The red sun of the pill was still hanging high, extremely bright, hitting Xiao Yichen's face with a coquettish beauty.
When Shen Nanbao heard the thunderous heartbeat in his ears, his calves trembled and he stepped back, wishing he could bury his body in the rockery.
Seeing this, Xiao Yichen stepped forward with his tall body and sneered: "Fourth girl, you seem to be very afraid of me."
He was close, and his low voice was like bubbles rising from a deep pool. With a pop, it bloomed on the tip of Shen Nanbao's heart.
She trembled in panic, trying to maintain her usual composure, but her voice stumbled like a bird with folded wings, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, if you make such a sudden move, everyone will inevitably be startled."
He came closer, and the slightly astringent Su Hexiang encircled her instantly like a mask.
Shen Nanbao couldn't hold on any longer and stretched out his hand to resist. The dense golden patterns on his chest seemed to be warmed by the man's heartbeat. It burned along the fingertips and made her blush.
"Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, if you let people see you like this, I'm afraid it will cause criticism and stain your innocence."
Xiao Yichen narrowed his eyes, and his thick eyelashes cast shadows against the sun, cutting out the slightest slit in his eyes with a playful light.
"Didn't the fourth girl just say that I have a bad reputation? Even if I have a bad reputation, why should I be afraid of this criticism?"
Only then did Shen Nanbao come to his senses and became a little angry at being ripped off. "Commander of the Palace, you are the commanding officer. I'm afraid it's not good to eavesdrop on what others are saying."
Xiao Yichen was not annoyed either. He wore the blazing sun on his shoulders and said in a serious tone, "I came over to change my clothes, but my ears were bright and I heard it. It's just... Miss Fourth, you're not that good at talking about people behind their backs."
Shen Nanbao became embarrassed, and her crisp fingertips like spring bamboo shoots curled up slightly on his chest.
Xiao Yichen noticed it and buried his head. He could clearly see her flushed cheeks in the skylight. He slightly raised the corners of his mouth and said in a more teasing tone, "Fourth girl, you haven't answered my question yet? I really love you." So well said?"
Shen Nanbao's arms were sore and numb from the support. He was caught off guard and a little startled when he heard this question, "What, what?"
The corners of Xiao Yichen's mouth raised more and more, and his voice became drawled and careless, "Didn't the fourth girl just say that Xiao is very handsome and charming?"
Shen Nanbao felt increasingly embarrassed and sweaty formed between his fingers, "Your Majesty, your Majesty is naturally handsome..."
She raised her eyes slightly to look at the person in front of her. The enlarged facial features were still as exquisite as those of an immortal, and there was nothing picky about them.
Because of this, her flattering words were also mixed with sincerity, "Your appearance is obvious to all, otherwise how could you be the dream entrustment of so many women in the boudoir."
She squeezed back a little at a loss, and found herself in a dilemma. After careful consideration, she asked: "Your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, can you step aside a little bit?"
Xiao Yichen was in a daze and didn't hear her suggestion. He just nodded helpfully, "Miss Fourth is absolutely right, but Miss Four, you are wrong about one thing."
A little?
Which point?
Shen Nanbao looked at him with stunned eyes.
The tips of his slightly squinted eyes were deeply hidden, and Xiao Yichen rolled his throat, "The fourth girl said that I chose a wife because I have a high vision, but in fact it is not..."
Shen Nanbao rolled his eyes and asked blankly, "No?"
After Xiao Yichen heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said softly, "It's because I like you, Miss Fourth."
My heart was beating loudly, eager to squeeze out of my throat.
Puffs of heat also came out from the collar, making Shen Nanbao dizzy. She said with difficulty, "Commander, please don't make fun of me."
Although he said this, his hand stretched out straighter.
Feeling the intensity, Xiao Yichen stopped laughing and said, "Since the fourth girl thinks I'm teasing you, the fourth girl can tell you why you don't believe me."
Shen Nanbao was about to open his mouth when he heard him reply: "I can refute them one by one."
What's the use of saying that?
He could argue with her.
Can she refute him?
Shen Nanbao felt that she had never been so depressed since her rebirth. The air in her chest was so suffocating that she couldn't spit it out or swallow it down. It was suffocating her to death!
She couldn't help but gnashed her teeth and faced him with a strong head.
When Xiao Yichen saw this, he slowly backed away.
The influx of fresh air made Shen Nanbao gasp for air like a dehydrated fish. He was freed from Su Hexiang's surroundings, and his chaotic brain finally started to work.
They only met three times.
How can he think highly of himself?
But why did he do this?
Enjoy her?
Or to retaliate against her just now?
She thought deeply, and a green light flashed across her eyes.
She raised her eyes and saw that the glazed hairpin was held in Xiao Yichen's hand, as if she was being held within a small space in his palm.
In the flash of lightning, Shen Nanbao finally understood, "Is Fang Guan your person?"
Her tone was no longer respectful, but Xiao Yichen listened with a satisfied smile on his face, "The fourth girl is really smart, she can detect something fishy about Fang Guan in just a few days."
The hand that was raised just now was lowered, and there was a sore and numb feeling from the blood flowing down. Shen Nanbao couldn't help but clenched his fingertips, with a wary look on his face, "Commander, why did you send someone to my room?"
"Why..."
Xiao Yichen half-glazed his eyes and spoke in a longer tone as always, "Since the fourth girl can guess that Fang Guan is mine, how can she not guess why I am doing this?"
Shen Nanbao's heart tightened, fearing that he would say those obscene words again, and he twitched the corner of his mouth, "The Commander-in-Chief has great plans, how can I predict it."
Xiao Yichen seemed to read her fear, nodded, and said in a manly voice: "Since the fourth girl said so, I will also speak frankly... I want to share weal and woe with the fourth girl."
Sharing weal and woe is the oath of a couple holding hands, and it is proof that love is stronger than gold.
The words were extremely ambiguous, but Shen Nanbao understood what he meant, and he wanted to be her internal agent.
Shen Nanbao stared at him warily, "What kind of person is the Commander-in-Chief? He shares weal and woe with a little girl, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold. How can the Commander-in-Chief not be afraid of being dragged down?"
"drag?"
He seemed to have heard a very funny joke and sneered several times, "The fourth girl was able to hide someone like Old Mrs. Yin from someone who was so perceptive, which caused the mistress of the Shen family to be in chaos. Using them to kill their enemies, she would Is it a drag?”
The summer wind hit like a heat wave, making people's chest feel tight. Shen Nanbao clenched his fingers irritably and curled his lips, "What if I don't want to?"
A hand jumped out of sight. The fine porcelain was flawless, making the folded hairpin in the palm look particularly inferior.
Xiao Yichen's smile sank into his eyes and he looked at her faintly, "If the fourth girl doesn't want to, then I will give this broken hairpin to your grandmother now and ask her to nod in front of everyone and let me marry the fourth girl, but Okay? Anyway, giving me the second girl is a gift, but giving me the fourth girl is also a gift, isn’t it?"
A gust of slanting wind blew by, and the crabapples above the head fell one after another, and the fragments were left in Shen Nanbao's small bun.
Xiao Yichen stretched out his hand to pick it up for her.
However, Shen Nanbao shrank back and looked at him fearfully.
Xiao Yichen's eyes darkened slightly, but the corners of his mouth raised even higher, "What do you think, Miss Four?"
The voice is deep and tender, and the lingering love words are so chilling that it makes people feel desperate to the core.
Even Shen Nanbao, who had traveled through the underworld, couldn't help but feel trembling in his heart.
And she can also understand that Xiao Yichen conspired with her. The so-called so-called is not her resourcefulness at all, but her identity.
Shen Nanbao lowered his eyes and looked at his palm.
The green hairpin held in his hand seemed to be contaminated by the blood of those soldiers, and had the power to steal people's souls, forcing her to a critical moment of life and death.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help feeling sullen. She took a deep breath and said, "Commander, no matter how bad your father is, he is still my father. Aren't you afraid that if I agree to you now, I will regret it in the future?" "
This is the wonder of blood.
Just like Shen Nanbao obviously has no impression of Gu Xiaoniang, but he is still willing to do everything for Gu Xiaoniang.
Xiao Yichen has been humiliated by his father for many years, but he still doesn't want to give up.
Xiao Yichen naturally understood the truth, so he gave a reasonable answer: "Miss Fourth, do you think your father was right about what happened back then?"
She wanted to use Shen Shi's ignorance to excuse him, but for some reason she couldn't.
In fact, she also understood that her mother's tragedy was not caused by Peng alone, but by her father's indulgence, her grandmother's acquiescence, and the prejudice of others.
But no matter what, she never thought of taking her father's life.
Probably seeing her hesitation, Xiao Yichen replied: "Four girls, don't worry. After all, Mr. Shen and my father have a long-term friendship. They have watched Xiao grow up since they were young. No matter how much Xiao hates him, he cannot do anything to kill my father's best friend." Xiao’s move was just to let Mr. Shen taste what it was like when my father was isolated and helpless."
Just like my mother back then.
Just like her original purpose.
Shen Nanbao's heart moved, and he met his serious gaze after all the joking expressions were gone.
In a daze... Having said this, she no longer knew how to praise him.
Shen Nanbao frowned tightly, gritted his teeth and nodded as hard as he could, "Okay."
Xiao Yichen didn't care about her difficult answer, he just nodded, looked at her clenched hands and said, "Fourth girl."
Shen Nanbao was stunned, and raised his hand for no apparent reason, revealing his pink and soft palm.
It's as if her tough outer shell has been peeled off, revealing the most fragile inner part.
Realizing this, Xiao Yichen's heart beat inexplicably, and the noise was abnormal. He couldn't help coughing, and dropped the folded hairpin like a hot potato.
The heavy weight made Shen Nanbao move his hand slightly downward, but his autumn eyes looked at him with surprise, "Commander, give it back to me, aren't you afraid that I will regret it?"
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you have this or not.
As long as he says it, others will believe it even if they don't believe it.
This was the advantage of being above the top of power, but Xiao Yichen seemed to be really impressed by her suggestion and accepted it. He took out a jade pendant from the Seven Things of Wan Yu and handed it over.
This time it was no longer thrown in the air, but placed firmly in her hand.
The hot fingertips traced across her palm, and the vague touch was like a feather passing over her heart, itching.
Shen Nanbao couldn't help but hold the jade pendant tightly.
Xiao Yichen nodded with satisfaction and raised his chin slightly. On his arrogant face, his eyes seemed to contain a ball of warm sun, which made people melt when he looked at it.
"Four girls, keep it safe, this is our 'token of love'."
