Chapter 64
Cai Yuezhao raised her watery eyes and looked at him: "I'm going out for a while. I want to visit my father on the way. I won't be returning to Beijing with you."
"Coming back to the capital from Lingnan, you call a stop at Shujun a detour?" Yu Xiao sneered, his slender finger gently poking her smooth forehead. "Ah Zhao, from childhood to adulthood, you can't even lie, do you know that?"
Cai Yuezhao's head tilted back after being poked. She gritted her teeth secretly, and a nameless anger rose in her chest.
They have been together since childhood, experienced life and death, and their friendship is extraordinary.
She originally thought that after this separation, the mountains would be high and the rivers would be long, and she didn't know what the situation would be like when they met again. She planned to say goodbye to him properly, and to fulfill the friendship they had shared as childhood sweethearts over the years.
But this damn man just can't talk properly. He always treats her like a child and touches her.
The sadness and longing that had been lingering in my heart just now were all dispelled by the poke of his finger.
She clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves and, with great effort, barely suppressed the urge to punch his handsome face.
She stood up suddenly, stomping her embroidered shoes heavily on the carriage floor, and turned to leave: "Goodbye."
Seeing that the girl was about to leave without saying a word, Yu Xiao's eyes darkened. He reached out and grabbed her slender wrist, pushing her back onto the chair opposite with just the right amount of force.
Cai Yuezhao was furious and reached out to pry his hands apart, trying to push him away.
Yu Xiao suddenly let go and instead grabbed the back of her neck, his palm against her warm skin, and pressed her whole body against the car wall. The car shook slightly, and a corner of the curtain was slightly shaken.
Cai Yuezhao raised her leg to kick, but Yu Xiao had already predicted her movement. He pressed down her leg with his knee, and followed with his other leg, holding her legs firmly.
Cai Yuezhao swung his arms.
With a crisp "pa" sound, Cai Yuezhao's slap with some force hit Yu Xiao's face, causing Yu Xiao to turn his head slightly.
…
The two of them muttered in silence for a long time, and finally stopped at this moment.
In the cramped carriage, the two people's breathing intertwined, their eyes met, and they both felt the temperature in the carriage rising.
Cai Yuezhao suddenly felt his palms getting hot, and the fingers that had just slapped him curled up unconsciously. He turned his head away guiltily, not daring to look at Yu Xiao's handsome face which was flushed.
Yu Xiao felt a burning pain on his cheek. He pressed his tongue against his cheek and chuckled, "Have you had enough?"
Cai Yuezhao didn't say anything.
Yu Xiao squeezed her neck a little harder with his fingers.
The force on the back of his neck suddenly intensified, forcing Cai Yuezhao to turn his gaze back, only to meet Yu Xiao's deep eyes. "Can you speak properly now?"
Cai Yuezhao felt his heart pounding, and nodded almost imperceptibly: "Yeah."
Yu Xiao suddenly leaned closer: "You wanted to learn how to cook before, were you thinking of cooking for me in the future?"
Cai Yuezhao's ears started to burn, but he admitted frankly, "Yes."
Yu Xiao smiled suddenly, his eyes curled up in a beautiful arc, and his voice became softer: "Then why don't you want to learn again? It's been so long, I see you following Miss Meng around in the kitchen every day, how come you haven't even cooked a single dish?"
Cai Yuezhao blushed guiltily: "I haven't learned it yet."
Yu Xiao sneered and exposed her mercilessly: "You are only concerned about your own greed."
"What do you care?" Cai Yuezhao was so angry that he raised his hand to hit him again, but when he saw his face still covered with red fingerprints, he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Her hand paused in the air, then she retracted it and said guiltily, "Brother Xiao, I must have hurt you."
I wanted to separate them properly, but I don't know how it turned out like this.
Yu Xiao laughed: "Under the hands of our A Zhao heroine, this little pain is nothing to worry about."
Cai Yuezhao glared at him.
Yu Xiao released his hand that was clasping her neck and placed it back on his knees.
He sat up straight, the usual playfulness between his brows gradually disappeared, and his expression became serious: "A Zhao, your feelings..."
Cai Yuezhao's heart tightened. Here it comes, here it comes, he's about to start spouting those high-sounding truisms.
She didn't want to, so she interrupted him abruptly: "I know, we are not suitable."
"Brother Xiao, don't worry. This matter ends today. I will never cause you any trouble, nor will I let this matter bring any trouble to the Yu and Cai families."
At this point, she became sad, her eyes reddened: "Brother Xiao, now you and I are both grown up, when we meet again in the future, let's just be ordinary friends."
Yu Xiao was so angry that he laughed and raised his hand as if to hit her forehead.
It can be seen that her eyes are red and she looks pitiful, so he changed from patting to touching and gently rubbed the top of her head.
"A Zhao, there are some things I can't say right now, but today I only have one question for you."
Cai Yuezhao sniffed and looked up at him: "Go ahead."
Yu Xiao: "What would you do if I, Yu Xiao, never married?"
Cai Yuezhao's heart was pounding: "Then I, Cai Yuezhao, will never marry."
Yu Xiao raised his lips slightly and asked, "What if His Majesty grants you a marriage?"
Cai Yuezhao: "I will go to the temple to practice cultivation on behalf of the Queen Mother and pray for blessings and copy scriptures for her."
Yu Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter. As he laughed, he suddenly reached out and roughly pulled the girl opposite him into his arms.
Cai Yuezhao struggled: "Yu Xiao, what are you crazy about?"
Yu Xiao didn't let go, and stroked her back heavily with his palm: "A Zhao, remember what you said today."
He leaned close to her ear, his voice very soft, but with some ruthless intent: "If you dare to have an affair with another man before I marry, I will kill him with my own hands."
Hearing this unreasonable nonsense, Cai Yuezhao's whole body froze, and the warmth that he had just felt in his arms instantly turned into ice.
She realized that what he had just said was not what she thought.
It was clearly Prince Yu who was always competitive and wanted to compete with her even in marriage.
She suddenly broke free from his arms, and her embroidered shoes crushed his feet. Amid Yu Xiao's wailing, she lifted the curtain and got out of the car.
But she turned back just after taking half a step, and she reached out and snatched back the food box containing the beef jerky.
Why should the food that Aning's sister worked so hard to prepare for her be given away for free to such a dead man?
Yu Xiao crossed his arms in front of him, leaning lazily against the wall of the compartment, with a nonchalant smile on his face. He watched the angry girl come back, snatched a food box and took it back, glaring at him twice before leaving in a rage.
He lifted the carriage curtain and saw her stepping on a footstool to get into the carriage. Then he said, "A Zhao, have a safe journey."
Cai Yuezhao had already made up her mind to ignore him, but after holding the car curtain with her fingertips for a long time, she finally gave in.
She stuck half of her face out of the window and waved to him with red eyes.
Then he lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go."
Yuan Qing, carrying a long sword on his back, jumped onto the shaft of the carriage nimbly. The driver flicked the whip and the carriage drove forward.
Yu Xiao got off the carriage, looked around for a while, and suddenly said, "Yu Shi."
Yu Shi came forward and bowed, saying, "I'm here."
Yu Xiao: "You take a team and escort Ah Zhao to Shu County safely. After that, you don't have to rush back to the capital. Wait for my news."
Yu Shi clasped his fists and accepted the order, then mounted his horse and, with a team of twenty guards, chased after Cai Yuezhao's carriage.
Cai Yuezhao was sitting in the car wiping her tears, Fudong comforting her. When she heard the sound of horse hooves, she leaned out of the car window to see that it was Yushi and his men catching up. She asked curiously, "Yushi, what happened?"
Yu Shi cupped his hands and said, "The young marquis asked us to escort Miss Zhao to Shu County."
When Cai Yuezhao heard this, he quickly stuck his head out of the other car window and looked back.
She saw Yu Xiao standing in front of the carriage, looking at her with a smile. He suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture to her that only the two of them could understand.
Cai Yuezhao thought of the scene when the two of them came up with this gesture, and his heart softened and he suddenly felt relieved.
With tears in her eyes, she waved her arms vigorously, laughed and said loudly: "Brother Xiao, you have to be well."
---
Inside the city of Canghai County.
Meng Yuning and Yi'er sat in front of the car window, sticking their heads out to look around curiously.
Qi Jingyan sat opposite them and couldn't help laughing as he watched the two furry heads, one big and one small, turning left and right.
Yi'er pointed to a tree on the side of the road covered with jackfruits and exclaimed in surprise, "An Ning, what is that?"
Meng Yuning was also very excited: "That's jackfruit."
"Jackfruit?" Yi'er tilted his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Yier, I know, it's the pineapple used to make sweet and sour pork."
Meng Yuning smiled and pinched his chubby face: "It's not that pineapple. That pineapple grows on the ground. This is a jackfruit."
Yi'er seemed to understand, "Then can I eat this jackfruit?"
Meng Yuning nodded: "Of course it can be eaten. This is also very delicious. When the season comes, we will buy some to eat."
Qi Jingyan said: "Has An Ning ever..."
Meng Yuning had already guessed what he was going to ask, so she turned around and answered reflexively, "I've never eaten it before, I only read about it in a book."
Qi Jingyan laughed muffledly: "Okay, I won't ask anymore."
Then he stretched out his hand and said, "A Ning, help me sit over there. I also want to see the scenery along the road."
Meng Yuning was puzzled and pointed to the window behind him: "Your Highness can also watch from that side."
Qi Jingyan: "I want to watch it with you guys, so that when An Ning teaches Yi Er how to recognize things, I can also learn from her."
Meng Yuning nodded: "Okay, I'll help you."
Yi'er saw An Ning stand up and got down from the chair as well: "Yi'er, come and help too."
Mu Yun, who was following outside the car, looked inside when he heard this. He opened his mouth and was about to say, "Why don't I do it?" but he saw his prince glance at him lightly. He quickly closed his mouth, took two steps back, and disappeared from the view of the car window.
Meng Yuning sat down next to Qi Jingyan and pulled one of his arms over her shoulder, "Your Highness, hold on tight."
Then she put her other hand around his waist and tried to stand up: "Come on, come on."
Yi'er stood on the seat and supported his brother's other arm: "Come on."
Qi Jingyan held An Ning's shoulders with one hand, supported the carriage board with the other, and secretly exerted force with his legs.
The man stood up, but he forgot how tall he was and his head hit the roof of the car with a "bang", and he sat back down.
"Ouch, did you get hurt?" Meng Yuning quickly let go, stood up and stood in front of him, pulling his head to check it carefully.
Qi Jingyan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yeah, it hurts a little."
Thinking that Qi Jingyan, who could endure pain well, actually said it hurt at this moment, then that collision must have been a bit too hard. Meng Yuning reached out and rubbed it gently: "It's okay, it's okay. There's no bump. It will be fine after rubbing it."
Mu Yun, who was walking outside the car, recalled that when they were in the cabin in the mountains, Doctor Tang gave His Highness acupuncture treatment. His Highness was obviously in so much pain that his face turned pale and he was sweating profusely, but he didn't say a word.
But now, with just a minor bump on the carriage, His Highness...
Mu Yun couldn't bear to watch or listen any longer. He shrugged his shoulders, took two steps back, and decided to turn a blind eye.
As they retreated to the back of the carriage, they saw an elderly woman in the alley beside them, holding a child in her arms, running towards them, crying, "Help, help me, my dear!"
