Chapter 79 Part 2: Riding Together

 

^^

 

Gu Hui Yan didn't insisted, but he had already thinking, what he said or did that accidently affect Lin Wei Xi? Lin Wei Xi walked side by side with Gu Hui Yan for a while, and gradually no longer satisfied with such a slow pace, she said, "Wangye, I want to run faster."

 

"No, you still can't control this speed. Although this place has been cleaned up as a imperial hunting ground, the surrounding terrain is complicated and many places are still very dangerous."

 

Lin Wei Xi refused to admit defeat: "I can."

 

Gu Hui Yan sighed and stretched out his hand to her: "Come here, I will take you for a run."

 

Lin Wei Xi was stunned for a moment before realizing that Gu Hui Yan wanted to carry her on his Zhao Xue. That's Zhao Xue, Yan Wang was famous for his love of horses, and he would never allow anyone touch his warhorse. Lin Wei Xi's eyes were shining, she was both excited and uneasy: "Can I?"

 

"Of course."

 

Lin Wei Xi couldn't help but want to jump immediately, but she looked around: "How do I get down... Ahh!"

 

Before Lin Wei Xi finished speaking, she felt her waist tighten, and she was picked by Gu Hui Yan, and placed sideway in front of him. Zhao Xue was much taller than her little mare, Lin Wei Xi suddenly lost her strength, and subconsciously climbed to the only support: "Wangye..."

 

"It's okay, relax, Zhao Xue won't let you fall."

 

Lin Wei Xi still tightly encircled Gu Hui Yan's arms and shoulders. Gu Hui Yan let Zhao Xue take two steps. When Lin Wei Xi got used to this speed, he suddenly accelerated and galloped across the endless grassland.

 

The speed suddenly increased, and the wind rushed towards her. Lin Wei Xi pressed her face tightly on Gu Hui Yan's chest, too scared to look up. Only the whistling wind could be heard in her ears, as if the whole world was far away from them, only Gu Hui Yan's heartbeat, firm and clear, resounded strongly in her world.

 

The wind speed was extremely high, one could imagine how fast they were running. Lin Wei Xi had never seen this kind of speed. She was instinctively afraid of falling down, but Gu Hui Yan's arms were always firmly surrounded her, warm and powerful, as indestructible as iron.

 

Lin Wei Xi gradually calmed down. She raised her head from Gu Hui Yan’s body, holding his shoulder with one hand while looking out to the outside world.

 

The wind on the grassland rushed toward her face, with the unique fragrance of the evening's warmth and the green grass, unspeakably comfortable. Lin Wei Xi became more and more adapted to this state, and the smile on her face bloomed.

 

"Wangye, is Zhao Xue a Maxima? (tn: horse that can run thousands-miles a day) It runs really fast."

 

"Traveling a thousand of miles during the day, and eight hundred miles at night." After Gu Hui Yan finished speaking, he tightened his reins abruptly, Zhao Xue’s front hoofs shot to the sky, hissed in the air, turned sharply and ran back without slowing down.

 

Lin Wei Xi's body rose into the air and she couldn't help screaming. After she calmed down, Lin Wei Xi clutched her heart and angrily pinched Gu Hui Yan's arm: "What are you doing, scared me to death!"

 

Gu Hui Yan gave a low laugh, his chest trembling, even if ones couldn't see his expression, ones could guess that he was extremely happy now: "Zhao Xue run fast, and if we go further, the place is not cleared. There are too many idlers, being bothered by them is too troublesome."

 

Lin Wei Xi also didn't want to be disturbed when she was riding with Gu Hui Yan, but don't think that Lin Wei Xi could forgive him by saying this. Lin Wei Xi snorted softly, "You just make excuse for yourself. I also know you did it on purpose."

 

Gu Hui Yan smiled. He freed one hand and steered the horse with one hand. while the other hand rubbed Lin Wei Xi's head: "The temper still quiet big. I was wrong. Don't be angry."

 

Lin Wei Xi curled her lips and didn't want to pay attention to him. After a while they could gradually see the other figures, Gu Hui Yan slowed down and let Zhao Xue slowly paced back.

 

Wan Xing and Wan Yue saw Lin Wei Xi subconsciously want to welcome her, but when they saw Wangfei was sitting on Yan Wang’s horse, they didn't know whether they should disturb or not. While they were still hesitating, Gu Hui Yan had already reined his horse, nimbly got off the horse, and hugged Lin Wei Xi to come down.

 

Lin Wei Xi blushed and her eyes were washed with excitement, astonishingly gorgeous. Everyone who saw her gave a chuckle in their hearts. Wan Xing and Wan Yue surrounded Lin Wei Xi and asked after her, the entire lawn instantly became lively. Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran also walked over slowly. Gu Hui Yan stood on one side, and when he saw Gu Cheng Yao and his wife pay respect, he just nodded as the answer.

 

Wan Xing and Wan Yue roughly swept away the dust on Lin Wei Xi's body, and then the maids dispersed. Lin Wei Xi then saw Gu Cheng Yao and Gao Ran. Gao Ran stepped forward to greet Lin Wei Xi. Lin Wei Xi nodded and said, "You are considerate, I am not uncomfortable. It's not early, go back to the house."

 

Everyone got Lin Wei Xi's words, simultaneously agreed, and then turned like spinning top. The people gradually dispersed. Lin Wei Xi saw Gu Cheng Yao move his left shoulder. Her years of education made her notice the small movements of others at all times, and promptly deliver the most appropriate words of concern. Lin Wei Xi said casually: "Shizi takes care of your body and pay attention to the wound."

 

Gu Cheng Yao was taken aback for a moment, and said, "Thanking mother for the reminder."

 

The people ahead was ready, Lin Wei Xi walked past Gu Cheng Yao to find Gu Hui Yan. Gu Cheng Yao watched Lin Wei Xi walk away, his expression still calm, but his fingers already cold since long ago.

 

He accidentally fell from a rock when he was a child and left an injury on his left shoulder. Because he sneaked out by himself, he never told the adults. He never took the initiative to talk about this wound, Gu Hui Yan didn't know, even the servants and the maids in Gu Cheng Yao’s courtyard also didn’t know the truth.

 

Except for Gao Xi and Gao Ran, it was inevitable for those two people to see. If Gao Ran knew it was not strange, but Gao Ran wouldn’t tell her mother-in-law these details. Then, how did Lin Wei Xi know that he had an old wound on his left shoulder?

 

Of course, in fact, this matter was more likely to be Gu Cheng Yao's own thinking. He was punished by Yan Wang a few days ago with a wound on his back. Lin Wei Xi was actually talking about this. But Gu Cheng Yao was bewitched and fell into a crazy thought. Lin Wei Xi's words and actions were nothing like a person who had been sick since she was little and grew up in the village. She fit perfectly with the rich and honorable Yan Wang Mansion, as if she originally belongs there. Remarks could be falsify, but the person’ natural temperament and demeanor could not deceive.

 

Could a woman whose mother died prematurely, who had been sick for many years and was raised by an eccentric aunt, really cultivate such a calm and noble temperament?
