Time seemed to have stopped. The two of them stared at the lake thoughtfully. The moonlight shone on the surface of the lake, and the water reflected their faces. They could only hear the chirping of insects and birds around them, and they did not even dare to breathe too hard.
Behind him, Jin Xiu, Ru Yi, and Ming De had fallen asleep on their sides. The branches in the bonfire were burning and making creaking sounds.
As the night grew darker, a thin layer of fog rose from the mountains and fell on the two of them, making them moist.
Murong Lingxiang tilted his head and looked at Yue Yinshuang, who was still bending her legs, her arms wrapped around her calves, her chin resting on her knees. Her posture hadn't changed at all. Her eyes were fixed on a certain spot, completely immersed in her own world.
The night wind gently lifted her green clothes and brushed her hair by her ear. Then, it rolled up the fallen leaves behind her and slowly left.
She was like a fairy in the forest, making him unable to shift his gaze away. He was afraid that once he closed his eyes, she would disappear.
Her beauty often fascinated him. He really wanted to look at her like this, but it was impossible, wasn't it?
This morning, he received a secret report from a spy in Ziyue Kingdom. The content was that Ziyue Kingdom had already begun to take action. They were secretly recruiting soldiers and buying horses. They also bribed some high-ranking officials in the court to try their best to find people to draw a map of the palace. He had to be on guard.
He stood up and strode away without saying a word.
Yue Yinshuang knew that he had left, but she didn't say anything. Her body remained motionless, but a trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes.
The word 'disappointed' stunned her. She didn't know why she felt disappointed, but because of this thought, she frowned deeply.
Murong Ling Xiang walked to the side of the carriage and stretched out his hand to pull out a cloak from his bag. He hung it on his small arm and slowly walked towards her.
She felt someone approaching, and she raised her face, which was buried in her knees, and looked at the spot beside her in confusion.
When he saw her gaze, he knew that she was actually paying attention to him. For some reason, he was in a good mood and the corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
"What's wrong?" He sat down next to her and pretended to be angry. Because he didn't like others staring at him. This was something that everyone in the harem knew.
"It's nothing." She blushed slightly and averted her gaze as she said nonchalantly.
He picked up the cloak in his hand and gently draped it over her shoulders. He even helped her tighten it, as if he was afraid that she would be cold.
"I'm not cold." She turned her head and stared at him, feeling touched.
"No, the night dew in the mountains is very heavy. It's very easy to catch a cold.”He saw that she was about to take off her cloak and covered her hand to stop her. It was unclear whether his words were reproachful or indulgent.
"..." She pulled her hand out almost immediately and clenched it into a fist by her side, but there was no sign of it from her face.
He was very dissatisfied with her distancing herself from him and frowned.
He reached out and wrapped his arms around her shoulders. He pulled hard and her head happened to rest on his shoulder.
"What are you doing?" She looked up angrily and glared at him.
The hand on her shoulder tightened, not allowing her to leave. The more she struggled, the harder he tried, but he did not hurt her.
"We still have to travel tomorrow, so rest early.”He raised his other hand and pressed her head on his shoulder again, ignoring her murderous gaze.
"You!" She wanted to struggle, but he held her tightly.
"Go to sleep." He actually acted shamelessly towards her, and even he himself was surprised.
Perhaps it was because she was too tired today, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and she finally fell asleep.
He felt that the person beside him was already asleep. He hugged her shoulders and let her come closer to him, sharing the warmth of his body with her. He looked at her sleeping face with a satisfied smile on his lips.
