On the morning of the second day, Ye Lang took Xiao Rui to the restaurant for breakfast, and Xiao Hei, no, Edward also appeared in the restaurant and sat with Ye Lang.
"Xiao Rui, aren't you eating anything again? Are you still losing weight?" Edward greeted her and asked casually. This was just a casual question. In fact, he didn't need to know the answer, and he also knew that Xiao Rui would not answer him.
"Waiter, give me a salad, fried eggs...wait, or the same as him, soy milk and fried dough sticks..." Edward looked at Ye Lang's breakfast and suddenly wanted to try it too.
"Ye Lang, I want to ask you something." Edward said to Ye Lang, his expression suddenly becoming serious.
"What?" Ye Lang asked vaguely while biting the fried dough stick.
"When will my skin color return to normal?" Edward asked, pointing at his face.
Ye Lang looked Edward up and down and replied, "Your condition should recover in two months. You've become much whiter."
"White your head, I'm still as black as coal," Edward said angrily.
"No, you used to be called Coal," Ye Lang said, shaking his head.
Edward continued, "What now?"
"Now, you are like slightly whitened coal"
"..." Edward remained silent and said weakly, "It's still the same, all coal."
"Oh, yes, white coal is still coal, you are still coal, you have to continue coaling for ten days, and then it will become..." Ye Lang stopped here, because he wanted to find a suitable tool to describe it.
"..." What do you mean by "coal"?
Right, then what happens?
"What happened?" Edward asked.
"Chocolate," Ye Lang replied when he saw someone eating a chocolate snack.
“…”
"I want to kill you," Edward said to Ye Lang with gritted teeth after a while.
"Why? I haven't blamed you." Ye Lang said calmly, and seemed to be saying - I don't understand, I am innocent.
"You still say that without you, you bastard, I am in this state because of your poison?" Edward said angrily, and took a bite of the fried dough stick and tore it apart. "Yes, but I accidentally took the wrong one." Ye Lang did not realize that he had done anything wrong and said indifferently.
"I was half dead at that time, and you gave me poison. I wonder how I survived." Every time Edward talked about this, he felt fortunate but also angry.
"I'm wondering too, maybe you are destined to be a cockroach," Ye Lang replied, still looking indifferent.
"...Anyway, you have to help me deal with this now. I want to turn white," Edward said.
"Why do you want to turn white? You are not a woman. Dark skin is actually not bad. Besides, it won't be for a long time. What does it matter to a man?" Ye Lang asked casually.
So many days have passed, and Edward has never asked about this matter. It is obvious that he is the kind of person who doesn't care. But at this time, he suddenly became concerned about this matter. There must be something wrong.
However, Ye Lang never cared about these things. He continued to eat breakfast leisurely. "It didn't matter before, but now it's a problem. I want to become white." Edward looked outside and said with some sigh, as if he had something on his mind.
"What's the matter?" Ye Lang stopped and looked at Edward's dark face. Edward's melancholy eyes seemed to become more obvious.
"Do you know the purpose of my coming here this time?" Edward looked at Ye Lang and asked, as if he was expecting Ye Lang's answer.
"How would I know if you don't tell me?" Ye Lang replied directly. Edward had never mentioned this matter, and he had never asked about it, so it would be strange if he knew about it.
"..." Edward was stuck for a moment, "Ahem, let me tell you now, I'm not here to show you the way..."
"I know. Once we get out of the mountains and have a carriage, I won't need you anymore," Ye Lang interrupted.
“…”
Damn, even if you don't need it, you don't have to be so direct.
"Okay, let me be frank. I came here for my sweetheart." Edward chose to be straightforward this time because he was afraid that if he said anything more, Ye Lang would be angry to death.
"Oh..." Ye Lang nodded, and then there was no sound.
Edward was a little embarrassed. Why didn't this guy know how to respond or ask about the situation, like -
"Don't you want to know who my sweetheart is and why I'm here?"
"What does it have to do with me? I'm leaving soon. I'm going to the Holy City and don't have time to meet your sweetheart with you." Ye Lang finished eating the last fried dough sticks and drinking soy milk, and then prepared to pay the bill.
And just as Ye Lang said, he was about to go to the Holy City. Under normal circumstances, he would not care about what happened to Edward's sweetheart, let alone at this time.
"Wait a minute, this is your fault, you have to be responsible to me, otherwise, don't even think about leaving." Edward started to act like a spoiled child. He guessed that Ye Lang wouldn't care about his life or death, so he held Ye Lang's hand tightly.
At this time, almost everyone looked at Ye Lang and Edward, and all stopped their actions. Their mouths seemed to be very wide open. It seemed that everyone had misunderstood the relationship between the two, thinking that Ye Lang and Edward were cheating on each other, and that Ye Lang had abandoned them in the end. It seemed that this was not the case.
"Don't get me wrong, we're not in that kind of relationship," Edward quickly noticed what everyone was thinking and explained.
"What's the relationship?" Ye Lang asked in confusion.
"..., please help me change back quickly. How can I go to see Kassa when I'm so dark?" Edward didn't want to explain anything to Ye Lang, and this sentence could make everyone understand.
It turned out that it was because of darkening, and he was going to find Miss Kasha, which was a very normal man, but Miss Kasha would not be interested in this dark-haired man. Everyone shook their heads and continued to eat their breakfast. As for whether Edward could successfully pursue Miss Kasha, their answers were the same, that is, it was definitely impossible. Miss Kasha was the daughter of the lord of Alexandria, a spoiled girl. She was beautiful and noble, the best target for all the men in Alexandria, and even had suitors and admirers in the entire Ella Empire.
And how could such a darling girl like Edward, a piece of black charcoal, unless she was blind. "If you can't see him, don't go to see him. You will die if you don't see him for a while," Ye Lang said casually. Anyway, he was not in a hurry, so he was naturally relaxed.
