บท 512: Sweaty and Dirty

Li Xueyue could not make eye contact with anyone. She was grateful that it was dark outside, or else many people would've seen her blush. Her hair was slightly messy despite how hard she tried to tame it. Her clothes were worn properly, yet it felt like everyone knew what had happened.

"Can you not look so shameless?" Li Xueyue whispered to Yu Zhen as they rode into the palace. 

Yu Zhen sat high and mighty on Xiao Lizi, a devious smirk on his face.

Li Xueyue hung her head in embarrassment, her lips pressed into a thin line.

"What are you talking about?" Yu Zhen chuckled as if he hadn't tired her out in the forest. He was surprised she still had the strength to ride Heiyue back to the palace.

It seemed he had not tired her out enough. That was fine. He would take his sweet time with her later tonight—until her legs would tremble, and she could not walk.
