"Whoosh!"
A whooshing sound came from the air.
Qin Wan immediately pushed Qi Xiao to Ji Wenruo's side, instinctively protecting the two of them.
"Clang!"
The crisp sound of swords clashing with arrows rang out...
Qin Wan blocked the first arrow.
But soon, countless whooshing sounds came from the air.
A barrage of arrows!!!
"General!"
Qi Xiao instinctively grabbed Qin Wan's hand, his palm tightening slightly. In that instant, he instinctively wanted to protect her behind him.
Unexpectedly, his sudden action not only failed to protect Qin Wan, but also affected her.
Helpless, Qin Wan could only gently pat his chest and fling him toward Ji Wenruo.
"Take good care of my older brother."
After saying that, she went to meet them...
The moment the carriage broke apart, Qi Xiao's pupils contracted sharply.
she!!!
She had just reached out to slap him away when she actually took an arrow for him.
This woman...
Does she really trust him that much?
His background is so difficult to investigate...
Clearly...
[Ri Qixiao's favorability increased by 10, current favorability 23.]
This was the first time in his life that someone had protected him.
Because of his status as a prince, he suffered countless humiliations in the Cold Palace.
Because he had the blood of the Great Xia Dynasty flowing through his veins, his wife, who was a princess of the Loulan Kingdom, disliked him very much.
I never protected him.
They stood by and watched him being bullied.
Another arrow came flying in, and Qi Xiao tightened his grip on Ji Wenruo's hand, his tall body instinctively tensing up.
Just as he hesitated, that slender figure once again leaped forward to block their path...
"Whoosh whoosh!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!!!"
The sounds of arrows piercing the air and striking each other echoed continuously.
Qin Wan always protected them, always...
Furthermore, Qi Xiao noticed that she always prioritized deflecting the arrows aimed at him and protecting him before going to protect Ji Wenruo.
She's biased towards him...
A voice in his mind kept reminding him that this was just Qin Wan's scheme, and that her kindness towards him was definitely not out of kindness, but rather for ulterior motives.
Definitely!
Even so, Qi Xiao's gaze towards Qin Wan changed slightly...
[Ri Qixiao's favorability increased by 5, current favorability 28.]
Whether it was genuine or feigned, this was the first time someone had shown him favor.
This was the first time someone had protected him.
Protecting each other with one's own body...
Qi Xiao's lips curled slightly, and when he looked at Qin Wan, a faint look of "determination" appeared in his eyes that even he himself did not realize.
Even if it's feigned, so what?
She was the one who approached him first.
She provoked him first.
So even if it's all in pretense, then let's keep pretending for the rest of our lives!
You absolutely mustn't change your mind...
[Ri Qixiao's favorability increased by 30, current favorability is 53.]
In that instant, the sudden surge in favorability did not make Qin Wan happy; instead, it gave her a faint sense of foreboding.
Something's not right...
During a brief moment while deflecting the arrows, Qin Wan glanced at Qi Xiao.
A pair of unfathomable, eerily unsettling black eyes were staring intently at her...
The moment their eyes met, even Qin Wan, who had already guessed what was going on, couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.
"Clang!"
"Bang!"
This momentary lapse in concentration gave the assassin lurking in the shadows an opportunity to strike...
A swift arrow hurtled towards them...
Qin Wan's pupils contracted; it was too late to hide now.
At the critical moment, a tall figure appeared in front of her with incredible speed.
His long, slender hand with distinct knuckles silently wrapped around her slender waist...
Hold it firmly, then gently pull it with your palm...
In an instant, Qin Wan's slender body rushed into his embrace, a strong masculine scent wafting towards her, mixed with a faint herbal fragrance...
"Clang clang clang!"
"Clang!"
"Crackling and popping!"
The noise around her grew louder, and Qin Wan subconsciously wanted to look up to see what was going on.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, a long, slender hand pressed down on her head, stopping her movement.
"good."
"I'll take care of everything!"
Qin Wan froze, her movement of looking up paused, and miraculously, she obeyed...
[Ri Qixiao's favorability increased by 2, current favorability is 55.]
Time is slipping away quietly...
The noise around me grew louder, accompanied by screams and wails...
Qin Wan didn't know how much time had passed.
When everything calmed down, and when Ji Wenruo's anxious voice reached her ears, Qin Wan finally woke up from her dream.
She looked up from Qi Xiao's embrace and gazed at the man before her.
Their eyes met...
The undisguised tenderness in Qi Xiao's eyes made Qin Wan's pupils shrink.
!!
The one during the day was indeed more dangerous, insane, and paranoid than the one at night...
Yandere!!!
"Doctor Qi..." Qin Wan hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
Qi Xiao raised an eyebrow, his eyes gazing tenderly at Qin Wan, his voice rising at the end, "Hmm?"
Qin Wan: "..."
"What is the background of Doctor Qi? His martial arts skills are in no way inferior to Wan's..."
Ji Wenruo's sudden question broke the ambiguous atmosphere between Qi Xiao and Qin Wan.
Qi Xiao's cool gaze swept over him indifferently, his thin lips curving slightly.
"I come from Shengjing," Qi Xiao said calmly. "My surname is Xia."
summer!
The royal surname of the Great Xia Dynasty!
Qin Wan fell silent, while Ji Wenruo's expression changed slightly.
"Is Doctor Qi a member of the royal family?"
“My birth mother came from Loulan, and she once aspired to the position of Imperial Noble Consort.”
"Are you the seventh prince?" Ji Wenruo blurted out.
Qi Xiao glanced at him indifferently, then returned his gaze to Qin Wan's face.
Qin Wan: "..."
"Will the General blame me for concealing this?" Qi Xiao asked quietly.
He finally stopped referring to himself as a commoner.
"The Seventh Prince is of noble status, I dare not." As she spoke, Qin Wan shifted her body, trying to break free from Qi Xiao's embrace.
Unexpectedly, it would have been better if she hadn't moved...
As she moved, Qi Xiao tightened his grip on her waist.
With a slight exertion of his large hand, her body not only failed to break free of the restraints, but instead pressed even more tightly against Qi Xiao's burning hot body.
Qin Wan: "..."
"Seventh Prince, this is not in accordance with propriety for us to act this way."
“I share a bed with the General every day. Now that the General is injured, how can I stand idly by?”
Sharing the same bed and pillow every day...
Sharing a bed and pillows...
These words kept echoing in Ji Wenruo's mind...
Have Wan'er and Doctor Qi become this close?
Wan'er...
How could Wan'er do this?
This Doctor Qi... no, this Seventh Prince is going too far!
He and Wan'er were both unmarried, yet he acted this way. Where does he place Wan'er's reputation?
How will Wan'er face the world in the future if he does this?
he……
Ji Wenruo grew angrier the more she thought about it, and felt that Qi Xiao was going too far.
Thinking of this, Ji Wenruo, who was usually gentle and easy to talk to, suddenly put on a stern face, strode forward, and reached out to pull Qin Wan.
"Please, Seventh Prince, let go."
“Wan’er is unwell, and as her elder brother, I will take good care of her.”
Meeting the coldness and rejection in Ji Wenruo's eyes, Qi Xiao's thin lips curved slightly, revealing a meaningful, faint smile.
