Chapter 46: Did they kiss?

After leaving the Huo Gang's guard team, Yun Chen and Yan Shijiu met in a sparsely populated place.

Yan Shijiu came over with a playful smile, "Brother Xiaoyun, did you miss me?"

Yun Chen always lost his composure in front of Yan Shijiu and couldn't act like a man. She found it hard to adapt to his shameless teasing. She blushed and said:

"Yan Shijiu, please speak properly. I have something important to discuss with you."

Yan Shijiu was still holding a short feather fan in the cold weather. He put it away and asked seriously, "Who to kill?"

Yun Chen was so angry that he wanted to hit him, but Yan Shijiu burst into laughter.

She said, "Lend me a set of ordinary gentleman's clothes and a face towel, I want to go and win a flower!"

"Flowers?" Yan Shijiu looked around. It was all bare winter grass branches, no flowers. He said:

"If you like flowers, I'll buy all the flowers in Yancheng tomorrow and send them to you at the Huo Mansion. Why bother racing for just one?"

She didn't want to explain in detail. "I just like the feeling of having to work hard to get a flower. Is that okay? Will you help me?"

"Help, help, help!" Yan Shijiu lowered his voice, approached her, and said with a smile, "Miss Yun, if you ask, I will answer you."

Before Yun Chen lost his temper, Yan Shijiu quickly found a set of men's riding clothes and a veil to cover his face.

It fits Yun Chen perfectly, as if it were tailor-made.

"Just fight with me and lose to me." Yun Chen said to Yan Shijiu.

Yan Shijiu gathered up his sleeves and the hem of his robe and asked, "What will you do if I win?"

"You are not allowed to win! You gave me to the princess as a favor, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"

"Well, I saved you first, and you haven't repaid me yet! If I hadn't happened to pass by the Yu Family Wharf, you would be dead!"

"You even lied to me that you were my benefactor and nearly killed me in the sea. Why didn't you tell me?"

"Hey? What are you doing? You're still—"

Yan Shijiu's eyes rolled around, and he smiled frivolously: "Forget it, I just like this feeling of being stuck with you."

Yun Chen cursed: "Yan Shijiu, you are truly shameless."

A moment later, the two arrived at the horse racing venue.

Yan Shijiu, one of Yan Shijiu's guards, and Yun Chen, who was wearing a mask, reined in their horses and stood side by side, waiting for orders.

The official hung a blooming gentian flower at the finish line, raised the hammer and struck the gong to signal the start.

Yan Shijiu was the first to charge out on horseback, followed closely by Yun Chen and his guards.

Along the way, they jumped over hurdles, passed through gates, shot arrows, played polo and beat drums...

Yan Shijiu's guards felt that they had been "defeated" when they passed through the doorway.

Only Yun Chen and Yan Shijiu were left, and they were chasing each other, one in front and the other behind. Yan Shijiu ran ahead of Yun Chen several times.

Yun Chen quickly whipped his horse's butt and rode side by side with Yan Shijiu, "I just asked you to race with me, why are you working so hard?"

Yan Shijiu smiled and said, "You like that flower. Wouldn't it be more interesting if I snatched it for you instead of trying to get it yourself?"

"Oh, no—" Yun Chen hadn't finished his words when Yan Shijiu pulled the reins hard, jumped high over the fence, clamped his legs against the horse, bent down to pick up the bow, raised his hand and shot an arrow right into the center of the bull's eye in the distance, drawing cheers from the people around him.

Seeing that Yan Shijiu was serious, Yun Chen quickly used his signature skills to catch up, shooting arrows on horseback and hitting the ball with two drums, which made all the guests in the high seats start to applaud.

In the end, Yun Chen narrowly won, being only half a step faster than Yan Shijiu, and took the gentian flower.

Yun Chen held the flowers and rode his horse slowly towards the viewing gallery.

Everyone was waiting to see who the mysterious masked boy would give the flowers to.

But others don’t know that Ye Yan and Hua Jue, who spend every day with Yun Chen, must recognize her figure.

Thinking about the fact that Xiaoyue had come to see Yunchen just now, and looking at Huo Luyu's empty hands without a single flower, Ye Yan guessed about 70% of the answer, and then went to Huo Gannian's ear to explain a few words.

Sure enough, Yun Chen rode his horse to Huo Luyu, dismounted, and presented him with gentian flowers.

Amid the laughter of the young men and women around him, Huo Luyu looked at the familiar pair of eyes and couldn't help but be stunned, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Yun..." Huo Luyu had just uttered a word when Yun Chen interrupted her: "Beauty is like a flower in the clouds. Second Miss Huo, I wish you well."

Huo Luyu lowered her eyes, bit her lip, took the platycodon flower, and said softly, "Thank you."

Yun Chen was very depressed. Even though she was wearing a veil, how could Huo Luyu still recognize her?

She bowed, mounted her horse, and slowly walked out of the field.

Unexpectedly, the short-sighted Yan Shijiu suddenly rushed over on his horse. Yun Chen was caught off guard and fell off his horse, sitting on his butt on the ground.

Two horses blocked most people's view.

Yan Shijiu jumped off the horse in a dashing manner, her clothes fluttering as she landed in front of Yun Chen. She tore off the veil from her face and threw it high into the air.

The face towel spread out in the air and gently fell on the top of Yun Chen's head. At the moment it was about to fall, Yan Shijiu suddenly leaned over and got under the face towel, put his nose against hers, and took out a dogtail grass like a magic trick, chuckling:

"Miss Yun, please accept it."

Yun Chen was so frightened that his breathing stopped and he stared blankly at Yan Shijiu.

The silly look on that little face was completely seen by Yan Shijiu.

Before she could speak, Yan Shijiu lifted the handkerchief and folded it around her face again, as if nothing had happened. He quickly jumped on the horse, said "goodbye" with a smile, and rode away.

Everything happened so fast that she didn't even have time to react before a furry foxtail grass appeared in her hand.

She subconsciously hid the dogtail grass in her lapel, then realized that she had been tricked by Yan Shijiu again, so she quickly took out the grass and threw it away, then looked up -

Huo Gannian was sitting on a high seat on the balcony not far away, watching her quietly. There was no expression on his face, as calm as a pool of dark blue stagnant water.

Ye Yan stood behind "Dead Water". From his perspective, there was no horse blocking his view, so he could see clearly what was happening.

Ye Yan's face froze slightly, and he said awkwardly:

"That... Ah Chen was trying to win the Second Miss's favor and reputation, and I thought... This Yan Shijiu... I really didn't expect..."

What were they doing under the scarf? Did they kiss?

Looking at Huo Gannian's face, which was as cold as ice and as black as the bottom of a pot, Ye Yan didn't dare to say this.
