The march ithout doubt, arduous, tedious, and terribly dull

In order to ensure that his little puppy would not want for anything during the journey, Jing Cheng really went all out

A great deal of careful thought went into the arrange and cozy interior of the coach, as well as the meticulously prepared snacks and little trinkets to keep hie were specially selected, to ensure a s's free spirit stand to be confined to such a s around restlessly, itching to stir things up

He dropped a few furtive hints to Jing Cheng to express his interest in riding a horse Of course, Jing Cheng could not say no to that He i onto his own horse and spurred it into a gallop, lory of the setting sun, they ether The officers and soldiers of the arye, how could you betray us this way, did we not agree that ill all be bachelors for life together, how could you getonly left the backs

It was Su Yang's first time on a horse, and the experience was a novelty for hi's chest, he hollered happily, “Faster, go faster!”

It was rare for his little puppy to be this happy Jing Cheng urged his horse to greater speed, “Red Shadow, jia!”

Jing Cheng's steed was a ferghana horse which was gifted to him by a Grand Master At top speed, only a blood red shadow can be seen, hence it was given the nahana horses, 汗血宝马 (hàn xuè bǎo ot their unusual Chinese name because when they run, their blood vessels are very clearly defined through their thin, allands around their shoulders and neck are so strong that when they sweat, they emit a reddish liquid that ives the disconcerting appearance of bleeding They are also called ‘heavenly horses' and were so coveted, they caused a war}

With its htning tearing through the plains The histled in their ears, the hills and trees blurred together and receded at a terrifying rate In the blink of an eye, they left the ar's dark hair was blown into disarray Heedlessly, he spread his ar jubilantly

“It's–so–fast–!!”

Jing Cheng promptly wrapped an arm around his waist to ensure he would not fall off the horse Seeing Su Yang's joy, his lips unconsciously curved into a s Su Yang suddenly grabbed hold of his hand, crying urgently, “Stop, stop!”

Jing Cheng hurriedly reined in his horse, and asked, “What's wrong, are you unwell?”

Su Yang flailed his aran retching before he could reach the ground And then… well, in short, it wasn't a pretty sight

Red Shadow snorted and danced two steps away Jing Cheng shot a cold glare at it, then h he was puking his guts out, Su Yang's state of mind was still intact He must not, absolutely must not let anyone see him in such a sorry state! Especially this et!

But of course, Jing Cheng was not one to quietly obey He only paused for a htly patting hi to alleviate his disco? Still sick?”

Su Yang covered his lared at Jing Cheng hatefully with tear-filled eyes

His Highness the Róngas blissfully unaware of his faux pas He s dirty” And then he ruffled Su Yang's messy head of hair to show that he was not in the least bit disgusted

Su Yang: “……QAQ”

For Su Yang, to be seen e his sto as a fe her house without a lick of ht on camera This level of hu would like nothing better than to bury his head in the ground and put an end to his ed, and endured another bout of vo has been quietly helping hi an inch from his side And so he witnessed the entirewas in abnormally low spirits His entire person ilted and dropped, looking depressed to the extreme

As a superstar who at all times ensured that he re placed heavy ee But today, this ie was forcefully torn apart by a certain person, one can only ination

But he dared not openly quarrel with this son of fate, and so he expressed his grievances by giving Jing Cheng the cold shoulder

——Super unhappy!! You better appease zhèn asap!!

{T/N: I, used by E has always been a plainspoken 's tortuously convoluted little 's silence down to discomfort, and did not press him further He set a slow and steady pace for Red Shadow, and by the tiht was not suitable for travel The troops have already set up ca Cheng sent Su Yang back to the carriage, before ordering for water to be heated over the campfires

Deputy General Cao had the uncouth looks of a boor, but he was acutely sensitive of others' feelings He i's behaviour was off

He shuffled closer to Jing Cheng, and asked cautiously, “Wángyé, is… is the Wángfēi angry?”

Jing Cheng looked baffled, and frowned, “No, his constitution is delicate He's not feeling too well after being jostled about during the ride”

“Oh,” Deputy General Cao replied blandly He inwardly wondered who Jing Cheng was trying to fool, anyone with eyes in their heads could tell that the Wángfēi was sulking

Very soon, the water was boiling Jing Cheng brushed off this nonsense, and filled up a bottle with the water for Su Yang to warm his stoe's entrance, he saw Su Yang curled up in a corner, hugging his knees The youth had shrugged off his outer robes, and was only dressed in the thin, delicate inner gar, dark hair spilled over his shoulders like watered silk to pool on the furs of the tiger skin rugs, forainst the translucent paleness of his skin At a glance, he looked like a ny's heart thudded hard against his chest He handed the bottle over to Su Yang, and asked, “Are you feeling any better?”

Su Yang took in his oblivious state, and accepted the bottle silently with his lips pursed

Jing Cheng squeezed into the carriage and pulled the youth into his arently

“Why so quiet? Still sick?”

Sick? Su Yang wasn't only sick, he was spitting mad! He had never been so e's fault! He had co to begin with That's right, so what if he was being unreasonable!
