Fu Ciyi then pulled her to sit down.
Yan Funing couldn't break free at all, and could only watch her hand and his fingers intertwined together.
Not only that, he pressed her palm and pressed her hand on his thigh.
Uncomfortable, very uncomfortable.
Whenever she moved, he would use force with his knuckles.
He was as domineering as what was written in the book. Whenever she pretended to be unwell in the villa, he would always expose her.
The guy in the book has no mercy on women at all and makes people unable to get out of bed.
Thinking of this, she simply stopped moving.
Occasionally, a couple would whisper to each other in the carriage, but it was quiet despite being crowded.
Yan Funing and Fu Ciyi also had nothing to say.
He let go of her hand only after the car had gone some distance.
Yan Funing hurriedly put both hands into her sleeves, and this action caught Fu Ciyi's attention.
His brows moved slightly, he straightened his robe, and sat calmly.
Half a day passed.
Passing through Ling County, the car happened to pass by the Qingshan Town market, so Fu Ciyi and Yan Funing got off the car.
They set out in the morning, and it was already afternoon. There were no oxcarts in the town returning to the village, so the two had to walk.
Yan Funing finally uttered the words she had been holding back all this time: "Fu Ciyi, hold my hand!"
Fu Ciyi: "No need to thank me."
Yan Funing was shocked: "What?"
"There are many men in the car. If I don't pull you in, guess what will happen?"
"But there's no need for you to clasp your fingers with mine, right?" She threw the bag over her shoulder and clasped her hands together. "Only close friends would do that, Fu Ciyi, do you understand?"
The man's deep eyes shone with a faint light, and he asked coldly, "We've been sleeping in the same bed for over a month, and we slept in the same quilt last night. Isn't our relationship close enough?"
Yan Funing was choked by his question.
Fu Ciyi added, "If you feel I'm taking advantage of you and want to hit or stab me, go ahead!"
He changed his hand to hold the orange and put the hand that pulled her under her eyelids.
Yan Funing slapped him on the back of his hand without any hesitation.
But after hitting him, he felt that he was wrong and whispered, "I was mean-spirited. Fu Ciyi, I apologize to you."
Although the hit was not severe, it was still her who hit him.
To Fu Ciyi, it was like a cat scratch and didn't hurt at all.
"It's okay, I didn't discuss it with you beforehand."
He grabbed her hand initially to show it to the man in the car, but she broke free and somehow he shook hers.
The reason for this is probably because she was too soft-hearted.
I played all night last night and still felt unsatisfied.
Fu Ciyi clenched his fist.
Her hands and arms were soft, and even when she did a horse stance, her legs would shake.
Then on her...
Suddenly, Yan Funing asked, "Tomorrow, February 14th, when do you plan to show the letter to Fu Zhengqing?"
Her question pulled Fu Ciyi out of his thoughts.
"It would be unreasonable to ask the students for another day off. Anyway, I have a letter from the prefect, so it won't be too late to go to the county town on February 19th."
"That makes sense. Then let's go to the county in five days." She turned sideways and looked up at him. "I want to go see Caiyu. Can you take me with you when you go?"
Her voice was soft, just like her hand, and Fu Ciyi's throat tightened when she heard it: "Okay."
"OK."
Yan Funing became happy and forgot the discomfort of holding hands in the blink of an eye.
On the way home, Fu Ciyi walked slowly, so she would circle around him from time to time.
He didn't say anything, but she kept talking.
"Fu Ciyi, I never thought that the old man was the prefect. I always say that good people will be rewarded."
"We can get a big bag of oranges in exchange for one sour orange."
"The prefect must be a good official. Even though his runners make fun of us, the difference between them and Fu Zhengqing's guards is..."
"Oh, and since the old man is the prefect, who is the mysterious young man in the house in our town?"
"The prefect treated him with great respect, and he was from the capital, so he must be of some importance."
"Fu Ciyi, what do you think that person's identity is?"
Fu Ciyi then spoke up, "That man is probably living in seclusion here. I guess he doesn't want others to know his identity."
"He appears to be in seclusion, but he's actually recuperating." Yan Funing speculated, "Our Qingshan Town is beautiful with clear waters and fresh air. He coughs frequently, so he chose this place."
Fu Ciyi moved his hands and back bones: "Since that person is hiding his identity, don't deliberately try to find out his details."
"I know. I'm only interested in the medical books in his house. I won't try to find out his identity."
He asked, "Are you longing for the capital?"
Yan Funing nodded honestly: "Yes, I want to go to the capital to take a look."
If you travel back to ancient times, you must see the prosperity of the capital.
Fu Ciyi stopped, pinched her arm, and stared at her with his bright eyes.
She blinked her watery eyes: "Fu Ciyi, why are you looking at me like that?"
"There will be a chance to go to the capital."
--
The two of them talked as they walked, and when they got home, it was already sunset.
When Fu Beimo saw his brother and sister-in-law coming back, he shouted happily, "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law are back!"
When everyone heard this, they rushed to the courtyard to greet him.
Yan Funing called out "mother".
Wan Niang responded with relief, gently touched her daughter-in-law's face, and patted her eldest son's arm: "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"
But she was so worried that she didn't sleep well last night.
Fu Ciyi looked at Li Xinheng: "How is things at home?"
Li Xinheng said, "Everything is fine at home, except that the Hu family came to check on us several times last evening and this morning."
Ali also said: "With Brother Li here, the Hu family dare not move."
