Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Xie Chengyin immediately became interested, "Fragrance?"

He had known Yan Ci for a long time and knew that Yan Ci didn't like makeup and incense. He had never seen her wearing even a sachet on her body, so how could she have such a good fragrance?

Xiao Lizi nodded seriously, "Yes, that sister smells like osmanthus cake, so fragrant."

As he spoke, there was a fascinated expression on his face, and it seemed that he was not talking about the fragrance on his body, but the pastries that made him salivate.

Xie Chengyin knocked his head against Xiao Lizi's round forehead, "I think you are craving for osmanthus cake."

Xiao Lizi smiled even more happily, his eyes sparkling. When he met Xie Chengyin's insightful gaze, he lowered his head a little embarrassedly, with the expectation in his eyes not concealed at all.

"Sir, you already know everything, so can you treat me to some sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

Xie Chengyin looked at the sky outside, stood up and walked out, "Okay, when this matter is done, I'll treat you to a good meal."

"Great! In addition to osmanthus cake, I also want chestnut cake, red bean cake, hibiscus cake..."

Xie Chengyin walked out of the study room with brisk steps, and the little tail following closely behind him counted on his fingers and listed the cakes that he had been thinking about for a long time.

While waiting for the young master to reward him, he wanted to taste every kind of cake.

When Yan Ci received the message from Qi Cun, he began to pack some of his personal belongings, put them into a small bag and put it aside in preparation.

When Chunzhi came back after preparing lunch, she saw Yan Ci, who had changed his clothes and was sitting in front of the dressing table tying his hair.

"Girl, what are you doing? Why are you dressed like this?"

Chunzhi put the food on the round table and looked towards Yan Ci.

I saw that Yan Ci, who had her back to me, had taken off all the jewelry on her head and her hair was loose. She had simply groomed her waist-length hair and tied it into a ponytail at the back of her head.

She picked out the simplest and plainest hairpin from her makeup box and pinned it in her hair before she stood up.

Yan Ci walked to the long mirror and looked at the person reflected in it. She looked tall and graceful in a black men's suit. She removed her feminine makeup and hair bun and replaced it with a man's hair bun. Her fair little face looked much more heroic.

At this moment, Yan Ci seemed to see his former self, majestic in armor, with a defiant look in his eyes full of arrogance that looked down on everything.

It was just a trance, and Yan Ci came back to her senses from the mirror. She turned around from the mirror with satisfaction and looked at Chunzhi, and asked: "What do you think?"

Chunzhi came over and stood beside Yan Ci, looking at Yan Ci who looked like a man except for his height, and said, "You look good, but why are you dressed like a man, young lady?"

"I'm going to a poetry reading with my second brother, but it's not convenient to wear women's clothes, so I'm dressed like this."

This was the excuse Yan Ci had thought of in advance. She had calculated that the trip would take at least one or two days, but in order not to arouse suspicion in the Yan residence, she had to have a good excuse, so Yan Cheng became her cover.

In fact, Yan Cheng had been bribed by Xie Chengyin with two paintings by the Soul Painter.

As soon as Yan Ci finished packing, Yan Cheng entered Liufang Courtyard and started shouting from a distance, "Thirteenth sister, are you ready? We are leaving."

Yan Ci picked up the small bag beside him and told Chunzhi, "Liufangyuan is now in your hands."

Chunzhi looked at the food already on the table and said, "Miss, you haven't eaten yet."

"It's okay, you eat, my second brother and I will eat outside."

After leaving Yan Mansion with Yan Cheng, the two separated. One ran quickly to Songyaji to see the paintings he had been thinking about day and night, while the other went out and walked for a distance before turning into an alley.

And in the alley, she saw the person waiting for her.

Xie Chengyin was not wearing his rich and gorgeous clothes. He was wearing plain clothes and standing in the alley, looking towards the alley entrance from time to time.

Next to him was Qicun, who was leading the horse.

As the agreed time was approaching and there was still no sign of Yan Ci, Xie Chengyin became a little anxious.

Xie Chengyin kicked the stones under his feet and looked towards the empty alley again.

"Why haven't you come yet? Did you get the time wrong?"

Qicun stroked the horse's brown fur calmly and said without a smile, "I was talking about the 15th hour."

Xie Chengyin lowered his head, walked back and forth in the alley for two steps, and asked again, "Have you made it clear where to go? Yan Shisan is a bit directionally challenged, he won't go the wrong way, will he?"

Qicun looked at the alley that could be seen to the end at a glance. In such an alley, Miss Yan could see them immediately as long as she turned into it. She was not blind even though she was directionally challenged.

Qicun was complaining in his heart when he heard a clear voice.

"You guys really know how to find a place. It's so far, I'm really exhausted."

Xie Chengyin turned around and looked at Yan Ci, who was dressed in men's clothes, walking towards him. He suppressed the amazement in his eyes and said calmly, "It's only a cup of tea from here to the Yan Mansion. You can't even walk such a short distance?"

"A cup of tea is as long as riding a horse, and it takes about a stick of incense to walk here. Besides, the alleys here are interconnected, so it's more tiring to walk."

As Yan Ci spoke, he looked behind Xie Chengyin and saw two horses of the same color and size behind Xie Chengyin.

Yan Ci was stunned, "Are you planning to let me run there?"

There was no horse prepared for her.

Xie Chengyin's face froze slightly. He didn't expect Yan Ci to wear men's clothes. Considering that it was not very convenient for a girl like her to ride a horse alone, he specially prepared to take her on a ride to accommodate her.

As a result, she was dressed so smartly, obviously she was fully prepared.

But now there was obviously no time to prepare the horses.

Xie Chengyin took the reins from Qicun, jumped onto the horse swiftly, rode the horse forward two steps to Yan Ci's side, and stretched out his hand to Yan Ci.

"Come up."

Yan Ci was surprised, "We can ride on the same horse?"

Xie Chengyin took his hand back and turned to look at Qicun, "If you don't want to ride with me, you can ride with Qicun."

Qi Cun, who was called, got on the horse without hesitation and said quickly, "Sir, I will go first."

Asking him to ride on the same horse with Miss Yan, what a joke! He is not the kind of person who would think his life is too long. The look in his master's eyes is enough to cut through iron like mud.

Yan Ci looked at Qi Cun who rode away in a cloud of dust, then looked at Xie Chengyin, and could only pull Xie Chengyin's trouser leg and said, "Pull me up."

Xie Chengyin leaned forward slightly, stretched out his long arm and grabbed Yan Ci's belt, and with just a slight lift, Yan Ci was already sitting in front of Xie Chengyin.

He tightened the reins and lightly squeezed the horse's belly. The horse neighed, kicked up its four hooves and ran out of the alley.

Yan Ci sat in front of Xie Chengyin, just wrapped around by Xie Chengyin's arms holding the reins, and that fresh smell lingered in her nose again.
