Putting down the book in his hand, Huangfu Qi reached for the cake on the table and was about to grab the spoon when he heard the news broadcast on the TV.
"This morning, General Barton of F Country officially announced the independence of the Northwest... At the same time, the parliament has officially announced to the public the discovery of Princess Gula, who was previously running for election as Miss Gan Yuan..."
He turned his face to look at the screen, where live footage was being broadcast, showing the army setting up camp along the riverbank.
The waitress had little interest in political news from foreign countries, raising the remote control to change the channel.
"Wait!"
Huangfu Qi put down the spoon in his hand and stood up to walk towards the counter.
Watching the man approach her, the waitress's heart couldn't help but race, "You..."
Huangfu Qi did not look at her expression but focused on the screen.
