"Third Princess, are you looking for me?" Shi Qing held a clean towel in his left hand, ready to wipe his hair.
I'm just surprised, why is Shen Yan in his room?
Shen Yan turned around hastily, her face turned red and her heart beat faster, and her breathing quickened: "Well... no, I'm not looking for you."
My head felt like it was shut down and I couldn't move fast enough.
Why are you nervous and shy? It’s not like you’ve never seen this before...
Just when she was trying hard to adjust her mentality and prepare to turn around and explain to him properly.
Suddenly, the person behind her moved, and then, a white-steamed hand gently pulled her right hand. The warm temperature gradually came over, like an electric shock, making her freeze in place. .
Shi Qing lowered his eyes and looked at her bandaged wound with distress: "You were injured before, and you bit my hand out of fear of pain."
Following his words, Shen Yan thought of everything between the two of them, and a trace of sadness could not be driven away from her heart.
"The me before was too weak and useless." Shen Yan's tone was as calm as the wind, but there was still a hint of sadness: "The me now is no longer needed."
As soon as she finished speaking, she wanted to withdraw her hand.
But Shi Qing held on tightly, and he was worried about the injury that would involve the palm of his hand. He simply grabbed her wrist and held her palm with his big palm, his movements were domineering but gentle.
He said: "You don't have to be like the young lady."
Shen Yan raised her eyes slightly, and the person behind her turned her around, facing Shi Qing's clean and clear eyes.
Shi Qing was born with single eyelids, and the shape of his eyes is not as narrow as Fu Xizhou's, but it also makes his eyes look more clear and firm.
"It is undeniable that the young lady is indeed different from many ordinary girls, and I respect her very much, but it turns out that you are also very cute."
"You are very considerate, have a simple mind, and have a pair of wise eyes, able to distinguish right from wrong, and you are also willing to sacrifice yourself in the face of major events. You are already better than many people in the world."
Every word Shi Qing said was like a warm breeze, slowly flowing through her heart.
It warmed her whole body from the inside out.
This was the first time that I heard someone praise her sincerely, and she was the one I liked.
How could she resist? Suddenly, a fire was burning in her chest, and even her eyes were burning.
She said hoarsely and in a low voice: "You are just comforting me."
Shi Qing shook his head and his eyes were unprecedentedly transparent: "I am speaking from my heart. The third princess I know is like this. She will do anything for the person she cherishes. If she can be regarded as a cherished person by the third princess, Really lucky.”
He also wants to be her cherished person.
Shen Yan's eyes were trembling, and she stared at Shi Qing for a moment. She had a lot of things to say, but they were all stuck in her throat, and all she could spit out were empty sighs.
She withdrew her hand and hid her right hand behind her back, as if she was angry: "Why didn't you say these things earlier?"
She had tried so many times before.
But Shi Qing, a piece of wood, never responded even once.
What's the use of saying these words now?
Shi Qing could only look at the empty palms of his hands and said in a low voice: "Because I was trained to be a tool when I was very young. My responsibility is to protect the second young master. I have to watch him, do things for him, and not let anyone down. , and no one taught me how to express my inner thoughts." Bayi Chinese website
He rarely has his own private affairs and doesn't have many feelings.
Even if you like someone, it takes a long time to realize it.
But when I realized it, it was already too late.
Hearing this, Shen Yan raised his eyes to look at her again. She was still not angry with him at all, and even began to feel sorry for him.
In fact, the two of them are very similar at heart. They are both people who like to think about others and rarely think about what they need.
Such people live a very tiring life, but they need someone to love them well.
Shi Qing felt the change in her eyes and raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Maybe it's too late, but I still want to say that the third princess is the third princess. You don't have to be like anyone else. You are the best as you are."
Shen Yan was stunned on the spot, her eyes gradually filled with light, and her shoulders straightened up subconsciously.
She also smiled softly: "Thank you last night for risking your life to save me from Li Ente."
"If the princess really wants to thank me." Shi Qing raised his head and hung the towel around his neck, holding both ends with his hands.
Suddenly he raised his lips and smiled, revealing a slightly green smile, like a male high school student bathing in the sun. The usual serious and steady sense of severity was gone, and the sun was full of youth.
"Then please, princess, don't say thank you to me again. No matter what I have done for you, you don't need to say it."
Shen Yan blinked his eyes. There was no expression on his face, but deep down in his heart, it was like thousands of troops passing by, making noise everywhere.
After being stunned for a long time, she asked: "Why?"
For the first time, Shi Qing crossed the gap between their identities. He raised his hand generously and rubbed it on her head: "No reason. Princess, please rest first. I'll change my clothes and go out."
Then, he picked up his clothes and went into the bathroom to change. When he came out again, he was no longer in a suit and leather shoes.
It was as if everything that happened was a dream.
Neither of them had any clues.
A few days later.
Earl's residence.
Gu Beisheng looked at the information shared by the president on the tablet and pressed his chin in confusion: "There is obviously no record of Mrs. Aier's coming and going. Why did we wander around the basement for several days and couldn't find her?"
Shen Yan was taking off his guard uniform and shook his head.
"I don't know. The two of us dressed up as guards and patrolled the basement for three or four days according to the scheduled shift every day. We almost memorized how many rooms there were in the basement and how many murals there were in the corridors, but we didn't see them at all. An inhabited figure.”
On the other end of the tablet was Fu Xizhou, who was talking on the phone at the same time. He was also checking information, and his voice was cold and calm.
"Have you changed the guard duty information several times?"
Gu Beisheng nodded: "Well, 24 hours a day, we went on patrol in three shifts at different times, and Aier was not there."
"Let's go take a look tomorrow and look carefully." Shen Yan was not discouraged, he just wanted to do better.
Gu Beisheng narrowed his fox eyes thoughtfully and looked away from the window sill.
That's Walker's main hall.
"Do you think it's possible that Mrs. Al is not in the basement, but living in the Earl's palace?"
Fu Xizhou's approval sounded from the tablet: "Well, before, Mrs. Aier's identity had not been exposed, so she had to live in the basement."
But the basement has been widely known to the public, and she really doesn't need to hide anymore.
