Gu Yifeng saw her spacing out again as she spoke. He put down the book in his hand, raised his hand, and gently brushed the hair beside her temple, gently stroking her hair.
"Spacing out again! What are you thinking about?"
The intimate gesture left Lin Youning with no time to think about anything else. She quickly sat up, awkwardly turned her body, and touched her own temple, "Nothing, just thinking about how we'll have to wait a few more days to get there. Although we just set out today, it's only been a day, and I already feel a bit unbearable. But you've always ridden a horse to get there in the past, and now you're slowly walking with me. It must be even more boring for you, right? If you're really busy, you can take the guards and go ahead. You don't have to worry about me; I'm fine."
The path they took was the official road, and Lin Youning knew it would be safe.
