Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

The moment his back pressed against the tree trunk again, he immediately kissed him again, more fiercely and urgently than before.

It carried a restlessness that came after being interrupted.

The new trunk had smoother bark, and he placed his arm under her back to shield her from the roughness of the trunk.

During a brief pause for breath, Yu Chen lowered his head and kissed her eyelids.

His voice still carried a hint of hostility. "Continue."

"Well……"

His kisses were urgent and intense, giving her almost no chance to breathe.

The insect that had frightened her earlier was now forgotten and she had no time to think about it.

Only the chaotic sound of breathing remained in the woods...

In her final, hazy state, Su Wuli only heard the man threatening her in her ear.

She couldn't hear clearly, but she remembered that he forbade Jiang Yue from teaching her to ride a horse again.

Su Wuli woke up lying in the messy bedding, momentarily disoriented and unable to tell what day it was.

My legs felt sore and weak as soon as I moved them.

That would be too tiring.

She muttered a complaint to herself, but couldn't help thinking that Yu Chen had clearly been holding her the whole time.

But why does he not look tired at all, and even seem to be getting more and more...?

She stared blankly at the ceiling, inwardly crying out that it was unfair.

She didn't know how much time had passed until her phone alarm rang, which brought her back to her senses.

I sat up and rested for a while before getting out of bed to wash up.

The person in the mirror has a small patch of broken skin on the inside of their lower lip, which is slightly painful, and on their neck...

Can not bear to look.

She futilely tugged at the collar of her pajamas.

Although it was a little uncomfortable at first when his back was pressed against the tree trunk, Yu Chen kept supporting it with his hand, so his skin didn't get chafed.

She skipped the morning training session, citing feeling unwell.

Wen Yan came over in the afternoon, carrying a bunch of ointments that she said could relieve muscle soreness.

She barged in, threw her things on the sofa, and her gaze swept over Su Wuli's face before her brows furrowed.

"What's wrong? Was yesterday's training too intense?" she asked, leaning closer.

Wen Yan's words were perfectly normal, but Su Wuli heard them in a completely different way.

In her dream yesterday, she vaguely heard Yu Chen speaking fiercely in her ear.

"Does he think I haven't trained hard enough, and that I still have the energy to go find someone else to practice horseback riding with?"

It felt as if the man's hot breath was spraying on her earlobe, and a blush instantly appeared on her fair face.

"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red all of a sudden?" Wen Yan raised her hand and placed it on her forehead to check her temperature.

He asked doubtfully, "No, it's not hot."

Meeting her friend's puzzled look, Su Wuli smiled awkwardly and pulled her hand down.

"I'm not feeling unwell, maybe... it's just too hot today."

Wen Yan's gaze fell on her lips again, where the redness and swelling from the broken skin had not completely subsided.

She frowned and parted her lips, "How come your lip is sore too? You managed to hurt your lip while practicing horseback riding?"

There is something in the words.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli subconsciously pursed her lips, avoided her gaze, and picked up the remote control to turn on the air conditioner.

"Yan Yan, I... I don't want to learn horseback riding with Jiang Yue anymore."

"What?" Wen Yan was stunned for a moment.

Thinking she had misheard, she said, "You're not going to learn from Jiang Yue anymore? Didn't you practice quite well yesterday? Jiang Yue even praised you to me, saying you have good comprehension and are progressing quickly."

He turned to look at her, saying, "Is it because he didn't teach well? Was he too strict? Or..."

"No," Su Wuli quickly interrupted her, shaking her head. "He taught very well; it's my own problem."

"Your own problem?"

Lin Wenyan was even more puzzled. "What's wrong? Did you fall before and have a phobia of it? That can't be. You seem to be riding quite well."

Su Wuli opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

After hesitating for a moment, he stammered, "I just feel... it's not quite right."

Wen Yan raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms. "What's wrong with it? Jiang Yue is very experienced."

After saying that, she looked him up and down, her eyes sharpening. "Tell me the truth, what exactly happened? Was it Jiang Yue... him... towards you..."

"No!" Su Wuli immediately denied.

Her voice was a little hurried, "He was very professional and disciplined. It was my own fault. I... I had a nightmare."

She had to come up with an explanation, otherwise it would indeed be disrespectful to Jiang Yue for no reason.

They didn't charge me any money.

"Nightmare?" Wen Yan was stunned. "What does having nightmares have to do with learning to ride a horse? And you dreamt of falling off a horse and dying?"

He fell to his death...

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli swallowed hard, thinking that it was indeed almost fatal.

He then said, "Actually, I've almost finished practicing, so I don't need to trouble Jiang Yue anymore."

Wen Yan stared at her for a long time, then dropped the teasing look on her face and put her hand on her shoulder.

"Are you under too much pressure? Don't take those comments online too seriously. If it really comes down to it, we can use a stunt double or do it in post-production for the horse riding scene."

I, Su Wuli, shook my head. "I want to film it myself."

"Fine, I can't persuade you otherwise." Wen Yan sighed. "Why didn't I realize you were this stubborn before?"

"Really?" Su Wuli looked down at herself.

"I can't quite put my finger on it," Wen Yan said after a moment's thought, "but something just feels different."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli didn't think too much about it and didn't dare to look her friend in the eye, for fear that Wen Yan would see through her.

....................................

The official filming will begin in the next couple of days. Ever since the video of her falling off a horse surfaced online, book fans have had opinions about her.

Many book fans even went to the official Weibo account and asked the production team to reselect the female lead.

The director also communicated with Lin Liwen, urging Su Wuli to learn how to ride a horse within the next few days no matter what.

They knew that learning to ride a horse was not easy, so their minimum requirement for her was that she could not fall off the horse again.

..................................................................

As night fell asleep, Su Wuli reappeared at the hunting grounds in her pajamas.

Based on her own experience, if her dream is always about the hunting ground, it's highly likely that her reality is also about the hunting ground.

wrong.

She suddenly realized that Yu Chen didn't have any sense of reality; he wasn't a human being like her, with a life of his own.

She was lost in thought.

Yu Chen led two horses over.

His gaze fell upon her, sweeping over her for a moment.

Su Wuli also looked down at her pajamas.

He thought to himself, "What can I do? I always wear pajamas to sleep, don't I?"

However, Yu Chen didn't say anything more.

He opened his lips and said, "Mount up."

Su Wuli was slightly taken aback.

"What? You're not going to study anymore?" Yu Chen asked.

"Learn." She snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, then climbed onto the horse.

"Keep your legs together."

Yu Chen patted the belly of the horse in front of him and spoke up to remind him.

The horse puffed out hot air from its nose.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli obediently did as she was told.

Having practiced so many times before, I was able to adjust immediately.

"Didn't I teach you this before?" He stood beside the horse and repeated the key points, "Otherwise you'll fall off."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at her with undisguised eyes.

It was as if she were a poor student who didn't listen to the lecture and had completely forgotten the key points of the lesson.

Realizing what had happened, her face flushed.

There was clearly a hidden meaning in his words.

Previously, she even had to say it herself, saying that this would help her remember it better.

Yesterday too...

As the memory came back, the fingers holding the horse's reins trembled slightly.

She lowered her head, her ear tips burning.

A soft laugh suddenly came from the side.

Su Wuli's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously looked at the man beside her.

His gaze fell down.

He spoke meaningfully, "Why are you shaking?"
