After briefly taking care of everything, Aunt Mei took Yang Xi out of the courtyard and waited outside the bamboo forest.
Not far away, Feng Ba and Mei Fu were standing on a horse. Feng Ba seemed to explain something. Mei Fu nodded and galloped away into the distance. Feng Ba pulled the reins of the horse and the horse trotted all the way to the two of them.
He looked at Yang Xi and stretched out his hand: "Come up."
Yang Xi looked at him, then at the dark horse, which didn't look very friendly, and couldn't help but hesitate. "I won't...ah!"
Before she had time to react, he scooped it up with his big hand and she was already sitting firmly on the horse. The black horse seemed to be uncomfortable with having someone on its back for a moment. It flicked its tail and moved its limbs. Yang
Xi felt her body sway, her vision blurred, and she felt dizzy.
"Ah!" She exclaimed and hugged Feng Ba's waist tightly, "I...I'm afraid..."
Feeling his arms tightly wrapped around her slender waist, she calmed down and looked up at him, her expression pitiful.
"First time?" He didn't expect this.
She nodded and felt the black horse beneath her move. She was so frightened that she hugged him tightly, clinging to him with her trembling body.
Seeing this, he held up her slightly pale face, pressed a kiss on her forehead, and said warmly: "Trust me."
She looked at him deeply, and finally buried her head on his chest and whispered: "I believe you."
She closed her eyes and stopped looking at everything in the world. She hugged him tightly and didn't let herself have a chance to regret it.
Feng Ba pulled the robe around her, nodded slightly to Mrs. Mei, pulled the reins, and the black horse neighed and flew out like an arrow.
The wind roared wildly, and Yang Xi felt her eardrums gradually aching. She pressed her face tightly against Feng Ba's chest, ordering herself to relax. The unique and delicious smell of his body seeped in, and she smelled it.
This smell, feeling his strong heartbeat, her high-pitched heart gradually calmed down.
This man will never let her get hurt in the slightest. Believe him...how can you not believe it?
The journey was dusty, and he only stopped twice to let her rest. It was not until late afternoon that they arrived at an unknown town. The horse, which had worked hard all day, finally stopped in front of an inn.
Feng Ba hugged Yang Xi and got off the horse. He ignored the strange looks from others and carried her all the way to the second floor of the restaurant in the front yard. Yang Xi had been tossing on the horse for a day, and his body was already so tired that it felt like it was falling apart.
At this time, I couldn't care less about the pointing behind me, and leaned my head in his arms, turning a deaf ear to everything in the world.
When she reached the corner of the second floor, she slowly opened her eyes, and saw Maeve looking at them with a smile. She was startled, and her face suddenly turned red.
She could shamelessly pretend not to care when she snuggled up to Feng Ba in front of strangers, but in front of Mei Fu, she still had some sense of shame. She was embarrassed, and lightly tugged on Feng Ba's clothes.
He whispered: "Put me down."
He walked straight to the table by the window and gently put her down.
As soon as her feet touched the ground, her legs went numb and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Feng Ba had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he grabbed her with his big hand and placed her firmly on the chair. "Does it hurt?"
Her face turned a little pale, and he looked at her slender body with a flash of distress in his eyes. "Where does it hurt?"
She kicked her legs, and a soreness and numbness hit her, making her almost cry. She flattened her mouth and said pitifully: "My legs are numb."
Hearing this, he pulled a stool aside and sat down next to her, put her slender legs on his thighs, and kneaded them carefully for her.
This move caused everyone around to start talking about it. This indescribably handsome man was so doting on his delicate wife that he actually rubbed her legs in public! He was so shockingly good-looking,
It is such a pity, such a pity that he would do such immoral things...
When Yang Xi heard all this, blush spread all over her neck and pretty face. She said anxiously: "Quick... stop rubbing it, you will be laughed at."
Although her legs felt very comfortable after being kneaded by him, she couldn't afford to be embarrassed.
"Ignore it." He said calmly, without any pause in the movements of his hands.
No one would ever question what he said, and ignoring it meant ignoring it. She had no choice but to lower her head and not look at those colored eyes. He didn't let her go until she felt her tight legs gradually loosen up.
, "Still numb?"
"I'm not numb anymore." She smiled quickly at him and retracted her legs far away into the corner.
Mei Fu, who had been ignored all the time, asked the waiter to deliver the pre-ordered meals. Yang Xi finally noticed his presence. At that moment, the blush that had just subsided returned to her face. In order not to
This meal was too embarrassing. She cleared her throat and asked him around: "Why are you here?"
"I will go home with the master and his wife." Mei Fu replied. Outside, they all called Feng Ba master.
"Then...where's Aunt Mei?"
"I will go back to see my mother when I have time."
She didn't ask any more questions. Although she didn't understand many things, she also knew that walls had ears, and some things couldn't be said outside.
The waiter quickly served hot meals. After the waiter left, Maeve quietly tried every dish with a silver needle. After finding nothing strange, she respectfully invited the two of them to eat.
Yang Xi felt a little cold in her heart when she saw his actions.
People's hearts are evil and the world is dangerous. They don't know how many dangers are waiting for them along the way. She looked up at Feng Ba and suddenly said: "When you get back, can you teach me martial arts?"
"Okay." Without any hesitation, "As long as you can bear it."
I have never forgotten that she has not been a person who can endure hardships since she was a child. She cannot stand being too cold or too hot, not to mention that she will be injured and in pain when practicing martial arts. The slightest pain can make her wail for a long time.
Thinking of this, a hint of pity appeared on her cold thin lips. How could this delicate and frail little woman not be cared for carefully?
Yang Xi could guess what he was thinking by looking at his expression. She pouted and was about to protest, but because of the sudden sound of panicked footsteps in the stairwell, she suppressed the words she wanted to say.
Turning around, I saw a panic-looking man climbing up to the second floor, stumbling to the window, staring at the stairs like a ghost. He was slender and good-looking, but his clothes were stained with streaks
The intricate bloodstains looked like someone had whipped him wildly with a whip, and the whole person was in a miserable state.
Following his gaze, he saw a woman in red walking gracefully up to the second floor, with a beautiful face and a smile.
Yang Xi saw the smile on her face, and for some reason, she actually shuddered.
That smile makes one's heart tremble.
When the man in the corner saw that face, his face turned pale and he fell softly to the floor.
