Chapter 47 Whose are you? [12]
Before Achu could even speak, the little pony beneath her had already started walking on its own.
It took the initiative to approach Si Jinye's black steed, and even used its curly hair to touch him.
The black steed was aloof; it raised its head but did not move away.
Achu was stunned for a moment.
Even the horse is helping her?
Achu looked anxious and tried to pull the little dwarf away.
"Juanjuan...don't get so close..."
Seeing this arrogant little pony approaching, Si Jinye was initially a bit impatient.
Just as he was about to scold them, he was surprised to find that his headache and tinnitus had lessened considerably, just like last time at Yiyuan!
Si Jinye turned his head and looked at A Chu, who was still pulling on the reins of the miniature horse, looking somewhat anxious and embarrassed.
What a coincidence! He ran into her again when his headache and tinnitus were getting better.
However, no matter how smart Si Jinye was, he couldn't immediately connect the dots and realize that the thing that had relieved his headache and tinnitus was actually a person.
The headaches and tinnitus that had plagued him for years have subsided, and he is now in a better mood.
Si Jinye decided not to argue with the woman and the pony.
He gently tugged the reins, and the black horse strode off to the side.
After the distance increased, Si Jinye's headache and tinnitus returned to their original state.
His brows, which had relaxed slightly, furrowed again, indicating that he was in a bad mood.
Just then, the little pony came over again, insisting on getting close to the black horse.
"Juanjuan, stop!"
Achu looked at Si Jinye: "I'm sorry, young master... this is my first time riding a horse..."
Si Jinye turned his head and looked down at A Chu, who was much shorter than him.
She looked so frail, the kind of person he could crush with a single finger.
But as she got closer, his headache and tinnitus subsided.
That's right, Si Jinye sensed it!
But he's not sure yet.
So Si Jinye rode his horse a little further away until his headache and tinnitus returned to normal before he stopped.
The little pony came bouncing over again, wanting to nuzzle against his horse.
At the same time, Si Jinye once again felt the headache and tinnitus lessen.
He looked at Achu, his gloomy eyes filled with suspicion and inquiry.
Ah Chu seemed oblivious, still struggling with the miniature horse.
"Juanjuan...don't do this..."
Si Jinye spoke up, asking A Chu, "Whose family are you?"
Achu didn't know why Si Jinye would ask that, but she still answered, "My father is the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness."
"Today I went with my sister to the Fifth Prince's estate for horseback riding, but we accidentally got lost in the woods."
"Could you please show me the way, sir?"
The daughter of the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness?
Si Jinye looked at A Chu, his deep eyes making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
“Let’s go, I… I’ll take you out of the forest.”
A Chu seemed surprised that Si Jinye would be so kind, and a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
Si Jinye scoffed lightly: "You were the one who asked me for directions, and I kindly offered to take you out. Are you afraid of me now?"
"Then you can stay here by yourself."
With that, Si Jinye actually rode away on his horse.
He walked slowly, as if taking a leisurely stroll.
After hesitating for a moment, Achu finally rode off to catch up.
Si Jinye glanced back at her, said nothing, and continued walking forward.
Ah Chu followed him quietly, only whispering a few words of advice when the little pony tried to get close to the black horse.
Of course, the little pony wouldn't listen and insisted on sticking close to the black horse.
This made Ah Chu's face turn red and white, feeling very embarrassed and ashamed.
After walking for about 15 minutes, Achu faintly heard someone calling "Miss Shen Liu".
Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed with delight, "Someone's come looking for me!"
Si Jinye reined in his horse and turned to look at A Chu.
"Then you can wait here."
After saying that, Si Jinye turned around and rode his horse back into the woods.
Watching him run off into the distance, Achu called out her thanks: "Young master! Thank you for bringing me out!"
Her response was her hair dancing in the sunlight.
Achu stopped the little pony that was trying to chase after them, patted it gently, and said with a smile, "Have you fallen in love with them at first sight?"
"But you are too different!"
"Let's go, let's get out of here quickly."
The little pony was a bit reluctant, but it obediently turned around.
Achu rode his horse toward the source of the sound.
As the sound grew closer, she saw the person who had come looking for her.
It turned out to be Si Jinxuan.
Achu was surprised for a moment before waving her hand in that direction: "Fifth Prince, I'm here!"
Si Jinxuan also saw A Chu and rode over on horseback.
"How did you end up in the woods?" he asked coldly, his tone quite stern.
Ah Chu's initial joy at someone coming to see her faded, and her face turned slightly pale.
She lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, Fifth Prince, I... I'm not very good at riding horses. Juanjuan brought me in, and I don't know how to get out..."
Seeing A Chu like this, Si Jinxuan realized that he might have been too harsh and scared her.
He looked down and saw that Achu's right hand, which was holding the reins, seemed to be injured.
Si Jinxuan: "You fell off your horse?"
Achu instinctively hid his injured hand behind his back, but then felt that this action was somewhat unnecessary.
She nodded: "Juanjuan was startled, and I accidentally fell."
Si Jinxuan rode closer and reached out his hand to A Chu.
Achu looked at him blankly.
Si Jinxuan: "Give me the reins."
Achu paused for a moment before handing the reins to Si Jinxuan.
Si Jinxuan pulled on her reins and led the horse away.
"When Ya'er and I came back, we heard that you were missing. Ya'er was very worried about you."
Suddenly, Shen Jingya threw a tantrum and ran away, so Si Jinxuan chased after her out of concern.
When he caught up with her and asked, he found out that Shen Jingya was jealous of how much he took care of A Chu.
Si Jinxuan could only gently explain that he was merely fulfilling his duty as a host, and also because A Chu was Shen Jingya's younger sister.
He had absolutely no other intentions towards Achu.
He finally managed to coax Shen Jingya into calm.
The two went on a date alone for a while, and when they returned, they heard that A-Chu was missing.
Fearing something might happen to her, Si Jinxuan not only arranged for his men to search but also went out to search himself.
Upon hearing Si Jinxuan's words, Achu felt deeply remorseful and guilty: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have run off like that. I've caused trouble for the Fifth Prince and Fifth Sister."
Si Jinxuan didn't comfort her, but only said, "Next time you go somewhere, you need to bring someone with you."
Fortunately, the surrounding area consisted mostly of estates owned by royalty and nobility, so there was basically no danger.
But wild animals roam the forest. What if something happens to him? How will he explain it to Marquis Zhongyi?
Achu nodded and said nothing more.
Si Jinxuan was a man of few words, and A Chu was unlikely to take the initiative to talk to him.
The two walked for a while longer and then emerged from the woods.
The sunlight streamed down, and it was a little dazzling.
Achu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then saw Shen Jingya riding a horse over from not far away.
Shen Jingya's gaze fell on the reins that Si Jinxuan was holding for A Chu, and her expression was very unpleasant.
What she saw was a woman who was delicate and beautiful, and a man who was aloof and handsome.
When A Chu looked up at Si Jinxuan, her eyes were filled with admiration.
When Si Jinxuan looked down at her, his eyes were filled with tenderness and affection.
Of course, this was just Shen Jingya's imagination.
But she felt that if A Chu and Si Jinxuan were to have more contact, it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't become a reality!
Shen Jingya now deeply regrets bringing A Chu along!
