Xiao En was still quiet Si Lili was also quiet, and gradually looked increasingly thin and pallid
Fan Xian looked coldly at the two escorted prisoners, unsure what he was feeling Over their days together, for some reason, he had developed pity for Si Lili Firstly, he pitied her lot in life, and secondly, he pitied her fate But Fan Xian trusted his oillpower He would not save a little only to lose a lot If so really happened between hireat problems for the Overwatch Council's plans in Northern Qi
He didn't kno the young Ein But if he were to discover that Si Lili had already lost her virginity, then Operation Red Sleeve would be of no use at all
