I am the Prime Minister's White Moonlight (Rebirth)

85

"Come." Shen Yunshu untied the rope that tied the horse, took the reins, and stretched out his hand towards Yin Mei.

Yin Mei's heart moved and she placed her hand in his palm.

His palms were hot, dry and warm. Shen Yunshu held her hand with one hand and put his other hand around her waist, and lifted her onto the horse's back with one hand.

“Ah…” Yin Mei had never ridden a horse before. The first time she got on a horse, she was so scared that her face turned pale. “Jinyan, don’t let go!”

Shen Yunshu smiled, "Don't worry, I won't let go."

Yin Mei felt more at ease after hearing this. The wound between her legs was still a little painful, so she couldn't help but frown when she sat on it. Shen Yunshu noticed her expression and his eyes deepened, "Did you not apply the medicine?"

“Not yet.”

After hearing this, Shen Yunshu wanted to pull her down.

"I don't want to get off now..." Yin Mei got on the horse with great difficulty. She was very interested in riding horses. As soon as she sat on the horse, she felt that her vision was elevated. The surrounding scenery was clearer than when she was walking on the road, and she could even see the top of Shen Yunshu's head.

Yin Mei took the reins and asked him softly, "I'll apply the medicine after I finish learning, okay, Jinyan?"

"……OK."

The more Shen Yunshu taught, the more surprised he was. Yin Mei learned this unusually quickly. She had a constant smile on her face and gently stroked the horse's mane. The horse didn't feel heavy with her. Gradually, she went from pacing to trotting, and then from trotting to circling the backyard.

Yin Mei was not at all flustered. She held the reins tightly, although she was a little nervous. Her movements were exactly as Shen Yunshu had just said, without any deviation.

"Not bad." Shen Yunshu's eyes showed a trace of appreciation, watching her smile at him immediately. That smile was brighter than any other time. Her eyes almost curved into two crescents, and the curve of her mouth was no longer so reserved and forbearing. She smiled and said, "Dignified, I think I have learned it."

Shen Yunshu's eyes moved, and as he looked at her smile, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he first saw Yin Mei.

It was his first time to Huizhou. After a long journey, he was in a dishevel. The carriage was empty except for some straw, simple and worn clothes, and his parents' belongings wrapped in the clothes.

It was evening, and the sunset was warm, but he could not feel any warmth at all. He felt slightly cold all over, as if he was completely isolated from the surrounding scenery.

It was a hot, sticky, humid summer day.

The children were running and playing in the open space beside the field. They noticed that some strangers came to their town in a shabby carriage.

They gathered in groups, calling their friends and watching the excitement from a distance. When they saw that it was an unknown teenager and an unremarkable old man, they stopped looking around and went back to having their own fun.

The carriage continued to move forward, but Shen Yunshu hesitated for a moment and asked his elderly grandfather behind him.

"Which way?"

"This..." Grandfather was already old, and the days of traveling by car and boat had exhausted his energy. He looked carefully, but could not tell which direction to go.
