Chapter 596 The Prince's White Moonlight Substitute (19)

After being sick for seven days, Gu Zhen finally recovered completely.

Cui Yan and she traveled outside as a couple and only booked one room. Cui Yan slept on the floor every day. It was cold in autumn and his internal injuries never healed.

As soon as Gu Zhen recovered, he immediately suggested going to Qing'an County to reunite with everyone.

Cui Yan bought a horse and two cloaks, spending his last penny.

Gu Zhen pawned a silver earring in exchange for some dry food and water, and only then could the two of them continue their journey with peace of mind.

She was wearing a moon-white cloak and tried to sit up straight so as not to get too close to Cui Yan.

They didn't communicate much in the past few days. Cui Yan returned to his dignified and mature appearance, well-behaved, unlike at the beginning when he would grab her hand whenever she spoke.

Gu Zhen couldn't help laughing, as she could sense that Cui Yan had some different feelings towards her.

But the other party adheres to the gentleman's way and is now obviously distancing himself.

After all, there is a difference in identity.

Gu Zhen sat with her back straight, and would sit up straight immediately if she accidentally leaned against him. Cui Yan also noticed her distance, and his heart ached and he became very upset.

After a whole day of awkward walking, they finally arrived at the post station. Cui Yan planned to carry Gu Zhen off the horse, but she refused and jumped off the horse based on her feeling without falling.

Cui Yan withdrew his hand awkwardly.

After entering the post station, Gu Zhen used the remaining silver earring to ask the shopkeeper to open two rooms.

The two finished their meal in silence and went back to their rooms to rest.

Cui Yan pressed his ear against the wall, trying to listen to what was going on over there, but Gu Zhen must have been very careful and avoided any tables or chairs, so she didn't bump into anything.

While feeling relieved, Cui Yan also felt a little disappointed.

Even without him, Gu Zhen can be just as good.

She would rather do things more troublesomely and slowly than ask him for help.

After a sleepless night with his eyes open, at dawn, Cui Yan suddenly heard a "bang" from next door.

He immediately jumped up from the bed, rushed to the next door in two or three steps, and knocked on Gu Zhen's door: "Miss Gu, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just kicked over the stool." Gu Zhen was squatting, rubbing his calf.

Cui Yan didn't answer, but quietly went to the waiter to ask for some porridge and rice.

The waiter looked at him and was surprised: "Sir, did you not sleep well last night? Why is it so dark now?"

Cui Yan smiled bitterly. Not only did he not sleep well, he didn't even fall asleep.

My mind was filled with Gu Zhen's distant look today, and I immediately wished I could get away from him as far away as a million miles away.

Cui Yan brought a bowl of porridge, a steamed bun and a few side dishes, and knocked on Gu Zhen's door again. Hearing the slow footsteps scraping the ground from inside, he felt like he was being scratched by a cat.

As soon as the door opened, Cui Yan couldn't wait to look at Gu Zhen. Seeing that she looked good, he felt relieved.

"I got some breakfast, Miss Gu, please eat some. After that, we will continue our journey. In another half day, we will reach Qing'an County."

Gu Zhen looked indifferent and stepped aside to let him in.

Her calf was in pain, but Gu Zhen forced herself to walk slowly. Cui Yan noticed something was wrong and wanted to come over to help her.

Gu Zhen pushed it away: "No need."

Cui Yan felt a pain in his heart, so he withdrew his hand and sat quietly by the side watching her sit down to eat.

They didn't have any luggage, so they could leave after eating. As Gu Zhen groped her way down the stairs, she accidentally touched the railing, and she gasped in pain. Cui Yan became anxious, and regardless of her objections, he picked her up and went downstairs with a sullen face.

The waiter scratched his head and looked at the couple in surprise as they flashed past him like the wind.

Cui Yan carried her directly onto the horse and pulled her legs: "Let me see."

Gu Zhen wanted to kick him, but he was so strong that she couldn't move. She had to let Cui Yan lift her skirt and take off her shoes and socks.

There was a bruise on his calf, which was very obvious against his fair skin.

Cui Yan quickly put it on for her: "I'll go ask the store owner for some..."

"No need, Mr. Cui. It's just a minor injury. It will heal in a few days." Gu Zhen interrupted him indifferently and pulled back her foot.

Gu Zhen still didn't know why she was angry, but her words were full of anger: "Mr. Cui is so well-educated that he took off a girl's shoes and socks in broad daylight, bullying me because I couldn't see, so he could humiliate me like this?"

Cui Yan's face turned pale. This post station was very small. Apart from the shop owner and them, there was no one else. Otherwise, he would not be here to take care of Gu Zhen's injuries.

But after all, there is no etiquette.

Cui Yan said sincerely, "It is Cui who is rude. Please calm down, Miss Gu. You have just recovered from your illness. Don't let your anger ruin your health."

Gu Zhen snorted, "Master Cui is a man of great courtesy, how could he be so rude? This period of time is a special situation, which forced Master Cui to take care of me. I understand it in my heart, so there is no need to apologize to me every day!"

It's either rude or offensive. If you accidentally touch it, you have to say it's rude. It's really annoying!

Cui Yan looked at her angry face with a gloomy brow, and no one knew what he was thinking. Just when Gu Zhen didn't hear a response and turned her head to question him, Cui Yan suddenly reached out, hugged her and turned around immediately.

Then he also mounted his horse and rode away without saying a word.

Gu Zhen was startled to find that she was facing away from the horse and towards Cui Yan's chest.

She didn't know where to put her hands. She could grab the saddle or reins before, but now she had nothing to hold on to!

Above is Cui Yan’s chest, and below is a man’s most private part.

Gu Zhen was so angry that she refused to lean on Cui Yan out of spite.

Cui Yan curled his lips and suddenly increased his speed. Gu Zhen screamed "Ah" and fell straight into Cui Yan's arms.

Just as she remembered, someone held her back and said, "Don't move. What if you delay your journey?"

Gu Zhen was so angry that she wanted to strangle him, but after thinking it over, she realized that Cui Yan had all kinds of external injuries and had not yet fully recovered, so she had to give up the idea.

She calmed down and leaned in Cui Yan's arms without moving.

The two of them were pressed tightly together with their legs pressed together. Cui Yan soon regretted his action. Not only was it uncomfortable for him to sit there, but certain parts of his body also had uncontrollable reactions.

He had no choice but to slow down and stop, then picked up Gu Zhen and let her lean her back against him.

Gu Zhen was not a fool, so she naturally knew what had happened to him. She blushed and said nothing, letting Cui Yan hug her. She stayed there for a long time to calm down before starting again.

As a result of this embarrassing incident, the two of them never spoke normally again until they arrived in Qing'an County.

As soon as they entered the city gate, they saw someone they knew.

Xu Jun waited here every day, and finally his eldest son came back.

Tears welled up in both eyes: "Sir!"

Cui Yan also breathed a sigh of relief.

When they arrived at the Cui family's shop, everyone was there. When Gu Yunfei and Shuiyue saw Gu Zhen, they rushed over and hugged her.

"sister!"

"girl!"

Gu Zhen's heart finally settled down, but then fatigue came over her. She leaned on Shuiyue, looking very haggard.

Cui Yan's eyes were always on her face. "Help your girl to rest. She is tired."

Gu Zhen didn't even raise her eyelids or respond to him, and let Shuiyue help her go to the backyard.

Cui Yan pursed his lips and felt that Gu Zhen was angry, but he couldn't guess why. Was it because his body's reaction on horseback was too offensive?

"......Brother, hey, big brother!" Cui You called three times in a row before Cui Yan's mind was brought back to his senses.

Cui Yan regained his usual calm demeanor and asked, "What's the matter?"

Cui You: "What happened between you and Miss Gu? Why do you seem to be acting weird?"
