Chapter 147 This is on a carriage...
Shadow Falcon stared at the steamed bun as if it were something terrifying.
His throat moved, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
"Miss..." His voice was extremely dry, "I'm on duty and can't eat."
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli paused for a moment, then looked at the other person beside her.
The other person tensed up the moment their eyes met hers.
He then shook his head frantically, waving his hands like a rattle drum.
"Even subordinates cannot eat while on duty."
Su Wuli looked at them, somewhat taken aback, and couldn't help but say, "Just one steamed bun..."
They both shook their heads.
Before she could say anything more, someone wrapped their arm around her waist and lifted her up in a hug.
She gasped softly, almost dropping the oil paper package in her hand.
He quickly gripped it tightly and looked up.
The man's face was right in front of me.
Yu Chen silently carried her into the carriage and placed her on the soft cushions.
The curtains fell down.
A relieved voice came from outside, "Your Highness, we're leaving."
The carriage started moving again.
Su Wuli sat on the cushion, holding the oil paper package, looking at the remaining buns inside.
Her fingertips were still red, and she couldn't help but lower her head and blow on them.
The carriage continued forward. Su Wuli blew on her fingers for a while, then looked up and found Yu Chen looking at her.
He leaned against the carriage wall, his posture somewhat languid.
But when those eyes fell on her face, a hint of something unreadable flashed in their depths.
Su Wuli felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, and took out a steamed bun from the oil paper package.
took a bite.
It's still hot, but a little better than before.
The meat juices melted in her mouth, and the aroma made her eyes squint again.
She chewed and couldn't help but look up at him again.
Yu Chen was still looking at her.
Suddenly realizing something, she swallowed and quickly asked, "Do you want some?"
Yu Chen remained silent.
Su Wuli subconsciously took another bite.
While eating, he looked down at his fingers again.
It's still red.
She put down the steamed bun and touched it with her other hand.
It doesn't hurt as much anymore, but it's noticeably red.
As she was watching, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Su Wuli raised her head.
Yu Chen pulled her hand over and looked down at the red fingertip.
He pressed his fingertip against it and gently rubbed it.
It was a bit rough, and it made her skin itchy.
"Does it still hurt?"
Su Wuli shook her head.
Yu Chen looked up at her, his eyes clearly filled with suspicion.
Su Wuli could only say again, "...just a little bit."
He held her hand tightly and didn't let go.
The carriage continued forward.
She was still holding the half-eaten bun in her other hand, unsure of what to do.
Two seconds later, she couldn't help but say, "The buns are getting cold."
Yu Chen stared straight at her without saying a word.
Su Wuli blinked and subconsciously held the steamed bun to his mouth.
"Want some?"
The man glanced down at the steamed bun, then lowered his head and took a bite.
Su Wuli watched him chew, and after he swallowed, she asked, "Was it good?"
"Hmm," Yu Chen responded indifferently.
Su Wuli took the bun back and took another bite from the spot where he had bitten it.
As she chewed, she suddenly realized something.
She looked down at the steamed bun in her hand.
This is what she bit, what he bit, and what she bit again.
My face started burning up again, and I couldn't stop it.
She didn't dare look up at him, pretending not to see him, and kept her head down as she finished eating the bun.
She had just swallowed the last bite of food when the carriage stopped.
A voice came from outside, "Your Highness, we've arrived."
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli felt relieved and quickly got up to walk out of the car.
However, the moment her hand touched the curtain, her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.
The next moment, she fell backward and into someone's arms.
She looked up and met the man's gaze.
The sound of pedestrians could be heard outside, just outside the curtain.
Su Wuli subconsciously raised her hand and placed it against his chest.
The warmth of his chest was beneath my palm, felt through the thin fabric of my clothes.
"This is in a carriage..."
However, Yu Chen remained silent, his gaze fixed on her face, as if he hadn't heard her words or the sounds outside at all.
Su Wuli blushed as he stared at her.
"There are people outside..." she repeated, "They can hear us..."
The man remained silent.
Su Wuli, unable to bear his gaze any longer, pleaded in her eyes, "No..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Chen suddenly said, "Close your eyes."
Close your eyes?
Su Wuli was stunned, biting her lip as she looked at him.
A burst of laughter came from outside; it was a few passersby.
Footsteps passed by the carriage, very close, so close that Su Wuli could hear what they were saying.
"This fabric shop has good quality materials."
"Let's go take a look."
Su Wuli felt her heart pounding so fast it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat.
She met the man's unwavering gaze and knew she couldn't escape it any longer.
She then closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling uncontrollably.
She could feel Yu Chen's breath right in front of her, too close.
She could feel his gaze on her face, even though her eyes were closed.
After waiting for a while, nothing of the expected events happened...
Su Wuli felt tormented and couldn't help but speak, her voice soft and gentle, with a hint of pleading.
"Could you... hurry up...?"
She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.
That's what I meant...
What does "hurry up" mean?
In an instant, she felt her whole body burning up; she was so ashamed.
Just as she was inwardly wailing, something suddenly touched the corner of her mouth.
Soft.
Su Wuli couldn't help but open her eyes.
Yu Chen was holding a handkerchief and wiping her mouth.
He wiped very slowly, as if on purpose.
After wiping her, he put the handkerchief away and looked down at her.
His deep eyes were full of laughter.
Upon seeing this, Su Wuli was stunned, then quickly realized what was happening.
Yu Chen wasn't trying to kiss her; he was... wiping her mouth.
So she just... told him to hurry up...
Realizing he had misunderstood, his face immediately turned burning hot.
The burning sensation started on my cheeks, spread to my ears, and then down to my neck.
She lowered her head, not daring to look at Yu Chen.
But then he heard a man's low chuckle, followed by a lingering smile as he said, "Wipe your mouth quickly."
Upon hearing this, Su Wuli lowered her head even further, her ears burning red.
She wanted to curl up into a ball.

My darlings, if there's a delay in updating, it's because the chapter is still under review. We update on time every day, but if there's a delay, it will be about ten minutes (due to the review process).
