But the very next second, the man sent her a private message, sending a screenshot of their mutual quip in her social media circle, saying: [Okay, screenshot as proof.]
Ye Xingguang was baffled: [Screenshot as proof of what?]
Ye Junqing: [Didn’t you claim that my remaining years have been reserved?]
Ye Xingguang couldn’t quite control the corners of her mouth, fearing to expose her good mood. She hummed, replied: [I haven’t even posted a selfie yet. Who gave you the screenshot proof.]
[Waiting for you.] Ye Junqing replied in two words.
Despite being mere words, when Ye Xingguang read them, she inexplicably felt a vague ambiguity. Like a white shroud before the window, the night breeze blew, silently stirring her heart…
She stared at it for a while, unsure what to reply, so she happily put away her phone.
At this moment, she heard a dismissive voice from a girl at the next table: “Does A Country’s national treasure really represent the highest singing abilities in A Country? It’s just average. I don’t know how A Country has the shame to promote Xia Yanyan every year, chanting about protecting the world’s most beautiful mermaid, and scrambling for the rights to the Nasea’s seas at the United Nations.”
Ye Xingguang peeked over, who was saying Xia Yanyan’s singing was just okay?
Putting aside personal grudges, Xia Yanyan’s voice was really good. The mermaid’s natural good voice is just slightly worse than hers.
Xia Yanyan’s listing as a national treasure is, of course, because this mermaid is related to national interests.
Not to mention the mermaid copyright belonged to A Country. Any other country that wished to produce mermaid-related merchandise had to buy the rights from A Country. More importantly, this mermaid helped A Country gain more support from other countries in the battle for ownership of the Nasea’s seas.
Decades ago, the rights to Nasea’s sea area were wanted by several nearby countries, leading to a stalemate.
Nasea Sea is abundant in submarine resources, including natural gas and oil. It’s a huge treasure that every country wanted.
Later, the government of A Country organized a research team who, after investing huge amounts of manpower, material resources, and financial resources, finally created the gorgeous mermaid Xia Yanyan.
Upon Xia Yanyan’s birth, she attracted worldwide attention.
Over the years, the country has used Xia Yanyan as the national treasure’s ambassador to gain votes of support from friendly countries at the United Nations, securing the rights to the Nasea’s sea area and earning a fortune from natural gas and oil.
No wonder the country protects Xia Yanyan’s interests, granting her various privileges, even establishing a national treasure committee to prevent any harm to her.
In the end, it’s all because of national interests!
Now, someone dares to mock their country. Xia Yanyan and Ye Xingguang both disagree. Coldly, she responds: “Who said the national treasure represents the highest level of singing in the country? The national treasure is just our country’s ambassador. Every girl in A Country is a treasure, everyone is talented. If you disagree, why don’t you sing for me?”
Upon hearing this, the other girl seemed delighted and looked at Ye Xingguang: “So if my performance is better than your national treasure, A Country will no longer boast about possessing the world’s best singer?”
She, on the other hand, came prepared. She was tired of A Country raising the mermaid to heaven.
Her country, K Country, intended to send her to slap them in the face and to prove the best singer in the world wasn’t from A Country!
Ye Xingguang hesitated. She wasn’t in a position to make this statement. She was an unknown figure and her cousin should be the one speaking. As long as it comes to national pride, Ye Xingguang didn’t want to lose: “Let’s have a competition then!”
