[Famous Books] Desire for control and arrogance

The hot food was ready quickly, the beggar just ordered simple noodles and stir-fried vegetables, but in Alice's eyes, it was a big meal.

Alice, who was so hungry that her eyes were green, immediately held the food in her hands. Her hands were red from being burned, but she insisted on holding it to the small table quickly by herself.

She exhaled quickly to cool off, and ate voraciously.

The beggar saw her eating so deliciously, stared at her for a long time, and then said, "Hey, don't you care if I eat or not? Don't you want to leave some for me?"

The portion was obviously only for one person, and it was not that there was no other food in the kitchen, but by saying this, it was clear that he wanted to eat Alice's already scarce portion.

Alice looked up at him, sucking the noodles non-stop.After eating the long noodle that would never be bitten off, Alice did not argue with him, and said calmly: "I'm almost finished, sorry, I'm too hungry, and you cooked too little. I can't eat enough, next time you make more, I'll fill two bowls, so we both have something to eat."

Now she doesn't dare to do it at such a moment, after all, she was supposed to cook the meal, but the beggar is the one who cooks.

As long as she can eat something, the beggar who has been taken advantage of must be comfortable.

She didn't want to consider other people's feelings that much, but she was kicked out of the palace by her father, and she had to learn some lessons from that incident slowly, otherwise she would be stupid.

"You actually said you're embarrassed?" The beggar was very surprised, and his voice was mocking, but his eyes were satisfied with this development, as if he felt that this development was in line with his vision.

In fact, his reaction was quite normal, but Alice didn't know why, and always felt that there was something wrong with him, as if the unclear apology she said after assessing the situation had accidentally fallen into his trap, and her whole body It's as if people are slowly falling into his trap.

This kind of discomfort is very unfounded. Alice temporarily forgot about it, lowered her head and wiped her mouth, and said, "Of course I would. Didn't I also apologize to that grandma Mary today? Don't make me seem savage and irrational." .”

The beggar was stunned for a moment, then smiled in a low voice, and said: "But you are indeed very savage and irrational at times, have you forgotten why you married me? Isn't it because you... ..."

Now Alice can't hear the past that made her into such a downcast state, and immediately frowned: "Stop talking, why did you keep holding on to me for a while? Could it be that you were one of the people I divorced?" ?”

He seemed to be choking, and it took a few seconds for him to recover. He said lazily and casually: "Of course there is no me. I keep saying this, maybe I just like to see you uncomfortable. Although I am from a bad background, but It's also your husband, you always treat me indifferently..."

"You are telling the truth," Alice interrupted him with a sneer, "but you should understand that I did not marry you voluntarily, so I have no obligation to be good to you."

She spoke ruthlessly, and the look in the beggar's eyes became indifferent and contemptuous: "You eat mine, use mine, once the wedding is held, you are destined to be mine..."

Eating and using this is indeed Alice's Achilles' heel, but now is not the time to admit defeat. When did she ever give up when Alice could regain her strength by relying on sophistry?

Alice then said stiffly: "Since you are telling the truth and are not afraid of offending me, then don't blame me for being practical. I have fallen from a high-ranking princess to marrying you who is a beggar. This tragic situation is worse than being demoted to a commoner minister. It's still miserable. How many ministers who were demoted in history couldn't stand it and committed suicide. I have been pampered since I was a child. How long do you think I can last?

So don't force me, force me to death, do you think you can get better?I was disliked by my father, but my mother is his favorite person. If I was forced to commit suicide early by you, he will definitely investigate, and you should not think about it! "

Alice said harsh words, raised her chin, and looked at the beggar even more contemptuously.

She is not someone who bows her head unconditionally, please don't be shameless, I think she is an orphan who is easy to bully!

Her stern look was definitely more arrogant than when she lazily mocked the suitors, and the beggar froze.

Alice gave him a blank look, not paying attention to him at all.

There was still some soup in the bowl in front of her, and the smell of food kept rushing into her nose, so she stopped talking to the beggar and drank the leftover soup happily.

In fact, what she just said was all nonsense. She really didn't dare to die. She should be the person who is most afraid of death in the world. She has always felt that living has everything.

However, those words inadvertently revealed a little bit of her thinking. She had had enough of the life of the poor, so if she lived for a day, at least her heart would be refreshed and her stomach would be full.

After eating and drinking, she didn't know how to wash the dishes, because she used to eat in the wild, and the remaining garbage would be buried in the soil by the beggar, so she stood up and walked around a few times, observing the things in the beggar's house. Then, pointing to a narrow cabinet in the room, he said sleepily to the beggar: "I'm sleepy, is there a quilt for sleeping in here, I want to sleep."

The beggar stood up with her mouth tightly pressed, opened the cabinet silently, and took out the quilt wrapped in a thin cloth.

After taking it out, he took a deep look at Alice. Alice knew that he might have the intention of letting her make the bed by herself, but Alice didn't move at all, and looked back at him silently.

He didn't seem to want Alice to make the bed, so he only looked at Alice for a few seconds, then quickly stuffed the quilt to Alice, and said, "Hold me, I'll clean the dust off the bed."

He was obviously used to this kind of thing, sweeping the dust and wiping the boards, he did it very quickly, and it was done in a short while.

After spreading the thin cloth that originally wrapped the quilt on the wooden board of the bed, he took the quilt from Alice's arms, pinched the corners of the quilt with his fingers, shook the quilt in the air while spreading his arms, and spread the quilt all at once. alright.

After making it, he took out another thicker quilt from the cabinet and spread it on top of the bed just now.

Finally put two pillows on it.

The quilt and pillows are both dark green, dirt-resistant and beautiful, but this is not the point. Alice watched the two pillows line up, and the veins on her forehead twitched.

"You want to sleep with me?" she asked in disbelief.

"Didn't we sleep together many times in the wild?" Beggar asked confused.

"How can it be the same?!" Alice stared angrily, as if she was about to be bullied.

The beggar is now overwhelmed by her theory of "forced to death", so she patiently broke up with her: "At that time, you were sleeping next to me. My room is only this big, and there are few quilts, so you can just compromise. I won't do anything to you, didn't you sleep better and better when you slept next to me before?"

That's the way it is said, but it's the same on the bed. Alice feels that even if she just sleeps with this beggar, she will be defiled.

She carefully looked at the room again, but couldn't find a place where the beggar could sleep, so she frowned very hard, with a look of bitterness and hatred.

Seeing her upset, the beggar had no choice but to offer some compensation: "Do you want to take a bath? Let me boil some hot water for you to take a bath."

After being wandering with him for so long, Alice did always use cold water, and she hadn't washed in hot water for a long time.

Eager to enjoy, she reluctantly nodded.

The beggar took a lot of effort to get her bath water, she thanked him perfunctorily, and asked him to avoid it in the kitchen so that she could take a bath.

After taking a comfortable bath, she finally calmed down, opened the kitchen door, and after glancing at the tall figure in the cramped kitchen, she turned around and took a few steps to get on the bed, saying nothing. Started to fall asleep.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the beggar, who was thinking about something, froze for a moment, and slowly walked out of the kitchen, looked at her deeply for a long time, finally turned off the light helplessly, and climbed into bed carefully to sleep.

But he slept on his side and tried not to touch her.
