Meng Ruyi watched Song Huaizhi get off the carriage with her own eyes. Then Jingzhe lifted the curtain and got in. She couldn't help clenching her teeth, and her hand involuntarily touched the corner of her lips.
"Miss." Jingzhe bowed slightly and said to Meng Ruyi, "The other servants are all on the carriage behind. Just now, Young Master Song said you were asleep, so he told them not to come over for the time being to avoid disturbing you."
"Shall I ask them to come and attend to you now?"
"No need." Meng Ruyi shook her head. "Don't bother."
As soon as Jingzhe got on the carriage, she noticed the faint blush on Meng Ruyi's face. She thought it was because she felt stuffy while sleeping, so she casually lifted the curtain to let some wind in.
As a result, when Meng Ruyi looked up, she met the gaze of Song Huaizhi riding a horse by the window. There was a smile on his lips. When he saw Meng Ruyi looking out, he even rubbed the corner of his lips with great interest.
Meng Ruyi: "..."
Why is Song Huaizhi being so childish today!
Gritting her teeth, Meng Ruyi said to Jingzhe, "That's enough. Close the curtain first."
Hearing this, Jingzhe immediately pulled the curtain closed. Just before closing it, she saw Song Huaizhi outside and guessed that the two of them might have had a quarrel. So she couldn't help feeling a little gloating.
Meng Ruyi sat there frowning, thinking about how to get her revenge.
Song Huaizhi must sleep too. She just didn't know if she could catch him resting in the carriage. Otherwise, would she have to launch a sneak attack in the middle of the night?
Frowning and thinking, Meng Ruyi felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier.
She went to bed too late last night. It seemed that she still had to sleep for a while.
As soon as this thought came up, Meng Ruyi fell into a drowsy sleep before she could even think further.
...
The next few days were quite peaceful.
The weather was also good. It wasn't too sunny, but it didn't rain either.
Looking at the stars all over the sky, Song Huaizhi hesitated for a moment and then said to Meng Ruyi standing beside him, "We may not be able to set off tomorrow, so let's stay in this inn for a while."
It was already late, and traveling was very tiring.
Meng Ruyi covered her mouth with her hand and yawned. Then she came to her senses and said to Song Huaizhi in surprise, "Brother Xiaosong can read the stars? Will it rain tomorrow?"
Seeing that Meng Ruyi had guessed the answer without him having to explain, Song Huaizhi felt inexplicably happy, so he nodded and said, "Well, I know a thing or two."
[Damn it, what do you mean by knowing a thing or two! He's really showing off!]
[Song Huaizhi is really a good helper for traveling and daily life. From killing and arson to sewing clothes, there's nothing he can't do. He's so versatile!]
[Is there a Song Huaizhi brand robot? He's simply the perfect nanny. If any company produces it, I'll be the first to support it!!]
[Why isn't anyone shipping us! The cold and ruthless villain turns into a gentle brother for love. Who can resist this?!]
[If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten that Song Huaizhi is a villain...]
Yeah, Song Huaizhi was the legendary ruthless and tough villain.
Meng Ruyi saw these bullet screens, but looking at Song Huaizhi's gentle side face, she really couldn't connect the person in front of her with the description on the bullet screens.
So, was she different to him, which was why he showed a different side of himself in front of her?
Thinking of this, Meng Ruyi couldn't help looking up at Song Huaizhi's side face again, and the corner of her lips involuntarily curled up slightly.
"Let's go." Seeing that the wind outside wasn't strong and thinking that Meng Ruyi had been cooped up in the carriage for several days and almost fell asleep as soon as she got off to rest, Song Huaizhi decided to take her out for some fresh air. "I'll take you out for a walk now."
"Let's go!"
Meng Ruyi was also bored. Finally, she had adjusted herself. Naturally, she was eager to go out for a walk.
Seeing that she had recovered, Song Huaizhi felt a little relieved. After all, Meng Ruyi was only about to turn sixteen. She had never traveled so far before and was going to a dangerous place. She had left her parents. Now that he saw her in high spirits again, Song Huaizhi was much more at ease.
Thinking like this, the two of them had already gone downstairs in the inn. The innkeeper greeted them eagerly, but Song Huaizhi shook his head to signal him to back off.
They had chosen a small inn today. Although it was small, it had all the necessary facilities.
It was located beside the official road, only about ten miles away from the nearby small town. So occasionally, people riding horses in a hurry would come in.
Meng Ruyi followed Song Huaizhi out for a walk. Seeing the wildflowers by the roadside in full bloom, she couldn't help squatting down to take a closer look.
"Do you like them?" Song Huaizhi also squatted down beside her and said, "Shall I pick some for you?"
" ... Forget it."
Meng Ruyi hesitated for a moment but still shook her head regretfully.
These flowers wouldn't live long after being picked. It would be better to let them bloom here.
So Meng Ruyi stood up again.
When she was half - squatting, Meng Ruyi suddenly touched Song Huaizhi's hand.
Song Huaizhi was startled for a moment, then he took her hand and intertwined their fingers.
Meng Ruyi was shocked. She found that they were extremely close. She could even see the smile in Song Huaizhi's eyes.
With their fingers intertwined, Meng Ruyi felt his slightly cool hand. The familiar cold fragrance that was so close enveloped her, making her widen her eyes slightly.
The night breeze was slightly cool but not cold. It was very pleasant.
Meng Ruyi was in a daze. The stray hairs on her forehead were fluttered by the wind, looking a bit unruly.
Seeing this, Song Huaizhi skillfully reached out his other hand to tuck the stray hairs behind Meng Ruyi's ear. Then he said to her softly, "Yuyu, let's go. Let's take a stroll for a while longer."
Meng Ruyi's ears turned slightly red, and she nodded.
Help! Meng Ruyi couldn't figure out why Song Huaizhi had become so proactive recently, and he always looked so childish, as if a certain switch had been suddenly turned on and he had become as enthusiastic as a big dog, which made it a bit difficult for her to handle.
She was screaming inside. She couldn't suppress the pounding of her heart at all. She felt that her heart was about to jump out of her mouth the next moment.
The bullet screens were also screaming. There were a large number of "Ahhhh" and a word "Civil Affairs Bureau" that Meng Ruyi didn't understand was flooding the screen. Meng Ruyi couldn't help taking a glance, but the next moment she paused slightly and fell into deep thought.
[Brother Xiaosong is so considerate. He knows that Yuyu is sad because she's away from home, so he's been trying all kinds of ways to distract her these days. He's so enthusiastic, proactive and lively!!! Who can resist him!!!]
Suddenly, the clouds in front of her seemed to be pushed aside.
Meng Ruyi felt that she, being in the middle of the situation, was so blinded that she hadn't seen Song Huaizhi's intentions clearly.
By now, the two of them were on their way back. Meng Ruyi subconsciously turned to look at him. The man's side face had smooth lines and looked even more handsome in the moonlight.
When they reached the door of her room, Meng Ruyi said goodbye to him.
After saying that, she suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips.
Before Song Huaizhi could react, he saw Meng Ruyi give him a sly smile, then she turned around and went into the room, leaving a crack in the door and looking at him.
"Brother Xiaosong, see you tomorrow!"
After saying that, Meng Ruyi suddenly remembered that she had been teased in the carriage last time, so she smiled wickedly and rubbed the corner of her lips.
Song Huaizhi watched her close the door. He thought it was just a joke, so he turned around and bumped into Jingzhe with a surprised look on her face.
Jingzhe: "..."
It seemed that Song Huaizhi had even put on lip balm during the short time she hadn't seen him!
Only then did Song Huaizhi realize something was wrong. He went back to his room helplessly. Looking at the faint red mark on his lips, he couldn't help laughing softly.
