Chapter 162 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze (CP: Ye Dingzhi 11)
Li Yimei's chess skills weren't actually bad; she was just pretending to be a terrible player to tease her master.
As it turned out, she later found it quite amusing how Ye Dingzhi went to such lengths to ensure that he and his apprentice would win, so she continued to pretend.
"Leaving tomorrow? That's fine too. You can get four days' worth of medicine and brew it along the way without any delay. Is there something urgent?"
After winning the game, Li Yimei pushed the chessboard aside, took the paper bag containing candied cherries, opened it, and started eating.
Ye Dingzhi replied with a smile, "The Sword Forest, which takes place every four years, is about to open. Before coming to Chaisang City, I received news that this year's Sword Forest will feature a sword-tasting event by the Celestial Palace."
Li Yimei slammed her hand on the table, glaring angrily at Ye Dingzhi, and said, "What do you mean? You think the sword I gave you is no good and want to exchange it?"
Her sword is far superior to any celestial palace sword, you ignorant brat!
If it weren't for their childhood friendship, how could she possibly have picked out a handful of items from her personal storage space to give him as a birthday gift?
Ye Dingzhi, who had been wondering why Li Yimei was angry, realized she had misunderstood after hearing her words and quickly explained:
“I am not seeking the sword for myself. Dongjun wants to learn martial arts, and I thought I would try to see if I could obtain the Immortal Palace Sword and give it to him.”
"Oh, I see." Li Yimei pushed the candied cherries next to Ye Dingzhi and smiled ingratiatingly. "I misunderstood."
Ye Dingzhi looked at the candied cherries in his hand. If he remembered correctly, he was the one who bought them.
Trying to please him by buying him things? Only Li Yimei would do something like that.
With a helpless smile, Ye Dingzhi took out a candied fruit as an apology gift and then pushed it back.
If he really accepts everything, someone will definitely use it as an excuse to cause trouble. This is a painful and exhausting lesson.
"If I fail to obtain the Immortal Palace Sword, I will have to trouble Mei'er to help Dongjun take it." Ye Dingzhi's eyes were obscure as he probed again.
As expected, a candied cherry hit him on the forehead.
The culprit, Li Yimei, scolded, "Call me 'sister'! You have no manners!"
Ye Dingzhi muttered in a low voice, "It's only been about half a year since then."
Both being people with profound inner strength, how could Li Yimei not hear Ye Dingzhi's rebuttal? "Don't say it's only been half a year, even if it's only been a month, a day, or a quarter of an hour, you still have to call me sister!"
"You always called me 'sister' when we were little, but now you dare to call me 'Mei'er' directly? You're getting more and more disobedient as you grow up. After all these years of wandering around, you don't want me as your sister anymore, do you?"
With tears welling in her eyes, Li Yimei said tearfully, "Waaah...you've really gone too far! If you don't want to admit it, fine, I'll just find another brother!"
She'd heard the saying before: "If a younger woman doesn't call you 'sister,' she's got a wild side."
From calling her "older sister" when she was little, to "Sister Mei" later, and now even daring to call her Mei'er directly, ugh, don't even think about taking away the privilege of being called "older sister" from her!
“That’s not what I meant.” Ye Dingzhi sighed. Li Yimei always knew how to manipulate him, and as she wished, she called out, “Sister.”
“That’s more like it.” Li Yimei stopped crying and wiped away her tears. “Are you going through a rebellious phase? Do you have to make me cry? A beautiful woman’s tears are very precious, you know.”
Ye Dingzhi didn't listen carefully to Li Yimei's scolding. He looked at her eyes, which were particularly moist after crying, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red.
Ye Dingzhi felt inexplicably thirsty, so he looked away and drank some cold tea.
