Wen Tingyun realized what was happening and wondered why he had such a chilly feeling.
"There's no need for such trouble..."
“No trouble at all, Tingyun, please.” Gu Linchao interrupted him, then took Wen Nongnong’s hand and walked towards the front hall first.
"Your Highness, wait a moment, my rabbit..." Wen Nong Nong suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Gu Linchao glanced at the little rabbit that was still happily munching on grass.
He paused, but instead of letting go of her hand, he bent down and lifted the rabbit up.
The rabbit, happily munching on grass: "..."
"Your Highness, please don't touch its ears!" Wen Nongnong felt extremely sorry for the poor rabbit when she saw him lift it by its ears. The rabbit was struggling and kicking in his hands. She immediately protested.
Gu Linchao glanced at the rabbit kicking its legs in his hand, pursed his lips, and said, "Nongnong, it won't feel any pain."
“Yes, it will hurt. If you pull its ears like that, it will be in a lot of pain. You have to hold it in your arms.” Wen Nongnong said, reaching out to rescue the rabbit from her grasp.
Unexpectedly, whether Gu Linchao didn't hold on tight enough or for some other reason, the rabbit suddenly fell to the ground with a thud and then ran away.
"Xiao Bai!" Wen Nong Nong shouted and was about to chase after it, but Gu Lin Chao grabbed her arm.
She turned to look at him in surprise, her tone urgent, "Your Highness, the rabbit has escaped, I have to go after it."
"Si Yi, go and chase the rabbit back. Don't let it get away," Gu Linchao suddenly ordered in a deep voice.
Si Yi, who was standing to the side, responded and walked slowly in the direction the rabbit had run off in.
Seeing this, Wen Nongnong really lost hope in him. Did this kid want her rabbit to run away? He was so slow; by the time he caught up, the rabbit would be nowhere to be seen.
Just then, Lü Qiao walked over and quickly said, "Lü Qiao, Xiao Bai has run away. Go and chase after him!"
Upon hearing this, Lü Qiao had no choice but to put down what she was holding and hurry off to look for the rabbit.
Wen Tingyun, who had been observing for a long time, blinked and finally realized that something was wrong.
It was Gu Linchao and Nong Nong's hands clasped together.
From the moment we left until now, Gu Linchao has been holding Nong Nong's hand the whole time, without letting go.
He remembered that the two of them hadn't reached this level of intimacy before he set off for Kunhu Mountain.
He never expected that when he returned, the two of them would be so intimate. What happened during that time that he didn't know about?
Gu Linchao's nonchalant attitude was something that would have been hard to believe if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes today. Gu Linchao, who was always aloof and cold, would actually take the initiative to hold a woman's hand.
Wen Tingyun sighed. The things in this world are truly wondrous.
"Second brother, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up!"
Wen Nong Nong turned around and saw that he was walking slowly, so she couldn't help but urge him on.
"Coming," Wen Tingyun replied, quickening his pace. When he reached her side, he suddenly said, "When did you suddenly become interested in small animals? But rabbits you raise yourself do have firmer meat and taste better."
Wen Nongnong: "..."
He thought she was raising the rabbit to eat it?
She blinked, turned her head to look at him, and suddenly asked, "Second Brother, how long has it been since you've eaten meat?"
Wen Tingyun was taken aback, and actually tilted her head to think for a moment, "Two days, I guess." They had been traveling for the past two days, so they had only eaten some dry rations along the way.
"It hasn't been that long, why are you so hungry?" Wen Nongnong said irritably. "I didn't raise that rabbit for food."
Wen Tingyun frowned. "Then why are you keeping it?"
"Of course, it's to ensure the continuation of the family line," Wen Nongnong said seriously.
"Cough cough cough..."
Wen Tingyun choked on his own saliva and stared at her in astonishment. "Are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious. I even built a nest for it. And I've also found it a mate." Wen Nongnong rolled her eyes at him, thinking he was making a big fuss over nothing.
Wen Tingyun: "..."
A smile flashed in Gu Linchao's eyes as he listened to the conversation between the brother and sister.
Meanwhile, Green Beauty, on Wen Nong Nong's orders, went to retrieve the rabbit.
She searched for a long time before finally finding it under a flowering tree.
She rolled up her sleeves, crouched down, and prepared to catch it.
She was all ready to pounce when suddenly a figure slowly emerged from behind the flowering tree.
Startled, Little White jumped a long way away.
Green Beauty froze, her carefully chosen pose rendered useless and even somewhat comical.
A snicker rang out, and she finally realized what was happening. She quickly stood up straight and looked somewhat embarrassed at the black-clad youth standing with his sword in his hand.
There was still no smile on his face; it was as if she had just hallucinated that sneer.
But she was sure she hadn't misheard.
There was no one else there besides the two of them, so she was quite certain that the laughter just now came from Si Yi.
If it were anyone else, she would have already confronted them, but the other party was no pushover.
She felt a little annoyed, but didn't say anything and turned to continue looking for Xiaobai.
As if teasing her, Xiaobai darted away again when it saw her coming.
She had no choice but to hurry and chase after him again.
After a few times, Little White seemed to get tired of running, and it lay down in the middle of the grass to eat grass.
Lü Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, rolled up her sleeves, and carefully walked over, crouching low.
When she got close, she suddenly pounced on the unsuspecting Xiaobai.
But why is the thing I'm holding so hard, not soft at all?
Thinking of Little White's soft, snow-white fur, she blinked and slowly looked down.
She was truly stunned when she realized that what she was hugging was actually a pair of legs.
Where's Xiaobai?
Before she could figure out what was going on, the boy's voice, as cold as ice, came from above her head: "Let go!"
When Lü Qiao came to her senses, her long eyelashes fluttered. Realizing that she was hugging someone's leg, she blushed, hurriedly let go, and took a step back.
"How...how did you end up in my hands? Where's the rabbit?" Afraid he would retaliate, she quickly preemptively struck.
Si Yi glanced at her with suppressed anger, resisting the urge to draw his sword, and said coldly, "I'll let it go this time, but if there's a next time, I'll cut off your hand." With that, he turned and left.
Green Fairy swallowed hard and muttered under her breath, "You're partly to blame. You knew I was catching rabbits, but you didn't even try to avoid me. You just kept running into me. Who can you blame for that?" Besides, it's like nobody wants to hug his leg.
It's hard and stiff, not easy to hold at all.
She shook her arms as if trying to get rid of the marks, her face showing utter disgust.
Si Yi had excellent hearing, and he heard every word she mumbled. He narrowed his eyes, and when he saw her waving her hand, a layer of frost instantly appeared on his handsome face.
You brat!
If it weren't for the princess's sake, he would have definitely taught her a lesson.
