Shi Xi stiffened and slowly turned her head, seeing Di Er not far away, along with a man and a woman she had never seen before.
The bookshelf where Shi Xi was hiding was located at the back of the desk, to the right of Di Er and the other two. It was not visible to the others unless one was paying attention.
She only had eyes for Di Chenxiao, and never imagined that there would be other people in the study.
It was Emperor Yi who was laughing heartily.
"Miss Shi is so cute, so incredibly cute!"
Shi Xi took a sip of milk tea to calm her nerves, then took the milk tea from Di Chenxiao's hand and sat down next to him.
She feigned composure and said, "I know I'm cute!"
Waaaaah—
How embarrassing!
Di Chenxiao gave Di Yi a cold look.
Di Yi felt a chill run down his spine under Di Chenxiao's gaze and suppressed his mocking thoughts.
Di Chenxiao patted Shi Xi's head affectionately and said, "Xi Xi, why are you here so early today? I was going to greet you at the door."
"I went to see Zhou Jin, but Brother Qin kicked me out!"
"Sweetie, I'll teach her a lesson for you!"
"Brother Qin wanted us to spend more time together, so he sent me away."
Di Chenxiao: "She did the right thing!"
Shi Xi: "..."
Di Yi winked and asked Di Er, "Is this fickle and gentle person my master?"
Di'er glanced at Di Yi with disdain and nodded.
Di'er lowered his head, a slight smile playing on his lips. His master's affection for Shi Xi was genuine.
She was making a fuss, and he was laughing; they were talking about Shi Xi and Di Chenxiao.
Only those who truly love someone will childishly play along with them.
Shi Xi looked at the woman standing at the front with bright eyes. She was about twenty years old, with an oval face, a thin figure, and an expressionless face, with a faint chill emanating from her.
"Xiao Xiao, who is this young lady?"
Di Chenxiao coldly called out, "Thirteen."
Thirteen said coldly, "Miss Shi, this is your subordinate, Thirteen."
Di Chenxiao: "Thirteen is the person I chose to protect you. Do you like him? If not, we'll find someone else."
Di Yi's eyes widened in surprise. "Change it?"
Is this a joke?
Thirteen is the most capable person besides the other ten, and he has put a lot of effort into training Thirteen.
In the Shadow Guard, those who fail in their missions usually meet a bad end.
Thirteen is no exception. If Shi Xi doesn't like her, she will be taken back to Whale Fall Island and subjected to grueling training again.
Di Yi stared at Di Chenxiao's face, trying to find even the slightest hint of lying in his master's expression, but found none.
The master is serious.
If Shi Xi doesn't like it, Thirteen will be sent back to Whale Fall Island, and then he will choose the strongest one from the other secret guards.
Even Thirteen's cold heart felt a hint of panic.
Once a member of the secret guards leaves Whale Fall Island, none of them want to go back for retraining, and she is no exception.
Shi Xi stood up, walked to Thirteen's side, and said with a smile, "Thirteen, I'll have to trouble you to protect me from now on! Aren't you incredibly capable? Protecting me is a bit of an overkill for you!"
Don't worry, I still have to go to school. During the day, Ashi will protect me at school, and after school, you can stay by my side and protect me.
You're free to do whatever you want during my class. Ashi is relatively free; he'll protect me, so it won't be a waste of his talent.
Imperial Visit: ? ? ?
Ashe?
Is Indra relatively free?
Can the thirteenth prince be compared to Indra?
One was an unnamed bodyguard, and the other was the leader of the bodyguards!
Thirteen: "I will do my best to protect Miss."
Thirteen didn't know that the "Ashi" Shi Xi mentioned was Di Shi. When she found out that the "relatively idle" person Shi Xi mentioned was Di Shi, even she, who was used to being expressionless, couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.
Shi Xi: "Thank you!"
