The rustling sound of book pages brought You Yuji back to her senses. She lowered her head and flipped through the book at random, trying to find the page she had just seen.
Si Que's slender hand suddenly appeared in his sight.
Her hands were empty, and the medical book was taken away by Si Que. He flipped through it, turned to the page that You Yuji had originally read, and then handed the book back to You Yuji.
You Yuji kept her eyes down and didn't look at him. She heard him say, "I've become a doctor after years of illness, so I do know some medical skills. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
You Yuji didn't reply. She frowned slightly, and a trace of confusion appeared on her face. This trace of confusion quickly dissipated and turned into hesitation.
She was not too young to understand the love affairs between men and women, nor was she unaware of her own beauty.
She suddenly felt a little confused about her relationship with Si Que.
—He is not her husband, nor is he her lover.
In an instant, You Yuzhi thought a lot.
She suddenly felt that there were some things she needed to make clear to Si Que.
She raised her head again and looked into Si Que's eyes, serious and gentle: "I have read some books on fertility these past two days and learned that if you want to get pregnant, there are certain rules for the days of intercourse. And you probably won't get pregnant in the next few days."
Si Que listened to You Yuji's words. He knew clearly that You Yuji came to him just to have a child, but he still didn't like to hear her say that.
"Unless it's for the purpose of getting pregnant, I really don't want to." You Yuji paused, and considered her words, "Because you are not my husband, and I don't regard you as my lover."
Si Que listened to how she said the most cruel words in the most gentle tone.
The two men sat opposite each other. Si Que was silent. He lowered his eyes, and his long eyelashes hid the emotions in his eyes.
You Yuji looked at his expression carefully.
Is he unhappy
After a long silence, You Yuji bit her lip and frowned slightly. She said in a gentle and coaxing tone, "Si Que, I'm telling you this because I don't want you to misunderstand me. I don't know if you just want sex or if you really like me. If it's the latter, I can't let you misunderstand that I treat you as my lover."
Si Que still sat there quietly with his eyes downcast, pursed his lips, and said nothing.
You Yuji waited for a long time, but he was still like this. You Yuji's pair of thin eyebrows frowned more and more. She stretched out her hand and gently placed her palm on the back of Si Que's hand. Her gentle voice was more coaxing: "Don't be unhappy, okay? Sister didn't reject you, I just want to make things clear to you. Sister has a request from you. If you want it, sister will not refuse you."
She slowly bent her slender fingers, held Si Que's index finger in the palm of her hand, and shook it gently.
"I like my sister." Si Que suddenly raised his eyes, "I like my sister so much."
You Yuji was surprised, and her hand that was holding Si Que's fingers suddenly loosened. She looked into Si Que's bright eyes, not hiding her surprise.
My mind went blank for a few moments.
She vaguely felt that Si Que might have a little crush on her? She was not sure. But she did not expect Si Que to say it so bluntly.
Just as You Yuji was about to withdraw her hand, Si Que suddenly held it tightly.
Si Que looked at You Yuji and slowly forced out a harmless smile. He said, "I couldn't sleep. I kept thinking about my sister. The more I thought about my sister, the harder I could sleep. So I came to look for my sister."
You Yuji was confused by his blunt and blunt words.
"If I can sleep with my sister in my arms, I will definitely sleep well. If my sister doesn't want me to, I will just sleep on this wooden couch. As long as I know that I am in the same room with my sister, I will be able to sleep well."
"Sister, no one has ever been so kind to me since I was a child."
"Sister, I have never particularly liked anything in the past 19 years, until I met you."
"Sister, I know you just want a child and you don't like me. But if I like you well, will sister like me even a little bit in the future?"
He frowned, and his usually cold features revealed a hint of pity.
You Yuji had already been stunned by his straightforward words. She stared at him blankly, temporarily losing the ability to speak and having no idea how to respond.
Si Que suddenly lowered his eyes again. Just before he covered his bright eyes with his long eyelashes, You Yuji saw loss in his eyes.
His voice also dropped. "Although I can't give my sister status, position and wealth like the prince did, I will never annoy my sister like the prince did. I will only feel sorry for my sister and treat her well, and give my whole sincere heart to her."
"I want to be your lover." He raised his clear eyes and looked deeply at You Yuji, "Sister, even if you think that I won't live long, can you try to like me?"
"good."
As soon as the words came out, You Yuji pursed her lips instantly.
For a moment, she felt that she had been fooled by the sweet words. She was rarely so impulsive. But at this moment, she was fooled by the eyes in front of her that were full of her.
Unable to refuse, nor to continue looking into those clear eyes, she gently moved her gaze away and looked at Baisui who was sitting beside her. She didn't know since when, Baisui had stopped licking her fur, but was still tilting his head to look at Si Que, listening to him speak.
You Yuji closed her eyes gently, and Si Que's words just now seemed to be still ringing in her ears.
"Sister, you agreed? You won't regret it, right?" Si Que asked.
You Yuzhi heard the joy hidden in Si Que's voice.
Forget it... I'll just coax you into it.
She let out a sigh of relief, turned to look at Si Que again, and smiled slowly and gently: "No regrets. I will try to like you."
Si Que smiled for a moment: "Sister, you are so nice. Thank you for letting me be your lover."
You Yuji once again thought to herself that the rumors were not to be believed. Everyone said that Princess Siguoque was taciturn and didn't like to laugh, like an iceberg. But when she really met her, she realized how ridiculous it was.
"Sister, can I sleep here?"
You Yuji nodded.
Si Que pulled You Yuji's hand and asked, "Sister, your hands are so beautiful, can I kiss them?"
"No!" You Yuji said in rejection, but couldn't help laughing because of his tone.
Si Que immediately loosened his grip on You Yuji and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you, sister."
You Yuji smiled even more and said, "Okay, go to bed. I want to read for a while."
"I want to accompany my sister."
You Yuji didn't say anything, but just moved to the inside of the beauty couch. Seeing this, Si Que got up and went to the thin blanket on the shelf and walked back. He put the thin blanket on You Yuji's legs, and leaned against the side of the beauty couch next to her.
You Yuji's eyes fell on the medical book in her hand. She didn't look at him, but pulled the thin blanket covering her legs towards him. He brought her a thin blanket. Was it because he felt cold? He was not in good health, so he must not catch a cold.
The charcoal fire in the dormitory was burning brightly, making the room warm.
Time passed slowly, You Yuzhi was quietly flipping through the medical book, and Si Que was sitting next to her reading with her.
Baisui didn't seem to have anything to watch. He opened his mouth and yawned loudly, then curled up into a ball next to You Yuji again, hugging his little paws and sleeping.
After a long time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Bao He said outside the door: "Madam, the prince is coming."
You Yuji frowned and said, "Say I'm resting."
Obviously, he didn't want to see Chen Anzhi.
You Yuji had just finished reading this page and reached out to turn it. Before her fingertips touched the paper, Si Que turned the page for her.
Not long after, You Yuji heard a series of heavy footsteps outside, which were obviously not from her maid. Then, Chen Anzhi pushed the door open and came in.
"You Yuji, is there someone hiding in your room? I saw it all. There were two figures reflected in the window—"
Chen Anzhi looked closely and was surprised to see that the person next to You Yuji was Si Que. The words he was about to say got stuck in his throat, unable to come out or out.
You Yuji didn't even raise her head and said, "It's late, Prince, take care."
"you!"
Chen Anzhi came back to his senses from his daze. Hearing You Yuji's cold tone, he felt furious and was about to lose his temper, but he was still concerned about Si Que being here.
Si Que held You Yuji's hand under the thin blanket covering his and You Yuji's legs.
You Yuji was startled, and her hand, which was held by him, froze for a moment. Just as she was about to take it back, Si Que held it tighter. You Yuji hesitated for a moment, and then did not struggle, but let him do it.
Si Que turned his head expressionlessly, glanced coldly at Chen Anzhi who was standing at the door, and said in a low and cold voice: "Sir, do you think I am the man who had an affair with your sister?"
As he spoke, he gently stroked You Yuji's hand under the thin blanket, from the back of the hand to the slender fingers, and then to the fingertips, stroking it over and over again, as if he was a rare treasure and couldn't let it go.
You Yuji secretly glanced at Si Que, surprised at how quickly his expression changed. She simply couldn't connect the now cold and proud Princess Que with the man who just held her hand to coax her...
"I..." Chen Anzhi was speechless.
Obviously, he didn't want to leave a bad impression on Princess Que. He racked his brains and said, "I'm worried that she will be held hostage and bullied by a wild man!"
Si Que nodded perfunctorily.
Chen Anzhi stood at the door awkwardly, not knowing what to say or do.
After drinking at the banquet today, he was a little tempted and wanted to find a woman to relieve himself. Fang Qingyi was not feeling well, and Chun Xing, who was always obedient, persuaded him to leave. After thinking about it, he came to Tan Xiang Ying Yue. He remembered what his father had told him, and thought that he should get the legitimate son out first.
But he didn't expect that when he was standing outside and saw the silhouettes of two people leaning against each other reflected in the window, he thought that You Yuji was just stubborn and rushed in angrily, only to find that he had misunderstood. There was no wild man at all, but Princess Que...
Si Que glanced coldly at Chen Anzhi at the door and said slowly: "Your Highness, you are visiting me late at night. Do you want me and my sister to serve you together?"
"No, no, no!" Chen Anzhi waved his hands repeatedly, "Princess, you misunderstood. How dare Anzhi think that!"
He spoke righteously and swore that he was a gentleman, but some scenes involuntarily emerged in his mind.
Chen Anzhi shifted his gaze away from Si Que and looked at You Yuji.
Si Que's face suddenly turned cold, and he turned sideways to block You Yuji. He narrowed his eyes and stared at Chen Anzhi.
Chen Anzhi was distracted for a moment, then immediately said with a smile: "It's already very late, and reading too much will tire your eyes. You should rest early, and I won't disturb you anymore."
He smiled, turned around and walked out, not even forgetting to close the door. He stood outside the door and said again: "You guys have a good rest, I won't disturb you."
Inside the room, Si Que turned around and pulled You Yuji's clothes with a cold face.
You Yuji slapped his hand away.
Si Que looked at You Yuji and smiled instantly, without any trace of the coldness just now. He said obediently: "The collar is too open, I'm afraid my sister will be cold."
You Yuji didn't respond, but changed the subject: "It's late, go to bed."
She turned her eyes to the bed.
She had slept on the beauty bed at night for many days. If she let Si Que sleep over there tonight and she stayed here, she was afraid that he would think too much.
Si Que did not do anything to You Yuji, he just lay quietly beside her and held her hand. Before You Yuji closed her eyes, she saw Si Que smiling at her obediently.
You Yuji fell asleep.
Si Que glanced at You Yuji, picked up a strand of her soft hair and twisted it around his slender fingers, and smiled meaningfully: "Wait until you fall in love with me, and I will lie in your arms and die. Isn't it fun, vixen?"
