In the morning, the crew hit the road again. The maids helped Xiaoling onto the carriage followed by Weisheng. Although they shared the same carriage, Xiaoling was glad Weisheng gave her space. This was one thing that confused her about him. He wanted her love and hatred at the same time. She couldn't accomplish this, so he compromised and gave her the space she deserved.
He hadn't touched her once ever since meeting again except for grabbing her wrist on the boat. Maybe their last interaction had scared him enough to keep a distance lest he repeat the same mistakes.
