Sun Shuai was already asleep.
His breathing was even and steady, without any annoying snoring that made it hard to fall asleep.
Like a work of art, a beautiful sculpture.
Qiao Jingjing had thought countless times about just lying down, in front of Brother Sun.
She is Da Qiao, and this is Sun Ce.
It's only natural for them to lie together.
No one will laugh at her.
But Qiao Jingjing stopped herself from having wild thoughts countless times.
She sat on the corner of the bed, covered herself with the blanket to keep warm, hugged herself tightly, curled up, and fell asleep.
When Sun Ce opened his eyes at dawn, he saw Qiao Jingjing, who had slept in that same way for half the night.
His hair was a little messy, but his clothes were very neat.
Sun Ce rose gently.
That subtle movement actually woke her up.
Qiao Jingjing opened her eyes.
It met Sun Ce's eyes perfectly.
Qiao Jingjing only then felt her shoulders go numb and her tailbone hurt from sitting.
Get out of bed quickly.
She stepped past Sun Ce and was the first to land on the ground.
Sun Ce ignored her; she was already someone else! It was a done deal.
After taking the Fire-Patterned Overlord Spear, Sun Ce went out of the room and practiced his morning lessons in the courtyard.
Qiao Jingjing followed her out.
Lu Meng and Ling Tong had been guarding outside the door all night, and they were still in good spirits.
Lu Meng saw Qiao Jingjing again.
"Miss Qiao, I'll have someone fetch some water for you to wash your face."
Qiao Jingjing didn't think anything was wrong, and she said okay.
Qiao Jingjing was standing at the doorway when the morning wind carried the chill of dew, making one want to go back to bed for a nap.
Sun Ce, meanwhile, had been playing around in the courtyard for dozens of rounds with great enthusiasm.
A soldier brought hot water, which Lü Meng personally took and brought into the room for Qiao Jingjing to wash her face.
Qiao Jingjing was washing her face and combing her hair.
Sun Ce retrieved the Fire-Patterned Overlord Spear and returned.
Lu Meng, being very pragmatic, went to fetch another basin of water for washing his face.
While Qiao Jingjing was getting ready, Sun Ce was sitting at his desk, drinking a cup of hot tea.
If Qiao Jingjing hadn't spoken, the atmosphere would indeed have been quite lovely.
"I……
I……
Can I go for a walk?
Sun Ce looked at Qiao Jingjing.
Where would you like to go for a walk?
"I want to go for a walk in the city and see what's going on."
Early in the morning, a cold wind was blowing and the dew was dripping coldly.
"I really just want to get away for a while. You... you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You definitely don't understand how much I love and care for this place."
Sun Ce certainly didn't understand.
A person who loves agriculture personally plants crops, picks mulberry leaves, raises silkworms, fish, and chickens here.
Those who live at the top of the pyramid don't understand the feelings a down-to-earth person has for the land.
Unexpectedly, Sun Ce casually picked up a cloak and handed it to Qiao Jingjing.
Sun Ce took Qiao Jingjing's hand in his, and held an oil-paper umbrella in his other hand.
"Where are you going? I'll go with you."
Lu Meng followed behind, carrying Sun Ce's Fire Pattern Overlord Spear.
Ling Tong wielded a large sword weighing eighty catties.
He was followed by about a hundred soldiers.
Even Sun Yi, who had been kneeling there all night reflecting on his mistakes, heard the news and rushed over early the next morning.
Sun Quan, who got up early, also arrived.
Qiao Jingjing just wanted to go for a walk by herself.
The unexpected grandeur left her feeling bewildered.
Qiao Jingjing walked away silently.
Sun Ce held her hand the whole way and even held an umbrella for her himself.
Her relationship with Sun Ce was now confirmed throughout the city, and she could no longer clear her name.
She really wanted to see these fields and gardens.
I just watched it yesterday.
I still can't bear to part with it.
Sun Ce held her hand and walked with her all the way.
There wasn't much unnecessary talk.
Finally, there is only one sentence:
"As you can see, most of the city is ready to go, it's time to set off."
They set off back to Wu County.
