Chapter 79 Pretending to be a ghost
After this incident, Zhao Xi lost interest in playing chess and his face looked unhappy.

He turned around and walked into the house in a daze, his whole body wilted: "Let's stop here today, I don't feel well, I'm going to go back and rest first."

After saying this, he left without paying any attention to Zhao Qingxun.

After he left, Zhao Qingxun and Zhao Qiyue looked at each other and curled their lips at the same time.

In the first two years after arriving in Youzhou, Zhao Xi would dream of his mother and sister from time to time. Later, as time went by, and they both wrote to him saying that they were all very good, he gradually stopped having these dreams.

I don’t know what’s going on tonight. Is it an illusion or does it have some other meaning?

Zhao Xi sighed while lying on the bed, turned over and closed his eyes, recalling the scene of his relatives parting that year. He tried hard to make himself fall asleep and have a good rest.

But how could Si Yan and Zhao Qingxun let him have his wish?

Just when Zhao Xi was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly heard a low sobbing sound beside his ear. He opened his eyes and found a young woman standing outside the window. It was the person he saw when he was playing chess at night.

Although Zhao Ru's face had become blurred in his mind as time passed, the woman in front of him looked very similar to his sister in both figure and face, as if it was Zhao Ru.

Yuwen Xilan looked at him timidly and called softly, "Brother~"

Zhao Xi rubbed his eyes and murmured, "Xiao Ru, is that you?"

Zhao Xi is a prince after all, and it's hard for Yuwen Xilan not to be nervous when he does such a mysterious thing to deceive people.

She wiped the sweat from her palms on the hem of her clothes, tried to remain calm, called out "brother" twice, and then moved to the side as planned, ready to hide.

But just as she was tiptoeing away, because of her nervousness and the fact that it was too dark to see the ground, she tripped over a protruding stone.

With a "bang", Yuwen Xilan sat on the ground.

At this moment, Zhao Xi had already turned over and got out of bed, and with a light skill, he landed directly outside the window. His action frightened Yu Wenxilan, and also frightened Zhao Qingxun and Zhao Qiyue who were hiding not far away.

Zhao Qiyue covered her mouth and exclaimed: "Ah, what should I do?"

Zhao Qingxun pulled her back, his face stern: "Let's see first."

Seeing that there was no time to escape, Yuwen Xilan simply gave up struggling, sat on the ground, hugged her knees and pretended to cry.

Zhao Xi took two steps forward, put his big hand on Yuwen Xilan's shoulder, and said anxiously, "Xiaoru, Xiaoru, what's wrong with you? Why did you come back to see me? Did something happen?"

The two were very close to each other. If Yuwen Xilan looked up, she would definitely meet his eyes. If Zhao Xi saw something at that time, I wonder if he would strangle her to death immediately.

Thinking of this, Yuwen Xilan's head was spinning with sparks. When Zhao Xi came over, she was quick-witted and hugged him fiercely: "Brother, it hurts."

Zhao Xi now completely regards her as his own sister. He hugs the person in front of him tightly, just like when they were children, feeling her trembling violently in his arms, his heart tightened into a ball.

This scene made him dream back to the time when they parted.

Zhao Xi murmured, "Don't be afraid, I'm here, I will protect you."

After she finished speaking, Yu Wen Xilan began to tremble even more violently. She was not pretending, she really couldn't control herself.

Zhao Xi was such a big guy that he could hold her like a pair of pliers and it would only take a few minutes to crush her to death.

Yuwen Xilan felt a little regretful and kept shouting in her heart: Mother, I am so scared.
