Chapter 17 Big and fat

“Little Missy, how was your first day at school?” Butler You asked as soon as he saw An Xiulan coming out of the school gate.

“It was good, Grandpa You,” An Xiulan sighed. Her day was extremely good minus the thirty minutes she had spent running laps of the playground on her very first day at school.

Also, don’t remind her how she had to put up with that cheat prince.

Butler You was an influential man in the country but only An Xiulan could make him want to replace her chauffeur. He had taken this girl as his granddaughter and there was no way he wasn’t going to spoil her rotten.

As they were driving home, her eyes fell on a box placed on the side of the road that had ‘Help us’ written on it.

“Stop the car, Grandpa You,” An Xiulan said and Butler You asked the actual driver to stop the car. She quickly got out of the car to check on the box.

“Little Missy! What happened?” Butler You followed her out of the car.

An Xiulan was kneeling on the ground, staring at the contents of the box with a grim look in her eyes.

“This is…”Butler You had no words to describe this situation. He didn’t even know what to say or think at this time. The box contained at least ten different coloured chicks. It seemed some children had bought them to raise but put them by the side of the road when they failed to raise them for a willing party. They were so tiny that he could hold all ten of them in one hand.

“Little Missy, do you want to eat chickens?” Butler You asked. He was hesitant while asking this question. The last time when he thought the kind young miss was going to raise the cute rabbit as her pet, she surprised all of them by getting the same cute rabbit cooked for lunch.

Now, he didn’t know what she was going to do with these chicks.

“Grandpa You, what are you saying? They are just babies,” An Xiulan said, looking at him with a complex gaze. These little chicks wouldn’t even taste good. And she wouldn’t be able to enjoy her favourite leg piece. First thing first, she would raise them into fat big chickens and then she would enjoy roasted chicken and many other delicacies.

‘Wow, I’m so smart.’ An Xiulan mentally patted her shoulder in applause.

She licked her lips as she eyed the ten chicks that were going to become big and fat chickens in the future.

Sweet and sour chicken.

Roasted chicken.

Chicken curry.

Honey chicken.

Oh my, there were so many options.

What do modern men call their friends?

Buddy!

Looking at the beautiful colourful chicken, she smiled at them. ‘Oh, buddy, we will have so much fun on my plate in the future.’

The lovely chicks who were looking at her in gratitude didn’t know that An Xiulan had decided their fate. All of them were to be fried in a pan once they became big and fat.

“Little missy, are you going to raise these chicks?” Butler You asked her.

An Xiulan nodded. “Can I?”

“Of course, Missy can have anything as long as she wishes,” Butler You replied. Thankfully, she was thinking of raising animals. Although it wasn’t normal for their cute missy to raise chicks, he decided not to think more about this matter as their missy wasn’t a normal being.

She was quite unique.

“Thank you, Grandpa You,” An Xiulan smiled at him brightly and returned home with her beautiful chicks. She made a small home for these chicks in her garden with the help of maids and fed them ‘special worms and insects’ that she caught from the same garden.

While she wasn’t looking at them, the maids would secretly feed those baby chicks some oats and shredded fruits.

Days passed quickly with An Xiulan busy with her new class and school. Headteacher Jin was extremely kind to her. He was giving her time to adjust to the new school before taking strict measures with her. Teacher Wang was very delighted with her vast knowledge of English and was nurturing her by giving her extra homework and tasks in school. She was the English heroine of her class. Everyone would come to her if they wanted to copy her English homework.

As for other subjects…

Well, they were dangling somewhere on the line of failing.

Her Social studies teacher had refused to acknowledge her and her enemy’s presence in the entire class. He would just give both of them weird gazes throughout the class and she still couldn’t understand why.

Slow An Xiulan had no idea that the social studies teacher was looking at her and Han Zixin in a different light ever since he found those obscene materials placed on their desk.
