After traveling through time, I, as a mechanical genius, am dedicated to improving myself.

Zeng Li lowered her head and moved her toes, staring at her shoes in a daze, wondering whether to admit it.

This reaction was considered an admission by Situ Zhi, so he naturally placed his hand on Zeng Li's shoulder. "Where are you going? Why are you alone? Aren't we both going together? Where's the machine?"

"I'm counting to three."

Before he started counting, Situ Zhi put his hands down.

Zeng Li regained her voice, "We're planning to go horseback riding. If you come, I'll ask Jinbao to fix your face. It's not good to be too high-profile. I want to have some fun and be free."

Situ Zhi felt inexplicably anxious.

"Zeng Li, what's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong?" Zeng Li looked at him in confusion.

"You're like someone who's seriously ill and has lost all desire to live, so they're out to relax and prepare to end their lives. You have no desires, no emotions, and everything is indifferent, as if you don't care about anything."

Zeng Li looked away: "Are you crazy? I have Cang Yuan here, I won't die even if you die."

Jinbao went to handle what happened last night.

Now the whole network knows that Zeng Li is traveling in disguise.

Chi Xilu also fell into deep thought while watching the news.

What is Zeng Li doing? If she doesn't want people to know her whereabouts, no one can know. Without her consent, there will be no reports about her on the Internet.

Racecourse.

They each picked a horse.

Situ Zhi followed carefully behind. Zeng Li obviously didn't know how to ride, but she was brave.

"Zeng Li, when the horse starts to shake, you have to move with it. Don't be thrown up passively, otherwise your inner thighs will be rubbed and injured, and you won't be able to walk tomorrow."

"Pay attention to the rhythm. Follow the horse's rhythm first, don't fight it."

With her intelligence and courage, and a master by her side, it only took her a moment to get the hang of it. Zeng Li found the rhythm and steed the horse to run, while Situ Zhi followed behind in fear.

Looking at Zeng Li's back, I don't know what she is going to do.

When they reached a lake, the horse stopped to eat grass.

"Zeng Li, come down and talk."

Situ Zhi dismounted first and went to pick up Zeng Li, but Zeng Li dismounted quickly and did not need him.

"What's wrong with you? You're acting weird."

Zeng Li asked back, "What's so strange about that?"

Situ Zhi's voice grew louder. "Everything's weird. You look like you're on a private trip, not a work trip. I called you to test you. You had a million ways to get me to stay in Cangyuan, or maybe even threaten me, but you didn't. You agreed to this intimate trip for a single man and a single woman. Aren't you afraid that I'll think you're giving me hope? This isn't like you."

Zeng Li suddenly felt sad for a moment.

Quickly calm down.

When I looked up, I couldn't see it anymore.

"You're worrying too much. What's wrong with friends traveling together? They don't even share a room. Even though Jinbao isn't a human, how can they be alone? There are people everywhere on the street."

Seeing Zeng Li's unreasonable arguments, Situ Zhi didn't continue the topic anymore. Instead, he wanted to see what she wanted to do after going around in circles.

But Zeng Li changed her mind and didn't want to go to the remote place anymore.

"Situ Zhi, have you gotten better?"

"You are getting better from the bottom of your heart, not because I and Chi Xilu are pressuring you to do so."

Situ Zhi whipped the surrounding grass with a horsewhip.

His silence made Zeng Li look away from the distance.

The two rode back, the atmosphere tense and uneasy, neither acknowledging the other, like a couple on a tangent. The stable owner, upon seeing this, kept nagging, "I told you guys to pay me to follow you, or you'd get hurt, and the horses wouldn't get out of control. You insisted on saving the money. Did you have a fight? We came out here to have fun, not to get into a fight over such a small sum."

Jinbao walked over from the stable and followed Zeng Li.

Situ Zhi pursed his lips and didn't follow. He called Chi Xilu from a distance behind.

Chi Xilu answered the phone quickly: "What's the matter? Didn't you go to see Zeng Li?"

"I found her, but I think she's weird. I can't explain why, but she's just weird. She's trying to make me better. The kind of change that won't let me go back to the way I was before, no matter if she's around or not."
