Shen Changji rarely heard Su Miao call him "General Shen," so hearing it now felt rather novel.
He couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
Today, she is still wearing men's robes, only now they are white brocade robes.
His face was pale and handsome, and his overall demeanor was aloof and otherworldly.
Su Miao's features were already outstanding. When she wore a dress, she was a different kind of delicate beauty, and when she wore men's robes, she was beautiful in yet another way.
Seeing that Shen Changji was staring at her without saying a word, Su Miao couldn't help but ask again, "Is it okay?"
Her eyes sparkled with expectation as she looked at him with an honest expression.
"Of course not!"
Xie Qin's voice soon came from behind.
He was drunk last night, and when he got up this morning, his head still hurt a little.
He was thinking that once he got on the carriage, Su Miao would give him acupuncture, but who knew... as soon as he came out, he heard her saying she was going to Shen Changji's carriage!
The moment Shen Changji was mentioned, Xie Qin suspected that his meeting with him last night was a pretense, a ploy to get him drunk!
Unfortunately, his alcohol tolerance was no match for Chen Changji's, so he could only collapse!
He didn't seem to have done anything wrong. This Shen Changji was really inexplicable. So when he got up this morning, he couldn't help but curse Shen Changji in his heart several times.
Right now, he saw Su Miao ask this old blockhead twice if she could get on his carriage, but the old blockhead didn't give a reply!
He couldn't bear to watch any longer, so he quickened his pace and walked over.
"You are my subordinate, so naturally you will ride in the same carriage as me. Is that right, General Shen?" Xie Qin turned to ask Shen Changji.
"General Shen..."
Su Miao called out softly again.
As Shen Changji looked at her and listened to her soft, delicate voice, he couldn't help but recall the image of her blushing face and her jade-like feet hooking around him.
Her allure made him unable to resist... wanting her.
Shen Changji turned his gaze away, suppressing the surging fire within him, and went straight past Su Miao to get into the carriage.
They disagreed and didn't say anything!
Su Miao frowned and turned to look at the long, silent figure behind her.
This man... really is!
"Look! Never mind him, come on, I have a terrible headache, come up and give me a couple of acupuncture needles! Then we can have some fun like yesterday!"
Xie Qin answered without hesitation.
Upon hearing the word "happy," Shen Changji's eyes darkened, and he couldn't help but glance at the carriage next door.
Su Miao and Xie Qin had already boarded the carriage.
Shen Changji drew the curtains, closed his eyes without hesitation, and continued to rest.
At this moment, Tao'er handed the box in her hand to Lone Eagle, as instructed by Su Miao.
When Lone Eagle saw the box, he instantly understood what was going on.
"For the young master, Miss."
"Understood, understood!"
Lone Eagle took it and quickly walked back.
It seems that what he said last night worked!
That's for sure! My master has always loved steamed egg custard, and it just so happens that this place is remote and there's not much good food, but there are always eggs!
Although Shen Changji didn't directly express his concern that Su Miao wouldn't be used to the food, his actions showed it.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked him to send over a roasted rabbit and a bowl of steamed egg custard!
The lone eagle understood everything.
When he saw the steamed egg custard last night, he couldn't help but tell Miss Tao'er that his master also liked to eat steamed egg custard.
This girl, Peach, certainly has a good eye!
As the carriage was preparing to depart, Chen Changji disembarked.
Taking advantage of the situation, Lone Eagle quickly seized the opportunity and put the steamed egg custard into the silent carriage.
By the time Shen Changji returned, the carriage had already begun its journey.
Sitting silently in the main seat, he faintly smelled a familiar fragrance and couldn't help but open his eyes.
Meanwhile, Xie Qin and Su Miao's voices could be heard coming from the carriage next door.
"Ah... gently... um... gently... ah!"
"So good...so good...hiss, a little gentler...mmm"
"I've been gentle enough. Just bear with it a little longer, it'll be over soon."
"Ugh..."
One sound after another, the tone and voice of which made one think of something else entirely.
He frowned, looking displeased at the room next door.
"Master, are you hungry?"
Hearing the commotion inside the carriage, Lone Eagle spoke up at just the right moment, asking Chen Changji.
Hungry?
Shen Changji's expression darkened further.
However, the sound of the carriage next door did not stop, every word reaching Chen Changji's ears.
Seeing that Shen Changji remained silent, Lone Eagle then said very considerately, "There is food on the table. Master can use it if he is hungry."
His brows were furrowed with gloom, his dark eyes darted about, and his jawline was taut, exuding a dangerous aura.
He turned his head and looked at the small box on the table.
He wasn't a pretentious person, and his food didn't need to be so refined.
Shen Changji reached out and took the box. As soon as he opened it, a bowl of steamed egg custard came into view.
Because it was served in a food container, the steamed egg custard was still steaming and smelled delicious.
Shen Changji looked at the object in his hand; it seemed that Su Miao had been holding this very box just before getting into the carriage…
He didn't think too much about it at the time.
But he didn't expect that what she was holding was prepared for him.
Just then, Su Miao finished acupuncture on Xie Qin, and the carriage slowly came to a stop.
She knew this was a break.
Although she didn't get off the carriage, she couldn't help but glance at the room next door.
I wonder...did that man eat it...?
He probably ate it. After all, it was delivered by Lone Eagle, so he probably didn't think too much about it and just treated it as ordinary food.
Su Miao thought about it, but still couldn't help getting off the carriage.
As soon as she came down, her eyes met Shen Changji's.
"Come up."
Shen Changji looked at Su Miao, his voice flat and devoid of emotion.
"Shall we ride together with General Shen?"
Su Miao's eyebrows arched, and her voice carried a hint of excitement.
"If you don't understand what I'm saying, then forget it."
He uttered a single sentence in silence, then turned and boarded the carriage.
Su Miao smiled and quickly followed.
As soon as she stepped forward, the man's strong hand grabbed her wrist and pulled her back inside...
