Ye Sijue didn't finish his sentence and changed the subject. "So do you want to know what I'm thinking about now?"
"I don't want to know!" Annie said in a fluster.
Ye Sijue gazed into the distance and he said in a deep voice, "I was thinking… how great it would be if there were no end to this road."
With that said, as though he didn't care what she thought, he continued carrying her, walking quietly.
Annie stared at the back of his head, unable to calm the waves in her heart.
They were both silent.
Even after walking for a while the scenery hadn't changed.
She wondered when they would ever return. Though Annie was the one who was being carried, she was worried about Ye Sijue, so she couldn't relax.
"Are… you tired?" she said softly.
"I'm not tired," Ye Sijue replied mildly.
Annie pursed her lips. She was going to ask him to let her down, but upon recalling his tough attitude earlier, it seemed pointless.
