Cheng Huaijin was right; Gu Yingxue really did ask for it during the New Year. However, fearing that Cheng Huaijin wouldn't accept it, she didn't bring it out after their relationship improved.
This was a perfect opportunity, so she gave it to Cheng Huaijin.
Cheng Huaijin accepted it without hesitation, and she was naturally happy, but she didn't say that she had asked for it a long time ago, because she also had to save face.
Cheng Huaijin didn't expose her.
Since transmigrating, Gu Yingxue has remained quite religious and holds gods and Buddhas in high esteem. She is always particularly devout when asking for a peace charm, believing that sincerity brings results.
Gu Xin taunted from the side, "Tsk, you heartless little thing, I'm going to go on stage too, and you didn't even prepare one for your older sister."
Gu Yingxue blinked: "Third sister, I did give it to you! During the New Year, I asked for it for everyone in the family, even the seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth brothers all got one, only Brother Jin didn't!"
After saying that, she covered her mouth.
Oops, I think I forgot to mention something.
Her face flushed, and she whispered, "I'm leaving. Third Sister, Little Jin, you two have to do your best this afternoon! You have to win!"
After saying that, he turned and ran away.
Watching her hurried figure, Cheng Huaijin couldn't help but smile.
Gu Xin turned her head to look at Cheng Huaijin. Yes, he was right. Brother Jin was different in front of Xue'er. His eyes had warmth now and could hold other people.
Moreover, he himself seemed unaware of these subtle changes in himself.
Cheng Huaijin watched as Gu Yingxue ran to Gu Si and Miss Qian's side before turning his gaze away.
Gu Xin: "Sigh, my eyes are practically glued to their backs."
Cheng Huaijin clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, then coughed twice as if to make a sound: "Ahem, my aunt said she's going to cook our favorite dishes today, let's go."
Gu Xin nodded and smiled, "Alas, it's a pity that Xue'er and Sisi have to have lunch with the Empress! Otherwise, my brother could have eaten two more bowls of rice at noon today, and he would have been stuffed."
Cheng Huaijin: "..."
I can't argue with this little girl anymore.
...
The betting activity outside the venue was incredibly lively during the last match of the afternoon.
The most popular choice is which prince will be first, while the princess's choice is who will be second or third.
There's no way around it. All the people of the Great Zhou have always believed that the first place should definitely go to their invincible Princess Xin Xin. We don't need to spend money to gamble on this.
But the second and third are more gamble-worthy.
Princess Nanlin is now being labeled as having abilities that don't match her appearance, and many people believe she's a strong contender for second place.
However, some people still firmly believe that Dongzhe Kingdom should come in second.
Regardless, the people who run the gambling dens make the most money.
As for the princes, the situations of General Shi Mu, Cheng Huaijin, and Prince Tian Tian are similar.
Anyway, none of the princes from their Great Zhou are here; they're all from other countries.
Some people choose what they like, like Dugu Hai, the Sand Prince who has a good relationship with their Great Zhou, also known as Cheng Huaijin.
Some people are superstitious and think that since Prince Tian Tian always gets a bye, maybe he'll be lucky. They think that Shi Mu and Cheng Huaijin will fight to the death, and he can continue to reap the benefits.
Another group felt that the Ninth Prince's performance that morning had surprised them greatly. However, the Ninth Prince, who was so powerful, was easily defeated by Shi Mu. Moreover, Shi Mu's attire made him look like someone not to be trifled with. Therefore, they chose the more formidable Shi Mu.
