Chapter 4 As long as she likes

Pei Jian also has Zhang Ji's outstanding appearance.

Nianxi was always nervous and shy when she was with him before.

She didn't dare to raise her head, fearing that her smile would be inappropriate; she didn't dare to speak, fearing that she was not well-educated. Even before taking a sip of tea in front of him, she had to think twice, fearing that her behavior was not elegant enough.

She was always afraid that he would see her bad side and worried that he would dislike her.

My brother said Pei Jian liked to drink. She was always spoiled, but she would bury herself in the kitchen in the hot summer just to make a variety of soups with different tastes and give them to him.

She would savor every word Pei Jian said.

Think about it carefully and then change it into the way he likes.

Chasing someone is really tiring.

The fifteen-year-old Nian Xi would grit her teeth and persevere, and the twenty-eight-year-old Nian Xi would never let herself be wronged again.

"This kite is probably broken." Nian Xi looked relaxed and answered as a matter of course.

If the kite can't be flown, it must be a problem with the kite.

Gu Ci was amused by this remark.

He saw that the girl's fair face still had a blush from running, her chin was small and pointed, her eyes were charming and bright, and her smile was as gentle as the rippling spring water.

Very lovable.

Gu Ci looked away awkwardly, "The kite is too big. We need a running horse to pull it up."

"I can't ride a horse, can you help me?"

She tilted her head slightly to look at him, her voice soft and her almond-shaped eyes innocent.

Who could refuse such a request?

At least not by refusal.

He noticed Nianxi the moment she got off the carriage.

There is no way not to notice her, as she seems to have monopolized the spring of Qushui, and she is the only bright spot in this beautiful world.

So Gu Ci rode his horse himself and flew the kite as high and far as possible for Nianxi.

Wang Muyi looked at the kite in the sky, incredulous, "How did you do that? General Gu, who is so arrogant, actually flew a paper kite for you himself."

The midday sun was a little too bright. Nian Xi pulled her cousin under the tree and said without turning her head, "I don't know how to ride a horse."

“…Is this about riding a horse?”

"Why not?" Nian Xi turned her head, her bright face full of smiles, "We can't let it go ourselves."

"Didn't you see that the lady's eyes were almost popping out?"

Nianxi was amused by her cousin's words and actually laughed out loud. The clear blue sky illuminated her delicate features, making them bright and shining.

"It doesn't matter." She said softly.

When I was young, due to modesty and face, I dared to show only a little bit of joy, and I often said one thing and meant another, and was roundabout and inconsistent.

Now she is mature enough to express her likes and dislikes, and she doesn't care about other people's opinions.

Gu Ci was of high spirits and of a clean disposition, and it made Nianxi feel happy to be with him.

That's enough.

Living her life over again, she just wanted to please herself.

"I just want to be happy."

Wang Muyi opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Turning my head, I saw the bright and lively eyebrows and eyes of my cousin, like a burning flame, with infinite vitality, and her eyes seemed to contain desolate, indifferent and lonely feeling.

So gorgeous and desolate.

She suddenly felt that it was a perfectly normal thing for Gu Ci to be fascinated by Nian Xi.

Just as I was daydreaming, Nian Xi came forward, took the kite string that Gu Ci handed over, looked up and whispered thank you.

Gu Ci blushed and his palms were sweaty due to the girl's straightforward compliment.

Watching Nian Xi carefully holding the kite string, he pretended to be casual and said, "Riding a horse is not difficult. Pick a docile horse, and most importantly, find a reliable master to teach you."

Nian Xi responded, "Really?"

Gu said casually, "I have been practicing archery since I was five years old, and I am quite good at riding a horse."

Nian Xi handed the string to Xing Yue who was standing beside her, then turned around and stared at him.

Gu Ci's throat tightened when he was looked at, and he felt embarrassed as if his thoughts had been exposed on the spot.

Just as he was about to say something, Nian Xi suddenly came closer and raised her hand to brush the fallen petals off his shoulder.

Gu Ci had not yet put on a crown, and his long hair was tied up high behind his head. He was very tall, and when he half-bowed to talk to her, the ends of his hair hung down.

The spring breeze blew, and it lightly fell on Nianxi's chest.

Only then did he realize how close the two were.

The breath is filled with the sweet scent of a young girl.

Gu Ci couldn't tell what the scent was, he just felt it made his heart beat faster and faster.

"It's Luohua." Nian Xi quickly stepped back and asked him with a smile, "I would like to learn how to ride a horse, but I don't know if it's difficult?"

Even though Gu Ci had never shown his courtesy to any girl before, it was like a man's instinct, and it had reacted before his brain:

"It's not difficult. I'll teach you."

Nian Xi smiled and agreed, then pointed at Wang Muyi under the tree and said, "You were so focused on talking to you that you left your cousin aside."

"I'm leaving now. Thank you for helping me release the oriole today."

She was not pretending to be reserved, and walked away in a straightforward and carefree manner. Without waiting for him to say anything, she walked away with the hazy spring air.

Gu Ci has never felt this way before.

My heart seemed to be clenched.

When he was with her, he couldn't even think, he was only concerned by her every frown and smile. He was obviously not a shy person, he made many friends, including many noble ladies from his old friends' families. But no one was as irresistible to him as Nianxi.

Looking at the slender figure in front of him, Gu Ci couldn't help but raise his voice, attracting a lot of attention:

"Next time we have a day off, I'll teach you how to ride a horse."

"Okay~"
