Long Yin stopped smiling when he heard her downcast voice. He lifted her small face and looked at her with a frown. “It’s hard to tell what would happen in the future, but I’ll always accompany you wherever you want to go.”
Hexin was taken aback. When his words sunk in, she shook her head and lowered her gaze. “Don’t make such promises so easily, Big Bro Long Yin. There are some promises you might not be able to keep.”
“Alright, I won’t make that promise, then.” Long Yin sighed and held her in his arms. “But if you’re willing, I’ll make sure to keep that promise.”
Hexin lifted her hand, wanting to push him away, but as she took in his clean, fresh scent, she could not bear to do it.
Her face leaned against his chest and she listened to his steady heartbeat. While they were descending the mountain, Long Yin crouched in front of her.
“What are you doing, Big Bro Long Yin?” Hexin asked curiously as she stared at his wide back.
“Aren’t your legs feeling weak? Come on, I’ll give you a piggyback.” Long Yin pulled her hand without hesitation and placed it over his neck as he carried her on his back.
By the time Hexin realized what happened, her hands were already on his back and she felt extremely embarrassed. “Who says that my legs are weak? I can still walk on my own.”
Long Yin turned to glance at her with a small smile on his lips.
Hexin was taken aback.
It was a terrible feeling to be seen through by someone.
She bit her lips and decided to climb onto his back, pretending their conversation never happened.
Long Yin smiled. He was already carrying her and walking down the mountain steadily.
The mountain road was a difficult walk and even though Hexin was not comfortable about it, she did not dare move and stayed quietly on his back.
Long Yin finally put her down when they got to the foot of the mountain.
Hexin looked back at the path leading up to the peak and felt a little touched. Big Bro Long Yin had actually carried her all the way down.
“Aren’t your legs tired, Big Bro Long Yin?” she asked in concern.
Long Yin raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “What if I was a little tired?”
Hexin caught the teasing look in his eyes and bit her lip. She pointed at a pavilion nearby. “If you’re feeling tired, you can rest there for a while before we head back.”
“That’s not necessary.” Long Yin held her hand. “You must be feeling hungry
now. Let’s head to the small town down there tor some breakfast and have a
walk around. ”
Hexin quietly sighed as she saw his hand holding hers and she let him have his way.
Holding hands seemed like a natural thing to do and it was useless for her to object to it.
They headed to town for some breakfast and walked around.
By the time they returned to the temporary imperial residence, it was already afternoon.
Yuan You immediately ran toward them when she saw them return.
She had wanted to grab Hexin’s arm, but when she saw the two of them holding hands, she stopped abruptly and muttered in a low voice, “Why didn’t you take me out with you?”
Hexin was taken aback. “Big Bro Long Yin said he invited you, but you guys refused to come?”
Yuan You opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she caught Long
Yin glancing lightly at her and she immediately changed her tune. “That’s true. I wouldn’t be able to wake up to go with you so early to see the sunrise.”
“It is a little early, but if we didn’t leave at this time, we would have missed the sunrise,” Hexin said with a smile and gently pulled away from Long Yin’s hand.
Long Yin looked at her with a smile. Whether it was intentional or not, he scratched her palm gently when he released her hand.
Hexin blushed instantly and lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
Long Yin said nothing since Yuan You was there and he walked away.
After he was gone, Yuan You immediately went close to Hexin’s face and stared at her blushing face. She teased Hexin.. “Cousin Hexin, where did Crown Prince Long take you?”
