179 Black sheep (1/2)
” Commander! Thank god, you are a woman.” Yinri cried tears of relief as she personally tested Xia Lain by groping all over her chest bandages. Slapping Yinri's paws away, Xia Lian sighed helplessly.
” Yinri, don't address me like that here. Just call me by my name.”
” Hmm...” Yinri hesitated for a while ” Then I will call you sister Lian.”
” Yinri, I am just about to turn 13 in a month. Even then, I am younger than you by 3 years. Just call me Lian.”
” L-Lian!” Yinri exclaimed incredulously ” No matter how tiny you are, you are a 24 years old woman in my eyes. You are like my elder sister, this sudden change is overwhelming.”
” Whatever! Just call me Lian and get over with it.” Xia Lian rolled her eyes as Yinri pursed her lips. She couldn't understand what this girl was feeling so bad about. Xia Lian sighed helplessly and stopped in her tracks to face Yinri.
” Yinri, just imagine this. I, a 24 old woman acting as a naive 12 year old.” Xia Lian spoke seriously ” This is no joke, dear general. I made many mistakes and by god's grace, those around me never questioned me about anything even though they are suspicious.”
In Xia Lian's view, acting as a naive 12 year old when she was actually a 24 year old soul was challenging. No matter how hard she tried to convince to act, mistakes are bound to happen. And she committed a grave mistake in the beginning.
” I don't believe you.” Yinri stated dryly.
Xia Lian raised her brows, a wry smile graced her lips as she threw a question at Yinri” Yinri, have you ever heard of gunpowder in this era?”
”Eh?! Gunpowder?” Yinri widened her eyes ” How is it possible?”
” I personally accompanied the prince in gunpowder excavation. I even told him that it is called gunpowder.”by this time Xia Lian's face was gloomy and her face darkened by several degrees as she noticed the ' are you a fool?' expression on Yinri's face.
” Is he handsome?” though it was an unrelated question Xia Lian nodded her head. Li Wei was handsome no matter how you look at him. There was nothing to deny.
” Fufu...” Yinri had a smug look on her face as she giggled ” Commander, don't tell me that you lost all sense of reason before a handsome specimen!”
” Don't look at me like that!” Xia Lian grumbled ” Though I appreciate beauty, I am not a person who loses reason over beauty ah! I was over excited at that time and accidentally blurted out that it is called gunpowder.”
Of course, Yinri did not believe Xia Lian. She must know who this man was ” Commander, who is he?”
” He is the fourth prince of Qilin empire, Xuan Li Wei.”
Oh! So, there was a male lead and female lead.Now, she the supporting female lead has arrived. Xia Lian was oblivious to Yinri's thoughts as she casually continued.
