Chapter 77 He is So Handsome
Alexander casually strolled with Lillian in the garden. Lillian was surprised to see a variety of exotic flowers and plants. What surprised her even more was the presence of a deer park. A few small deer roamed freely and curiously stared at anyone passing by.
"They're so cute!" Lillian happily walked over and extended her hand to greet them, "Hello."
Alexander followed and reached out to touch the deer's head. He then said to Lillian, "You can also touch them. This one is named Diana."
"She's a girl," Lillian liked her and tentatively reached out to touch the deer's head.
The deer was gentle and didn't shy away, allowing Lillian to pet it.
"Why are you so well-behaved, Diana?" Lillian tilted her head and thought about hugging its neck and rubbing it.
Seeing Lillian behave like a child, Alexander chuckled and said, "Let's go. There are alpacas ahead. Do you want to see them?"
"Really? Adorable alpacas?" she exclaimed in joy, "That's great, I love alpacas!"
The deer beside Lillian seemed to understand her words. It gently bumped its head against her, seemingly expressing its displeasure for her liking other animals.
Alexander led her forward, and there were a few alpacas leisurely walking around.
"Look, that black one is so cute," Lillian laughed and walked over, asking Alexander, "Does it have a name?"
"It's called Black," Alexander reminded her, "Be careful. It might spit on you."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid!" Lillian fed the grass to the alpaca. "Look, it's quite obedient."
Alexander smiled, his hands in his pockets as he stood not far from Lillian, quietly observing her interact with the alpaca.
This young girl, without makeup and minimal jewelry, only wore a silver bracelet on her wrist that shimmered in the sunlight. Her bright, clever eyes seemed to contain a fire full of vitality. Her smile was radiant and innocent, making it impossible not to take a second look. It was the first time Alexander had seen her like this.
Alexander's impression of Lillian remained from the first time he saw her at the hotel - the depressed, resentful face, and fake appearance that he couldn't stand.
But now, as he looked at Lillian, it felt like he was meeting her for the first time. He studied her intently. Her eyes were clear and transparent, devoid of any hint of deceit. Her infectious smile made others want to smile along.
"Alexander, the llama just spat at me! More than once!" Lillian suddenly shouted at Alexander, running over to him.
"Do you have any tissues? Quickly!" Lillian asked him anxiously.
At that moment, a servant hurriedly arrived with wet tissues. Lillian took them and thanked the servant.
"I warned you to be careful, but you didn't listen," Alexander laughed and took the wet tissues from her hands to wipe her face.
"Ah, I can do it myself," Lillian didn't understand why Alexander took the initiative to wipe her face. She also recalled the damn kiss from last night, causing her face reddening with embarrassment.
Alexander also realized his actions and slightly moved away. What was he doing? Alexander furrowed his brows, feeling annoyed. He only had a slight change of opinion about Lillian. He shouldn't act like this!
Lillian finished wiping her face, holding the wet tissues lightly in her hand, and said, "Let's go."
"Alright," Alexander said expressionlessly and walked forward.
They casually walked around a few more places before finally stopping in front of a lotus pond. Lillian took a selfie with her phone while Alexander answered a phone call. After a brief exchange, he hung up.
"Are you done taking pictures? We should head to the polo field," Alexander came over and asked.
In fact, when Lillian saw him approaching, she had already put her phone away and said, "Okay, let's go."
A servant arrived on a scooter to pick them up. As they sat on the scooter, a cool breeze brushed past them, and they remained silent.
The polo field was already bustling, with people swinging mallets to play polo.
Alexander's cousin saw Alexander and Lillian and walked over, greeting, "Alexander, you're late. The competition has already started."
"No rush. Let the younger siblings play first." Alexander naturally held Lillian's hand and said, "You guys go ahead. Lily and I will go lead Benjamin."
Lillian asked curiously, "Is Benjamin your horse?"
"Yes," Alexander replied.
Lillian followed him, her hand released in a place where no one was around. She could never imagine what life was like for rich people.
When Benjamin saw Alexander, its front hooves kept drumming excitedly, and it snorted. Alexander hadn't seen Benjamin for a while, but seeing that it was in good spirits, he happily touched its forehead and gently asked, "My old pal, how have you been lately?"
They say animals are humans' friends. After watching Alexander and Benjamin, Lillian finally understood this phrase.
"Can I touch it?" Lillian really wanted to touch Benjamin, so she walked forward and asked softly.
"Come on. You can talk to it first. I'll go change clothes," Alexander said and left.
When unfamiliar hands touched Benjamin, its head shook uncomfortably a few times, scaring Lillian, who quickly withdrew her hand.
"Hello Benjamin, I'm Lillian. Your fur is so black and shiny, and you look so strong, really beautiful!" Lillian generously praised Benjamin.
Benjamin slightly lowered its head and shook it, then made another snort.
‘What does it feel like to ride a horse?’ Lillian caressed Benjamin's mane while fantasizing. ‘It must feel bumpy but also very exciting when it runs. Galloping on the vast grassland would be very cool!’
"What are you thinking about?" Alexander walked over and saw her daydreaming.
Lillian turned to look at him, but her eyes widened in surprise. She managed to control herself from exclaiming "Wow," but she still marveled to herself, "He looks so handsome in riding attire!"
Alexander, who looked tall and handsome, wore white riding pants and a black top. He glanced at Lillian's dazed expression, grabbed the reins, and swiftly mounted the horse.
'Wow!' Lillian exclaimed in her mind, 'So handsome!'
Alexander looked down at Lillian from above and said, "I'll ride over. You can walk back slowly."
"Oh," Lillian watched as he urged the horse to gallop away.
She felt a bit envious but could only rely on her legs to walk back to the polo field.
On the seats by the field, some female companions had already arrived. Lillian walked over towards them.
"Lillian, when did you and Alexander arrive?" Leah warmly reached out her hand and smiled at her.
Lillian smiled and replied, "We just got here a little while ago. Did you see Alexander? Did he enter the field?"
Leah jokingly said, "He loves playing polo so much. How could he resist? He ran onto the field a long time ago!"
Lillian looked towards the polo field and saw Alexander's agile figure amidst the dust and smoke, resembling a god of war.
