That evening, while Si Yi and Lü Qiao were having dinner in the hall, a middle-aged woman suddenly squeezed into their table, staring intently at Si Yi.
"Young man, what's your surname? Let's be friends."
Her gaze was so blatant that even Lü Qiao sensed her intentions.
She stared at her in astonishment.
How could there be such a bold woman?
She's blatantly trying to seduce Si Yi.
Si Yi was about to get angry and scold the woman, but when he saw Lü Qiao staring at the woman in astonishment, he suddenly changed his mind.
He nodded his chin at the green jade pendant and said to the woman, "Ask her. If she says yes, then it's fine."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao was stunned, and only came to her senses when the woman looked at her.
What's wrong with Si Yi?
Should he befriend this woman? What does he want to ask her?
She looked at Si Yi with a blank expression.
The woman actually asked, "Little sister, may I be friends with your brother?"
Judging from their ages, she naturally assumed they were siblings.
The woman pushed a plate of untouched peanuts in front of Lü Qiao.
"Little sister, these crispy fried peanuts are delicious, you should try some."
Upon seeing this, Si Yi stopped eating and looked at Lü Qiao.
He wondered how she would deal with this woman, and whether she would act like his wife again, just like last time.
However, the thought had barely crossed her mind when she heard Lü Qiao say nonchalantly, "Sure." As she spoke, she picked up a peanut with her chopsticks and ate it.
These crispy fried peanuts are really delicious.
She couldn't resist eating another one.
Si gave her a dangerous look.
She actually sold him out of a plate of peanuts?!
Perhaps his gaze was too intense, for Lü Qiao noticed it, paused, and looked up.
Seeing the reproachful look in his eyes, she felt a little intimidated, but still tried to ingratiate herself by pushing the peanuts in front of him.
"Brother, these peanuts are really delicious, you should have some too."
"Young man, these peanuts are really delicious," the woman said in a sweet, cloying voice.
Green Beauty got goosebumps just listening to this.
Seeing that Si Yi remained unmoved, the woman moved closer and tried to put her hand on his shoulder.
However, before her hand could even touch his shoulder, a gleaming sword was already positioned in front of her.
“I appreciate your kindness, madam, but my wife is being sarcastic. If I eat your food, I’ll have to sleep on the floor tonight.” Si Yi stared at the woman with icy eyes, but his words were suggestive.
The woman was startled at first, then understood the meaning behind his words. She stood up sullenly and glanced at Lü Qiao with some boredom. "So you two are husband and wife. Just say so. Honestly, you made me happy for nothing."
After saying that, she swayed away with her supple waist and hips.
Lü Qiao stared wide-eyed at Si Yi across from her, her expression one of utter astonishment.
"you……"
Si Yi sheathed his sword and said first, "When you're traveling, this excuse is really useful; it never fails."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao opened her mouth, but suddenly didn't know what to say.
Because she started it.
She was the one who first claimed to be his wife.
It doesn't seem wrong for him to take it out and use it now.
But he had done this twice in one day, and then acted as if it didn't matter, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.
Was it because he rejected her relationship?
Lü Qiao was somewhat confused about her own feelings.
"You're so easily bribed that a plate of peanuts is enough to buy you off?" Si Yi suddenly said, her tone somewhat displeased, clearly still resentful about her betrayal of her without hesitation.
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao couldn't help but say, "That old lady just now took a liking to you. Although she's a bit old, she's good-looking and has a great figure. She took the initiative to be nice to you, and you just had the heart to push her away?"
Si Yi's temple throbbed with anger, and he laughed coldly, "What do you mean? You think I should accept anyone who comes along? In your eyes, am I such a casual person?"
Seeing that he was angry, Lü Qiao paused for a moment, then, as if remembering something, continued, "I don't think you're a casual person, I just think you're quite lucky with women. Last time it was that pampered young lady, and now you've got this middle-aged woman..."
As she continued speaking, she was completely unaware that her tone had become somewhat sour.
Si Yi was furious, but after hearing what she said next, he calmed down and squinted his eyes, saying, "Lv Qiao."
Greenie gave him a sullen look. "What are you doing?"
"Are you jealous?" Si Yi looked at her with a half-smile.
Green Beauty: "..."
She was stunned for a moment before she reacted, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and said fiercely, "What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't do it!"
"No?" Si Yi felt inexplicably pleased to see her like this. "If not, why does your tone sound so sour?"
"Your tone is sour." Green Fairy blushed and retorted loudly, but her heart was pounding unusually fast.
She suddenly became restless, pushed away her bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said, "I'm full." Then she hurried upstairs.
But because she was too flustered and ran too fast, she tripped on the stairs and fell down with a "bang".
Her waist slammed heavily against the steps, and she immediately broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, screaming in agony.
Si Yi saw it, was startled, and quickly got up and went over.
Seeing that she was in so much pain that she couldn't get up, he didn't hesitate and bent down to pick her up in his arms.
"You're so clumsy! How can you fall like that at your age!"
He scolded her, but quickly carried her back into the house.
Tears welled up in Lü Qiao's eyes from the pain, and upon hearing his reprimanding words, she burst into tears of grievance.
"Si Yi, please don't scold me, it hurts so much..."
She was crying and gasping for breath, which startled Si Yi.
He carefully lifted her onto the couch and asked anxiously, "Where did you fall?"
Green Fairy's face turned pale with pain. She gasped for breath and weakly pointed to her waist. "It hurts so much here. Did I break a bone?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yi was at a loss for what to do.
After thinking for a moment, I calmed myself down and asked, "May I take a look at it for you first?"
Green Beauty was in so much pain that tears streamed down her face. At that moment, she couldn't care less about anything else and nodded, "Okay..."
Si Yi became somewhat nervous, but seeing her in pain, he had no choice but to suppress his discomfort and reach out to undo her belt.
Because he hadn't loosened the woman's belt, Si Yi was already drenched in sweat in a short time, his clothes soaked through and his forehead covered in sweat.
After finally managing to loosen his belt, he gently lifted the hem of her dress and examined her injuries without looking at her.
Sure enough, a bruise was visible on his right side.
After thinking for a moment, he reached out and touched it.
