“Who wants to practice with you?” Jiang Duoyao clenched her fists as she limped away. She felt her body burning.

Yan Molun laughed softly. What a woman who didn’t mean what she said. He had the sudden urge to call Song Chuyi. How did he manage to get Changqing, who was also someone who didn’t mean what she said?

1“Alright, since you want to take a stroll, you can take your time. I prefer enjoying the scenery on horseback since you can see farther.” Yan Molun got back onto the horse. However, he did tighten his grip on the reins so that the horse would walk more slowly. Even so, Jiang Duoyao still felt a little aggrieved. It did feel weird strolling with a horse. Besides, it was true that you could see farther on horseback. She stole a glance at Yan Molun but he didn’t look at her. He was playing on his phone.

She felt a little stuffed up inside.

Yan Molun was sending a text to Song Chuyi as he was someone who took action immediately. On top of that, he had reception.

Song Chuyi was probably very free so he replied very quickly: Are you sure that she doesn’t what she says? It’s not that she doesn’t like you?

Yan Molun frowned and replied: Do you think I’m Shaobin?

Song Chuyi: Apologies. I’m afraid I won’t be able to help you with this. My wife isn’t someone who doesn’t mean what she says. In contrast, she’s very shameless, unreasonable and pretentious.

The corners of Yan Molun’s mouth curled into a smile.

Jiang Duoyao gave him another death stare. Who’s this person he’s texting? He’s smiling so broadly. Could it be a woman he has on the outside?

Yan Molun held onto his phone and finally lowered his head to look at her. “Are you sure you don’t want to come up?”

“... No.” She turned her face away. However, she would still consider if he begged her to go up.

“Alright then. I want to go up the hill to look at the scenery ahead. We definitely won’t be able to make it back in time if I were to walk over there. You can walk slowly; I’m going over there first.” Yan Molun shouted “Go” and the horse started galloping.

Before Jiang Duoyao could react, the horse had already galloped towards the hill up ahead. She was a little dumbfounded. When she regained her senses, she couldn’t believe that Yan Molun actually just left her behind. She stomped her feet in anger but was embarrassed to call him back to say that she wanted to take a look too.

However, she was still very angry inside so she cursed Yan Molun several times. This ungentlemanly scum. He actually left her behind and ran off to the hill to look at the scenery.

How despicable. He wasn’t even afraid she would be in danger.

The hill appeared to be close but it was actually very far away, at least a few kilometers. Jiang Duoyao definitely didn’t dare to walk over so she could only walk slowly around the grass field. She didn’t want to go back to where the Tibetans were racing because she felt a little awkward and foreign.

However, the grass plains stretched far and wide. No matter how far Yan Molun went, she could still see that dark silhouette riding his horse, reaching the hill slowly.

...

She loitered around the grass plains for around half an hour before Yan Molun came back on the horse to look for her.

She lowered her head and looked to the other side, refusing to look at him.

Yan Molun said to her from horseback, “The view on the hill is even better.”

“I’m not at all interested in any views,” Jiang Duoyao said with a snort, turning her head to avoid looking at him.

Yan Molun watched her for a while. He stepped on the stirrups and jumped off before picking her up and putting her on horseback.

She was caught off guard and felt just like a baby being raised high in the sky by him. She shrieked from fright but his arms were strong, and after putting her onto the horse safely, he mounted the horse himself. His arms passed from under her arms and he said softly by her ear, “It’s okay if you’re not interested. I want to take you there to take a look. It felt as though something was missing looking at the scenery without you just now.”

His voice was just by her ear and his deep voice was a little hoarse and enchanting. Her heart skipped a few beats and she bit her lower lip silently.

This jerk was charming her again, insisting on saying such enchanting things instead of staying cold and aloof. How annoying.

Yan Molun looked at her silently before galloping back to the hill again. The horse was only halfway up but it was enough to see the grass plains on the other side. On the horizon, there were snow-capped mountains, sheep and cattle, nomad tents, and the blue sky was dotted with white clouds, looking clear as though it was just washed.

Jiang Duoyao looked at the sheep and cattle, smitten. They were so cute, especially the way the sheep looked when they grazed.

Seeing that she liked what she saw, Yan Molun directed the horse closer to the sheep and cattle. The livestock seemed to be a little afraid of strangers and they dispersed in all directions.

“Don’t chase them; it’s good to look at them like this too.” Jiang Duoyao leaned forward and lay on the horse’s head as she watched a nearby sheep grazing cutely.

Yan Molun didn’t disturb her. He jumped down the horse silently and smoked two sticks while the horse grazed as well before mounting the horse. “Let’s go back.”

Jiang Duoyao nodded. She had already forgotten she was angry earlier.

Back at the horse-racing competition area, many people had already left. Yan Molun returned the horse and the two drove back to the school.

...

It was another multiple-hour-long journey. Jiang Duoyao was probably tired from playing on the grass plains, so she fell asleep soon after getting into the car.

She slept for more than three hours and when she woke up, they had covered two-thirds of the journey. The sky outside had turned completely dark unknowingly. The man driving in front was still in a very serious and upright position. Duoyao remembered he was sitting in this position before she fell asleep and he was still like this even after she woke up. Suddenly, she felt a little guilty inside. Actually, things were pretty hard on him.

She thought for a while and passed him a bottle of water. “Are you thirsty? Do you want some water?”

Yan Molun turned his head to look at her in shock. She scratched her neck embarrassedly. “After all, you drove me to remove my stitches.”

“No need.” He laughed a little before turning his head to continue driving. “That kiss was enough.”

That kiss...

Jiang Duoyao shrank in the back again and remained silent.

They drove for another half an hour before the car came to a stop halfway up the mountain. She came out slowly.

Yan Molun was carrying some things he bought from town. He switched on the flashlight and suddenly held her hand.

“What are you doing?” She got a fright and wanted to fling his hand away but his hand was tightly stuck to hers like gum.

“It’s cold at night; I’m warming you up.” His handsome face was hidden in the darkness and he sounded very calm and matter-of-fact. “Besides, the route is difficult at night—you might fall.”

“I don’t want to.” Jiang Duoyao squirmed and wanted to pull her hand out. “You just want to hold my hand and take advantage of me.”

A smile surfaced in the depths of Yan Molun’s eyes. “You’re right. I just want to hold your hand. Everything I said earlier was an excuse. Why must you expose me?”

Jiang Duoyao’s face heated up all of a sudden.

She didn’t expect him to reply so straight-forwardly.

Should she retort? However, he didn’t seem to want to give her that chance, walking forward as he pulled her along.

She strode forward mechanically. Perhaps it was because she was drifting off that after just a few steps, she suddenly tripped over a rock and her body lunged forward. However, she didn’t fall to the ground. Instead, her face hit his lower abdomen and her other hand which he wasn’t holding grasped one of his thighs tightly, afraid she would slide down.

Yan Molun lowered his head and looked at the woman whose face was buried in his waist. His face darkened as he said gloomily, “Were you very curious about my size and wanted to take a close look?”

1Jiang Duoyao was stunned. When she regained her senses, she realized where her chin was facing and where her other hand was hugging. She blanked out for a moment and quickly stood up. Her face was burning so much it was almost cooked. “Yan Molun, you’re so obscene. Didn’t you see that I tripped just now?”

“You still said you didn’t need me to hold your hand. If I wasn’t holding your hand just now, you would’ve probably disfigured your face from the fall,” Yan Molun said lightly.

Jiang Duoyao bit her lips angrily. “It was because you were holding my hand, making me too nervous that I...”

“Don’t push the blame onto me. You’re just too careless.” Yan Molun lifted the hand which was holding hers and said, “Besides, you just need to get used to things like this.”

“Who needs to get used to it?” Jiang Duoyao pouted as she blushed.

Yan Molun shook his head. “You just don’t mean what you say. Actually, sometimes, you should learn from Changqing.”

“She...” Jiang Duoyao snorted. “She’s not much different from me.”

“She has much higher EQ than you,” Yan Molun said lightly.

“No way.” Jiang Duoyao was slightly startled.

Yan Molun shook his head as he smiled. Even friends of so many years could have so many things they didn’t know about each other.

Jiang Duoyao became gloomy. He actually said her EQ couldn’t compare to Changqing’s. After all, she had been in a relationship in university. Although they broke up not long after and had only held hands, Changqing had never even been in a relationship before she met Song Chuyi.

Thinking about holding hands, she couldn’t help but glance at her little hand in Yan Molun’s hand. They weren’t holding hands with their fingers intertwined. Her hand was completely wrapped in his, just like their kiss on the grass plains previously when he had her completely encircled.

She started to let her thoughts run wild once again and didn’t watch where she was going. This time, she knocked straight into the bag Yan Molun was carrying.

He turned back once again and looked at the awkward woman. He sighed. “I have reasons to suspect you’re doing this on purpose now. Do you think it isn’t enough for me to just hold your hand and you want me to carry you?”

“No, I... I was just thinking about something.” Jiang Duoyao was also frustrated at herself and was completely dejected. “Who wants you to carry them?”

“Glad that you think that way,” Yan Molun said calmly. “We should hold hands before hugging. Take it step by step. Don’t be too impatient.”

Jiang Duoyao stared wide-eyed at him and was so embarrassed she was at a loss of words. “I don’t want to be impatient. Yan Molun, you’re such a hypocrite. What was with that kiss in the afternoon then? Shouldn’t kissing come after hugging?”
