While they were halfway through, Qiao En began to feel physically exhausted, and Zhou Jin'an, with a pang of heartache for her, decided to call it quits.
"Rest for a while, we can continue afterwards," he said.
Qiao En rested on Zhou Jin'an's chest, her little face red and sweaty.
"No need, you're too tired. Lean on me and sleep for a bit, and when you wake up we'll have arrived at Yun Mountain."
He gently patted her shoulder and back, intending to lull her to sleep.
He felt sorry for Qiao En, and she felt sorry for him in return.
"It must be uncomfortable for you this way, do you want me to take over…" she didn't finish her sentence, but her slender hand had already reached towards a certain place.
Zhou Jin'an took hold of her hand and pressed it to his lips for a kiss.
"There will be plenty of time in the future, and love is a lingering stream. I'm in no rush. Behave, I'm sleepy too; let's sleep together for a while," Zhou said.
He tightened his arm around Qiao En's hand.
