Chapter 202 Eating Dessert
Under the guidance of Xiaoyuan and Xuyan, Xu Yuan knew that money was needed to buy things, but she had no money now. She felt a little embarrassed at the stall just now, so she left in a panic.
Passing by a dessert shop, Xu Yuan looked through the glass window at the exquisite desserts displayed inside, her eyes shining and her face filled with a smile.
But when she remembered that she had no money, the smile on her face disappeared, and she hung her head, looking listless.
Xu Yuan sat on the ground, leaning against the glass window behind him, hugging his legs and burying his head in his chest. He was like an abandoned kitten, lonely and helpless.
She wanted to eat, but she had no money and she was unhappy.
Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan were standing on the roof of a building not far from Xu Yuan.
Not long after Xu Yuan left, the two followed the connection between them and found her. However, they did not take her home directly, but wanted to see the results of their teaching in the past few days.
It seems to be relatively successful so far, and everyone is fine.
"Oh my! The other me was crying and making a fuss because I had no money to buy dessert. So pitiful!" Xu Yan squinted his eyes, put his left hand on his chest, covered his mouth with his right hand, and teased with a smile.
"But Xiaoyuan didn't cry or make a fuss, but she did look quite pitiful." Xiaoyuan said matter-of-factly, "Let's go down."
Hearing Xiao Yuan's straightforward words, Xu Yan rolled her eyes. She just thought that Xu Yuan's situation was very rare, and happened to think of the tone of a certain pink-haired fox teasing her best friend, so she said it out loud.
However, Xiao Yuan was not aware of this, and Xu Yan lost his interest. He nodded and said, "Let's go."
The two left the rooftop and arrived in front of Xu Yuan in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yuan sensed that Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan were very close to him, so he quickly raised his head. When he saw the two people in front of him, his eyes lit up. He pointed at the cream puffs in the dessert shop with his left hand and said, "Buy."
Seeing this, Xu Yan looked at Xiao Yuan beside him, spread his hands, shook his head slightly, and said sadly: "It seems that to her, we are not as attractive as desserts."
Xiao Yuan squatted down, looked at Xu Yuan with a smile, rubbed her hair, and said, "She doesn't have so many thoughts now, she's just a child. She wanted to eat just now. Come on, Xiao Yuan, I'll take you to buy it."
After saying that, Xiao Yuan reached out to pull Xu Yuan. When Xu Yuan heard Xiao Yuan say he wanted to buy her something, she stood up. Then Xiao Yuan took Xu Yuan's hand and walked into the dessert shop together.
Xu Yan looked at the two of them from behind, rubbed his temples, and complained quietly, "Taking care of children is really boring."
After saying that, she also walked into the dessert shop.
In an alley not far from the dessert shop, a man in plain clothes watched the three people walk into the dessert shop and murmured in a low voice: "Two 'witches', but why does the 'witch' in the windbreaker act so much like a child? Forget it, why think so much, just tell His Majesty."
At this time, in the dessert shop, Xu Yuan was sitting on a table and eating cream puffs. Because the chair was relatively high, her feet could only dangle in the air.
Xiao Yuan and Xu Yan sat opposite Xu Yuan, with a plate of pudding in front of Xu Yan. Xiao Yuan didn't order anything, but put his hands on the table, supported his chin with one hand, and watched Xu Yuan eat with a smile.
After Xu Yuan ate a cream puff, she saw Xiao Yuan looking at her, then looked at the five cream puffs in front of her. Without hesitation, she picked up a cream puff, handed it to Xiao Yuan, and said, "Here you go."
Seeing this, Xiao Yuan smiled even more. He reached out and took the cream puff that Xu Yuan handed over, saying, "Thank you, Xiao Yuan."
When Xu Yuan saw Xiao Yuan take the cream puff, she also smiled, then picked up another cream puff and started eating.
Xiao Yuan took a bite of the cream puff and she felt that it was much more delicious than the ones she had eaten before.
Xu Yuan, Xiao Yuan, and Xu Yan shared the last three puffs. After eating, Xu Yuan ordered a bunch of fruit pies.
An hour later, the three were still in the dessert shop, and Xu Yuan was still eating. Xu Yan felt a little bored, so he left first.
Another two hours passed before Xu Yuan walked out of the dessert shop contentedly with Xiao Yuan and returned home.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, in the office of the president of the Magic Association, Bulman received an edict from Emperor Zhang Hao, which roughly stated that Zhang Hao would meet two "witches" in Haoyuan Palace tomorrow morning.
Haoyuan Palace is where Zhang Hao usually handles government affairs.
Bulman knew that Zhang Hao would not do something without a purpose. Since he had issued this decree, it meant that another "witch" had returned.
The association didn't know that Xu Yuan had returned because Xu Yan hadn't been to the Magic Association in the past few days.
Boorman thought about it and remembered that Xia, Afra and Xu Yuan had a good relationship. He decided to let the two of them go to Xu Yuan's house to convey the news.
Thinking of this, Burman left the president's office and walked towards Xia's office.
Arriving at Xia's office door, Boorman knocked on the door. After hearing Xia's voice from inside, he pushed the door open and walked in.
As expected, Aphra was there too, and since they had nothing to do right now, they were both playing on their phones.
When Xia and Afra saw Burman come in, they both put down their phones. Xia smiled and asked, "President, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Burman said calmly, "Well, there is one thing. Go to Annika's house and tell her to meet His Majesty at the Haoyuan Palace tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, Xia and Afra were a little confused. They hadn't seen Xu Yuan for nearly six years, and they didn't see her today either. Even if they went to Xu Yuan's house, would they be able to find her?
Xia asked in confusion, "Annika is back?"
Boorman nodded and said, "He should be back, otherwise there would be no need for your Majesty to do this."
"Then why doesn't she come to the association?" Xia asked.
"I don't know either." Boorman shook his head.
"I understand, President. We will go." Xia said with a smile.
Hearing this, Boorman was about to leave the office. When he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something, turned around, and said, "By the way, tell her that this is a holy order and she cannot shirk it."
Boorman remembered that Xu Yuan didn't like these, so he asked Xia and Aphra to remind her.
"Okay, President." Xia nodded.
Xia and Afra were very happy to hear the news that Xu Yuan had returned. Although they had not spent much time together, they both liked Xu Yuan very much.
During these six years, the two of them had also learned from Xu Yan a lot of things that happened to Xu Yuan in the academy, and also learned some things that happened before she arrived in Morvis City.
However, Xu Yan concealed the part about what happened before arriving at the city of Morvis and did not tell those things directly. He focused on the incident of being chased by the dragon.
After knowing these things, the two felt that Xu Yuan was quite pitiful, as he had to endure so much at such a young age.
