However, Ji Yujin didn’t really exploit Li Yu for long. He went to court when his injuries were almost healed.
Chu Fengqing, however, had some trouble. The Spring Festival was coming soon, and New Year’s Eve was not only New Year’s Eve but also Ji Yujin’s birthday. He heard from Lao Mo that Ji Yujin had not celebrated his birthday for a long time, and Chu Fengqing roughly knew the reason why he did not celebrate his birthday.
But he didn’t want Ji Yujin to always be immersed in that incident. One can remember it but not indulge in it. After all, people have to move forward.
Therefore, how to help Ji Yujin celebrate his birthday has become his biggest headache during this period.
That day, Ji Yujin came back from the court. Chu Fengqing saw that he looked very unhappy and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Ji Yujin put on the scarlet official uniform again. When he heard Chu Fengqing’s question, his expression frozen for a moment, and then he smiled.
He walked to Chu Fengqing’s side, glanced at the ancient book in his hand, and did not answer his question but asked, “Are you reading again?”
Without waiting for Chu Fengqing to answer, he touched his eyelashes with his hand and said, “Don’t ruin your eyes. Today is a nice day. Can I teach you how to ride a horse?”
Chu Fengqing looked at him doubtfully. “Now?”
Isn’t it a bit too sudden?
Ji Yujin pulled him and walked away, “Let’s go, let’s go. It’s better to do it today than to wait for another day. You don’t even need to check the almanack to ride a horse.”
Chu Fengqing did not refuse. He knew that Ji Yujin did not want to talk about what happened today, so he did not ask.
The two of them changed into lighter clothes and came to the horse farm. This was Ji Yujin’s private horse farm, managed by a dedicated person.
“I’ll take you to pick a horse first.”
Ji Yujin brought Chu Fengqing to the stable, but the two did not go in. Ji Yujin only had people lead out four horses, the black horse was his mount, and the other three were prepared for Chu Fengqing.
Chu Fengqing first glanced at the black horse and said, “Your horse is quite handsome. Does it have a name?”
Ji Yujin frowned. “How can you say that other males are handsome in front of me? I will be jealous.”
Chu Fengqing’s eyes curped slightly: “Then I will go to the streets to praise people tomorrow. I think we can open a vinegar shop in no time.”
Ji Yujin couldn’t help but laugh, “You have such a cruel heart.”
He patted his mount’s head and said, “This horse is called Black Dog.”
Chu Fengqing: “……” It’s hard to put it into words.
Ji Yujin explained the reason very considerately: “It’s mainly because of its bad temper. It won’t let anyone ride it, and it injured five people who were training it.”
Ji Yujin pointed at the other three horses and said, “It’s too fierce. I don’t dare to let you take risks. The other three have been trained since they were young. They are very docile and friendly. Pick one?”
The three horses have different colors, one is white with white mane, one is chestnut with black mane, and the other is yellow with white spots.
Chu Fengqing nodded, and he grabbed a handful of fodder in his hand. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the horses came up to him. He took the opportunity to touch the horse’s head. It was indeed very docile, as Ji Yujin said. Only Ji Yujin’s black horse disdained the fodder in his hand and stood aside by itself with its head held high. It was obvious that it was a difficult horse to deal with, just like its owner.
Ji Yujin stood aside with his arms folded across his chest and asked, “So happy?”
If one doesn’t look closely at Chu Fengqing, they may not be able to see the changes in his expression because the changes are very subtle. But Ji Yujin can always tell at a glance that when Chu Fengqing is happy, his lips may not change, but his eyebrows and eyes will always have a small arc, and his eyes are like stars.
Chu Fengqing: “These horses are very obedient.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the black dog that had been pretending to be cool suddenly stepped forward with its noble hooves and walked in front of Chu Fengqing. Ji Yujin frowned slightly and took Chu Fengqing into his arms.
“Black Dog, go back.”
Black Dog raised its head and snorted, scaring the other three horses back two steps. Then it glanced down at the two of them. After a while, it suddenly lowered its head and came in front of Chu Fengqing.
“Uh…” Chu Fengqing: “What is it?”
Ji Yujin: “……”
He almost forgot, this horse likes good-looking people.
Although he didn’t know why a horse would look at a person’s appearance, but he was able to tame it because of his face.
Ji Yujin narrowed his eyes. This horse really knows how to choose. He turned to Chu Fengqing and said, “There’s something wrong with this horse today. I’ll have someone take it back.”
Black Dog seemed to understand. It snorted and scratched the floor with its front hooves. Ji Yujin didn’t care about anything and just led the horse back.
Then he helped Chu Fengqing choose the maroon horse. After putting on the saddle, he taught him how to mount the horse by stepping on the stirrups.
“Keep your feet relaxed, don’t squeeze the horse’s belly, and hold the reins tightly, but don’t hold them too tightly either.”
Ji Yujin gave instructions on every detail. At first, he was worried, so he held the reins and took Chu Fengqing to run a few laps. Later, at Chu Fengqing’s strong request, he let him run a lap alone.
Ji Yujin’s palms were sweaty. “Slow down, don’t let go of the reins.”
Later, he found that he was worrying too much. Chu Fengqing quickly got the hang of it. Although he didn’t run fast, but his posture was very good.
Today, Chu Fengqing had his black hair tied up high, and he looked cool and beautiful in a jade crown and blue clothes. Ji Yujin slowly relaxed, leaning against the wall, waiting for Chu Fengqing to run by. He smiled and whistled, “Whose family’s handsome husband is this? Oh, it’s mine.”
Chu Fengqing felt a slight blush on the back of his neck as he listened to his frivolous words.
After running two laps, Ji Yujin stopped him and said, “Chu Fengqing, come down.”
Chu Fengqing pursed his lips. He had just learned it and was a little over it. He just wanted to run two more laps.
Ji Yujin saw through his little thoughts. He glanced at Chu Fengqing’s slightly sweaty forehead, narrowed his eyes, and said, “Are you planning to become fat in one go? Come down quickly.”
Chu Fengqing’s eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly thought of something and shouted, “Ge1Brother..”
Ji Yujin: “……”
Chu Fengqing had no expression on his face and said in a cold voice, “Ge, can I run another lap?”
Ji Yujin: “!”
“Who are you calling?”
Chu Fengqing: “You are one year older than me.”
Ji Yujin was slightly stunned and was thrown off balance by his shout. Chu Fengqing looked at him tentatively. “So, Ge, can I run another lap?”
Ji Yujin blushed slightly, he blinked and awkwardly said, “Ah, well, go another lap then.”
Chu Fengqing immediately whipped the whip forward, fearing that he would change his mind.
After Chu Fengqing left, Ji Yujin finally reacted. He touched his upper palate with the tip of his tongue, his fox eyes slightly raised, and he smiled in a very ruffian way.
Damn it, who can stand this?
