Under the sunlight, the girl's petite body was snuggled up against the man in black. Her fair and delicate face was pressed against his hand. Her sleeping appearance was peaceful.

The warm touch on his face was as pleasant as the sunlight outside the window.

Lin Xuecha didn't feel that there was anything different about him. Instead, he thought he was on the bed, and couldn't help but rub the softness on his face.

That person's body tensed up for a moment.

After a moment of silence, the man reached out his hand and pressed it against her groin.

Someone patted her shoulder, and the voice was deep and gentle, very familiar.

"It's time to get up."

Lin Xuecha slowly opened her eyes. Her mind was a mess, and even her face looked a little silly.

In the next second, her brain started working once again. When her thoughts returned, she stood up abruptly and said apologetically:

"Right... "Sorry, I fell asleep …"

Su Nanxing's brows were light and indifferent, he did not even glance at Lin Xuecha, "Go and wash your face, it's time to enter the palace."

Lin Xuecha frowned, what was she doing, she had been sleeping for so long and she still wanted Su Nanxing to wake her up?!

In the past, when she was sleepy, she would only be able to sleep in peace for a short while and wake up in less than ten minutes. But now, it had changed …

Could it be that after she returned to the capital, not only did she not ascend, she actually fell?

Lin Xuecha scolded herself ruthlessly in her heart. After washing her face, she straightened her clothes and followed Su Nanxing onto the carriage.

Su Nanxing's carriage was very big, and just from its appearance, it looked extremely luxurious.

Lin Xuecha got on the carriage, and when she lifted the curtain to take a look, her eyes flashed.

There was plenty of room in the car.

Some fresh fruit cakes were placed on a small square table on the side of the carriage.

The carriage was slightly behind them, filled with books, a chessboard, tea set, bottles, and a wardrobe … The daily necessities were all there.

Lin Xuecha lowered his eyes.

She found a seat and sat down quietly.

The horse carriage began to move slowly. The road was flat and there was not much shaking.

She had slept for too long, and now that she had boarded the carriage, she was extremely clear-headed.

She rummaged through her sleeves and then flipped open the information Su Nanxing had given her for the Way of Tea.

Although the Ninth Prince Palace was very close to the Imperial Palace, it would only take them a moment to get there, but...

It was better than not seeing anything at all.

But...

The book she was holding hadn't even been read a few words when it was easily taken by the man sitting opposite her.

Lin Xuecha raised his eyes in the direction of the book and called out, "Your Highness …"

The man put the book away.

He looked at her closely. "You're not allowed to read in the car."

"…"

Lin Xuecha pointed to the books on the side, "Then these books, what is His Highness doing with them?"

She had always had quite a bit of courage in front of him, perhaps it was because …

From the very beginning, he had seen through her disguise, or perhaps …

He had helped her from the start. She trusted him, so she dared to question him.

The corner of the man's lips curled up into a careless yet deep smile.

He lifted his hand and stroked her black hair, which had fallen to his cheek, behind her delicate and delicate earlobes.

The color in his eyes gradually turned darker. Lin Xuecha could not understand the expression in his eyes, nor could he understand it.

At that time, she only felt his hand gently pull up her hair before slowly stroking behind her ear. His hand …

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he lightly touched her earlobes, as if possessed by magic. Wherever he went, she felt a burning sensation.

It was a romantic gesture, with a touch of ambiguity.

However, she was still not used to it when it came to a man she was not familiar with and whose way of doing things was enigmatic.

In fact, it even rejected his actions.

Even though... This man had appeared to protect her.

She narrowed her eyes slightly and saw that the man was getting closer and closer. She was about to shake him off when he moved his hand on her face.

He thought to himself that at most, he would be able to scatter one piece and scatter two pieces. However, he didn't expect that …

The man's hand suddenly moved and slid behind her ear to her chin.
