Chapter 172 Didn't sleep well
After a long string of interjections was sung, the dragon boat race finally began with the emperor's announcement.
Among the people accompanying the spectators, besides the princes and princesses, there were also a group of ministers, but Gu Shuyan searched for a long time in the crowd but could not find Yun Yichen's shadow.
"Sister Shuyan, do you think that's the Ghost-Faced Yama?"
Xu Shan'er pointed to the dragon head on a dragon boat, her face filled with disbelief.
Gu Shuyan followed the gaze and, before she could even marvel at why Yun Yichen had boarded the dragon boat, she heard exclamations coming from all around.
Clearly, they weren't the only ones surprised that Yun Yichen would participate in the competition; everyone else was too.
My gaze was fixed on the man in red. Even on this occasion, he was unwilling to change out of his red clothes.
However, his unique style made him appear even more handsome.
"I never knew the Ghost-Faced Yama was so handsome. How come I never noticed before?"
"Exactly, even though half his face is covered, it can't hide his handsomeness."
Downstairs, women were talking excitedly, and another woman said disdainfully, "Lord Yun has always been handsome; you just haven't noticed."
Watching a group of infatuated girls jumping around and staring intently at Yun Yichen, Gu Shuyan suddenly felt uncomfortable.
This man attracts so many women with only half his face showing. He really should be like Luo Yu and hide his whole face.
No, they should wear a ghost mask, the kind that would scare people at first glance. What's the point of wearing a silver mask? It just makes people have more to think about.
"Sister Shuyan?"
Gu Shuyan unconsciously burst into anger, glaring fiercely at Yun Yichen's indistinct face in the distance.
Xu Shan'er was startled by Gu Shuyan's appearance and couldn't help but call out to her. Gu Shuyan then came to her senses.
"I didn't sleep well last night and my eyes feel a bit uncomfortable."
Concealing the anger in her eyes, Gu Shuyan lowered her head and took a sip of tea to calm her inexplicable emotions.
The competition was in full swing, but Gu Shuyan had lost the interest she had initially had in watching it.
The main reason is that whenever she looks at the lake, her gaze will unconsciously drift to that figure in red, even though she only approached him because he was Rui'er's biological father.
But what's with this emotion now? Gu Shuyan isn't some clueless little girl. She was so angry just now, it's clear she already sees the other person as her possession.
In a daze, the competition gradually drew to a close, and the exclamations from downstairs grew louder and louder as the winner of this year's competition was about to be decided.
Gu Shuyan finally snapped out of her chaotic emotions and, looking at that conspicuous red, inexplicably began to feel nervous.
The first and second place teams were very close, and Yun Yichen's team was the one that was in second place.
Cheers and shouts filled the air, and to Gu Shuyan's surprise, most of the people were cheering for Yun Yichen.
"Yun Yichen, keep it up!"
Gu Shuyan clenched her fists, silently shouting in her heart.
As the finish line drew closer, the two boats were now moving side by side. The team that had been leading started to panic, especially the person directing the drum at the bow, who, in his nervousness, missed a beat.
Meanwhile, Yun Yichen's team grew stronger and stronger, and as they approached the finish line, they actually overtook their opponents and won first place.
Cheers erupted, and the emperor couldn't help but stand up excitedly.
