The wound on Xiao Cheng's back hurt badly, but he was reluctant to let her go.

Her black hair fell down and brushed across his face, and he gently sniffed the fragrance of her hair.

He always felt that the smell on her body was familiar, and the close contact with her made him feel happy involuntarily.

It was as if she had some kind of magical power.

Yu Caiwei frowned tightly, turned over and got off him, quickly tidied her dress, and whispered: "You can't blame me for this, you wanted to come over here yourself."

Just now she could clearly hear his heartbeat, which was so fast that it was a little scary.

However, why did her heart beat faster when she got close to him? She clearly hated him, so she shouldn't have such a strange feeling.

In her previous life, she was devoted to him alone, but in the end she was hurt deeply by him. Now that she has to start over again, it is time for this disappointing heart to understand what kind of person he is.

Yu Caiwei stood up from the ground and saw the sweat on his forehead and the slightly painful look on his face. Xiao Cheng smiled indifferently and said, "Compared to getting you hurt, my injury is nothing."

Seeing that she had no intention of helping him, he supported himself with his hands and stood up.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly, otherwise her beautiful hair would have been burned by the fire.

Thinking of this, he inexplicably felt a sense of relief.

Seeing that he had no major problems, Yu Caiwei ordered him to leave. "Sir, I want to rest. If you have nothing else to do, can you leave?"

There was some distance between her and him, and thinking of the accident just now, he didn't dare to get any closer.

Xiao Cheng's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had thousands of words to say to her. In the end, he just said lightly: "Remember to cover yourself with the quilt. It's not like the capital here. It's a little cold at night."

Yu Caiwei bowed slightly and responded, "My Lord, please take care."

Her tone was extremely cold, even distant and indifferent.

Xiao Cheng's heart suddenly shrank, as if a thorn had pierced his heart, followed by a burst of intense pain.

This feeling came out of nowhere and made him feel a little unhappy. He had never felt this way towards any other woman before.

He glanced at her indifferently, turned and left the tent.

Yu Caiwei watched the reflection outside the tent moving further and further away, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.

She should never fall in love with anyone easily again, otherwise she would deserve the pain she would endure.

She lay on the bed, thinking about the inn. She had been out for so long and had not returned yet, and she didn't know how worried Baocui and the others must be.

I understand I have to go back early.

-

Xiao Cheng returned to his tent, undressed and looked at the bandaged area on his chest. She was very gentle when bandaging it, completely putting away her usual cold attitude towards him.

She is like a gentle kitten, suitable to be held in your arms.

"Prince, there's a reply to the news you asked me to check."

Hearing the voice of his men outside, he quickly put on his clothes and said, "Come in."

The subordinate came in quickly, knelt on one knee and reported: "You asked me to check the whereabouts of Yu Caijiao from the Yu Mansion. The news came that she has not left the capital, and has not made any plans to go to Yuzhou during this period."

Xiao Cheng looked at the flickering candle on the candlestick thoughtfully. In the previous life, it was Yu Caijiao who claimed that she saved her, but in this life, why did the same thing happen, and the person who came was Yu Caiwei?

His eyes, as if soaked in moonlight, were slightly gloomy.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, his subordinate continued: "There is one more thing..."

Xiao Cheng glanced over and said coldly: "Speak."

The subordinate did not dare to delay any longer and immediately replied: "Miss Yu arrived in Yuzhou before 3:00 p.m. today and had already found an inn in the market to settle down. But later, for some reason, she brought two followers out of the inn and went to that courtyard."

Xiao Cheng frowned slightly, took the hairpin with his fingers and lifted the wick, his eyes suddenly focused.

What was she doing in that place for no reason?

The subordinate observed his expression and continued, "I think her behavior is very suspicious. Could it be that she has secretly joined forces with the bandits to murder Your Highness? Do you want to arrest her and interrogate her?"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Chengmeng turned around and glared at him, saying: "She wouldn't do such a thing. I know my limits. You can go down."

The subordinate agreed and then retreated.

Xiao Cheng looked at the flickering candlelight, his eyes dark and unclear.

The next day.

As soon as the sky began to turn pale, Yu Caiwei got up early to pack up, and then went to her followers' tents to call them.

As soon as I walked out, I saw a man walking towards me.

Xiao Cheng's eyes were always on her, as if they were locked on her.

Yu Caiwei didn't like such gazes and planned to pretend not to see him and continue walking to the side. However, he followed her and blocked her way.

"What do you mean, Prince?" She looked up at him, with some impatience in her light-colored eyes.

He saw it, but didn't take it too seriously. He just said to himself: "It's still early now. I wonder if I can have the honor to invite Miss Yu to go somewhere with me?"

Yu Caiwei rolled her eyes secretly and just wanted to tell him that he was sick. He came here to block her so early in the morning. She wondered what had happened to him?

She decided to ignore it and just walked forward.

Xiao Cheng was relentless and continued to follow her, saying: "Just consider it as a way to repay me for helping you."

Yu Caiwei ignored him.

He then continued, "Miss Yu, are you so afraid of me? Do you want to escape from me so much?"

Hearing this, Yu Caiwei finally stopped.

Afraid of him?

She was scared. She couldn't imagine that beneath his handsome face, he actually had such a vicious heart and was so cold and ruthless to her, his lifelong lover.

So, even if he thought she was afraid of him, or whatever, she didn't want to have any more entanglement with him now. At most, she could still use him when needed.

While her thoughts were in flux, Xiao Cheng had already grabbed her wrist and quickly ran out of the camp.

Her whole body was filled with disgust and resistance. She wanted to shake his hand off, but in the end she was no match for his strength and could only be dragged away by him.

It's completely out of my control.

Soon, the two came to the stable. He led a black horse over, patted it, and asked, "Can you ride a horse?"

Yu Caiwei didn't know what he wanted to do, but she was not interested.
