Disobey

"What do you say?" Si Ning raised a brow because he doesn't understand if he just heard Ji Ran said they were on their way to Xiu and plans to take him along.

One of the soldiers brought a flat small stool that Ji Ran could write upon, Ji Ran placed the paper on the stool and continued writing like the most important thing ever was to send the letter. Ji Ran didn't raise his head, his hand was a bit shaky which was confusing to Si Ning because he doesn't understand why Ji Ran was trying so hard to make his hand steady or why his hand wasn't stable in the first place or why he refused to meet his eyes even for a second when talking.

"His Majesty sent us here to take General home." Ji Ran said and he was done with the first letter, he handed it to the soldier with the bird cage leaving him to send the letter through one of the birds.

"What!" Si Ning blinked rapidly, his hands akimbo because Ji Ran just confirmed what he thought he misheard.
