Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Seeing her firmness, You Xian said nothing more.

He knew Li Tianze's character, but Leng Youran was his disciple now, so he would always consider her more.

Although the conversation between the two was very casual, it could not be hidden from Li Tianze, who had practiced martial arts for many years.

When he heard that the purpose of their trip was not simple, his brows furrowed, but the strange emotion did not last long. Leng Youran's words confirmed it and all his wild thoughts were dispelled.

Sitting alone in the carriage, he laughed out loud foolishly.

The sadness that he had felt because of being ignored by Leng Youran also disappeared.

His strange laughter attracted the attention of the two people in the carriage.

"Ran'er, could it be that Li has gone insane? Why is he suddenly grinning like an idiot?"

Leng Youran held her forehead with her hand, and almost instantly she realized that the guy must be imagining things again.

"It's okay, he's been like this a lot these past two days."

You Xian curled the corners of his mouth.

Well, maybe he is too old and can’t understand the thoughts of these young people.

"Okay, he must be bored after driving the carriage alone for so long. I'll take a break. You can go out and talk to him!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, signaling Leng Youran to leave his sight.

Leng Youran didn't refuse. Seeing him close his eyes, he bent over and walked out of the carriage and sat on the frame.

Li Tianze's hand was still holding the reins, and the smile on his face had not faded. Although his eyes were always staring ahead, Leng Youran could see that his mind was already wandering.

"Hey..." Leng Youran called out mischievously in his ear.

Li Tianze was startled back to his senses, and then he saw Leng Youran sitting next to him. "Why did you come out? Although the weather is not so cold now, the sun outside can easily damage your skin. You should go in and keep Master company!"

"Master fell asleep and asked me to come out and not disturb him."

Li Tianze was a little unconvinced. Based on his understanding of You Xian, he was not the type of person who would go to bed as he pleased.

But he wouldn't be so foolish as to push her back. "Okay, then you accompany me outside for a while. When we get to Liangzhou and get the pass, you can get back into the carriage."

Leng Youran nodded without saying anything, and looked at the scenery on both sides of the road.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Li Tianze didn't say anything either. He just chose some slightly flatter roads when driving the carriage to avoid the bumps that would disturb the little girl's interest.

I don’t know if Leng Youran was tired or did it on purpose, but after driving for a while, Leng Youran’s head slowly leaned on Li Tianze’s shoulder.

Li Tianze's shoulders tensed up unconsciously, but when he saw that she didn't make any other movements, he slowly relaxed.

Ever since her ambiguous words yesterday, he had become a little nervous, fearing that everything that had happened between them yesterday was just his imagination.

Now seeing her leaning on his shoulder, he felt indescribably satisfied.

"Are you tired? Do you want to go in and rest for a while?" There was some insincerity in his steady voice.

Even if Leng Youran didn't try to figure it out, she could still hear the meaning behind his words.

The corners of his mouth curled up, and he thought to himself: This guy is really shy. He wasn't like this when he wanted to seduce her before?

But he still replied, "I'm not tired, I just want to lean on you."

Hearing this, Li Tianze switched the reins to his left hand, passed his right hand over her head, placed his palm on her shoulder, and patted her gently, "Okay, you can lean on me as long as you want. If you feel tired, just close your eyes and rest for a while."

His voice seemed to have magical power. Leng Youran actually felt his eyelids getting heavy and he slowly closed his eyes.

Li Tianze felt the little girl on his shoulder's breathing gradually become steady. He controlled the reins with one hand and held her head steadily with the other.

Li Tianze was very careful along the way and slowed down when he encountered a deep pit. This also allowed Leng Youran, who had been working hard all day, to have a good nap.

Leng Youran slowly opened her eyes after an unknown amount of time, and fluttered her eyelashes a few times. Then she saw that she was still sitting on the bicycle frame. She wanted to turn her head, but found that her head was firmly fixed.

Li Tianze noticed the movement on his shoulder and gently moved his hand away from her head. He stretched his stiff arm where Leng Youran couldn't see it, and his tone was full of concern. "But I'm too strong. Is it making you uncomfortable?"

Leng Youran didn't move away from his shoulder, but adjusted her head and continued to lean on it. "No, how long have I been sleeping? How come I didn't feel any bumps?"

"It didn't take long, about half an hour. Maybe this section of the road is easier to walk on, so you didn't feel the bumps." He didn't want to take credit for it. In his opinion, the time he had to take care of the little girl like this was limited. Even though his hands were about to cramp from maintaining the same posture, he had no complaints.

His voice is still very nice.

Listening to him speak, Leng Youran suddenly understood why the heroines in the novels she had read before would say that they would get pregnant if they listened to the hero's voice too much.

Li Tianze may not have the chiseled features of the male protagonists in novels, but he is definitely a handsome man.

Although he always acts cautiously in front of her, he is still very manly in front of outsiders.

Maybe all this has something to do with his experience!

"Li Tianze, you must be very tired!" Leng Youran suddenly asked this question for some reason.

His tone was full of heartache.

Li Tianze paused as he was swinging the reins. This was the first time the little girl called him by his full name.

He had never thought his name sounded so good.

Especially when it comes from her mouth, it feels even more different.

Just like when my mother called me daddy when she was young.

Every time Dad heard Mom call him like this, he looked happy.

I just don't know why the little girl suddenly asked this question.

But still answered softly: "No, I'm fine."

Leng Youran didn't find it strange to hear what he said. Although he was not very serious in front of her on weekdays, he also had his pride. He didn't want to say it, not because he didn't believe in himself, but because he was afraid that she would feel bad!

She straightened her skirt that was messed up by the wind and sat up straight.

He bent his knees, hugged his legs, and glanced sideways at the person beside him. His right profile was much better looking than the left.

As I watched, I unconsciously stretched out my hand and used my fingers to outline his face in mid-air.

When I drew his thin lips, I couldn't help swallowing.

Sexy, really sexy.

Li Tianze didn't know what she was gesturing, so he turned his head curiously and saw the little girl staring at him with shining eyes.

Suppressing the corners of his mouth that wanted to turn up, he asked, "Are you attracted by my beauty?"

Leng Youran nodded blankly, "Yeah, it's really tempting."

She thought to herself, if she hadn't known that her master was sitting in the carriage, she would have wanted to taste him.
