Gu Tiantian felt a sense of sour softness in her heart, her emotions complex. After a while, she turned her face and looked at the villager driving the carriage ahead.
The rain poured harder. By the time they reached the little thatched hut at the bend ahead, the straw raincoat draped over them was already dripping steadily.
Seeing Bai Chenyao struggling to keep the wind and rain outside with the straw raincoat, Gu Tiantian frowned and quickly spoke.
"A Yao, I'm okay, you take a good rest. Take down the straw raincoat and shake off the water, don't let your clothes get soaked."
Bai Chenyao gently responded, and once inside the hut, he took off the straw raincoat and rain hat, hung the raincoat at the doorway like the villager beside him, and set the hat aside to drain water.
The heavy rain lasted about half an hour; once it stopped, the group moved on.
Gu Tiantian was still held tight by Bai Chenyao, sitting in the donkey cart.
