In the evening, the moon climbs the treetops, and the cicadas chirp to disturb people.

The temperature was very cold at night, and the grass and trees on both sides of the mountain road seemed to be a little foggy under the moonlight, and in this picture where there was no movement except the chirping of cicadas, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Jiang Hong'er sat on the horse's back, holding the reins tightly with one hand, and hugging Mo'er in front of him with the other, afraid that Mo'er would fall under the horse in response to the bumps in the road, they were all draped in a very heavy windproof robe, even so Jiang Hong'er was still not at ease, and used a piece of fine linen as a scarf around Mo'er's neck.

"Do you approve of me as your master?" Jiang Hong'er sat behind Mo'er and asked.

"A master is a master...... Don't need Mo'er's approval" At this time, Mo'er's back was close to Jiang Hong'er's chest, Mo'er could clearly hear Jiang Hong'er's breathing, this was the first time she had this feeling of being overwhelmed, I don't know how to describe this mood, in Mo'er's memory, she only understood the pain, listening to Jiang Hong'er's breathing, Mo'er's heartbeat and breathing slowly became rapid.

“…… Then since you have said so, the master wants to order you to give you three tasks, can you do it? Jiang Hong'er asked after hesitating for a moment after hearing Mo'er's answer.

- Mo'er's heart is made of water, but maybe it's night, the water is frozen, so cold...... She ...... to herself It's cold.

“…… Well, the master is going to ......" Mo'er replied in a low voice, because it was close to Jiang Hong'er's chest, causing Mo'er to speak more and more nervously, and after hearing Jiang Hong'er's words, Mo'er seemed a little scared, afraid of being the same as before......

- This state...... It's so uncomfortable, the previous pain was physical, but ...... Why do I feel so uncomfortable now? …… Heartbeat...... It's uncomfortable.

"Well, the first task I'm going to give you is, first; You can't talk with your head down in the future, raise your head, look ahead and speak, and then the second task is your voice, your voice is too small, you can be louder in the future, and finally ...... You have to learn to think of yourself, you ...... Even if you can have a little selfishness," Jiang Hong'er said.

"What is ...... Selfishness? Mo'er doesn't understand......" Mo'er asked suspiciously, originally with her head down when she spoke, but remembering what Jiang Hong'er had just said, Mo'er raised her head.

"Selfishness? Selfishness is that if we encounter danger in the future, you remember to hide aside, if you don't work, you can run away, leave me alone, I hope you can think more about yourself" Jiang Hong'er said, but his hand unconsciously wrapped around Mo'er's waist, holding her tighter.

"No...... Mo'er ...... Can't do it, Master Jiang Hong'er...... It's different from everyone else," although Mo'er could barely raise her head when she spoke, her voice would slowly become smaller.

"Different? …… That...... Can you tell me about the people you've served before? Your past, I want to know," Jiang Hong'er asked again.

(The content here refers to the third chapter of their past, Mo'er told Jiang Hong'er about his previous experience)

"......" Jiang Hong'er didn't say anything for a long time after hearing this......

“…… Master...... Don't like Mo'er's past? ......" Mo'er asked a little scared, but Jiang Hong'er didn't answer her, which made Mo'er's heart beat even faster.

The two of them did not speak, and continued on their way for a while......

"Under normal circumstances, when walking on the road, is it the master or the maidservant in front?" Jiang Hong'er asked suddenly.

"The host is in front...... Where is the host...... Mo'er is going wherever she goes," Mo'er replied in a low voice.

"That's right, doesn't the master in front of you mean that if something happens, the master is in front, and the person in front of him will protect the person behind him...... So I hope you can slowly get used to this change, you have to live for yourself, no matter what status you are, I will protect you," Jiang Hong'er said.

- Actually, I'd love to talk to her...... I'm actually ...... Prince...... Although it has been two years since I ran away from home, Mo'er, you are now the only attendant by my side, and the only woman I don't hate, you shouldn't be afraid...... Jiang Hong'er thought in her heart.

"Protect me......" Mo'er couldn't react when she heard Jiang Hong'er's words, this was completely opposite to the things she had been exposed to since she was a child, the master would protect the maidservant girl as much as possible, and it was also a "commodity" or "prop" like herself. ”

- He...... Why do you want to do this to me, Mo'er thought to herself.

"Mo'er, when you arrive in the capital, I want to send you to a private school to study," Jiang Hong'er said.

"Private ...... Juku? What is that place? Mo'er asked with some vigilance.

"Don't you know? Then it seems that it is right to send you to a private school to study, and a private school is a place where teachers teach students, and you ...... You need to experience more feelings, you need to understand your own joys, sorrows, and sorrows, and people have feelings...... And the articles in the book are other people's life stories, and you can learn a lot from them," Jiang Hong'er said.

"Good...... Mo'er went to study in a private school," Mo'er replied, her tone calming down.

The two of them headed towards the capital like this, and Mo'er slowly got used to being so close to Jiang Hong'er.

- The restlessness in my heart...... Slowly disappeared and my back ...... My ears ...... My heart...... It feels so warm.
