How many people were still hiding in the darkness?
At this moment, Dirk’s contempt for China completely disappeared, leaving only reverence.
No wonder before he came the Count had instructed him not to offend anyone; even if they looked ordinary or they appeared to be beggars.
“Okay Dirk, Yoyo is my friend. I don’t think she’ll hurt me.”
Yoyo was the nickname she created for Song Yaoyao.
The word ‘Yao’was a little difficult for foreigners to pronounce.
Song Yaoyao curled her lips and her eyes were misty. She did not object and did not nod.
In the darkness, Huo Jiu smiled at Dirk.
Dirk lowered his head. “Yes, Miss Alice.”
This time, it was his fault.
He did not even notice that dangerous people were approaching. But he also knew that if these people wanted to kill them, they would have done so long ago. They had no ulterior motive for sending him away.
“Then, Honorable Miss Song, please take good care of Miss Alice.”
After saying this, he took off his coat and started running.
Fortunately, it was still very cold at this time. Everyone was busy connecting with each other in the banquet hall, so there were very few people who went out for a walk.
“Do you mind if I take your pulse?”
“Of course not.”
Alice raised the corners of her lips and quickly handed her hand to Song Yaoyao. “Is it like in the movies? Are you applying amazing Chinese medical skills on me?”
Song Yaoyao’s finger fell upon her wrist, but she could not feel her pulse at all.
This did not make sense… Unless the person sitting next to her was not a person, but a ghost…
She did not have any characteristics that a living person should have, and her pulse did not beat.
Song Yaoyao said with interest, “Let’s not talk about whether Chinese medical skills are magical or not. I only know that you’re about to die.”
She had seen this kind of illness in her grandfather’s notes. In his entire life, he had only encountered one case.
There was no name for it.
But rather than calling it an illness, it was more like ‘black magic’…
How interesting. A foreigner was poisoned by black magic.
“Ah…”
Alice retracted her hand and sighed. “This is really a sad story.”
“Yeah, it’s really sad.”
Song Yaoyao waved at Huo Jiu and took her silver needle bag from him.
“But, before you die, I can let you have a taste of the delicacies of China. How about that?”
She blinked and smiled mischievously.
“If I can have a taste of the delicacies of China, that would be great.”
Alice did not resist and even faced death calmly.
Song Yaoyao had a good impression of this girl. She seemed weak, but she had a strong soul.
“This is for you.”
Alice took off the necklace around her neck and handed it to Song Yaoyao. “I’m sorry for testing you at the banquet, but Yoyo, I really like you as a friend.”
Song Yaoyao smiled. “I like you too.”
“I’ve long accepted my fate. Although our friendship is very short, I’ll always remember you.” Her smile was very sweet, and her dark green eyes were like pools of crystal clear water. “In the future, as long as you have a need, take this necklace to any shop in Country Y with an iris flower pattern. Someone will take you to find my father, and he will fulfill one of your wishes.”
“Of course,” she gently went forward and hugged Song Yaoyao, “If I haven’t gone to meet God by then, I can also fulfill your wish personally.”
“I wish you good luck.”
“Thank you.”
Twenty minutes later.
Dirk came back panting. He was startled when he saw Alice sitting alone on the bench. He quickly walked over and looked around vigilantly.
