C1251 Journey to Da Yi City (4)

"The horses also need to drink and rest." Nan Hua patted the neck of her horse in front of her.

*neigh*

The horse neighed as if responding to her words.

Long Qian Xing watched their interaction and smiled faintly. Even though people always said that animals were stupid, he also liked to interact with the animals. If he treated them seriously, they would also treat him seriously.

He patted his horse, who also neighed back to him.

This horse has been his partner for a long time and helped him to achieve many things on the battlefield. He's also a good partner on the battlefield and Long Qian Xing was willing to take care of his horse more when it was possible.

"There are a lot of carrots that I bought in the city before. You can also give it to your horses later," Long Qian Xing added.

Nan Hua looked at her horse and nodded, not rejecting Long Qian Xing's offer.

This horse might be only prepared temporarily by Fei Mao for her use, but she also didn't mind treating the horse a bit better.

"Are there also apples?" Nan Hua recalled that horses also liked apples.

Long Qian Xing chuckled at Nan Hua's questions. "There are some, but they're mainly for our consumption and not for the horses."

Fruits were quite expensive as most of the food was dedicated for war. The soldiers were not allowed to waste food, so it was not easy for them to be able to buy fresh food for their journey.

He bought some just yesterday because he needed the vitamin in these fruits.

"I'll give him half."

"Okay."

Long Qian Xing rummaged his bag beside his feet and slowly took out an apple. Their belongings were placed on the back of the horse and also at the side, near the saddle. This was done to make it easier for them to take anything they needed.

Nan Hua looked at the apple Long Qian Xing gave to her and slowly take it. "Thank you, Young Master Long."

Long Qian Xing smiled faintly and felt a bit bitter.

He looked at the soldiers behind him and for the first time in his life, he just wanted to kick them all so that he could have some private time with Nan Hua. Without the eyes of these soldiers looking at him, he would be able to have more time to spend with Nan Hua.

Unfortunately…

His position didn't allow it.

He was also sure that Nan Hua would not agree with such behavior either. Based on what she had done so far, she seemed to always have purposes in whatever she was doing, slowly but surely creating a big plan in her every steps.

In this regards, she was similar to him.

But Long Qian Xing felt that he hoped Nan Hua would like to relax more than just working because that way, he would be able to do many other things with Nan Hua.

'Well, one step at a time.'

While Long Qian Xing was lamenting, Nan Hua split the apple into two pieces and put one of them to her pocket while she bit the other half.

Crunch.

The apples were very fresh and juicy.

Long Qian Xing looked at Nan Hua eating the apples and his eyes focused on her lips. It was red and supple, looked moisturized. It really made people want to kiss as soon as they see it.
