âMiss, the wind is strong. Letâs go back.â Banxia, who was standing behind me, gently put a coat over my shoulder.
I watched the sunlight jump on the surface of the sea as if it was making its final struggle. In the next moment, the rays appeared to be tired and plunged into the sea. The sea swallowed its golden light and rippled with satisfaction like a giant glutton.
I sighed lightly. It was the same every day.
I put on the sleeves and stretched. âIs there anything good to eat today?â
Banxia pursed her lips and smiled. âDonât worry. Itâs all Missâs favorite. The chef changed again yesterday. I heard from Uncle Lin that he could even cook the Man-Han banquet. Iâm sure youâll be satisfied.â
I was tired. âI donât have any appetite.â
Banxia hurriedly said, âMiss, please take a look first. Perhaps your appetite will return when you take a look at them? Plus, you have to tell them what you donât like so that they can improve next time. Miss, give them a few chances. Theyâll definitely surprise us in the future.â
As I walked, I gave her a side glance. âAre you afraid that they will all be fired? Youâre being too kind!â
Banxia smiled apologetically. âThey are only here trying to find a job. Please donât make things difficult for them.â
I didnât say anything. Banxia was very happy because I had relented. I was just lazy. I didnât want to deal with anything anymore.
âAsk them what food can improve my brain activity and memory. Iâll eat them as medicine.â I told Banxia as I walked lazily.
Banxia immediately perked up. âDonât worry, Miss. The housekeeper knows that. The kitchen has been preparing all sorts of brain-stimulating dishes for you every day.â
I looked at the huge mansion in front of me. It was like a monster crouching under the sunset. I was in a bad mood. âBanxia, can you get me a doctor to crack open my head and fix whatâs broken? I donât want to eat those disgusting things anymore. Even after all those meals, I still canât remember a single thing.â
Banxiaâs smile disappeared, âMiss, you shouldnât say things like that. Iâm sure everything will be fine.â
I didnât say anything.
Banxia carefully looked at my expression. âSo what if Miss canât remember the past. Why must you remember it? I think itâs good that you canât remember it. If I could forget the days when I was beaten and scolded, Iâd be so happy.â
I turned my head to look at Banxia.
Banxia was an orphan. When I picked her up, she was beaten until she was on the verge of death. I treated her back to life and gave her the name Banxia.
My name was Nanxing, and her name was Banxia.
After some healing, Banxia turned out to be a pretty little girl, so I left her by my side to accompany me.
I didnât talk much, but she talked a lot.
She often said childish things to make me happy. I liked her very much.
She was also my best listener. She listened to my thoughts, and she would often give her opinions too. I felt comforted around her.
âBanxia, if you lost something very important, would you want to get it back?â I asked her.
Her eyes blinked, and she was hesitant.
âFor example, your salary last month and your wallet were stolen.. Would you want to get it back?â I asked her patiently.
