Chapter 612: Be prepared for danger in times of peace (16)
After getting on the carriage, Sui Zhao drank two sips of tea and teased a dull person who was barely not so dull anymore. Due to the long-standing habit of taking a nap, he felt sleepy and leaned against the wall of the carriage, drowsy.
Shen Siwei looked at her, thought for a moment, reached out and held the side of her head away from him, letting her lean on his shoulder.
She had become somewhat accustomed to his touch, surrounded by his scent. She covered her lips and yawned softly, her eyes misted with sleepiness, and she suppressed her unruly heartbeat, "But it's still not very comfortable."
Shen Siwei held her shoulders, let her lie down, rest her head on his knees, and whispered, "Squeamish."
"No, even if I'm a bit spoiled, so what? This princess can be spoiled." Sui Zhao grabbed the corner of his clothes, dissatisfied with his tough talk. Her cheeks flushed slightly. Finally, she closed her eyes and covered her face with her sleeves. After thinking about it for a while, she felt sleepy again and fell asleep.
The fragrance of the person in his arms lingered around his nose. Shen Siwei sat upright, looking straight ahead, not daring to move.
When her breathing became even, he relaxed, lowered his eyes to look at her, held her wrist, and carefully pulled her hand away to reveal her covered face.
For someone of her status, her hairpins should be gorgeous and noble, but perhaps for the convenience of traveling, she did not wear any hairpins on her head. She only used a few brightly colored hairbands to decorate her head. Now there was no need to worry about her head being uncomfortable when she fell asleep.
Shen Siwei brushed her slightly messy hair behind her ears, touched her cheek with his fingertips, and separated them immediately.
Are you here for me?
Your Highness, since you have provoked me, you can no longer think about other men in the future.
He could have asked her attendant to come in and let him sit in the front instead, but he still had selfish thoughts.
Shen Siwei stared at her with dark eyes for a moment, then looked away and looked at the slightly swaying car curtain, and his eyes gradually regained calm.
His hand rested loosely on her waist, in a possessive gesture.
Back at the inn, Shen Siwei gently pushed her shoulder, "An An, we're here."
Sui Zhao grabbed his wrist based on his feeling and said coquettishly: "No, sleep a little longer..."
Shen Siwei lowered his eyes and looked at her, "It's uncomfortable to sleep here, go back and sleep."
As he said this, he put his arm around her shoulders and helped her up.
The princess, who had not gotten enough sleep, was a little grumpy. She opened her eyes resentfully and looked at him unhappily.
Shen Siwei's heart softened and he rubbed her head, "Be good, I'll come see you when you wake up."
Sui Zhao looked at him for a while, nodded, bent down, lifted the curtain, jumped off the carriage neatly, and walked towards the inn without looking back.
Shen Siwei followed her and walked her upstairs.
She put her hand on the door, looked at him standing outside for a while, and said, "Shen Luyuan, see you later."
"Yeah." Shen Siwei saw Shuang Xu close the door, went back to the courtyard in Xishi, and after confirming that there was nothing important, he returned to the restaurant near the inn where Sui Zhao lived and booked a private room to read and drink tea.
Sui Zhao climbed onto the bed and slept comfortably before waking up. He was slow to react to Shen Siwei's expression and tone in the carriage. He rolled around on the bed, lay there for a while, and then got up.
"Frost Sequence~"
Shuang Xu, who no longer found it creepy after reading it once, was reading Sui Zhao's book of strange stories with great interest. When he heard Sui Zhao calling him, he put the book aside and walked quickly to her bedside, "Miss, are you going to get up?"
"Yeah, comb your hair."
"it is good."
After Shuangxu finished combing her hair, Sui Zhao took two pink hairbands and tied two beautiful bows for her.
Shuang Xu saw that she suddenly became interested, so he sat down and let her do whatever she wanted.
After sitting for a while and not seeing Shen Siwei coming, Sui Zhao decided to go out and look for him.
"Shuang Xu, do you know where exactly they are in Xishi?"
"I don't know, let Huaixu check." Shuangxu pushed his brother away without thinking.
Sui Zhao went downstairs and saw Shen Siwei coming out of the restaurant opposite. He ran towards him and said, "No need to check. I'll ask myself."
Seeing her stop in front of him, Shen Siwei leaned to the side and said, "We have booked a private room. Do you want to go up?"
"Okay, but it's not time for dinner yet, right?"
"Find the chess pieces and play chess."
"also."
After entering the box, Shen Siwei, who had been watching her, raised his hand and gently stroked the top of her head, then held her wrist and led her to sit down on the couch.
There was a square table on the couch, with a chessboard and chess pieces on it.
Sui Zhao glanced at his expression and sat cross-legged on the couch, "Where are you in Xishi now?"
"At the end of Changlong Lane, Fengshui Street. If you really want to go, bring someone with you."
"Oh."
After one game, the two players were evenly matched and ended in a draw.
Sui Zhao smiled and said, "Praise me for being awesome."
"Well, that's great."
"Of course, it doesn't matter who my father and mother are." She said arrogantly.
"Your father and mother are both very intelligent and thoughtful."
She rested her hands on the table and leaned slightly closer to him, with a teasing smile in her eyes, "Shen Luyuan, you don't seem to be that bad at talking. Aren't you quite good at complimenting people?"
Shen Siwei met her eyes, his gaze slightly changed, "Yes and no both came from your mouth, you are completely dull and unfit to be an official. If you are an official, you must be well versed in the ways of being an official."
"I don't say it, I just don't like to say it, not that I can't say it."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and stroked her face. "An An, why did you come to Fengzhou?"
Shuang Xu quietly opened the door and went out, standing next to it as a punishment.
His fingertips stroked across his cheek, bringing an itch. His dangerous aura was approaching. Sui Zhao resisted the urge to retreat and said, "Guess."
Shen Siwei glanced at the door with his peripheral vision, propped himself up, moved closer to her, and pressed his fingers on her smooth cheek, forcing her to look directly at him.
"Is it for me?"
She finally couldn't help but stepped back, supporting herself on the soft couch behind her with her hands.
His hand missed, and Shen Siwei put the small table and the chessboard on the ground with one hand, then leaned closer to her again, supporting himself with one hand on her, but keeping a distance so that he couldn't touch her.
He reached out and lifted her chin again, asking, "Really?"
"How dare you!" She looked at the man above her, showing her fear in his dark, deep, oppressive and aggressive eyes, and scolded him lightly.
A clear smile appeared on Shen Siwei's face, which had never smiled for many years, and it was dangerous and bewitching.
"Really? It was your highness who gave me the courage."
She always teases him, but she is only so courageous.
She pursed her lips slightly as she looked at him, who seemed to have shed his silent disguise and revealed his true self for the first time, and she refused to admit defeat.
Shen Siwei stared at her with his dark eyes and whispered, "An An, I want an answer."
His warm breath fell on her cheek. Sui Zhao's eyelashes trembled slightly and he frowned in confusion.
Shen Siwei released her chin and smoothed her frown. "It doesn't matter if it's not the case. If Your Highness doesn't come for me, then I will go to Your Highness."
"An An, I like you, before I took you to the bandit camp. I sent the confession so that I could find you, I asked about the itinerary so that I could see you again in the future, and I used the excuse of hunting to see you."
"I know I'm not worthy of you, but you gave me fantasy. An An, give me a chance. If you provoke me, you have to be responsible for me."
