Chapter 87 One of the World's Protagonists
In the courtyard, Lu Xun kept his eyes on the thin figure for a long time.
Even Ji Li and Murong Yan who were standing by noticed Lu Xun's eyes.
She was a thin girl. If the second sister was thin, then she was the kind that looked a little sickly, a little malnourished, and looked like skin and bones.
If she stood side by side with Ji Li, Ji Li looked like a rice ear in a good year, full and happy, while she was just a thin stalk, weak and fragile.
She didn't look very good, and her face lacked some of its rosiness.
Although the face was slightly different from the one in his memory, Lu Xun felt that he would not make a mistake with the look and temperament.
He waved his hand, signaling the waiter to go out first and the girl to stay.
The waiter kept looking back as he walked away, as if he was a little worried. Finally, after hesitating for a long time and taking a deep breath, he stopped, turned around, nodded, and said:
"Master, this little girl is dumb, very stupid, and very timid. If there is anything she did wrong, please... please..."
He was a little unable to continue.
Lu Xun smiled. He didn't expect that this waiter looked like a sly guy, but he actually had a good heart. So he said, "You can go out without worry. She has a fairy fate with her."
The waiter was relieved then, and when he left, he glanced at the girl with a hint of joy, but also envy.
The grandfather of this thin girl used to be a kitchen helper in a restaurant, but he passed away a few months ago. The little girl was left alone and helpless, so she stayed in the restaurant to help out.
The waiter usually loves to order her around, but he also takes the best care of her. Perhaps it's because she is one of the lowest-ranking employees in the store that she feels so conflicted.
The reason why she was so thin and looked malnourished was because she had been in poor health since childhood and was weak and sickly. It was not that the people in the restaurant abused her.
Lu Xun was sitting, and the mute girl was standing. She lowered her head and didn't even dare to look at Lu Xun.
When she just came in, she took a quick look and was shocked by Lu Xun's appearance. Then she almost tripped, which made her feel scared.
Lu Xun tried to get her basic information, but to his surprise it popped up.
The girl's name was Lin Chan, a very simple name. She was given this name because the cicadas chirped loudly on the day she was born.
“It’s Lin Chan indeed.” Lu Xun said in his heart.
The reason why Lu Xun paid special attention to her and called her over was because she was very special, one of the most special NPCs in the entire "Tianchen".
Her future achievements will not be lower than Xiao Ran, and may even be better than Xiao Ran!
It is estimated that in the later stages of the game, she should also be one of the important NPCs in the main storyline.
And her sect is - the Demon Sect!
Yes, she is a member of the Demon Sect.
“So she was working in Lai Fu Restaurant. Maybe later a disciple of the Demon Sect discovered by chance that this girl had a very high aptitude for cultivation, so he brought her back to the sect.” Lu Xun guessed in his heart.
“No wonder there was no such person as Lin Chan when I asked around in the sect. It turns out she hasn’t even joined the sect yet!” Lu Xun said in his heart.
Lin Chan's reputation among the players was actually greater than Xiao Ran's, because she had so many unique qualities. Lu Xun also had a certain understanding of this.
How should I put it? This skinny girl is really weird.
He looked at Lin Chan again. Perhaps she felt Lu Xun's gaze, so she lowered her head even lower.
“She is really thin now, the kind of thin that is unhealthy.” Lu Xun said in his heart. Even her hair was slightly yellowish.
Moreover, this pitiful look made him think of Lu Yu who seemed particularly helpless when his parents had just passed away.
"Have you eaten?" Lu Xun asked suddenly.
Lin Chan still lowered her head, her two small hands gently grasping the corners of her clothes. She knew that Lu Xun was of noble status, so she didn't dare to lie and shook her head slightly.
"Then sit down and eat together." Lu Xun smiled, a warm smile.
Lin Chan looked up at him and couldn't help but stare at him in a daze. After she came to her senses, she quickly lowered her head again, and her two little hands clenched the corners of his clothes even tighter.
She had never seen anyone so good-looking, and Lu Xun's eyes were so gentle when he looked at her just now, which made her feel warm from the bottom of her heart.
But the other person's status was too noble and he was so handsome that she still felt a strong sense of distance and fear.
She didn't dare to disobey Lu Xun's words, so she sat down on the stone bench with her head still lowered. Although she picked up the bowl and chopsticks obediently, she kept eating rice and didn't even pick up any vegetables.
Even before picking up the dishes, he wiped his hands carefully on his clothes several times.
She ate very slowly, trying her best not to make any noise, even the sound of chewing was controlled.
Mortals are naturally in awe of practitioners, and she seemed too timid and cowardly, afraid of upsetting Lu Xun. Just now, the chopsticks accidentally hit the wall of the bowl, making a slightly louder sound, and she shuddered in fear.
Lu Xun suspected that if he didn't say a word, she would probably eat in silence, finish all the rice, and not touch any meat or vegetable dishes.
How to say it, she didn't dare to use the chopsticks she had used to pick up the dishes that Lu Xun had picked up.
This little mute lives so cautiously .
Perhaps it was because she had no family left in this world and she was helpless. She had been dumb since childhood, so this cowardice, timidity, and inferiority complex were almost engraved in her bones.
Lu Xun suddenly felt that asking her to sit at the same table for dinner was a bit embarrassing for her.
Because of the huge difference in status, even if she didn't have that kind of personality and was just an ordinary person, she would feel very uncomfortable.
But since she is already eating, we can't let her eat only white rice. If you don't pick some for yourself, then I'll pick some for you. You should eat what I pick for you, right?
He picked up some meat and vegetable dishes for Lin Chan. Lin Chan lowered her head and watched Lu Xun's hands. This time she really didn't dare not to eat.
After eating, Lin Chan immediately stood up and started cleaning up.
She kept her head down the whole time and her body was a little tense.
At this moment, the black rope tied to the scabbard floated up and poked her gently.
Lin Chan suddenly felt an itch on the back of his hand, and then he looked and saw that it was the rope on the scabbard that was poking him. He was so scared that the dishes in his hands almost fell to the ground!
"Stop messing around." Lu Xun said to the scabbard.
The black rope on the scabbard immediately stopped moving, as if nothing had happened.
Lu Xun actually understood why the scabbard did this. It was not that it wanted to scare her on purpose, but because as a scabbard, it had a certain curiosity about Lin Chan and couldn't help being curious.
Because, this little mute who lives so cautiously, with low self-esteem and cowardice, is truly...
——Born as a sword fetus!
