Free Web NovelXiao Li said nothing, just continued to teach Ice Cube how to ride a horse.
Hmm, riding a horse doesn't seem to be all bad like he imagined; he should just ride a horse whenever he goes out from now on.
Mo City is a chaotic mix of people and things; losing a carriage or something like that is quite normal, isn't it?
Ying Bing pursed her lips, pretending to look at the scenery, her hands clutching the reins, so tight she couldn't even open them.
Her expression was still cool and dashing, but her serene eyes were flustered, her breathing clearly lost its rhythm, sometimes letting out a long sigh, sometimes nervously holding her breath.
Friends who often ride horses would know.
Some horses are well-trained and run steadily.
Some horses are wild and fiery, and riding them is quite bumpy; they don't care if the person «N.o.v.e.l.i.g.h.t» on top can handle it or not, and if you get thrown off, it's just the owner's bad luck.
Ice Cube regretted it; she bought such a wild and fiery horse.
"Slow... slower... there are many people ahead."
"Alright."
Li Mo coughed lightly, held down the snorting black-maned horse, and pretended nothing happened as he looked at the street market beside them.
The road was congested with carriages and horses, and the human voices were deafening; riding a horse was even slower than walking.
But Li Mo dared not dismount.
Ying Bing also didn't know if she was riding a horse.
It seemed so, but she didn't seem to be sitting on the horse... Fairy sister could only try to distract hammer treasure's attention. She pointed at the stalls on the street:
"Is that the riddle-guessing stall from before? I haven't been here in a long time; the owner doesn't seem to do riddles anymore; he's changed to something new."
"Hmm, it seems to have changed to Touhu."
Li Mo's gaze followed her line of sight.
He saw that the place where he first met Ice Cube in this life was still bustling, surrounded by many people.
The owner looked older, but he was still full of spirit, his shouts full of vigor.
With a pull of the reins, the two stopped.
Lanterns and masks were no longer given for guessing riddles, but for throwing into the pot.
"How can an ordinary person throw it in with their eyes covered, this old man?"
Li Mo said, looking at the stall owner counting coppers.
"He gives more arrows than other stalls, so with more tries, you might hit it by chance, and the pot doesn't move..."
Ying Bing stopped halfway through her sentence.
She suddenly turned her body, sitting sideways on the horse's back (in Li Mo's arms).
Her face was cold, but her ears were crimson.
"..."
Li Mo opened his mouth, but all his ambitious thoughts at the tip of his tongue were pulled back by him:
"Not learning to ride anymore?"
"Not for now."
"I have a feeling our family's carriage will be stolen tomorrow, so we'll have to ride horses for a while. If you don't learn, I'll have to ride the horse and carry you every time we go out."
"?"
Ying Bing felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong with what the childish ghost said, so she could only give him a glare and reached out to poke him.
Ah, just then the horse stepped onto a curb and jolted.
Her delicate hand, aiming for his waist, hit by chance.
Ying Bing: "!"
Li Mo: "!!!"
Xiao Li gasped, his scalp tingling.
After all, it is well known that when Han Xianzi is flustered or shy, it doesn't show on her face, but her fingers and toes curl up.
Now she was shy and... flustered.
"Li Mo."
"Mm-hmm."
"Listen to your sister, no more fooling around."
Ying Bing narrowed her eyes and said softly.
Phoenix Heavenly Empress's delicate hand was out of control, so she simply made a virtue of necessity.
It's just that she might have wanted her tone and gaze to be colder.
But her voice sounded soft and gentle.
Her eyes were also like the moon in a lake rippled by the wind, showing little playfulness.
But Xiao Li still behaved himself; with his weakness exposed, he had no choice but to be obedient.
Whoosh... Bang — — — —
Suddenly, a bursting sound came from above.
Li Mo didn't look up, but in those beautiful eyes, he saw a thousand trees blooming like flowers in the east wind at night, and a lone star accompanying the moon's glass-like reflection.
"This fireworks display is so beautiful."
"I've seen it once before, but this one is even prettier."
Ying Bing had watched it alone last time.
Upon hearing this, Li Mo's mind couldn't help but picture Ice Cube standing alone on the street, watching the dazzling lights, and then silently calculating how long it would be until she could come find him... "Ice Cube."
"Hm?"
"What were you doing when I wasn't around?"
"Waiting for you."
"Thank you for looking for me for so long, and waiting for me alone for so long."
Li Mo rested his chin on her slender shoulder, speaking softly and earnestly.
Ying Bing tucked her stray hair behind her ear, her smile more beautiful than the night sky: "It wasn't long..."
"Why do you feel it wasn't long?" Li Mo asked.
Ying Bing was startled. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
And she always felt that time passed very quickly, probably because no matter how long the time, as long as there is a goal, it is not endless.
She quietly leaned on his shoulder as well:
"Because you'll be waiting for me in the future."
"Then what if I change and become different from before?"
"No, you're a childish ghost."
Is this perhaps another way of saying 'returning is still a youth'?
"Hey, you're looking down on me a bit. I've lived two lifetimes in Tianhuang Domain, after all."
Li Mo's eyes suddenly darkened, and he smiled like a villain in a novel.
Xiao Li felt that his smile now surely carried three parts indifference, three parts nonchalance, and three parts coldness.
The remaining one part, he felt, was wicked charm.
"?"
Ying Bing frowned and tried to pull at the corners of his mouth: "Why are you smiling like that? You look a bit unintelligent..."
But the next second, that mouth drew closer and pressed against her lips.
Ying Bing froze for a moment, all thoughts in her mind vanished at this instant, like a strong sense of weightlessness making one feel as if they were high in the sky, with fireworks still exploding in the air.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she finally closed her eyes, melting into his embrace.
There was no need to look at the fireworks anymore; that dazzling and colorful scene became even clearer with her eyes closed... Outside, within the jiangshan sheji map, the scene of the two embracing and kissing under the fireworks seemed to freeze.
"He kissed her?"
"Still asking if he kissed? You might as well ask if he stuck out his tongue!"
"Damn it, no matter how hard or tired I am, I'm not sad, but seeing Li Mo bite down like that is more painful than killing me."
"Isn't this the Heavenly Human Trial? Is this what I came to see? Give me my money back!"
"The Prosperous Wife Swordsman and Han Xianzi are a match made in heaven, a perfect couple; who are you, a demon or monster, to object?"
After a moment of silence, the scene became quite chaotic.
There were still people who expressed their inability to accept it, but at this point, under the influence of a certain Qingluan Clan Chief, the CP fans had gained an absolute upper hand.
"Hey, where's Qinqing?"
Qin Yuzhi scratched her head and closed her eyes to sense for a moment.
Oh, Shang Qinqing had been staring at the jiangshan sheji map for so long that she couldn't bear it today and went back to rest. Now she was snoring so loudly in Wanchun Court that it was shaking the heavens.
She just missed the 'action'.
When she wakes up, she'll probably feel like the sky has fallen.
On the high platform.
Jingtai Emperor coughed and asked Yantian Laolao: "When is the next auspicious day?"
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by asking that?"
"If they truly help Great Yu win the bet, I don't know what to reward them with, so I might as well go with the flow and bestow a marriage."
