Did you see it? After leaving the sight of He Jinxing and his parents, before Gou An returned to her room, she saw Zhou Yutong standing at the end of the corridor, waving at her, and then pointed at the phone in her hand with a serious face.
Gou An thought something big had happened and went into the house to charge his phone, only to find that he had been pulled into a newly created group. The group included all the spectators who had witnessed He Jinxing serving as her stable boy today.
The badger jumping up and down in the melon field made restless screams.
【Shy Groundhog: @Go stay, don’t be afraid, I can win, ah ah ah ah ah baby, you did it, mommy loves you QAQ! ! ! ! ! 】
[Jiujiu: What did you do! Did you donate a mine to Mr. He on the ship? Otherwise, why would Mr. He lead your horse?]
【Mickey Mouse: ………………So it was right to dump He Ran. Although He Ran is okay except for his character, but…that’s He Jinxing! No one would trade him for that!】
【Shiliyin: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh (I don’t know what to say, I can only scream, “My baby, how can you be so successful?”)! 】
【Yuan: What’s going on? So I was eliminated hhhhh】
【ZZZ: Love the upstairs for 10 seconds and then ahhhhhhhhhh! 】
[Jiujiu: So what was Mr. He doing this afternoon? ]
[Shy Groundhog: The upstairs person is annoying, of course he is the one who is grabbing the land! ]
【ZZZ: I will love the pretty bodyguard for 10 seconds. I am not sad at all that all the couples I supported failed! 】
Gou An sent a "..." to the group, and these people began to line up to send "Natinight (*99)". Gou An could only tell them helplessly that it was not like that.
[Shy Groundhog: It's like this now, what's the difference? Don't tell me it's fatherly love. ]
She sent a photo to the group, which was secretly taken from the horse's back in front.
From a distance, a little girl dressed in pastoral clothes, like a peasant girl, was riding on the back of a tall black horse, frowning and looking down to her side;
On the side of the horse, the man had one hand in his pocket, his collar slightly open, his tie taken off and wrapped around his wrist, and his other hand holding the reins. His handsome face was calm and dignified, with a faint smile on his lips.
The sun shone from behind the two of them, and the faint light just shone between them, illuminating a strand of hair that had fallen out of the girl's headband on horseback, and the broad shoulder of the man.
[Shy Groundhog: This is not the son of the city lord and the peasant girl @Yuan, the king and the peasant girl. ]
【Yuan: Ah, it’s better than the one I posted on WeChat Moments. 】
Gou An, who was lying on the bed, put down his phone the first second he saw the photo, took two deep breaths before picking it up. He couldn't help but click on it to take a look at the clear original picture, then exited it in one second.
[Don’t be afraid, I can win:……………………? ? ! Be a human being, I’ve deleted it! ! ! ! ]
[Shy Groundhog: What are you deleting? I posted it on WeChat Moments, and tomorrow morning I’ll be able to see the news about He Ran, the young master of the He family, jumping off a building.]
【Yuan: ??? Then there’s a chance I could dance along too.】
[Shy Groundhog: Forget it, Concubine Yuan is very good and she shouldn't end up jumping off a building. ]
[Shy Groundhog: I'd better take it to Uncle Butt tomorrow and ask if he's willing to spend a million to buy it.]
[Shy Groundhog: After all, I can hang it in your living room as a wedding photo hhhhhhhhhhhhhh]
There was a lot of “Hahahahahaha” in the group. Although there was no sound, Gou An felt that his ears were disturbed.
She threw her phone like a bomb, covered her ears and realized something was wrong, so she picked up her phone and left the group.
Three seconds later he was pulled back.
【Jiujiu: Don’t leave, let us finish laughing.】
The hotel's soundproofing wasn't very good, and after a few seconds, someone started laughing out loud, and then from all directions, these people laughed so hard that Gou An could hear it.
[Shy Groundhog: Damn, this manor has poor soundproofing @渊! ]
【ZZZ: Then keep your voice down @Stay safe and don’t be afraid that I can win】
[Jiujiu: It’s okay. Mr. He doesn’t live with us poor people hahahaha, so his soundproofing must be good! ]
[Don’t be afraid of me winning: …………………]
【Don't be afraid, I can win: Goodbye! 】
This time Gou An did not quit the group. She threw away her phone and fled the room directly.
Wait until those people have laughed enough before going back!
Unable to go back to the room, Gou An thought of going to the cafe. The cafe in the manor is staffed 24 hours a day, although those who are willing to go out at this time usually go to the bar for entertainment.
Gou An just wanted to go to a coffee shop to hang out, but he didn't expect to meet an unexpected person there.
There was only one light on in the cafe. The person at the bar was hiding in a corner playing with his phone. The only other person in the corner was a man looking at a computer. He was no longer wearing the uniform that bodyguards usually wore. He was wearing an ordinary sweatshirt and jeans. His face was as fair and tender as a high school student under the fluorescent light.
It was the bodyguard who was chased away by Gou An during the day and had not appeared since dinner.
Gou An knew that Ye Lang was actually very arrogant. He originally thought that he had gone somewhere to sulk about being told in public that he couldn't ride a horse, but he didn't expect him to be hiding here playing on the computer.
The old-style Lenovo looks outdated from a distance. I don’t know what he is looking at so seriously.
He was obviously a very alert person and didn't pay any attention to Gou Anlai.
Instead, the person at the bar noticed Gou An standing outside the cafe first, stood up and asked, "Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"
The noise finally alarmed Ye Lang. He looked up, and the moment he saw Gou An, he was stunned for a moment. Then, a rare trace of embarrassment appeared on that coffin-like face. His jaw was visibly tensed, and he shut down the computer with a "click".
Gou An: “?”
Is this person also watching something unhealthy?
Gou An was a little confused. He waved to the people at the bar and walked to Ye Lang. The latter stood up and asked, "Are you going to sleep?"
As he spoke, he packed up his computer and made a gesture to follow her and leave, "Let's go."
"…Where are you going? I don't need anyone to sing my cradle. I told you not to stand guard at the door when I'm sleeping." Gou An was speechless. "What are you looking at?"
Ye Lang immediately stopped talking, subconsciously hugged the computer in his hand, pursed his lips, and looked at her with his dark eyes.
What is so well-protected? Lu Wan's swimsuit photo? And he said he didn't like her! Gou An got twisted at the critical moment and reached out to grab the computer from Ye Lang. The latter was going to argue with her, but when he looked down and saw that she had grabbed it, her fingertips turned white and then red, he immediately let go of her hand.
The computer fell into Gou An's arms with a "pop". She was stunned for a moment but didn't say anything polite to him. She immediately opened the computer with both hands and took a look: the computer screen was not locked. It lit up and displayed the interface the next second. It was a video teaching the basics of equestrianism.
Gou An: “…”
Ye Lang: “…”
Gou An: "What are you looking at this for?"
Ye Lang couldn't answer this question. Before this, no one told him that a bodyguard should learn to ride a horse. He could know many things, but in the inland, riding a horse was not a necessary learning project for ordinary people.
Ye Lang thought for a moment, "Didn't you ask Gou Yu to buy you a horse?"
Today, when Gou An wanted to ride, he didn't know how, so he couldn't help at all.
Unexpectedly, Gou An just stuffed the computer back to him and said expressionlessly: "No need, don't look at it."
Ye Lang looked at her silently, thought for a moment and said, "Don't you have to learn after buying a horse?"
This means you will need to ride frequently in the future.
How could I not need you? "I'm saying I don't need you - what does it have to do with you whether I want to learn or not?" Gou An said, "If I want to learn, I won't learn from you anyway. If I learn from anyone else, the teacher will protect my safety."
She has a point.
Ye Lang nodded, but it was obvious from his look that he didn't hear anything.
The bodyguard is always a man of few words, and people who are not familiar with him probably have no idea what he is thinking. But apart from the emotional aspect, Gou An is too familiar with this person. To be more sad, he is especially familiar with his stubborn appearance.
She frowned and emphasized again: "I told you not to learn and not to waste your energy. Didn't you hear me? Besides, you might not be there when I learn horse riding!"
She was already very rude in her words.
Ignoring the implication and threat in her last sentence, Ye Lang just nodded woodenly.
Seeing this, Gou An didn't know what was the point in continuing to talk to him like this, so he gave up communicating with him. When he turned around to leave, the person behind him grabbed the hood of his jacket and sweatshirt.
She fell backwards in shock. She turned around and the person behind her seemed to realize what she had done and immediately let go of her hand.
"Who are you going to learn from?"
It is very rare for people to proactively ask questions that are completely unrelated to their work, and both parties will be stunned when asked.
Gou An glared at him and said, "I'll tell you when you resign."
“…Forget it then.”
"?"
"No more questions."
“…”
"Then you will teach me after you learn it?"
"???"
"Is it not possible?"
"No - uh, does the company pay for medical insurance? I'll ask my dad to buy you one. When you have nothing to do, go check your brain. I'm serious."
The next day, Gou An found out that the news that she wanted to learn horse riding had leaked out for some reason. She originally thought that only Ye Lang knew about it, but now she realized that it seemed like everyone in the world knew about it.
"It's not uncommon for people who can ride motorcycles to ride horses, although they seem to be two different things...but Uncle Butt's horse is definitely a tough one. I saw him jump on the horse yesterday and it was very smooth."
Zhou Yutong poked the steamed bun in front of her with a fork. "Besides, riding a horse is quite dangerous at first because it involves the uncontrollable personality and thoughts of the animal. The teacher needs to watch closely, and sometimes it is normal to ride together... How could he agree to let someone else teach An An?"
Gou An: "Why would he disagree... What right does he have to disagree? You've been imagining too much. Are you going to start worrying about the child's name tomorrow?"
Zhou Yutong: "That's not a rush. You're still young. Uncle Jiaobutt doesn't seem to be in a rush about the succession to the throne. After all, there are still a lot of younger generations below, with strong troops and horses."
Gou An: "..." "Speaking of riding, it's better to let professionals do this, right?" He Yuan said, "Uncle is so busy."
"Oh, yeah, Mr. He is so busy."
"I have a coaching qualification certificate." He Yuan looked at Gou An with a smile, "Sister, will you consider me again?"
Gou An patted his arm and said, it’s not that he really couldn’t consider it.
"Boss He is busy. Indeed, I don't know why Jiangcheng feels like it won't function without Boss He." Tang Xinjiu took over the topic. "Also, to be honest, I know he can ride a motorcycle, ride a horse, and play billiards, but I feel that he is not very good. I usually think that people like him should just play golf... or go."
Gou An raised his eyebrows: "He is twenty-eight, not eighty-two, right?"
Tang Xinjiu: "...I actually have a question, how do we organize activities with couples when he and An An are together in the future?"
Zhou Yutong: “…”
Zhou Yutong: "So if we go clubbing with everyone, and someone raises his hand and says 'my dad will come too', what difference does that make?"
Gou An: "??? How did it develop into an activity involving a partner?"
Gou An: "You don't have to worry so much."
Zhou Yutong: "I know, but I can't help but worry. I'm already worried now. When I see that face, I always feel that if I talk to him without studying hard, I will definitely make a fool of myself! If you two are together, I will always talk to him!"
Gou An was completely speechless: "Then you should study hard from now on."
Passerby B: “Yes, I am a little scared.”
Passerby C: "Now that I think about it, being with a mature type of person might make me feel safe, but it might be a bit boring in private... Is there anything we can talk about in common? It seems so hard to have a conversation with each other."
Tang Xinjiu: "Ye Lang should not be much different from him, but if he is a bodyguard, I would not feel that much of a difference."
Passerby A: "What are you talking about? The bodyguard looks as young as a high school student... and he doesn't talk much. It's probably okay if we don't talk when we're together, hahahaha?"
The topic went further and further off the topic, and even though no one said anything disrespectful to He Jinxing, Gou An still felt that something was not right.
——Yesterday He Jinxing came over with a horse. They were both riding horses, so there was really no difference. Even at the beginning he was not riding that slowly, and the others kept a distance from him.
She suddenly thought of the conversation she had with He Jinxing at the casino bar that day. His words "you didn't plan to invite me" came true at this moment.
I don't know why I felt a little uncomfortable again.
She didn't like such reckless assumptions.
I dragged He Jinxing into this by talking to myself. Assuming that he wants to become one of them in the future, it seems a bit difficult to start making things difficult for him...
Under the above assumptions, he is thrown out harshly.
It's like a kind of self-indulgent isolation.
It's embarrassing from any angle.
The discomfort in his heart had reached its peak. Gou An stood up and said to his friends at the table in an unprecedented serious tone, "Stop, what are you fantasizing about?" Because his tone was too serious, everyone stopped discussing and looked over at the same time -
And the second his eyes fell on her, they involuntarily slid behind her.
In an instant, the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful, from the initial confusion and silence to a very determined silence.
Gou An turned around with a slight realization, and saw He Jinxing standing behind them with his usual gentleness and indifference, although his slightly drooping pupils and long eyelashes obscured the true emotion in his eyes.
I don't know when he came, nor how much he heard.
"It's okay, you can continue." He Jinxing smiled and said, "I have an appointment, I'm just passing by."
The sound is very faint.
But he was simply passing by.
Not far away, a few people who were probably in their forties or fifties had already stood up and were looking over here eagerly, probably waiting for the opportunity to have some business conversation with the man during breakfast time.
After saying that, he really turned around and left.
Zhou Yutong stretched out a hand and poked Gou An's waist, then she realized belatedly that something seemed to be wrong.
Gou An: "...You react quite quickly."
"I don't know," Zhou Yutong looked confused, "but seeing his expression made me realize that we seemed to be fantasizing a little too much."
Gou An sighed and asked her what to do with his mouth. Zhou Yutong grabbed a handful of strawberries from the table and stuffed them into her hand: "Go ahead."
Gou An called out to He Jinxing before he sat down in front of the group of people.
He Jinxing turned his head and looked a little surprised that Gou An would catch up with him.
The moment those black eyes stared at him, Gou An's throat became blocked, and he felt that saying anything nonsense would be superfluous at this time, so he could only take a step forward and grab the man's hand.
The latter raised his eyebrows silently, and before he could say anything, a few strawberries were stuffed into his hands. The person in front of him lowered his head and said sincerely, "Sorry."
He Jinxing could see the whirlpool above her head. What was going on with the person with two whirlpools?
He seems to have a quick temper, but brings good luck to his parents.
I have to say, superstition sometimes makes sense? This temper...
It’s really urgent.
He Jinxing lowered his eyes and stared at the top of Gou An's head. He felt a little unconscious and wanted to laugh, so he just daydreamed. After a while, he let out a confused sound from deep in his nose.
"Um?"
"We didn't say that on purpose, and we didn't mean anything weird..." Gou An was afraid that he would return the "apology gift" to him, so he pushed his wrist, "I don't know why we went from wanting to learn horse riding to this outrageous direction."
a long time.
He Jinxing did not refute her or ask what she was talking about, which means that he did hear something and was offended by it.
His silence made Gou An feel ashamed——
The feeling of shame for bullying others swept over me.
"In fact, the account He Ran played before World of Warcraft was shut down was mine. He was the president of the largest guild on our server."
"……ah?"
“Occasionally they would flip through a fashion magazine, but mostly they came with new season samples and brochures.”
“…”
"Ye Lang's skin is just a little whiter than mine."
“…………”
When Gou An was completely confused, He Jinxing patiently asked, "What about you?"
"What?"
"Why are you the one to apologize?"
Gou An raised his finger blankly and pointed at himself. He was still immersed in the trivial matter of World of Warcraft account, which was "somewhat inappropriate here", so he answered with temporary brain stem dysfunction: "Maybe it's because of me that I won't be killed on the spot. After all, those fancy things you said in the newspaper, weren't you talking to me?"
After these three sentences were spoken, the world fell silent.
This silence made Gou An's brain start working again. Ten seconds later, she realized what she had said. Her face turned from white to red and then to blue. She hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I withdraw my previous sentence."
So He Jinxing started laughing.
This time he was really smiling, which was completely different from the aloof and indifferent look he had a few minutes ago with the mask on his face. A smile was in his eyes and his whole body exuded a warm atmosphere.
He cleared his throat, his lips still slightly curved: "Did you see it?"
Gou An stared at his toes in a daze. His soul had already arrived at the gate of Nantian and was meeting Roaring Sky Dog's eyes.
"An An."
“…”
"I have to say, sometimes there are one or two sentences you say that are quite pleasant to the ear."
“…”
There is a reason why everyone is so scared. How about a little self-examination? For example, is this tone really a compliment? "Now everyone can see it."
"Then these little devils are not completely useless. At least they have eyes."
He Jinxing said this, sweeping his hand at her with the back of his hand as usual.
"If you want to learn horse riding, I'll try to teach you when I have time. After all, this is one of the skills that the elderly are proficient in. Although I've never participated in a competition, I shouldn't be much worse than He Yuan. Okay, I've got the strawberries. Go and have your breakfast."
