Chapter 115 Catching up
Xiao Guoer was jolted in the carriage for another three days. All in all, they traveled for a full eight days before they finally caught up with Tang Jingchen.
On this day, the sun was still high in the sky, emitting scorching light as if it was going to scorch the earth.
Xiao Guo'er had just sat down in a restaurant in a town, originally wanting to have a soft meal here. She had almost developed muscles in her cheeks from chewing sesame cakes these days, but when she heard people at the next table discussing how the Eighth Prince who passed by here an hour ago was so noble and extraordinary, she immediately gave up eating, called Huang Gui to jump on the carriage, whipped the horse whip, and the two of them set off again.
When Huang Gui heard that the person he was chasing was right in front of him, he raised and lowered the whip more quickly.
Xiao Guo'er was staggering in the bumpy carriage and was almost thrown out. She grasped the wall of the carriage tightly with her fingers and thus avoided a tragedy.
After driving for more than two hours, Xiao Guoer finally saw a small group of people and horses in front of them. These people were all tall and strong, and their horses were fat and strong. It was obvious at first glance that they were not ordinary people or ordinary horses.
Xiao Guo'er was delighted and realized that this was probably the Eighth Prince and Jingchen and his group.
But she did not rush to find Jingchen to meet him. She wanted to meet Jingchen without attracting anyone's attention, especially the attention of the Eighth Prince.
So she followed the team from a distance. After walking for more than half an hour, the team in front finally stopped, as if they wanted to rest on the spot.
Xiao Guoer quickly jumped off the carriage and ran to a very young guard at the end of the team. With a very humble smile on her face, she said, "Sir, could you please call out our young master Tang Jingchen? Our master has something to tell me."
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the guard's hand.
The guard looked at the petite man in front of him without any suspicion. He just said, "Wait." and walked to the front of the team.
There were three carriages in the team. Xiao Guoer looked around, but with her 5.0 vision she didn't see the Eighth Prince and Jingchen, so she guessed that both of them must have been riding in a carriage.
Sure enough, the guard walked to the third carriage and stopped.
At this time, Xiao Guoer became inexplicably nervous.
She stared at the carriage. After going through so much hardship, she was finally going to see the person she had been waiting for for a long time. In addition to being excited, she suddenly felt a little shy for no reason.
The next second, the carriage curtain was lifted by a white, slender hand with distinct joints, and a handsome, imposing man bent over and walked out, looking towards her in the direction of the guard's finger.
Even though there was such a distance between them, Xiao Guoer could still clearly see the look of surprise on Tang Jingchen's face.
Xiao Guo'er's heart was pounding. She raised her hands excitedly and waved them vigorously. She didn't dare to call him for fear of attracting everyone's attention, especially the attention of the Eighth Prince.
Tang Jingchen never thought that he would see the person he had been thinking about day and night in a place thousands of miles away from Shangjing City.
At this moment, the man was waving his arms in the distance with a sweet smile on his face, as bright and dazzling as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.
An indescribable emotion surged in his heart, a mixture of shock, astonishment, and disbelief, but ultimately it all turned into deep emotion and intense ecstasy.
Barely able to control himself, he stumbled out of the carriage, nearly falling down, and then strode to the back, towards the woman who was gazing at him deeply.
He was in the carriage just now when he suddenly heard a guard outside say that a man with a scar on his face wanted to see him.
He could hardly believe his ears and impatiently lifted the curtain. When he saw Xiao Guoer's face clearly, he felt as if he was in a dream.
Now he strode towards the person he had been thinking about day and night, but he still felt that the person not far away was waiting for him to approach step by step. It seemed so beautiful that it didn't seem real. This scene was incredible!
No matter how he imagined, he would never have thought that she would come to see him!
It was not until Tang Jingchen held that familiar hand that he finally came out of the dreamlike feeling. The hand was still delicate and warm, with a slight sweat, and it was really held in his palm.
"Why are you here?" Tang Jingchen asked in a low voice. His voice was a little hoarse, and his dark and deep eyes stared at the woman in front of him.
Xiao Guoer felt extremely sweet in her heart when she was stared at by his dark eyes.
She looked behind Jingchen and saw several guards looking at them. She pulled Jingchen back and said, "Let's talk over there. It's not convenient here."
There were dense woods on both sides of the road. The two walked behind a big tree. After making sure that the people in front could not see them, Xiao Guoer threw herself into Tang Jingchen's broad arms.
"Jingchen, do you know that I chased you for a long, long time before I finally got you? I was almost falling apart in the carriage." The aggrieved voice sounded like an accusation, but also like she was acting coquettishly to her lover.
Tang Jingchen patted the little guy's head lovingly, "Why did you chase me?"
He actually knew the answer, so why else could it be? He just missed her the same way he did. Or maybe he had different worries.
Xiao Guoer didn't hear the words of comfort, and pouted in dissatisfaction. She stood up straight and glared at the smiling man, "What? Are you unhappy that I chased you?"
Tang Jingchen felt his arms empty, and seeing the little girl's disappointed look, he immediately said, "How could it be? I'm so happy, so surprised, so pleasantly surprised, and so happy!"
Seeing the little girl gradually change into a satisfied expression, he sighed quietly and stroked her hair gently, his tone full of heartache, "Why did you lose so much weight? Did you suffer a lot on the road?"
Xiao Guoer immediately became energetic, dancing and gesticulating, describing how difficult her journey was. "Jingchen, you don't know, I couldn't eat or sleep well, and every day I just kept on traveling! My teeth are almost loose from chewing those hard world biscuits, I don't want to eat biscuits anymore in my life!"
The pity in Tang Jingchen's eyes grew stronger. "Okay, I'll never eat sesame cakes again." His voice was so gentle that it seemed to melt people's hearts. Xiao Guoer felt intoxicated when she heard it.
When the two were in the midst of their affectionate love, a guard in the front team shouted loudly, "Everyone get ready, we will set off immediately after half a cup of tea."
