Villain’s Favorite 246

Chapter 246 Story Time 

Thinking back, Maya realized she really had been living off them for free this whole week. She gave a small cough and tried to talk things through with them. 

“Don’t be mad. I’ve had things to handle these past few days. In a couple more days, I’ll go look for food with you. 

“As compensation, how about I tell you some stories?” 

Maya was very patient with kids, especially children who had never even seen the outside world. Her eyes curved gently as she smiled. “I know plenty of stories.” 

Button’s anger clearly faltered for a second. 

The children nearby, who had been chewing on their food, also stopped and looked over at Maya. 

“Oh, right. You came from outside!” Button’s eyes brightened, and most of the anger in her tone disappeared. “What is it like out there? I still had some memories of the outside world when I got thrown in here. I remember there are lots of tasty things and fun things outside!” 

“Hurry and tell us stories. Then we’ll forgive you for eating without helping.” 

Maya looked at the children staring at her so eagerly, and a sudden sadness welled up in her chest. 

Any child who had been thrown into this place and managed to survive had to be one of the best. 

But being the best was only the lowest requirement for getting in. The only reason they existed was to pave a way for child from the Clarks. 

This world really was ridiculous and unfair. 

The system asked, “So even you’re unhappy with your own family?” 

Maya said, “My heart is not made of stone. I have feelings, too.” 

She was never the type to blame people for no reason. 

Still, she had the right to keep her own opinions and make her own choices. 

She felt that this was wrong. 

That was why she refused to just sit there and wait for death. 

Maya patted the ground beside her. “Alright, sit down. I’ll tell you an Aladdin story first…” 

“Big Sis, can you tell the Aladdin story again today?” 

“I want to hear the Little Mermaid one!” 

In one week, Maya had managed to get along with everyone here. 

In the end, they were still just a group of children. Aside from fighting over food scraps, they were not that

different from the kids Maya had known back at the orphanage.” 

They would bring her little offerings on their own, just to get her to tell them more stories. 

One child had even secretly saved a tiny sparkling stone from who knew where and solemnly placed it in her palm, all in exchange for a brand-new story. 

Maya accepted whatever they gave her without complaint. 

After observing them over the past few days, she realized that her little follower, Onyx, might have been the group punching bag, but he seemed to enjoy it. 

Whenever the older children shoved him around, he never fought back. He only walked away quietly, then came back after a while as if nothing had happened. 

After three months together, they had probably developed something close to friendship. 

“Why are you still so happy when everyone picks on you every day?” 

Today, it was Maya and Number 4’s turn to go out and search for food. 

Maya climbed the tree in just a few moves. She was quick and agile, easily picking fruit that would have taken the others ages to knock down. 

She tossed the fruit down accurately into Number 4’s arms. 

Number 4 lifted his face. Sunlight slipped through the gaps between the leaves and fell across his face, making his eyes curve into two crescent moons. 

“Onyx, you gets picked on by everyone all day. You’re dumb.” As Maya spoke, she threw a thumb-sized fruit right at his forehead. “You’re the easiest kid to bully I’ve ever met. I boss you around every day, yet you never get mad.” 

“Is it?” The boy rubbed his forehead, which had turned a little red from the hit, and smiled. “I think everyone is really nice. You’re really nice too, Sissy.” 

Not long ago, he had changed the way he addressed her from “Big Sis” to “Sissy”, intending to get closer to 

her. 

Number 4 didn’t really like calling her Big Sis like everyone else did. 

That made him feel like he was just the same as everyone else. 

He was the one who had brought her back. He was special. 

Maya knocked a few more ripe fruits down from the tree/before jumping down. 

Her movements were smooth and effortless. Her steps were light and nimble, almost as if she were floating. It was far beyond what an ordinary person could do. 

But Number 4 was busy picking up the fruit and didn’t notice. 

Maya clapped her hands, dusting them off.

Number 4 immediately came over and held out the fruit he had gathered in his jacket. 

Maya grabbed one at random and started eating.

Number 4 chose the smallest fruit and nibbled at it in tiny bites, slowly planning things out as he spoke. “We can save the rest for Button and the others, but we can hide a few more. Otherwise, you’ll be hungry.” Number 4 chose the smallest fruit and nibbled at it in tiny bites, slowly thinking things through as he spoke. “We can save the rest for Button and the others, but we should hide a few more. Otherwise, you’ll go hungry.” 

His tone was soft and serious. With his round eyes and solemn, mature expression, he only looked even more adorable. 

Even the coldest person would go soft in front of such a sweet little kid. 

Maya took two pieces of half-melted chocolate from her pocket and handed them to Number 4. 

George liked sweets and often stuffed some into her pockets. 

Maya had found them as soon as she arrived, but she hadn’t taken them out. She had planned to save them for herself. 

In a place like this, sweets were rare. High-calorie chocolate was an even more precious thing because it could help restore energy. 

The chocolate had softened and stuck to the gold foil, looking especially tempting in the damp air. 

Number 4’s eyes widened at once.
