Chapter 363 Knowing It Was Him



Chapter 363 Knowing It Was Him

Only then did Xu Yingying stand up and cautiously come to Li Siqi. She pushed him carefully and after confirming that Li Siqi had really fainted, Xu Yingying breathed a sigh of relief.

There was limited space next to the table. Xu Yingying looked around and decided to bear the pain herself and helped Li Siqi to the bed.

By the time Li Siqi lay flat on the bed, Xu Yingying was already exhausted. She fanned herself and looked at Li Siqi speechlessly. She didn't expect that Li Siqi looked thin but was actually very powerful.

After calming her breathing, Xu Yingying began to examine Li Siqi's face.

Xu Yingying had sharp eyes and saw the flaw at a glance, which was a place she usually never paid attention to.

At the position of Li Siqi's jawline, one can vaguely see a not very obvious dividing line. That thing is hidden in the shadow of the jawline. If you don't look carefully, you really can't find it.

Xu Yingying's heart skipped a beat when she saw that. She calmed herself down and stretched out her hand tremblingly towards the junction.

But when she was about to touch him, Xu Yingying still backed off. After thinking for a while, she gritted her teeth and took one last effort to lift the human skin mask on Li Siqi's face.

Of course, it was not completely removed, but only a part of it. However, this part was enough for Xu Yingying to see the true face under the mask.

Realizing Xu Yingying's intention, Li Siqi restrained himself from stopping Xu Yingying. Although he didn't know why Xu Yingying began to doubt his identity, he didn't want to hide it from Xu Yingying.

Xu Yingying's hands froze there. She also recognized that under Xiao Hao's mask was Li Siqi's face.

Xu Yingying couldn't accept it. She couldn't believe that she and Li Siqi had been together for such a long time. She thought she had escaped Li Siqi's control.

Now seeing Li Siqi's face again, Xu Yingying's body trembled uncontrollably. She thought she had escaped, but when she turned around, she found that she was still under the control of the other party. Anyone would collapse.

Xu Yingying now felt that her mind was in a mess and she could not stay here any longer. She helped Li Siqi fix the mask on his face and hurriedly retreated. She could not care about anything else at this moment.

The moment the door was closed, Li Siqi's eyes, which had been closed, opened instantly. He sat up and touched the mask on his face. His originally happy mood was now a mess.

Li Siqi didn't expect that Xu Yingying still discovered his true identity. Before Xu Yingying found out, Li Siqi could still follow Xu Yingying heartlessly and protect her.

But now, Li Siqi retreated a little. He didn't know what Xu Yingying was thinking, and he didn't know whether Xu Yingying would choose to leave quietly again tonight.

Li Siqi clenched his hands, resisting the urge to chase after him.

As for Xu Yingying, she returned to her room and lay on the bed in silence. When she first saw Li Siqi, Xu Yingying wanted to turn around and leave. If he was just Xiao Hao, it would be fine, but she was the one she wanted to escape from.

But now she has calmed down, and came to her senses. Although Li Siqi knew that she had run away, he still chased her. However, he did not ask her to go back with him. Instead, he changed his appearance and followed behind her, protecting her all the way. Thinking about it carefully, Xu Yingying could not find any evidence that Li Siqi wanted to harm her. On the contrary, he still cherished her very much. Xu Yingying was not disgusted by Li Siqi's behavior.

After much thought, Xu Yingying decided to pretend that she knew nothing, let things take their course, and wait until the day when Li Siqi really wanted to tell her.

The next day, Li Siqi woke up early. He stood at the door of Xu Yingying's room, his heart beating for a long time. He was very afraid that when he pushed the door open, the room would be empty.

As an emperor, he is in charge of all matters and has the power over life and death of everyone. However, when facing Xu Yingying, he is always at a loss like a child.

Just when Li Siqi was struggling, Xu Yingying opened the door directly.

Seeing Li Siqi standing outside, Xu Yingying pretended to know nothing and asked in confusion: "Brother Xiao, what are you doing standing here? Why don't you knock on the door?"

Li Siqi was surprised for a moment. He didn't expect Xu Yingying didn't expose him. She seemed to want to pretend that nothing had happened. Li Siqi was of course happy to cooperate with Xu Yingying to cover up the truth.

"Nothing, I just thought that if Miss Xu hasn't woken up yet, there are differences between men and women. If I barge in rashly and see something I shouldn't see, it would damage the lady's reputation, right?" The corners of Li Siqi's mouth showed the familiar arc of Xu Yingying. That was the expression Li Siqi usually had when facing Xu Yingying. Li Siqi thought that Xu Yingying had already exposed his identity, so it would be a bit unreasonable if he was still hiding now.

"Brother Xiao is still thinking about me as always." Xu Yingying said with a wry smile, and her words seemed to have a hidden meaning.

Li Siqi fell silent immediately. He was unsure of Xu Yingying's current temper. Adhering to the principle that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made, Li Siqi wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

As usual, Xu Yingying counted her belongings, had a simple breakfast, then found a vacant seat not far from the inn and sat down. She started to set up a stall to tell fortunes for people, and used the money she earned from fortune-telling as travel expenses to the next town.

Apart from Li Siqi who followed her, Xu Yingying felt that everything else was going exceptionally smoothly, especially after getting rid of Wang Jingrui. After all, Wang Jingrui was not an easy person to deal with. Every time Xu Yingying took Wang Jingrui out to set up a stall, she needed to prepare herself mentally for a long time.

After a day of fortune-telling, Xu Yingying felt that her limbs had become much stiffer. She stood up with great effort, moving back and forth in small steps to relax her muscles and bones.

At this time, Li Siqi walked out of the shop next door, holding two drinks in his hands, which looked like local specialties.

Li Siqi handed Xu Yingying a cup like offering a treasure, "Try it. I just heard that this shop's drinks are very famous, so I went over to buy some. It should taste good. I think you like it."

Looking at Li Siqi's expectant eyes, Xu Yingying was silent for a moment, but still hesitated and picked it up and put it to her lips. In fact, after knowing that Xiao Hao was Li Siqi, Xu Yingying became more cautious, fearing that Li Siqi would do the same as her and drug her and forcibly take her back to the capital. If this was really the case, then she would be doomed.
