Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao'er (17)

"Hello, but very sorry, I can't speak English."

Yu Bao'er could only repeat the sentence she used most frequently these few days to him.

The other party seemed a tad taken aback. No idea if she was imagining things, she thought she saw his smile fade a little. But still, he remained gentlemanly and gracious, and he started speaking in not-so-fluent Mandarin, "Beautiful Eastern lady, are you Chinese?"

Hearing him speak in Mandarin, Yu Bao'er nodded in delight. "Yes, can you speak Mandarin?"

"I learned it for a while back in school. I can't speak it very well though."

Lloyd gave her a polite and charming smile. Yu Bao'er shook her head. "No, you speak very well. At least your grammar is very accurate."

Although his accent sounded a tad awkward, it didn't stop her from comprehending what he was saying.

"Oh? Really? Beautiful lady, I wonder if I have the honor of having you teach me Chinese?"

Yu Bao'er was slightly nervous.
