Xiao Jinglin was startled and tried to push Yun Wenting away, but Yun Wenting grabbed Xiao Jinglin's waist and shouted helplessly, "Lin'er, stop it! Someone might die!"
Xiao Jinglin gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice: "Get out!"
Yun Wenting was silent for a moment, then said, "You've scared my horse away. This is in the wilderness. Even if we want to go down, we have to wait until we reach the next town."
Xiao Jinglin said coldly: "If you don't go down, don't blame me for being rude!" As he said that, he was about to take action.
Yun Wenting said, "Lin'er, if you keep making trouble, I'll kick this horse. I don't mind walking with you to Jiajing Pass."
Xiao Jinglin was stunned, as if she couldn't believe that Yun Wenting would say such shameless words.
Xiao Jinglin had known Yun Wenting for over a decade. While Yun Wenting wasn't exactly obedient, he always went along with her in everything. He was even more attentive to manners and etiquette than a girl like her. But today, Yun Wenting felt unfamiliar to Xiao Jinglin. Whether it was the way he insisted on following her, the way he rode with her, or even the way he threatened her.
When they were young, the two were together for several years and were almost inseparable, but even at that time, Yun Wenting would pay attention to the differences between men and women and would not do anything that inappropriate.
At the time, Xiao Jinglin was in love with Yun Wenting and was racking her brains over how to express her feelings and convince him to become her horse. Recalling the sight of men and women from outside the Great Wall riding together, Xiao Jinglin yearned for the sight. So, she arranged a ride with Yun Wenting out of the city, then deliberately let her horse run away while Yun Wenting was picking wild fruit for her.
The young Princess Xiao said solemnly to the handsome young man who had returned with the wild fruits, "Cousin, my horse got frightened and ran away. Please take me back."
The handsome young man quickly went forward to check on her and found she was not injured. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing that she was not seriously injured, and let her get on his horse, and then...
That’s all.
The well-behaved boy Yun Wenting let Xiao Jinglin ride the horse, and he led the horse all the way back.
Princess Xiao, who failed to express her feelings, had a cold face for three days in a row, and kicked a big tree outside the Guanxi Gate of Jiajing City, which eventually grew into a crooked tree.
The princess always complained that her daughter hadn't become sensible even though she was so grown up. In fact, the princess really misunderstood Xiao Jinglin. Xiao Jinglin grew up in a border area with a tough folk customs. She knew from a young age that she should follow her heart in matters of the heart. So Xiao Jinglin was not sensible but she became sensible too early.
Xiao Jinglin's thoughts drifted away and he forgot to struggle.
Yun Wenting gently put his arms around Xiao Jinglin from behind, but his arms couldn't help but tremble.
After Xiao Jinglin came to her senses, she stopped struggling. She said calmly, "Let me go and sit still. You're shaking so hard that I can hardly hold the reins."
Yun Wenting: “…”
Exposing people's shortcomings and slapping them in the face is what Princess Xiao has always insisted on and implemented.
Yun Wenting loosened his hands a little, but did not let go completely. His hands were still lightly supporting Xiao Jinglin's waist.
"I won't be returning to Jiajingguan for the time being. Once we reach Da'an City ahead, you can find a horse to go back by yourself."
Xiao Jinglin no longer cared about Yun Wenting. Although Yun Wenting's closeness made her feel a little awkward, it was not unbearable. She had fought with men before, and there had been physical contact.
Yun Wenting asked, "Where are you going?"
The breath of his voice was just behind Xiao Jinglin's ear. Xiao Jinglin felt so itchy that she wanted to shrink her neck, but she still held back.
"This is military affairs, I can't tell you." Xiao Jinglin said coldly.
Yun Wenting didn't care and just whispered, "Then I'll go with you. My skills are still there and I can always help you."
