Chapter 382 Bravely Become Cannon Fodder
Li Huawen naturally agreed: "Brother Gu, don't worry, I will definitely hand the dagger to my second sister, and I will say good things about you in front of her."
Gu Feiyan was very happy to hear this, and nodded calmly: "Well, it's done. I'll give you a set of fine writing brushes, inkstones, and paper."
If he could really win Li Xiaoxiao's favor, Li Huawen would be his brother-in-law, so naturally he would have to curry favor with him.
"Okay, then we have a deal." Li Huawen smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line.
Not only Gu Feiyan felt that Li Xiaoxiao was distancing herself from him, Si Chengxu felt it as well. He had the same idea as Gu Feiyan, thinking that Li Xiaoxiao didn't like him.
Because of his unhappiness, the entire military camp was trembling with fear. The reason was simple: Si Chengxu had a cold face all day long and no one was afraid of him.
As Si Chengxu's right-hand man, Si Er naturally bravely serves as a cannon fodder, devoting himself to the cause until his death.
"Master, did the little girl make you angry?" Si Er lowered his head, glanced at Si Chengxu cautiously, and then quickly lowered his head again.
Si Chengxu didn't say a word. He sat there looking at the military book in his hand. He didn't turn the page for a long time, his eyes fixed on a certain place.
He knew everything that happened in the Si Mansion, and the reason why Si Chengxu was unhappy was because of Li Xiaoxiao.
As a person involved, I couldn't see clearly, but as a bystander, I saw it clearly.
Although Li Xiaoxiao's attitude towards Ye had become much colder, she also kept a certain distance from Gu Feiyan, so he guessed that Li Xiaoxiao must have known what they were thinking.
She thought that she didn't like any of them, so she deliberately distanced herself from them to make them give up. But Si Chengxu didn't think so.
He thought that Li Xiaoxiao liked Gu Feiyan, so her attitude suddenly became cold. Someone needed to tell him at this time, otherwise if it continued like this, everyone in the barracks would be scared to death.
For a long time, Si Chengxu didn't say anything. Si Er was already used to it. This was just his temper. When he was unhappy, he would remain silent and his face would be frighteningly cold.
However, when you encounter a problem, you cannot remain silent. You must find a way to solve the problem.
"Master, I think the little girl doesn't like Gu Feiyan." Si Er didn't care whether Si Chengxu would answer or not, as long as he could hear it.
Si Chengxu was still sitting there, not moving at all, as if he didn't hear anything.
"You are not at home during the day, so you don't know a lot of things. Gu Feiyan hasn't eaten at Si Mansion recently, and the number of times he has seen the little girl is even less."
"According to the servants in our house, the little girl's attitude towards Gu Feiyan is extremely cold, so she doesn't like Gu Feiyan at all." Si Er said to himself while observing Si Chengxu's expression.
Sure enough, when Si Chengxu heard Li Xiaoxiao's attitude towards Gu Feiyan, his eyebrows raised. Even he himself didn't know it, but Si Er saw it clearly.
Then he continued, "I guess the little girl may know your feelings for her and find it difficult to accept it for a while. I believe that she will accept you in time."
Si Er’s words touched Si Chengxu’s heart. Did Xiao Xiao really think so?
Si Chengxu carefully thought about what had happened recently, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Si Er said was possible.
His frown finally relaxed. He closed the military book in his hand and glanced at Si Er who was kneeling in front of the desk.
"Tell me, who is better, me or Gu Feiyan?"
"Of course it's you. I am proficient in both civil and military affairs. How can Gu Feiyan compare to me?" Si Er said it fluently and with certainty.
"Yeah." Si Chengxu hummed lightly. It was obvious that Si Er's words made him feel happy.
"So what do you think we should do next?" Si Chengxu was still quite concerned about this matter.
"Of course it's you who will do it personally. After all, the little girl is a girl. The things girls like are just clothes and jewelry. Oh, of course, the little girl has other interests and hobbies." The hobby he was talking about was naturally Li Xiaoxiao's kung fu.
"What you said makes sense. I won't come to the military camp tomorrow. You just watch here." Since Li Xiaoxiao already knew his thoughts, he had to press on and pursue the victory. He must not let Gu Feiyan take advantage of the opportunity at this time.
"Ah, you're not coming." Si Er's originally excited face immediately fell. Isn't he just looking for trouble? I really want to give myself two big slaps in the face.
"Yeah." Si Chengxu hummed, picked up the military book on the table again and began to read it carefully.
Because Si Chengxu told Si Er that he would not be going to the barracks the next day, he came back early. Although he said he came back early, it was actually already evening.
As soon as he got off the carriage, he saw Li Xiaoxiao's back as she walked into the Si Mansion. Si Chengxu took a few quick steps to catch up with her.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't know that someone was following her. She turned a corner and entered the Si Mansion. Just as Si Chengxu was about to call her, he saw a small figure rushing out from the side of the door and running in front of Li Xiaoxiao.
"Second sister, why did you come back just now? I have been waiting for you here for a long time." The person who came was Li Huawen.
"What are you waiting for me here for?" Li Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"Of course it's a good thing." Li Huawen said, taking out a dagger hidden behind him.
The dagger was obviously an extraordinary item, as it was inlaid with a ruby and carved with intricate patterns.
Li Xiaoxiao reached out to take it, weighed it in his hand, and found it felt comfortable and the dagger was very light overall.
He pulled the short dagger out of the sheath. The moment he pulled it out, a cold light flashed. Li Xiaoxiao fell in love with this dagger at first sight.
"How did it come? Is it for me?" Li Xiaoxiao knew her younger brother. He preferred literature to martial arts and would definitely not like this kind of thing. It must be for her.
"Second sister, you are so smart. You guessed it at once. I sent it to you. This is a good thing." Li Huawen praised Li Xiaoxiao. As long as the second sister likes it, it means he made the right decision.
"You haven't told me who gave it to you yet." Li Xiaoxiao would not be fooled by his few words.
"It was given to her by Brother Gu. You know I don't need it, so I gave it to you." Li Huawen didn't dare to say that it was given to her by Gu Feiyan, otherwise, with her second sister's temper, she would definitely not accept it.
But even if he said that, Li Xiaoxiao still refused it. The dagger was too valuable. Now was a special period. If she accepted it, it would be troublesome if Gu Feiyan misunderstood her.
"Since he gave it to you, you can keep it. I don't need it." Li Xiaoxiao put the dagger back into his hand.
