Private room on the second floor.
Su Qianqian was enthusiastically recommending Si Luo to her cousin, praising him for being so good, being the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard at such a young age, and also for being good-looking.
Cheng Yisu listened patiently.
Gradually, he began to have some thoughts about it.
If it's really as good as my cousin says, she'll naturally be happy to accept it.
She couldn't help but look expectantly towards the doorway.
Before long, Si Lan led Si Luo in from outside.
The first thing Cheng Yisu saw was a handsome face and a tall, upright figure...
Upon seeing this, her face turned red.
But as the other person got closer, she suddenly realized that something was wrong with them.
Why is the right sleeve empty?
Embarrassment froze on her face. She stared blankly at Si Luo's empty sleeve for a long time before finally realizing what was happening. She stood up abruptly and glared angrily at Su Qianqian.
"You're such a good cousin, introducing me to such a cripple." With that, she didn't even glance at Si Luo again before rushing out.
Seeing this, Su Qianqian quickly got up and chased after her, calling out urgently, "Cousin, cousin..."
Si Lan's face looked terrible, and then her eyes reddened.
The greater the hope I had just held, the greater the disappointment I feel now, but mostly I am angry.
How could Miss Cheng say that?
Si Lan grew angrier the more she thought about it, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Si Luo hadn't done anything yet when she saw her younger sister suddenly start crying. She helplessly patted her head and said, "Silly girl, what's there to cry about?"
Si Lan choked up and said, "Why did Miss Cheng speak to my brother like that? Doesn't she look in the mirror? Does she think she's some kind of celestial being? How dare she speak to my brother like that?"
If she doesn't want to, she doesn't want to; who's forcing her? That's really going too far!
"It's okay, Si Lan, I don't care," Si Luo said. He truly didn't care, simply because that person wasn't someone he cared about. If someone he cared about hadn't looked at him that way, they wouldn't have.
However, Si Lan cried very sadly.
Seeing her younger sister crying uncontrollably, Si Luo felt helpless and could only try to comfort her, "Don't cry, Si Lan, I really don't care..."
Fortunately, Su Qianqian returned quickly.
I don't know how far her cousin chased after her, but when she came back, she was panting heavily, her face was flushed, and her hair was sticking tightly to her cheeks because of sweat. She looked a bit disheveled.
She walked up to the brother and sister with a dejected look on her face, feeling guilty and remorseful. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know my cousin would react so strongly, but it's also my fault for not explaining things to her beforehand..."
At this point, she realized she had been too forward with Si Luo, and quickly explained, "Vice Commander Si, I didn't mean to look down on you. In fact, I didn't think it was a big deal, which is why I didn't tell my cousin."
"It's alright, you didn't do anything wrong, don't apologize." Si Luo didn't seem to care much, and even couldn't help but comfort her.
Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian couldn't help but secretly glance at him, wanting to see if he really didn't care.
But when he looked up, he met the other person's dark, smiling eyes.
She was startled and quickly lowered her head.
But her erratic heartbeat left her feeling somewhat helpless.
A moment later, seeing that Si Lan still had tears on her face, she immediately felt guilty again and tugged at her sleeve, "Si Lan, I'm so sorry about what happened today..."
Si Lan wiped her tears with a handkerchief. Seeing how careful she was, she smiled through her tears. "It's okay, I don't blame you." She only blamed Cheng Yisu. Even if she looked down on her brother, she shouldn't have said such hurtful things.
Su Qianqian still felt guilty.
I think she meant well but did something wrong.
Thinking of this, she really wanted to make amends.
After thinking for a moment, she looked up at Si Lan and said, "Don't worry, I will ask my parents to keep an eye out for Vice Commander Si's marriage. My cousin didn't like Vice Commander Si, that's because she has no taste. There will definitely be good girls who are willing to marry Vice Commander Si."
She spoke sincerely, hoping that the brother and sister wouldn't hold what had just happened against their will.
Upon hearing this, Si Lan finally smiled and took her hand, saying, "Qianqian, thank you."
Su Qianqian blushed. "No need to be so polite. By the way, I ordered a lot of dishes at the restaurant. Since my cousin has gone back, let's eat by ourselves." With that, she rushed out to call the waiter to bring the dishes.
Si Lan watched her run out and couldn't help but chuckle.
Si Luo was relieved to see a smile finally appear on her face.
He had to return to the palace to take up his post, so after the dishes were served, he ate a little with the two of them and then got up to leave.
"I still need to go to the palace. You can eat slowly."
Su Qianqian noticed that he had only eaten half a bowl of rice and assumed that his mood had been affected by his cousin, which was why he couldn't eat. She felt very guilty.
"I'm so sorry that you couldn't even eat." She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and looked very uneasy.
Si Luo was taken aback for a moment. Seeing her self-reproachful expression, she said with a smile, "It's not what you think. I've just been out for a while. I have to go back to the palace this afternoon to be on duty."
Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian breathed a sigh of relief. Then, remembering something, she quickly said, "Wait a moment." With that, she rushed out again, and soon returned with a food box in her hand.
Si Luo was puzzled until she saw her put the dishes and wine pot on the table into the food box, then she understood.
"Deputy Commander Si, you haven't eaten enough yet, you'll definitely be hungry this afternoon. Take these dishes and wine to the palace, and you can eat them when you're hungry." Su Qianqian was afraid of delaying him, so she quickly closed the food box and brought it to him.
Si Luo didn't reach out to take it, "I'm full..."
"How is that possible? I need to eat two bowls of rice to feel full at every meal, and you only ate half a bowl. How could you possibly be full?" Su Qianqian interrupted him, then mustered her courage and stuffed the food box into his hand.
She acted as if she, a girl, needed two bowls of rice to be full, and that a man like him would definitely not be full after eating only half a bowl of rice.
Si Luo: "..."
Si Lan covered her mouth and chuckled.
She thought Su Qianqian was so cute, and instead of explaining for Si Luo that he hadn't eaten much, she said as if afraid he wouldn't cause trouble, "Brother, that's Qianqian's kind gesture, don't refuse. Let's go quickly, or we'll waste time."
Si Luo glanced at the two of them with utter helplessness, and had no choice but to carry the food box out of the restaurant.
However, he paid the bill before leaving the restaurant.
So when Su Qianqian and Si Lan finished their meal and went downstairs to pay the bill, the shopkeeper told them that someone had already paid for them.
"Who paid the bill?" Su Qianqian stared at the shopkeeper with wide eyes, quite surprised.
"That's the young master who came with you," the shopkeeper replied.
Upon hearing this, Su Qianqian felt utterly powerless.
Why did Si Luo settle the bill again?
She already felt guilty and remorseful about what happened today, but now, the fact that they wouldn't even let her pay the bill only deepened her guilt and remorse.
