Chapter 873: Chapter 873 This Candy Is So Delicious Chapter 873: Chapter 873 This Candy Is So Delicious Yan Xi, after playing the matchmaker, turned to Ye Xingguang and asked, “Miss Ye, could you introduce to soone?”
“Sure, of course, but who do you want to et?” Ye Xingguang was curious.
“Gui Baili.”
“Uh… sure.” A bit unexpected, but Ye Xingguang didn’t mind playing matchmaker at all.
As they walked, Yan Xi said, “During the sumr vacation of the first year in high school, Ye Junqing encountered an accident at sea and barely made it back alive. When I visited him in the hospital, he told about a magical girl he t at sea. He even nad her Ye Xingguang.”
Ye Xingguang: “…”
“We shared a desk in school, always neck and neck academically. He rarely daydread during class, but once or twice he would sit there, lost in thought, sporting a silly, wide grin. That’s when I knew, he had fallen in love.”
After finishing, Yan Xi took out a piece of paper from her small handbag and handed it to Ye Xingguang, “I heard you were ill before, and it seems I was partly to bla. Here’s a little engagent gift for you, hoping all your ailnts disappear.”
Ye Xingguang took the piece of paper, unfolded it as they walked.
On the paper was a drawing of a cartoon figure done with a marker, a chibi version of a head. Others might not recognize it, but Ye Xingguang imdiately saw the little cartoon represented herself, with a line next to it: “Should I pray for 500 years in front of Buddha?”
Yan Xi explained, “Ye Junqing drew this during a self-study class in his second year of high school when he was seventeen—the bloom of youthful love. Caught red-handed by the horoom teacher, he, in desperation, tore the drawing from his notebook and stuffed it into my desk. Later, he asked for it back, but I didn’t return it, telling him I’d give it to the girl when he won her over. He told to keep it safe because one day, he would definitely win that girl’s heart. Now, his wish has co true, and I’m happy for him.”
Ye Xingguang struggled to keep the corners of her mouth straight, trying to hide the upward curve of her lips, but couldn’t help but let it show.
Even though it was just a piece of paper, she felt it was so full of love. Ah, it was drawn by a seventeen-year-old Ye Junqing.
“Thank you.” Her heart felt sweet; this piece of candy was delicious.
Yan Xi, with a sharp and efficient smile, said, “I hope we can beco good friends. I still plan to have als with Ye Junqing from ti to ti. Hopefully, you’ll join us.”
Ye Xingguang nodded, feeling sowhat embarrassed. They approached Gui Baili, who was talking with Chen Fengdu, attempting to clarify who, between Li Yu and Ye Junqing, was the rightful heir of the vampire race.
“Gui Baili, let introduce you to our nation’s Minister of National Defense, Yan Xi.”
Yan Xi extended her hand, “We et again, a pleasure.”
Ye Xingguang, curious, asked, “You’ve t before?”
Yan Xi replied, “I have dealt with Marshal Gui more than once, but we’ve never formally t.”
Gui Baili looked at Yan Xi thoughtfully for a long ti, “We have indeed interacted. I recognize you; you are an outstanding military officer.”
“Likewise, Marshal Gui, would you mind if we have a private chat? I have always been very interested in your country’s military power. I believe if we put past grievances aside, we could actually beco allies.” Yan Xi spoke eloquently.
Gui Baili nodded.
Ye Xingguang, determined to be as helpful as possible, offered them a place to talk alone, “Yan Xi, if you go through that corridor over there, there’s a sunroom where you two can talk.”
