Chapter 25
The horse ranch was in the suburbs, and the area around it looked quite empty. Fang Chen followed Sis out of the car, looked around, and couldn't help but ask, "Is this horse ranch not doing well? Why is there no one here?"
Xisi said casually, "Maybe it's a weekday, so there aren't many people around."
Fang Chen nodded, not thinking too much about it.
The boss came in person. The manager of the horse farm was waiting outside the gate. When he saw the two people, he immediately greeted them enthusiastically, "Hey, gentlemen, welcome to the horse farm."
Fang Chen asked quietly, "Do you come here often?"
"I'll come over when I'm free."
Xisi took Fang Chen's hand and led him inside. "Let me show you my horse first."
Fang Chen followed him subconsciously, but couldn't help but look down at the two people's hands tightly holding each other, blinked gently, and struggled a little in his heart, but still didn't break free.
The boss's horse is naturally the boss among horses, with its own luxurious stable. It was very excited when it was led out, and when it saw Sith, it wanted to rub against him.
Fang Chen, who was standing next to him, was startled by the horse's head that suddenly popped out and quickly hid behind Sith.
“Zoe, stop!” the man whispered.
Fang Chen poked his head out from behind Sith, curiously gazing at the tall, jet-black horse. "Zoe? Is that his name?"
Facing Fang Chen, the man's tone softened, "Well, you can try calling him and then touch it."
"Touch? I don't dare."
Sith smiled at him, "It's okay, I'll hold your hand. He actually has a good temper."
Really?
Fang Chen looked at the big black horse with suspicion, as if he wanted to spit at him with his nostrils.
The man held Fang Chen's hand and took him to touch Zoe's head. "Let him get familiar with you, and he'll feel much better. I'll take you for a run later."
Fang Chen was shocked. "Ride Zoe? Should I try riding a pony first? A docile one."
"No need." The man lied calmly, "I'll take you with me, and we'll ride a horse."
"All right."
Fang Chen touched Zoe's ear again and smiled at him, "Thank you for your hard work."
Zoe looked fierce, but was surprisingly easy to coax. Fang Chen touched it and smiled at it, and it immediately came over and wanted to get close to Fang Chen, but was coldly pulled aside by Sith.
"Ignore him, let's go to the locker room first."
Before riding a horse, you should change your clothes first.
The stables provided clothing, and Xisi simply had someone get a new set of clothes according to Fang Chen's size.
Handing the clothes to Fang Chen, he stood at the door of the dressing room, paused for a moment, and asked, "Some buttons are difficult to button. Do you want my help?"
Fang Chen's eyes widened. He snatched the clothes and went into the locker room. The door was slammed shut in front of Sis.
The man twitched the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were dark.
It was the first time for Fang Chen to change into such clothes, so he was inevitably slow. When he came out, the man had already changed his clothes and was waiting for him at the door.
Hearing the voice, Sis put away his phone and raised his eyes.
The already round riding helmet on the boy's head made it look even rounder. Sis wanted to laugh, but he held it back. He went over to help him tighten the loose button at his chin. "Very handsome."
The man was helping him button his shirt, so Fang Chen had to raise his chin a little. But even so, the man's big hands could always touch his chin, making it tingle and numb like tickling a kitten.
Fang Chen's ears turned red unconsciously, and he couldn't help but ask, "Are you done yet?"
The voice was a little nasal, and sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
The man paused, stopping his movements. "Alright."
Fang Chen shook his head to make sure the hat was fastened tightly before he looked Sis up and down seriously.
The black riding suit, white breeches and leather boots, coupled with the man's stern face, made him look like a medieval knight.
Wait… white pants? People online say white pants flatter your figure the most… is that true?
The lamb's eyes glanced over unconsciously.
It seems a bit obvious...
"What are you thinking about?" The man's faint voice sounded above his head.
Fang Chen raised his head abruptly and confessed in a panic, "I didn't see it. I didn't see anything."
The man narrowed his eyes.
Fang Chen was almost like a roasted whole lamb, his face was completely red and still steaming.
He walked out with his head down. "Aren't we going to ride horses? Come on, Zoe's waiting anxiously."
Sith didn't ask him any more questions and followed him out.
Because the field had been cleared in advance, there were only two of them in the entire stable. Sis led the horse and briefly explained the process of mounting the horse to Fang Chen.
He deliberately used some professional terms, but Fang Chen didn't quite understand and just blinked at him blankly.
Sith smiled and said, "It's a little difficult, otherwise I'll carry you on the horse."
"ah?"
Before Fang Chen could react, the man put his arm around his waist, picked him up, and easily put him on the horse.
Eh??!
The next second, the man also climbed onto the horse and sat steadily behind him.
Before he could think any more, Fang Chen's body stiffened.
The place was so small and the man was so tall that after he sat down, Fang Chen was almost pressed tightly against his chest. Through a thin layer of cloth, the burning sensation behind him almost enveloped him.
What's the difference between this and being held in a man's arms!?!
Sith's hand reached over him to pull the reins, thus completely enclosing the boy in his arms.
His tone was normal, "Let me take you for a run first."
The man clamped his legs around the horse's belly. Zoe got the signal and immediately broke into a trot. Fang Chen could accept the speed at the beginning. It was his first time riding a horse and he was in high spirits. Sitting on the horse and feeling the wind blowing past his ears, he even found it very exciting.
But what good people can Sith be?
He lowered his eyes to glance at the excited Fang Chen, and touched Zoe's horse's belly with his calf. The man and the horse had a very good understanding. Zoe immediately swung the horse's hooves and ran happily.
The sudden increase in speed made Fang Chen exclaim in surprise. Due to inertia, Fang Chen leaned back unconsciously, with his entire body pressed against the man's arms.
The corners of Sith's mouth curled up slightly.
He loosened one of his hands that was pulling at the reins, and instead put his arm around Fang Chen's waist, leaning his head close to his ear, "Don't be afraid."
The car was immediately bumpy, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, the man's lips brushed against the tip of Fang Chen's ear, causing the little lamb to tremble all over.
Zoe ran faster and faster, the wind whistling and blowing violently in his ears. Fang Chen didn't even have time to look at the scenery on both sides. He just felt his heart in his throat.
It was not only because of the tension of galloping on horseback, but also because the man's hand around her waist was getting tighter and tighter, almost like she was embedding herself into the man's body.
After running a few laps, Zoe finally stopped. Sis pulled the reins to steady the horse. He jumped off nimbly and then opened his arms towards Fang Chen.
The boy's face was still a little red, he was breathing heavily, and his black hair was blown into a mess.
He hesitated, then held out his hand to Sith.
The next action was very natural. The boy hugged Sith's neck, and Sith held his butt firmly and carried him down.
After picking him up, the man did not put him down.
Instead, she just carried him back and said, "Are you tired? There's iced juice in the lounge. You can take a break before going out to play."
It’s all fine whether to take a break or not... Can you please stop holding him like this while talking to him?
Fang Chen kicked his calf twice, "Put me down, I can walk by myself."
"Don't move." The man whispered, "This is your first time riding a horse, so your legs will get sore easily. I'll carry you back."
Fang Chen's struggle was so weak that it was not enough for the man, so he was carried back like a little doll.
Never mind, there's no one else here anyway.
Fang Chen gave up struggling and stopped moving obediently, even lazily resting his head on the man's shoulder.
It was indeed a bit too exciting just now.
He was so frightened that he hasn't recovered yet.
For the first time, the man felt that the horse farm here was not big enough, otherwise he could have walked a little further with the lamb in his arms.
Arrived at the lounge.
Sis had to let go and put the person on the sofa.
His arms felt empty, and his hands seemed to still feel the soft touch that had just been applied. Sith felt a little reluctant in his heart, but his expression remained normal.
"What would you like to drink? Orange juice, please?"
Having been carried all the way, even now sitting on the sofa, Fang Chen could vaguely feel a pair of large hands pressing on his buttocks, which was rather uncomfortable. He shifted uncomfortably on the sofa and uttered a casual "hmm".
Because of Sis's order, the lounge was empty without even a waiter. He went to the refreshment table himself and poured a glass of orange juice and handed it to Fang Chen.
Taking the glass, Fang Chen drank most of it in small sips, then looked up at Sith and said, "This horse farm is also yours, right?"
Sith raised his brow.
Wow, the lamb is using his brain.
Even if business is slow, there will still be customers. Moreover, the place is well built and does not look like a dilapidated place at all.
The lamb was gnashing its teeth secretly.
Got cheated again.
Sis didn't answer yes or no, but asked him, "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Fang Chen, “…”
Forgive him for not hearing clearly, what gift? Are you going to give him this horse farm? ! !
Rich people are so scary!
Fang Chen clenched his fists and looked up at the man, "You don't really want to take me riding, do you?"
Xisi chuckled, but his dark eyes were fixed on Fang Chen. "If you're not riding, why would I bring you to the stables?"
To hook him, of course! To play with him!
Fang Chen couldn't say anything. He was silent for a while before he said sullenly, "When are we having spicy crayfish?"
Sis was stunned for a rare moment, and then he almost couldn't help smiling. He took the initiative to go over and hold Fang Chen's hand, but Fang Chen dodged for a moment. Sis didn't hesitate and held his hand again forcefully.
"Now, take you back."
.
Fang Chen turned his grief and anger into appetite, and finished a whole bowl of food. Finally, he packed up two more boxes and went back with his belly full.
When Sis dropped him off, he just started, "Tomorrow—"
Fang Chen quickly took over the conversation, "I have to go to school to rehearse a play tomorrow, so I may not have time recently."
Sis frowned slightly, but didn't say anything more. He had done enough today and couldn't be pushed too hard.
Besides, who said we can’t see each other at school?
Isn’t he also a student of WK?
It’s just that there are fewer classes this semester, so Xisi doesn’t go there often. The few times he came to school, it was almost always to pick up Fang Chen.
Sis called Joey in advance to find out the location of the rehearsal room for the final performance, and went there at the right time the next day.
"Fang Chen, emotion! You should be a little flattering at this time, you need to put yourself into the role!"
The play they were rehearsing was a very old one, The Butterfly Lovers, and Fang Chen was... Ma Wencai's servant. He had chosen this role himself, as it would require minimal screen time, be easy, and be a bit more relaxed.
But the worst thing is that the actor who was finally chosen to play Liang Shanbo was Chen Fang.
The boy who stopped him at the beach and talked a lot.
If Fang Chen hadn't agreed to Zhou Lili in a fit of rage yesterday, he really wanted to go on strike.
Chen Fang smiled and said, "Let's take a break first. Everyone is tired."
Zhou Lili glanced at the time and said, "Okay, let's take a fifteen-minute break and reunite later."
As soon as he heard the word "rest", Fang Chen rushed to the sofa next to him and collapsed on a small lamb blanket.
Chen Fang handed him a bottle of soda and said, "You must be tired."
Fang Chen took a look and didn't answer. "Thank you, I'm not thirsty."
Chen Fang said in a good-tempered tone, "Actually, I think you should play Liang Shanbo. You're much more handsome than me."
Fang Chen shook his head. "It doesn't matter what role I play."
After he finished speaking, before Chen Fang could say the next word, he quickly pulled his coat over his head and said in a muffled voice, "I'm a little tired."
Chen Fang choked and had to leave in disappointment.
Fang Chen was depressed in his coat, thinking about the message that Xisi had just sent him, asking if he was busy, but Fang Chen had not had time to reply.
"Hey! Are you guys rehearsing for a show? Wow, that's a cool outfit! Is it your country's traditional costume?"
Through the clothes covering my head, I heard a voice coming from outside.
Um? ?
This voice sounds a little familiar.
"Senior Joey? Why are you here?" Zhou Lili went over to greet him enthusiastically.
Joey is considered a social butterfly in school, and he knows people in every circle.
"Come over and play, can you watch?"
"sure!"
Fang Chen was still covered in his clothes, but his heartbeat inexplicably quickened.
Joey is here, but where is Cis?
Just as he was thinking about the man, he heard Joey continue, "Let me introduce you to Heath Bolton. How about it? I think we have brought you a heavyweight guest."
The rehearsal room was quiet for a moment, but was soon drowned out by the noise again.
Fang Chen didn't move, but snorted inwardly.
Big celebrity!
Come here to show off.
He felt inexplicably depressed and uncomfortable, but Fang Chen didn't know where this emotion came from. The next second, he heard Zhou Lili calling him, "Fang Chen, gather."
The boy lifted up his coat, revealing a stern little face. He looked grumpy. He deliberately didn't look at Xisi and walked directly towards Zhou Lili. "Practice again, then I'll go back."
Zhou Lili saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, so she didn't force him to stay. "Okay."
The next scene to be rehearsed is him acting as a lackey and bullying Liang Shanbo in school.
He angrily threw a fist and hit Liang Shanbo in the chest, and Chen Fang fell to the ground.
The lackey Xiaoyang even kicked him twice, "I told you not to ruin our young master's good deeds!"
It looks very fierce.
Below the stage, Xisi sat lazily on a chair, looking like a judge, his slightly gloomy eyes fixed on Fang Chen without missing an inch.
He narrowed his eyes in displeasure.
Very annoying.
He hated that so many people were looking at his lamb.
After Fang Chen finished rehearsing his scenes, he went backstage to change his clothes without even looking at Xisi.
The man sat there for two more seconds and then followed.
Zhou Lili just brought the soda over and asked, "Hey? Where's Sis going?"
"Who knows? Don't worry about him. Maybe he can go get some fresh air." Joey tried to smooth things over with a smile.
I thought, where else could he go? He might as well go after Fang Chen.
The dressing room backstage was very simple. Just as Fang Chen was about to close the door, a large hand came up and forcefully pushed the door open.
It's Sith.
Fang Chen wasn't surprised at all. He just frowned and asked, "What are you going to do?"
The man stared at him for a few seconds, "Are you angry?"
Xisi found that he could never figure out why Fang Chen was angry, but no matter why, it seemed to be related to him.
"No, I need to change."
Sis pretended not to hear him and didn't move, still holding the door. "I sent you a message this morning and you didn't reply."
Fang Chen lowered his head and said, "I didn't see it."
Little liar.
Xisi called him that in his heart. But his face was calm, and he even smiled at Fang Chen. He turned to ask him, "Are you wearing clothes from your country? I haven't seen them before, and they look so cute on you."
Fang Chen's face turned a little red when he said that. In fact, his clothes were very ordinary. Because he was a servant, the clothes he wore were also gray, and he also wore a servant's hat crookedly on his head.
Sith didn't lie.
In his eyes, Fang Chen was cute no matter what he looked like, even now, like an angry little sparrow.
"Really, you're prettier than them all."
Sith became more and more demanding. Not only did he not walk out, but he went one step further and squeezed into the small locker room. His tall body made the space seem even more cramped.
Fang Chen subconsciously took a step back, and even found it difficult to breathe. He swallowed his saliva, tilted his head back, and glared at Xisi fiercely, "What are you going to do?"
"Why are you angry?" Sis asked him again, "I came to see you, are you unhappy?"
The man was also a little annoyed. He had learned a little Chinese, but still couldn't understand Fang Chen's emotions very well.
Fang Chen shook his head.
In fact, even he himself didn't know why, he felt that his relationship with Sith was very messy, ambiguous, and full of tension.
But Xisi was reluctant to tell him the truth.
He hated this feeling of being stuck in between.
Sis was silent for two seconds, then suddenly said, "Actually, I'm not happy either."
Eh? ?
Fang Chen looked at him blankly.
"That guy, I remember you were joking with him at the beach." The man whispered, "You were just playing together."
Fang Chen looked at him in shock.
Should I get treatment for my bad eyes?
Aren’t you very rich?!
"It's not a fight, it's a beating." Fang Chen showed his fist, "I was beating him unilaterally."
Xisi said solemnly, "Then why did you only hit him and not others?"
“…”
Fang Chen was speechless, "That's how the script was arranged!"
He pushed Sis hard and said, "I really need to change my clothes. You should get out now."
Unexpectedly, the man not only did not let him push him away, but instead took advantage of the situation and hugged Fang Chen tightly in his arms.
The lamb was suddenly held by the man, "oO?"
The man spoke hoarsely, "Don't be angry, okay? If you're upset because of what happened at the horse ranch yesterday, I apologize."
Enough!
Fang Chen was really fed up with this confusion.
He pushed Cis away forcefully, breaking free from his embrace, his tone a little excited. "Then why do you think I'm angry? Because you hug me casually without ever explaining it clearly. You hug me and hold hands. Is this your etiquette? Then why have I never seen you and Joey do this?"
"Sith! Don't bully me."
When he said the last sentence, Fang Chen's eyes turned a little red, his chest heaved violently, and his anger and grievances could not be suppressed and burst out.
He didn't want to cry, but he couldn't help it. He was born with a tendency to lose control of his tears, and it seemed as if he had brought his soul into this body. Whenever he got excited, he would cry easily.
Seeing Fang Chen's red eyes, Xisi was stunned. His lips moved, and his expression became a little overwhelmed. He paused for a few seconds before speaking hoarsely, "I didn't bully you. How could I bully you? I like you so much that I can't wait."
He was afraid that Fang Chen would cry, as if just seeing his eyes turn red was more painful than any number of punches hitting him.
Sis felt like his heart skipped a beat and he felt uneasy. He let out a breath, his throat a little dry. It was the first time he spoke so clumsily. He didn't have the arrogance and ferocity that he had during the competition, nor was he as cold to others as usual.
When facing Fang Chen, he always couldn't help but lower his head.
"Don't cry, don't cry."
Fang Chen didn't want to cry either. It was so embarrassing. Why did he start crying after just a few words? But the more he wiped away his tears, the more he cried. In the end, he got angry with himself.
"Don't say such nonsense, don't..."
He stopped talking mid-sentence. Fang Chen raised his head and looked at Xisi blankly, "What did you just say?"
The man seemed to be suppressing his emotions, his face tense, and he just kept repeating, "Stop crying."
Fang Chen was anxious. He grabbed the man's clothes and looked up at him. "Previous sentence!"
Sis paused for a moment, "I won't bully you, I just like you."
After saying this, both of them fell silent.
Fang Chen loosened his grip and saw that he had wrinkled the clothes around Xisi's waist.
He turned his head away, sniffed, and said in a muffled voice, "You didn't say that."
Xisi didn't know how things had developed into such a bad situation today. He always liked to keep everything under control, but when it came to Fang Chen, things always got out of control again and again.
He stretched out his hand to wipe Fang Chen's tears, but Xiaoyang slapped his hand away fiercely. The man pursed his lips, suddenly put his arm around the man's waist, picked him up and put him on the platform next to him.
This way, Fang Chen no longer has to look up at him.
Fang Chen was startled by the man's sudden action, and his red eyes immediately glared at him fiercely.
Sis paused before continuing, "I liked you the first time we met. I liked you when you came to watch my game, and I liked you when I took you to the farm. But you said that you Orientals are more reserved and don't like to express your emotions, so I didn't dare to say it."
This seemed to be the first time that Sith said he "dared not" do something, just like an indestructible piece of armor suddenly had a soft spot.
"I want to hug you and be close to you because I like you, not because I want to bully you."
"I respect you."
Fang Chen sat on the stage in a daze, feeling a little dazed by all these words.
Xisi took the opportunity to move closer to him, and was finally able to reach out and help Fang Chen wipe away the teardrop hanging on his eyelashes.
"Fang Chen, what about you?"
The boy's brain finally came back to its senses, "Me what?"
Sith looked at him with a gloomy look in his eyes, "Can we be together?"
Fang Chen sat on the platform and shook his calves, as if he had taken the initiative in an instant.
"You haven't even pursued me yet, why do you want to be together with me?"
The man agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll chase you."
He took advantage of the situation and hugged the boy's waist, bringing him into his arms. "Then next time you're unhappy, can you tell me in advance?"
I don't want him to cry anymore.
Fang Chen kicked him with his calf, "Will I know in advance that I'm going to be unhappy?"
The man pursed his lips and fell silent.
"Okay, let me go. I've been in here for a long time and I really need to change my clothes."
How could Sith let him go? He had finally gotten what was in his heart out. He wished he could hold him like this forever, rub him into his bones and blood, and leave his mark everywhere.
He couldn't help but ask, "Baby, can I kiss you?"
Fang Chen was shocked, "What did you say?!"
Didn't you just start pursuing her? Why are you kissing her now?
Have you activated VIP and speed-run the finale?
Also! How did this guy do it so naturally! He started calling me baby right after confessing his love...
Sith's patience has been stretched to its limit. Fang Chen's mouth opening and closing in front of him is no different from a blatant seduction of him.
He lowered his head, as if coaxing, "Just one kiss, baby, just one."
"Sith! You—"
The rest of the words were swallowed up by the subtle sound of water.
*
There was a prop missing during the rehearsal, so Zhou Lili came backstage to get it.
When she walked in, she remembered that Sith had also come in just now, but she didn't seem to see him.
After finding the item on the shelf next to her, Zhou Lili was about to leave when she suddenly seemed to hear some noise coming from the compartment.
Is anyone else there?
Zhou Lili's heart skipped a beat. There couldn't be any rats here, could it?
She walked in the direction of the sound, and just as she reached the door of the cubicle, she suddenly stopped.
The door of the compartment was ajar, revealing a gap. Through the gap, a tall figure could be clearly seen. It was Sith. He had his back to the door and his head slightly lowered. There should be another person in the place blocked by him, but he was completely covered by Sith's figure. Not even a hair could be seen. Only the ambiguous voices of two people could be heard.
Zhou Lili was stunned with shock.
Sith is kissing someone else...?
She didn't dare to look any further and was about to turn around and slip away quietly, but suddenly, the person who was blocked by Sith seemed to kick Sith with his calf, and the exposed clothes looked a little familiar.
She paused and looked for two more seconds.
The man seemed to want to push Sith away, but as soon as he stretched out his arm, the man pinched his wrist and pushed it back. The sound of lips and tongues blending together continued, mixed with some heavy breathing, which made people blush.
Zhou Lili turned around and left in a hurry.
She knew who that person was.
No wonder Xisi came to watch the rehearsal, it was all an excuse, just to see him...
The author has something to say:
*Small Theater
On Valentine's Day, both of them wanted to give each other a surprise.
Sis dyed his hair black, wore black contact lenses for the first time, and wore a black Mao suit. He looked serious and stern, like the head of a large Chinese family.
But when Fang Chen opened the door and returned home, he was stunned when he saw him.
He specially asked Jieming to make a new look for him today.
Wearing a golden curly wig, beautiful blue contact lenses, and a Gothic-style aristocratic men's suit, he looked like a little prince in a 19th-century castle.
The two people are completely reversed.
Finally, the little prince was held on the knees of the feudal master, his lips were kissed until they were stained red, his blue eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and one of the white stockings on his leg was torn off and hung precariously on his ankle.
He sobbed and called out Sith's name incoherently.
The man smiled slightly and carried him into the bedroom.
"Good boy, no begging for mercy tonight."
