Tianyun glanced at it once and then looked away without much interest, suppressing her original thought of traveling with it.
Who knew the mountain wouldn't come to me, so I went to the mountain.
Two days passed like this, and on the night of the third day...
The area was deserted, so Tianyun and her companions could only rest for the night near the caravan.
It had just rained, and the ground was soft and damp, making it difficult to wash clothes that got wet. Tianyun Liuye frowned, unable to sit down.
She had spent the last two days on horseback and in the fields, and had not bathed for two days. She was nearing her breaking point and could no longer bear to get her clothes dirty.
The handsome young master had been observing Tianyun for a long time. Although her face was covered by a veil, it could not hide her graceful figure. Seeing her coy and charming appearance, he knew that she was a person of taste, so he wanted to invite her to sit down in the tent.
"girl……"
He spoke with an air of elegance, but before he could finish his call, the delicate girl looked away and suddenly said to him, "Young master, could you spare me two apples? I can buy them with silver."
The young master raised his eyebrows in surprise, seemingly not expecting her to bring this up, but he still readily agreed.
"Of course."
For the past two days, Tianyun had been eating dry rations that were hard to swallow, and he really wanted something more palatable.
She smiled and thanked the young man, "Thank you, sir. My husband loves to eat those Sterculia foetida fruits the most."
The young master couldn't see her smile beneath the veil, but he could hear the joy in her voice and the overflowing love she had for her husband.
The young master was taken aback. He had thought that her husband always covered his face with a mask because he was extremely ugly and she disliked him. He hadn't expected that she was so considerate of her husband!
In that case, he couldn't very well try to steal someone else's girlfriend, so he could only leave dejectedly.
Shi Que was grazing his horse not far away, but he had been keeping a close eye on her every move. Seeing her being harassed by that frivolous young man, he quickly rushed back to her side and asked, "He tried to take liberties with you?!"
Tianyun's face darkened, and she said with a hint of reproach, "Don't talk nonsense, nothing like that happened." Then she asked her, "Where are we sleeping tonight? We're not going to sleep in the tree again like the last two days, are we?"
Tianyun blinked in surprise and uncertainty. For the past two days, Shi Que had been holding her as they slept on the tree trunk, making her constantly afraid that a bolt of lightning would strike them in the middle of the night!
It's all because we left in such a rush; we weren't prepared for anything.
The tree trunk was hard and cold, and the girl had been sleeping in it for two days, which made Shi Que feel very sorry for her. But there was no better way at the moment, so he could only comfort her softly: "Hold on for one more night, and we will reach Huaiyang County tomorrow. Then you will be able to sleep peacefully."
After Shi Que finished speaking, he stared intently at her reaction. If the girl got angry, he would endure it; if she still refused, he would have to lay out another set of clean clothes on the ground for her to sleep in.
However, there is a drawback to this: he has to stay by the girl's side all night and can't close his eyes.
Fortunately, she saw the girl wave her hand dismissively, her voice soft and casual, "Then I'll sleep on the tree trunk."
Shi Que's heart, which had been in her throat, instantly returned to normal, and she smiled silently.
