Yunyi looked at the candies in her hand that she hadn't managed to give away and couldn't help but smile.
After all, as it was just the two of them, a man and a woman alone, she didn't invite Gu Xibei inside. Instead, she turned, went into the kitchen to pour a bowl of water, and brought it out to him. "Have some water."
The moment she saw Gu Xibei, she had been wondering: If she told him about the situation in Tang City, would he believe her and help her?
But if she didn't tell him, and things didn't work out with Huo Jingrui, what then?
Steeling her resolve, she looked up at Gu Xibei. "Comrade Gu, I have a favor to ask of you."
Gu Xibei, seeing her serious expression, assumed she had been bullied. "Has someone been bullying you?"
Yunyi quickly waved her hands. "No."
Gu Xibei stood up. "Just call me Big Brother Gu from now on. If there's anything you need, just tell me. Don't talk about asking for favors."
