"If we don’t go to the island, do you plan to stay on the beach forever? The climate at sea is unstable. While it may be sunny during the day, it might rain and get windy at night. Let’s go check out the island first."
Just the ntion of storms made Commandery Princess Dongyang uneasy.
It was terrifying indeed, and because of the raging storm, swimming with all her strength, her limbs now felt as if they were about to break.
"Mu Shaoling, I can’t walk anymore!"
She was genuinely too exhausted, her limbs felt so floaty.
Mu Shaoling turned to look at her, not able to walk?
"So?"
"Would you carry on your back?"
All of a sudden, Mu Shaoling felt a headache coming on, carry her? What a joke. He’d never carried anyone his entire life, and how many people would dare to let him do so?
However, when he t her innocent big eyes and the faint expectation within, he found himself walking towards her without control.
It was only when he reached her that he finally realized what he was about to do.
But his pride wouldn’t let him admit that he was willing to carry her.
"Get on! Won are always so delicate," he said, bending his back and stooping down to let her climb up. Seeing him so agreeable, Commandery Princess Dongyang herself was startled for a second, rubbing her eyes in disbelief. She had simply spoken on a whim.
She didn’t expect him to really agree to carry her.
Hehe, but well, getting carried by soone was quite pleasant, especially since she really couldn’t walk anymore.
Obediently, she climbed onto Mu Shaoling’s back and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.
"Mu Shaoling, do you like a little bit now?"
"Shut up!" Mu Shaoling, his back to her and eyes full of embarrassnt, said, "I’m telling you, young master, I am carrying you because you carried in the sea. Don’t get the wrong idea!"
"Hey, Mu Shaoling!" Commandery Princess Dongyang objected to what he said, "People say that one should return a small favor with a bubbling spring and repay a lifesaving grace with a lifelong commitnt. You owe your life to ; shouldn’t you be willing to repay with your life?"
Hearing this, Mu Shaoling went silent.
After a long while, he said, "Won are just troubleso! How you even nitpick over such minor favors."
Instantly, Commandery Princess Dongyang was speechless. If saving a life counts as a minor favor, then what counts as a major one? And he dares to call her troubleso? Yet this troubleso woman saved your life, for goodness’ sake! You’re a man and not botherso at all, but let’s see you try to rescue yourself!
Thinking this, Commandery Princess Dongyang felt indignant and wouldn’t accept it quietly!
Seeing that she remained silent, Mu Shaoling asked, "Why aren’t you talking anymore?"
"This commandery princess finds talking to a pig far too exhausting, I need to rest for a while."
Calling him a pig? Mu Shaoling looked at his hand, considering whether letting go might not kill her, right?
Commandery Princess Dongyang, although silent, was keeping a watchful eye on him. Seeing him stop and look down, she hastened to say, "If you dare drop , I will throw you into the sea!"
At her words, Mu Shaoling’s face turned green. The thing he least wanted to hear about now was the sea, the thought brought back the mory of being held and swum by a woman, although he did not witness it, a little imagination told him how embarrassing that scene must have been.
Mu Shaoling took a deep breath and decided not to argue with her, continuing to walk toward the island.
After a while, "Mu Shaoling!"
"?"
"About the imperial marriage decree, I’m sorry!" She indeed had long owed Mu Shaoling an apology.
Upon hearing her words, Mu Shaoling fell silent! After a long pause, he said, "Just be more careful next ti!"
Listen to how prideful he is! Couldn’t he just say it didn’t matter? Clearly, that’s what he thought, but why did his words always co across as so unpleasant?
Yet, such a statent still managed to elicit a big smile on Commandery Princess Dongyang’s face!
Continuing to carry her on his back toward the island, he wondered if anyone would ever find them in this desolate place.

"Has the young master not returned yet?" The rain in Mianyang persisted, and Ye Zi’an had been going out on these past few days.
