He sat up with a start, only to realize he was drenched in sweat.
The cold wind hit him, and despite usually having a strong constitution, he sneezed.
He felt dampness beneath him and reached out to touch it, nearly fainting from embarrassment.

Jin Zijin had been watching him and noticed his unusual behavior early on.
"It's still early. There's no need to be in such a hurry to go, besides…"
"No, no, no…" Yue Rujing interrupted with a forced smile and said, "I can't arrive later than the Commandery Princess, I must go."
