Chapter 8
Would You Mind If I Sat Next To You
General Zhao Yun sure is very good looking.
Xing Cai thought bitterlyas she slowly turned away from Zhao Yun, who is currently talking to the lovely Lady Bao Sanniang. She can see they were enjoying themselves, as she can hear his laughter from afar. Despite the fact that Lady Sanniang is married, she is a head-turner, with her perfect skin and whistle-bait body, and a man would have to be in a comma or blind to not admire her.
Xing Cai was looking forward to their training in the afternoon, and she tried her best not to show her excitement to see him again during the whole morning. It was fascinating how the huge ice between them slowly melted within a few weeks, and it felt good, now that she doesn't have to act indifferent around him. Things between them are starting to flow smoothly, until today.
"Wait up, my lady."
She almost jumped with surprise when she felt someone grabbed her arm. She turned around to see a panting Zhao Yun, a huge but unsure smile painted on his lips. She could have smiled back if not for the scene she had witnessed a few seconds ago. To hide her bitterness, she faked a smile, the left corner of her lips lifting up.
"Good afternoon, General. Shall we start?"
He nodded, and they started to walk to the field.
"Ah, Xing Cai...?"
She cocked her eyebrow in response.
"You look lovely today."
