Maya felt a little itchy, but she didn’t dodge. Instead, she explained to Yue Xin, “Everyone here is wearing masks and hiding their trump cards. If they look weak, they might stab you back. A big guy who looks strong might fall with a punch. Don’t be fooled by appearances.” Maya dragged Yue Xin, who was still poking her muscles, off the bed.
“Let’s go. Get up and move around. You’ve been in the room for too long. Even if you’re in prison, you still have to live well.”
Yue Xin was dragged to the gym by Maya. Although it was a gym, many things inside were not for fitness. There were also various knives and spears. They were just short of guns.
Maya told Yue Xin to rest on the chair. Then, she changed into tight sportswear and began to exercise.
Only then did Yue Xin see that Maya had many scars on her body. The shapes and sizes of the scars were different, and there were especially many on her back.
Maya noticed Yue Xin’s gaze and explained, “That’s why I reminded you not to casually expose your back to others. Otherwise, you’ll become like me.” Yue Xin didn’t answer. Instead, she sat on the chair in a daze.
Maya didn’t say anything. She officially began to exercise. First, she warmed up. Then she ran, practiced her legs, practiced her back. Finally, she practiced a set of punches.
Although Yue Xin didn’t understand, she felt that Maya’s boxing was very imposing and ornamental. Hence, she stared at Maya quietly.
Maya was sweating all over after she finished her boxing. When she grabbed the towel, she saw Yue Xin staring at her. She asked in confusion, “What’s wrong?”
Yue Xin replied honestly, “You looked very good just now.”
Maya was stunned for a moment. She instinctively asked, “Am I usually not good -looking?”
Yue Xin said, “You’re usually good-looking too.”
Only then did Maya realize that Yue Xin was trying to say that she looked good when she was boxing. She wiped her sweat and asked, “Do you want to learn? I can teach you.”
Yue Xin shook her head. “No.” She was about to die anyway, so there was no point in learning this.
Maya didn’t force her. She looked at the time and invited Yue Xin to dinner.
Yue Xin still refused. If Maya had been rejected by Yue Xin before, she would have gone to the restaurant with the people from Building 2. However, she looked at the obedient Yue Xin and suddenly changed her mind. “Then I won’t eat in the restaurant anymore. Can I go back with you to eat?”
Yue Xin nodded and pressed her earpiece to contact No. 12, asking him to send her food.
Maya heard that Yue Xin had no intention of helping her order, so she could only take the initiative to ask, “Can I order a few dishes and get your prison guard to send them over for me?”
Yue Xin looked at Maya. “What do you want to eat?”
“I want creamy fish pie, spicy bean soup, and creamy cheese and garlic bread.”
Yue Xin conveyed the original words to No. 12. Although No. 12 agreed, Yue Xin still heard a trace of helplessness in his tone. However, she did not care. It had nothing to do with her.
After ordering, Maya said, “I have a table in my room. Do you want to eat in my room? I think you only have one table there. You might not be able to fit those dishes.”
Yue Xin still nodded. It seemed that as long as she was not allowed to leave Building 1, she was a nodding machine.
Maya took Yue Xin to her room. Unlike Yue Xin’s empty room, her room was full of life. There were all kinds of furniture and appliances. There were even decorations on the wall. It looked very harmonious.
Yue Xin’s room was only a habitable place. Maya’s room was a living place, and it looked bigger than Yue Xin’s room.
Maya explained, “I’ve got the wall knocked down so it’ll look more spacious.
You can do it if you want.”
Yue Xin did not answer. She was clearly not interested in the topic of knocking down the wall.
Maya asked Yue Xin to sit on the dining chair and wait while she went to the kitchen to make Yue Xin a pre-dinner snack. The snack looked simple. There were potato chips under it and kiwis, bananas, dragon fruit, strawberries, and yogurt on the top.
“Try it and see if you like it. My last cellmate taught me to make it.”
Maya placed the snack in front of Yue Xin and said jokingly, “Do you need me to test the poison for you?”
Yue Xin looked at the snacks on the plate. Even if one of the fruits was not poisonous, she could not guarantee that the others were not poisonous. She might as well not try.
“You don’t have to.”
Maya didn’t know what Yue Xin was thinking. She just felt that this kid was too trusting. What she didn’t know was that Yue Xin knew that she wouldn’t be assassinated. If she was assassinated, it meant that the end was coming. There was no need for her to resist. She thought about it very clearly.
Hence, Yue Xin ate all four fruits in one go. She was surprised to find that the combination of yogurt and fruits was so stunning.
Maya saw Yue Xin’s eyes light up and found it adorable. “How does it taste? Do you like it?”
Yue Xin nodded. “Delicious!”
Maya said, “Then I’ll make it for you tomorrow.”
Yue Xin said, “I like the yogurt at the top.”
Maya said, “Ah, I see. How about I make you a yogurt salad tomorrow? I have the ingredients.”
Yue Xin replied, “Okay!”
