Si Yi didn't answer, but instead gave her five taels of silver.
A smile immediately appeared on Lü Qiao's face. "Thank you. I will definitely repay you when we get to Xiangzhou. By the way, I just saw a clinic next door. Your wound needs to be re-treated and bandaged. You can go there first. I will buy some clothes and then come to find you."
Si Yi thought he didn't need to pay it back, but she had said so much all at once. Before he could say anything, she took the money and ran to the clothing store next door.
Upon seeing this, he paused for a moment, vaguely understanding what was happening.
Lü Qiao bought herself a set of clothes to wear both inside and out, and also bought a set for Si Yi. Finally, she bought several menstrual belts and some needles and thread.
She knows how to make menstrual belts, but because of the sudden situation, it's too late to make them now, so she simply bought everything she needed from this shop.
By the time she had finished buying everything, Si Yi had already booked two rooms at the inn next door.
Lu Qiao felt sticky and uncomfortable all over. After hesitating for a moment, she said to Si Yi, "I want a room with a shower. Can we change rooms?"
Si Yi thought she was a hassle, but she still told the shopkeeper.
Upon suddenly seeing such a beautiful and charming girl, the shopkeeper couldn't help but glance at Lü Qiao.
But Si Yi keenly caught his glance. His face darkened, and he said sternly, "What are you looking at?"
The innkeeper immediately lowered his head, not daring to look any further. "I...I didn't see anything," he said, and hurriedly instructed the waiter beside him to lead the two to their guest room.
Because it has a shower, the room that Green Beauty wanted was on the first floor.
After thinking about it, Si Yi also changed his second-floor guest room to a first-floor one, which was next to Green Beauty's.
Of course, Lü Qiao had already gone to the guest room with the waiter and was unaware of this.
After entering the guest room, Lü Qiao asked the waiter for hot water.
Once the hot water was ready, she took her newly bought clothes and menstrual pad and went into the shower.
The bathtub was already filled with hot water.
After closing the doors and windows, Lü Qiao began to undress.
Because she was menstruating, she couldn't sit directly in the bathtub to wash, so she asked for this kind of shower room.
After taking off her outer garment, she didn't rush to shower, but instead washed her hair first.
After washing her hair, she turned her back to untie her undergarment and prepared to take a bath.
However, when she was halfway through untying her bodice, she suddenly heard a noise coming from the window behind her.
Perhaps because of what she had experienced in the past two days, she had become exceptionally perceptive, and even the slightest disturbance could make her nerves tense.
She immediately turned around to look and saw a dark shadow reflected in the window; there was a hole in the paper window.
A pair of eyes were peering through the hole.
This discovery shocked Lü Qiao.
"Ah, a pervert—" she screamed, clutching her chest, and ran outside.
At the same time, the door was kicked open, and Si Yi strode in. "What happened?"
The sound stopped abruptly, and the girl stared in astonishment at the disheveled, scantily clad young woman.
When Lü Qiao saw him suddenly burst in, she was stunned for a moment, but she didn't care that she was only wearing a blouse and underwear. She quickly pointed towards the shower room and said with a pale face, "Someone is peeping through the window..."
Si Yi's expression darkened, and he strode out.
Seeing this, Lü Qiao quickly tried to follow.
Si Yi noticed, but didn't turn around. "Put your clothes on and stay here."
Lü Qiao then realized what was happening, looked down, quickly raised her hand to cover her face, and nodded with a flushed face.
Si Yi closed the door and quickly walked towards the backyard of the inn.
When he arrived, the peeping tom had already disappeared.
He gave a cold laugh and stopped searching.
He went straight back to Lvqiao's room.
He knocked on the door and asked, "Lvqiao, are you done?"
Green Fairy, wrapped in a blanket, went to open the door.
When Si came in, he was taken aback to see her wrapped in a blanket.
Lü Qiao explained, "My clothes were all in the shower room. I was worried that the person was still outside the window, so I didn't dare to go in again..."
Si paused for a moment, then asked, "Do we still need to wash it?"
Greenie rubbed her feet awkwardly and whispered, "I only washed my hair once..."
Si Yi's gaze fell on her bare feet on the ground. After thinking for a moment, he said slowly, "Go in and wash. You can keep watch over her."
Green Fairy looked up at him, "How are you going to guard it?"
"I'll go to the backyard," Si Yi said.
Hearing this, Lü Qiao felt relieved and said, "Thank you."
Si Yi suddenly curled his lips into a half-smile and said, "Can you even thank me enough?"
Lu Qiao was stunned for a moment before she realized what he meant.
Indeed, he has already helped her too much.
Thinking it over, she lowered her eyes and said, "I still want to thank you."
"A verbal agreement is fine," Si Yi said, then turned and left.
Watching his departing figure, Lü Qiao muttered, "What else do you want?"
Si Yi, who had already reached the door, paused when he heard her muttering, and turned back to look at her.
The girl stood in the room, her long, wet hair sticking out, her clear black and white eyes looking at him innocently.
Si Yi's fingers, gripping the door, tightened involuntarily.
He then casually closed the door and left.
Green Qiao felt her breath catch in her throat when he looked at her, as if she had been caught red-handed talking about someone behind their back.
Did Si Yi hear what she said?
She was somewhat embarrassed.
Knowing that Si Yi was guarding her in the backyard, she didn't dare to delay. She quickly went over, locked the door, and then went to the shower room.
Knowing that Si Yi was right outside the window, she felt at ease.
But before taking off her clothes, she still went to the window and called out, "Si Yi, are you there?"
"Hmm." The boy's uniquely cold voice came through.
Lü Qiao was completely relieved.
It's really strange. Knowing that Si Yi is right outside the window, she wasn't worried at all, even though there was a hole in the window.
Perhaps she believed in her heart that Si Yi wasn't that kind of person, which is why she acted without restraint.
She took off her clothes, scooped water from the bathtub with a ladle, and poured it over herself.
The feeling of warm water flowing over my body is so comfortable.
However, knowing that Si Yi was waiting outside, she didn't dare to linger too long. She quickly washed up, changed her clothes, and opened the window.
It was already evening. The young man leaned against the wall, the dim sunlight shining on him, as if he were coated with a warm yellow light. The coldness on his usually cold and handsome face was dispelled, and a touch of warmth appeared.
Hearing the sound of the window being opened, the boy looked up.
The girl stood by the window, wearing a light green dress, her long, wet hair draped over her shoulders, making her delicate face appear as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.
Seeing him look over, she smiled at him, her eyes crinkling, "Si Yi, I'm done washing up, you should wash up too. This time, I'll watch over you."
Looking at the girl's unassuming smile, Si Yi's heart skipped a beat. He subconsciously straightened up and frowned, saying, "No one is so bored as to go and see a man. I don't need you to guard me."
Green Fairy said very seriously, "My young lady said that it is also dangerous for boys to be outside, and they must take good care of themselves."
