Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 21 Three Childish People

She was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open, and she still reached out to pull at her blanket, but she was pitifully weak.

The girl, unable to pull the blanket up, was so anxious she was almost in tears.

"You big scoundrel! Breaking into a woman's room in the middle of the night is bad enough, but you don't even let her sleep! What kind of heart do you have?"

As for the Chaoyang Holy Palace that the man mentioned, Xiao Ali asked, "What?"

I didn't hear you clearly.

Hongyue almost laughed in anger. "You were just calling me a good person, and now you're a hooligan? Breaking into a boudoir at night... Little girl, who treats an inn like their own private room?"

The little girl really can turn her back on you without a second thought.

Oh no, they won't recognize people if they close their eyes.

Xuan Li's mind was completely foggy and she couldn't think straight. When she saw that the man was still going after her blanket and started punching and kicking her without any regard for her feelings, she didn't remember that this man was the one who had saved her life.

"I do not care!"

"You big pervert, give me back my blanket!"

Caught off guard, Hongyue was actually patted on the neck by the little girl's hand.

Red Moon: "......."

"Fine, you're a rogue, huh? I'm going to prove that today!"

Hongyue clenched her teeth, showing a hint of seriousness, and reached through the blankets with one hand to wrap her arm around the little girl's waist.

With one hand grabbing the blanket, she hugged, spread it out, and rolled it up. Before Xuan Li could even react, she was wrapped up like a caterpillar and lying at the very back of the bed.

The pressure woke up the glutinous rice balls that were sleeping inside.

Without saying a word, the man lay down next to her, the distance between them no more than two fists.

"What are you doing?"

The little girl stared at him with wide, round eyes, looking completely bewildered, her expression exactly like that of the little fox who had just woken up.

No, how did you two manage to have such perfectly synchronized facial expressions?

Hongyue really wanted to laugh.

"Of course, it's to solidify the 'rogue' label. Didn't you say I broke into a woman's room at night?"

Xuan Li was startled awake and said angrily,

"I was just saying it casually!"

Hongyue propped her head up with one hand, looking innocent. "How was I supposed to know you were just saying it casually? I'm a simple-minded person, I can't understand all the meaning behind it."

"you!"

Xuan Li tried to reach out and free herself from under the covers, but she didn't know how the man had rolled himself up so tightly that there wasn't even a sliver of space.

She had no choice but to soften her voice, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night, you kind person? Why are you here?"

Hongyue raised an eyebrow. "Not calling me a hooligan anymore?"

The little girl nodded obediently, "I was wrong, you're such a good person."

A wise person knows when to yield, and Xuan Li thinks it's good to yield when necessary.

Xuan Li's inner thoughts: Damn it, wait until I get out, I'll make Tangyuan bite you!

Those seemingly obedient eyes, which concealed a fiery glint within them, made it truly difficult for Hongyue to believe that the little girl genuinely knew she was wrong.

However, he didn't expose him. He sat up and freed the person from under the covers. "I've come to see you about two things. The first one..."

He was still a little reluctant to leave. "Little Ali, I'm leaving now. Before I go, I want to give you something to save your life, so that you won't die before I see you again."

Hongyue tidied the little girl's hair and took out a handkerchief from her clothes to wipe the dust off her face.

The little girl's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard him say he was leaving.

"Really?"

The man pinched her cheek with a half-smile.

"very happy?"

Xuan Li's smile froze on her face, and she immediately looked away, "Really?"

Hongyue didn't argue with her, ignoring the girl's refusal, and forcibly pulled her hand, placing a jade pendant carved from red jade in her palm.

"There is a teleportation array in this jade pendant. If you crush it, it can bring you to my side. That way, it can save your life."

I was genuinely worried about the girl's safety while he was away.

"Of course, considering your weakling status, I'll give you another small gift, otherwise you won't be able to break the life-saving charm in your hand when you try to escape."

That would be truly embarrassing.

Hongyue naturally knew that this little girl had no spiritual power.

The man brought his index and middle fingers together and wrote a character on the back of her hand with the tip of his finger. The golden mark was hidden in her skin. "In a critical situation, it can help increase the strength of your hand."

Xuan Li's lips twitched. "A weakling in combat? Thank you."

Hongyue accepted it without hesitation, saying, "You're welcome."

Girl: .....Heh.

but......

"Why are you so good to me? You saved me and gave me this teleportation array."

Xuan Li was puzzled. Could someone really give such a precious gift after only meeting twice?

The man tapped her forehead and said indifferently, "I can give it to you whenever I want. You're such a weakling, you don't know how long you'd survive on the continent without some means of self-preservation, especially since you're so cute."

The little girl glared at him, and said defiantly, "What do you mean by cute? I'm naturally beautiful and stunningly gorgeous, okay?"

She's so beautiful, how could this scoundrel be blind to call her cute?!

The little girl puffed up her cheeks unconsciously, making Hongyue very itchy to touch her.

The man smiled, feeling his heart soften completely. "Okay, okay."

"Whatever you say, my lady."

When she spoke her last words, Hongyue's voice was clearly indulgent, her lowered voice like the sound of a zither, deep and alluring without her even realizing it.
