Chapter 77 — Touch Her, and Ben w.a.n.g Will Kill You (1/2)
Inside a carriage.
Xiao Xi sat in boredom, staring at the resting Feng Lingran. As if she was an old man, she sighed and held his palm in her small hand, ”Feng Lingran, we've sat in the carriage for almost a day now. I'm tired, so can we go find a inn to rest in?”
She wasn't like him, she needed to go out and stretch her limbs ah!
Feng Lingran opened his eyes and glanced at the tender white hand holding his palm, he faintly said, ”It takes 5 days and 5 nights to return to Eastern Jin in a carriage. On this trip, we can't delay.”
Xiao Xi shook his hand, ”Horsey needs to rest too! Traveling for five days and five nights straight, wouldn't Horsey die from exhaustion!?”
”There are horse changes en route.”
”So… even if Horsey is exhausted to death, it wouldn't matter?”
When Xiao Xi finished, she let go of Feng Lingran's hand and absentmindedly looked out the carriage window. The roadside scenery quickly pa.s.sed by. This world's carriage was not much slower than the modern world's car, but unlike the car, it could not be driven in the night.
Xiao Xi suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable, she was sad for Horsey.
Feng Lingran saw Xiao Xi's depressed expression and softly said, ”Horsey won't die.”
Xiao Xi whipped her head and with bright eyes, she asked ”Really?”
Feng Lingran nodded, then closed his eyes again.
Xiao Xi grinned. Good, now Horsey wouldn't be exhausted to death. As for her, it felt as she herself was going to die from exhaustion in the carriage.
In a blink of an eye, the third night had pa.s.sed.
When Feng Lingran had ordered the driver to find an inn, Xiao Xi was happy that he had finally grew a conscience.
Jumping off the carriage, Xiao Xi walked to the inn with a bent back. Feng Lingran on the other hand, had his back straight, looking completely fine and unaffected.
Xiao Xi glanced at Feng Lingran, her small hand climbed up his arm and hugged him. She put half of her body weight on him, and when his black eyes looked down, she smiled.
”Feng Lingran, I'm tired, borrowing your arm so I can lean on it.”
Feng Lingran stared at her, putting all her weight onto his arm counted as leaning?
The innkeeper saw the two guests, a handsome male and a beautiful female wearing fine clothes, and with a smile in his eyes he greeted them, ”Esteemed guests, this little inn just happen to have one remaining suite, upstairs please.”
Feng Lingran stared at the innkeeper and said, ”Two rooms.”
The innkeeper took two glances at the Xiao Xi that was hanging from Feng Lingran's arm, and smiled at him before saying, ”This lowly's inn is only left with the suite, the other rooms… are all occupied.”
This inn is open on the main road that led to three countries. Even on a normal day, the amount of guest is not little. But who knew what special day was it today, apart from that really expensive suite left, the rest of the normal rooms were full.
Feng Lingran's eyes flashed, but he did not say anything.
Seeing that Feng Lingran was seemingly unwilling, Xiao Xi was afraid that he will leave and make do with the cramped carriage. Hurriedly she said to the innkeeper, ”One room is fine. Hand us the key, you don't have to escort us upstairs.”
The innkeeper smiled and handed the room key to Xiao Xi, then told the them the direction of the suite.
Xiao Xi dragged Feng Lingran upstairs and pouted as she whispered, ”Why so dramatic? It's not like we haven't slept with each other before.”
Feng Lingran's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and observed the pouting girl with a deep gaze.
Once they were upstairs, Xiao Xi quickly found the suite, and released her hold on Feng Lingran's arm, she unlocked the door and walked in. When she saw the not too big and not too small bed, her eyes brightened and leaped onto the bed.
Seeing the happy Xiao Xi on the bed, Feng Lingran's eyebrows only tightened more. This little fox… did not act like a girl at all…
”I can finally sleep on a bed, so comfortable ah!” Xiao Xi closed her eyes and relaxed.
After a while.
Xiao Xi felt that she was quickly about to fall asleep, she clumsily took her shoes off and layed in bed. She then remembered Feng Lingran, and turned her head to look at him and confusedly ask, ” Feng Lingran, are you sleeping on the bed?”
Not waiting for his reply, she continued, ”I can't take it anymore! I'm sleeping first.”
As soon as she finished, she entered her dream realm.
Feng Lingran observed the already asleep girl. He stood up and walked to the bedside, dark eyes deepened as he studied Xiao Xi's appearance,
Suddenly, Feng Lingran noticed the sound of movement from outside the door. Flashing to the already opened door, his palm rose and landed a few hits on the intruder. A yell of pain sounded out.
”Ling Ran, show mercy, it's me, it's me.”
When Feng Lingran saw that the person was Wan Siyu, he was stunned. But he didn't show mercy, instead he gave two more palms.
