Chapter 71 Sweet Talk
The girl in the other room was sleeping soundly, her fair and delicate arms exposed outside the thin blanket, her sleeping face sweet and peaceful, her curled eyelashes gently resting on her eyelids.
When Gu Zhaodi woke up, the sun was already setting, and the red and yellow sunset glow shone into the room, giving her a feeling of being in another world.
The first thing I did when I opened my eyes was check my phone, only to find a message from Gu Fang, whom I hadn't contacted in a while.
Gu Fang: I'm on vacation. When are you going home? We can go home together.
Gu Fang: Have you already gone back?
Gu Fang learned from his classmates that Nan'an Middle School had already started its holiday a few days ago, so he began to look forward to his own holiday. He was also afraid that the girl would go home first, so as soon as the holiday started at noon, he sent a WeChat message to ask the girl about her.
Looking at the message Gu Fang sent a few hours ago, the girl sat on the bed in a daze for a moment. Go home?
It seems the girl hasn't thought about this issue during this period.
Living in an environment of love every day, she gradually forgot the painful memories of Gujia Village a few months ago. Whether she was deliberately avoiding those memories or not, she never even had the thought of going home.
Jinshan Villa felt more like a home to the girl; it made her feel at home. Uncle Dan, Aunt Zhang, and the Dan family all made her feel surrounded by their love.
Thinking of this, the girl took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.
Zhao Zhao: I won't go back to that home anymore. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back to Lin'an City with you anymore.
As soon as I clicked send, I saw the words "typing" displayed in the chat box.
In fact, Gu Fang spent almost the entire afternoon staring at the chat box on his phone, afraid of missing any messages from the girl.
Unexpectedly, the girl gave an unexpected answer.
Gu Fang: What happened to you?
Looking at the message Gu Fang sent, the girl didn't know how to explain the cause and effect of the matter, because there was no cause and effect at all; it was just the result of all the grievances and resentment accumulating and exploding together.
Zhao Zhao: Nothing serious, I just don't want to go back.
Gu Fang knew about the girl's family background and circumstances, and seeing her reply, he simply assumed that she didn't want to go back and see her family.
But if the girl doesn't go home, what reason does he have to see her?
They hadn't chatted since they added each other on WeChat during winter break, mainly because the boy didn't have a suitable reason to ask. This time, he had to muster up his courage to ask.
Gu Fang: If you're not going home, how about we meet up? After all, we're old classmates, it would be good to get together.
Gu Zhaodi thought about how Gu Fang had helped her a lot when she was in junior high school, and decided to take advantage of this meeting to treat him to a meal as a way of repaying his kindness in the past.
Zhao Zhao: Okay, then I'll treat you to dinner in a few days.
Gu Fang: How can I let the girl pay? I'll treat her.
Zhao Zhao: Don't worry, I have enough money to treat you to a meal.
The girl knew that Gu Fang was worried that she didn't have money, but she still had enough to treat him to a meal.
Gu Fang was afraid that if he refused any longer, the girl would not meet him, so he had no choice but to agree.
After putting down her phone, the girl went to the bathroom to wash up and wake herself up. Then, someone knocked on the door of her room.
A cool voice came from behind the door, "Little one, are you awake yet?"
The girl rushed to open the door, her face beaming with smiles. "Uncle Dan, I'm awake."
Seeing the girl's unusually happy and relaxed mood, the man was a little curious, "Why are you so happy?"
"Hehe, it's a secret." The girl winked playfully, not telling the man the reason.
Dan Anwen didn't ask any more questions, but instead patted the top of her head and said, "Get ready, we're going to the horse farm."
"Okay." The girl turned around and went back to her room to change into the riding outfit the man had bought for her.
The reason the girl was happy was actually quite simple: she had completely let go of her obsession with that family.
When she was rescued after nearly falling off a cliff that day, upon hearing Gu's mother's words, the string in her heart that once held onto that family may have already snapped.
After that, she never thought of that home filled with painful memories again in the quiet of the night.
"Uncle Dan, let's go." The girl looked up, her eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, fixed on the man.
The pure white trousers and top made the girl look like a clean and pure angel, while the black double-breasted coat and tall leather boots added a touch of heroic spirit to her.
Dan Anwen held two hats in her slender fingers, approached the girl, and carefully placed one of them on her head.
"Little friend, you look good in anything," Dan Anwen said with a smile.
Dan Shu, who had just stepped out of the room, looked horrified. When did her uncle learn such sweet talk to coax girls?
Sure enough, he still had the skill to turn his uncle into an ordinary mortal.
After hearing the man's praise, Gu Zhaodi lowered her head shyly.
She actually wanted to say that Uncle Dan was very handsome. The man's clothes today almost showed off his well-defined muscle lines. The strong muscles at the top of his thighs stretched his pants, clearly showing that he looked slim in clothes but muscular when he took them off. His upright upper body made even an ordinary top look more noble.
Beneath the brim of his hat, his exquisite face held a gentle, indulgent smile, and his vast, ocean-like eyes were filled with the image of the girl.
When they arrived at the horse farm, everyone went to find the horses they were familiar with, while Dan Anwen took the girl to choose a horse.
"Uncle Dan, these horses are so tall!" the girl exclaimed, looking at the horses in front of her that were even taller than her.
“You can still grow a little longer,” the man chuckled.
The girl glared at the man with a cute but fierce look. She wasn't short at all; she just looked petite next to his tall frame.
Seeing the girl's expression, Dan Anwen curled his lips and said, "Let's go. These are all stallions, which you can't handle. I'll take you to find some smaller mares."
As soon as the girl entered the mare's stable, she was immediately drawn to a silver-maned horse in the distance. Its coat was long and pale yellow with a hint of silver-white, and its eyes were bright and piercing, giving it a friendly look.
Dan Anwen followed the girl's gaze and asked, "You've taken a fancy to Yin Bai?"
"Its name is Hidden Cypress? That's a nice name." The girl took two steps forward and got a clear look at Hidden Cypress.
Although it is not as tall and powerful as a stallion, it has firm muscles, smooth lines, and a smooth and textured coat.
Dan Anwen glanced at Yin Bai and said, "She's a temperamental mare, and not everyone has the chance to ride her."
After hearing the man's words, the girl did not back down. "Uncle Dan, I want to give it a try."
"Okay." Dan Anwen raised an eyebrow slightly, not trying to persuade the girl to give up on the idea, which had a very low probability of success.
Following the zookeeper's instructions, Gu Zhaodi first fed Yinbai with hay to build a bond with it.
Yinbai, head bowed, ate the grass from the girl's hand; he seemed quite docile.
"You can try touching Yinbai's body," Dan Anwen guided the girl step by step.
The girl carefully placed her hand on Yinbai's muscular body. The horse visibly stiffened for a moment, glanced at the girl, and then continued to graze.
"Does this mean it doesn't reject me?" The girl's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Dan An glanced at Yin Bai with a faint look in his eyes, then said, "It seems Yin Bai likes you."
After Yinbai finished grazing, Dan'anwen had the girl lead Yinbai by the reins and take it out. When they passed the stallion stable, the man also led out a stallion with a glossy black coat.
"Could this be Yinbai's husband?" The girl wondered, glancing at the two horses behind her acting all intimately as if no one else was around.
“Its name is Yin Feng, and it’s Yin Bai’s older brother,” Dan Anwen said with a light smile.
"Forehead......"
As soon as the two of them walked into the open space of the horse farm, they saw Hang Jinjia standing next to Hang Yan.
"Brother Dan." As soon as Hang Jinjia saw Dan Anwen, she immediately called out to him sweetly.
Dan Anwen frowned and subconsciously stopped in his tracks. "Little friend, let's go over there."
Gu Zhaodi looked at the woman in the white dress in the distance and obediently followed the man toward the training ground next to her.
Seeing this, Hang Jinjia was about to follow when Hang Yan grabbed her wrist.
"Jinjia, how did you find out about this place?" Hang Yan frowned, looking at his younger sister with a serious expression.
Hang Jinjia said in a slightly coquettish tone, "I just found out by accident."
When she spoke, everyone present could clearly sense the guilt in her tone.
Needless to say, she must have found out this through inquiries; she's done this kind of thing many times before.
"Jinjia, Anwen doesn't have those feelings for you." Hang Yan had no choice but to repeat what he had said before.
Hang Jinjia's expression stiffened for a moment, then she resumed her composed smile. "I know, but I won't give up."
Dan Anwen felt that this man was an indelible obsession in her heart, and she would not easily give up her feelings of liking him for more than ten years.
Hang Yan looked at his stubborn younger sister with a headache, and could only think of a way to send her abroad as soon as possible.
Seeing the stalemate, Shen Jiyang said, "Let Jinjia stay here. Anyway, the third brother won't pay any attention to her."
Dan Anwen, who was not far away, didn't even glance at this place, as he was completely focused on teaching the girl to ride a horse.
