The weather was hot, and Gu Siyan was also in a bad mood, so he spoke a bit bluntly: "What do you want?"
Qi Qi looked up at him and sensed that the male lead wasn't in a good mood today.
Thinking this, Qi Qi quickly covered Ta Xue's ears and deliberately said, "Someone's in a bad mood today, so we need to be careful or we'll get scolded."
Ta Xue seemed to understand, and snorted.
Gu Siyan was taken aback, realizing that this was a reference to him.
"How dare I scold my father-in-law?"
Qi Qi didn't say anything, but squatted down in the corner and patted the spot next to him.
Gu Siyan didn't move, and Qi Qi touched Taxue again: "Taxue, do you usually ignore people?"
Ta Xue: "?"
Gu Siyan had no choice but to squat down beside him: "Eunuch?"
Qi Qi moved closer to him, until they were almost touching, and Gu Siyan subconsciously tensed up.
Qi Qi took out a bag from the small backpack on his back: "This is some snacks I brought for you, they're really delicious."
Seeing that Gu Siyan was about to refuse, Qi Qi quickly stuffed it into his hand and said, "It doesn't cost money. It's a gift I wanted to give you. Brother Siyan, you can't refuse me. If you refuse me, I will be very sad."
Gu Siyan looked down at the ground, then at the horse's hooves, without glancing to the side, his tone somewhat stiff: "Why?"
"What?"
"Why are you feeding me? Are you pitying me? Or what?"
Gu Siyan knew he shouldn't ask this question at this moment, but he wanted to, so he asked.
Qi Qi: Because you're the male lead!
"Why? There is no why. Do I need a reason to be nice to someone or to find someone pleasing to the eye? If we need a reason to make friends, there would be far fewer friends in the world."
Gu Siyan: "That's easy for you to say. Do you expect to be kind to someone who looks nice without expecting anything in return?"
"I won't."
Gu Siyan's cold laugh had barely risen when he heard another sentence: "But with you, I will."
Gu Siyan looked up.
Qi Qi, who was standing next to him, was now standing in front of him, his face slightly annoyed: "You are so ungrateful! I have taken a liking to you and want to be your friend. You have to think about it whether you want to or not. If you don't want to offend me, you'd better tell me now! Are you willing or not!"
"explain!"
The little eunuch puffed out his rosy cheeks, looking very angry.
Gu Siyan was extremely surprised.
Actually, Qi Qi was mostly pretending. No one had ever been like Gu Siyan, going back and forth like this. Every time she thought he would accept being friends with her, he would suddenly say a few cold words. Qi Qi felt very frustrated. This was still when they were all kids. If they were adults, this would be an impossible task!
If Gu Siyan still doesn't agree, Qi Qi will leave him alone for a week... and then continue. If he still doesn't agree, then they'll continue...
I'm sorry! I know I'm annoying, but I won't give up!
Gu Siyan felt a moment of relief, and just as he was about to say something more, he really didn't know what to say.
He truly has nothing now.
The two were staring at each other blankly when suddenly half a person leaned out of the window beside them: "What are you doing?"
It's the Seventh Prince!
Qi Qi was startled: "No, I didn't do anything. I've just greeted the Seventh Prince!"
The Seventh Prince still had beads of sweat from his training on his forehead. His hair was tied back, making his eyebrows appear even sharper and the curve of his eyes even more flamboyant. He propped himself up and jumped onto the windowsill, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Qi Qi and Gu Siyan: "Did this stable boy offend you? I could hear your voice from inside."
"Speaking of which, why do you keep talking to him? What's so special about the horse slave? Don't you mind that he smells terrible?"
The Seventh Prince looked him up and down, then said, "Hey, lift your head, what's your name?"
Gu Siyan tensed his back, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Qi Qi replied naturally, "It's nothing, I just called him over to ask how Ta Xue is doing, and whether the Seventh Prince just practiced his boxing? It's especially hot today, are you hot?"
The Seventh Prince raised his hand and beckoned Qi Qi closer, then pinched his cheek: "Oh ho, you actually know to care about me today. You've improved quite a bit in just one day."
Qi Qi said with a hint of disgust, "...Your hands are all sweaty."
The Seventh Prince got even more excited and started to rub and knead Qi Qi.
Qi Qi covered her face and tried to run away: "No, no, ugh!"
"Hahaha, you delivered yourself right to my doorstep, and you still want to run away?"
With a smug grin, the Seventh Prince carried Qi Qi through the window into the indoor training ground. Qi Qi then broke free and ran back to the Ninth Prince's side.
The seventh prince was displeased: "Running away again?"
...
Gu Siyan: "..."
No one paid him any more attention, so Gu Siyan stood up and took Taxue back with him.
Several stable boys immediately surrounded him, noticing the oil paper package in his hand: "Little Gu, what did the eunuch call you for?"
"You're not bad, kid. You even managed to get this connection! We brothers have offended you a lot in the past, please forgive us, little brother. Let's get along well from now on..."
"Little Gu, I was just joking around with you the other day, don't take it to heart. We've known each other for two or three years now. If there's anything you can't get over, I'll apologize to you when I get home tonight. You can hit me or yell at me if you want..."
"Little Gu..."
Their tone and expression—are they afraid of them?
Realizing this, Gu Siyan was puzzled. There must be some reason behind all this. Could it be Qi Laibao? He was just the Ninth Prince's page. No matter how powerful the Ninth Prince was, he had nothing to do with these slaves at the horse farm, right? Could it be...?
