He sat steadily on the horse's back, as if he had become one with the horse. Every time the horse shook violently, it seemed to be a display of his strength. His waist and abdomen hidden under his long gown seemed to have endless energy, supporting him to stand still on the horse's back.
"it is good."
“What a skill!”
There was a sudden burst of cheers from the scene. Luo Shuiyao looked over and saw several people standing on the right. When they saw the rider quickly subdued the wild horse, they couldn't help but cheer loudly.
The man in the moon-white shirt who had subdued the fierce horse heard the crowd's cheers and didn't turn back. Instead, he squeezed the horse's belly, urging it to run even faster. As he ran back around the field, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Luo Shuiyao standing at the sidelines. He yanked the reins, and the horse's front hooves rose high, arced in the air, and then dropped back down, steadying itself.
Seeing this, several men standing nearby laughed and joked, "What's the matter? Ye Dusi just tamed this fiery horse, and he has lost interest in horse racing so quickly?"
Ye Yunzhou didn't respond to their teasing. He simply thrust the reins into the hands of the person closest to him and said, "I've already tamed this horse. I think it would be much easier for you to ride it. You can continue taming it. I have to leave for a while."
The man was a little puzzled and followed his gaze to the outside of the arena, only to see a woman in plain clothes standing there. Even though the woman's clothes were simple and unassuming, her beauty could still be seen.
Before he could even ask who the woman was, Ye Yunzhou had already turned and walked out of the arena. Even though he tried to restrain himself, those who knew him well could still see that his pace was slightly faster than usual.
The man who took the reins winked at the person next to him and whispered, "Who is this girl? Could she be Ye Dusi's sweetheart?"
The person opposite him responded with a look: "Who knows?" But judging by his anxious look, it's probably true.
The man nodded secretly again: I think so too, otherwise why would the girl follow me to this remote place?
Ye Yunzhou paid no attention to the thoughts of the people behind him. He seemed to be walking forward calmly, but only he knew how stiff his body was at that moment. He was so tense that his hands and feet were almost at the same place. Every step felt like moving on a taut string.
Luo Shuiyao just looked at him calmly, showing neither joy nor disgust, just like when she met an ordinary person in her daily life. Her expression was indifferent and calm, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.
Her expression made Ye Yunzhou feel a little uneasy. However, with so many people around him, he couldn't show his emotions. He just pretended to be calm and asked her, "Why are you here?"
Luo Shuiyao found it quite funny and raised her eyebrows slightly, saying, "Didn't you ask someone to send me here?"
Ye Yunzhou's whole body froze, and he looked at Zhuangzi expressionlessly. Zhuangzi didn't even dare to breathe, and only used his eyes to try to show that this matter had nothing to do with him.
Ye Yi finally realized what was happening. It turned out that it was his son who had the manor trick Miss Luo into coming here, and then asked him to pick her up, only to be exposed at the door. This was terrible. If the son knew that he had made him look so bad in front of his beloved, wouldn't he hide his skin?
He could still feel a dull pain in his buttocks; the memory of being hit with a stick hadn't faded. He could only try his best to act clueless, with a confused look in his eyes, as if he had no idea what they were talking about, trying to cover up his guilty conscience.
Ye Yunzhou stared at Zhuangzi for a few seconds, then looked away, too lazy to argue with him anymore.
Then, he looked at Luo Shuiyao. At this moment, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows showed a hint of softness. He said softly, "I have something I want to explain to you."
Luo Shuiyao guessed something in her mind, thinking that they seemed to have to live together under the same roof for a while anyway, and avoiding it would not solve any problems, so it would be better to talk it out.
So, she didn't shy away from it and responded directly: "Then find a place and let's talk."
"Then come with me." After saying that, he turned around and motioned Luo Shuiyao to follow.
Luo Shuiyao didn't say anything, but followed him silently.
Zhuangzi and Ye Yi exchanged a glance, their eyes seemingly locked in a heated debate. After some back-and-forth, they finally agreed to follow and see what happened. They were genuinely curious about what they were going to say, and how the icy prince would try to please his beloved.
The two of them walked forward a few steps. Ye Yunzhou noticed that Luo Shuiyao's steps were small, and she was two steps behind him. He paused slightly, took a step back, and walked side by side with her.
Luo Shuiyao noticed his movements and looked up at his profile. She saw that his angular face looked a little haggard, as if he had lost a lot of weight, and even his chin was a little pointed.
He stared straight ahead, seemingly unaware of Luo Shuiyao's gaze. But only he knew that his heart was beating violently in his chest.
After spending some time together, he could probably see a little bit. Luo Shuiyao's personality was very different from that of the women in Kyoto. The women here were probably born to live under the wings of men, and regarded men as their heaven.
But she longs for equality and the ability to go further on her own. People like her don't like to follow others and should prefer to get along with others as equals rather than rely on others and let them dominate their lives.
He didn't know why she had such thoughts, but perhaps it was precisely because she had such thoughts that attracted him, made his eyes linger on her again and again, and made him deeply attracted to her again and again.
The few of them walked silently to Ye Yunzhou's independent courtyard. The courtyard was very simple, with a stone table in the middle and several stone benches surrounding it.
Ye Yunzhou took slight steps, walked forward, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, gently wiped off the dust on the stool and table, and then gestured for Luo Shuiyao to sit down.
Ye Yi, who was standing by, froze in mid-air, his hand reaching for the handkerchief frozen in mid-air, staring at his own son's actions in astonishment. He had never seen anything like this before; this was the first time he had seen his own son so considerate and caring.
After Luo Shuiyao sat down, Ye Yunzhou turned around and glanced at Ye Yi.
Ye Yi's brain hadn't reacted yet, he just stared at him blankly.
Ye Yunzhou frowned and looked at Zhuangzi, but Zhuangzi's expression became even more exaggerated.
He sighed secretly, cast his gaze towards Luo Shuiyao, and said softly: "You rest here, I'll make you a pot of tea."
Luo Shuiyao nodded and said okay.
After watching Ye Yunzhou's back disappear into the house, Ye Fang looked at Luo Shuiyao with a somewhat uncertain expression and said, "I heard that the foxes in the mountains have become spirits and are very good at bewitching people."
