Resisting the Wind and Splendor

Zisu also noticed that Jinglei in the military camp seemed like a different person, very different from his usual self.

The look in her eyes at that moment was devoid of any warmth; she didn't even know if it carried a hint of disgust and impatience.

Zisu felt a pang of heartache for some reason and quickly explained, "I still have to serve Miss..."

“They’re discussing important military matters; they don’t need your service. Now, go back and rest immediately.” Jing Lei’s tense face never relaxed, and his gaze fell on Liu Yun with the same seriousness: “You go back and rest too; we don’t need you here.”

"Okay, I'll go back now... I'll take her downstairs to rest." Liu Yun took Zi Su's hand and pulled her up: "Quick, go back to sleep."

“This tea…”

“I don’t need you to deliver it!” Jing Lei’s face darkened.

Liu Yun immediately pulled Zi Su away.

Even after walking a distance, looking back, you can still see Jing Lei sitting in the spot where Zi Su had been, checking how the tea is brewing.

The figure from behind was still so familiar, but his attitude and tone of voice just now felt completely foreign.

“He meant no harm. He just acts like this when he returns to the military camp. He learned it from my lord.” Liu Yun was worried that Zi Su would be upset, so she comforted her, “Don’t be angry. He didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just a habit.”

"I'm not angry." Zisu looked at Liuyun and smiled. "I'm going back to rest. You should go to sleep too. I have to get up early tomorrow to take care of Miss."

"it is good."

After returning, Zisu did not rest immediately, but went to Chu Yueli's tent to make up a bed.

Her tent was not far from Chu Yueli's tent, so that Chu Yueli could call her anytime and hear her.

This is a proper military camp, and the conditions are quite good. Zisu also has her own independent tent.

Once we truly set off and embark on the northern expedition, the environment along the way will surely be very harsh. I wonder if Miss can withstand it.

She looked really unwell.

When I came out of Chu Yueli's tent, I could still see Jing Lei in the distance, having poured tea and preparing to serve it to Chu Yueli and Miao Yucui.

Unexpectedly, when Jing Lei got up to serve tea, he suddenly turned his head and glanced in this direction.

He saw her.

His gaze lingered on Zisu for only a moment before he immediately looked away and headed towards Miao Yucui's tent.

Zisu felt inexplicably uneasy. Today's thunder was truly chilling, so chilling that it inspired fear.

Perhaps, this is the real him.

Like his master, Prince Mo, when he gets serious, strangers should stay away.

She returned to her tent, lay down on the low couch that had been laid out, and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

When I close my eyes, all I see in my mind are Jing Lei's cold, emotionless eyes.

When he gets cold, he really is so unapproachable...

……

As expected, Chu Yueli got up early the next morning.

Although she didn't call Zisu, Zisu seemed to have anticipated that she would get up at this time and had prepared her snacks and toiletries well in advance.

"There's no need to take such good care of me when we're on campaign. I can take care of myself." Chu Yueli was changing her clothes when she saw Zisu bringing in hot soup. Although she was starving, she was afraid that she would get used to Zisu's care and would feel uncomfortable if they were separated occasionally.

"Haven't I always taken such good care of you, Miss? There's no need to be so polite."

This isn't their first time going on a mission; they've been doing this for the past five years.

"Could it be that something is different this time?"
