Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧?≦*)

Mu Qingchen was a gentleman who rarely smiled, but when he did, his warm and gentle demeanor was particularly heartwarming.

The servant girls' eyes were wide with admiration.

Young Master Qingchen only showed such a gentle side when he was with the Little County Princess, which was truly captivating!

Little County Princess crossed her arms and cunningly said, "Actually, you didn't want to teach me, so you found someone else to do it, right?"

Without changing his expression, Mu Qingchen removed a leaf from her head and said, "Little County Princess might as well give it a try."

Little County Princess looked at Gu Jiao again, scrutinizing her from head to toe, curious about what was on her face, "Why do you have a flower on your face?"

Even though she was clearly younger than Little Jing Kong, she didn’t use baby talk.

"I painted it?" Gu Jiao said.

Little County Princess replied with particular authority, "Paint one for me later too."

The servant girls pressed their lips together, stifling their laughter.

The job Mu Qingchen had for Gu Jiao was to teach the Little County Princess how to ride a horse. Mu Qingchen himself wasn't very good at teaching children. He had observed Gu Jiao interacting well with Su Xue’s roommate's younger brother in the stands yesterday and thought Gu Jiao had a talent for communicating with children.

Gu Jiao asked, "Just that?"

Mu Qingchen replied, "Little County Princess has asthma. Since you have medical skills, there's no one more suitable than you."

"Oh." Gu Jiao understood, "Should I come every day, or——"

Mu Qingchen shook his head, "No need, just come once every three to five days. You can decide how long each session should be based on the Little County Princess's physical condition. Fifty taels a month."

Gu Jiao was quite satisfied with the workload and payment for this job.

Since it was the first day, Mu Qingchen was also concerned about whether Gu Jiao could handle the task, so he stayed with her.

The two of them first went to the stable to help the Little County Princess choose a horse.

Little County Princess had her own designated stable.

The stable was filled with gentle ponies, and the Little County Princess let Gu Jiao choose. Gu Jiao picked a white one, "You're wearing a white fairy dress today, it matches perfectly."

Perhaps the word "fairy" pleased the Little County Princess, as she lifted her chin and said, "That's exactly what I thought!"

The stablehand brought the Little County Princess's custom saddle, and Gu Jiao fixed the saddle in place and lifted the Little County Princess onto the horse.

But before the Little County Princess could sit properly, she threw herself at Gu Jiao, "Wait, wait, wait! I'm scared!"

Gu Jiao made a sound and said, "What's there to be afraid of? It's very gentle. As long as you hold the reins, you won't fall off."

Little County Princess clung to Gu Jiao, her small arms wrapped tightly around her neck, not daring to look back, "I'm just scared!"

She absolutely refused to get on the horse.

Mu Qingchen wasn't surprised. He had tried teaching Little County Princess several times, each time ending with her not getting on the horse.

Gu Jiao paused and then asked the trembling Little County Princess in her arms, "If you're scared, why do you want to learn? Children don't have to ride horses."

Little County Princess, putting on a brave front, said, "I just want to learn!"

Gu Jiao looked at Mu Qingchen, who raised his eyebrows helplessly, indicating that he had no solution either.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Jiao said, "How about you watch me ride first?"

"Okay." Little County Princess got down from Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao asked the stablehand for an adult horse. She rode it around the field at a moderate pace, neither too fast nor too slow, so as not to scare the child.

Sure enough, seeing Gu Jiao's graceful and heroic appearance on horseback made the Little County Princess eager to try.

Mu Qingchen gave a signal to the stablehand.

The stablehand brought over the white pony.

Mu Qingchen lifted the Little County Princess up, "Little County Princess, give it a try."

"No, no, no!" Little County Princess dove headfirst into Mu Qingchen's arms.

Gu Jiao rode over and, with a swift grab, lifted the little one onto the horse.

"Ahh——"

Little County Princess flailed on the saddle!

The strong wind blew, puffing up her cheeks.

The children at home were all tough, including the few-month-old Gu Xiaobao. Gu Jiao lacked experience dealing with delicate little girls, and in the end, she successfully made the Little County Princess cry.

......

Leaving the grass field, Gu Jiao got into Mu Qingchen's carriage.

Little County Princess was crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath, and Mu Qingchen went to comfort her.

About a quarter of an hour later, Mu Qingchen returned to the carriage.

Gu Jiao wondered if she had failed the interview, as she hadn't expected the little girl to cry so easily.

"It seems I wasted your good intentions. Next time..."

"Little County Princess asked when you'll come next time."

Gu Jiao was surprised.

Mu Qingchen glanced at her, "You don't want to come?"

Gu Jiao replied, "No, it's just strange. She cried so much, why would she still want me to come?"

Mu Qingchen faintly smiled, "Little County Princess said, only you dare to put her on the horse. No one else dares. She said she would never learn to ride with anyone else, but with you, maybe she can."

Oh, a stubborn little crybaby.

Gu Jiao tilted her head and looked at Mu Qingchen. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Mu Qingchen was puzzled by her stare, "What's wrong?"

Gu Jiao asked, "Who is Little County Princess to you?"

Mu Qingchen replied, "Her father, Lord Yanshan, is a close friend of Duke An. He stayed at Duke An’s villa years ago and taught me how to play chess. He also taught Yinyin chess."

"Yinyin?" Gu Jiao paused, "Your childhood friend?"

“Yes." Mu Qingchen nodded.

This was the first time Mu Qingchen had mentioned his childhood friend's name.

Gu Jiao found the name strangely familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere before.

"Lord Yanshan is not at the residence these days. He's away on a trip." Mu Qingchen said, as if explaining why he hadn't taken Gu Jiao to meet Lord Yanshan.

Gu Jiao acknowledged with an "Oh."

She wasn't particularly concerned about that.

She was thinking about the name just now.

Yinyin.

Just hearing it made it linger in her mind.

The carriage left the mansion.

"Young Master, where are we going now? Back to the academy?" The coachman asked.

Mu Qingchen looked at Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao said, "Back to the academy."

She still wasn't willing to tell him her address.

Mu Qingchen didn't say anything.

The carriage headed back to Tianqiong Academy. When they came, they passed by the southern inner city gate, so they had to pass by it again on their way back.

Due to the heat, Gu Jiao kept the window open all along.

As they approached the city gate, a large procession of people appeared on the official road. Leading the group were a few officials on horseback, followed by a group of raggedly dressed men with their hands tied with ropes.

Gu Jiao had never been curious about official matters, but she glanced casually and unexpectedly caught sight of a familiar figure.

She quickly pushed the half-open window wide open!

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
