The convoy found the courier station before dark.

After a day of traveling, everyone was tired. Bathing was impossible. After dinner, they washed their faces briefly and returned to their rooms to rest.

Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan were husband and wife, so they were naturally arranged to stay in the same guest room.

Looking at the bed in front of her that could accommodate two people, Yu Niaoniao could not help but be amused.

She threw herself onto the bed and rolled, then propped up her upper body and waved at Xiao Juan.

“I tried it for you. This bed is quite soft. Come and sleep with me.”

They had not slept together since their argument.

When they were in the Langjun Imperial Palace, Xiao Juan insisted on sleeping in the study. Yu Niaoniao had tried all kinds of methods, but they were all useless.

Unexpectedly, they were suddenly going to sleep together again.

This was a pleasant surprise!

Xiao Juan looked at her expressionlessly. “I’ll get another room.”

Yu Niaoniao immediately sat up.

“You’re not allowed to go! Tonight, this courier station has been booked by our people. All the rooms were already full. It was impossible for there to be any empty rooms.”

“Besides, we’re husband and wife. If you sleep elsewhere, what will others think of me?”

As she spoke, her face was filled with grievance and pity.

Xiao Juan did not want her to be criticized, so he could only take a step back.

“I’m going out to get something.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “Don’t tell me you want to run?”

“I won’t run.”

Yu Niaoniao was relieved and put on a smile again. “That’s good. Go.”

Xiao Juan pushed open the door and walked out.

Yu Niaoniao lay on the bed and giggled with the blanket.

“Don’t even think about escaping me tonight.”

In order to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Yu Niaoniao decided to sacrifice herself.

She quickly undressed and took off her coat and socks. The pearl hairpin on her head was all removed. Her long black hair fell down, and she was only wearing a thin white inner shirt. She especially pulled open the collar, revealing a small piece of snow-white skin.

After doing this, she lay down and supported the side of her face with one hand, creating an enchanting figure.

In a situation where a man and a woman were alone, she did not believe that Xiao Juan could still control himself!

After a while, Xiao Juan returned.

He was stunned to see Yu Niaoniao.

“What are you doing?”

Yu Niaoniao blinked her big eyes. “I was waiting for you.”

Xiao Juan put down the blanket in his hand and strode over.

Yu Niaoniao’s heart could not help but beat faster. It seemed that her seduction plan had succeeded. Xiao Juan could not hold it in anymore.

Immediately after, she saw Xiao Juan pull up the blanket and cover her with it.

“It’s cold at night. Don’t freeze.”

Yu Niaoniao was speechless.

I’ve already taken off my clothes, and you’re telling me this?!

Xiao Juan moved the table and chairs to the side, then shook off the blanket he had just carried back and spread it on the ground.

Seeing this, Yu Niaoniao could not help but widen her eyes.

“What are you doing?”

Xiao Juan said, “I’ll sleep on the floor tonight.”

Yu Niaoniao lifted the blanket on her and sat up, questioning loudly.

“Did you just say you were going out to get something so you could sleep on the floor with the blanket?”

Xiao Juan replied, “Yes.”

He had just told the junior official at the courier station that the night was too cold and there was not enough blanket. The junior official believed him and immediately brought him a thick new blanket.

Xiao Juan originally wanted to take off his coat, but just as his well-defined fingers touched his belt, he remembered that Niaoniao was still watching from the side. He put down his hand and lay down in his coat.

Yu Niaoniao was furious.

“Xiao Juan!”

This was the first time she had called him by his full name.

Xiao Juan opened his eyes. “What else?”

Yu Niaoniao jumped out of bed and ran to him barefoot without even putting on her shoes.

“Get up!”

Xiao Juan looked away from her smooth and small feet and said calmly.

“It’s getting late. We still have to travel tomorrow. Go back to bed and sleep.”

Yu Niaoniao refused to leave. “You’ll sleep in the bed with me.”

Xiao Juan said, “No need. I’ll sleep here.”

said, “No need. I’ll sleep here.”

Yu Niaoniao said angrily.

“If you don’t sleep in the bed, then I won’t sleep tonight.” Xiao Juan closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said slowly.

“Niaoniao, don’t force me anymore.”

Yu Niaoniao actually heard some suppressed pain in these words.

She immediately panicked and quickly explained.

“I’m not forcing you. I don’t want you to sleep on the floor. The floor is wet.

You’ll get sick.”

Xiao Juan said, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”

Yu Niaoniao said, “But…’

Xiao Juan interrupted her.

“No buts. Go to sleep.”

His tone was tough and he would not accept refusal.

Yu Niaoniao lowered her head and replied aggrievedly.

She had just turned around when she was stopped by Xiao Juan.

“Wait a minute.”

got up and walked to the bed. He bent down to pick up the embroidered shoes on the ground and placed them in front of Yu Niaoniao.

“Put on your shoes. Don’t run around barefoot.”

Yu Niaoniao immediately smiled through her tears. Although this man always put on a cold expression and refused to get close to her, he was actually still very concerned about her.

She stretched out a small foot and said coquettishly.

“Then help me put it on.”

Xiao Juan looked at her steadily.

Yu Niaoniao thought that he was unwilling and was about to put down her foot when she saw the man bend down.

He knelt on one knee, his eyes lowered. He held Yu Niaoniao’s ankle with one hand, picked up the embroidered shoe with the other, and helped her put it on.

His movements were not very gentle, but they were very meticulous.

Yu Niaoniao looked down at him.

From this angle, she could see the high bridge of his nose and long, thick eyelashes.

Compared to the men in Imperial Capital, Xiao Juan’s facial features were even more deep and three-dimensional.

She asked suddenly.

“Are all the men in Liangzhou as good-looking as you?”

helped her put on both shoes before answering. “You’ll know when you get to Liangzhou. Go to sleep.” Yu Niaoniao dawdled back to bed.

Xiao Juan blew out the oil lamp and darkness descended.

Yu Niaoniao could not see the man on the ground clearly, so she could only close her eyes and sleep obediently.

Although Xiao Juan said that he was fine, the next morning, Yu Niaoniao still got someone to cook a bowl of ginger tea for him to help him remove the wet and cold air in his body.

The small official at the courier station ordered someone to bring breakfast to their respective rooms.

After breakfast, the group set off again.

This trip was a long one. Yu Niaoniao was bored and asked Chun Feng and Ye Yu to help grind ink and spread paper.

She picked up her pen and prepared to draw the second part of the Record of the Phoenix Cry Nation.

Although this book attracted tirades toward her, the sales were not worse than the Seven Treasures Record.

Many people were like Wei Liao and Zheng Changle. They cursed as they read.

This surprised the booksellers and made them even happier.

They naturally did not want to miss this business opportunity.

Before she left the Imperial Capital, the booksellers had looked for her, hoping that she could produce a second book as soon as possible.

Yu Niaoniao had an opera troupe to support now and was very short of money, so she agreed and said that she would submit the manuscript when she returned..
