1833 Planning To Lose At The Starting Line
Su Bei smiled and looked in Ji Rufeng’s direction. “Although today isn’t an official wedding, we can still have fun to our heart’s content, right, Rufeng?”
“Forget about drinking. Let’s just ride a horse!” Ji Rufeng said.
Previously, he had practiced riding a horse for a period drama. Later, he became obsessed with this and learned all kinds of horsemanship and riding skills. Now, he was one of the most skilled equestrians in the circle.
It was the best choice to take He Xuyan down a notch.
He Xuyan raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Okay!”
There were all kinds of horse races on the golf course, and the track was also complete.
When the owner heard that they were going to race, he was excited. He immediately sent all the horses over for them to choose from.
There were all kinds of horses here. Some of them had already been trained. They were very cooperative.
Some of them were very fierce. The owner pointed at a few and said, “It’s best not to choose these. These are retired racehorses. Although their combat strength isn’t as strong as back then, they’re still arrogant. It’s not easy for ordinary people to control them.”
Ji Rufeng was interested and immediately made the decision. “Then I’ll choose from these.”
He immediately chose the tallest one. Seeing that he was determined to choose from this batch of horses, the owner introduced, “Its name is Lie Huo. It’s especially impatient. You have to be careful.”
“I know.” Ji Rufeng nodded.
He had been practicing horse racing during this period of time and had made some achievements. He knew horses very well. He would just spend more time getting familiar with Lie Huo.
He Xuyan randomly chose one.
According to the owner, this horse’s name was Hong Yan. It was also a retired racehorse, but it was a mare.
Ji Rufeng raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Director He, a mare’s feet are not as strong as a stallion’s. Are you planning to lose at the starting line?”
95% of the racers were stallions, and only one percent of them were mares.
Ji Rufeng’s words were not wrong.
However, He Xuyan also replied indifferently, “Then do you know that the fastest horses usually appear in 1%?”
“Let’s see what happens after we take the stage!” Ji Rufeng stood up to change into his racing clothes.
He Xuyan followed.
Xu Zhiqin followed He Xuyan and said softly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know Ji Rufeng would be like this.”
“It’s fine.” He Xuyan smiled. “You’re so outstanding and beautiful. Isn’t it normal for others to like you?”
Xu Zhiqin blushed. “Why are you still teasing me?”
“However, even if someone else likes you, I’ll never agree to it.” He Xuyan was full of himself.
He would destroy anyone who made a move, including Ji Rufeng.
Xu Zhiqin smiled. “Be careful. It doesn’t matter whether you win or lose. Anyway, the person I like is you, not him.”
He Xuyan’s dark eyes lit up even more. As he was with Xu Zhiqin, he took a long time to put on the racing clothes. After a long time, he came out with the blushing Xu Zhiqin.
Ji Rufeng felt a little upset. He had been with the horse for half a day before He Xuyan came out. He didn’t know why He Xuyan was so clingy.
He Xuyan picked up the horsewhip and placed it in front of Xu Zhiqin. “Give me some good luck. I guarantee that I’ll beat him!”
Xu Zhiqin blew on it before He Xuyan walked toward his horse race.
Huo Zhong shook his head. “I don’t know what this couple is doing. Can they do something we can understand?”
“The horse race is about to begin. Let’s watch!” Lu Weijian said.
Even Da Bao and Gun Gun were attracted and sat beside Lu Heting to watch the competition.
Seeing the majestic horses, Gun Gun’s eyes widened. “Daddy, I want to learn this too!”
“Okay, I’ll go with you, then.”
Da Bao’s eyes were also burning. He had seen Feng Ze ride a horse before, and it was especially impressive. However, he was still too young at that time, so Su Bei did not let him learn it.
Seeing him like this, Lu Heting knew what he was thinking. He said, “Da Bao, you should accompany Gun Gun.”
Da Bao immediately nodded in agreement.
Lin Wenyu finally sat down quietly and said, “Sigh, Ji Rufeng will definitely lose this time.”
Yuan Haoyang smiled. “Why do you say that?”
“Isn’t it obvious? Look at my cousin’s professional posture. Ji Rufeng’s flowery appearance can’t compare to him.”
Yuan Haoyang was jealous. “Your cousin belongs to your cousin-in-law.”
“Yeah, could he be someone else’s?”
Yuan Haoyang knew that he was too jealous, so he stopped talking.
Yue Ze ran over and patted Ji Rufeng’s shoulder. “That’s enough. Do you know how much your contracts are worth now?”
“Got it. I won’t hurt myself. I’ll be careful.”
Seeing this, Yue Ze could only let him go.
Su Bei smiled. “Let him go. He’ll only grow up if he loses. Besides, he wants to repay Zhiqin for her kindness, not so much for love. If he loses, he’ll be enlightened.”
Yue Ze found it strange. Why did they all think that Ji Rufeng would lose?
Ji Rufeng had learned horse riding very well. Even Yue Ze had praised him.
The two of them got on the horse. Ji Rufeng’s movements were smooth and natural. As expected, he was extremely good-looking. He had learned the riding method and some true skills in the later stages, so his movements were really as good as those in television dramas. His action of getting on the horse won cheers from the surroundings.
As for He Xuyan, his movements were ordinary. After getting on the horse, he only urged it forward. His body was slightly prostrated. He was not much better-looking than Ji Rufeng, but he was much more stable.
Those who had ridden horses knew that He Xuyan was more professional. Ji Rufeng looked good for filming, but in terms of speed and skills, it still depended on professionalism.
Huo Zhong said, “There are a total of four laps. Ji Rufeng is in the lead for the first lap while He Xuyan is trailing behind. I wonder who will win.”
Lu Weijian took a sip of red wine. “Let’s wait and see which one among them will win!”
Gun Gun waved his little hands and jumped happily in the direction of the horses when they ran past. Gradually, the horses ran away. He could not see them anymore and clamored for a hug.
Lu Heting reached out and carried him on his shoulder.
Gun Gun looked up and shouted excitedly, “Uncle, you can do it! I see you!”
Lu Heting glanced at Da Bao and picked him up.
Although Da Bao was slightly taller than Gun Gun, he was still a child. When Da Bao was on Lu Heting’s shoulder, he pursed his lips and smiled shyly.
Ji Rufeng was very fast in the first two laps. Lie Huo was indeed as his name suggested. Like a ball of flames, he jumped very quickly and was far ahead.
He Xuyan, on the other hand, kept moving at a constant speed.
By the third round, He Xuyan’s Hong Yan slowly surpassed Lie Huo.
Ji Rufeng kept urging Lie Huo and waving the horsewhip, but Lie Huo had just exerted too much strength and was a little weak now. It could not catch up.
