Lu Tingchen's mind was filled with nothing but the image of Chu Jiu walking toward him, dressed in women's clothes.
Just then, he let out a sneeze.
He rubbed his nose in bewilderment. Was there someone bad-mouthing him?
He picked up his running pace.
He needed to finish his laps quickly if he wanted to join his mother and Chu Jiu in the city.
…
After exiting the camp, Ling Lihua and Chu Jiu fetched a horse each and rode to the city.
When they reached the city gates, they tied their horses to a tree and entered the city on foot.
Once they stepped through the gates, they were greeted by a bustling atmosphere.
Unlike the solemn military camp, the city was teeming with life and activity.
