Yes, he also rembered that ti.
At that ti, he had no feelings for her, he rely heard a young girl "boasting" about her proficiency in riding and archery, so he deliberately had her compete with Huang Gongyi, as expected, Shang Ruyi returned in a crushing defeat.
But—
When he saw Shang Ruyi standing among the thousands of soldiers, obviously she lost, and lost so miserably, yet the way she gave her all made a defeated one seem so splendid and even stirred the cheers of the soldiers in the army.
She indeed won the respect of the entire camp, and also his respect for her.
But, he never told her—
That was his first unexpected heartbeat for her.
Unexpectedly, so much ti had passed, he had already forgotten about this matter, but at this mont, when ntioned again, looking at this little girl in front of him who still appeared as she did back then, that unexpected heartbeat struck him once more.
Made him, once again, moved.
Seeing Yu Wenye in silent contemplation, Shang Ruyi didn’t say much, just pushed him with a smile: "Alright, anyway, it’s settled then, I’ll go out with you tomorrow. First, you go and bathe—"
Before she finished speaking, she felt a weight on her wrist.
The searing warmth made Shang Ruyi’s heart beat uncontrollably, and as she lowered her head, she realized that it was Yu Wenye who had grabbed her wrist.
However, it was completely different from when she grabbed him.
His body temperature was much higher, the place where their skin touched was so hot that she slightly flinched, but even before she could pull back, she felt her body beco light as Yu Wenye scooped her up horizontally and entered the inner chamber.
"Ah—"
Shang Ruyi wanted to say sothing, but her voice seed swallowed by sothing, making the whole room silent at once.
The night wind surged, extinguishing the last candle in the room.
In the sudden darkness, there were sounds of rustling and sothing sticky, and after an uncertain amount of ti passed, Shang Ruyi’s soft and sweet voice gasped out—
"Aren’t you tired?"
In the silence, it seed soone gritted their teeth, and after a long ti, a muffled voice ca—
"Why don’t you see if I’m tired!"
|
So tired...
Clearly, she had his consent and was allowed to go to Changle Square today, but Shang Ruyi slept until daylight, and when she opened her eyes, the room was already brightly lit.
However, she felt as if all her bones had been dismantled and reassembled.
Laying floppy on the bed, after a long while, she slowly gathered so strength to get up, and by then, he was already gone.
At this mont, Shang Ruyi doubted what on earth his body was made of, even though he was the one who went out and busied himself the whole day yesterday while she only did a bit of needlework at ho. Yet, in the end, she was left so spent by him, finding it hard even to get up, yet he left so nonchalantly early in the morning.
Damn it...
Feeling both ashad and annoyed, she got up and washed, then after breakfast, Shang Ruyi left with Tushere and Wo Xue.
At this ti within Daxing City, although it wasn’t devoid of people, the streets were silent, carriages barely saw one or two pedestrians after traveling half the day, and they were all covered and shrinking away, as if avoiding sothing.
But upon reaching Vermilion Bird Street, heading southward, gradually, the strong sll of dicine in the air grew denser.
The mist infused with the dicinal scent grew thicker too.
Finally, the carriage stopped, and soone outside said, "Young Madam, we’ve reached Changle Square."
