Chaotic World Book-Chapter 84 - 82 Treading Snow Wuzhui

Zhao Changhe, humiliated and trapped by a naive fishing law enforcement, was so full of sorrow he now only wanted to gather everyone at the Cui Family ancestral shrine to announce, "I am an idiot."

You really think Yangyang is naive!

Fortunately, the naive one didn’t press further with questions, because her own face was too hot, making it impossible for her to continue flirting or snuggle into his arms out of sheer embarrassment.

She was still just a young girl, her skills had awakened, but she didn’t know how to use them...

Inside the room, only the somewhat disorganized breathing of both parties remained, their gazes darting to and fro as they avoided eye contact.

"What do you want me to give you?"

The man had to admit that he really had such thoughts.

Seeing her rosy cheeks, he truly wanted to nibble and kiss her.

Especially since he knew she wouldn’t refuse.

But...

Zhao Changhe gritted his teeth, "Screw hiding!"

He finally stopped avoiding Yangyang’s gaze and slightly bent down, cupping the young girl’s hot cheeks with both hands: "Yangyang."

"Ah..." Cui Yuanyang was both bashful and joyful, her heartbeat almost leapt out of her throat...

Had Brother Zhao ever been so affectionate with her before? Always treating her like a little sister, it inevitably made her feel that Brother Zhao didn’t really harbor those kinds of feelings for her, maybe just stuck in a situation with no easy way out, and perhaps truly nothing would happen after three years.

But today’s act, although like treating a younger sister, especially with their height difference—he had to bend over to cup her cheeks, adding a touch of humor to the situation.

But treating her like this, if not a blood sister then a sweetheart, isn’t something one would do with just any sister...

Zhao Changhe gently rubbed her cheeks and softly said, "Yangyang, I know what you’re worried about... but Brother Zhao really likes Yangyang."

Cui Yuanyang’s bashfulness nearly vanished, her eyes gleaming brightly.

"But Yangyang is too young." Zhao Changhe continued rubbing her face as if kneading dough, "We agreed on three years, so let’s wait three years. Whatever the Human List, what’s so great about it? I’ll step onto the Human List and come to the Cui Family as a spectacle to meet my grand Yangyang by then, okay?"

Cui Yuanyang felt very happy inside, but she muttered, "Liar, you said you liked this Yangyang just the way she is, and don’t want her to grow up."

Zhao Changhe laughed, "Keep the mind from growing, let other parts grow."

"Pah, you’re not a good man!" The little rabbit stamped her foot in anger, freeing herself from his face-rubbing and ran out of the study with her cheeks in her hands: "The epochal books are on the upper shelf, go and find them yourself."

Zhao Changhe straightened up, exhaling a long breath.

It’s actually quite simple, why the fuss?

Watching the young girl’s flustered fleeing form, Zhao felt like he was almost laughing with an aunt-like joy; is it not good?

He cheerily poured himself a cup of tea and leisurely browsed through Wen Jing’s bookshelf.

Wen Jing only outlined the general situation, more historical details needed to be seen now rather than later, right? This is the Cui Family Head’s collection after all, an exploration and research accumulated by a top-tier family throughout the years, and now shared with him. The significance of this moment might even surpass obtaining a Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

Sipping tea, reading, and teasing the blushing young girl—could life get any better than this?

...

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao!"

The next morning, Zhao Changhe climbed out of bed in the guest house, customarily shooed away the maids intending to attend to his washing, and again as usual, started practicing with his blade.

Barely half an hour into practicing, there came Cui Yuanyang bustling over from her rushed escape yesterday: "Practicing with the blade again?"

"Yes, your dad mentioned having someone alter the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow for you, and it’s been a whole night without seeing it... huh?" Zhao Changhe casually responded, turning his head and almost twisted his neck: "Why have you turned back into a rabbit?"

There she was, Cui Yuanyang, having swapped her light green gown for a fluffy rabbit ear costume once more, the prototype of a noble young lady disappearing instantly to become a naive-looking girl again.

Just yesterday she had a bit of the demure lady look, but now she was carefree, hopping over and giggling, "Brother Zhao clearly likes this Yangyang best. Your eyes always smile when you see me like this."

"Cough, cough." Zhao Changhe coughed, "I like both. But with spring almost over, aren’t you hot still wearing that?"

"Clear and Bright Festival isn’t even over yet, ever heard of late spring chills!" Cui Yuanyang jingled as she pulled his hand towards the outside: "Let’s go to the stable, they said we’ve got some new horses, I haven’t seen them yet. Let’s go and have a look together, Brother Zhao."

Zhao Changhe put away his blade, being pulled by the bouncing little rabbit leading the way in front, he too, unconsciously took on a bit of a hopping stance, such was her infectious energy...

The so-called stable was quite far, out of the city, and even then still quite a distance; they could see a large river, with boats floating on it. Along the river lay boundless grazing lands, several riders were seen galloping, and not too far away, with the wind blowing and grass bending, numerous horses were frolicking.

"This is our family’s stable!" Cui Yuanyang dragged him onto the grassy field: "It’s a bit quiet today because of last night... otherwise at this hour, the place would be bustling with people racing horses, very lively!"

Zhao Changhe sniffed, suddenly recalling a phrase Cui Yuanyang once said.

— "My family owns a river."

That’s not just having a river by my home, that’s literally owning a river.

No wonder Cui Yuanyang was quite good at riding, her usual daily life summed up may well be four characters: fighting cocks and riding horses—how could her horsemanship not be good...

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang!" Cui Yuanyang pulled an elder by the grassy field, "How’s my Black Peony? I’ve been thinking about it."

Uncle Wang smiled, "We bought a few good horses from the Western Regions a few days ago, they’re figuring out pairing them with Black Peony."

Cui Yuanyang’s eyes widened, "Mat... mat... mating? But Black Peony is still young!"

Wang Bo glanced at Zhao Changhe and stopped talking.

"Miss, do you understand your father’s feelings?"

Both the young boy and girl understood the elder’s gaze and blushed in embarrassment. Cui Yuanyang stomped her feet and said, "Take me to see! How dare such a lousy horse breed with my Black Peony? I won’t allow it!"

"Yes, your father thinks so too."

The elder didn’t dare to say more, and led the two to see the horses. Zhao Changhe originally thought that Cui Yuanyang, this little white rabbit, would like white horses, but unexpectedly it was the "Black" Peony. When they arrived, he was dumbfounded.

A snow-white horse that was as beautiful as a unicorn approached Cui Yuanyang, very enthusiastically galloping up to her. Cui Yuanyang also happily hugged the horse’s neck, "Black Peony, I’ve missed you so much!"

Zhao Changhe: "?"

You really call such a white horse Black Peony? Why not call it Black Pearl, which would have sounded much better!

Cui Yuanyang turned her head to look at him and giggled, "Zhao brother, why the twitch?"

"Why would you name a white horse like that?"

"It’s just to see the expression on other people’s faces, hahaha..."

Zhao Changhe: "Damn."

Cui Yuanyang was about to say something when suddenly there was a chaotic noise of horse hooves from behind. People shouted, "Miss, be careful, this horse is still wild, and we are still free-ranging it. Be careful of it bumping into you!"

Cui Yuanyang turned her head curiously, and her eyes lit up.

A glossy, pitch-black stallion came galloping toward them. Its body was black, but its hooves were snow-white, as if treading on snow, very beautiful. Several riders were chasing behind it, shouting and waving their lasso ropes trying to catch the horse.

Cui Yuanyang pulled at Zhao Changhe, "Hey hey, big brother Zhao, do you like it?"

Zhao Changhe said, "I don’t know how to judge horses... Just from its appearance, is this what you would call Trampling Snow in Black?"

"Trampling Snow in Black, good name." Wang Bo smiled, "This horse hasn’t been named yet."

"Then let it be called Trampling Snow in Black!" Cui Yuanyang dragged Zhao Changhe, "I’ll take big brother Zhao to tame the horse!"

"Hey hey hey! What do you mean by taming the horse, I can’t even ride!"

"It’s very simple!" Cui Yuanyang jumped up, flipped nimbly, and landed securely on the galloping stallion. The riders behind her all cheered loudly, "Great! The miss’s skills are getting better!"

During their talk, the horse had already sped past Zhao Changhe, Cui Yuanyang leaned over, reached out her hand, pulled Zhao Changhe, and he accordingly flipped over, sitting behind her.

The stallion broke free of its reins and sped away. The riders behind looked at each other, slowing down their own pursuit, not daring to come forward.

In such a public setting, this man was holding the waist of the miss on the horseback... The miss’s face was flushed red, extremely delighted.

It was wise not to go after them, it seemed there should be no problem with the Miss taming the horse...

"How do you tame this?" Zhao Changhe asked exasperatedly, holding the young lady’s waist. He really didn’t want to hold her like this in front of so many eyes, but this horse was different from the previous ones, shaking left and right, and throwing them about. If he hadn’t practiced to this point, with enough strength in his legs to hold on, a person who couldn’t ride a horse would have been thrown off long ago.

Cui Yuanyang, who should have been responsible for taming the horse, suddenly seemed unable to tame it anymore, her whole body weak, as if she had no strength at all, almost collapsing into the man behind her, "Zhao, big brother Zhao...you, you hold me, I have no strength..."

Zhao Changhe: "?"

"Neigh!" The stallion raised its forelegs, and its body leaned back, about to toss the two feeding it off its back.

Zhao Changhe, annoyed, stretched out his hand and punched towards the horse’s head, "Others take their girls on a horseback ride, I also take a girl on a horseback ride, why can’t you show some respect! Stop trying to throw us off, behave!"

Cui Yuanyang: "..."

The stallion, dazed by the punch, jumped around. Zhao Changhe tightly clamped his legs around the horse’s belly, wrapping his entire body around Cui Yuanyang, extending his hands forward to firmly grasp the horse’s neck.

The strength of the Mystical Gate Fourth Layer was not something ordinary robust horsemen could compare to... No matter how majestic the stallion, how could it resist Zhao Changhe’s strength now?

"Still stubborn!" Zhao Changhe punched again, "Jump again, and I’ll beat the hell out of you!"

The horse seemed almost tearful, struggling for a short while, but finally began to calm down, transitioning to carrying the two along the riverside leisurely.

Seemed tamed?

Zhao Changhe catching his breath, looked down at the young girl in his arms, "Hey, is this how it should be done?"

Cui Yuanyang also looked up at him, her eyes twinkling, "Big brother Zhao said he doesn’t know how to ride, turns out he’s naturally good at taming... See how well-behaved it’s become."

Zhao Changhe: "..."

Are you talking about the horse or the horse?

Hmm, Trampling Snow in Black, are you talking about the horse, or me pressing down on you?

Cui Yuanyang looked around; the stallion had galloped for a while, and there was no one around. The river breeze blew gently, the sound of the river lapping, looking far into the distance, a faint silhouette of a sail was visible.

The murderous intent from crossing the river had transformed into today’s warm spring breeze; the dangerous situation of escaping on horseback had become today’s leisurely stroll.

Cui Yuanyang, gazing entranced, slowly leaning into him, said softly with some affection, "Big brother Zhao, when you leave... could you... kiss me?" free𝑤ebnovel.com

Zhao Changhe neither hesitated nor was excessive.

He lowered his head, lightly kissed the little rabbit’s burning cheek, and whispered, "I should have put a seal on first... Wait for me."
