The Great Physician

Falling in Love with You (630bookla Chapter of The Great Physician)

Huo Yi, his forehead covered in a thin layer of sweat, struggled forward, panting heavily.

Li Ruozhu stopped his horse in front of him and looked down at him: "What's wrong with you now?"

Huo Yimai was furious: "Where did I throw a tantrum?"

"If you're not riding a horse or taking a carriage, how long will it take you to walk? What else could it be but throwing a tantrum?"

Huo Yi said, "I never ride in other people's carriages or on any horse other than the wind."

Li Ruozhuo thought to herself that men like this were truly annoying and even more difficult to please than women.

With a stern face, he jumped off his horse and handed the reins to Huo Yimai: "I'm lending them to you, remember to return them when you get there."

Huo Yi rolled his eyes and asked, "And what about you?"

Li Ruozhuo said, "I will go and ride in a carriage with Chan."

Huo Yi thought to himself, "That woman is clearly your servant, how can you ride in the same carriage with her?" He replied, "I will ride with you, my master."

Li Ruozhu frowned: "What are the rules?"

"I don't need anyone to accompany me on my horse ride, otherwise I'm afraid I'll fall."

“I’m not your servant.” Li Ruozhuo suddenly looked Huo Yimai up and down. “Besides, Xin Zhui has his own horse. Who’s riding with you when you’re walking?”

Huo Yimai raised his voice: "Anyway, you were injured while riding it, so I don't dare to ride it."

Li Ruozhuo squinted: "What if I don't?"

"Then I won't leave."

Huo Yimai simply hugged Li Ruozhuo to the side.

Li Ruozhuo laughed and said, "If you don't want to leave, then forget it. You're just throwing yourself in here. You're brave enough to walk on a mountain road where wolves will eat you."

Huo Yi buried his heart in you before he dared to speak.

Ignore Li Ruozhuo.

Seeing that he wouldn't let the horse trot along himself, Li Ruozhuo said, "Then I really will walk."

Huo Yimai suddenly turned around: "You stay here."

Li Ruozhuo turned around with a grin: "I haven't left yet."

Huo Yimai stood in front of her and said, "I gave you my beloved horse, how can you abandon me?"

"But you're the one who won't leave."

"Then I won't leave. I didn't hold it against you for stealing my horse; I even gave it to you. I've been loyal to you, yet you want jackals to kill me." Huo Yi retorted with a sullen face, "Then let the hungry wolves eat me, as long as your conscience can bear it."

Li Ruozhuo: "..."

She was narrow-minded and vindictive, but she was definitely not a heartless person. Hearing Huo Yi's accusations, she felt a pang of guilt.

He said, "I'll accompany you and provide for your horse, so don't be angry."

Huo Yi thought to herself, "I'm not wrong. She's actually kind-hearted, has a boyish chivalry, and isn't petty."

His anger turned to laughter as he said, "Then why don't you invite me to mount my horse?"

Li Ruozhuo thought to himself, "It must be really hard on that Lord Xin Zhui. I wonder who spoiled him like that."

Li Ruozhuo asked Huo Yimai to mount his horse, and Huo Yimai said, "You go first, I'll follow."

Li Ruozhuo asked, puzzled, "Aren't you afraid of falling?"

Huo Yi measured the two of them by their height: "I am taller than you, so you sit in front."

Li Ruozhuo almost went crazy: "Are we on our way? Not competing in beauty?"

"They can coexist."

Huo Yimai's serious and stubborn gaze made Li Ruozhu compromise.

Li Ruozhuo mounted his horse first, and Huo Yimai followed immediately, his toes barely touching the stirrups, his body as light as a swallow.

Zou Keming, who was walking ahead, could vaguely hear their conversation. Turning around and seeing this scene, a look of doubt appeared in his eyes. He thought to himself, "Even the head of the Huo family isn't as useful as he seems."

Her neatly tied-up hair revealed her delicate pink neck. Huo Yi sat behind Li Ruozhuo and could see the fine hairs on her skin by looking down.

A faint medicinal fragrance mixed with a woman's unique scent lingered around his nose and mouth. Huo Yi, his mind wandering, suddenly placed his large hand on Li Ruozhuo's waist. Her waist was so tight that it could not be grasped in one hand, truly unlike his own waist.

Li Ruozhuo turned around and asked Huo Yimai, "What are you doing?"

The tone wasn't angry, only puzzled.

Huo Yi, with a bold expression, frowned and said, "I'm just afraid it will fall. Otherwise, where would I put it?"

Li Ruozhuo was unaware that he already knew her identity as a girl. She was naturally mischievous and used to wrestling with her older brother, so she didn't think to say, "Then hold me tight."

Huo Yimai stammered, "Should I hug you tight?"

Li Ruozhuo nodded: "Hold on tight."

Shaking the reins, with both legs braced against the horse's belly, the horse galloped forward like a whirlwind.

Huo Yimai was both surprised and pressed his whole body against Li Ruozhuo's back, tightly hugging her waist.

The two handsome young men, seated on horseback, exuded a captivating and radiant aura, their graceful and noble bearing quite striking.

The two men rode past on horseback, leaving behind a trail of dust.

Chan and the round, rolling carriage lagged behind, getting covered in dust.

Chan held Ji Yuanyuan in her arms and watched the black horse disappear into the distance. Suddenly, her expression turned heavy as she murmured, "How could you forget your identity as a girl? How could you ride with a man?"

Did my sister ever remember her identity as a woman?

Ji Yuanyuan's meow.

Li Gungun, with his long eyebrows drooping, rolled around in the car, his belly exposed, seemingly carefree on a foreign assignment.

Chan looked at it and said, "Truly, an enlightened old dog has no worries at all."

Ji Yuanyuan jumped down from Chan's arms and, imitating Li Gungun, lay down beside her with her four paws in the air and her belly exposed. Then she closed her eyes and let out a contented meow.

Chan couldn't help but giggle, truly not knowing what to say to her older sister.

She smiled genuinely, completely forgetting her earlier worries about her sister getting close to other men.

Fengma Li Ruozhuo, unable to stay idle, went straight to the front to find a place for the team to settle down.

Of course, Huo Yimai rode with her every day.

After five days, the two got along better and better and rarely quarreled. In the eyes of Chan and the people from the escort agency, they were even inseparable.

On the fifth day, as evening approached, colorful clouds chased the moon in the west, wild geese flew south, and the sunset was a breathtaking sight.

The procession also reached Xuanhu County.

Li Ruozhuo and Huo Yi waited at the city gate for Zou Keming's carriage. Zou Keming arrived first, followed closely by his carriage.

Li Ruozhuo pointed to the three large characters "Xuanhu County" on the gate tower: "Just past here is Xinge City."

Zou Keming saw Huo Yimai behind her, his eyes lowered as he gazed at her bright smile. His long eyelashes couldn't hide the adoration that burst forth from his eyes. Clearly, Huo Yimai harbored ill intentions, but he couldn't make the decision.

Remembering his benefactor's instructions, he nodded and said, "I'll stay overnight. We'll depart at dawn tomorrow and arrive in Xinge by noon."

Huo Yiming turned to Zou Keming and asked, "Is there a rush?"

Zou Keming looked at him with a slightly unwilling expression and said, "..."

The way to
