cessation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tonight, we could only seek shelter in the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Ruotong ordered the soldiers to gather more dry firewood to ensure the fire would not die out tonight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also arranged for her and the soldiers to take turns keeping watch throughout the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being away from home, it was impossible to let down all guards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temple was supremely quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, one of the soldiers was on watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest were sitting and trying to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a pillar behind Song Yanqing, leaning against it was slightly more comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But still, he couldn’t sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He watched Xie Ruotong hug her knees and bury her head in her lap, as if she was asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another soldier was in the same position, even snoring loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing, since childhood, had never ventured out like this, his memories mainly filled with studying in his own study, with people attending to his eating, dressing, and travel needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was his first time spending the night out in the wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to admit, he was really not accustomed to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just sat in silence, quietly waiting for dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night grew later and later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After two soldiers had taken their turns, Xie Ruotong awoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xie Ruotong woke up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing quickly shut his eyes, pretending to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Xie Ruotong remained silent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he could actually feel her discontent with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been proud and spirited since childhood and seldom faced setbacks; unexpectedly, a day came when he would be scorned like this because of his physical condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He tried his best not to hold Xie Ruotong back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing leaned against the pillar, with his eyes closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He appeared to be asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Ruotong stepped outside for a look and, upon her return, saw Song Yanqing leaning against the pillar, seemingly sleeping uneasily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She approached him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she squatted down, reached out her hand, and touched Song Yanqing’s hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wanted to make sure he wasn’t cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he caught a chill, it would be more trouble than it was worth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing’s heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Xie Ruotong drew near, his heartbeat quickened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention, she was now holding his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help it and opened his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon opening his eyes, he saw Xie Ruotong up close.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The firelight cast a gentle glow on her soft cheeks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gazing at Xie Ruotong’s face like that, Song Yanqing’s eyes seemed to ripple with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could say anything,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you cold?\" Xie Ruotong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had felt that his palm was very cool to the touch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing’s gaze flickered slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are cold, I can have them come over and hug you to sleep,\" Xie Ruotong’s voice was very faint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, her hand had already left the palm of his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Ruotong was merely worried that he might catch a cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And all her concern for him was merely carrying out orders, fulfilling the mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing shook his head, \"I’m not cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your hand is very cold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s due to a bodily condition, not because of the cold,\" explained Song Yanqing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you catch a cold, I can’t answer for it,\" Xie Ruotong said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing chose to remain silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Liu,\" Xie Ruotong suddenly called out to a soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soldier was still snoring, but at hearing the command, he quickly opened his eyes, \"General.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hug him to sleep,\" ordered Xie Ruotong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes,\" the soldier promptly acknowledged the command.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stationed in the army, sometimes really having to camp outside in the cold, it was common practice for the soldiers to keep each other warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Liu was also sleepy at this moment and, regardless of Song Yanqing’s status, went forward and embraced Song Yanqing then closed his eyes to sleep again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Visible on Song Yanqing’s face was... distaste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible to disguise, even if he wanted to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soldiers are naturally different from ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They go to war and don’t care much about their appearance, seldom bathing or changing clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it’s inevitable that they carry some odors on them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What’s worse, as soon as Ah Liu shut his eyes, he started snoring again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The intermittent snoring just kept echoing in Song Yanqing’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It made sleep even more impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Ruotong’s original intention was just to prevent Song Yanqing from catching a cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her actions now seemed to others like she was indulging in personal benefits under the guise of public interests, deliberately taking revenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the patient Song Yanqing couldn’t bear it and said, \"I assure you I won’t catch a cold, can you please stop him from holding me while sleeping?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Ruotong pursed her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"With him holding me like this, I can’t sleep either,\" Song Yanqing added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah Liu,\" Xie Ruotong spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Liu opened his eyes in a daze, murmuring, \"But I held on tight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s exactly the problem - holding on too tight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should sleep by yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh,\" Ah Liu felt somewhat disappointed, \"Song’s body smells nice, and he is quite slender, much more comfortable to hold than Da Niu.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Da Niu is another soldier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing’s face turned red.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah Liu shuffled his bottom, moving back to the spot where he initially slept, squeezing in with Da Niu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go to sleep,\" Xie Ruotong said indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why don’t you sleep, and I’ll keep watch? I can’t sleep anyway, and it’s easier to catch a cold when asleep,\" Song Yanqing quickly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Ruotong hesitated for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing quickly got up from the ground, freeing up his spot, \"You sleep, if I really can’t keep going, I’ll call you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\" Xie Ruotong didn’t refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was well aware that the journey to the border was long and energy must be conserved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing could still rest a little in the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She sat in Song Yanqing’s former spot, leaning on a pillar to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing sat on the side, keeping watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that in such an environment, it would be impossible for him to doze off all night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, just before dawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still could not resist, and sitting down, he fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a daze, he felt someone approaching, in a daze, he felt a warm and familiar body, in a daze, it seemed he tightly embraced that body...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was alone in the temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning against the pillar he had slept on, he was covered with a woman’s jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt abandoned by Xie Ruotong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw Xie Ruotong walking into the temple from outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awake?\" Xie Ruotong asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing was still in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He controlled his emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And realized he had overthought it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why would Xie Ruotong abandon him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was just carrying out a mission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, I don’t know how I fell asleep last night,\" Song Yanqing apologized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after falling asleep, he had struggled to stay awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for some reason, he just never came to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe too exhausted, or maybe too warm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Xie Ruotong said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning around, it seemed her face was flush with an almost imperceptible blush.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said, \"If you’re awake, get up. It’s not raining outside anymore, and since we were delayed for most of yesterday, we’ll have to travel a bit further today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing quickly got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did he notice that he was still wearing Xie Ruotong’s jacket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly handed it to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Ruotong took it casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rode out of the temple first, gracefully mounting her horse and leading the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Yanqing watched Xie Ruotong’s figure, a slight smile curling his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly felt a bit reluctant to leave this temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctant... to lose the warm embrace of Xie Ruotong from last night.\u003C\u002Fp>",1318,"2026-06-03T12:20:43.086Z","2026-06-03T12:20:47.268Z",1,"novelbin.me","1735ece92a96dc1c3381ce75faa722c55bb6670f28c506a7010deb34e423880e","the-prince-wants-to-assassinate-me-every-day-chapter-717","the-prince-wants-to-assassinate-me-every-day-chapter-715",1279,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-prince-wants-to-assassinate-me-every-day-cover.jpg"]
