Chapter 65
"You...what do you want to do?" Zuo Xiangning hugged the quilt and looked at the man who had taken off his shirt, "Didn't you say you wanted me to sleep on the bed?"

"Didn't I let you sleep now?" The man yawned, pulled the pillow that Zuo Xiangning had just been lying on, lay down and let out a long breath, "Riding is really tiring, it's better not to rest at night. I couldn’t stand it at all the next day.”

Zuo Xiangning, who was already about to get out of bed, sat back on the bed.

Ling Xiao yawned again and looked at the woman who was still sitting there, "Aren't you still asleep?"

He turned over, turned his back to her, and said, "I'm sleepy and tired, so I have to go to bed first."

Zuo Xiangning sat there, looking at his back.

He blocked the outside of the bed like a wall, surrounding her between him and the wall. In this small but warm place, Zuo Xiangning could only sit for a moment, but she actually felt faintly sleepy.

Zuo Xiangning thought for a while, lay down against the wall, and slowly closed her eyes.

Although Ling Xiao, who was lying on the outside, didn't look back, he could feel every move she made from behind, and could even imagine her cute little expression.

After her breathing calmed down and she fell asleep, he turned around and looked at the little woman next to him.

She might only be so well-behaved when she is asleep, right?
Why is she getting more and more beautiful?

She was thinner and taller than when he first saw her, and her eyebrows became more delicate. He didn't know how beautiful she would be in her prime years after she got hairpins.

Before Zuo Xiangning went to bed, she wrapped the quilt around her body. After a while, she was so hot that she couldn't breathe in her sleep.

She pulled on her collar, kicked off the quilt, and put one leg directly on the man next to her.

The loose pants reached her thighs, leaving her smooth calves exposed.

The man who hadn't slept yet raised his hand and grabbed the slender calf.

The starting point is like fine mutton-fat jade, smooth and delicate.

The man's palm gently rubbed back and forth on the woman's calf a few times, then reluctantly put it back under the quilt.

The man quietly looked at the delicate eyebrows of the woman next to him, stretched his arms under the woman's neck, gently hugged the woman with the quilt in his arms, took a deep breath on the side of her face, and held the quilt between his palms , kneading her body gently.

This grinder, he wanted to pull her up and spank her.

Waiting for her to get haircut!
Zuo Xiangning, who had been tired for a day, slept soundly and had no idea what happened.

Early the next morning, Zuo Xiangning, who was sleeping soundly, was shaken awake.

Ling Xiao, fully dressed, leaned over and looked at her, "Sluggard, the sun will come out soon."

The sleepy Zuo Xiangning sat up from the bed, hugged the quilt, and asked drowsily: "Are you leaving?"

"Don't you want to watch the sunrise yet?" Ling Xiao asked softly, "The weather is perfect today."

"Oh." Zuo Xiangning blinked hard, sobered up, and looked at the man who was still leaning over to look at her.

Why is this man so gentle?

"What are you looking at?" Ling Xiao was amused by her silly expression. He left, arranged the bed curtains outside, and urged, "Hurry up."

Zuo Xiangning shook her heavy head and sat for a while before putting on her clothes and getting out of bed.

Ling Xiao stood in front of the window and waved to her, "Come here!"

Zuo Xiangning walked to the window. Ling Xiao reached out and slowly opened the window. The fiery red golden light rushed towards her face. The cool breeze blew into the room along with the sunshine. Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but shudder.

She crossed her arms, squinted her eyes, and watched the big, red sun rising from the other side of the mountain, feeling inexplicably surging.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Ling Xiao wrapped one of his coats around her body.

Zuo Xiangning turned her head and looked at the man.

His handsome face was dyed with a light red color, like intoxicating fruit wine, sweet and delicious.

The man's eyes also fell on her face.

Her eyes were dark and bright, black and white, with two small figures reflected in them.

The man's face slowly moved closer to her plump red lips. Just when they were about to touch her, the woman's hands pressed against his chest.

"I...my neck hurts." Zuo Xiangning blinked her long eyelashes and ducked away from him. "You are really cruel to yourself." Ling Xiao became angry when he thought of this, "Your body is damaged by your parents, how dare you damage it so easily?"

"Who told you to force me to return to the capital?" Zuo Xiangning stroked her neck and said, "I don't know if there will be any scars."

"You brought the scar on yourself!" Ling Xiao took her arm and asked her to sit on the chair. He leaned over and carefully opened the cloth around her neck.

The wound was not big, but quite deep. There was a scab on the surface, but the surrounding area was red and swollen.

He took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, dipped his fingertips in it, and gently applied it on her wounds.

Zuo Xiangning blushed and grabbed his wrist, "I'll do it myself."

"This is my life-saving medicine. Don't waste it at all." Ling Xiao took her hand away and spread it evenly on her. After tying the cloth, he stood up and said, "We have to go, otherwise, tonight You have to sleep in the open air.”

"Then leave quickly." Zuo Xiangning found that this man was a little unusual in being nice to her today.

His expression was frighteningly gentle and his eyes were frighteningly hot. When she saw him, she felt as if her whole body was on fire and her heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Ling Xiao looked at the woman who was running away and followed her with a smile.

The two went all the way west, and rested under a big tree at noon.

Zuo Xiangning got off the horse, her legs and feet were numb, she sat down on the grass and let out a long breath.

Ling Xiao handed her the water bag, took out the beef wrapped in oil paper, cut it into slices, and placed it on her lap.

Zuo Xiangning was shaken, her internal organs seemed to be out of place, she had no appetite at all, and only drank two mouthfuls of water.

"We have to have something to eat at night." Ling Xiao saw that her face was not good, so he felt distressed and picked up a piece of beef and put it to her mouth, coaxing her and saying, "I'll have someone make donkey meat soup for you tonight."

"I'm really not hungry." Zuo Xiangning handed everything to Ling Xiao and lay down on the grass. "Let me lie down for a while. Call me when you leave."

"Eat less." Ling Xiao wanted to persuade her, but saw that she had already closed her eyes.

He sat next to her and ate half the bag.

Half an hour later, he picked up the woman who was lying on the ground and couldn't get up, and put her on the horse's back.

The woman leaned against him lazily and weakly.

Ling Xiao saw something was wrong with her, touched her forehead and found that it was a little hot.

He was secretly anxious, so he leaned over her ear and whispered: "If you keep patiently, we will arrive at the inn soon."

"I'm fine." Zuo Xiangning wanted to stand up, but her body was so weak that she couldn't use her strength.

"Be good, don't move." Ling Xiao hugged her waist tightly and slapped the horse's butt hard, "Drive!"

Racing all the way, in the evening, when it was getting dark, the two of them arrived at the next station.

The bones in Zuo Xiangning's body seemed to be falling apart. When she dismounted, she couldn't even stand.

Ling Xiao bent down and carried her into the guest room.

Zuo Xiangning just raised her eyelids and glanced at him, then remained motionless and let him hold her.

Ling Xiao touched her forehead, which was even hotter than before. He asked nervously: "How are you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

Zuo Xiangning vaguely felt as if she had returned to the night when she set the fire in her previous life.

The flames soaring into the sky surrounded her, making her want to escape, but there was no way out.

She saw Gu Zhiqing standing up from the table and looking at her with a desperate expression, "I have true feelings for you. For you, I won't even touch Min, but you treat me like this?"

"True love?" Zuo Xiangning laughed wildly, "I can't bear your true love, I'd better wait for the next life!"

"Who do you want to wait for the rest of your life?"

A familiar and warm male voice suddenly came to Zuo Xiangning's ears. She opened her eyes suddenly and looked at the man in front of her, "You...why are you here?"
