Chapter 22

He was able to treat him so tenderly and patiently with himself who only had a few encounters, which meant that he was an extremely gentle person in life.

Maybe he would be like that to everyone.

After tidying up his emotions, he simply washed up and returned to the living room.

I saw a man sitting on the sofa with a laptop on his lap, and his fingers were flying quickly on the keyboard.

Should be working.

"I--"

"Lunch will be delivered in a while." Li Xuyao ​​put the computer aside, looked at her, and said in a gentle voice, "Si Lan, come and sit."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the man's sudden voice.

As far as he could remember, this was the first time he called her by her full name.

It was a very common word, but when it came out of his mouth, it seemed gentle and lingering, and it sounded particularly nice.

Si Lan stabilized his mind and said calmly: "I disturbed you all night too, so I won't bother you anymore."

"Are you busy later?" Li Xuyao ​​asked as he got up and walked to her.

Si Lan was silent.

Her arrangement was based on being familiar with the script, but maybe she doesn't need it now.

Li Xuyao: "It's just lunch time, if you're not busy, stay and have lunch with me, okay?"

He had a smile on his face, and his eyes were so gentle that he seemed to be drowning in water, and there was a hint of anticipation in it.

Si Lan swallowed his refusal: "If you don't mind the trouble, it's fine."

Facing such a man who seemed to have tenderness carved into her bones, she couldn't say any words of rejection.

Seeing her agreeing, Li Xuyao ​​laughed silently in a good mood.

"Go and sit for a while."

Si Lan nodded and walked towards the sofa.

Li Xuyao ​​took the thermos she put down before and went over: "You drank a lot last night, you should feel better after drinking."

Si Lan took it: "Thank you."

Li Xuyao ​​smiled, and sat down on the single sofa next to him.

This time, Si Lan opened the thermos and drank the hangover soup inside.

Didn't drink much though.

"Si Lan."

Li Xuyao ​​suddenly called her.

"Huh?" Si Lan turned to look at him.

"Do you remember what happened last night?" Li Xuyao ​​asked.

Si Lan pursed his lips, and then recovered his cold expression: "I don't remember, did I cause you trouble?"

Li Xuyao: "No."

Si Lan stared at him for a while: "How did I get to you last night?"

"I met you in the imperial court." Li Xuyao ​​said, "Then you followed me here."

He paused, and then explained: "This is the top floor of the imperial court, and it is not open to the public."

Si Lan: "."

I once heard the master and the others say that she would flirt with good-looking men after drinking, so she didn't doubt the authenticity of the man's words.

Because with Li Xuyao's monstrous appearance and noble temperament, she really fits the target of her attack.

only--

"I was going to take you home, but you refused to leave." Li Xuyao ​​seemed to have guessed what she would ask, "Plus I can live here, so I didn't bother."

Si Lan: "."

This man is too good at guessing people's hearts.

What she wanted to know, without asking, he offered an explanation.

"Thank you Mr. Li for taking me in."

Li Xuyao: "We are neighbors, since I have met, I will definitely not let you go."

Si Lan: "You—"

Li Xuyao ​​looked at her tenderly.

"Before, I saw that you were on the phone and using the computer to handle official business. If you are busy, don't bother with me. I can take care of myself."

After all, she still didn't ask the question "Do you treat every woman like this".

In that case, she shouldn't be the one to ask.

"Here, you are my guest, and I should take care of you as a landlord." Li Xuyao ​​said, "I have explained everything about work, and there is nothing to be busy about."

After hearing this, Si Lan didn't say anything further.

"Si Lan." Li Xuyao ​​called her.

Si Lan looked over: "Huh?"

Li Xuyao: "Can I ask you a question?"

Si Lan: "What do you want to ask?"

Li Xuyao: "Do you like to drink?"

Si Lan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Occasionally I drink."

"Do you like to call someone brother when you drink too much?" Li Xuyao ​​seemed innocently curious.

Si Lan: "."

What kind of fetish is this?
It seems that I haven't heard the master and the others say that she will arrest people and call her brother after drinking, right?
Li Xuyao ​​understood the doubts inadvertently revealed between the girl's brows.

Dare to feel that this is a fragment, I don't remember anything.

"Mr. Li, if my wine is not good and I have done something to cause you trouble, I am sorry." Si Lan said sincerely.

She doesn't have any memory in her mind, and she doesn't know if there is such a thing, but no matter if there is or not, an apology is always right.

"No trouble." Li Xuyao ​​smiled, "You are very good."

Thinking of her appearance last night, she was indeed very obedient, so obedient that he wanted to be a beast.

Si Lan: "???"

good?
Are you sure it's her?
After drinking before, most of the adjectives I heard the next day were:

You are too tiger.

You are simply not human.

You sadist.

You beast!

In short, I've never heard them say that she behaved after drinking.

and so--

"Mr. Si, you don't have to say anything against your conscience just to comfort me." Si Lan looked calm, as if she was not talking about herself, "I still know what I am."

"It's not consolation." Li Xuyao ​​said, "You are really good."

He has a gentle face, but his eyes are extremely serious.

Not like lying.

So what's going on here?

Could it be that she has changed her gender?

"Si Lan." Li Xuyao ​​looked at her and said softly, "You can call me by my name, Mr. Li sounds too unfamiliar."

Si Lan: "."

They don't seem to be that friendly yet, do they?
Li Xuyao ​​just mentioned it, and didn't force her. Instead, he said, "It's better for girls to drink less when they are out."

"I know." Si Lan said, "Thank you Mr. Li."

Alcohol is indeed not a good thing, but it can temporarily paralyze the nerves when you are irritable.

"You seem to be saying thank you to me all the time today." Li Xuyao ​​said.

His words were gentle, and his tone was flat and slow, which couldn't be more normal.

But Si Lan seemed to hear a hint of displeasure: "If Mr. Li doesn't like it, I will pay attention."

"I don't like it." Li Xuyao ​​said, "But I don't like it either."

Si Lan:?
Li Xuyao ​​got up and took two glasses of warm water.

A cup was placed in front of Si Lan, and the cup was held in his hand.

After he took a sip, he continued:

"I hope that the relationship between us will not be so strange and polite, just treat it as friends, is that okay?"

friend
Hearing these two words, Si Lan held the water glass in both hands, and his expression was a little erratic.
