Quick Wear: Salted Fish anchor always eats melons on the scene

There was really someone standing behind Shi Li.

A very young man.

What was strange was that he approached so quietly, without making any sound of footsteps.

At this time, she was standing there quietly in a snow-white middle-length coat.

Her black hair was scattered behind her back, and her black eyes stared at Shi Li without blinking. Her skin was pale and bloodless, and her lips were also pale, with only a hint of blood.

"You, you...are you a human or a ghost?"

Shi Li stared at him, the fear in her heart did not diminish at all, but deepened. Not just anyone could break into the princess's mansion at will, and the possibility that this boy was a ghost was actually greater than that of a human.

When Shi Li thought of the word "ghost", all the hairs on his body stood up.

Hearing her question, the boy finally blinked, then opened his mouth and smiled slowly.

It was broad daylight, and although the boy was very handsome, his smile revealed his sharp white teeth, and the terrifying effect immediately became even more terrifying.

Shi Li subconsciously stepped back, but forgot that she was standing at the edge of the pond and fell into it with a splash.

Caught off guard, Shi Li choked on the water, but the water in the pond was not deep. She struggled a few times and finally stood up, the water just reaching her neck.

Before she could figure out how to get ashore, the young man squatted down and extended a hand to her.

Shi Li hid back and would rather soak in the water.

The boy smiled again, and finally said the first sentence after they met, "The sun is so bright, if I were a ghost, would I still be able to stand here and talk to you?"

What if it’s a ghost with great spiritual power?

Shi Li said this silently in her heart, but didn't say it out loud, and looked at him cautiously. The boy was not in a hurry, and squatted leisurely by the pond, and his hand continued to stretch out in front of her.

After a long stalemate, a breeze blew. It was early summer after all, and Shi Li sneezed loudly.

"Come up quickly, or you'll catch a cold and have to drink bitter medicine." The young man twisted his lips, looking cynical.

Shi Li was shivering in the wind. He looked at the bony hand in front of him and gritted his teeth to grab it.

Very good, your hands are not cold, they are at normal body temperature.

Shi Li breathed a sigh of relief and climbed to the shore with the help of his strength.

Just as he stood firm on his feet, the maid returned with the gauze net. She saw this scene from a distance and her eyes widened in horror.

"She accidentally fell into the water just now. Take her back and change her clothes." The young man put his hands behind his back and leisurely instructed the maid.

The maid reacted, her face turned pale, and she walked to Shi Li in two or three steps, "Miss, please come back with me."

Shi Li was now dripping with water all over, so she naturally would not stay here any longer, but it would be a pity to ruin her new clothes.

She looked down regretfully and followed the maid back, but she didn't notice that the maid bowed respectfully to the young man with an unclear awe on her face.

When they were about to return to their own courtyard, Shi Li suddenly remembered to ask: "That person just now..."

"The young lady has only been here for the first day, how come she fell into the water? How are we going to explain this to His Highness and the Prince Consort..." But the maid seemed not to hear her voice, she frowned and looked extremely nervous.

Seeing this, Shi Li felt very embarrassed.

It's really not good to have something like this happen on your first day at someone else's place.

After hesitating for a moment, she carefully suggested, "Since no one else saw it, why don't we just keep it a secret?"

"How can that be possible? I dare not hide the fact that the young lady fell into the water!" The maid rejected her proposal immediately, and her brows furrowed even more tightly when she saw her trembling.

"Miss, go change your wet clothes quickly. I will immediately arrange for someone to prepare hot water and ginger soup for bathing!"

All this made everyone in the courtyard busy.

Shi Li felt even more embarrassed. After coming out of the shower, even though she didn't like the strong ginger smell in the ginger soup, she still tilted her head back and drank the whole bowl of ginger soup.

Although it doesn't taste good, I do feel warm after drinking it, and no longer shivering like before.

"Who was that person I met in the back garden just now?" Shi Li handed the bowl to the maid and asked curiously.

Seeing that Shi Li was fine, the maid was no longer as panicked and worried as before. She replied softly, "The princess is your highness's friend and is staying in the mansion temporarily."

Shi Li: ...

Why does this guest "friend" sound so ambiguous?
