Chapter 1080: June Fourth

Hearing what Huo Shiqian said, Xia Chuyi recalled the past.

In the 1980s, Z country and the United States once had a very friendly relationship, referred to as the "honeymoon period" between the two countries.

During this phase, the two countries engaged in many friendly exchanges and visits.

Knowing that Huo Shiqian came to the United States legitimately, Xia Chuyi set aside her worries and was left only with excitement.

She never would have thought that she could meet Huo Shiqian in the United States.

Seeing her so excited, Huo Shiqian’s mood was also quite joyful.

However, at the moment he had other matters to attend to, so he held Xia Chuyi’s hand and said, "Let’s talk about the details later."

Huo Shiqian took her hand and walked toward Li Mingzhi, who had been standing dazedly.

"Hello, my name is Huo Shiqian, I’m Xia Chuyi’s fiancé." Huo Shiqian said to Li Mingzhi calmly yet politely, "Thank you for taking care of Chuyi."

For a person like Li Mingzhi, Huo Shiqian didn’t need to rebuke him with words.

Just by standing there, seemingly casually looking at Li Mingzhi, his heart began to feel uneasy.

"No, no need to thank..." Li Mingzhi said, still feeling somewhat awkward, "It’s my duty."

"Well, I have something else to do, so I’ll be leaving first!" With that, he fled as if he’d taken flight.

Seeing this, Xia Chuyi shook her head and said, "Uncle Liberation Army, your presence is truly strong, you didn’t even need to say anything to scare him away."

"I’ve turned him down many times, yet he still clings like sticky candy, it’s really just..."

Before Xia Chuyi could finish, she heard Huo Shiqian say, "Many times? Sticky candy?"

Uncle Liberation Army’s tone started to become slightly cold.

"Seems like, I still should say something..." Huo Shiqian said, "No, I should do something instead."

Upon hearing this, Xia Chuyi immediately said, "No need, there’s no need for us to fuss over such a person."

"As long as he knows when to back off, let’s not engage with him," Xia Chuyi said.

"Hmm." Huo Shiqian responded, though it was unclear if he took it in.

The two then set aside this topic for the time being.

"Brother Shiqian, is your mission busy?" Xia Chuyi asked, "If you’re not too busy, let me show you around our school, and my Magic Shop at the school gate!"

"Magic Shop? Is it the US version of what you mentioned on the phone, ’Youwei—WEI’?" Huo Shiqian asked her.

"Yes!" Xia Chuyi laughed and said, "That’s it, you have no idea, a perfectly good braised meat shop has turned into a Magic Shop now."

"The customers all call themselves magic enthusiasts." Saying this, Xia Chuyi herself couldn’t help but chuckle and shake her head.

Huo Shiqian said, "It’s just a gimmick; what truly keeps people coming is still the delicious taste of ’Youwei’ itself."

"That’s true." Xia Chuyi nodded and said, "Come, I’ll show you around our school!"

"Okay." Huo Shiqian nodded in agreement.

Then, hand in hand, they strolled through the university campus.

During the walk, Huo Shiqian told Xia Chuyi about his visit to the United States.

"I wasn’t originally scheduled to come." Huo Shiqian said, "Knowing you were in the US, I applied to come."

"The itinerary is a bit tight, so I could only find time amidst my schedule to see you." Huo Shiqian said, "Before returning to the country, I’ll have two or three days free, I’ll come to see you then."

Upon hearing him mention how busy his schedule was, Xia Chuyi immediately said, "It’s okay, the country’s business is more important."

It was already very challenging for the two to meet in a foreign land.
