CHAPTER 1026: CHAPTER 1026: THE PRINCE AND THE PRINCESS (2)

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.

"It is reported that the Northwest Army has begun action with two officers. We just interviewed a general who stated that a military exercise will take place tonight. For the newly appointed princess, this will be a tough challenge. Next, let’s take a look at the opinions of the princess and her husband, the future king of A Country..."

"I suppose you’re not European, are you?" The waitress lightly brushed his palm with her finger, "Or do you have some Asian descent?"

Releasing the remote control, Huangfu Qi raised his hand and placed the book he had finished on her chest.

"Here, this is for you! You should read more when you have the time."

The waitress lifted her face, and the man placed a bill on the table, striding away.

...

...

Congo, remote area.

A team of volunteers is helping trim hair and clean nails for the children of a village... and administering vaccines to them.

Due to a recent rain, the dirt yard was all muddy, and many children were barefoot, walking through the mud, while in the distance were low houses with no entertainment facilities.

The children waiting were curiously gathered around a radio, which despite the poor signal, could only receive a few simple stations, yet it was still a fascinating thing for them.

Chongchong, wearing a white coat, smiled and supported a two-three-year-old black boy, wiped the tears from his face, then took out a lollipop from her pocket, speaking to him in the local language, "Don’t cry, sister will give you candy, okay?"

The little guy had just been shot and was now wailing with his mouth open, but upon seeing the pretty rainbow lollipop in her hand, he immediately stopped crying, grabbing it and putting it into his mouth.

"No, not like that." Chongchong helped him with his small hand, tore off the wrapper, and handed it back to him, "Now you can eat it, but next time, wash your hands before eating, okay?"

Due to the lack of medical care, these children didn’t have the chance to get vaccinated, resulting in early mortality among many.

This time, the volunteer team came here specifically for these children.

These past few days, they had completed immunization work in several villages, and this was the last one.

Tasting the sweetness, the little guy smiled through his tears, showing a beautiful set of white teeth.

"Go ahead and eat!" Patting the little guy’s shoulder, Chongchong called to the little girl behind, "It’s your turn."

The little girl hesitated to step forward, so she walked over, patiently guiding her to the doctor.
