Chapter 200 But at this moment, she clearly felt that something was different in her heart.
Seeing this, Xie Huaian immediately changed direction and let the horse move towards a place with shelter.
Find a rock to hide under and take shelter for a while.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and even the vision became blurred. The three little donkeys were soaked and looked quite miserable.
Before Ruan Mian could make a move, Xie Huaian decisively took off his cloak and covered her with it, and then unloaded the cargo on the donkey under the rocks without hesitation.
He didn't care at all that he was soaked by the rain.
Ruan Mian saw this and immediately stepped forward to help, but he held his hand: "I can do it, don't catch a cold, go sit over there and wait for me."
She wanted to speak again, but Xie Huaian didn't give her the chance. He unloaded all the things by himself and then lined up the little donkeys.
Looking at Xie Huaian who was busy running around but didn't let himself get wet, Ruan Mian's heart was like boiling water.
Previously, she had only thought that Lord Song was a good man. In the original book, he was the hero who turned the tide and fought against King Huai's faction single-handedly.
It’s a pity that she didn’t read the later part of the book, so she wasn’t quite sure what the ending was.
Even after arriving at Wu Heng and their interactions, Ruan Mian did not develop any other feelings towards him.
But at this moment, she clearly felt that something was different in her heart.
When I think that he will leave here and leave me one day, I feel an uncontrollable reluctance in my heart.
Seeing that he was soaked from head to toe, she quickly took off her cloak, went to the basket and took out a set of clean clothes and handed it to him.
"I'm going to make a fire. We can't leave for a while. Fortunately, this rock is big enough."
Otherwise they would all be soaked.
Xie Huaian took the clothes and without any hesitation, turned his back and changed into clean clothes.
Ruan Mian was suddenly shocked when she saw his strong and even figure, and her face immediately became hot.
She lowered her head and picked up all the branches and waste firewood under the rocks. While Xie Huaian was not paying attention, she took some firewood from the space.
After the flames started, she placed Xie Huaian's wet clothes on a stone nearby to dry.
The rain was pouring down, and I couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
After some thought, Ruan Mian couldn't help but ask him, "Sir, when do you plan to return to Kyoto?"
Xie Huaian met her gaze, his eyebrows twitching slightly as he said teasingly, "You want to kick me out so soon?"
"No way."
Ruan Mian laughed: "That's not what I meant. I just want to be mentally prepared."
Instead of just leaving as soon as she said she would. To this, Xie Huaian joked, "It seems Mian Mian can't bear to leave me."
Ruan Mian paused, feeling that he couldn't win the argument with anyone: "Whatever the Master says is what shall be done."
Seeing that she gave up so quickly, Xie Huaian stopped teasing her and said calmly.
"Not so soon. I've been demoted to this point. Once Wu Heng is stable, I will still return to Longchang Post Station to be the stationmaster."
"Going back to Longchang Post Station?"
"That's right. It's not too far from the valley. Mianmian has your own special mount, so it won't take long to get there and back. We can still see each other often, but it will be troublesome for you to run back and forth. Are you willing?"
Hearing this, Ruan Mian was stunned for a moment. She obviously didn't expect that he actually knew that she had a special mount?! When did she see it?
But before she could ask, Xie Huaian seemed to guess what she was thinking and smiled.
"Mianmian doesn't like me asking too many questions, so I won't ask anything. It's not too late to tell me when you want to."
He gave a gentle smile with understanding, and his angular features looked even gentler in the firelight.
Ruan Mian smiled sincerely, feeling grateful in his heart.
He turned around to get the basket and checked the two baskets of silk cocoons collected inside. He looked a little worried: "It seems to be a little wet. Will this have any impact?"
Ruan Mian shook his head in relief: "It's okay, it won't affect anything."
Even if he got completely soaked, she had a way to deal with it. But she would feel bad if he got wet and caught a cold.
The clothes they brought were not thick enough, and Ruan Mian was worried that he would catch a cold, so he pulled her to lean against the rock fire and sat down next to him.
Xie Huaian was a little surprised. After feeling the warmth of her body, he carefully held her hand. The gradually rising temperature seemed to flow through her blood throughout her body.
At this moment, even the heavy rain outside could not hide the sound of her heartbeat.
The two of them leaned on each other for the whole night. She didn't know when the rain stopped, and when she woke up, it was already the next morning.
The rosy clouds were so bright that I couldn’t open my eyes for a moment.
"Awake?" Before Ruan Mian was fully awake, he had already led her out from under the rocks.
"Just woke up, take a look."
All I saw before my eyes was a magnificent morning glow. After a whole night of heavy rain, the entire sky became extremely clear.
And those layers of morning glow, in the golden morning sunlight, sparkled like floating light and leaping gold.
The sky and the sky are connected, as if everything in the world has entered this beautiful painting.
Ruan Mian's heart also suddenly became clear, and an indescribable feeling suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Xie Huaian's tall figure, standing with his hands behind his back, looked like a sturdy pine tree beside him.
At this moment, the image of the elegant and righteous gentleman in the book took shape.
Just as she was lost in thought, the sound of the little donkey interrupted her thoughts.
Turning around, he found that the donkey had broken free from the basket and ran out from under the rocks.
However, it did not run away, but ran in front of the two people, wagging its tail and jumping in front, as if it was also calling out for this rare morning glow.
…
It was several hours later when we returned to the familiar valley.
After being in Tunan City for nearly half a month, the crops in the valley seemed to be growing more lush, and the small garden outside the house was well-maintained by Zhang.
Not to mention the cornfield next to it, the corn stalks are taller than a person.
Zhang was currently fertilizing the cornfield with her sleeves rolled up, her hair neatly wrapped in a bun. She recalled that before her exile, she had also been a lady in the mansion, a woman who had never had to do housework.
Now she has also joined the team of peasant women, but fortunately she never complains, and even feels that this kind of life is what she longs for.
Finding your own value, having something to do every day, family members taking care of each other and being together forever, this kind of exile is also a blessing in disguise!
At this moment, Ruan Mian called out "Mom". Zhang heard the voice and looked over. Seeing that the couple had returned, she hurried to them. She was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
"Mianmian! Huai'an, you're finally back!!"
She was so worried every day that she couldn't even get a good night's sleep.
Now that I see that the two of them are safe and sound, the stone hanging in my chest can finally fall!
