The World in Alex’s Eyes [Part 1]

[Alex's POV]

"Master, please wake up," I said while lightly tapping my Master's chubby cheeks. It was already nine in the morning and we still needed to visit my master's home in the city. Yesterday, Master told me that she would introduce me to her family.

"Just five more minutes," Master replied as she buried herself under the blanket.

I scratched my cheek and sighed, "Master, you said that five minutes ago. This is already the third time you asked for an extension."

"Um?" Master poked her head out of the blanket and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. "Five minutes passed five. Alright, you win."

I watched as my master sat up from the bed and stretched her body. After doing so, she looked at me still half asleep and pulled me into her embrace. Master's body was very warm. I could hear her strong heartbeat and it gave me a sense of security. If possible, I'd like to stay like this forever, but I couldn't be too greedy.

Master held me for a few minutes before she reluctantly released me from her hold. She then gave me a kiss on the cheek and greeted me a good morning.

"Good Morning, Master. Should we take a bath together this time?" I asked hoping that she would agree to my proposal.

For a moment, I saw her eyes glinted with interest, but it soon faded away. Her hand patted my head and she spoke the same words she had yesterday. "Maybe next time. For now, please take a bath first."

I watched as she snuck a glance to the other bed. Diana was still sleeping and I think it would still take her at least half an hour before waking up completely. Seeing the coast was clear, Master hurriedly opened her I-Foam. She moved her fingertips on the mobile screen and tapped it a few times.

A set of clothes appeared in her hand which she handed to me. I gave a nod in understanding. The small mishap that happened yesterday must not happen again. Master was going out of her way to protect my secret. The least that I could do was make sure that no one would be able to discover my real identity.

I stepped into the bathroom and opened the tap of the shower. Such an interesting thing. This was not available in my world. Maybe it existed, but I had never seen it before in my short eight-years of life.

The water landed on my head and I closed my eyes to embrace the cold water falling over me. It was very different from my Master's warmth, I loved her warmth.

I scrubbed myself using the soap and washed my hair with the shampoo. We also had these things in my world, the only difference was that the ones here in my Master's world were more fragrant.

It didn't take long before I finished bathing. After drying myself properly with the bath towel, I "equipped" my clothes without too much effort. Master was humming a song when I stepped out of the bathroom. It was a song that I knew very well, it was the song [Moonlight Cradle]. This song was very popular in our world, and almost everyone knew it.

"Master, I am finished," I announced as I walked towards her.

My Master, Abbie, nodded her head before taking out a comb from her drawer. She made me sit on the bed while she tidied my hair. Her hands were large, but her fingers were slender. She combed my hair in a gentle manner. I could tell that she was very experienced in doing this. Perhaps, she also did the same for her siblings.

Master told me that she had one older brother, and one little sister. Her older brother was already working abroad. He came home during the holidays, but most of the time he was busy with work.

Her sister, I believe her name was Lily… Master said that she was very timid. She hoped that I would be good friends with her. Since it was Master's wish, I would definitely do my best to get along with her sister.

It didn't take long before Master finished combing my hair. She gave me a look and nodded her head while saying the words, "As expected, My Alex is the best.

These were just simple words, but for me, they were very precious. I watched as Master took a dress from her closet and entered the bathroom. I intended to just wait for her to finish when I heard a sudden knock on the door.

I looked at Diana who was sleeping on the bed. She was still in deep sleep and unable to answer the door. Master was in the bathroom, so it was impossible for her to open it as well. Left with no choice, I decided to walk towards the door and ask who it was.

"Who is it?"

"Alex? It's Big Sister Yue."

I heard the familiar voice of Big Sister Yue behind the door. Master referred to her as "Dorm Head," I didn't know if this was an honorary title that people used in this world, but it seemed that Big Sister Yue had a very high position. Master explicitly told me to get along with her as well.

Big Sister Yue was a good person. She gave me a lot of food, and although they tasted strange I still ate them all. Why? Because the flavors didn't matter much to me. Big Sister's cooking may not be delicious to other people, but to me, they were very delicious.

I could taste the emotions she was feeling when she cooked these foods. It was a feeling of strong determination. A determination to prove that her cooking would make people happy. Yes, Big Sister Yue wanted to cook in order to make other people happy. This was my reason for saying the food she cooked was very delicious.

Someone who poured their heart into what they were making for the sake of others. Wasn't that the best ingredient of all? If possible, I wanted to eat more of her cooking.

I opened the door and saw a beautiful lady looking at me with a smile. Big Sister Yue was very beautiful. She was as beautiful as a princess, especially when she smiled. I wished that she would smile more often, but she told me that she would smile only for me. I wonder why?

"Good Morning, Alex."

"Good Morning, Big Sister Yue."

"Can I come in?"

Can she? If Master was here, would she let Big Sister enter? Based on Master's attitude towards Big Sister, she would definitely agree to whatever she said. I guess this was because of Big SIster Yue's authority here in the girl's dormitory. It seems that, aside from the School Dean that we met yesterday, she had the last say in whatever happened inside the girl's dormitory.

"Please come in, Big Sister," I said with a smile.

Big Sister Yue smiled back at me and gently patted my head. "Good boy."

Although her praises didn't give me the same strong feelings I received when my master praised me, it was still a good feeling. Perhaps I was the type of person who liked to be praised? I watched as Big Sister entered the room. It seemed like she was in a good mood. I hoped that today would be a good day, not only for her, but for my Master as well.
