The Evil Dragon Only Wants to Survive (Lily ABO) - Chapter 8
“It was a night destined to be different. The sun set exceptionally early, and the white beacon lights lit up one by one, illuminating the entire outpost. Two people from different countries met unexpectedly at an inconspicuous corner.”
Mo Beiyi actually knew someone was there, but an irresistible force pushed her forward, causing her to collide with the person.
“Bang!”
The other person must have been in a hurry. The force of the collision was not small, and they didn’t stop in time, knocking Mo Beiyi and her documents to the ground.
Instantly, the papers scattered everywhere, and Mo Beiyi’s head hit the ground. Her consciousness and vision were blurry for a moment.
Which idiot is running around in a place like this?!
“I’m sorry!” Jiang Yibai quickly got up and reached out to help Mo Beiyi to her feet.
“It’s my fault for being in such a hurry; I’m really sorry!” She immediately knelt to pick up the scattered documents, apologizing as she did so.
When she finished and handed the documents to Mo Beiyi, she saw Mo Beiyi staring at her blankly.
Jiang Yibai was also stunned.
The girl in front of her was half a head shorter. Her long blue hair was tied up behind her head, and her eyes were a rare golden color.
“Jiang… Jiang Yibai?” Mo Beiyi looked at the nametag on her chest in disbelief. She was wondering if there was a bug in the plot. She had waited for so many days, and today, she just happened to be delivering a document for Gu Xiyi and ran into her?
“Are you okay, uh… little sister?”
I am not okay at all. I think you’ve knocked another few decades off my lifespan.
Seeing that Mo Beiyi was still staring at her blankly, Jiang Yibai didn’t bother with the formalities. She was in a hurry to find the teacher, so she tore off a piece of paper, wrote down her number, and told Mo Beiyi she would treat her to a meal to apologize properly next time. Then she immediately ran off.
Mo Beiyi sighed, watching Jiang Yibai’s back, and felt like the note in her hand was a hot potato. She wondered if she should give it to Gu Xiyi, but wouldn’t that seem strange?
Forget it. I have to believe in these two. Excellent people attract each other, after all. Jiang Yibai and Gu Xiyi didn’t just have physical chemistry; they also had an ideological connection. That’s why the Gu Xiyi in the novel loved Jiang Yibai so deeply.
Sure enough, even though she accidentally ruined their first meeting, the plot would still find a way for the two of them to meet.
She just hadn’t expected this meeting to be arranged by old man Gu.
Old man Gu—Gu Ning—was over seventy, but besides a few gray hairs on his head, he was still as strong as a middle-aged man. At the moment, he was talking to another general. Seeing the two girls arrive, he introduced them to the general.
“Truly the children of General Gu. I can see that both of you have an extraordinary temperament and are destined for great achievements.”
Gu Ning’s eyes were smiling, and he was very pleased with the praise.
So the other general seized the opportunity and introduced his own student.
It was Jiang Yibai!
Mo Beiyi knew Jiang Yibai was a spy for the Federation. This general must also be a spy. No wonder the Empire had been losing ground all these years. Who knows how many Federation pawns there were in the army?
“Hello, it’s nice to see you again.” Jiang Yibai smiled at Mo Beiyi.
The two generals, claiming that the younger people had more to talk about, walked away to chat, leaving Jiang Yibai and the girls together.
Although it was a bit awkward at first, the female lead and Jiang Yibai quickly started a conversation with Mo Beiyi as the topic.
Mo Beiyi discreetly moved a few steps away, secretly listening to their conversation.
Jiang Yibai spoke softly and was neither humble nor arrogant, while Gu Xiyi seemed happy to have found a kindred spirit.
As one of the female lead’s Alphas, Jiang Yibai was naturally good-looking. Her facial features were deep and defined, but not as aggressive as a male Alpha’s. She was tall and slender. Standing next to the female lead, they were a beautiful sight, one stunning and the other handsome.
Tsk, what a perfect match.
What an eyesore.
That’s right.
Two completely different voices suddenly echoed in her mind. Mo Beiyi didn’t have time to think about it when she saw the two of them walking toward her.
“I didn’t expect the two of you to be sisters,” Jiang Yibai said.
That’s true. The two of them look completely different. Only a blind person would think they were sisters.
Then, Jiang Yibai invited them to a meal to apologize.
Mo Beiyi buried her head in her food, and Jiang Yibai occasionally glanced at her. She had never felt so conspicuous.
And these two really knew how to talk. Their topics were all over the place. As they talked, they got to the protests that had been happening in the Empire over the past two months.
Jiang Yibai naturally thought the White Flame Society was doing a great job and said she hoped to meet the president sometime. She was curious how someone could build such a large organization in a country that was so discriminatory against Betas and Omegas.
You’re dreaming. The president is the Third Princess, and you two will be mortal enemies later.
“What about you, Beiyi?” Jiang Yibai suddenly threw the question to her.
Mo Beiyi’s mouth twitched. She saw Gu Xiyi watching her, too, seemingly eager to hear what she would say.
What do I think? I think with my eyes!
“I also think it’s quite good…”
After a long pause, Mo Beiyi finally managed to say something useless. But the two of them were still looking at her as if they wouldn’t stop until she said something more.
“It shows that a lot of people agree with your will, but I believe…” Mo Beiyi looked at Gu Xiyi, paused, and continued, “This cannot solve the problem at its root.”
“The idea that Alphas are superior has been deeply ingrained since ancient times. Thought determines consciousness, consciousness determines behavior, and behavior determines the result.”
The Empire’s compromise was only because there was a greater external threat.
“So you think… what should be done to change their way of thinking?” Gu Xiyi was surprised that her little dragon cub, who never read, could say something so philosophical.
“You can’t build without breaking.”
The words slipped out of her mouth, and even Mo Beiyi herself was stunned. She had thought about it, but she hadn’t meant to say it out loud.
“You can’t build without breaking…” Gu Xiyi repeated.
Seeing the two of them deep in thought, Mo Beiyi also fell silent.
It’s all because I studied Marxism so well in my previous life.
Mo Beiyi looked down at the chicken in her bowl, but for some reason, the bowl shook, and the meat flew out.
Mo Beiyi: !?
Then came a violent shaking of the ground, followed by a deafening roar. The lights in the restaurant suddenly went out, and a piercing alarm sounded.
“Enemy attack! It’s an enemy attack!”
