Chapter 8
“Do you hate me that much?” Hanqiu suppressed her emotions.
“I never said that.”
Before Li Xilian could say another word, she saw tears welling in Hanqiu’s eyes.
“Hey, why are you crying?”
“If Second Miss doesn’t like me, then why did you bite… me yesterday?”
“Huh?”
Was the female lead really this innocent?
Couldn’t she tell I was humiliating her?
“009, what do I do about this?”
The system rolled its eyes.
What does this have to do with me?
Of course, Li Xilian couldn’t see that.
“Host, would you like to use an emergency pouch to solve the current problem?”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
Li Xilian felt that if this dragged on any longer, she was going to drown in guilt sooner or later.
About a second later, someone knocked on the door.
“Lianlian, I’m coming in, all right?”
When Li Xilian heard that heavenly voice, her ears practically perked up.
It was a lifesaving straw!
As she handed Hanqiu her own handkerchief for her to wipe her tears, she pushed her toward the bed to hide her. At the same time, she called out, “Sister! You can come in.”
“Lianlian… Do you know how badly you frightened me? Thank goodness you’re all right.”
As soon as Li Ruoyao entered, she pulled Li Xilian into her arms and looked her over from head to toe before hugging her tightly.
“It’s a good thing we’re all fine. Were there any casualties?”
Li Xilian hugged her back. There was a faint scent of medicinal herbs on her.
“No. It’s all thanks to our amazing Lianlian for stopping the demonic beast.”
Li Ruoyao praised her fondly.
“Not at all. It was all Sister’s credit.”
In front of her sister, Li Xilian fully showed off her clingy side.
Of course, Li Ruoyao loved it.
“Lianlian, hurry and lie down on the bed to rest. You haven’t recovered yet.”
“I’m fine. I want to go outside and walk around a bit. Sister, come with me.”
Naturally, Li Ruoyao had no reason to refuse.
…
From the side, Hanqiu only watched.
Why was everyone trying to steal Lianlian away?
That man from last night was like that.
Her sister was like that too…
Why?
“Host, something’s wrong!”
009 spoke up, stopping Li Xilian just as one foot had crossed the threshold.
“What is it?”
“Why has the female lead’s blackening value reached 80 at this point? It’s not time yet. If this keeps going, the plot is going to collapse.”
“!”
The female lead hates me that much?
What do I do now?
If she turns dark, the first person she’ll kill is me!
Li Xilian immediately stopped moving.
“How about you sacrifice yourself a little, host? I’ll help you buy half an hour. You can show the female lead some care.”
“009, what kind of international joke are you making?”
Li Xilian gritted her teeth.
Tsk.
“Sister, I suddenly feel so sleepy. I want to sleep for a while.”
To make it seem more convincing, she even yawned.
“All right, then. Lianlian, rest well.”
Li Ruoyao watched her lie down on the bed before leaving.
For some reason, she felt that something about Lianlian’s bed seemed strange.
“Second Miss…”
Hanqiu was very restless under the quilt.
“Don’t move around. Don’t touch weird places.”
With a smack, Li Xilian slapped the little head squirming in her arms. Enduring it with great difficulty, she waited until Li Ruoyao left, then immediately jumped out of bed.
After she lifted the quilt, Hanqiu’s face was flushed red and looked unbearably cute. Maybe she had been suffocating under there.
Li Xilian turned her head away, avoiding her gaze.
“You’re in a bad mood. Why?”
She did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
“How does Second Miss know?”
Hanqiu raised her head, lifting her clean, fair little face to look at Li Xilian.
“Don’t worry about that. Just tell me what would make you feel better. Hurry up. We only have half an hour.”
As she spoke, Li Xilian thought to herself that Hanqiu, the female lead, really had the face of a first love.
She was so beautiful she could almost rival Li Xilian herself.
Not that Li Xilian was being narcissistic.
Her high nose bridge and sharply defined features were flawless in every way. Her brows and eyes were refined yet carried a heroic air. When she mocked someone, her proud phoenix eyes would lower slightly, the ends of her eyes tilting upward beautifully. When she was gentle, she was like a cool breeze in the blazing heat of summer. When she was cold, she was like the biting wind of the Arctic.
When the two of them stood together, their beauty was simply off the charts.
One was aloof and cold.
The other was pure and gentle.
A perfect match!
Is the ogfl a masochist? When did she like lian lian?
