Shen Chuwei was dozing off in Xiao Jinyan's arms when they suddenly stopped, and she slowly opened her eyes to see the horse in front of her, bowing its head to graze, clearly hungry after running for several hours.
Xiao Jinyan took out a water flask, unscrewed the stopper, and handed it to her, "Have some water."
"Hmm," Shen Chuwei was indeed thirsty. She took the flask and tilted her head back to drink.
Wu Tan looked toward the river not far away and said, "Once we cross the river, we'll be within the borders of Nanzhao Country."
Shen Chuwei heaved a sigh of relief, "Finally there, my butt is completely numb."
Having never traveled such a long distance before, Shen Chuwei experienced firsthand the hardships and trials of a long journey.
Hearing this, Xiao Jinyan looked down at her bottom and reached out to touch it. He didn't know if it was numb, but her clothes were certainly soaked through with sweat.
