Chapter 17 It really was her.



But she was too tired to speak.

She wanted to find a quiet corner to sit down and rest for a while, but as soon as she moved, her body suddenly froze.

My legs are numb.

Xiong Lu, being both bold and observant, was the first to notice something was wrong with her and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong, Doctor?"

Chen Xiyin waved her hand.

But this guy misunderstood and yelled, "Fourth brother is dying?!"

The result was overwhelming support.

"What?!"

"Why can't you breathe? You're still breathing!"

"Please, miracle doctor, show us your divine powers once again!"

...

I want to sew their mouths shut.

Shen Qiyin pressed her temples and said helplessly, "His current condition is passable. He won't die anytime soon. As long as he can get through the next three days safely, his life will be saved."

"Oh...that's good, that's good."

Xiong Lu still looked at her with a puzzled expression: "Then what happened to you just now?"

"...My legs are numb."

"Hey... you should have said your leg was numb sooner." Xiong Lu acted like it was no big deal and he had a plan.

Upon seeing this, Shen Qiyin looked wary.

Is he going to carry her again?

The thought of how she almost vomited her leftovers filled Shen Qiyin's eyes with resistance, and she took a step back, dragging her nearly "useless" leg.

This step was another excruciatingly painful experience, causing the body to tilt uncontrollably.

But his arm was held firmly in place.

She glanced at the owner of the hand, only to unexpectedly meet a pair of cold, piercing eyes.

"...Thank you, Lord Xiao."

Xiao Yan didn't say anything and silently withdrew his hand.

With him there, Xiong and Lu didn't dare to cause any trouble, and the surroundings immediately became much quieter.

Chen Qiyin grasped at a straw as if she had found a lifeline.

After standing there for a moment, she dragged her heavy steps out and sat down opposite Xiao Yan.

No one dared to approach within a ten-foot radius.

The world is finally peaceful...

Chen Qiyin closed her eyes slightly, enjoying the rare tranquility, but in a daze, she felt an undeniable gaze fixed on her from the side.

She turned her head as if sensing something, and her eyes met Xiao Yan's.

His gaze was deep and inquisitive.

She calmly let him look her over, and took the opportunity to look at him carefully in return.

This was the first time she had ever interacted with Xiao Yan, spanning both her previous and current lives.

Just as rumored, he was aloof and distant, unapproachable to strangers, and just as...incomparably handsome, like an immortal.

Although it's only half a face.

As for the world's description of him as "a ruthless killer," Shen Qiyin has not yet seen that.

While I was thinking, I suddenly heard the other person say, "I didn't know when you would finish, so I didn't have anyone prepare a meal. You can have some snacks to tide you over. The kitchen is already preparing them."

After saying that, he even pushed the plate of pastries on the table towards her.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly as she settled down.

The commander of the Thousand Eagle Guard is truly "gentle and considerate".

She knew in her heart that Xiao Yan's offer to eat was a pretense; his real intention was to lure her into removing her mask.

Without hesitation, she reached out and picked it.

She chose to cover her face, partly because her master required it, and partly to avoid being recognized.

But the Thousand Eagle Guards were not among "those people".

After all, if they wanted to investigate, she couldn't hide it from them anyway, so she simply decided not to bother.

Xiao Yan's gaze was sharp and fixed on her face, but there was no trace of surprise in his eyes.

It really was her.

Those calm and serene eyes were so beautiful they were almost dazzling, making them unforgettable.

Shen Qiyin casually placed the mask on the table, without any arrogance, and picked up a pastry and took a bite.

With just one bite, her eyes suddenly lit up.

It's delicious!

The outer layer is crispy, the inside is soft and chewy, and it tastes sweet but not greasy. Just the aftertaste makes your mouth water.

The fragrance of incense made her squint.

Xiao Yan looked at her quietly, a hint of interest flashing in his deep eyes.

If her actions of secretly plotting against Feng Heng and Shen Ruyin when they first met at Jing'an Temple were like a fierce little wildcat, then at this moment, she is a little glutton with nothing but food in her eyes.

only--

According to the information gathered by her subordinates, she has never liked sweets, has she?

With a slight flicker in his dark eyes, Xiao Yan asked her calmly, "Is it delicious?"

Chen Xiyin nodded.

He was chewing and chewing, completely oblivious to what was happening.

Xiao Yan: "You like to eat it?"

Shen Xiyin continued to nod.

Still chewing.

Just when Xiao Yan thought she would finish the whole plate of pastries, she suddenly stopped.

He raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask, "Why aren't you eating?" Had his question earlier made her wary?

As a result, Shen Qiyin replied crisply, "I'll take the rest with me." She'll take it back to her family's honeysuckle to try.

After she finished speaking, she realized what she had said and asked Xiao Yan uncertainly, "Is it okay?"

Xiao Yan was speechless.

For this reason...

She was practically the first person in the capital to eat and take so much food at Qiying Pavilion.

They've always been the ones preying on others, but this is the first time they've been taken advantage of.

But he said, "Okay."

Thank you!

Shen Qiyin was visibly happy, seemingly even happier than when she had schemed against Shen Ruyin that day. Her beautiful lips curved slightly, and her radiant smile was enough to make the world pale in comparison.

She had never eaten such delicious snacks before.

Any good things in the house were given to her two older brothers. Even if there was extra, her mother, to show her kindness and virtue, would always let Chen Ruyin and her brother enjoy it first.
