Ambush by the Protagonist

On the fifth day of their journey, Wang Jian rode atop his trusty brown stallion, its hooves clopping rhythmically alongside the white mare of Chen Yiyan.

 

As they rode towards Aria City, Chen Yiyan couldn't help but reminisce about her adventures with her friends.

 

"Jian, I remember when I used to sneak out of the palace with my friends and dress up as commoners. We would roam around the city, visit shops, and enjoy street food. It was so much fun!"

 

Wang Jian chuckled at her confession. "You're quite the troublemaker, Yiyan."

 

Chen Yiyan blushed and laughed, "I know, I know. But it was worth it. Those memories are some of my fondest."

 

Wang Jian smiled warmly at her. "I can imagine. It sounds like a lot of fun. I wish I had the chance to experience something like that."
