The wolf in front and the pursuers at the back
Liu Qingping smiled, "Your Highness, this humble one will definitely prepare the best tea leaves and send them to you."
Jing Rong patted his shoulder, "Good boy!"
Speechless!
The scene was comical.
Before Ji Yunshu boarded the carriage, Li Qingping leaned over and whispered, "You can eat the fruits in the carriage, but don't share them with others."
"I know."
"Then be careful on the way to Yufu. You will definitely come back on the way back, and I will prepare more fruits for you."
She looked at him from head to toe and said seriously, "When you get the official seal, you must be a good official."
Li Qingping nodded heavily.
Then, he watched as they boarded the carriage and left.
He was reluctant to part with them and secretly wiped away his tears.
Not too far away, Ji Wanxin hid behind a wall, watching as they boarded the carriage and left. Her almond-shaped eyes were filled with envy and unwillingness. Her fingers clenched on the mottled brick wall, clenching into a weak fist.
The maidservant beside her was worried that she would catch a cold and said, "Second Miss, let's go back. Third Miss has already left."
Ji Wanxin was still looking at her.
"Second Miss?"
She narrowed her eyes, "It won't be long before Yunshu and I … meet again in the capital."
A strange smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
The maidservant did not ask any questions, nor did she say anything else.
Ji Wanxin had been standing there for a long time. She pressed her chest and coughed a few times, as if she was about to cough up blood. She let the maidservant beside her help her back.
… …
The carriage slowly moved out of the city, but Ji Yunshu was absent-minded. Her head was lowered, and her eyes were listless.
Jing Rong knew what she was thinking.
He reached out and held her cold hand, comforting her.
"We will come back to pick him up soon."
Ji Yunshu's palm trembled slightly. It was probably because of the warmth of his palm.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Jing Rong, "I know."
The next moment, Jing Rong pulled her into his arms, hugging her thin shoulders and gently resting his chin on her head.
She was like a well-behaved child, nestling in his broad and comfortable chest. Her beautiful eyelashes fluttered a few times before she gently closed her eyes.
Just then —
"Shu 'er."
Hearing his voice, Ji Yunshu suddenly opened her eyes. She broke free from Jing Rong's embrace and immediately lifted the curtain to look behind.
He saw Wei Yi chasing after the carriage!
As he chased after her, he shouted her name.
"Stop!" she shouted at the driver.
After a few steps, the carriage stopped!
She immediately lifted her gown and got off the carriage, running towards Wei Yi.
They stood facing each other, he looking down at her, she looking up at him.
At this moment, Wei Yi's face was flushed red, and he was out of breath from running. However, the corners of his mouth were still curled up in a sunny smile, like that of a big boy. His clear and cold eyes were clean and pure as he gazed at Ji Yunshu. They were filled with deep affection and reluctance to part.
"Why are you here?"
Her voice was choked with emotion.
"I'm here to send Shu 'er off." Wei Yi handed something to her. "This is for you."
Hmm?
It was a neatly folded piece of paper.
She took it and was about to open it when she was stopped.
Wei Yi stretched out his hand and pressed it against the letter. "I'll read it when I'm on the road."
Ji Yunshu tightened her grip on the letter, but she didn't ask any questions. She nodded and stuffed the letter into her sleeve.
The next moment, Wei Yi opened his arms and hugged her. He closed his eyes and buried his head in her delicate neck.
"Shu 'er, I want to hug you again."
As he spoke, his hands tightened even more.
Ji Yunshu felt her chest tremble, but she let him hug her.
Everything around them seemed to become very quiet at this moment.
Everyone's eyes also turned to look at them. Two grown men hugging each other was too exciting. If there was a camera, they would definitely record it. Who knows, they might even be able to make some money from it.
Because the carriage stopped for a while, Tang Si was puzzled. She muttered, "Why did they stop?"
Mo Ruo was leaning against the carriage, pretending to doze off. He leisurely said, "There are jackals and wolves in front and pursuers behind."
Huh?
These words were probably only understood by those refined scholars.
Tang Si frowned and stuck her head out to see what was going on.
It would have been better if she didn't look, but she was shocked when she did.
"My Ah Ji is actually hugging Wei Yi! Are you kidding me? Two grown men, so shameless! "She clenched her fists in anger.
Mo Ruo snickered at the side.
Tang Si's upper body was hanging from the carriage window. Her sharp eyes stared at the 'innocent couple' hugging each other.
After a long time, Wei Yi finally let go of her.
He was still smiling. "Shu 'er, you must remember to come back and pick me up. I promise you that I will learn calligraphy and recite poems from Uncle Fu. I will get better and better."
She felt gratified and reached out to caress his head.
"When I'm not around, you must take good care of yourself and listen to Uncle Fu. Do you understand?"
"I understand."
"Good girl!"
"Shu 'er, you must take care of yourself along the way. At night, you must wear more clothes so that you don't catch a cold. Otherwise, you will cough for a long time. Also, if you don't like fish with chopped onions, don't eat it anymore. When you come back, I will ask Uncle Fu to cook it for you. You will definitely like the fish he cooks.
Oh, right … "He rambled on and on.
Ji Yunshu did not stop him and allowed him to continue. Towards the end, she could not help but cry. Tears flowed down her cheeks to her chin and neck.
"Thank you, Wei Yi," he said.
He shook his head and reached out to wipe away her tears. "Don't cry, Shu 'er. I will be fine."
She bit her lip. "I'm leaving."
"Take care on the way back."
She nodded lightly.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and steeled her heart. She turned and left.
Wei Yi stood there in a daze. He looked at the slender figure and pursed his lips. He did not call out to her again until she boarded the carriage. Then, he sniffed and softly called out to the air, "Shu 'er."
The smile on his face also stiffened, and there was an additional emotion on his face that was difficult to see through.
He watched helplessly as the procession of carriages and horses moved further and further away from his sight.
Little by little, it disappeared!
… …
Inside the carriage, Ji Yunshu tried her best to maintain her composure. She suppressed the sadness in her heart and waited for the carriage to move for a while before she lifted the curtain and looked back.
Wei Yi was nowhere to be seen.
Jing Rong's heart ached to see her like this, but he could only accompany her in silence and not disturb her.
The carriage left Jinjiang City and continued north. Along the way, Ji Yunshu did not say a word. She looked absent-minded, as if she had lost her soul.
The guards were not used to not hearing Wei Yi's voice along the way.
Someone asked, "Why do you think Teacher Ji left Young Master Wei in the Wei Mansion?"
"You don't know? Teacher Ji was worried that Young Master Wei would get hurt again, so he didn't bring him along. "
"Speaking of which, Young Master Wei is really a loyal person. When the arrow came, he didn't even think before standing in front of Teacher Ji. He didn't even care about his own life. Usually, he looks like a yes-man. I didn't expect him to be so brave at a critical moment."
