After that disaster in the morning, Kui was left with a permanent blush on his face. He did not know what was wrong with him lately, but every time he looked at Aok, his face seemed to heat up embarrassingly fast.
Even remembering the way Aok had looked at him by the pond made his ears burn.
It was becoming impossible to act normally around the man, so he decided that the best solution was simply not to look at him for a while.
Maybe if he ignored Aok long enough, this ridiculous embarrassment would finally go away.
Thankfully, Guilin came through with his promise and arranged a covered horse cart for their journey.
The servants at the inn hurriedly packed plenty of food and water for the road and carefully placed everything inside before stepping aside to let them inspect it.
Kui climbed onto the edge of the cart and looked inside. His expression slowly changed when he saw the two narrow sitting spaces.
