After a thrilling competition, Xiahenazi lost all interest in sightseeing and took Guan Wenru back first.
He Yanzhi and his group entered the mountains from this place.
Not long after entering the mountains, He Yanzhi slowed down by pulling on the reins with one hand.
Gu Siyu was already at the back, and seeing that he was some distance away from the others, she quickly spurred her horse to get closer.
She was trying to find a topic to talk about with He Yanzhi when his cold voice rang out first, "You really didn't do it on purpose?"
"!" Gu Siyu's heart sank, a flicker of panic crossing her eyes. "Of course I didn't mean it. What do you mean by that? You suspect I did it on purpose?"
He Yanzhi turned his head, his dark pupils filled with frost that never melts.
Meeting his gaze, Gu Siyu tensed up and said urgently, "How could I have done it on purpose? If I had done it on purpose, why would I have risked my life to save her? Look at my face, it's all scratched up."
He Yanzhi didn't speak. He lightly tapped the riding whip with his fingertips, and the metal buckle made a heart-stopping crisp sound.
After a moment, he finally spoke, "How many years have you been in charge of this horse?"
"Three...three years."
Gu Siyu suddenly gripped the reins tightly, her slender white fingers leaving red marks on the leather reins.
She didn't know if He Yanzhi had really figured something out, but she had to deny it.
When she looked up again, her almond-shaped eyes were already glistening with tears, and her trembling eyelashes cast broken shadows beneath them. "Commander He, is that how you see me? I have no grudge against Wenru, so why would I deliberately harm her?"
Her voice contained a perfectly timed sob.
He Yanzhi remained unmoved. "It's best if it wasn't intentional, Comrade Gu. Please always remember your identity; you are a soldier."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rode his horse away to another place, seemingly unwilling to listen to Gu Siyu's explanation.
He wasn't familiar with Gu Siyu and didn't know her character.
But he trusted his own judgment.
Gu Siyu deals with this horse every day, and he doesn't believe she would be so careless as to easily touch the horse's old wounds.
And it was quite a coincidence that the horse went berserk just when Guan Wenru was overtaking Gu Siyu.
He suspected that Gu Siyu was a sore loser.
Having a competitive spirit isn't a bad thing, but resorting to any means to harm others in order to win is a crime.
Watching He Yanzhi's departing figure, Gu Siyu's pitiful expression suddenly froze. She gritted her teeth in anger and slammed her hand on the tree trunk!
He Yanzhi actually gave her the cold shoulder because of that capitalist's daughter!
...
Not only He Yanzhi, but Xia Henazi also suspected that Gu Siyu did it on purpose.
She couldn't understand why Gu Siyu would deliberately target Guan Wenru, even after thinking about it the whole way.
Is it just because Guan Wenru is what everyone calls a capitalist's daughter?
But as a soldier, Gu Siyu should be even more aware of the Guan family's contributions.
Using this reason to make things difficult for Guan Wenru is truly inappropriate.
After returning the two horses to the cavalry regiment, Xiahenazi thought for a moment and then asked Guan Wenru, "Wenru, did you know Gu Siyu before?"
Guan Wenru shrugged. "I don't know him. This is the first time we've met. Why do you ask that, sister-in-law?"
"It's nothing." Xiahenazi hesitated for a moment, but still reminded her, "Don't compete with Gu Siyu in the future."
Guan Wenru smiled and said, "Alright, this incident today gave me quite a fright. From now on, I will not only stop competing with her, but I also won't dare to compete with anyone else. If something goes wrong, the cavalry regiment probably won't be willing to lend us horses anymore."
The two chatted idly for a while, and when they were almost at the family compound, Guan Wenru asked, "By the way, sister-in-law, are my husband Yanzhi and Comrade Gu... very familiar?"
She had just heard Gu Siyu call He Yanzhi "Yanzhi".
This way of addressing someone is... way too intimate.
In her previous life, she was Han Haoxian's wife. When she first came to the compound, she had no interaction with He Yanzhi.
She didn't pay attention to Gu Siyu at that time either.
So I really don't know the relationship between He Yanzhi and Gu Siyu.
