"Big horse! Nuannuan is here to give you a bath!"
Nuannuan, carrying an empty small bucket and wearing a yellow waterproof suit (the kind worn for fishing), toddled over.
The "big horses" Nuannuan mentioned were currently standing in the stable, leisurely munching on fodder and flicking their tails.
"Wow, these horses are nice, they have good physiques."
Zhuo Fan stood in front of the stable, his eyes full of admiration as he couldn't help but gaze at the fine horses before him.
"Pfft~ What do you mean 'good physiques'? Are you looking at a beautiful woman?" Fang Zhongwen burst out laughing.
"Heh heh, I just couldn't think of any other adjectives!" Zhuo Fan chuckled awkwardly, stepping forward to stroke a horse's nose, clearly smitten.
"Brother Zhuo means they have good build, right?" Ye Jingxing chimed in, explaining for Zhuo Fan.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhuo Fan nodded frantically.
"Big Black~ Nuannuan is here!" Nuannuan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she trotted over to a pure black horse.
Big Black was stunning, completely black with not a single speck of impurity, its coat lustrous. Its tall frame, long neck, and flowing mane and tail all showcased its magnificence.
"Master, does this black horse have a name?"
Ye Jingxing looked at the nearby groom, finding it hard to accept such a majestic horse having such a name.
"Big Black Duck~" Nuannuan blinked in confusion, looking at Ye Jingxing.
"Yes, it's called 'Jingang'!" the groom said with a Henan accent.
"..." It was indeed quite imposing.
[Hahaha~ I already found the name a bit funny, but when the groom said it like that, I burst out laughing.]
[It would have been better if it was called Big Black!]
[I want to ask Brother Zhuo who has good physiques? (picks nose)]
[Horse: What are you talking about! I'm majestic and imposing, you uncultured swine!]
[Nearby horses: Exactly, ignorance is bliss, but scary!]
[Hehehehe~ The bullet comments are all drama queens.]
Jingang saw the little dumpling before it and lowered its head, snorting gently. It probably intended to lower its head to nuzzle Nuannuan, but the little dumpling was too short, and the horse's nose missed.
One small, one large, one person, one horse, one wanting to lower its head to nuzzle, the other wanting to reach out to pat its head. At this moment, a vast distance lay between them, as if separated by the Milky Way, gazing at each other from afar but unable to touch.
Ye Jingxing watched the amusing scene for a while before walking up and lifting Nuannuan to Jingang's front. The horse finally got its wish, nuzzling the little bundle of joy, and Nuannuan happily hugged its head.
"Today our task is to wash the horses. Everyone, grab your tools and let's begin."
It was their first time washing horses, and everyone was full of curiosity. Several children looked at the majestic horses from all sides.
"Dad, I want to ride a horse, this is too cool!" Fang Lei was incredibly excited.
"Heh~ You're dreaming. Can you even get on it? I'll just watch," Fang Zhongwen said, crossing his arms and looking at his son with amusement.
"Dad, if you keep this up, I won't sign for you when you're old," Fang Lei said indignantly.
"Oh, you can just pull the plug then!" Fang Zhongwen replied nonchalantly.
[Hahaha! Draw your sword, son!]
[Fang Lei: It's either me dying today or you dying tomorrow.]
[Anyone want to ship this father-son duo who love to fight and love each other?]
[Count me in (raises hand)]
Brushing the horses required specialized large brushes. Nuannuan was too small to handle one. To include her, Ye Jingxing specifically asked for a toothbrush for her.
Nuannuan happily brushed Jingang's fur with the small toothbrush. Even though her technique was clumsy and she poked it occasionally, Jingang indulged her affectionately and leisurely flicked its tail.
[Twenty minutes have passed, and Nuannuan is still brushing that one leg.]
[And it's the same side, not changed.]
[I think Jingang is going to go bald.]
[Sisters, are there any fans of the Nuannuan-Jingang CP? Jingang is so doting on Nuannuan!]
[That moment when they looked at each other just now, I shipped it. I'm so sorry, I'm shipping human-animal, I'm a sinner.]
"Big Black is so pretty~" Nuannuan looked at Jingang, who had finished its bath, with even more affection.
Jingang proudly flicked its neck, tilted its head back, and neighed, seeming to strongly agree with Nuannuan's assessment.
Seeing Nuannuan's delight, Ye Jingxing lifted her onto Jingang's back, his hands still loosely cradling Nuannuan's body.
Nuannuan naturally grabbed its mane. Jingang lifted a hoof, perhaps feeling that the light little dumpling on its back was not as heavy as its usual saddle, and carefully walked a few steps around Ye Jingxing.
Nuannuan, however, was very excited, gripping the mane with her little hands and leaning on the horse's neck, laughing happily.
"Big Black is so great~ Giddy up~"
"Nuannuan, is it fun?"
Ye Jingxing kept his hands extended, maintaining a protective embrace around Nuannuan, not showing any sign of fatigue.
"It's fun~ Hahahaha~"
As if sensing the joy of the person on its back, Jingang snorted in response. It was just that Ye Jingxing had to keep walking in circles in place.
Before the program ended, everyone also visited the souvenir shop within the villa. It had many gifts and small souvenirs for sale.
Nuannuan took a liking to a keychain that allowed custom engraving and picture printing according to the customer's request.
"For Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa, Big Uncle and Big Aunt, Third Uncle, Youngest Uncle, and my brothers, and Grandpa Li and Grandma Wu."
Nuannuan leaned on the counter, counting on her fingers how many she needed to buy. As she ran out of fingers, she started counting on Ye Jingxing's.
"Nuannuan, did you forget Fourth Uncle?" Ye Jingxing asked, feigning sadness.
"Oh my~ Fourth Uncle, aren't you right here?" Nuannuan asked with a puzzled look.
"But Fourth Uncle also wants a gift from Nuannuan!"
"Okay, then Nuannuan will give Fourth Uncle one too." Nuannuan acted as if she had no choice.
Finally, Nuannuan had Ye Jingxing take many photos of herself to be printed on the keychains, each with the inscription "Nuannuan loves you!"
Nuannuan carefully took out one keychain and put it away. It was a photo of Nuannuan pouting at the camera, asking for a kiss, and Ye Jingxing was immediately rejected when he wanted it.
"This is Daddy's!" Nuannuan said protectively, not letting him have it.
"You little biased thing!"
Ye Jingxing squeezed Nuannuan's little nose in exasperation. In the end, he had to settle for the keychain with Nuannuan making a heart shape. At least he was the second choice, and he had to hide it well.
