Chapter 20th Little Days

The meal was very happy, and the four people talked and laughed, but when Yan Yingchen looked at Che, his eyes were always strange.

After dinner, we sat in the backyard drinking tea and chatting. The gentleman told us about the places he has been to over the years and what he has seen and heard in those places. Hearing this makes my heart itch, and I can't wait to leave Liangcheng now and go to the outside world to feel the joy of life.

In modern times, one of my hobbies was traveling, but many times my travel plans were delayed because of this and that. Although I'm idle now, I can't escape immediately. Even if you want to go out to have a look, you should only be near Liangcheng at present.

So I asked Yan Yingchen, "Brother, is there a beautiful place near Liangcheng that you can take a short trip for a day?"

Yan Yingchen pondered for a moment and said, "About 50 miles outside the city, there is a place called Tianbo Valley. The green mountains and rivers there are a good place to enjoy the scenery.

"If you drive 50 miles, you should be able to get there in more than half an hour, right?"

"Well, you can get there in half an hour. But Nian'er, can you... ride a horse?"

"Of course I will. It's just not very proficient yet." Horse riding was taught to me by a local herdsman when I was traveling in Inner Mongolia. It's just that I don't have much time to practice. At most, I know a little about it and some theoretical knowledge. For example, a person should walk in front of the horse and not approach it from behind or stand behind the horse. Get close to it, touch it, and deepen your relationship with it before riding it. Don't pull the reins too tightly when riding and so on.

"Nian'er, how did you seem to have a lot of things that you couldn't do in the past?" My husband spoke leisurely, which made my heart thump.

"Sir, after Nian'er lost her memory, she felt that she didn't know anything, so she often went to my study to read books. Presumably, a lot of knowledge was obtained from books. I think that now Nian'er is like returning to a piece of white paper. She is drawing a picture for herself. I don't think it's bad. Fortunately, Yan Yingchen came out in time to help me make up the scene. I looked at him, and there was still a warm smile on his face.

"Yingchen is also right, Nian'er...cough." The gentleman suddenly coughed as he spoke. Yan Yingchen and Che hurriedly got up. The gentleman stroked his chest and said, "No, you all sit down."

"Sir, is it a chronic disease again?" Che asked anxiously. The gentleman nodded and said, "Old problems, people are old, and all these diseases have run out. They are no younger." In a word, the three of us are a little gloomy.

"Sir, let's go back to your room and have a rest." Yan Yingchen frowned.

"Cough..., it seems that people can't do it if they don't accept it." Sir stood up and said, "Yingchen, take me back to my room." In fact, my husband's body has always been tough, but when the weather is cold and windy, chronic diseases are easy to attack.

As soon as Yan Yingchen and Mr. left, Fengyin Pavilion was left with me and Che, and the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

"Che, that... can you tell me your last name?" After saying that, I wanted to scold myself, but I asked such a boring question.

"My surname is Lin, and my single name is Che. I'm from Linsheng."

"You are also from Linsheng, so have you known Mr. for a long time?"

"Yes, Mr. Mu Jin is my teacher." Er... I'm really surprised that Mr. is his teacher. No wonder Mr. Che is so respectful.

"Che, ah, no, no, should I call you Mr. Lin?" Suddenly remembered that when I watched ancient costume TV series in the past, the women in it would be called "some prince" shyly. And I have not only ignored this detail, but also called a man clearly.

"No, let's call it Che. Those rules and etiquette are not suitable for you. Che raised the corners of his mouth and hung his iconic smile.

I smiled and immediately relaxed a lot, so I asked him, "Che, I want to ask you a question. I'm curious why you always angry with me when you first met me?

Che did not answer immediately, but lowered his body and approached me. He smiled evilly and said, "Because I heard that you lost your memory, you played a lot for a while. That's it."

After listening, I raised my eyebrows and said, "I don't believe it. You didn't know me before. What does it have to do with you if I lose my memory?

Do you want to know? I--no---say, what can you do?" I was immediately speechless, and Che seemed to return to the days when we first met.

"Hey, what kind of person are you? Sometimes it's gentle, and sometimes it's like an arrogant maniac. Why?" He should not have a split personality, right?

"One of the reasons is... I don't like to suppress my real feelings in front of the people I care about." He narrowed his beautiful eyes slightly and said very seriously.

I was stunned, the person I care about? What does he mean? I looked at Che doubtfully, but he had already looked elsewhere.

"Do you want to ride a horse? Miss Nianqing." Che still didn't look at me and asked gently.

"Of course, but where can there be a horse in Qinyuan?"

"You can have it as long as you want." Che stood up and said, "But please wait a moment, Miss Nianqing."

"Che," when he turned around, I stopped him again, "If you don't let me call you prince, don't call me young lady. I'm not used to it. If you don't mind, you can call me Nianqing or Qinger, okay?"

Che Canran smiled and said, "Okay, Qing'er." It was so natural to read the word Qing'er from his mouth, as if he had suddenly returned to the winter of many years ago.

After Che left, I was bored alone and walked over to play with the guqin placed in the Fengyin Pavilion. I thought I could still play some notes, but all the strange sounds that slipped out of my hand were changed. I smiled bitterly, and it seemed that I really didn't know anything about this elegant instrument.

"Qier, please let go of Mr. Meng Yi." A slightly hoarse voice sounded in my ear, and I looked up at him angrily. Did he mean that I was spoiling the piano? However, the name of Qin is beautiful, "Meng Yi", which reminds me of Sima Xiangru's "Green Yi".

"I just messed with it twice. What's wrong? Did you hear its painful cry?

Che smiled and said nothing. I was helpless and continued to ask him, "Where's the horse? Have you found it?"

"Well, let's go."

I followed Che out of Qinyuan and saw two tall horses tied at the door. I don't know much about horses, but even if they are not good horses, they are not comparable to ordinary horses.

"Qier, choose one."

I went to look left and right and decided to take the white one. I always have a strange idea. I always feel that the white horse should be a girl, not a prince.

"I want this white one. It's beautiful. That ugly one, you can ride it. It's a good match. It's easy to seize an opportunity to bury him and can't let it go.

Che didn't say anything, just walked over with a good temper, touched the brown horse, and then whispered a few words in its ear.

I was happy, touching my "Xiaobai" and said, "You have to cooperate with me well."

Then I was ready to get on horseback, but I obviously overestimated my strength, and I climbed there for a long time without climbing. Finally, I had to look at Che for help, but I saw him holding his arm and looking at me with a smile.

"Hey, come and help me up." I don't have the shyness of the ancient lady. I want to see my embarrassment in the next life.

He came over gracefully, held me, and gently put me on the horse's back. Then he got on the horse and said, "I'll take you to a place."

Because I was not familiar with the way of riding, Che and I rode on horseback and walked slowly. I asked Che, "Where are you taking me?"

"Of course, you have to go to an empty place to practice riding. I know it's very suitable to have an open space not far from Qinyuan."

"You're good. You've only been in Liangcheng for a few days, and you're so familiar with the terrain."

Che smiled and said no. After walking for a while, Che said to me, "It's right in front."

I found that this place was really good. There were basically no trees, but some low grass.

"Qinger, you can start practicing. However, the reins must not be pulled too tightly, and the speed should not be too fast at the beginning.

"No problem, don't worry." As soon as I pinched my stomach, "Xiao Bai" ran forward first.

I slowly adapted to the speed of "Xiao Bai" and adjusted my posture to make myself as relaxed as possible to fit the horse's body. Che has been following the horse by my side, which is not fast or slow, and can maintain a certain safe distance.

I glanced at him and saw that he was down, so I pulled out a smile and shouted at him, "Che, why don't we play the game?"

Then without waiting for him to answer, I suddenly patted the horse's buttocks, and "Xiao Bai" suddenly felt pain and rushed out. To be honest, the feeling of galloping on horseback is not so good, because sitting on the saddle will be upside down and down, and the tenderest part of the thigh will be painful.

"Qier!" Che quickly caught up from behind and called me with a black face.

"Isn't I okay? Do you have the demeanor of a heroine?" I ignored his Iron King Kong-like face and boasted to him.

Che ignored me and continued to have a black face.

"Focus, don't look east and west." The black face finally spoke. I smiled and said, "Yes!"

After riding for a while, I couldn't stand the pain on my leg, so I wanted to stop. So he pulled the reins vigorously, and then "Xiao Bai" raised his front hoof in an instant and hissed. When I reacted, I had been thrown into the air and was shocked, but there was no other way. I had to close my eyes and prepare for death.

But I didn't fall to the ground, but fell into Che's arms. The smell of saliva on his body penetrated into his nostrils, which made me want to sleep a little. Unexpectedly, the next second, I was removed and thrown on the grass. I suddenly opened my eyes in pain. But seeing Che's angry face, he shouted at me, "Yan Nianqing! You...didn't you listen to a word I said?

"I... forgot." I was scared by him and replied reflexively. I really forgot that I had a good time and completely threw the thing that I couldn't pull the reins back to my hometown.

"Does it hurt to fall?" Although his tone is still very hard, he is no longer so fierce.

"Hmm?" What did he say? Did I hear it wrong? Why did it become so fast? This guy is really awkward all the time.
