When Tianming saw this face, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Hahaha... I was just kidding. Look at your face, how could it be... hmm!?"
Tianming performed on the spot and his smile gradually disappeared.jpg
Because he found that the beautiful young lady opposite who showed her true face suddenly changed her expression and temperament, and then... he saw the shawl-distributed version of the innkeeper Shi Lan!
Although the clothes and hairstyle didn't match, the paralyzed face and dejection clearly confirmed the other party's identity.
"Isn't it...Shi Lan, you are really a woman!?" Tianming looked at this 'good brother' who had shared hardships with him in surprise.
Seeing that Tian Ming had already believed it, Shi Lan immediately put away her frustration and nodded to the other party - she doesn't like to pretend to be virtuous and affect her mood if it's not necessary.
After that, Shi Lan's attention turned to Shao Yu again, obviously still waiting for the answer to the previous question.
"Oh!" Shaoyu reacted belatedly after a while, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "That...actually I didn't know that before, I just made a casual guess, and then...tested you." p>
This behavior is commonly known as ‘bluffing’.
Shi Lan, who had little experience and was low on guard against Tian Ming and Shao Yu, was deceived.
"..." Shi Lan blinked and said nothing about being deceived.
On the contrary, Tianming curled his lips and hissed, "Is this okay?"
Shao Yu hurriedly explained, "It's not entirely based on deception. There is still some evidence, but it's not direct."
Shaoyu is not talking nonsense, his guess is indeed based on a certain basis.
First of all, the situation in Songhai City has been thoroughly investigated by Stolen Foot in the past few days. Theoretically, it is impossible for a mysterious person who is an enemy of the empire to suddenly appear without any reason, which means that the other party may be them.
Meet people who know.
Here, Shi Lan is undoubtedly a likely candidate with a higher probability, because Shao Yu once suspected that she and Meng Tian had a relationship, and it was not a friendly relationship.
Secondly, Shao Yu happened to catch a glimpse of Shi Lan at the port in the evening. If she was interested in mirages, it would be normal for her to stay nearby at night and run into them and get into trouble.
Finally, it was because Shao Yu looked familiar at the eyes above Shi Lan's scarf. Although it was completely different from Shi Lan's usual temperament, it still caught his attention.
Of course, these are all insignificant details and not enough to really prove anything. Shao Yu didn't even confirm that Shi Lan was a woman disguised as a man before she actually opened her mouth.
His original intention in shouting out that sentence was always just to try to bluff the other party, and it wouldn't be a big deal if he was wrong anyway.
Tianming did not comment on Shaoyu's excuse, but judging from his expression, it was obvious that he did not agree with it.
As for Shi Lan, she didn't care at all. After getting the reply that Shao Yu was guessing, she simply focused on the big disk hanging in the sky.
Seeing that the effect was not good, Shao Yu simply changed the topic and walked up to Shi Lan to talk to her:
"Miss Shi Lan, thank you very much for what happened tonight."
Shi Lan folded her arms in front of her chest and stood alone on the edge of the eaves. The night wind blew her black hair around, but she didn't care and responded indifferently, "It's nothing, it's just convenient." p>
Shao Yu stood behind Shi Lan, his eyes furtively glancing at her for a while, and then quickly looking back as if he was guilty of a crime. His mouth was a little stuck, and he didn't know what to say.
Tianming looked at his friend suspiciously, feeling that there might be something wrong with his brain. Then he didn't care and talked to Shi Lan carelessly:
"Shi Lan, why don't we leave here first? It's very cold with the wind blowing from such a high place, and it's so late. We need to go to bed."
After saying that, he yawned uncontrollably.
After hearing this, Shaoyu couldn't help but nod in agreement, "Yes, since everything is fine, let's leave first and find a suitable place to chat again."
Shi Lan shook her head and rejected the suggestion:
"It's best not to leave until dawn."
"Why?" Tianming asked in shock, rubbing the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes.
Shi Lan looked down at the quiet street below, "Although those things in the sky have inexplicably retreated, it may not be safe on the ground, so hiding here is the safest."
After Shao Yu touched his chin and pondered for a while, he decisively chose to imitate the former Tianming and unconditionally agreed with the goddess - it doesn't matter whether it makes sense or not, he just likes this cautious attitude!
"Miss Shi Lan is right, we'd better be on the safe side."
Tianming scratched his head, feeling a little uncomfortable. It was not very comfortable to sleep on the roof.
At the same time, he glanced at his good brother with suspicious eyes - why did he have an inexplicable sense of déjà vu?
"Forget it, let's listen to you..."
"If you're sleepy, just sleep. I'll keep watch."
Shi Lan jumped lightly, and her slender and flexible body drew a graceful curve in the air. Then she landed steadily on the highest point of the intersection center of the roof ridges. She stood on her tiptoes and lowered her eyes independently under the soft moonlight.
Shao Yu looked at Shi Lan standing on the ridge of the house with some daze. He was stunned for a moment, but it was dawn that called his soul back.
"Hey! Hey! Hey!"
"Wake up! Come here and do me a favor."
"Ah? Ah!"
Two cries with completely different tones illustrate the process of Shaoyu's recovery.
However, when he came back to his senses, he did not immediately talk to Tianming. Instead, he first said to Shi Lan:
"I'm not sleepy, I'll stay with you, Miss Shi Lan!"
Regarding this proposal, Shi Lan half-closed her eyes and did not respond. It was regarded as...tacit approval.
There's no reason to stop her. Can she force someone to sleep if they don't want to?
Tian Ming rolled his eyes, not bothering to undermine his brother at this time, so he just slapped his brother on the chest angrily:
"If you don't sleep, I will sleep!"
"Come here and help me be a cushion. I can't sleep with my head on the tiles!"
Shao Yu was not very happy with Tianming's request for a knee pillow.
Not to mention that this would make it inconvenient for him to chat with Shi Lan, it would be awkward enough just to rest his thigh on a man.
But Tianming obviously doesn’t intend to let Shao Yu go.
After some vague threats, Shao Yu reluctantly gave in.
This is also his own fault. He can't hide his little thoughts at all. It's all written on his face. He deserves to be noticed and exploited at dawn.
Finally, Shao Yu bent his knees and sat down against the ridge of the house. Tianming lay in Shao Yu's arms and slept beautifully. Shi Lan was independent at the highest point, indifferently observing the surrounding environment - focusing on the mirages on the sea and the mirages in the sky.
Bright moon.
Songhai City under the night has temporarily returned to calm. Everything is quiet. Time passes silently, bit by bit, until the long night is about to end.
