The group left the city.
Qing Wu led the way, with the convoy following not far behind. After she rode for a few miles, her buttocks became numb from the shaking.
When she took a look at the carriages and horses behind her, she gritted her teeth and decided not to move forward and just waited where she was.
After a while, the convoy stopped.
Qing Wu got off the horse in a huff. Her walking posture was a bit strange and it felt like her thighs were being rubbed.
Hong Rui hurried over to support her, while Qing Wu stared at her complainingly, "Little traitor."
Hong Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and explained, "I thought the princess knew that the prince wanted to go with her."
"I'm angry. I'll give you and Luqiao half a day to discuss and think about how to coax me." Qing Wu said proudly and arrogantly.
Hong Rui burst out laughing and nodded repeatedly: "Tutututut, Princess, please get on the carriage and rest."
Just as Qing Wu stepped on the shaft of the cart, she saw a man running towards her. It was him whose horse had been robbed and he could only follow Baisui with his legs swinging.
Seeing Baisui's rosy baby face, Qing Wu was immediately happy: "You don't have enough energy. You've only run this short distance, and you're out of breath. Keep practicing."
Baisui was stunned. When did he catch his breath? Besides, if you hadn't robbed the horse, would I have to run away on my legs?
However, no one paid attention to Baisui's accusing look.
As soon as she entered the carriage, Qing Wu smelled a faint scent of ink, which came from the book in the man's hand.
Xiao Chenyan was wearing a long cloak and a black robe with narrow sleeves. A suede belt showed off his slender and powerful waist. His long hair was tied up, a little like the way people in the north braid it behind his head.
He was less cold and stern than before, and seemed to be closer, especially without the evil spirit corroding him, his handsome face had more color than usual.
Xiao Chenyan has a dark complexion, with his facial features and eyes all having a sense of dark color, and his pair of phoenix eyes are even more beautiful.
He was holding a military book in his hand and reading it. When he saw Qing Wu coming up, he just raised his eyes slightly and then looked away.
Qing Wu was sitting opposite him. She felt that his pretentiousness was really annoying, so she kicked him in the calf.
As soon as he raised his hoof, his ankle was grabbed.
Xiao Chenyan put down the military book and looked at her meaningfully: "Didn't you kick enough last night?"
"When was it last night?" Qing Wu paused and smiled triumphantly, "Did I kick you off the bed again last night?"
Xiao Chenyan threw her feet away, brushed off the non-existent dust on his robe, and glanced at her: "You are quite proud."
Qing Wu snorted, and glared at him with her beautiful eyes: "I didn't mean it, stingy guy, you still want to go to Chuyun Temple but didn't tell me."
"You want to see me suffer on horseback, don't you? Xiao Chenyan, you are so cold-hearted and heartless."
"I was so worried last night. If I wasn't here, someone would suffer from the evil spirit. All my sincerity was gone... um..."
A piece of dessert directly blocked her mouth.
Qing Wu glared at people with a reproachful look while chewing.
After she swallowed it and was about to speak, a cup of hot tea was handed to her.
The man looked at her with a half-smile: "If you don't eat enough, how can you have the energy to continue chanting?"
Qing Wu took the tea, took a sip, and grumbled at him, smiling sarcastically: "Do you find me annoying?"
Xiao Chenyan put away the military book, met her provocative look, and said, "I dare not, little nun."
"you--"
The half cup of tea in her hand affected her movements, so Qing Wu drank it in one gulp and prepared to roll up her sleeves to give Xiao Chenyan a good beating.
I never thought the tea was too hot.
"Hiss...ah, it's hot, it's hot." She couldn't spit it out because of the burn, so she could only swallow it. The burning sensation slid from the root of her tongue through her throat and down to her stomach. Her entire chest felt like it was burning, and her eyes welled up with physiological tears.
Oh boy, Qing Wu herself was shocked.
When I was a ghost, I could take a bath in the lava hell without batting an eyelid, but in the human world I could be scalded to tears by half a cup of hot tea.
This body is just that of a fragile little newbie.
The next moment, her cheeks were pinched and she met the man's cold eyes.
Xiao Chenyan frowned, his eyes tinged with anger, "Open your mouth."
The burning feeling in her heart had subsided a lot, and Qing Wu stared at him blankly.
Seeing her wet eyes and reddened corners, Xiao Chenyan looked so pitiful that he could not help but feel sympathy for her. He loosened his grip and softened his tone:
"Open your mouth, let me see if you're burned."
"No……"
"Listen."
Qing Wu's mouth corners drooped, and she opened her mouth reluctantly and awkwardly.
Xiao Chenyan glanced at her helplessly: "Open wider."
Qing Wu wanted to show him a 'bloody mouth' and opened her mouth as wide as possible, but it had little frightening effect and was rather funny.
The man's eyes were focused and his brows were tightly furrowed. He didn't have the slightest intention of taking the opportunity to ridicule her.
Qing Wu suddenly felt a chill on the tip of her tongue and her body trembled.
The man's fingertips were slightly cool, and they lightly touched the tip of her tongue. Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes, covering his deep gaze. He felt the touch unconsciously just now, and a shudder ran down the back of his hand.
The woman's soft and fragrant tongue was gently pressed by his fingertips, and her soft red lips were close at hand. This scene was inexplicably charming, and the red lips that were burned seemed like an alluring beauty that was begging him to pick them.
"It's still a little burnt, I need some medicine."
Xiao Chenyan gave an order to the outside.
Not long after, Hongrui handed in a small box of burn medicine.
"Open your mouth, I'll give you some medicine."
Qing Wu looked resistive.
Xiao Chenyan opened the lid of the box. It was a box of grass-colored ointment that smelled refreshing.
When he saw Qing Wu's expression, he knew what she was thinking.
“Not bitter.”
"You know it again?" Qing Wu didn't believe it. This man's sense of taste might have only returned to normal in the past two days!
Xiao Chenyan lowered his eyes and rubbed his fingertips on the ointment, using the temperature to dissolve the solid ointment a little, and said softly: "When I was young, I knew a stupid kid who liked to eat hot food. He didn't care what went into his mouth and often burned himself with blisters."
Qing Wu: “…”
Last time you called me an ungrateful kid, and now you’re calling me a stupid kid again, right?
She didn't want to open her mouth because she recognized the ointment.
It's not bitter! This thing smells cool, but it's actually made from Coptis chinensis!
When Xiao Chenyan saw her sawed-off gourd-like appearance, he felt a little angry and amused.
It really is... a lot like that little bean!
"Open your mouth, can you apply the medicine faster, or do you want to drink only water for the next few days?"
"You're just fooling me," Qing Wu muttered, "This crappy ointment looks so bitter."
Although she was mumbling, she still opened her mouth reluctantly and let Xiao Chenyan help her apply medicine.
The man had long fingers, his nails were trimmed, round and clean, and stained with light green herbal ointment, which looked like white jade mixed with green jade, which was very eye-catching.
Qing Wu opened her mouth obediently, but Xiao Chenyan felt inexplicably tingling on his scalp.
He suppressed the strangeness in his heart, gently pinched her chin with his left hand, dipped his right index finger in the ointment and gently applied it on the tip and sides of her tongue.
The itch made Qing Wu restless and she rubbed slightly. The tip of her tongue unconsciously swept across the tip of his finger, causing him to shudder.
"Don't move." The man's voice sank.
Qing Wu straightened her neck, and there was a hint of moisture in her eyes.
Xiao Chenyan took a deep breath without leaving any trace, and there was some sweat on his back. He calmed down and said, "My throat is also a little burned, so it may be a little uncomfortable. Just bear with it."
Qing Wu frowned and snorted with a pitiful and stingy tone.
Xiao Chenyan glanced at her and became more cautious in his movements.
The throat was a sensitive and dangerous area, and the man's slender fingers easily penetrated it. The cool ointment, tinged with the temperature of his fingertips, was applied to the throat. Perhaps because he was too careful, it aggravated the itchiness.
Qing Wu tried to bear it, but couldn't bear it any longer, so she leaned back subconsciously, pressed the tip of her tongue against his fingers, and her pearly teeth unconsciously bit the other's knuckles.
The four eyes met.
Xiao Chenyan felt the numbness between his fingers. He pulled his hand out with a normal expression, sat back in his original position, took out a handkerchief and wiped his fingertips, but the soft touch still lingered on his fingertips.
A strange feeling invaded my skin and flesh, running around my body uncontrollably.
Qing Wu spit twice and swallowed subconsciously. Unable to taste the bitterness, she said, "Why did this medicine become sweet? Before..."
"Before what?"
Xiao Chenyan raised his eyes, his gaze fixed on her.
He specially had this medicine developed by someone, and only one person has used it. How could she...
