Shen Xihe was somewhat surprised by Tian Yuan's reaction, but she smiled softly in an instant, her eyes turned and her gaze fell on Xiao Huayong again: "Your Highness, it's really hard to figure out."
"Princess..." Xiao Huayong called out softly and gently, his gentle black eyes filled with the soft light of a silver plate, "Do you really want to figure me out?"
Shen Xihe stared at him calmly with indifferent eyes, without saying a word.
The Pingzhong tree above my head has slender branches and golden leaves dotted on the branches. When the wind blows, it looks like a butterfly spreading its wings to fly.
The courtyard was silent. Xiao Huayong and Shen Xihe looked at each other for a moment and then said, "In this world, except for newborn babies, everyone has more than one face. I am, and so is the princess."
"You are wrong." Shen Xihe said calmly, "I only have one face, no matter who I am."
"really?"
"Yes." Shen Xihe said firmly, "I may be hiding something, but I will never disguise myself to achieve my goals. Shen Xihe disdains disguises. I will get what I want clearly."
"Clearly..." Xiao Huayong savored these words carefully and suddenly smiled, "Princess, if I knew clearly, I would not be alive today. I admire and envy your calmness, but I can only admire and envy you."
"Your Highness, are you not coughing anymore?" Shen Xihe asked with a smile.
Xiao Huayong raised the corners of his lips slightly, picked up a cup of tea, and took a sip: "Princess, I am indeed not feeling well."
"I believe it." Shen Xihe nodded, then looked at Xiao Huayong resolutely without any emotion.
"Why do you look at me like this, Princess?"
Shen Xihe: "I want to know what kind of person His Highness is."
"What kind of person?" Xiao Huayong seemed to ask himself softly, "I don't know what kind of person I am, but since the princess asked me, I can only say that I am not as complicated as the princess thinks, and I am not as simple as the princess sees me."
As he spoke, he leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between him and Shen Xihe across the stone table: "If the princess wants to know, it is better to accompany her day and night and see it clearly with your own eyes."
He was so close, so close that Shen Xihe could see clearly that the tiny black mole at the end of his eye seemed to be flowing with charm. His voice was so gentle, so gentle that it seemed like some kind of bewitching, which could easily move people's hearts.
However, the person sitting opposite him was Shen Xihe. Not only did she not avoid or dodge, but she lowered her eyes slightly and met his eyes. Her calm pupils showed her indifference.
After a while, Shen Xihe finally spoke: "Your Highness, I don't like to join forces with the strong, I like to be the enemy of the strong."
Xiao Huayong had always thought that he had figured out Shen Xihe, but now he was a little confused: "Why?"
“Once you join forces with a strong person, you will become a deadly enemy once they turn against you. No matter how strong the enemy is, if you have never joined forces and do not know each other, even if you are defeated, your entire army will not be wiped out.” Shen Xihe said slowly.
"But didn't the princess also join forces with that person?"
"No, he and I just reached an agreement that we will not be enemies." Shen Xihe corrected, "If Your Highness is willing, we can do the same."
Xiao Huayong glanced at Shen Xihe, lowered his head and smiled: "I don't want to join forces with the princess, I want to join hands with the princess."
