The next morning, sunlight streamed through the window and fell on the two people who were tightly embracing in bed.
Huo Jinning slowly opened her eyes, only to find that the bed was unusually hard today, making her body ache all over, so she subconsciously reached out and pressed it.
This action also woke up Fu Qinian, who was standing next to him.
The two locked eyes, and for a moment they both forgot how to react.
"Ah, you...I..." Huo Jinning was the first to come to her senses, but her tongue seemed to be tied in knots, and she stammered as she spoke.
"Um, I...you..." Fu Qinian tried to explain to Huo Jinning, but he didn't know where to begin.
Huo Jinning composed herself and noticed that Fu Qinian's clothes were intact. She thought to herself that she should not have lost her composure too much last night. Thank goodness. If Fu Qinian had slept with her, how would she have been able to face him in the future?
The important thing is that they still have their favorite "green plums" (children).
But why am I wearing Fu Qinian's clothes?
She has no recollection of this incident.
It's all because of drinking.
She originally thought it was just a slightly alcoholic beverage, but she never expected to get drunk from it.
"Nothing special happened last night, it's just that... you kept talking to me, and then... we... fell asleep."
Fu Qinian tried to explain, but he wasn't sure if Huo Jinning remembered what happened last night, so saying that wouldn't be considered lying.
"I'll go out first, you wash up. After breakfast, I'll take you horseback riding."
Fu Qinian looked at Huo Jinning, whose face was full of embarrassment and regret, and tried to change the subject.
"Okay, sure," Huo Jinning replied listlessly.
After Fu Qinian left, Huo Jinning began to try to recall what had happened the night before.
She vaguely remembered that she seemed to have kissed Fu Qinian and wouldn't let him leave.
The clothes she was wearing must have been changed by Fu Qinian, but the problem was that she wasn't even wearing underwear!
Huo Jinning lingered in her room, reluctant to leave. It was too embarrassing, and... too awkward!
"Ningning, are you done yet?" Fu Qinian's magnetic yet gentle voice rang out from outside.
"Okay, okay," Huo Jinning replied quickly and hurried out the door.
She was wearing a bright red dress, which Fu Qinian had carefully prepared long ago.
Before bringing Huo Jinning here, he had carefully prepared a complete set of clean clothes, skincare products, and cosmetics.
What happened at the hospital the day before yesterday was purely accidental; he had not anticipated such a situation.
Moreover, Fu Qinian's decision to have Huo Jinning wear his own clothes yesterday was not intentional; he simply forgot and had prepared clothes for her.
When Fu Qinian saw Huo Jinning in front of him, wearing a red dress and with her cheeks slightly flushed, he couldn't help but be slightly lost in thought.
At this moment, Huo Jinning appeared even more radiant and beautiful, as if she was born to be perfectly suited to the color red.
For breakfast, Fu Qinian only specifically instructed people to prepare simple millet porridge and some pickled vegetables for them.
Huo Jinning got drunk yesterday, and millet porridge is good for the stomach; at the same time, considering that she ate a lot of mutton yesterday, it would be easier to digest a lighter food today.
Throughout the meal, Huo Jinning remained quiet, seemingly a completely different person from her usual sunny, cheerful, and lively self.
She seemed completely absorbed in her own thoughts, her eyes darting away, unable to look Fu Qinian in the eye.
Fu Qinian sat opposite her, silently observing the changes in her expression, and couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
He thought to himself, "If I had stayed awake last night, none of this would have happened."
"Ningning, change your clothes later, and we'll go horseback riding together," Fu Qin said softly after breakfast.
"Okay, sure." Huo Jinning snapped out of her reverie and nodded with a smile.
In no time, Huo Jinning changed into a black and white riding outfit.
She had her long hair piled up high, making her look dashing and radiant.
Once mounted on her horse, Huo Jinning seemed to have forgotten all the troubles that had happened that morning.
She called out to Fu Qinian in high spirits, "Qi, let's have a race and see who can run faster."
“Okay,” Fu Qinian replied.
Seeing Huo Jinning regain her former vitality and happiness, the weight that had been hanging over him finally lifted.
The two walked side by side, their figures gradually disappearing into the distance on the green grassland.
The horses moved with steady steps, their hooves echoing across the grassland.
The two men moved with agility and in perfect harmony with the horse, as if they were one with nature.
In the distance, the blue sky meets the grassland, creating a magnificent scene.
The wildflowers on the grassland are like twinkling stars, emitting a fragrant aroma that is refreshing and delightful.
"I never expected Ningning's riding skills to be so superb!" Fu Qinian couldn't help but praise.
They had just finished a lap and were now leisurely strolling on their horses.
Upon hearing this, Huo Jinning's face revealed a hint of smugness. She chuckled and replied, "Of course, I've practiced diligently! Back in the day on set..."
However, halfway through her sentence, she suddenly realized she had almost let something slip and quickly stopped talking.
Fu Qinian keenly noticed her pause, but pretended not to hear and asked casually, "How was it at home?"
At the same time, he was also subtly smoothing things over for Huo Jinning, giving her a chance to explain.
Huo Jinning glanced at him and quickly followed up, saying, "That's right. I used to ride horses a lot when I was at my adoptive parents' house, and I got the hang of it over time."
She secretly rejoiced that she had reacted quickly enough and successfully covered up the incident.
Fu Qinian nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then praised, "Ningning really has talent."
Huo Jinning was a little embarrassed by the praise. She scratched her head and said with a smile, "Hehe, actually you're pretty good too. If you work a little harder, you might be able to catch up with me. How about we have another race?"
"Okay, let's do one more lap. I'll definitely overtake you this time."
In fact, given Fu Qinian's professional level, his horsemanship is definitely no less than Huo Jinning's, and he is even capable of participating in formal competitions.
But he chose to yield, not revealing his strength, just so that Huo Jinning could have fun.
In the following laps, the two raced at full speed, enjoying the exhilarating feeling of speed.
Finally, after running three or four laps, Huo Jinning was too exhausted to continue.
"No, I'm too tired, I need to rest." Huo Jinning dismounted, took off her riding hat, and was drenched in sweat, her cheeks flushed, and she looked energetic.
