As soon as she looked up, she saw something dark fall down and land directly on top of her head.
She was startled, feeling that what she had just seen was actually some kind of furry insect.
Her biggest fear is caterpillars.
Thinking of this, the hairs on her body stood on end. She stood there stiffly and screamed, "Second brother, second brother, come quick! There's a caterpillar on my head..."
"Pfft!" A sudden laugh came from the tree.
Wen Nongnong was startled and looked up to see a boy jumping down from the tree and then reaching out to pluck the insect off her head.
"Caterpillars are so cute, how can you be afraid of them?" The boy looked at Wen Nongnong with amusement.
Wen Nongnong looked at the insect he was holding between his fingers, her hair standing on end. "It would be strange if you weren't afraid of it."
The boy glanced at her, then suddenly held the caterpillar up to her face. "Little Black is very well-behaved; it doesn't bite."
Wen Nongnong stared stiffly at the caterpillar so close to her, watching it wriggle between the boy's fingers, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
"Second brother..."
She screamed.
Wen Tingyun rushed over and, upon seeing this scene, his face darkened. He grabbed the boy's wrist and demanded, "What are you doing, bullying my sister?"
The boy twisted his wrist, breaking free from his grip, and raised an eyebrow. "When did I bully her?"
"You've scared my sister like this, and you still say you didn't bully her?" Wen Tingyun's brows furrowed with anger as she saw the culprit in his hand and was about to crush the caterpillar in his hand.
The boy saw through his intentions, quickly took a few steps back to avoid his attack, and then said with a half-smile, "You guys are really being unreasonable." As he spoke, he looked down at the caterpillar in his hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Little Black, we'll go home now." With that, he made a face at the two of them and ran away.
Wen Tingyun got goosebumps and shuddered. "What kind of weird quirk is this person? He was talking to a caterpillar like that. It was really scary."
Wen Nongnong looked terrible, feeling itchy all over her body.
"Second brother, good luck to you. I need to go back and take a shower first."
Wen Tingyun looked at her with concern, "Are you alright?"
"It's alright, I'll just take a shower when I get back." Wen Nongnong didn't want him to worry and affect the competition, so she forced herself to stay alert and said, "I'll go tell the Prince and then I'll go back."
"Okay, then you'll be fine going there by yourself, right?" Wen Tingyun asked.
"Of course, no problem. Second brother, I'll head over now." Wen Nongnong said to him, then lifted her skirt and walked quickly toward the training ground.
At this moment, Gu Linchao was already sitting on the high platform.
Wen Nongnong wanted to go back to take a bath as soon as possible, so she waved to Wang Houde.
Wang Houde, who was standing behind Gu Linchao, saw this and was about to get down when Gu Linchao suddenly stood up and walked down from the platform.
The moment he moved, everyone's eyes followed him.
Then everyone saw that the Regent, who was usually unpredictable and detached from worldly desires, actually stepped down from the platform and walked towards Wen Nongnong.
"What's wrong?" Gu Linchao stood in front of Wen Nongnong, noticing her pale face and the loss of her earlier spirit. He frowned with concern. "Did something happen just now?"
Wen Nong Nong rubbed her arms and shook her head, "It's nothing, I just want to go back first..."
"What exactly happened? Tell me!" Gu Linchao was displeased to see that she clearly had something on her mind but was still trying to hide it from him, and his tone became a bit harsher.
Wen Nongnong was startled, a strange sense of grievance creeping into her heart. She bit her lip, lowered her head, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, I was just startled by a caterpillar behind there. Now I feel very itchy and want to go back to take a bath..."
Gu Linchao was taken aback. "A caterpillar?"
"Mmm." Wen Nongnong nodded, knowing he must find it incredible, but she was just terrified of caterpillars.
She used to avoid caterpillars whenever she saw them, let alone the caterpillar that had just landed on her head, and then the person brought the caterpillar close to her face.
She feels completely unwell right now.
Gu Linchao did find it unbelievable, but when he saw that she was really scared and her face turned pale, he thought that she had been raised in seclusion since childhood and was well protected by her family, so it was inevitable that she was a little spoiled, and he could understand.
"Then I will have Wang Houde escort you back," he said gently.
