After a brisk ride, Mo Qingmei broke out in a sweat, a smile on his face. "I lost."
"Take a break and sing another little song for me." After Bai Wuxia said this, he burst into laughter.
The three of them sat on the ground while the horse strolled around, occasionally lowering its head to nibble at the newly emerged grass sprouts on the ground.
I'd ridden too fast just now, my face was numb from the cold. Now the warm sunlight shone down, slowly dispelling the chill. Xia Chu felt uncomfortable sitting, so she simply stretched out her arms and legs on the ground, feeling cozy and comfortable.
Bai Wuxia and Mo Qingmei both looked at her. How could she pose like that? It was so rude!
But the expression on Xia Chu's face was one of excessive enjoyment. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were half-closed, as if she was about to fall asleep.
"What are you looking at? Come and lie down for a while." Xia Chu patted the empty space beside him.
Mo Qingmei bit her lip, feeling that lying like this was rude and indecent, and was not how a girl should behave.
Bai Wuxia, however, didn't hesitate and lay down beside Xia Chu. However, she didn't lie down like Xia Chu, but turned sideways to face Xia Chu, so that she could get more sun. She relaxed and smiled.
"When my brothers and I were little, we would lie down in the yard and bask in the sun after playing. My mother said we were like cats. When we were tired from playing, we could lie down and sleep anywhere." Xia Chu thought of her childhood. "Although I am very happy now, it was really good to have no worries when I was a child."
Mo Qingmei looked around. Besides the horses, they were the only three of them. Zhang Zhou and Wang Qiuyu had disappeared somewhere, and there were no servants around. She slowly lay down, facing Xia Chu. She could smell a hint of dust and grass. The sun shone on her body, and there was no wind. She slowly relaxed and looked up at the vast sky. She felt so small, like an insignificant speck of dust.
"The sky is my quilt and the ground is my bed, the breeze accompanies me to enjoy the coolness." Xia Chu said with a smile.
"With the sky as the tent and the earth as the floor, I can do whatever I want." Mo Qingmei said softly, and then smiled, feeling free and at ease.
"The sky is my tent and the ground is my felt. The sun and the moon accompany me as I sleep." Bai Wuxia said with a smile.
The three of them lay quietly for a while before getting up. After all, the ground was cold and the chill was strong. They didn't bother to get the horses, but just walked back slowly.
"When you're in an open space, you seem to become more open-minded and relaxed." Mo Qingmei looked up at the sky. Forget it, what's there to worry about? Might as well just go with the flow and talk about the future later. She wasn't in such a hurry to get married. Previously, she'd only been anxious when she heard her best friend was getting married, thinking about herself without her mother's hard work. Now, she thought it was unnecessary. Although her stepmother was cold and aloof, her father was her biological daughter. He had doted on her over the years, otherwise her stepmother wouldn't have been so honest.
After figuring it out, I suddenly felt enlightened. As for the dowry, my father might not be unaware of it. I'll see later. My aunt and uncle wouldn't let my stepmother bully me. I might as well enjoy my time before I get married.
Not long after they started walking, Wang Qiuyu's screaming laughter could be heard in the distance. Xia Chu looked over and saw his second brother and his younger brother galloping on horseback. Wang Qiuyu was held in his arms, his hands raised, howling.
The children's happiness was simple and straightforward, and their laughter was very contagious. Xia Chu couldn't help laughing along, and Bai Wuxia and Mo Qingmei couldn't help laughing either.
"Qiu Yu is going to have a lot of fun today." I hope he doesn't wet the bed tonight ~ Xia Chu thought secretly in his heart.
"Brother Qiuyu likes this place, so you should bring him here often. As you know, our horse farm is not open to the public. It is only open to our family and some relatives and friends." Bai Wuxia put his arm around Xia Chu's shoulders and turned to look at Mo Qingmei. "Qingmei, call me next time you want to come. I'll accompany you."
"Okay." Mo Qingmei nodded with a smile.
"Hey, Xia Chu." Bai Wuxia suddenly lowered her voice, covering her red lips with her hand. "I always thought your second brother was a nerd, but today I see he's completely different."
Huh? Xia Chu smiled, then covered her lips like hers and said, "Don't be fooled by my second brother's gentle and easygoing demeanor. He's actually quite mean."
Mo Qingmei heard Bai Wuxia's words and looked at Zhang Zhou, who was riding his horse in the wind. He had a rare, cheerful smile on his face, and the gentleness between his eyebrows seemed to be blown away by the wind, bringing with him the unique youthful boldness and unbridled spirit that moved people.
She bit her lip, a blush spreading across her cheeks. She stole a glance at Xia Chu and Bai Wuxia, who were still whispering to each other. Xia Chu had been ruthlessly exposing her brother's past, and no one had noticed her. She breathed a sigh of relief, unable to resist glancing at the young man on the horse.
The boy's starry eyes curved, shining like the crescent moon in the night sky. He ran happily across the pasture, his horse like a shooting star and his man like an arrow. Occasionally, he lowered his eyes to look at his brother in his arms, revealing a hint of tenderness and doting.
Mo Qingmei's heartbeat suddenly went out of control and he didn't know what was happening to him.
On the return carriage, Wang Qiuyu swayed twice, then fell asleep in Xia Chu's arms.
"Little pig." Xia Chu mischievously pinched Wang Qiuyu's chubby little face. It felt wonderful, soft, tender, and firm. He was a solid little fat boy. She couldn't help but pinch it a few more times. Seeing that Wang Qiuyu's white face was red from her pinching, she quickly rubbed it gently twice.
"Are you a little lacking in skills?" Bai Wuxia couldn't help but say as she watched her brother's little face, which she had been playing with for a long time.
"It's so soft." Xia Chu said. Wang Qiuyu in his arms was annoyed and hummed twice, then turned his head and hid his face.
"Don't mess with him." Mo Qingmei couldn't bear it anymore.
Xia Chu gave a wicked laugh and really didn't provoke Wang Qiuyu again.
After saying goodbye to his friends, Xia Chu saw that his younger brother was sleeping soundly and felt reluctant to wake him up. "Second brother, Qiu Yu has fallen asleep. Come and hold him."
Zhang Zhou responded, lifted the curtain, bowed and apologized, then picked up his brother and got out of the carriage.
Mo Qingmei lowered her head, but couldn't help but secretly glanced twice. She didn't know what was wrong with her.
Bai Wuxia didn't notice her strangeness, he lifted the car curtain and waved to Xia Chu.
"Why did you fall asleep?" Dong Xiaohuan came over and touched her son's face. As long as he didn't have a fever, he was fine. She turned to look at Xia Chu and asked, "Are you tired from playing?"
"My second brother took him horseback riding. He went crazy all day and his voice became hoarse." Xia Chu poked Wang Qiuyu's face with a smile.
Dong Xiaohuan frowned, "If you play so wildly, don't wet the bed tonight."
Xia Chu laughed out loud, "I'm worried too."
Zhang Zhou couldn't help laughing, "He's not allowed to drink water before bed, and I wake him up at night."
Dong Xiaohuan said in a dilemma: "I'd better wake him up, otherwise how can he sleep tonight?" But she stretched out her hand and then retracted it, because she couldn't bear it.
"Wake him up. He hasn't had dinner yet. If he wakes up hungry in the middle of the night, I have to light a fire and cook for him." Zhang Zhou shook his brother, "Qiu Yu, wake up. It's time to eat."
Wang Qiuyu groaned twice, unable to open his eyes. Xia Chu didn't care and pinched his nose to wake him up.
