Greenie felt a little sweet inside, but she didn't think much of it.
"It's alright. I'm not some delicate young lady. I can handle the bumps and jolts," she insisted.
Upon hearing this, Si Yi turned to look at her fair and pretty face and slender figure. His lips moved as if he wanted to say something.
"What's wrong?" Green Fairy asked, puzzled.
Si Yi closed his eyes slightly. "It's nothing." He paused for a moment. "Since you think it's alright, let's set off."
Lü Qiao immediately nodded, "Okay."
She was injured and had difficulty moving around, so Si Yi helped her pack her things.
He paused when he saw the underwear hanging on the windowsill.
Lü Qiao saw it too and was about to say she would do it herself when Si Yi casually took it for her, folded it up, and put it into the bundle.
Upon seeing this, the blush on Lü Qiao's face spread all the way to her neck.
Her personal clothing had never been handled by anyone else, let alone by Si Yi, who was a man.
She felt a little ashamed as he touched her clothes, and her heart couldn't help but race.
Then, as if remembering something, she frowned again.
What exactly is Si Yi thinking?
On the one hand, he rejected her, but on the other hand, he was no longer as indifferent to her as before. Instead, he cared for her in every way and even naturally took care of her personal belongings.
If he was only taking care of her because of the young lady, he didn't need to go to such lengths.
But he did it, and it seemed he didn't feel any reluctance.
Is it possible that he actually... likes her a little?
Thinking of this, Lü Qiao felt a surge of anticipation, and her gaze couldn't help but follow his movements.
Si Yi was completely unaware.
After packing her things, Si Yi came over and hugged her.
Greenie wanted to refuse, but swallowed the words back and instead stretched out her arms to hug his shoulders tightly.
Si was taken aback. She was too close, close enough for him to smell her faint body fragrance.
Realizing what was happening, his handsome face flushed slightly. He awkwardly moved back a little, his voice cool as he reminded him, "Don't get so close to me." He paused, then added, "It'll affect my walking."
"Oh." Green Fairy seemed oblivious to his discomfort, and moved closer to his shoulder. "Then this shouldn't block your view, right?"
Seeing her nonchalant expression, Si frowned and couldn't help but scold her, "Lü Qiao, aren't you afraid you won't be able to get married in the future?"
Green Fairy blinked. "Don't worry, if I want to get married, my young lady will definitely help me choose a suitable person."
Upon hearing this, Si Yi sneered, "After all you've done, you still want to get married?"
"What about me?" Green Fairy looked at him, puzzled. "And didn't you bring it up first?"
Si Yi pursed her lips tightly.
Looking at her beautiful face and her clear, bright eyes, he suddenly said with a hint of malice, "I've already seen most of your body."
A sudden explosion went through Lü Qiao's mind, and her face flushed red. She stared at him with wide eyes and stammered, "What do you mean by 'you saw most of it'? What did you see?"
Si Yi didn't want to say anything, but when he heard that she even wanted Wen Nong Nong to choose a suitable husband for her, a sense of malice arose in his heart.
This emotion had slipped out of his control.
Before he could even react, the words had already burst from his mouth.
“I saw everything I could see: your legs, your waist, your arms, and we even slept in the same room together.”
Green Beauty stared at him in disbelief, then, realizing what he meant, blushed and snapped, "You...you pervert!"
Si Yi stared at her flushed face, paused for a moment, and lowered his voice, "So, given your condition, you should give up on the idea of getting married."
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao was furious. "How could you be like this?"
"How am I?" Si Yi raised an eyebrow.
Lü Qiao was furious, sensing that he was doing it on purpose, deliberately trying to provoke her.
She took a deep breath, turned her face away angrily, and said in a muffled voice, "You're awful, I don't want to talk to you."
Si Yi looked at her angry little face, frowned, opened his lips as if to say something to make amends, but just couldn't find the words.
For a moment, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat tense.
Once she was carried onto the carriage, Lü Qiao sat inside and suddenly calmed down. She carefully considered Si Yi's actions before and after, and then came to a conclusion.
Does Si Yi's statement mean he doesn't want her to marry someone else?
Thinking about this, she paused, wondering if it was possible.
He rejected her the day before yesterday.
Thinking it over, she clung to the car door and said, "Si Yi..."
Si Yi sat on the carriage shaft, shook the reins, and was about to urge the horse to leave.
Hearing this, he grunted without turning his head, "What's wrong?"
After hesitating for a moment, Lü Qiao suddenly mustered her courage and asked, "Si Yi, have you noticed that you're treating me a little differently?"
Upon hearing this, Si Yi instinctively tightened his grip on the reins and listened intently to what was to come.
"You say men and women shouldn't touch each other, but actually, we've long since crossed that line." Green Fairy paused, her tone slightly hesitant, and said, "Do you think our current relationship is too intimate?"
Si Yi was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at her, "So what do you want?"
"You just said it yourself, you... you've seen most of my body..." Her voice trailed off, "I can't marry anyone else, so... shouldn't you take responsibility for me?"
After saying that, Lü Qiao wanted to knock herself unconscious by banging her head against the wall.
How shameful and disgraceful! Isn't her behavior a form of repaying kindness with enmity?
They rescued her, and judging from her condition, it was all out of necessity, yet she demands they take responsibility for it.
After thinking it over, she quickly added, "If you don't have those kinds of feelings for me, then forget it. Just pretend I never said those things."
Si Yi looked at her blushing face, paused for a moment, and then said, "What you said is not wrong. I should take responsibility for you. Regardless of whether I have seen your body or not, we have been alone together for so long, and your reputation is ruined. Don't worry, after we go to Xiangzhou, I will propose to the princess."
Lü Qiao was somewhat surprised, but after hearing his words, she wasn't as happy as she had expected.
Si Yi made this decision out of desperation; she forced him to.
"No need." She lowered the curtain, her voice muffled behind it, and then fell silent.
Si frowned.
What's wrong with her this time?
Didn't he already promise to marry her?
Besides, isn't marrying him what she wanted?
Lü Qiao lay on her side on the thick mattress, her mood becoming somewhat bad.
She seems to have a crush on her boss.
Her experiences over the past few days have made her feel dependent on him.
From the moment he saved her to the moment he took care of her, she gained a completely new understanding of him. Beyond his outward appearance, he was actually a very thoughtful and considerate person.
She felt she couldn't live without him anymore.
But Si Yi wasn't the way she had initially thought; he also had a bit of a crush on her.
She seems to be overestimating herself and being delusional.
