This path was just enough for two horses to ride side by side. The two of them rode leisurely.
The weather at the end of February was just right. The spring breeze in the suburbs blew past, and the fragrant grass was like a carpet. From time to time, birds could be seen chirping on the branches by the roadside. It was very comfortable.
It was a good day for a trip.
“Aren’t we going to Tianhe Garden?” As she rode, Gu Yanfei casually broke a wild flower from a branch by the roadside and played with it.
She originally thought that Chu Yi had said that he wanted to bring her out to play at Tianhe Garden. Unexpectedly, 10 minutes later, he suddenly asked her to follow him along this path.
“Yes.” Chu Yi walked side by side with her and smiled. His beautiful eyes seemed to have the warmth of spring, making her drunk. “I’ll bring you somewhere first.”
Compared to Gu Yanfci’s leisurely and unrestrained attitude, his riding posture was so elegant. That graceful and noble aura seemed to be engraved in his bones.
Gu Yanfei liked to look at Chu Yi. No matter what he did… No, even if he did nothing, he looked good.
She also liked to see him smile. She hoped that when he was with her, he could always smile like this and be as happy as he was now.
Judging others by his own standards, he probably liked to see her smile too.
“Okay!” Gu Yanfei smiled brightly. His bright smile couldn’t help but spread from the corners of his lips and eyes.
The two of them rode west and sped along the winding and uninhabited path.
Gu Yanfei’s Akhal-Teke horse was like a bird released from a cage. It ran faster and faster…
Chu Yi’s white horse was also a good horse that traveled a thousand miles a day. It didn’t fall behind.
Two hours later, the two of them arrived in a delicate forest and stopped at the foot of the mountain.
Chu Yi offered his hand to help Gu Yanfei off the horse.
“Be careful.”
His hand was clean and warm. It wrapped around Gu Yanfei’s small hand, and the warm heat pressed against her palm.
The mountain path wasn’t easy to walk on. From time to time, he would remind her to be careful of her feet.
Gu Yanfei followed him obediently. After walking for a while, she heard the faint sound of spring water splashing.
After passing through a green bamboo forest, the two of them saw a stream gurgling down the stone gaps of the mountain stream.
The stream was crystal clear and gurgled. It sparkled under the dazzling sunlight. Occasionally, it would spew and splash water droplets. A few green bamboo leaves floated in the clear stream…
“Neigh!”
The Akhal-Teke horse following behind Gu Yanfei ran happily to the stream and drank water by itself.
“This spring water seems to be good.” Gu Yanfei raised her eyebrows and pulled Chu Yi’s hand to take a few steps upstream. “Hongyu is very picky.”
Gu Yanfei pulled Chu Yi and squatted by the stream. She put her palms together and scooped up a handful of spring water. She brought it to her lips and took two sips.
The spring water was sweet and clear.
She smiled happily and turned to look at him. “It’s very sweet. Try it too.”
Chu Yi nodded and held her palm with his left hand. He leaned over and took a sip of water from her palm.
When he leaned over, Gu Yanfei could smell the incense fragrance on his body. It was elegant and light.
His lips brushed past her palm inadvertently, and his hot breath blew against her skin. It was itchy and warm.
“It’s very sweet.” Chu Yi looked up at her and smiled.
His voice was gentle and a little hoarse, as if he was bewitching her.
The sun shone through the gaps between the bamboo leaves and sprinkled mottled light on his face. The two of them were very close, and their faces were only half a foot apart. Gu Yanfei could clearly see that his handsome eyebrows were filled with pure joy.
When the wind blew, a few strands of hair on his temple gently caressed her ear, making it a little itchy.
Gu Yanfei subconsciously brushed away those naughty strands of hair, but he saw him bend down and lean closer to her. The two of them were almost touching the tip of their noses.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she felt as if she had brushed against his eyelashes.
Thud! Thud!
Her heart was beating like a drum. Her eyelashes fluttered again, and her gaze moved down to his lips, which were stained with a drop of water.
His moist lips were especially red under the sun, like a delicate flower that had been watered by rain.
It looked like it was easy to ravage…
This thought made her heart tremble and she almost went along with it. He leaned over faster, his eyes dark and hot.
For a moment, Gu Yanfei thought that he would kiss her..
