"Gu Yin!" Nan Yin pushed open Gu Yin's door. At this moment, Gu Yin was dressed in white, a gentleman as elegant as jade, unparalleled in the world, aloof and proud, yet gentle and warm. He was in his study, holding a brush and painting, depicting what he admired.
Upon seeing Nan Yin enter, Gu Yin's lips curved slightly. He calmly put down his pen and casually covered the unfinished painting on the table.
"Come ride horses with me!" Nan Yin seemed very excited. At this time, Nan Yin was almost of marriageable age, standing tall and graceful, her red dress bright and eye-catching.
"Okay," Gu Yin said gently and affectionately. Nan Yin blushed slightly upon hearing this voice: "Speak properly..."
"Hmm?" Gu Yin's voice was thick with a nasal tone.
“…No,” Nan Yin turned her head away.
However, Gu Yin laughed when he saw Nan Yin's expression: "I usually talk like this, don't I?" Gu Yin said.
Nan Yin seemed a little awkward: "...Let's go, let's ride horses..." After saying this, Nan Yin ran out in a fluster. Gu Yin was slightly taken aback when he saw Nan Yin like this, and then chuckled softly. His laughter was enough to amaze time, as if it were the most beautiful and gentle thing in the world.
When Gu Yin went out, Nan Yin was already standing next to the horse, seeing Gu Yin arrive late.
"Why are you so slow?" Nan Yin complained, looking at him.
"I came as soon as you said it," Gu Yin said with a smile.
"Hmph, let's go." Nan Yin mounted her horse cleanly and neatly. Gu Yin rode the horse behind her and followed. They weren't going to the horse farm, but to the outskirts of the capital. After all, the horse farm was too small for Nan Yin. The outside world was much freer and more unrestrained.
"Giddy up!" After mounting her horse, Nan Yin displayed the same domineering and imposing manner as Nan Xiaoming.
Gu Yin followed behind Nan Yin, watching her ride a horse in red. Gu Yin suddenly thought, how wonderful it would be if things could always be like this... She should be able to live so freely.
The two ran for an unknown amount of time before finally stopping. Nan Yin dismounted from her horse. There was a lake there, which was quite beautiful. Gu Yin followed closely behind.
"You're too slow," Nan Yin said, glancing at Gu Yin with some dissatisfaction.
Gu Yin smiled gently: "My horsemanship is naturally inferior to yours, Yin'er."
Nan Yin didn't know what was wrong with her, but whenever she heard Gu Yin speak to her like that, she would inexplicably blush and feel embarrassed.
"Here, let's drink." Nan Yin took two bottles of wine from the horse.
"Are you going to drink again? Be careful not to get drunk again." Gu Yin said helplessly.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Just tell me, are you going to drink or not?" Nan Yin was still a little awkward; she had always enjoyed drinking.
Gu Yin was at his wit's end with her, so he simply took the wine.
"Aren't we going to ride back on horseback later? Don't drink too much," Gu Yin reminded him.
"Alright, alright, I know, why are you nagging?" Nan Yin said impatiently, then sat down on the spot. Gu Yin also walked over to her and sat down next to her.
“Gu Yin, I’ll be of marriageable age in two months,” Nan Yin suddenly said.
“Yes, Yin’er is a young lady now.” Gu Yin agreed with her.
"Tsk, you're clearly younger than me, but you always talk like an adult, and so maturely at that? What will you be like when you get even older?" Nan Yin gave him a disdainful look.
Gu Yin lowered his head, smiled gently, and didn't hold it against her. He opened the bottle of wine, tilted his head back, and drank it down. Nan Yin watched him, the sunlight falling and bathing him in its glow. The sake went down his throat, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly... Nan Yin was immediately captivated. Gu Yin... seemed somewhat alluring, but it had to be said, he was truly, truly handsome.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yin took a sip of his drink and noticed a burning gaze on him. He looked over and saw Nan Yin staring straight at him...
Caught red-handed, Nan Yin was a little embarrassed and quickly looked away: "Ahem, it's nothing, I was just seeing if you would actually drink." Nan Yin made up an excuse.
"Heh..." Gu Yin chuckled softly, his chest trembling slightly, the gentle rise and fall making the soft laughter even clearer.
Nan Yin's face immediately flushed red. She pretended to be calm and looked at Gu Yin: "What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Nan Yin shouted fiercely.
To her surprise, Gu Yin laughed even harder when he saw Nan Yin's current state. Nan Yin bit her lip lightly, feeling utterly embarrassed. So she simply grabbed Gu Yin directly: "You're not allowed to laugh! You're not allowed to laugh at me! How can you be so annoying?! Gu Yin!!!" Nan Yin's face was already burning red.
"Yin'er hasn't even had a drink yet, why is her face so red?" Gu Yin was deliberately trying to see Nan Yin "make a fool of herself" today, and now she's intentionally "exposing her shortcomings".
Nan Yin pouted angrily: "Stop laughing! I'll get angry if you laugh again! Who told you to have such a pretty face?! And now you're deliberately making fun of me, you're so annoying!" Nan Yin shouted.
Gu Yin looked at Nan Yin, who had hit him, and his heart softened. He knew he couldn't really provoke her, so he took Nan Yin's hand and stopped laughing: "Okay, it's my fault. I shouldn't have laughed at you, okay?"
"Hmph, I'm ignoring you." Nan Yin turned her face to the side and pulled her hand away.
"Okay, it's my fault, don't be like this, hurry up, didn't you want to drink?" Gu Yin knew that he must have pushed this girl too far.
"Hmph," Nan Yin opened the bottle and drank it down. Gu Yin followed suit. The wine tasted good and wasn't too strong, so it wouldn't hurt for her to drink a little.
"You just mentioned that you're coming of age. Is there anything you'd like as a coming-of-age gift?" Gu Yin softened her voice.
Nan Yin glanced at him: "Can you give me anything I want?"
"Tell me what you want?" Gu Yin raised an eyebrow. What you want... I will give you even if it costs me everything.
"Hmph, what's the point of asking for it myself? Don't you know that surprises are necessary? So you can prepare it yourself. Anyway, the gift can't be missing, and you can't let me know in advance, otherwise it won't be fun. How could you just ask someone what gift they want? You don't understand girls at all... Gu Yin, be careful you won't be able to marry a wife in the future," Nan Yin said.
"So what?" The person I want to marry is right in front of me, isn't she? But... Gu Yin suddenly seemed to think of something, and the light in her eyes dimmed.
Seeing Gu Yin's expression gradually change and her own demeanor change, Nan Yin wondered if she had said something wrong.
"Gu Yin... what's wrong? I was just joking, don't take it seriously..." Nan Yin said.
"Yes, I know..." Gu Yin looked at the person in front of her, and the emptiness in her heart gradually filled up.
