Chapter 21
"Aiyo, I've been so busy this month.”
In the case library, Sun Yin placed the heavy embroidered spring knife on the table and rubbed his sore shoulders.
"What wind blew today to bring Lord Sun here?”
Su Ming said with a smile.
For the past month, Sun Yin, as the Brocade Guard of the Northern Military Region, had been guarding the Imperial Palace and cleaning up the battlefield after the great battle.
" Sigh, Su Ming, you didn't go to the palace and see the ravine that was created by the Saint's blade. It was ten thousand feet long, and the entire palace was split into two."
Sun Yin widened his eyes and said with lingering fear,""That day, I happened to be on field duty. I was at least three miles away. The power of that saber was not far from me. If I had come closer, you probably wouldn't have seen me today.”
"It took me a month to fill up that gully.”
"If that Half-Saint Wang Xiao hadn't run away, the entire palace would have been blown up.”
Sun Yin's eyes were filled with emotion as he muttered,""I don't know if I'll be able to advance to Xiantian ninth grade in this lifetime. With their strength, I don't dare to think about it in my lifetime.”
" Hey, Su Ming, why don't you care about what I said at all? I'm telling the truth. You should have heard the explosion that day, right? It was like thunder, and it made my ears buzz.”
When Sun Yin saw that Su Ming was still reading with his head lowered, he could not help but feel angry. He felt like he was playing the lute to a cow.
"Eh?"
Sun Yin looked around and saw an exquisitely-shaped food box with golden embroidery on the table.
"Why is there a box of pastries here?"
Sun Yin opened the lunchbox. When he saw the green bean cake inside, his eyes lit up and he clicked his tongue."Su Ming, I really didn't come here for nothing today.”
"If you want to eat it, then eat it all."
Su Ming flipped open a page and said flatly.
This box of pastries was sent by Zhao Ziyi yesterday and had never been touched.
Sun Yin picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth. His eyes immediately widened.
After swallowing it with difficulty, he hurriedly poured himself a cup of tea and drank it. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"My dear, this is too sweet. How much sugar is wasted?”
Sun Yin looked at the remaining green bean cakes with lingering fear in his heart. Only then did he understand why Su Ming had not eaten a single piece. It was simply too sweet and disgusting.
"Alright, I'm just going back to the North Town Administrative Office to report. I still have to go over and watch. Otherwise, I don't know what those people will do to me.”
Sun Yin brought out a gilded invitation card from his bosom and placed it on the table before placing it in front of Su Ming.
"Su Ming, I'm about to get married.”
Speaking of marrying a wife, Sun Yin's face could not help but turn red. He then stammered,""The date is already written on it. You are my best brother, remember to come.”
After saying that, Sun Yin hurriedly picked up the Embroidered Spring Knife and strode away without looking back.
Su Ming stopped reading. The invitation card on the table flipped open on its own, and on the female side of the page were the words 'Li He' ou 'written in gold.
"Your mouth says no, but your body is very honest.”
The corners of Su Ming's lips curled up. He smiled lightly and shook his head.
He still remembered what Sun Yin had said about not delaying others. It hadn't been long, but the date had already been set.
Not long after, a purple figure appeared in the document warehouse again.
Zhao Ziyi pursed her beautiful and bright lips before placing another exquisite food container on Su Ming's table.
"Greetings, Third Princess."
Su Ming said without even lifting his head.
You didn't even look at me, and you think you've seen me before?
Zhao Ziyi's pretty face was somewhat melancholic.
When she saw that Su Ming was reading, she did not want to disturb him. She propped up her sharp chin and opened her eyes to look at him without blinking.
It was this tranquil atmosphere that made her feel unusually satisfied and at ease.
After a long time, Zhao Ziyi mustered up his courage and said,""Su Ming, I've asked my mother. I'm eighteen this year, and according to my mother, I'll still grow up in the future."
When saying this kind of words, Zhao Ziyi's pretty face was already covered with a blush, her eyes suffused a sparkling and translucent watery light.
When Su Ming heard that, the corners of his lips twitched, but he did not speak.
One could imagine that Zhao Ziyi said this sentence, expending great courage.
When she saw that Su Ming did not speak, Zhao Ziyi averted her gaze and looked at the food box on the table. Soon after, she noticed that there were signs that someone had touched the food box.
Hmph, I knew it. He definitely wouldn't reject my intentions.
Zhao Ziyi opened the food box and saw that a piece of the mung bean cake was eaten. Her heart immediately felt as sweet as honey.
"Su Ming, this is the black rice cake I made after asking the nanny.”
Zhao Ziyi opened another food box and took out a small plate of pastries and placed it on the table.
Sigh.
Su Ming could not help but sigh softly in his heart when he met Zhao Zi Yi's gaze. He lifted his head and looked towards the woman who was known as the most beautiful woman in the capital.
"Thank you, Third Princess."”
Zhao Ziyi felt her heart beat faster when Su Ming stared at her. She quickly lowered her head and mumbled,"Um, how did the pastries I made yesterday taste?”
Su Ming remembered that Sun Yin had eaten one.
Zhao Ziyi must have mistaken him for eating it.
"It's very sweet." Su Ming said softly.
"Is it very sweet?"
Zhao Ziyi was startled. He immediately picked up a piece and took a bite. His mouth was filled with sweetness.
Zhao Ziyi swallowed it with great effort and said with a bitter face,""Wow, it's too sweet. Su Ming, I don't want these anymore. You can eat my new Black Rice Cake.”
Su Ming immersed himself in the world of books once again and ignored her.
When she saw that Su Ming did not speak, Zhao Ziyi seemed to know his personality. When she closed the food box, she suddenly saw an invitation card on the table before Su Ming.
Zhao Ziyi slowly stretched out his hand to take it. When he saw that it was a wedding banquet, his eyes could not help but light up.
"Su Ming, you have a friend who is getting married. Can you bring me along on your wedding day?”
Su Ming did not even lift his head.”
Snatched them all?
Is this a disguised acknowledgment of my beauty?
Zhao Ziyi thought happily in his heart and said,"Then I'll dress up as a man and go over."
"Let's make a deal. You have to bring me to the wedding day.”
"I still have something to do, so I'll go back first. See you tomorrow!”
She did not give Su Ming a chance to refuse. Zhao Ziyi's limpid eyes darted around before she picked up the box of green bean cakes and left.
