Chapter 1662 Knee Pillow
The space in the carriage was small and dimly lit.
The two looked at each other in silence.
This strange but not awkward atmosphere lasted for a long time. Li Chi suddenly smiled softly and said,
"What are you looking at me for?"
Xia Fuyi said indifferently,
"Aren't you looking at me too?"
Li Chi fell silent again. After a moment, he slowly shifted his gaze and raised his chin towards the quilt inside the carriage.
"You lie down and sleep, I'll just lean on you."
"No,"
After Xia Fuyi finished speaking, she leaned against the car wall, holding her sword and closing her eyes, looking determined.
Li Chi curled his lips, but did not fall asleep.
He leaned his head slightly against the car wall, his eyes under the mask looking aimlessly at the roof, as if he was thinking about something, but also as if he was thinking about nothing.
After a long time, when Xia Fuyi slowly opened her eyes, the man opposite seemed to have fallen asleep.
The faint firelight shone through the car curtains, casting a dim shadow on him.
The mask covered half of his face, with only his lips and a small part of his jawline exposed, shrouded in light and shadow, revealing a kind of almost gentle grace.
Xia Fuyi looked at him steadily for a long time, and after a long time, she couldn't help but reach out to touch the amber hidden in her sleeve.
The carriage was not very spacious, and perhaps because he was really asleep, Li Chi's knees relaxed slightly, tilted a little, and gently touched Xia Fuyi's white robe, and under the robe was her knees.
Xia Fuyi's whole body stiffened instantly.
It was clearly just a very subtle touch and an almost imperceptible temperature, but she felt like a small animal whose blood was poked in its bloodstream. All the hair on her body stood up and she was frozen in place, not daring to move.
I didn't want to move away, but I didn't dare get any closer either.
Miss Xia sat like this with her eyes open and her body stiff for most of the night, until she finally closed her eyes when she could no longer hold on.

The next day, at daybreak, Lian Tang's voice rang out from outside the carriage.
"Sir, shall we continue on our journey?"
Xia Fuyi slowly opened her eyes, her dark eyes still covered with a layer of confused mist, which neutralized her usual coldness and distance. She looked like a small animal with soft fur, completely harmless.
But this look only lasted for less than a breath. After her eyelashes crossed again, her vision became completely clear.
And she immediately realized something was wrong.
Before she fell asleep last night, she was clearly sleeping with her eyes open, leaning against the car wall, but now... she could see the car window opposite, and there was no one in front of the window.
And under her head, there was clearly soft cloth and...a body.
Before Xia Fuyi could turn her head to look, the curtain of the car was lifted up by a hand.
Lian Tang poked his head in from outside.
"Sir, we..."
His words suddenly died in the middle of his speech, and his eyes suddenly widened into copper bells.
Xia Fuyi, who was stared at with such a shocked look, finally came to her senses. She blinked and turned her head to look.
The black-clad man's graceful and sharp jaw and the low-key and luxurious silver mask appeared in my sight.
As if noticing her gaze, Li Chi lowered his head.
His eyes were lowered, with a faint smile and a slightly cool sense of distance.
Xia Fuyi looked at him for a moment, then immediately lifted her head from his knees and got out of the carriage.
Although the girl's expression remained cold, her back looked like she was fleeing in panic.
It seems that he was scared.
Li Chi smiled faintly, reached out and knocked his legs that were numb from the pillow, raised his head and said to Lian Tang,
"Let's get going, as fast as possible."
Lian Tang nodded and walked out stiffly.
