46 Passing By a Familiar Tune (1/2)

”My lord, you should be well enough to travel now.” Xu Fei said as he slowly helped Ruan Wang get up from the bed.

Ruan Wang nodded as he held his head. Though he knew that it was not in his best interest to have a perpetual thought, he was still unable to shake those thoughts from his mind. Every time he attempted to close his eyes, he would be haunted by the mirage of that unadorned face.

He looked toward Xu Fei who was helping him up and said: ”Do you think it is possible to keep seeing a person whom you have never met before?”

”What do you mean my lord, is there someone that you keep seeing?” Xu Fei asked with worry.

”Yes, but I'm sure it is someone that I have never seen before, yet there is this sense of familiarity…”

”It could be someone from the past life.” Xu Fei casually recounted the many fables that he heard from those storytellers on the streets.

Of course, Ruan Wang had been trying for decades to see his late consort in his dreams but he was usually met with dreams of darkness or no dreams at all, so what were the chances that he could get an unknown person into his dreams.

”Perhaps.” Raun Wang said with a smile. He looked at the window, to be met with the darkness outside. ”It's dark outside.” Ruan Wang said to Xu Fei with confusion, wondering if they were to be traveling under the cover of night.

”It will be quieter.” Xu Fei took the chance to say. With no sunlight, it meant that there would be no one walking around and there would, in turn, be less noise that would cause a headache. Humans were strange warm-blooded creatures who loved sunlight and detested the darkness. If it was dark out, they would return home a little earlier and eat dinner a little sooner. Such was human nature.

Ruan Wang did not mind if he went home with the sun in the middle of the blue sky or no longer seen. The time of day did not matter much to him.

He sat upon a carriage that had the floor lined with a thick cotton quilt and a few pillows. The travel was not to be considered luxurious, but it was comfortable enough that an ill person could sit inside without being touched by the cold and harsh weather.

”How thoughtful.” Ruan Wang said as he got in. The carriage had unexpectedly exceeded his expectations. As he was not one to care about the smallest of details, nor order anything to be added to his plain carriage, one could only expect that nothing would be added or removed from his carriage.

At such words, Xu Fei bowed his head as though saying naturally this is for you because you are not well, but those words were unable to find its way from out of his lips.

As they were traveling, Ruan Wang came up with the brilliant idea of opening the carriage windows just as Xu Fei was becoming proud of himself. The wind came in and Ruan Wang's recovering body was met with a gust of cold wind.

”My lord, you must keep the windows closed.” Xu Fei cried out, startling the snowflakes in the air. His breath was like a frosted cloud.

”No need.” Ruan Wang said to him, preventing him from having the extra ideas of coming into the carriage himself and nailing the windows shut.

Though Xu Fei was not one to be easily frightened, he had a vague feeling that if he dared to close the window against his master's orders, what awaited him was the future of being kicked out of Ruan Wang Fu. There was only so much that he could act out. If going against one's master's wishes did not warrant getting kicked out, then he would certainly be able to get away with many other things.

In the end, he surrendered and slowly urged the horses onward with a slight tug on the reigns. The wooden wheels turned, flinging some of the loose powdered snow in different directions. It was quite a serene yet violent sight to behold. The horses pulled forward the carriage, with the heavy sound of horseshoes that came along. The large warm-blooded creatures exhaled a deep that were also fully frosted into clouds.
