The next day, heading to Xiangguo Temple, Wufu gave up riding horses to please someone and obediently opted for a carriage—pretending to be a lady.
Ah Jiu saw this and lowered his head, a smile in his eyes, then he followed her onto the carriage. With all the attendants being their own people, they didn't bother with any formalities.
The carriage traveled through the city's streets. It was autumn, with chestnuts in season, and the streets occasionally wafted the scent of sugar-coated chestnuts.
Wufu craved snacks, and the carriage often stopped. Each stop added another treat to the cabin; besides tea cups, the small table was filled with various roasted nuts and fruits.
The carriage was spacious enough; besides the two of them, Jadeite was also onboard, responsible for brewing tea.
Ah Jiu took chestnuts from the paper bag, peeling them carefully and placing them into the porcelain dish.
As soon as he placed one down, a hand stretched over and took it away.
