When he led the troops back to the capital from Lingnan, Wei Min accompanied him all the way, and the two became more and more familiar with each other.
Looking at Wei Min's long hair tied up high and the long sword at her waist, she had a heroic spirit that was not common among the children in Beijing. Gu Yun's voice softened unconsciously: "If you want to follow me, then follow me. There is only one rule: you are not allowed to disguise yourself as a soldier and sneak onto the battlefield again."
Wei Min decided to stop while he was ahead, and agreed with a smile and a wink: "I will be obedient and I will not let you take the punishment of the military stick for me again."
Gu Yun caught a glimpse of her brilliant and cunning smile, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Suddenly, he thought of the rumors in Kyoto after returning to Beijing this time. Gu Yun restrained his expression, squeezed his horse's belly and moved closer to Wei Min, and said to her: "You... Do your father and mother know that you are going to Xianyang with me?"
Wei Min turned his head to look at him, his pupils fixed on the expression on Gu Yun's face.
Gu Yun was startled by her gaze and cleared his throat uncomfortably: "Why are you looking at me?"
Wei Min smiled carefreely, her black eyes were clear and slightly curved, and she said in a good mood: "I won't tell you."
The warm sunshine of late autumn shone on her body, making her feel somewhat cozy. She suddenly realized that Gu Yun had actually begun to care about her.
"Then did Lord Wei and Madam Wei know that you came out this time?" Gu Yun said softly, "If you didn't tell Lord Wei and them, I'll send someone to the Wei Mansion to deliver a letter to inform them, so that they can rest assured."
Wei Min looked at his handsome and flamboyant face under the warm sun, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of her lips again. Does this mean that she has finally seen the light?
After chasing Gu Yun for so long, she finally waited for this day. He began to see her and cared about her, which made her parents feel at ease.
Wei Min had a slightly sour yet extremely satisfying feeling in his heart, like a child who knew that the sugar jar was locked in a cupboard, out of reach, but suddenly one day, he was caught off guard and tasted the sweetness.
It seemed that he finally saw her sincere heart.
Wei Min lowered her head slightly. It was hard for her to be unhappy.
She shamelessly followed Gu Yun all day long, like a little tail that could not be shaken off, quite shameless. The aristocratic families in Kyoto attached great importance to rules and etiquette. Wei Min had heard about the unpleasant things that were said about her behind her back, but compared with Gu Yun, these were nothing at all, and those rumors could not hurt her at all.
Life is full of gains and losses, and it is impossible to be perfect.
She would be happy when she followed Gu Yun and chased his footsteps. As for what others said, she didn't care at all.
"Gu Yun, how are you going to send someone to tell my father and mother? How can we reassure them?" Wei Min asked deliberately, but he couldn't hide the smile in the corner of his eyes.
She was very lucky. Although her father had a headache because of her affairs, they were the best parents in the world. Knowing that she liked Gu Yun, she went to Annan Marquis' Mansion to discuss marriage. She caused rumors and ruined her reputation. Her parents blamed her verbally, but they did not feel ashamed to marry her off hastily. They turned a blind eye and allowed her to find Gu Yun.
Gu Yun inexplicably felt annoyed by her smile. He awkwardly touched the mane on the horse's neck and said frankly: "Tell them that you went to Xianyang with me. I will protect you."
Wei Min looked at Gu Yun with sparkling eyes and blushed slightly.
She rubbed the whip in her palm, looked at the sunlight hanging high in the sky, and suddenly she felt endless courage.
"Gu Yun." She turned her head to look at him and said firmly, "Then don't bother me. I will follow you wherever you go in the future."
Caught off guard by being called by his name and hearing the hidden meaning in Wei Min's words, Gu Yun touched his nose and whispered after a long while, "I don't find you annoying." Then he rode his horse past Wei Min and ran to the front.
Wei Min looked at his upright figure riding on the horse and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Was this a response to her last sentence, "I know you find me annoying"? Although it was a little late, Wei Min felt that it seemed just right at this moment.
She had liked this man since she was a teenager, and had fantasized countless times about riding horses side by side with him, and it seemed like it would really come true.
"Wait for me." Wei Min gripped the reins tightly, whipped the horse and chased after him.
The rest of her life is long, and she will always run towards him unwaveringly.
Whether it is the snakes and insects everywhere and the miasma in Lingnan; or the yellow sand all over the sky and the desolate desolation in Mobei; or the rugged mountain roads in the distance and the long road ahead.
She would keep looking at him and run towards him with confidence.
