"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, we'll be here soon!" When the waiter heard this, he immediately became happy. He leaned towards Ye Qiqi and Bai Xinglan, and turned around like the wind.
Ye Qiqi turned her head, staring straight at the person in front of her with a pair of clear eyes, and said unhappily: "What are you doing? I obviously sat down at this table first, why do you insist on grabbing it from me when there is room next to it?" There are so many tables, can’t you just sit at any table?”
"No." With a hint of smile in his eyes, Bai Xinglan looked at Ye Qiqi and said in a gentle voice: "Since we are old friends, we have to exchange greetings. The signature stewed pork knuckle of this restaurant is delicious. Wait a minute. You can taste it after the second end is served.”
"Stewed pork knuckle!?" When Ye Qiqi heard that there was something delicious, her eyes suddenly lit up. But the next second, she looked at the person in front of her with vigilance, and said in a defensive voice: "Who is following? You are an old friend, and I don’t know you.”
Bai Xinglan put away the folding fan in his hand, turned to look out the window at the bustling street, and said in a low voice: "Xiao Qi, if you say that, I will be sad. When we were at Prince Jing'an's Mansion that day, didn't we still hold hands? Have you ever done it?"
"You..." Ye Qiqi was startled and suddenly raised her head and looked at him.
However, the man sitting in front of her just turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The afternoon sun shone in through the bamboo window, casting a faint halo on his chiseled profile.
His eyes were slightly lowered, as if he was looking at a certain shop on the street. His long eyelashes covered the brilliance of his eyes.
"What are you talking about? I don't know Xiao Qi." Ye Qiqi looked at the man in front of her, and suddenly an unpleasant feeling arose in her heart. She had obviously washed away all the disguise on her face, and she also changed her face. After returning to women's clothing, it stands to reason that no one would be able to recognize her, let alone Bai Xinglan, who had only met her once.
"Really?" Bai Xinglan turned his head and looked at Ye Qiqi with a pair of beautiful eyes with a warm smile. His jade-white hand supported his chin and said in a slow voice: "How about I Send someone to Prince Jing’an’s Mansion, invite Prince Jing’an over, and ask him to identify you carefully, are you the little guard of his mansion??”
"No." Ye Qiqi yelled these two words at him almost subconsciously.
"Oh?" Bai Xinglan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Uh... um, our prince is taking a bath today. He is on vacation. He... he is not in the palace." Ye Qiqi smiled awkwardly and said weakly to him.
"So, you admit that you are Xiao Qi?" Bai Xinglan asked, looking at her with a smile.
“…”
Ye Qiqi glared at him for three seconds, then nodded reluctantly.
"Ha." Bai Xinglan smiled, but did not continue to ask this question.
"Who are you?" Ye Qiqi saw that he just smiled after confirming her identity, and did not continue to explore why she was in Prince Jing'an's palace, nor why she wanted to disguise herself as a man. I couldn't help but feel a little curious about him.
"I..." Bai Xinglan picked up the teacup that the waiter had just brought over from the table, shook it in his hand, looked at Ye Qiqi with a smile and said, "I am someone who fell in love with you at first sight."
“…”
Ye Qiqi couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him.
