Chapter 606 Human Nature
When Cen Xi heard her words, he seemed to realize what he had done and stopped.
After drinking a cup of tea, he said, "Today's cakes don't seem as sweet as usual. They taste good to me."
Ji Yunshu took a sip suspiciously and said, "It's as sweet as usual."
Qian Qian also took a bite and said, "All the cakes in Sister Ji's house are this sweet."
Cen Xi's expression remained unchanged: "Maybe my taste has changed recently. It's quite delicious."
Ji Yunshu felt even more puzzled: "Didn't you have enough breakfast?"
They had breakfast before leaving the house. It had only been a short while since they started, but Cen Xi had already eaten a plate of snacks. How come it looked like she hadn't had breakfast?
Cen Xi smiled nonchalantly and said, "I'm just killing time when I have nothing to do. My appetite has improved a lot recently. I don't think you'd mind if I eat a few of your snacks, would you?"
Ji Yunshu: "Of course not, as long as you are happy, I even asked the cook to make a lot of snacks, would you like to try some?"
Cen Xi: "Okay."
So they ate and talked along the way and soon arrived at their destination.
Before, their knowledge of this place was limited to what they saw on maps.
Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I realize that this place is really suitable for a horse farm.
At first glance, the vast expanse seems as if the sky and the earth are connected together.
Qian Qian was very satisfied with what she saw, and Ji Yunshu even brought out the Ferghana horse that she had obtained in Mobei before.
Ride a horse around the area.
The horse ran as fast as the wind, and Ji Yunshu felt like he was about to fly.
I felt a sense of freedom and ease that I hadn't felt in a long time.
She really wasn't suitable to be locked up in the backyard.
Zhao Shen looked at her riding her horse at full speed, feeling an indescribable emotion in his heart.
On the one hand, he felt that she should be free like this, but on the other hand, he knew clearly that he could not let her go.
Cen Xi looked at Ji Yunshu riding a horse with some envy. Qian Qian saw this and asked with a smile, "Sister Cen, why don't you go riding a horse?"
Cen Xi said, "I can't ride a horse."
Qian Qian was a little surprised. She knew that Cen Xi was a businessman and often traveled, so she thought she could ride a horse.
She said kindly, "I can teach you. Once you learn how to ride a horse, it will be useful when you go out in the future."
Unexpectedly, Cen Xi shook his head and said, "I learned this before and fell down. Since then, I have been a little afraid of horses."
Since she had said so, Qian Qian couldn't insist, so she changed the subject: "Once this stable is built, we can raise a lot of horses. Then Sister Cen can also do the horse business. I heard that the good horses from Mobei are in high demand in the capital."
Cen Xi looked at the sky in the distance and said in a faint voice: "Indeed, we'll talk about it when the time comes. It will take a long time."
Qian Qian didn't know why her mood suddenly darkened. "You're right, but with Sister Ji here, the stables should be ready soon."
Cen Xi nodded: "Well, she can do anything she wants to do. I'm just afraid..."
Her voice became lower and lower, and could no longer be heard.
Qian Qian felt a little strange, but she keenly realized that the other party didn't seem to want her to hear it, so she tactfully didn't ask any further questions.
Ji Yunshu waited until it was late before riding back.
Zhao Shen has already had the tents set up.
He also hunted game to satisfy his hunger.
Wuning's winter climate is dry and cold. Ji Yunshu's house is too hot, which makes her prone to getting irritated. So she pays close attention to her diet and eats more foods that are not prone to causing irritation.
I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time.
Now seeing the fresh prey, she became interested and carried various seasonings with her.
The prey is cleaned, roasted and sprinkled with seasonings, and it is delicious.
Zhao Shen took care of her habits and even had someone make soup for her.
She was very satisfied with the meal.
On the contrary, Cen Xi was enjoying all kinds of snacks in the carriage.
At this time, facing the fresh barbecue, he lacked interest and didn't eat much.
Ji Yunshu was a little worried about her: "Are you feeling unwell?"
Cen Xi shook his head: "How can I be so delicate? It's just that the meat is too greasy. It doesn't look appetizing. Don't worry, I will find food for myself when I'm hungry. I won't let myself go hungry."
Ji Yunshu didn't ask any more questions. It was a bit cold outside, so Cen Xi returned to his tent early.
Qian Qian lived with her. Seeing that Ji Yunshu seemed a little worried about Cen Xi, she said, "Don't worry, Sister Ji. I will take care of Sister Cen."
Ji Yunshu smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
Qian Qian also returned to the tent.
Ji Yunshu and Zhao Shen continued to stay where they were, warming themselves by the fire.
She couldn't help but ask, "Do you feel that there is something wrong with Cen Xi?"
Zhao Shen glanced at her and said, "There's a good chance we'll run into Lin Huixue this time. She should know that."
"You mean, she treats Lin Huixue..."
Ji Yunshu bit her lip, not knowing how to describe the relationship between the two.
Zhao Shen laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. We're not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? This is human nature, and it doesn't mean that we have to do anything."
Ji Yunshu didn't know what to say for a moment. Cen Xi's birth was not a happy one. Her parents cast a huge shadow on her, making her have no desire for married life.
She hoped that Cen Xi could find her true love, but unexpectedly she met Lin Huixue instead.
The path Lin Huixue was taking really blocked all possibilities between them.
She didn't know if Cen Xi had ever been in a dilemma?
The night wind was very cold. Zhao Shen held Ji Yunshu's hand to keep her warm. "Don't think too much. She is sober enough and knows what she wants. She will be fine."
Ji Yunshu sighed: "Now that things have come to this, I really don't know whether I helped her or hurt her."
"Of course I helped her. If you hadn't helped, she would be dead now. With the Cen family changing hands, she would probably die with regrets. Everything that happens now is her own choice."
Most people are forced to move forward by life, and it is not easy for people to have their own choices.
Even this choice is actually difficult.
Ji Yunshu didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he asked, "When will those people show up?"
As night fell, everything was quiet and Ji Yunshu felt a little uneasy for some reason.
Zhao Shen held her in his arms: "They should have arrived earlier than us, which won't give us much chance to prepare, so it should be tonight."
Ji Yunshu: "Are they sending assassins like before? Do they want us to die here?"
Zhao Shen shook his head. "I must die. You're more useful alive than dead, so they'll probably want to capture you alive. But Lin Huixue knows a bit about your methods, so she's definitely prepared for what to do if she can't catch you alive."
What can I do?
If you can't catch him alive, then dead is fine.
If even Zhao Shen died here, then Ji Yunshu must not be allowed to leave alive.
Ji Yunshu laughed and said, "That's quite a bold idea. I wonder what their trump card is this time."
Zhao Shen said nonchalantly, "You'll know in a moment."
Ji Yunshu nudged him with interest: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I guess."
She knew that Zhao Shen was very capable, and what he guessed was most likely the truth.
