The rain in late autumn continued to fall, and the next day was a cold and rainy day as usual.
Yu Shuyue did not take the peony and aster with her, and went out alone.
As soon as she left the house, she saw Qi Xiuyao's carriage waiting for her at the gate.
When Yu Shuyue entered the carriage, she saw someone sitting leisurely in the carriage, sipping hot tea and holding a book, "Your Highness is here too."
"Ayue doesn't want to ride with me?"
When she spoke, Qi Xiuyao put the book aside, then brought her hot tea that was still steaming but not burning her and handed it to her.
"Hehehe, Ah Yue didn't say that this is His Highness's carriage. Of course His Highness makes the decision."
Yu Shuyue now knows why he said he would come to pick her up yesterday. This is what his relationship was planning for.
She had already come up at this time and was too lazy to go down and ask the house to prepare a carriage for her, which wasted time.
Moreover, this carriage is quite comfortable. It is worthy of being the carriage of the Prince's Palace.
The furnishings in this car are quite luxurious.
The space in the entire carriage was very large. At this time, the two of them were still very spacious in the carriage. There was even a small couch in the carriage, which was covered with fluffy foreign carpets, which looked soft and warm.
Not only that, the entire bottom of the carriage is covered with carpets, and there is a small desk in the middle with various beautiful and exquisite pastries placed on it.
The interior of the car is also inlaid with two luminous pearls the size of pebbles. With these two luminous pearls, the interior of the car is as bright as the outside.
Even on this rainy day, with the illumination of these two luminous pearls, the inside of the car is even brighter than the outside.
"It's quite a distance from Beijing to Huayan Temple. It takes a lot of time on the way. Ah Yue can rest for a while. I'll call you when I get there."
"Ah Yue is still energetic. Your Highness has a book about geography and strange things. Ah Yue wants to use it to pass the time."
This is the first time the two of them have been together in such a cramped space for so long.
Yu Shuyue was a little uncomfortable, and it was not appropriate for her to lie on the couch to rest in this situation, not to mention whether she could fall asleep or not.
How could she lie down alone!
Qi Xiuyao had been prepared for a long time. Before she could finish her words, she saw him pull out several supernatural novels from the compartment under the desk, letting her choose from them.
Yu Shuyue didn't expect that there really was one, so she picked a book at random, thanked him, and lowered her head to read through it.
Qi Xiuyao saw that she was looking at her seriously. He put the book in his hand aside, put his elbow on the table and supported his chin. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he tilted his head and stared at her with a smile in his eyes.
At first, Yu Shuyue was able to lower her head and read the book calmly, but her attention was gradually attracted by the stories in the book.
Just being stared at by his blazing eyes, no matter how interesting and attractive the stories in the book were, she couldn't read them anymore.
She felt her face getting warm, coughed twice and cleared her throat, "Your Highness, is the book in your hand not exciting enough?"
"The book is quite interesting, but I'm tired of reading it. I need to change my eyes."
The corners of his mouth rose even further, and his eyes never looked away.
Yu Shuyue didn't know what to do. She slowly straightened up, leaned her back against the wall of the carriage, gradually raised her hands, and finally covered her face with a book.
Since he didn't look away, she would find a way to get away from his eyes that were about to burn her.
Qi Xiuyao saw that she was so cute even though she was shy. His heart was shocked. At this moment, his heart felt soft. He lowered his head and smiled. Finally, he put down his hand and picked up the book again, no longer teasing her.
However, although his eyes were on the tree, he was always thinking about her in his heart, and he did not read a single word in the book.
Although the space inside the carriage is large, it is just a carriage after all. There is only such a small space, and it is surrounded by people. When they are not talking, you can clearly hear the breathing of the two of them.
Not only that, the air was filled with the delicate fragrance of her orchids, and she changed into a new sachet.
Her breathing was clearly audible in his ears, and her refreshing orchid fragrance lingered in his nose.
Qi Xiuyao couldn't help but slowly tighten his fingers holding the book, his eyelids drooped down, and he suppressed the faint floating darkness in his eyes.
He kept taking deep breaths, staring firmly at the book, forcing himself to devote all his attention to the book.
After his unremitting efforts, he finally put all the unclean thoughts in his mind behind him and concentrated on the contents of the book.
Yu Shuyue put the book in front of and behind her face and finally could no longer feel his fiery eyes. She sighed slightly while reading, and then continued reading.
It was just that it was a little tiring to hold the book like this, and her hands became sore while holding it up.
It was warm inside the car. She had gotten up too early in the morning, and now she felt a little sleepy without realizing it. She was already tired from holding up her hands and was already sleepy.
The elbows slowly bent, the raised hands gradually drooped, and the eyelids began to fight up and down. Finally, I couldn't help but closed my eyes and covered my face with the book.
"Boom──"
The book finally fell on the carpet inside the carriage, making an extremely small dull sound.
When Qi Xiuyao heard the voice and came back to his senses, what he saw was her leaning against the wall of the carriage and sleeping soundly with her head tilted.
He put down the book in his hand and leaned forward, looking at her sleeping face with an endearing smile.
He stretched out his hand across the unsightly desk between them, gently brushed away the fine hair from her forehead, and slowly slid his fingers along her forehead.
It slowly moved from her forehead to the side of her face, then to her ears. Finally, her hands were itchy and couldn't resist the temptation, so she gently pinched her delicate earlobes.
Seeing her eyebrows move, he moved his hand away for fear of waking her up.
It was always uncomfortable for her to sleep against the wall of the carriage, and the carriage was still moving. On rainy days, the road was inevitably bumpy and the carriage was shaking.
Qi Xiuyao was worried that she would accidentally hit her head, so he reached out to pick her up and carefully placed her on the couch nearby. He took out a thick and warm blanket from the side and covered her with it.
This time, he stopped reading. Instead, he held his chin, lowered his head, and looked at her sleeping face with a smile and contentment. His gentle eyes made it difficult not to indulge in it.
He just kept staring at her sleeping face all the way to the foot of Huayan Temple. What they were going to was not Huayan Temple, but the back hill of Huayan Temple.
However, whether it is going to Huayan Temple or the mountain behind it, carriages are unable to pass.
It was not easy for him to have the opportunity to stare at her so close. Qi Xiuyao was reluctant to wake her up and break this beautiful scene, so he asked Hua An to park the carriage in a secluded place and just kept staring at her with his chin on his face.
Yu Shuyue slept for a long time. For two whole hours, she opened her eyes sleepily and met his smiling black eyes, which frightened her.
