Chapter 155 They belong to each other
When Zuo Qiu finally came to his senses, Chu Huanjun had already grabbed a sword, cut the reins between the horse and the carriage, jumped onto the horse, hugged Tao Yao in his arms, and whipped the horse, rushing out from the crowd like a gust of wind.
Everyone could only watch the arrogant "horse thief" walk away. The dust raised by the horse's raised hooves almost choked Zuo Qiu, who was standing there in a daze.
The Zuo family's servants had never seen their young master so frustrated. They all held their breath, not daring to even breathe loudly. Seeing Zuo Qiu shuffling from the carriage, trembling and almost fainting, the consul's maid hurried forward to support him.
With this support, Zuo Qiu immediately collapsed into the girl's arms like a deflated ball, limp and powerless. However, he still insisted, "Hurry up and inform father that Prince Yi is here... So what if he is Prince Yi? I will make sure he pays for it... Oh, and investigate the person next to him!"
On the other side, Chu Huanjun and Tao Yao rode their horses at full speed, went out of Qingshui Town, and headed south along the Chishui River.
Tao Yao grabbed Chu Huanjun's sleeves and took deep gulps of the fresh air filled with the fragrance of aquatic plants by the Chishui River. She suddenly felt extremely comfortable and couldn't help but let out a long howl of joy.
Chu Huanjun took the opportunity to raise his hand and rub Tao Yao's head, ruffling her already messy hair into a mess. "How is it? Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Tao Yao raised her chin and smiled at him, revealing two rows of shiny white teeth.
Tao Yao had no idea how dazzling her smile was in Chu Huanjun's eyes.
Under the golden sunshine, they rode close together on the same horse, with the endless green land stretching beneath their feet. The east wind whistled past their ears, blowing the Chishui River into a soft white silk ribbon, blowing their hair into a group of black floating clouds, and blowing their robes into a pair of wings fluttering in the wind.
They were almost about to take off with the wind, turning into a pair of eagles, and about to fly into the boundless blue sky and soar without worries.
At this moment, the earth was theirs, the blue sky theirs. If only their hooves could trot fast enough, they could cast aside all the worldly entanglements, transforming into a breeze, bringing nothing and taking nothing away, only freedom and a long song.
With a vast territory, the joy of revenge and a beautiful woman by your side, how can you not be happy?
Along the banks of the Chishui River grew clumps of reeds, wildly growing to the height of a man. Tao Yao stretched out his arms from his horse and could easily reach the reeds.
The furry reed flowers gently passed through Tao Yao's fingers, and suddenly countless white fluff flew up and danced between Tao Yao and Chu Huanjun's sight.
Millions of white flakes were flying all over the sky, as if a heavy snow had fallen, and they fluttered down on their hair, faces, and bodies.
Tao Yao smiled innocently, her laughter as brisk as a string of silver bells. She casually grabbed a handful of white fluff from the air and, while Chu Huanjun wasn't paying attention, slapped it on his face, causing him to sneeze loudly and unexpectedly.
Tao Yao burst into laughter, her evil intentions fulfilled. Chu Huanjun wrinkled his nose and raised his hand to touch her forehead, intending to give her a slap, but for some reason, the moment his fingers touched her cheek, it instantly turned into a gentle caress.
Looking at Taoyao's smiling face, Chu Huanjun felt a tingling sensation in his heart, a mixture of sweetness and pain. It was as if the white fluff of reeds dancing in the sky had already flown into his heart, tickling it.
Finally, Chu Huanjun's fingers gently touched Tao Yao's eyebrows and rubbed them, as if this could help her dissolve all the troubles and worries.
"The present world is peaceful and the years are quiet. If life can always be like this, then it is called happiness..."
Chu Huanjun gently picked away some of the white fluff on Tao Yao's head, and with a wave of his long arm, scattered the snowflake-like flying fluff into the wind.
Tao Yao watched the tiny catkins tossed by Chu Huanjun dancing freely and unrestrainedly in the wind, her face and body caressed by the gentle, warm breeze. As the horse galloped, the scenery before her shifted like a scroll, but the only constant was the gentle, warm embrace beside her.
Chu Huanjun quietly lowered his head and rested his chin on Taoyao's furry head. When she wasn't paying attention, he kissed her hair without anyone noticing.
For some reason, Tao Yao felt her heartbeat suddenly accelerate. The wind was refreshingly cool against her face, yet her cheeks gradually began to burn. The wind carried the pleasant fragrance of water plants, the fishy smell of river water and earth, and… the pleasant fragrance of pine wood in Chu Huanjun's arms.
The wind is invisible, yet it is more tangible than anything else. Its shape is the freely dancing catkins in the sky, its shape is the sleeves of her and Chu Huanjun tangled and fluttering in the wind, its shape is their hair flowing freely like splashed ink.
Tao Yao's heart was moved. This was the first time she knew that the wind also had a shape.
Whether it is the wind, the reeds, the grass, or the blue sky - this world is theirs, and they belong to each other.
Chu Huanjun used only one hand to spur the horse, while his other hand was free to hold Tao Yao's waist. They were silent for a long time, and then suddenly spoke at the same time. They froze in their places and burst into laughter.
"You speak first."
"You should speak first."
"Let me tell you..." Chu Huanjun cleared his throat, as if he was about to ask something very important. "What wish did you make at the Flower God Temple that day? What did you write on the red ribbon and hang it on the wishing tree?"
Tao Yao thought he was going to say something big, and had just prepared herself mentally, but she didn't expect that he would just ask this.
Tao Yao was obviously a little surprised and said loudly, "Is that why you ask? No, I can't tell you. If I tell you, the wish will not come true."
Chu Huanjun smiled, shook his head helplessly, and sighed, "Okay, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. But I believe that one day in the future, without me having to beg you, you will be willing to tell me in person what wish you made."
Tao Yao pushed him and mocked him angrily, "Narcissist! I won't tell you, and you'll never know!"
Chu Huanjun nodded, pleased, indicating that he had truly taken her angry words to heart. He asked softly, "What about you? What did you want to say just now?"
Tao Yao pursed her lips, looked away, and said calmly, "I... I forgot!"
"You're lying. Who would forget what they were about to say the next moment?"
"I have been confused for a long time. Your Highness Prince Yi, please bear with me."
