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

Su Wuli bit her lip and remained silent, her face flushed with heat.

Yu Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, looking to be in a good mood.

He didn't press the matter further.

"Stand up straight, don't slouch," the man instructed in a deep voice.

His words seemed perfectly normal, but Su Wuli clearly saw a different meaning in his eyes.

But I had no choice but to adjust my posture.

Yu Chen rode on another horse and steered it closer.

Suddenly, he struck her waist with the tip of his riding crop, not too lightly, not too heavily.

"Notice."

That slight touch, even through the fabric, felt like an electric shock, making her waist go weak and almost causing her to cry out in surprise.

Su Wuli turned around abruptly to look at him, her eyes meeting his unfathomable depths.

There was a hint of playfulness in it.

She turned around hastily, staring ahead, and reflexively straightened her back.

"Yes," he said slowly.

The teasing tone in his voice became even more pronounced: "Squeeze tighter."

asshole.

Su Wuli cursed inwardly, her face burning red.

All I could do was desperately focus all my attention on controlling the horse.

Fortunately, Yu Chen only teased him for a while before getting serious.

Under her control, the black horse began to trot, becoming smoother and faster.

Yu Chen followed beside her, neither too close nor too far.

He ran several laps before signaling to stop.

Su Wuli pulled on the reins, sitting on the horse and breathing slightly, her back damp with sweat.

When I dismounted, my legs were so weak that I had to hold onto the saddle to stand up.

Yu Chen dismounted and casually hung up the reins.

I sat and rested for a while before I recovered.

Several worn-out archery targets stood at the edge of the training field. After finishing her water, Su Wuli's gaze unconsciously drifted over them.

"Want to try?" a man's voice rang out.

Su Wuli turned her head and saw that he had already brought out the bow and arrows and handed them to her.

She took it instinctively.

Yu Chen stood behind her, not completely pressed against her but very close.

He placed his hand on hers that held the bow, and his other hand on her left elbow.

"I've taught you that before," his voice said from above. "Relax your shoulders."

Feeling the heat emanating from his chest behind her, Su Wuli took a deep breath and softened her breathing.

"Look at the bullseye," he whispered, leading her to draw the bow.

"put."

The arrow left the bowstring and flew away.

With a "thud," it struck the target, just a little off the bullseye.

Yu Chen walked over and pulled out the arrow. "Continue."

This time, he did not step forward.

Su Wuli tried it a few more times herself.

The arrow either grazes the target or misses it entirely.

He stood beside her, and even without looking at Su Wuli, he could feel the man's gaze on her trembling wrist.

The pressure intensified, and she didn't dare look at Yu Chen's face.

After all, he had taught her many times, but she hadn't improved at all.

My palms were sweaty, and the bow was slippery to hold.

The more you try to hit the target, the less likely you are to succeed.

My forearm was sore and trembling; I knew it wouldn't work before the arrow even left my hand.

The thought of Yu Chen's angry face made her want to back away.

I was starting to have second thoughts.

Once she had this thought, she suddenly realized something.

It seems she's always said she wanted to learn archery, so maybe...

She then tentatively glanced at Yu Chen beside her.

But then he walked over and took the longbow from her hand.

Su Wuli thought she didn't need to practice anymore and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Yu Chen walked to the side and came back with another bow.

"Try this."

Su Wuli bit her lip and reluctantly took the bow, only to be surprised to find that it was much lighter than the previous one.

Yu Chen stopped standing and walked to the grassy slope next to him and sat down.

With my elbows resting on my bent knees, the pressure was reduced.

"Do it yourself," he said.

Su Wuli took a breath and faced the target again.

Nock the arrow and draw the bow.

The light bow definitely saved effort, and her arm was much more stable.

The line of sight is locked on the bullseye.

ejaculate.

The arrow whizzed and struck the target. Although it was still off-target, at least it hit the target firmly.

Her eyes lit up, and she gained some confidence.

He then drew out another one, adjusted his breathing, and recalled the key points he had mentioned earlier.

Shoot again.

One, two, three...

She didn't bother to wipe away the light sweat that beaded on her skin; her entire focus was on that little red heart.

Until the arrow was released.

The arrow shaft trembled slightly, and the arrowhead pierced the bullseye perfectly.

bingo!

A surge of immense joy welled up inside Su Wuli, and her eyes lit up instantly.

She instinctively gripped the bow and jumped a few times on the spot, a joyful smile spreading across her face.

I immediately turned to look at Yu Chen.

But as he jumped, his foot suddenly landed on a loose pebble.

She gasped in surprise, lost her balance instantly, and fell forward unexpectedly.

Her vision blurred, and her hands frantically tried to grab something.

His body lurched forward, and he fell uncontrollably, his legs instinctively spreading apart.

The bow slipped from his hand and fell onto the grassy slope beside him.

Everything happened so suddenly.

Su Wuli was stunned by the fall and instinctively hugged his neck.

My cheek bumped into his chest, and I could smell his familiar scent.

The man's chest trembled, and his body stiffened for a moment.

The air fell silent for a moment.

The only sounds were her own rapid heartbeat and the breathing coming from above her head.

Su Wuli raised her head slowly, her face full of embarrassment.

Yu Chen was knocked against the grassy slope by her.

One hand was still on her knee, while the other was resting on her waist.

Through the thin fabric, it was slightly fastened.

Yu Chen was looking down at her.

They were so close that Su Wuli could see his individual eyelashes clearly.

Something was surging within his deep eyes, carrying a chilling darkness.

His breath brushed against her forehead, a little heavy, a little hot.

Su Wuli froze, feeling as if all the blood had rushed to her face, and her ears were ringing.

She glanced down and thought, "This posture... is terrible."

She actually straddled Yu Chen's lap.

She could even feel the man's leg muscles pressed tightly against hers, and the warmth of his body transmitted through the fabric.

Su Wuli tried to climb off him, but her body wouldn't obey her commands, and her limbs went weak.

In her panic, the fingers that were resting on his shoulder unconsciously curled up and gripped the texture of his clothes.

The man's prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down in front of her.

The hand supporting her waist tightened its knuckles, though not with much force, but Su Wuli knew it wouldn't be easy to break free.

Yu Chen didn't speak, he just looked at her.

My gaze moved from her flushed face to her slightly parted lips, which were trembling with nervousness, and then further down.

Every movement of the gaze was extremely slow.

Su Wuli felt her scalp tingle under his gaze. She tried to look away, but it was as if she were nailed to the spot.

The air was so thick it seemed to have solidified.

Finally, Yu Chen slowly spoke, "So happy?"
