After the two of them walked for a while, Xie Jiuxiao slowed down his horse and suddenly said to Lu Chengfeng who was following him: "I know there is a place not far from here, and horse racing can be done there. Do you want to go?"

Lu Chengfeng's hand on the reins tightened, but his expression was natural as he said, "Young master, do you want to race a horse with me?"

Xie Jiuxiao looked at her: "There is no one else here, but I remember you called me by my first name last time."

Lu Chengfeng couldn't help but smile and said, "Yes?"

Xie Jiuxiao raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Should we compare?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "No comparison."

"Why?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head and said nothing.

Xie Jiuxiao was silent for a moment and asked suspiciously: "Don't you look down on me?"

Lu Chengfeng still didn't say anything, but Xie Jiuxiao thought she had acquiesced, and said a little aggrievedly: "You are looking down on me, aren't you? My equestrian skills are very good, even my eldest brother has praised me."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Yeah, it's really good. Your elder brother still praises you. No one has ever praised me for riding a horse well."

Xie Jiuxiao was suspicious: "No one has praised you? You are not..."

Lu Chengfeng said: "Let's just compete one game at a time, but I have a condition."

Xie Jiuxiao said: "What conditions?"

"If I win, you have to let me out of the house after autumn."

Xie Jiuxiao paused with a smile on her face and said, "Why do you want to leave the house?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "I can't stay at Xie's house forever."

"Why not?" Xie Jiuxiao frowned: "Who is making things difficult for you?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head and said, "No one made it difficult for me. It was me who wanted to get out."

Xie Jiuxiao was silent for a moment and said, "...you don't like Qinyuan?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "I like it, of course I do."

Xie Jiuxiao smiled: "You lied to me again. If you really like me, why would you want to leave?"

Lu Chengfeng looked at him sideways: "What's the use of liking it anymore, it's not mine."

Xie Jiuxiao's heart tightened inexplicably, feeling that what she said meant something, but he thought he was hiding it so well that she couldn't see what he was thinking. He paused and pretended to be relaxed: "You still want me?"

I dare to think of a garden."

Lu Chengfeng smiled slightly, looked into the distance, and said, "Do you want to compare?"

"Compare! Why not compare!"

Lu Chengfeng pulled the reins and came to his side and said: "I am willing to admit defeat, but don't cry if you lose."

Xie Jiuxiao was stunned for a moment, but Lu Chengfeng ignored him and shouted: "Drive!"

The next moment, the brown horse galloped away like an arrow.

Xie Jiuxiao didn't have time to think too much and chased after him.

The two of them galloped along the road, passing by the wind, forests, lakes... The world in Lu Chengfeng's heart was awakened, her expression gradually became gentle and wanton, and she even looked back: "You can do it

no?"

Xie Jiuxiao laughed twice and said, "Who are you looking down on?"

Lu Chengfeng said: "If you don't catch up, you will lose! Drive!"

A moment later, Lu Chengfeng stopped at a stream at the finish line. She turned over and dismounted, looked at the person who was catching up from a distance, raised her eyebrows, squatted down by the stream and washed her face with a bunch of water. She faced the clear water.

Looking at the stream, one can vaguely see that the scar on his face has completely disappeared. It has to be said that Yan Runtang's things are worth every penny, which is why they are expensive.

Xie Jiuxiao stopped in front of her, got off his horse, looked around, and said, "You win."

Lu Chengfeng said in a brisk tone: "The world here is too small. It is not as vast as Subei. Even horse racing is not fun."

It's not just about horse racing. In the small city of Yanjing, it's not just the horses that are trapped, but also her.

Lu Chengfeng sat on the ground under the tree, closing his eyes and enjoying the gentle wind, the water on his face had not yet been wiped dry.

Sensing the gaze, she opened her eyes and met Xie Jiuxiao's gaze. Lu Chengfeng did not doubt that he was there and closed his eyes again without saying anything.

Xie Jiuxiao looked away, washed his hands with water, looked around, and suddenly smiled: "Why are there fish here..."

Lu Chengfeng heard a rustling sound. She leaned against the tree trunk, folded her arms and opened one eye. Xie Jiuxiao took off her shoes and socks, and got a long stick from somewhere. He pulled off his sleeves and trousers.

Lifting it up, exposing his calves and arms, from this point of view, the young man looked as beautiful as the one in the painting.

Lu Chengfeng watched with interest, watching him walk slowly to the center of the stream, holding his breath, and then stabbed the long stick into the water. When he lifted it up, it was empty. However, Xie Jiuxiao was not discouraged until he repeated it several times.

Finally, Lu Chengfeng finally couldn't stand it anymore and said on the shore: "You can't do this. The fish here are wild and difficult to catch. You will startle them as soon as your stick touches the water."

Xie Jiuxiao held up a sharp wooden stick and turned around: "Come on, if you catch it, I will grill the fish for you."

Lu Chengfeng stood up with a smile. Without saying a word, she took off her shoes and socks and entered the water. The stream was very shallow, only covering her calves. She took the long stick and said, "Look at me."

Lu Chengfeng put the long stick into the water and moved slowly with the water. Xie Jiuxiao couldn't help but stare at her, but saw Lu Chengfeng smile. Suddenly the long stick moved, and then a palm-sized fish appeared in the sun. Lu Chengfeng

Feng laughed and said, "What is this?"

Her expression brightened slightly, Xie Jiuxiao clenched her fingers slightly, then quietly released them, and said: "...How about you teach me?"

Lu Chengfeng threw the fish ashore and said, "What to do if you learn this, this is something only a playboy can do."

Xie Jiuxiao said: "You can't do it too."

Lu Chengfeng handed over the long stick: "Assholes have done a lot of things before, so they can do it naturally."

Xie Jiuxiao took it and stabbed the fish according to her teachings, but missed twice. Lu Chengfeng walked to his side, stretched out his hand to hold a section of the stick, and whispered: "It's too slow."

Xie Jiuxiao was led by her and caught two or three in a row. When Lu Chengfeng saw that he had taken advantage of it, he said, "You can play with it slowly while I go to pick up some branches nearby to start a fire."

Xie Jiuxiao lowered his eyes and said softly: "Yes."

He didn't know if it was because of the sun, but Lu Chengfeng looked at Xie Jiuxiao and felt that something was wrong with him, but he couldn't explain it.

When she raised the fire cluster, Xie Jiuxiao had already packed up the fish. Lu Chengfeng looked at the clean and neat way of dissecting the fish, raised his eyebrows without saying anything, and piled a bunch of wild fruits on the ground.

The two sat face to face around the fire under the tree. After a while, the fish was grilled, and Lu Chengfeng was the first to taste it.

Xie Jiuxiao asked enthusiastically: "How is it? The fish I grilled will be good after all."

Lu Chengfeng smiled but said nothing.

Seeing her expression, Xie Jiuxiao couldn't help but wonder: "Isn't it delicious?"

He took a bite himself to make sure he wasn't roasted. He looked at Lu Chengfeng and said, "Don't like fish?"

Lu Chengfeng shook his head: "No, I just think the fish here are different from those at home."

Xie Jiuxiao was silent for a moment, opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.

Lu Chengfeng ate a fish cleanly. It was still early in the morning. Xie Jiuxiao took a few fruits on the ground to the stream to wash. When he came back, Lu Chengfeng leaned back against the tree trunk.

She had a casual posture, folded her arms, closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly when she heard the sound.

Xie Jiuxiao didn't disturb anyone, and sat down next to her, imitating Lu Chengfeng, and leaned over.

There was a gentle breeze and the surroundings were silent. Xie Jiuxiao looked into the distance. After a moment of silence, Xie Jiuxiao said: "The wooden box in the studio...have you seen the paintings in it?"

After a while, he added: "The tying method is different from what I tied. Thirteen will not touch my things."

Xie Jiuxiao couldn't wait for a long time for an answer. Looking sideways, she saw Lu Chengfeng leaning quietly under the tree, seemingly asleep.

Xie Jiuxiao smiled, moved closer, and said, "...Sister?"

Lu Chengfeng could no longer pretend and suddenly opened his eyes.
