1785 You Have A Weak Body
Yuan You looked suspiciously at her cousin’s reddened face and asked curiously, “Cousin Hexin, why is your face so red?”

Hexin snapped out of it and touched her cheeks. They were indeed hot and she made up an excuse about it. “It’s probably because it feels warm inside this horse-drawn carriage.”

“Does it feel warm? Why don’t I feel it?” Yuan You found this strange.

“You have a weak body. That’s why you can’t feel the heat in here,” said Hexin.

Yuan You, “…”

She still felt that something strange was going on with her cousin, but she could not put her finger on it.

White Eagle Mountain was a few hundred miles away from the capital city.

Their trip was to have fun and travel around, which was why they were moving a quite a leisurely pace.

Yuan You found out that they were camping out that night and immediately got excited. “Cousin Hexin, are we setting up camp?”

“Yes.” Hexin nodded. This road was a little deserted. There was no village ahead nor any shops behind them. They could only camp in the wild.

“That’s great!” Yuan You was elated. “I’m such an old boy but this is the first time I’ve traveled this far from home. I never thought I would get the chance to camp in the wilderness. This is wonderful.”

“Don’t be too happy yet. Camping in the wild isn’t what you imagine it to be. There will be bugs, snakes, and wild animals roaming this place. It’s full of danger and not as fun as you think it is.”

Yuan You was immediately frightened when she heard this. “Is it really that scary?”

“Of course. There are things here that you can’t imagine.” Hexin did not want to pour cold water on her party, but Hexin had to help her understand the situation.

Yuan You moved back a little and grabbed Hexin’s hand. “Let’s sleep together tonight.”

“Alright.” Hexin patted Yuan You’s hand and led her off the carriage.

It was evening now and the guards Long Yin brought along were setting up the tents.

Their movements were quite fluent and it was easy to see that they were well-trained.

It was not long before they were done setting up one tent.

While both of them were watching the guards put up the tents, He’an came running over breathlessly from the other side.

“Big Sis, Big Bro Long Yin is about to go hunting. Let’s go with him. We can have grilled pheasant tonight.”

Hexin looked over when she heard him and saw that Long Yin was indeed carrying a set of bow and arrows as he followed behind He’an and came over to them.

“Do you want to join us?” Long Yin stopped in front of her and asked gently.

Hexin wanted to reject him but Yuan You spoke up first. “Go on, Cousin Hexin. I want to have grilled pheasant and rabbit too.” She gulped as she spoke.

She glanced at Yuan You, not knowing what to say, but nodded in the end. “Well… Alright.”

Long Yin smiled and passed her a bow and arrows. “Yaoyao told me you were pretty good in archery.”

Hexin took the items from him and slung them over her shoulders. “I’m nothing compared to an expert.”

“How would you know I’m an expert when you haven’t seen me make a shot before?” The smile in Long Yin’s eyes twinkled brighter.

Hexin was stumped and could not answer him.

“Let’s go. I’ll show you some moves.” Long Yin took the lead after saying this.

As she watched him walk away, Hexin bit her lip and followed behind.

He’an and Yuan You walked on each side of Hexin.

Qi Heng caught up from behind and when he passed by Yuan You, he teased, “It’s no wonder that you look like a rabbit.”

Yuan You was not able to retort as she watched the man walk away.

“What did he mean?” She turned to ask Hexin.

Hexin sighed. “He was implying that you look like a rabbit because you love eating grilled rabbit. He meant that you have the same eating habits as them.”

Yuan You fumed.

“What has it got to do with him if I like eating rabbits?”

Hexin patted her shoulder. “Let it go. He was just making a joke.”

Yuan You was furious. She felt that the man was intentionally stepping on her toes.
He had already commented that she looked like a rabbit when they first met two years ago. Two years had passed, and he was still saying the same thing.
