Shi Xi heard the door close and was somewhat puzzled.

Shouldn't the door be left open?

Oh well, it's not like I'm doing anything shameful anyway.

Seeing the guard easily find the first-aid kit, Shi Xi asked, "How did you know the first-aid kit was here?"

The guard opened the first-aid kit and said indifferently, "I've been trained."

Have you received training?

Shi Xi's gaze fell on the guard's face. "I don't think I've seen you before. Are you newly transferred here?"

The guards selected by the royal family are all tall and handsome men. Shi Xi had admired the guards at the gate a few days ago and vaguely recognized one of them.

But she had never seen this guard before.

Brown hair and brown eyes, deep-set features, tall and straight like bamboo, and long, beautiful fingers.

“I’m on duty today.” The guard’s long, slender fingers picked out a band-aid from the first-aid kit and said, “Please extend your hand.”

Shi Xi added, "Let's disinfect it first."

She was afraid that pesticide residue might remain on the flowers in the garden.

The guard took out disinfectant, knelt on one knee, and held the girl's hand.

Shi Xi's heart raced, and she wanted to pull her hand back.

The guard carefully disinfected her finger and put on a band-aid.

"Thanks." Shi Xi withdrew her hand and said with an awkward smile, "You can go back to your shift."

The guard looked up at Shi Xi and said in a low voice, "Be more careful next time."

After saying that, the guard got up to leave.

"Wait," Shi Xi called out to him, "Come here."

Guard: "Is there anything else you need?"

"Why don't you call me Princess?" Shi Xi asked.

The guard didn't speak.

Shi Xi leaned back in her wheelchair, her voice turning cold, "Didn't you receive training? Don't you even know how to address me?"

No matter how much she emphasized it to Sena, Sena would still call her Princess.

But this guard never shouted.

Xie Yunzhou sighed helplessly, squatted down in front of Shi Xi, and asked in his original voice, "How is your leg?"

"It's just a fracture, you just need to rest and recover." Shi Xi recognized Xie Yunzhou's voice. "What happened to your face? Weren't you shot? What are you doing here?"

"You have to disguise yourself to sneak in." Xie Yunzhou reached out and pinched the girl's cheek. "I'm fine, don't worry."

Shi Xi opened her arms and said, "Hug."

Afraid of hurting the girl, Xie Yunzhou held her gently, finally feeling a little at ease.

It was worth all the effort he put into getting here.

Shi Xi had a lot to say.

Upon seeing Xie Yunzhou's unfamiliar face, he was speechless.

That's strange.

It's like dating a stranger.

"Once your foot is a little better, I'll take you out." Xie Yunzhou gently kissed the girl's cheek. "Don't be afraid."

"I'm not scared." Shi Xi hugged his neck and said earnestly, "You also need to protect yourself and not get discovered."

"good."

Shi Xi let go and said, "You should go out first, so that no one suspects anything."

Xie Yunzhou was reluctant to leave, but he could only get up and prepare to go out.

But just as he was about to leave, the doorknob turned.

Xie Yunzhou's eyes turned cold and deep.

The door was pushed open from the outside, and Ryan walked in. Seeing the man in the room, his eyes sharpened. "Why didn't you stand guard at the door? How did you get in?"

Shi Xi spoke first: "I just pricked my finger with a thorn. Since Saina went out, I asked him to come in and put a band-aid on it for me."

The guard lowered his eyes. "It's what I should do."

Ryan narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said, "Well done. Leave your number, and I'll have the guard captain give you a raise."
