Chapter 351: Look Back or Not, It Makes a Difference
in the carriage.
Si Lili opened her lips slightly, staring blankly at the uninvited guest who suddenly appeared in front of her, and for a moment she seemed to be frozen.
As soon as Mei Cheng'an entered the carriage and glanced at Si Lili, he did not greet her or explain the reason at the first time.
Instead, he walked straight to the car window, squatted down, lifted a corner of the curtain, gritted his teeth and squinted his eyes to secretly look at what was happening outside the car.
Only after confirming that Fan Xian had left and was no longer watching this place did Mei Cheng'an secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Of course, before lowering the car curtain, he did not forget to roll his eyes at Fan Xian and silently called him a psychopath and idiot.
It was a normal thing, but after he did this, it somehow seemed like his purpose was not pure. He was only here...
"Forehead…"
Mei Cheng'an suddenly remembered that there was someone next to him and turned his head slightly stiffly to look at Si Lili who was looking at him in amazement.
The two people's eyes intertwined instantly. After looking at each other in silence for a moment, they felt inexplicably awkward and looked away.
Mei Cheng'an withdrew his gaze, coughed lightly, pretended to be calm, turned around and sat down with one leg against the wall of the carriage.
After Si Lili looked away, her eyes looked a little flustered. She lowered her head, bowed hurriedly to him, and then tugged at the corner of her clothes in a panic.
Mei Cheng'an glanced at her secretly, and when he saw her lower her head, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then he dared to raise his eyes and look at her carefully.
Si Lili was still wearing the same clothes as yesterday, sitting there sideways, looking pretty and graceful, showing off her elegant figure.
Her eyebrows were like willow branches, her black eyes looked around with a hint of panic, she had a pretty nose, and her soft lips were uncolored, which made me feel pity for her.
Wow, what a great figure, so beautiful!
Even though he had seen it many times, Mei Chengan still couldn't help but admire it.
Being looked at unscrupulously by Mei Chengan, Si Lili's pretty face flushed quietly, and she felt very uneasy.
The hand hidden in the sleeve quietly grasped the long pointed hairpin that had been hidden in the sleeve in advance, and his heart felt a little relieved.
She hid the weapon because she was afraid. As the head prostitute of the largest brothel on the banks of Liujing River, she knew very well how attractive her fame, mysterious background, beautiful face and graceful figure were to men, especially young men of sixteen or seventeen years old.
The people with the greatest power in the delegation happen to be men of this age group, and there are two of them.
Although there were many other men in the delegation, and they looked at her with a certain degree of appreciation and charm, she was not to be feared.
What she was most worried about were the two leaders who held the power in the delegation. If they wanted to do something to her, no one would dare to stop them.
Even if they have some understanding of their own background, they may be a little disenchanted, but who can say for sure about matters between men and women?
Whether it happens or not, she must be prepared in advance to guard against unknown emergencies that may occur.
Although, she was not sure whether she would have the courage to pierce the hairpin with force if that situation really happened.
She has never been a brave person. She has too many selfish desires and expectations and relatives that she cannot give up. It has always been like this.
Her little action did not escape the eyes of Mei Cheng'an who was looking at her. After a glance, he smiled and spoke softly.
"Don't be afraid, I'm not going to do anything to you."
"what?"
Si Lili looked up in surprise. She had not expected that the handsome young man in front of her would start his speech with such a sentence.
Did you find something?
The panic in her eyes flashed away, and just at that moment the carriage started moving. She took advantage of the slightly shaking body of the carriage to quietly hide the sleeve holding the hairpin to the side.
Si Lili pretended to be calm and forced a smile and spoke softly.
"Why do you say that, sir? I, I'm not afraid."
Hearing this, Mei Cheng'an raised his eyebrows and looked at her with a smile.
"Really?"
"Yes, yes."
After thinking for a while, Si Lili added another sentence.
"Oh, you misunderstood, my Lord. I'm not scared, I'm just a little nervous. After all, the compartment is narrow, and you came suddenly..."
Before he could finish his words, Mei Chengan interrupted him with a smile.
"What's up your sleeve?"
Si Lili was startled, her pupils shrank, and her pretty face froze in an instant, frozen into a subtle and very interesting expression.
Because she was speaking and was interrupted before she even closed her mouth, she felt stunned.
Mei Cheng'an was amused by her inexplicably naive expression and burst out laughing.
Si Lili came back to her senses and her pretty face turned red. She hurriedly closed her mouth and lowered her head to adjust her expression. At the same time, she hid the sleeve that contained the hairpin a little deeper back.
Her long eyelashes fluttered, concealing the shyness and panic underneath. This time she didn't dare to look up and look directly into Mei Chengan's eyes.
"Sir, I don't understand what you are saying."
Mei Chengan had a smile on his face and his tone was a little frivolous.
"Hey, you call yourself a little girl, are you deliberately showing your weakness? I don't understand what you are hiding behind this."
"..."
Si Lili, whose little thoughts and actions were exposed at the same time, felt inexplicably angry and embarrassed, and looked up at him.
Looking at the young man in front of her, Si Lili bit her lip lightly, she felt that his handsome face was extremely hateful!
"Oh, you're angry, looking at me like that."
Si Lili's beautiful eyes widened slightly, and she answered quickly and insincerely, with an anxious and angry tone, and a hint of naivety. "I didn't!"
Mei Chengan smiled somewhat happily.
"You're still saying no, you're so angry, haha, okay, I won't tease you anymore, just hand over what's in your hand."
Si Lili was still angry, so how could she possibly obey? She put her hand behind her back, gritted her teeth, and refused to admit it.
"What is it? I don't have anything in my hand, I don't understand, and I can't hand it over!"
"Hiss, hey~"
Mei Cheng'an suspected that she was secretly cursing him, but he had no evidence. He squinted his eyes and looked at her, and suddenly raised his eyebrows.
Speaking of which, he always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with Si Lili in front of him. He couldn't put his finger on what it was, but it just seemed weird.
Mei Cheng'an folded his arms, touched his chin and looked at her. After thinking carefully for a moment, he suddenly realized.
The main reason is that her pretty face and figure that look like a queen are totally inconsistent with her current childish expression and tone.
After figuring it out, Mei Chengan couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that the mature woman did the job of the loli. No wonder he felt something was wrong. It was so abstract, too abstract.
Si Lili looked at him with a puzzled look, as if she was looking at a fool. Is this guy crazy? What is he laughing at?
Although she was laughing, Mei Chengan did not forget the important matter. He raised his hand, pointed behind her and said with a smile.
"Don't play dumb. It's useless to play dumb. Just hand it over quickly. Don't force me to do it."
Si Lili gritted her teeth and was about to say something, but Mei Chengan suddenly waved his hand to interrupt her and added another sentence.
"You'd better think it over. If you hand it over voluntarily, I can pretend that this never happened in consideration of your cooperation.
But if you still insist that you don't have it, and I find it out later... then the nature of the situation will be different, you know what I mean."
"..."
After a long silence, Si Lili bit her lips lightly and reluctantly moved the sleeve behind her to the front of her body and shook it gently.
A thin, pointed hairpin quietly swung out from the sleeve, and after rolling a few times, it stopped in front of Mei Cheng'an.
The carriage was covered with thick and soft blankets, so there was no sound. Mei Chengan took a glance and smiled at her.
"Wise choice."
As he said this, he reached out and picked up the hairpin, looking at it.
Si Lili had a strange expression on her face. She watched him move his lips slightly as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself. After trying several times, she finally closed her mouth.
Mei Cheng'an didn't look at the hairpin for long. He just glanced at it briefly and then put it down. He looked up at Si Lili and smiled softly.
"Girls shouldn't play with sharp objects like this. It's easy to hurt yourself or others. I'll keep this thing for you and return it to you when we get to Northern Qi."
After saying that, he casually inserted the hairpin vertically into his waist.
"Oh, by the way, I am a man of my words. Since you have done what I said, I will naturally keep my promise and pretend that this incident never happened. I will not bring up the past, so don't worry."
Si Lili breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that. Looking at the man in front of her who could easily guess all her thoughts, her eyes were inexplicably resentful.
The previous topic ended and the new topic was not yet ready. No one spoke for a while and the car suddenly fell into silence.
Just when the awkward atmosphere was about to spread again, Si Lili spoke softly with a resentful look in her eyes.
"Sir...what do you want to see me for?"
You can't be here just to look for the hairpin...
Mei Cheng'an let out a cry, waved his hands, a look of fatigue instantly appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows.
"Nothing, I just spent a lot of energy dealing with Sean's various temptations, and I am really a little tired, ah."
I've hinted so clearly, do you understand what I mean?
"..."
Si Lili naturally understood, but was a little speechless. She was so straightforward and frivolous just now, with no sympathy for women at all, so why was she now being "shy" and "hinting"?
Giving him a coquettish look, Si Lili responded softly.
"Then...I'll give you a massage, sir?"
Mei Chengan stopped pretending, put down his hands and grinned.
"Okay."
"..."
Dazzled by his big white teeth and looking at his hearty and refreshing smile, Si Lili's speechlessness was suddenly cleared away. She even wanted to laugh for some reason. She wanted to hold it back, but couldn't.
With a puff, a beautiful smile appeared in front of Mei Chengan, and he was stunned for a moment.
What the hell, what's the point of looking back and smiling to make you look charming? It's not much different if you don't look back, the movement of your eyes is also full of charm.
It is so beautiful that it seems to have astonished time and space, so beautiful that it seems to have made all flowers lose their color, and so beautiful that people...can't take their eyes away.
Noticing his fixed gaze, Si Lili's smile froze, her pretty face turned red, and she quickly put away her smile and spoke hurriedly.
"No, you want a massage, turn around."
