The distance to the outskirts was not far, and half an hour later, the group of people in sedan chairs arrived at the hunting grounds.
Lin Yuxuan, the youngest son of the Lin family, was only eleven years old and naturally did not understand Shen Shi's little thoughts. He was riding a horse slowly and came with the people in the carriage.
Unable to resist asking, "They said they were going to have a horse race, so why is the Fifth Prince running slower and slower?"
Seeing their younger brother so clueless about romance, the older brothers couldn't help but facepalm.
"The horse is in a bad mood and doesn't want to run," Shen Shi said nonchalantly.
Lin Yuxuan could naturally tell that something was wrong with the story and was about to refute it.
"Why is the horse unhappy? Did you comfort it, big brother?" Lin's little daughter, whom he was holding in his arms, asked innocently, looking up at him.
Looking at the adorable human cub, Shen Shi's heart melted, and she replied in the same tone, "Of course you can coax it. Horses are easy to coax."
"Oh." Hearing that the horse had been appeased, the little girl nodded in relief, and then ignored Shen Shi no matter how he tried to coax her.
Sigh, animals really are what kids love most!
As the people in the carriage gradually emerged, Shen Shi couldn't help but sigh, "The Lin family is truly a large and prosperous family."
Prime Minister Lin has more than ten children, enough to rival his emperor father.
There were too many people around, so it wasn't appropriate for Chen Shi to go over and talk to them. He could only silently watch Lin Yu'er.
"This forest was bestowed by the late emperor. I am deeply grateful for his kindness and have always had people carefully tend to it. The Fifth Prince can enjoy himself to the fullest," Prime Minister Lin introduced to Shen Shi.
He didn't forget to express his love and respect for the royal family in his words.
Prime Minister Lin's loyalty to the emperor filled Shen Shi with admiration: "Uncle is a good official who serves the country and the people. Naturally, the Emperor would value him."
Shen Shi showered Prime Minister Lin with compliments, making him laugh heartily.
After a brief chat, the hunt began.
Because the terrain of this forest is flat, with only a small hill about two stories high nearby, and it is close to the capital, it is very popular.
Even the delicate young ladies entered the woods accompanied by guards.
In order to have a chance to meet Lin Yu'er, Shen Shi refused the hunting competition from the Lin brothers.
He exclaimed, "The Lin brothers really love competition!"
Once inside the woods, Shen Shi and Lin Yu'er walked side by side, their hearts tacitly understanding each other.
Looking at the various plants in the woods, Shen Shi couldn't help but remind her, "Sister Lin, be careful not to get scratched by the branches."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he was scratched on the neck by a nearby bush.
"Hiss~" The dull pain from the cut made Shen Shi groan softly.
"Are you alright?" Seeing the beads of blood seeping from Shen Shi's neck, Lin Yu'er hurriedly instructed the guard beside her, "Quickly go and get the ointment from the carriage."
Upon hearing the young lady's order, the guards hurried off.
"This is just a minor injury, there's no need for ointment." Shen Shi, wanting to be alone with her beloved, deliberately waited until the guard was far away before speaking.
Seeing Shen Shi's nonchalant attitude, Lin Yu'er immediately retorted, "How can that be? Even a small wound will leave a scar if you don't treat it!"
That's true. Once a scar appears, it won't look good. If it doesn't look good, Lin Daiyu might not like it anymore.
Shen Shi immediately realized the importance of the ointment and obediently waited with Lin Yu'er for the guards to bring the medicine.
However, seeing that no one was around, Shen Shi's heart began to itch, and he couldn't help but touch Lin Yu'er's small hand.
Then, seeing that she only blushed and showed no sign of rejection, Chen Shi immediately took advantage of the situation, took Lin Yu'er's small hand, and intertwined their fingers.
This outrageous act terrified Lin Yu'er: "Someone will see us!" She struggled to pull away.
"Just for a bit." Shen Shi knew it wouldn't be good if someone saw, but with her soft hand in his, he still shamelessly said, "Just ten seconds."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yu'er, fearing he might renege on the deal, started the timer: "Nineteen or eighteen..."
How can there be such a lovely person!
Shen Shi held her little hand and listened to Lin Yu'er's soft countdown. When he counted to one, he reluctantly let go of her little hand.
"Lin Daiyu is so cute!" Shen Shi couldn't help but blurt out what was on his mind.
Lin Yu'er was caught off guard by his bluntness and shyly covered her face with her handkerchief.
"Don't cover it up, I don't want to see." Shen Shi said quickly, afraid that this silly girl would suffocate him.
Hearing him say that, Lin Yu'er also felt that her behavior was a bit foolish, so she put down the handkerchief.
"I'm not saying you can't see it." She was just a little shy.
Lin Yu'er's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, but Shen Shi still managed to pick it up.
"Lin Daiyu is so beautiful, even if I'm not allowed to look, I'll still sneak a peek." Shen Shi winked mischievously at Lin Yu'er.
Shen Shi was already exceptionally beautiful, and when she looked at people with her eyes full of affection, Lin Yu'er felt like she was being drawn in.
The two stared at each other, needing no further action, and the air grew increasingly tense.
Shen Shi couldn't help but look at Lin Yu'er's beautiful, flower-like lips.
Just then, a scream of "Ah!!" rang out, shattering the ambiguous atmosphere.
At this crucial moment, who's so blind as to cause trouble?
Chen Shi stood up, preparing to find out where the sound was coming from.
A panicked figure rushed in this direction, followed by a wild boar.
Good heavens! There are wild boars in this place.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Shen Shi immediately shoved Lin Yu'er under a big tree.
Then he drew an arrow from the quiver behind him and nocked it into his bow.
