn't be able to do it.

  Put on school uniform, stand in front of the mirror, and wish Xiao Wei to raise her own smile. It's another new day, she needs to cheer up and work harder.

  A sad backpack, as soon as she opened the door, she saw her dear mother walking towards her room.

  "Xiao Wei, why are you up so early today?" Aunt Zhu asked in surprise at her daughter, who had left the house without waiting for her to call her.

  "Since I'm going to school with Young Master, I shouldn't make him wait."

  Aunt smiled and nodded, stroking her daughter's beautiful hair, her gaze moved to her school uniform, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, but looking at her daughter's radiant appearance, she didn't ask much. She put away her own doubts and took her daughter's hand.

  "Let's go! Get ready to welcome Young Master and then head to school with him."

  Still packed with two rows of people, welcoming the young master downstairs and sending off the young master out the door. Xiaowei followed behind Xiuyuchen, feeling that she had gained a lot of prestige by association.

  Sitting in the dedicated car, she was again face to face with Xiuzi Chen. Xiao Wei hugged her school bag tightly, her heart racing with nervousness, her cheeks flushed with a red glow, and she dared not look at him. As long as she looked at Young Master for more than a second, she would become shy and her cheeks would turn red.

  Xiū Wèi Chén put his right leg on top of his left, hugged his chest with both hands, and gazed at Zhu Xiǎo Wēi's school uniform with half-closed eyes.

  Xiao Wei hung her head, her lips moving restlessly, and as soon as she got nervous, her mouth felt dry and she wanted to drink water. However, considering yesterday's run to the bathroom, she still endured it and insisted on waiting until she went to class before drinking!

  She also didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her, and it seemed to be the gaze coming from the young master's direction.

  Her restless eyes darted back and forth, she couldn't help but raise her gaze, coincidentally meeting Xiu Ye Chen's line of sight. She quickly withdrew her gaze, her eyes blinking rapidly, the heat on her face rising, her cheeks becoming even more flushed.

  "Heavens, is the young master looking at me? Is he really looking at me? Am I mistaken? Why would the young master look at me? What's he looking at me for? Does my face have something on it, or...or..."

  Suddenly, a calm voice echoed in her ear: "Xiao Wei, you must take the initiative! If your family's young master looks at you, don't be shy, make eye contact with him and let him see your face clearly. Then, take the initiative to ask him what he wants, and make him deepen his impression of you!"
