Chapter 27: Girl, Please Respect Yourself
After a safe journey, Su Xian left the courtyard, found the toilet, and released the capacity.
So cool!
My mind seems to be much clearer.
The night in the restaurant was still quiet, with gentle breeze and moonlight. Walking through the corridor in front of the guest rooms, faint snoring could be heard one after another...
What a peaceful night!
Su Xian walked in the corridor where lanterns were hung, lost in thought.
What I saw and heard in the courtyard just now was not a dream. What a torrent was surging under this peaceful night.
"Bandits, princesses, Liao people, these are not people I can afford to offend right now. I am just a nobody, so it is better for me to protect myself."
Su Xian paced back and forth, with many thoughts running through his mind.
"But... this is about the Liao people. If the Liao people really come south to invade and plunder, then it won't be a matter of keeping oneself safe... What should I do?"
"I just recognized Tang Ju as my uncle, how about telling him the news?"
"No, no, I can't be reckless. I don't have any evidence ... Never mind, let's go back to my room and sleep, and see what happens tomorrow."
The plan was decided, and Su Xian quickened his pace.
Unexpectedly, when he turned a corner in the corridor, the corner of his mouth twitched, his whole body suddenly stiffened, and he almost turned around and ran away.
I saw a young girl of about eighteen or nineteen, dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing an intricate and exquisite silk dress. Her face was delicate and beautiful. She was extremely stunning at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was no flaw at all, and her facial features were beautiful as if were born naturally.
This woman was none other than the young girl that I had just seen in the courtyard.
The one who calls herself "Princess".
She walked towards me with graceful lotus steps.
Her hands were placed naturally in front of her abdomen, holding a round fan embroidered with a picture of a lady. Her clothes fluttered in the wind, and there was a very sweet smile on her beautiful face.
A pair of bright eyes flickered with a faint smile.
Two maids followed behind him.
Su Xian's breathing stagnated and his body stiffened for a moment. He suddenly became alert and decided not to show any abnormality.
He was not discovered when he was eavesdropping just now, so meeting him here at this moment must be a coincidence.
In fact, in order to avoid accidents, he had deliberately taken a detour... He couldn't escape by running.
After making up his mind, Su Xian looked straight ahead, tried to act normal, and walked towards the young girl.
Prepare to pass by her side.
"Oops, she seems to be sizing me up."
Out of the corner of his eye, Su Xian saw that the girl coming towards him was looking in his direction with her head slightly tilted, her smile still on her face.
Su Xian's scalp tingled. Could it be that his eavesdropping had been discovered?
But it was too late to escape...
There was no choice, Su Xian had to go ahead with it.
Getting closer.
Getting closer.
The two were less than half a foot apart.
From the corner of his eye, Su Xian caught a glimpse of her shimmering silk dress, which was white in color and embroidered with many cloud patterns and exquisite designs with reflective silver threads.
As it moves, it reflects dazzling fragments of light.
Su Xian's eyes moved slightly, and he saw the girl's hands folded in front of her abdomen holding a round fan, with the fan covering her chest.
He couldn't help but think that it seemed too strange to ignore a living person and walk past him without looking sideways... In order to make it more realistic, Su Xian unconsciously side-glanced at the face of the young girl.
After just a glance, Su Xian immediately looked away, his heart pounding.
Because the girl was staring at him...
A little closer.
Seeing that they were about to pass each other, Su Xian's heart was in his throat.
Fortunately, the girl's figure had disappeared from the corner of his eye, but the girl did not take any action.
call!
Su Xian let out a breath, it seemed like he was worrying too much.
Meeting that girl here must be a coincidence.
However, just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a pleasant voice sounded behind his ears: "Sir, please wait a moment."
Su Xian paused and slowly turned around.
The girl had stopped and turned to face Su Xian, her smile still lingering. She looked Su Xian up and down with her bright eyes and said with a smile, "This young man is so handsome!"
Su Xian's mouth twitched, vaguely feeling that this woman was teasing him.
But there is no evidence.
"The girl is also very beautiful... It's late at night, you should go back to your room and rest early. Goodbye!" Su Xian bowed, turned around and left, his steps a little hurried.
"Hey!"
Along with the girl's teasing voice, a round fan embroidered with a picture of a lady suddenly appeared in front of Su Xian.
The fragrant breeze filled his nose, blocking his way.
Su Xian's heart sank, thinking that he might be in trouble tonight.
He forced himself to be strong, turned around slowly, and saw that the girl was still smiling, with a hint of smile in her bright eyes.
But in Su Xian's view, it was a smile of playing with prey!
"What do you mean, young lady? Why are you blocking my way?" Su Xian took a deep breath and looked at the girl calmly.
He was dressed in a Confucian robe and had an upright posture, looking quite like a righteous scholar.
But the fear in his eyes betrayed him.
Now he is just a weak scholar, powerless.
And the girl in front of him, who looked like a princess, and the subordinates who looked like bandits...
Now Su Xian can only pretend, pretend to be a passerby, pretend that he did not eavesdrop on their conversation. This is the only way.
"My lord, you just said that I am a beauty, is that true?" The girl took back her round fan and covered her moderately sized chest with it, smiling.
"Of course it's true." Su Xian pretended to be polite.
"If that's the case, why did you turn around and leave? I'm so beautiful, don't you want to take a few more glances at me?" The girl continued to smile.
Her voice was pleasant and soft, her smile was damn sweet, and the words she said had a seductive meaning.
For a moment, Su Xian almost thought she was a vixen.
Or the courtesan or pimp in Pinyu Pavilion.
"Don't look at anything inappropriate." Su Xian responded. As long as she didn't break up with him, Su Xian would have to continue pretending.
"Hehehe..." The girl laughed like a silver bell, "Since you shouldn't look at anything inappropriate, why are you staring at my face?"
Su Xian’s old face darkened and he looked away.
The girl's smile is so sweet that one can easily become addicted to it and cannot extricate oneself.
"It's getting late. It's really unsafe for a girl to wander around in this corridor. It would be bad if she met a criminal... You'd better go back to your room and rest early."
Su Xian put on an attitude that he was doing it for her own good.
"oops!"
The girl's expression suddenly changed, and she looked around in horror, fan in hand, as if she was frightened.
Then she looked at Su Xian pitifully, rushed over without saying a word, and said, "Where are the criminals? I'm so scared, sir, help me!"
Su Xian raised his eyebrows, subconsciously took two steps back, put his hands in front of him, and shouted in fear: "Don't come over!"
The girl rushed forward with her hands in front of her, hitting Su Xian's hands, but her force was unexpectedly weak.
"Sir, save me..." The girl looked so pitiful and her voice was so soft that people couldn't help but want to pin her to the ground and whip her hard on the spot.
"Miss, please respect yourself." Su Xian suppressed his primitive impulse and pushed his hands away.
"Since you don't want to, then forget it." The girl smiled and took two steps back, a satisfied smile in her bright eyes.
But Su Xian fell into deep thought.
In his opinion, the girl rushed over to him not to ask him for help or to throw herself into his arms, but to catch him.
But the girl did not grab him, but stepped back.
Also, why is there a "satisfied smile" in her eyes?
