The mist that had accumulated in his heart for many days finally dissipated, revealing his original appearance, just like pulling out the clouds and seeing the sun. Li Qinyuan looked at the girl in red sitting high on the horse, and suddenly felt enlightened.
He finally knew what was the reason for his mood swings in the past few days.
He... likes her.
I must have liked it a long time ago.
That's why he was happy because of her happiness, uncomfortable because of her discomfort, always worried about her, wanted to see her, and felt jealous when others mentioned Zhao Chengyou's past with her.
There's nothing wrong with it, there's no other reason, it's just that he's in love with her.
The number of people who will come to the riding and archery class is almost the same. Men and women all wear Hu clothes that are convenient for riding and shooting. But among so many people, Gu Wuyou is still the most conspicuous one.
She was wearing a red beard robe with a waist that showed her body, and the long boots on her feet made her legs slender and straight. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, and both her hair and the hem of her clothes would flutter in the wind.
The bright and noble girl from the past, after taking off her complicated dress, was actually a bit more beautiful than usual.
Vibrant and gorgeous.
Li Qinyuan hadn't even walked to the racecourse, when she heard many people whispering about her, "This Leping County Lord is really good-looking, if you don't say anything else, it's just her appearance. pass."
"She looks good and has a good figure. I don't know who will have the good fortune to marry her in the future."
Young Master Li, who had just determined his intentions, immediately became a little unhappy when he heard these discussions. Qing Jun, who was still smiling, had a dark face, as if he was pressing down on a few black clouds.
He turned his head and glanced at the people who were talking, all of them were young men with blushing faces stealing glances at Gu Wuyou, with admiration and admiration in their eyes, but they didn't see any vulgarity.
But even so, Li Qinyuan was not happy.
For the first time in his life, he likes people, and his mood is very complicated. He wants to hide her and can only be seen by him from now on. He also feels that such a good girl should be seen by everyone, so that everyone can see her. Know how good she is.
This complex emotion is mixed with some caution and hesitation, as well as inexhaustible joy and sweetness.
He wanted to say to them, "You know what, this prettiest little girl will laugh at me, cry at me, eat breakfast with me, help me beat bad guys, and defend me in public."
"She has me in her eyes, and you can only watch!"
He also wanted to say to them, "Do you know how soft she is in private? She will blushed, tug at my sleeves, and be embarrassed for reprimanding people for being seen by me."
He also wanted to say...
I don't know if it's because he's been staring for too long, even Gu Wuyou, who was originally rough, seems to have noticed something, or maybe Gu Xiaojun is very sensitive to his eyes, so when so many people are watching. , she still caught the eyes of Li Qinyuan in time.
She was talking to Gu Yu when she suddenly turned her head and looked behind her.
When she saw Li Qinyuan who was still standing on the trail, a brighter smile burst out from that bright little face. The little girl didn't know any scruples, and smiled and waved in his direction.
And what about Li Qinyuan
When he saw the smile on her face, all the complicated emotions that were unclear in his heart suddenly disappeared, and his heart seemed to calm down like this, no longer hesitating, and no longer thinking too much.
What Cho Seung Woo
What does that have to do with him? No matter how good they were in the past, even if she liked him in the past, it's over.
He is not a fool.
know how she feels about him.
After thinking about it clearly, after thinking about it, Li Qinyuan, who had been suppressed all morning, finally laughed. He seldom smiles on weekdays, but the smile on his face at this time is like the dazzling new sun.
He looked at her, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and the wind lifted his hair, making him feel a little more dashing and romantic.
The two looked at each other like that.
Li Qinyuan only felt that his heart was beating wildly, and the joy spread more and more. It was a kind of joy mixed with sweetness, sweeter than the sweetest candy he had ever eaten before. There was a thick layer of maltose, which was directly sweet to his heart.
In fact, not many people saw this scene.
It was almost time for class, everyone was looking ahead, only Jing Yubai, who was standing beside Li Qinyuan, saw all this... But he just pursed his lips and smiled, looked aside, and didn't say anything.
In such a charming and sweet atmosphere.
Fu Xian, who was puzzled by the style, didn't notice it at all. From the corner of his eye, he saw that Li Qinyuan and Jing Yubai were still behind. , hurry up, Lao Meng is calling you!"
Li Qinyuan regained his senses.
He watched Gu Yu pull Gu Wuyou aside, and glared in his direction as he walked away, as if he was holding her cabbage.
But Young Master Li was obviously in a good mood. Not only was he not angry, but he raised his lips and glanced at the figure of the little girl in red before he replied slowly, "Come on."
The gentleman who teaches riding and archery is surnamed Meng, and his name is only Hui. He used to be the head of the Kyoto camp. He injured his arm in a battle. Although he usually looks like an ordinary person, he can't fight in battle.
Later, he devoted himself to Luming Academy, teaching students some skills of riding and archery.
It's time for class.
Although they are in the class together, there is still a difference in the order. The girls ride horses first, and then practice archery, while the boys come in the opposite direction... The horse farm of Luming Academy is not too small for other academies.
But there are so many students in the class, even if there are many horses, it is not easy to crowd together, so each school is divided into three batches.
Gu Wuyou and Gu Yu were divided into the first batch. When Buzhizhai and Changrongzhai were practicing archery, they had already turned on their horses. There were about ten little girls of the same age, wearing all kinds of Hu clothes. This will sit on horseback while holding the whip.
"Hey, don't lose the face of our Gu family later." The arrogant Gu Yu shook his horse whip and talked to Gu Wuyou next to him.
Gu Wuyou was looking for Li Qinyuan in the crowd. Hearing this, he tilted his head and smiled at her, "Don't worry, I won't embarrass our Gu family." Her riding and shooting were taught by the general. , it will not be embarrassing.
"Well."
"Don't try too hard, anyway, it's just practice now, it's not the test yet..." Gu Yu said the last sentence very lightly, as if a little embarrassed to reveal his concern, "Just don't get hurt."
Gu Wuyou rolled his eyes, and his voice became softer, "Okay."
Mr. Meng stood aside and raised the flag, holding a whistle in his hand, and said to them, "From here as the starting point, go around the racecourse three times, and the first to come here is the first."
"As soon as I blow the whistle, you will start."
After a pause, he put the whistle to his lips and started a rhythm, "Get ready!"
The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and even Gu Wuyou became serious. Instead of looking for Li Qinyuan in the crowd, she focused her attention on the front. The whistle had just sounded over there. Suddenly they all rushed forward.
Standing on the other side, Fu Xian and the others were still waiting for the people in front to practice archery, which would be free. While watching Gu Wuyou and the others competing, they said boredly, "Hey, guess who will win?"
After he finished speaking, he opened his mouth first, "I'll bet on Gu Yu, although that girl is a little bit rude, but riding and shooting is really good. When I went hunting with third brother Gu last year, she was there. "
"Don't say, her kung fu is not inferior to that of a man."
In the end, he had to sell himself and boast, "Of course, it's definitely not as good as me."
Qi Xu thought for a while, "I'll bet on that Miss Lu, her father is a hussar general, and Mr. Meng praised her before."
"Where's Qilang?" Fu Xian asked him.
Li Qinyuan didn't say anything, but looked in Gu Wuyou's direction. There were so many people, but he seemed to be the only one in his eyes. He watched her raise the horsewhip, watched her bend down, looked at her gorgeous clothes With flying in the wind, watching her bright little face raised a bright smile.
He also smiled and seemed in a good mood.
"What are you looking at?" Fu Xian was a little puzzled. Just as he was about to follow his gaze, he heard Li Qinyuan beside him say slowly, "I bet on her."
"Huh? Who is it?" Fu Xian was stunned for a moment, but he followed his gaze. When he saw the red shirt, he seemed to be stunned, and asked after a while: "Little Pepper ?"
"Um."
"Shiro, are you crazy?"
"Little Chili can't lift her shoulders or pick it up, she's too tired to ride a horse, you bet on her to win..." Fu Xian babbled, and wanted to say more, when Qi Xu suddenly grabbed his arm, "A Xian , look!"
"What are you looking at?" Fu Xian grunted, looking at the sound, and almost didn't jump up.
On the racecourse, Gu Wuyou, who was still at the back, did not know when he was already juxtaposed with Gu Yu, and from his point of view, he was even a little bit ahead of Gu Yu.
what's going on
Fu Xian was shocked.
There are also many people who are also surprised, whether they are men or women, whether they know Gu Wuyou or not, they will all look at the girl in red in surprise.
Gu Wuyou only came to the academy later. No one had ever seen her ride a horse before, and she was stunned to see her tied for the first place with Gu Yu, who was always the best for riding and archery.
And after being stunned, it was maddening.
Those who were waiting for the horses were no longer in a hurry, and those who were shooting arrows were no longer in a hurry, and they all turned their heads to look at the racecourse.
What's more fun than a good-looking girl racing a horse? For a while, there were shouts one after another on the racecourse. Some said, "Worry-free, hurry up."
Gu Yu was obviously also surprised, she looked at Gu Wuyou next to her, "When did you ride and shoot so well?"
"A long time ago." Gu Wuyou smiled, she was waving her horse whip in the cold wind, and the wind blew her voice a little, she turned her head to look at Gu Yu, raised her voice and smiled at her: "Go, Let's continue!"
After she finished speaking, she raised her whip and rushed out first.
And Gu Yu, who was behind him, raised a smile when he heard this, waved his horse whip, looked at Gu Wuyou's back, and said with a smile, "Come on!"
The onlookers looked very excited, and the contestants were also very serious, but at the end of the three laps, Gu Yu and Gu Wuyou actually had a draw.
Meng Hui laughed and said, "How dare you make a bet in my class. If you, Mr. Pan, know about it, you will probably have to be disciplined again."
"Don't you want to watch it, sir? Just now, sir, you were no less loud than us."
Meng Hui's temperament is generous, but he is not polite. He often gets along with students on weekdays. Hearing this, his face turns a little red, he coughs lightly, and says, "This is the time for class. If they compare again, you But you won't necessarily be able to ride a horse."
"fine!"
"It's not that you've never ridden a horse."
"That's right, we're going to watch them play!"
…
They were so noisy that Meng Hui's head hurt, he shook his head, and in the end he could only laugh and scolded: "You bastards, first ask the parties whether they agree or not."
Gu Yu hadn't had enough fun, so when he heard this, he naturally replied, "I promise."
After speaking, she turned her head and said to Gu Wuyou enthusiastically, "How about it, shall we do it again?" She hadn't been so excited for a long time!
Gu Wuyou naturally has no objection. She also enjoys the feeling of galloping on a horse. When galloping against the wind, it seems to be able to dispel all troubles... She nodded, "Okay."
Everyone was very excited when they saw her two promises, but Meng Hui was still rational, and said with a smile: "Let them slow down first, and then replace them when the second batch comes down."
about this.
Everyone has no opinion.
The second batch of people has already started. This time, they are all acquaintances, and there is nothing special. Everyone is not so interested in watching... The archers continue to shoot arrows, and those who speak continue to talk.
There are many people who want to talk to Gu Wuyou, but because of her identity and temperament, they are afraid to come.
Fu Xian was not so entangled. He directly dragged Qi Xu and the others to the front of Sister Gu Wuyou. He was also very excited. He blushed and said excitedly when he saw Gu Wuyou, "Little Pepper, When did you become so great?"
Gu Wuyou smiled at him, but still used the words she just said to Gu Yu, "a long time ago." When she was talking, she also glanced at Li Qinyuan, the boy in white stood at the end, and when she saw her look over, not only did she not dodge Instead, he raised his long eyebrows and smiled at her.
His heart suddenly beat a little faster, and his face slowly turned red.
Gu Wuyou, who could not change her face in the face of everyone's compliments and stares just now, is now blushing just looking at the young man's smile... She is always like this, every time she sees Li Qinyuan, no matter what he does or says , couldn't help feeling ashamed.
Naturally, Fu Xian and the others didn't notice her change, and they continued to say, "You're hiding it too well. When we're free, let's go hunting in the northern suburbs together."
He didn't mind when he didn't hear her answer, he turned his head and said to Gu Yu again, "Gu Qiniang, it's a pity that I still bet against you just now, you are too useless!"
The two of them didn't know when they started, and they quarreled when they met...
One of them would yell, "Who told you to bet on me to win?" and the other would say, "I'll press whoever I want, hey, don't hold back later, I'm betting on you with real money, if you lose, You pay me!"
In the midst of these clamorous voices, under Li Qinyuan's smiling gaze, Gu Wuyou finally walked in front of him. She raised her head and asked implicitly, "Did you see it just now?"
The little girl's face was very red, her eyes were bright, and when she looked up at him, it was like a child seeking approval and praise.
Li Qinyuan looked at her and suddenly felt a little itchy in his hands. He wanted to touch her little head, bent down, lowered his head, and said to her, "I see, it's amazing."
But the surrounding turbulent environment is really not suitable for such an intimate action, he can only hide his hands behind him, suppress his mood, and softly "um", after speaking, he frowned.
Are you acting a little too cold
He thought for a while, then changed his tone to a gentler tone, looked her in the eyes, and said, "I see, it's amazing."
Hearing his compliment, Gu Wuyou was even more happy, she looked at him with frowning eyes, and couldn't help but say, "I'll be even better later!" She paused for a while, and then said, "I will take the first place. Let me show you, okay?"
The little girl is quite aggressive.
Li Qinyuan found it interesting, especially looking at her face, she was so soft-hearted, and her voice was much gentler than before, "Okay, I'll wait for you to get the first one."
"Okay." Gu Wuyou wanted to say more, when she heard Gu Yu calling her from behind, "Gu Wuyou, let's go, it's our time!"
"coming."
Gu Wuyou responded. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Li Qinyuan, he heard the voice of the young man Lang Qingyue sounding first, "Go, I'll watch you... Wait for you to come back first."
The last sentence he pressed lightly.
But because of this deliberately lowered tone, it showed a somewhat unusual atmosphere.
Gu Wuyou blushed, and even her ears were a little hot. She always felt that today's general was a little different, but she couldn't explain it clearly, just that he suddenly felt less awkward? It seems a lot calmer.
When she turned to leave, she was still thinking about this question.
But when she got on the horse and saw the Qingjun youth standing in the crowd looking at her and smiling, she was not so entangled again.
do not care.
Show him the first one first!
Gu Wuyou looked back when she thought of this. She held the whip and looked straight ahead with a very serious expression.
This time it was just her and Gu Yu. The venue was very empty, and Gu Yu, who was beside her, became more serious. Before Meng Hui started, he turned to her and said, "I won't underestimate the enemy this time. ."
Gu Wuyou raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Neither would I."
"Are you all ready?" Meng Hui asked from the side, and when both of them nodded, he stepped aside and said with a smile, "Get ready!"
The whistle sounded.
Both Gu Wuyou and Gu Yu rushed out.
People from the three academies were watching on both sides, and many people were shouting for those who bet for them. Xu Wan used to not deal with Gu Wuyou, but now even Gu Yu, who has been defending Gu Wuyou in every possible way, is not pleasing to the eye. Now, everyone around me is cheering for the two of them, pouting, "It's just riding a horse, is it worth the excitement?"
"Ayi, let's go and stay by the side, it's crowded here."
After he finished speaking, he didn't hear Xiao Yi's answer. He looked back and found that Xiao Yi's eyes were fixed on the front, his hands were clenched tightly, and his face was pale.
"Ayi?" Xu Wan shouted again.
Still no response.
She frowned and gently pulled Xiao Yi, and saw that the person who had no response suddenly seemed to wake up with a big movement, and even the people around her turned their heads to look, under the gaze of a group of people, Xiao Feeling a little embarrassed, she said "sorry" to the people she bumped into, then turned to look at Xu Wan, and asked in a hoarse voice, "... What's wrong?"
"You still ask me what's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Xu Wan frowned, "It's like I lost my soul. I called you several times, but you didn't answer."
Xiao Yi shook his head, his voice still a little hoarse, "I'm fine, I just didn't rest well yesterday."
"Let's go and stand outside, it's crowded here." Xu Wan was so uncomfortable that she didn't even look good with her face.
Xiao Yi nodded, and when she was leaving, she glanced at the racecourse behind her, or... glanced at Gu Wuyou, who was still riding a horse, she seemed a little hesitant, but in the end she followed Xu Wan out of the encirclement.
The competition has reached the most intense time, both of them are running the third lap, but they are both biting very tightly, and they can't tell the winner for a while.
Fu Xian was even more excited than his own competition, grabbing Qi Xun's arm tightly, and staring in the direction of the racecourse for a moment.
Jing Yubai glanced at it with a smile, then turned to Li Qinyuan and asked him, "Guess who will win?"
heard.
Li Qinyuan raised his eyebrows, and without looking at it, he said, "She."
He doesn't care who will win, in his heart, the little girl will always be the first... Moreover, he also believes that she will win.
The boy in white folded his arms and looked at the girl in red in the racecourse, thinking that when she left just now, he said with certainty that he wanted to take the first place, there was still no smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth could not help showing a touch of tenderness. smile.
But at this time-
Gu Wuyou, who was galloping on the horse, suddenly changed his face, and the previously very gentle horse under her also raised its hooves and ran forward like crazy.
At first, the onlookers didn't notice this situation, and even Gu Yu didn't notice it.
Only Li Qinyuan, who had been watching Gu Wuyou, seemed to have noticed something. His originally very relaxed face suddenly changed, and in a burst of exclamations, the boy walked through the crowd.
The fierce cold wind swept across his face, and he ran forward desperately, reaching out to the panicked girl, "Manman, don't be afraid."
