Si Qing raised his chin slightly, his peach blossom eyes deep and dark. "Come here."

Yu Jinzhao gasped, finally letting reason prevail over the urge to fight him to the death. Suppressing her drowsiness, she reluctantly left the warm bed, slipped on her slippers, walked to him, looked down at him, and spoke in a sweet, soft voice.

"I am coming."

She stood with her back to the carved window, the faint moonlight slanting across her, illuminating her fair and delicate face, making her look both tender and soft.

Si Qing casually stretched his legs, his gaze sweeping over her for a second without much haste. "Sing for me."

"what???"

Yu Jinzhao was taken aback. After processing what he had said, his eyes widened in shock, as if he found it unbelievable.

What could be more bizarre than a powerful figure you've offended calling you out in the middle of the night to sing for them?

Si Qing raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose. From his fingers to the straight lines of his nose, every inch of his body exuded a captivating charm.

Yu Jinzhao suddenly realized that during the three years he was her bodyguard, she would have him sing to her every night to lull her to sleep.

wipe.

Dead memories suddenly jumped up and attacked her, and she awkwardly wanted to travel back in time to kill her former, troublesome self.

So he's now seeking revenge?

Sure, that's very much like Si Ye.

Yu Jinzhao inwardly cursed his nitpicking again, but on the surface he smiled respectfully and understandingly, politely declining, "I'm tone-deaf when I sing, I'm afraid it would offend Master Si's ears."

She lowered her eyes slightly, her fox-like eyes, alluring yet refined, gleaming with moonlight, soft and gentle, with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, captivating people without their awareness.

Si Qing gazed at her calmly for a moment, noticing her sleepy eyes. He then placed a pillow behind his back, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

"You can choose not to sing."

He stared at her intently, as if trying to see every subtle expression on her face.

Is there a choice not to sing?

Yu Jinzhao felt a sense of unease, doubting that Si Qing would be so easy to talk to.

She glanced at Si Qing's expression out of the corner of her eye. The man was expressionless, and there was no trace of emotion in his dark eyes.

He asked her to sing because he wanted to get revenge on her; if she didn't vent her anger, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Sensing something was amiss, she gritted her teeth and vowed to secretly kill him within three days!

"Master Si, what song would you like to hear?" Yu Jinzhao's lips curled into a sweet smile. He was so sleepy that his body felt limp, and he sat down on the carpet while yawning.

"..."

Not hearing his reply, she looked up at him with misty eyes.

Seeing his gloomy expression, when he met her gaze, his eyes instantly turned icy cold. He then turned his face away and ignored Yu Jinzhao.

Yu Jinzhao pursed her lips.

He asked her to sing, she agreed, but then he got upset. She's so hard to please!

After silently complaining, with the idea of ​​quickly lulling everyone to sleep so she could fall asleep herself, she started singing, "Unity is strength, unity is strength, this strength is iron, this strength is steel..."

Si Qinggang picked up the water glass on the bedside table and took a sip. Upon hearing Yu Jinzhao's melodious and powerful singing voice, he was choked and coughed. It took him a while to calm down after pressing his fist to his lips.

Yu Jinzhao was interrupted by his reaction and quickly patted his back to pat him soothe him, but Si Qing didn't appreciate it and pushed her hand away.

"You sang very well; your singing even chased away my last bit of sleepiness."

This song was played during military training. It was the only one she sang without going off-key, but the melody was too righteous, making people feel full of energy. It was definitely not suitable for lulling him to sleep.

Yu Jinzhao coughed softly, feeling utterly listless. She couldn't help but yawn, wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes caused by exhaustion. To hide her embarrassment, she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.

"...Hmm, shall I change to a gentler one?"

After saying that, she cleared her throat, forced herself to be perfunctory, and opened her mouth in a muffled voice, "Pleasant Goat, Pretty Goat and Big Big Wolf."

Ah... Black Cat Sheriff!

Calabash Brothers, Calabash Brothers, seven flowers on one vine.

I have a little donkey, but I never ride it.

Si Qing remained silent.

It's somewhat unbelievable how she managed to sing different children's songs together, and how each lyric was sung with its own distinct personality, each refusing to yield to the others, making it incredibly captivating.

This is more than just being tone-deaf; she's completely off-key.

He must be crazy to make her sing; instead of forcing her to reveal her true nature, he tormented her.

Just as I was about to tell her to stop singing, the mesmerizing song in my ears gradually faded away.

Looking down, I saw her head slowly drooping over the headboard; she had finally succumbed to the overwhelming sleepiness and fallen asleep.

Great, I had her sing to lull him to sleep, but she ended up falling asleep herself.

Si Qing was initially annoyed by her submissiveness, but after seeing her carefree sleeping appearance, he suddenly lost his temper.

A strong night wind blew in through the carved window, causing the chandelier to sway and make a soft, yet loud and clear sound in the quiet room.

Yu Jinzhao's face was bathed in the enchanting moonlight, her cheeks were rosy, her bright red lips were upturned, and her pink tongue appeared and disappeared.

Like a bewitching enchantress.

Memories that should have sunk into the deep sea flashed before my eyes, while the silvery light, swayed by the wind, fell into the seabed, creating ripples and revealing glimpses of the sky.

"I can't sleep, please sing me a song to help me fall asleep."

"You're my bodyguard. You do whatever I tell you to do, and you're not allowed to disobey me!"

"..."

The more unrestrained and radiant she was in front of him back then, the more ironic her current submissiveness becomes.

In the dim light, Si Qing stared blankly at her sleeping face. Only at this moment did she seem real to him.

You clearly don't want to, so why are you pretending to be obedient...?

A dark glint flashed in his eyes, and he reached out in a daze, slowly drawing closer to her face...
