shi xi was a little puzzled when she heard the sound of the door closing.

shouldn’t the door be open?

forget it, it wasn’t anything shameful anyway.

seeing that the guard had easily found the first aid box, shi xi asked, “how did you know the first aid kit was here?”

the guard opened the first aid kit and said coldly, “trained.”

trained?

shi xi’s gaze landed on the guard’s face. “i don’t think i’ve seen you before. did you just get transferred here?”

the guards chosen by the royal family were all tall and handsome men. shi xi had admired the guards at the door a few days ago and probably recognized them.

however, she had never seen this guard before.

he had brown hair and brown eyes. his facial features were deep, and his figure was as tall as bamboo. his fingers were slender and beautiful.

today i am on duty. the guard’s slender fingers picked out a band-aid from the medicine box and said, “please extend your hand.”

shi xi added, “first, eliminate poison.”

she was afraid that the flowers in the garden had pesticide residue.

the guard took out some disinfectant, knelt on one knee, and held the girl’s hand.

shi xi’s heart raced and she wanted to retract her hand.

however, the guard carefully disinfected her fingers and put on a band-aid.

“thank you.” shi xi pulled her hand back and smiled awkwardly.

the guard looked up at shi xi and said in a low voice, “be careful next time.”

with that, the guard stood up and was about to leave.

“wait a minute.” shi xi stopped him. “come here.”

“do you have any other orders?”

“why don’t you call me princess consort?” shi xi asked.

the guard did not speak.

shi xi leaned against the wheelchair and said coldly, “didn’t you receive training? don’t you even know how to address me?”

no matter how much she emphasized it to sena, sena would always call her princess consort.

but this guard had never shouted.

xie yunzhou sighed helplessly and half-squatted in front of shi xi. he resumed his original voice and said, “how’s your leg?”

“it’s just a fracture.” shi xi recognized xie yunzhou’s voice. “what happened to your face? didn’t you get shot? why are you here?”

“you can only sneak in if you disguise yourself.” xie yunzhou reached out and pinched the girl’s face. “i’m fine, don’t worry.”

shi xi stretched out her hand. “hug.”

xie yunzhou was afraid of hurting the girl. he gently hugged the girl and finally felt a trace of peace.

his efforts to come here were not in vain.

shi xi wanted to say a lot.

however, when she saw xie yunzhou’s unfamiliar face, she could not say anything.

how strange.

it was as if she was dating a stranger.

“when your leg is better, i will take you out.” xie yunzhou gently kissed the girl’s cheek. “don’t be afraid.”

“i’m not afraid.” shi xi hugged his neck and said seriously, “you have to protect yourself too. don’t be discovered.”

“alright.”

shi xi let go and said, “you can go out first. don’t be suspected.”

xie yunzhou was reluctant to leave, so he could only stand up and prepare to leave.

however, just as he was about to leave, the door handle turned.

xie yunzhou’s eyes turned cold.

the door was pushed open from the outside, and ryan came in. when he saw the man in the room, his gaze was sharp. “why aren’t you guarding the door? why are you here?”

“my finger was pricked by a thorn just now,” shi xi said. “sena went out, so i asked him to come in and help me put on a band-aid.”

the guard lowered his eyes. “this is what 1 should do.”

ryan narrowed his eyes and immediately smiled. “well done. leave your number and 1’11 get the guard captain to give you a raise..”
