Yue Xin didn’t take the menu. Instead, she said to Maya, “I’ll eat the same as you.” Without knowing the situation in the restaurant, it was definitely right to eat the same as the princess.

Maya didn’t say anything. She rang the bell and ordered. “Apart from seafood, serve everything else.” She looked at Yue Xin and explained, “It’s best to try all the first prison meals. That way, you can know what you like to eat. By the way, what flavors do you like to eat outside?”

Outside? Yue Xin thought for a moment. She had never thought about what she liked to eat. She only knew what Lu Yu liked, what her parents liked, and what her sister liked…

However, her sister didn’t like any dishes. She thought that all food was equally bad.

“I can eat anything as long as I don’t die from eating.” Yue Xin only had one thought now, or she could wait until she deserved to die.

Maya smiled. “You’re really interesting. Don’t worry. We’re all important commodities. The prison won’t let us die. Just be on guard against other prisoners.”

As the two of them spoke, there was suddenly a sound not far from the dining room. The scream of a person carried the sound of the plate shattering and kept reaching Yue Xin’s ears. She looked over and saw that not far away, a person was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied behind his back. In front of this person, there was another person kneeling, but his hands were not tied.

Therefore, the situation over there was that the people who were not tied up kept hitting another person with plates. There were also surrounding prisoners, but their positions were very ingenious. The prisoners’ positions did not block their vision at all, as if they were deliberately showing them.

Yue Xin moved, and Maya said, “I advise you to mind your own business. You can’t casually show kindness to the weak here. Otherwise, you’ll only bring them more trouble.” Maya had been observing Yue Xin’s actions. The high-level prisoners of Building 1 always had a hint of naivety when they first entered the prison. Maya had seen many people stop such things. Therefore, when Yue Xin made a move, she spoke up to stop her.

Unexpectedly, Yue Xin didn’t care. Instead, she moved her feet and explained, “My ankle is a little itchy. I’ll scratch it.”

Maya observed Yue Xin’s calm expression and the way she didn’t care about the screams around her at all. Only then did she realize that she had misjudged. Yue Xin was indeed like a child. She was very malleable. However, the reason why children were malleable was because people thought that they were a piece of white paper that could be painted with color at will. However, Yue Xin was different. She was an empty shell. She didn’t even have any emotions. No wonder she answered every question. Now, the only thing Maya was sure of was death. Yue Xin didn’t want to die.

She didn’t bother to explain her earlier question. “That’s good,” she said, and they fell silent.

From the moment they met, it was Maya who unilaterally sent information to

Yue Xin. Yue Xin didn’t say anything. When Maya didn’t speak, the two of them

didn’t communicate anymore.

There weren’t many people in the dining room. When Maya didn’t say anything, the sounds of plates shattering and screams became clearer. The jeers and giggles of the prisoners around them couldn’t drown out the noise.

Yue Xin sat there and watched. She knew very well that she shouldn’t do anything. There was no one easy to get along with in prison. As Maya had said, her supposed kindness would cause even more trouble for the weak, but she felt uncomfortable now.

She looked at the screaming prisoner and her body instinctively stiffened. In a daze, she felt that the current her was no different from the weak Yue Xin who only knew how to follow Lu Yu and did not dare to resist the rumors and bullying. Thinking of this, Yue Xin stood up.

Maya glanced at her. This time, she didn’t stop Yue Xin. Instead, she lowered her head and fiddled with her hair.

When Yue Xin stood up, the prisoners who were still jeering seemed to quieten down for a moment, but they immediately recovered.

Yue Xin continued walking over.

Maya’s hand that was fiddling with her hair paused. When Yue Xin walked past her, she suddenly said, “They’re holding a ceremony for Building 4. The prisoners of Building 4 pride themselves for being elegant artists. Before every assassination, there will be a death preview. If the preview is destroyed, that person will be hated by the prisoners in Building 4.”

Yue Xin heard Maya’s words, but she did not stop. Instead, she went straight to the center of the commotion.

The prisoners noticed Yue Xin’s approach and slowly quietened down. It seemed like they should know who Yue Xin was.

Yue Xin walked to the person kneeling on the ground who kept smashing the plates. She raised her leg and kicked away the stack of plates. Her gaze landed on an inconspicuous person in the crowd and she said calmly, “You’re disturbing my meal..”
