In fact, Xiao Yi is not lacking in servants. For someone like him, he can have as many women as he desires. The days I spent by his side were relatively leisurely. I would either sit by the window counting the geese flying south or sit on the steps outside playing with a flower string.
Everyone knows that Xiao Yi is indifferent to women and treats me with disdain. He even tells me to get out and stop lingering in front of him.
“Xiao Yi, there is something I don’t understand.” I walked up to Xiao Yi and frowned at him. Xiao Yi put down his book and looked at me.
“Speak.”
“If you don’t want me to stay by your side, why did you save me?”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi raised an eyebrow slightly. “My saving you has nothing to do with whether you stay by my side.”
“But you…”
“Are you asking why I treat you poorly?” Xiao Yi said, suddenly letting out a sigh. “Qian Qian, in this world, if one cannot live for oneself, it ultimately amounts to nothing.”
I was taken aback for a moment, not quite understanding Xiao Yi's meaning. But soon, I realized. Xiao Yi wanted to borrow troops, and a Marquis had agreed to help him, but the condition was that I would accompany him.
Xiao Yi did not agree but instead brought me forward and asked if I was willing to accompany that Marquis. I shook my head.
Xiao Yi nodded. “Then I will refuse.”
Xiao Yi's reason for rejecting the Marquis was quite ridiculous: "She's still young, I can't bear to."
The Marquis was furious, believing that Xiao Yi lacked sincerity, and immediately left.
I chased after Xiao Yi and asked him for a long time.
"Why did you refuse?"
"Didn't you say you didn't want me to stay by your side?"
"The Marquis is powerful and influential. Following her would be better than following you, right?"
Xiao Yi stopped in his tracks and looked at me quietly.
"I don't want you to obey me; I want you to choose according to your own will."
"Besides, I, Xiao Yi, disdain to use a woman for personal gain, especially someone as young as you."
I was taken aback; I didn't expect Xiao Yi to say such things.
Although Xiao Yi was the son of a courtesan, he was different from Luo Yu and others.
He didn't seem like a commoner; instead, he resembled an educated person.
Unlike Luo Yu, who viewed the world as mere livestock to be slaughtered at will, or Luo Che, who regarded people as ants to be trampled upon, Xiao Yi had his own principles and convictions.
At that moment, I realized that Xiao Yi was different.
Because Xiao Yi had previously toyed with me, I was unhappy with him and ignored him for a whole day.
That night, I didn't even leave the door open for him.
When Xiao Yi returned, although he was a warrior, his temper was generally quite good.
He didn't kick the door open like other warriors would have done.
Instead, he knocked on the door.
Seeing that I didn't respond, he lifted his foot and kicked the bolt.
The door swung open wide, and Xiao Yi walked in.
“Xiao Yi!”
I shouted his name through clenched teeth.
“Can’t you sleep in another room?”
“There are so many rooms in this palace; why do you have to come into mine?”
Xiao Yi walked in front of me, looking down at me from above.
“Qian Qian, there are indeed many rooms in the palace, but tonight is different for me.”
“I can’t leave.”
I stopped speaking and just stared coldly at him.
Xiao Yi felt a bit uncomfortable under my gaze and looked away, clearing his throat twice.
“Well, it’s getting late, and I plan to go to sleep.”
After saying that, Xiao Yi turned and left my room.
I stayed where I was, cursing Xiao Yi through clenched teeth.
“Liar!”
“Xiao Yi, you big liar!”
