Portable Space: The Peasant Princess

The night is as deep as ink.

In the military barracks of Dazhou, Gu Panxia was lying on the desk, looking at Lu Yuan who was talking with Zhao Bin opposite.

His face is very serious. He is obviously only sixteen or seventeen years old, but there is no childishness on his face at all. What is there is maturity and stability that is different from his age.

His serious profile was very beautiful. Perhaps feeling her devoted gaze, Lu Yuan suddenly turned his head to look at her. When he met her slightly hazy eyes, his originally serious face was instantly filled with a gentle smile.

Just listen to his warm voice: "Are you tired?"

Gu Panxia blinked, then shook her head slightly, "I'm not tired, you continue."

Zhao Bin looked at the two of them, coughed lightly and said, "Young Master, you see it's getting late, why don't you go to bed early and leave the rest to your subordinates."

Lu Yuan looked at Gu Panxia and saw a hint of sleepiness in her eyes, and a hint of distress flashed in her deep eyes.

He put away the rolls of paper on the table and said to Zhao Bin, "Okay, you should go to bed early."

Zhao Bin nodded respectfully, smiled at Gu Panxia and said, "Then... Miss Gu should rest early, so I'll take a step ahead."

Gu Panxia nodded, Zhao Bin nodded and smiled, then bent out of the tent.

Gu Panxia stretched and let out a long yawn, wiped the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes, then raised her eyes and said to Lu Yuan, "Then I'll go back and rest first, and you should rest earlier."

Lu Yuan stood up and said, "I'll see you off."

Gu Panxia shook her head, "No, it's just two steps. I won't get lost. You're tired too. Go get some rest early."

She reached out and patted Lu Yuan's shoulder, yawned and walked out of the tent.

Lu Yuan placed the roll of paper in his hand on the table, then followed her out of the tent.

Gu Panxia turned her head in confusion when she heard the footsteps. When she saw Lu Yuan behind her, the corner of her mouth twitched unconsciously.

"How did you come?"

My tent is far away from Lu, really only two steps away.

Lu Yuan raised his thin lips slightly and said softly: "It's nothing, I just want to see you, go in and have a rest."

Gu Panxia looked at him speechlessly for a long time without saying anything. Finally, she turned around and sighed softly, shook her head again, and then bent over and walked into her tent.

Lu Yuan stood outside her tent. After the candles inside were extinguished, he turned and returned to his tent.

A dreamless night.

At dawn, the sound of cicadas could be heard from all around. As soon as Gu Panxia opened his eyes, he saw Lu Yuan sitting on a chair nearby, reading a book.

"Are you awake? I've prepared the water for washing up, and breakfast is on the table."

Gu Panxia sat up, rubbed her disheveled hair, and rubbed her hazy eyes before staring blankly at Lu Yuan sitting beside him.

Lu Yuan chuckled lightly, put the book in his hand on the table, stood up and brought the basin to Gu Panxia's side, wet the handkerchief inside, then wrung out the water and wiped her face.

As soon as the slightly cool water temperature touched his face, Gu Panxia's originally chaotic thoughts instantly sobered up.

"You woke up slowly. The water is a little cold, so it's just time to wake up."

Gu Panxia's eyes widened slightly, and she curled her lips and said, "The weather outside is already refreshing enough, why do we need this cold water?"

The late autumn in the north has begun to get colder, and the temperature is indeed several times colder than that of Qingyou Town in the south.

Gu Panxia took the handkerchief from Lu Yuan's hand, wiped it on his face carelessly, and then deliberately threw the handkerchief heavily back into the wooden basin. The water in the basin splashed up and wet Lu Yuan's sleeves.

"Oh, I'm sorry, are you okay? Are you cold?"

Seeing her with her big eyes open and staring at him innocently, Lu Yuan pursed his thin lips and looked at her without saying a word with a half-smiling look in his eyes.

Gu Panxia coughed lightly and said, "Ahem... Well, I didn't mean to do that. I just saw that you didn't seem to be in good spirits, so I wanted to wake you up for you."

Lu Yuan shook his head and smiled, raised his finger and flicked her forehead, saying dotingly: "What a nonsense, why don't you get up and have breakfast."

"Oh!" She said softly, "I know."

Lu Yuan stood up, picked up the cloak that was hanging aside and put it on her.

"It's cold, don't catch a cold."

Gu Panxia smiled softly and stood still obediently, letting him tie up the cloak for her.

"Okay, let's go and eat quickly. The porridge is still warm, so drink it early."

Gu Panxia nodded, her eyes a little red.

How long had it been since she had enjoyed being taken care of? It seems that since grandma passed away, she has never enjoyed it again, right?

The feeling of being taken care of meticulously seems not bad.

She sniffed and called softly: "Lu Yuan."

"Huh?" Lu Yuan raised his eyes in confusion.

Gu Panxia smiled slightly, "Thank you!"

Thank you for meeting your gentleness in this strange world, and thank you for being able to treat me with your heart when I was at my ugliest.

"Silly girl, thank you for what? I should be the one thanking you."

If it weren't for her, Lu Yuan might not know that he could love someone.

Others say that he is cold and ruthless, decisive in killing, difficult to get along with, and even rejects women thousands of miles away.

In the past, he had thought that he would never fall in love with anyone in his life, but since he met her, he realized that it was not that he would not fall in love with others, just because those people were not her.

Gu Panxia chuckled, shook her shoulders and said, "Why do I feel like I'm becoming so pretentious!"

Lu Yuan chuckled lightly and reached out to straighten her messy hair.

"Okay, eat quickly. I will take you to a place after eating."

Recently, there has been little movement from the barbarian army, and they cannot act rashly here.

Although Gu Panxia was curious in her heart, seeing his expression of wanting to eat quickly, she had no choice but to suppress her doubts and lower her head to eat breakfast.

The wind blew in from the door of the tent and rolled up their hair. The scene was happy and beautiful.

When Zhao Bin saw this scene at the door, he stopped for a moment and looked at the two people interacting inside with relief.

He had not seen such a comfortable young master for a long time, perhaps after his wife passed away, or since he entered the military area, or perhaps even earlier.

To Lu Yuan, he was a subordinate, a brother, and a confidant. How could Lu Yuan be the same to him?

If it hadn't been for Lu Yuan back then, he would have been killed by the enemy's swords long ago. Over the years, he has been very grateful. He has watched Lu Yuan transform from a little kid into a strong young man now. Among them, Lu Yuan He knows best how much sadness Yuan has experienced.

Now, being able to see his smiling face again, he was grateful to Gu Panxia from the bottom of his heart. He was also very lucky that they were able to meet her in Yuehe Village.

The surrounding leaves have already turned light yellow, which means that autumn has entered in the north, but inside the house, it feels as warm and desirable as spring.

Zhao Bin turned around slowly, walked slowly and left quickly, leaving the peace and warmth of the moment to the two people in the tent.
