Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian, and with the corner of his eye, he could feel the intense gazes of many people.
He had reason to believe that the gazes he sensed were only a tiny portion.
Yun Qian noticed Xu Chang’an’s gaze was somewhat stiff and didn’t really understand.
"It’s nothing." Xu Chang’an sighed softly, thinking that Miss Yun’s physique was weak, and since she didn’t rest well on the boat yesterday, being able to walk from North Garden at Celestial Bright Peak to here and only now saying she’s tired was already an extraordinary effort, or perhaps the limit of her endurance.
"The clothes I’m wearing today..." Yun Qian looked down at her black and white long dress and tight corset, saying, "These clothes aren’t convenient for holding me, but my back is also fine."
"Miss won’t feel shy being seen by so many people," Xu Chang’an said.
"Hmm." Yun Qian nodded. The only person who could make her blush here was the person in front of her, as for others...
Who would blush at the air or the wild weeds covering the mountain?
"Actually, if Miss could shyly say ’carry me’, it would be more adorable," Xu Chang’an said seriously.
"Is that so?" Yun Qian blinked, thinking since Xu Chang’an wanted to see it, she could do it, but it would take some effort over time.
Yun Qian swallowed a small piece of sweet preserve, then looked at the little pavilion filled with girls by the roadside, saying, "If you don’t want to carry me, then... we can rest for a while, I can walk by myself again."
"I wouldn’t be unwilling, I was just thinking that carrying Miss in this situation, would it leave a bad impression on the senior sisters?" Xu Chang’an explained.
"Is this more important than me being tired?" Yun Qian asked, puzzled.
"You’re right, I understand."
If a girl is tired, carrying her is the most justified thing.
Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian’s low ponytail, reaching out to smooth a lock of her long hair.
At this moment, having discovered Yun Qian’s peculiar nature and its relation to Xu Chang’an, the girls here were discussing a theory.
In certain situations, husbands and wives grow increasingly alike, so it’s not hard to understand the odd traits appearing when Yun Qian and Xu Chang’an are together.
The group raised their eyes, somewhat perplexed.
[Why aren’t they moving? What are they saying?]
[Can’t hear clearly, which sister set a barrier around? Anyone good at lip-reading?]
[No need for lip-reading, you’re all staring at them, what girl can adapt to this?]
The girls were talking when suddenly they saw Xu Chang’an move.
They saw him, in public, untie Yun Qian’s hair ribbon, skillfully wrapped the silk ribbon around his wrist, made a flower, raised his arm, passed it through the white silk ribbon, then hooked his arm and pulled, quickly tying a hairstyle.
Xu Chang’an tied Yun Qian’s inconvenient low ponytail into a more refreshing bun.
"Junior Brother knows how to do hair..."
"Looking at his technique, he must do it often."
"They’re a couple, different from what we usually see."
"But why tie that sister’s hair at this time?"
These women were puzzled when suddenly the sunlight dimmed a bit, and oblique winds passed through the crowd.
Not far away, under everyone’s gaze.
Xu Chang’an’s arm wrapped around Yun Qian’s leg bend, and his other hand supported her slender waist, gently lifting her from the small cobblestone path.
Yun Qian, not showing any discomfort or surprise, simply yawned, naturally looping her arm around Xu Chang’an’s neck, leaning her head on his shoulder, her veil tilted revealing the side of her face.
The gentle sunlight fell between her eyebrows and eyes.
She truly felt weary, so merely leaning against Xu Chang’an, she exuded a lazy aura.
Originally a Fairy high above, seen as a thousand different views by the thousand people at Muyu Peak, but at the moment Xu Chang’an lifted her, her demeanor softened.
Similar to a well-behaved Mao’Er, as soft as the clouds in the sky.
Witnessing this scene in full, Muyu Peak’s circle of girls instantly grew quiet, with not a word spoken for a while.
At Tripod Heart Peak, Gu Qiancheng, having lunch, curiously looked at the Jade Talisman in her hand, with Liu Qingluo busily in the kitchen behind her.
Gu Qiancheng lightly tapped the bracelet’s Jade Talisman, saying in the circle: [Why aren’t the senior sisters saying anything?]
[Now I understand why the hair had to be tied, carrying like that would be inconvenient with loose hair.]
[Turns out he’s experienced.]
Gu Qiancheng blinked, unable to figure out for a moment what they were talking about.
The sunlight was very warm, naturally causing a sleepy feeling.
"Miss, are you sleepy?"
Xu Chang’an felt Yun Qian’s soft breath falling on his side face, blushing slightly.
He blushed not because of the crowd, but because he was holding Yun Qian.
"Mm...mm." Yun Qian was weak and feeble.
If she had some strength earlier, now being hoisted by Xu Chang’an, she was enveloped in tenderness, too lazy even to speak a word.
Her husband’s embrace was preferable to any soft couch, providing surely a healthy sleep.
"Don’t fall asleep, we still need to meet the teacher." Xu Chang’an’s eyes widened somewhat.
Yun Qian softly answered, indicating she understood.
Xu Chang’an looked at Yun Qian’s appearance as if she might fall asleep at any time, his brows furrowed, feeling quite helpless.
