Chapter 120 is titled "Nameless".
After the young man finished bathing and washed his face, Ah Fu and the servants were so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths for a long time.
The person before him bore no resemblance to his previous disheveled appearance; he was clearly a handsome young man with clear features and a refined demeanor. He straightened his clothes...
Shortly after, Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie brought in the food. Upon seeing the scene amidst the rising steam, the two froze, completely dumbfounded.
Xiaodie swallowed hard, pursed her lips, glanced at Lin Qianqian discreetly, and then tiptoed to place the food on the table.
Lin Qianqian slowly put down her food plate, her gaze fixed on the man, causing him to blush and lower his head shyly.
Lin Qianqian asked softly, "Are you hungry? Sit down quickly!" After saying that, she hurriedly stepped forward and led the man to a seat.
The man stared at the table full of dishes, hesitated slightly, patted his belly, and looked at Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie. Only after Lin Qianqian nodded slightly did he dare to eat.
Shockingly, he pounced on the food like a hungry wolf, grabbing it directly with his hands, only to be scalded and cry out in alarm.
Lin Qianqian frowned, about to offer some words of comfort, when Xiaodie tugged at her sleeve: "Miss, look at him! He's not human at all! In my opinion, he looks more like... a beast!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian frowned, her face showing displeasure. She glanced reproachfully at Xiaodie, her eyes filled with pity and sorrow, thinking to herself, "I wonder what hardships he has endured before, alas..."
Lin Qianqian stepped forward gracefully and gently took the bowl and plate from the man's hands. Upon seeing this, the man looked anxious, making a gurgling sound as if saying, "Give me food! Give me food!" Tears welled up in his eyes.
Lin Qianqian stroked his head, smiled slightly, and said gently, "Don't use your hands, I'll teach you!" After saying that, she handed the chopsticks to the man, patiently demonstrated how to hold chopsticks, and then taught him how to pick up food.
The man initially struggled to grasp the technique, failing repeatedly. Extremely anxious, he even burst into tears. Lin Qianqian, however, gently comforted him, "Don't rush, don't rush, take your time, it's like this~"
With Lin Qianqian's gentle words of comfort and careful guidance, the man finally picked up a piece of meat with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. At that moment, his eyes crinkled, and he laughed heartily, like a little child.
Seeing him like this, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but purse her lips and smile happily.
Xiaodie, who was watching from the side, also felt very gratified. Everyone looked at each other, finding the matter quite incredible, and were deeply moved by the man's transformation.
The man then became more and more skilled with chopsticks, but he still ate very hastily, wolfing down his food as if he had never had a full meal before.
Looking at him like this, Lin Qianqian couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions. She wondered what kind of hardships he had endured to be so hungry. Her pity for him grew stronger, and many thoughts lingered in her mind for a long time.
After the man finished his meal, Lin Qianqian led him to the dressing table and picked up a wooden comb to style his hair. Looking at the man's face in the mirror, Lin Qianqian thought to herself: Such a handsome appearance is truly unparalleled. With each glance, her heart flutters more, like ripples spreading endlessly across a spring lake.
She parted her lips slightly and asked, "What's your name?"
The man remained silent.
Lin Qianqian felt increasingly suspicious. Could it be that he really couldn't speak?
Xiaodie muttered from the side, "Miss, I told you long ago that he must be mute! But you wouldn't believe me."
Lin Qianqian gazed at the man, her heart filled with suspicion and sympathy, and gently comforted him: "Don't be afraid. From now on, you will no longer be a slave to be beaten and scolded. Stay in this mansion, and I will protect you."
Upon hearing this, the man remained silent, but a hint of gratitude and emotion flickered in his eyes, as if he had finally seen a glimmer of light after groping in the darkness for a long time. Warmth gradually grew in his heart, and he began to have some expectations and hopes for the future.
Xiao Die moved to Lin Qianqian's side and lowered her voice, saying, "Miss, do you really want to keep him? The Prince will definitely not agree. Besides, if word gets out that you're taking in a strange man, it will damage your reputation."
Lin Qianqian raised her eyebrows slightly, her expression stern, and replied softly but firmly: "I will handle things with the prince myself. As for my reputation, I only seek to act with a clear conscience. If I were to abandon him in his current situation, would I be a benevolent person? Do not mention this matter again. My mind is made up, and you need not say more."
Xiaodie, though still worried, dared not utter another word, secretly concerned and afraid of the consequences her mistress's actions might cause.
Lin Qianqian lowered her head slightly, her brows furrowed gently, and after thinking for a while, she murmured while resting her chin on her hand, "Since we're going to keep him in the manor, we have to give him a name, but what should we call him?" After saying that, her eyes were full of thought.
Xiaodie was also pouting beside her, trying hard to think.
After a moment, Lin Qianqian seemed to have a sudden inspiration. Her eyes lit up, and she excitedly exclaimed, "How about this, let's call him 'Nameless'!" Then, she walked up to the man and said gently, "From now on, you'll be called Nameless, okay?"
The man didn't speak, but a bright smile bloomed on his face, a smile as bright and warm as the morning sun piercing through the clouds. He seemed quite pleased with the name. This smile made Lin Qianqian feel happy too, as if she had discovered an invaluable treasure.
