Chapter 1964 [Shangxie] I thought you had self-awareness
It’s like a familiar person standing in front of you suddenly turns into a high and mighty god, with a look of condescending indifference.
It was clearly right in front of her, but when Xia Fuyi looked at the man, she suddenly felt that he was very far away from her.
·
Xia Fuyi quickly calmed herself down. She looked at the man in front of her, staring into his eyes and whispered to him, word by word,
"Don't you know me?"
The man did not avoid her gaze. He seemed to smile when he heard her words, with the corners of his mouth raised a little. In the dim moonlight, he looked like a flower that was about to decay, with a hint of drunkenness and death.
He looked at Xia Fuyi and asked back word by word,
"Should I know you?"
"Do you think you are qualified to know me?"
Xia Fuyi fell silent. Behind her, the footsteps of the Royal Guards were getting closer and closer.
This thief, who had just been chased by the whole palace for stealing steamed buns, was not in a hurry at all when he heard the footsteps getting closer and closer.
She turned her back to the window, staring at the man with a very calm tone.
"Just pretend I don't know you."
"I'm sorry to break into your house, but I figured I'd be discovered pretty quickly."
She asked calmly,
"Do you know how thieves who break into the palace and steal things are usually dealt with? So I can prepare myself mentally."
The man's pupils shrank slightly.
The two of them stared at each other in a stalemate as the footsteps got closer and closer, as if waiting for someone to speak or move first.
The silence became increasingly suffocating due to the sound of footsteps.
The man finally couldn't help but retract his fingers, clenching his teeth for a moment and then loosening them.
He turned his eyes away and said coldly,
"Go in and find a place to hide."
Xia Fuyi smiled silently with her eyes curved, and then she quickly walked into the depths of the hall with a sword in hand. She hesitated for two seconds at the door of the bedroom, gave up her position on the ground, and jumped directly onto the beam. The moment she jumped onto the beam, someone knocked on the door of the hall.
She couldn't hear the voices outside clearly from her position, but in a very short time she heard the door opening and the footsteps of the imperial guards coming in.
Then she quickly began to be glad that she had chosen the beam, because the imperial guards searched very carefully, even crawling under the bed to search.
After a round of search, those people retreated again.
Xia Fuyi jumped down from the beam, took a deep breath, and walked out quickly. However, she stopped after taking two steps because the man in red was standing at the door.
Standing like this, Xia Fuyi became even more certain that this person was Li Chi.
For such a long time, she had even copied this person's height in her mind countless times, not to mention his noble temperament that gave off a sense of distance even when he was silent.
But there is still a difference.
This man, who was always silent but gentle in her impression, now looked at her expressionlessly, holding the wine jar in one hand. He seemed to be shrouded in a lifeless darkness, and his voice was cold and indifferent.
"Xia Fuyi."
He finally called out her name, slowly and coldly,
"I thought you understood why I left without saying goodbye, but it turns out you don't care at all?"
The meaning of this statement is very straightforward, it means that she is shameless.
Xia Fuyi was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help licking her lips, then stiffly started another topic.
"Are you feeling better? Where did Lian Tang go?"
Li Chi smiled, walked slowly inside, raised his head and took a sip of wine.
