Chapter 297: Overflow

Because of Ji Buwang’s words, Mu Jingzhe wasn’t afraid anymore. Although she didn’t dare move too quickly, she experienced the joy of riding a horse. It was much better than the farms in scenic areas.

Meanwhile, Little Bei’s progress wasn’t bad either. Little Bei was smart and bold, and she was also quite athletic. With the help of the staff, she could slowly make the horse jog.

“Your progress is not bad. Come a few more times and you’ll get better at it. You’ll slowly be able to run independently.”

As they were having a good time, half a day passed without them realizing it. Soon, the sun set.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mu Jingzhe felt a little regretful, and so did Little Bei. “I haven’t ridden enough. I haven’t started running properly yet.”

Ji Buwang could sense their regret. “Then let me run two laps with you guys.”

Actually, he had been teaching Mu Jingzhe all day and couldn’t run properly either. It was the same for the white horse. They both really wanted to run, but they just endured it.

Since he was leading Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei and teaching them to run, Ji Buwang chose the white horse he was most familiar with. “I’ll run two laps first to make it happy. Then, I’ll bring you guys along.”

Ji Buwang ran two laps first, and the white horse was indeed happy. When it stopped, perhaps because it was also male, it sensed Ji Buwang’s desire for a mate and raised its front hooves high, making Ji Buwang look handsome.

Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei looked at Ji Buwang under the setting sun and once again felt the charm of Prince Charming. By the time he came back after the final lap, Little Bei was already clapping excitedly.

“Teacher Ji is amazing.”

“Impressive, right?” Ji Buwang rolled over and picked Little Bei up. “Then Teacher Ji will ride with you for two laps.”

Ji Buwang got on the horse, and the white horse quickly rushed out. Ji Buwang tilted his head and looked at Mu Jingzhe. “I’ll bring you later.”

Little Bei’s laughter rang out following that. After running two laps, she was still reluctant to part ways. “This is so much fun. This is great.”

She liked the feeling of racing like this.

“Although you’re very cute and likable, Little Bei, I’m still very principled. Two laps mean two laps. I’ll bring you here again. Now… I want to bring your mommy along.”

Ji Buwang got down first and carried Little Bei down. Little Bei chuckled. “I won’t fight with Mommy either.”

Ji Buwang looked at Mu Jingzhe and gestured. “Come here.”

To be honest, Mu Jingzhe was really tempted. However, she said, “I’m a very big person, and so are you. Will the horse be able to handle the weight?”

“The white horse will. It can carry all three of us.”

Ji Buwang reached out again. “Come.”

Mu Jingzhe got on the horse, and Ji Buwang quickly sat up. With a pull of the reins, the white horse immediately started running.

Mu Jingzhe exclaimed. Ji Buwang’s voice came from behind her. “Don’t be afraid.”

She sat in front of Ji Buwang, who was almost hugging her. To be honest, this was the first time they were so intimate.

Mu Jingzhe felt a little uncomfortable, but riding a horse was very stimulating. For a moment, her heart beat a little faster. At that moment, she suddenly felt Ji Buwang’s heartbeat. Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. It was like hers.

Mu Jingzhe didn’t know if it was the sound of horse hooves or if it was real, but she felt particularly excited for a moment.

Especially when they happened to run to the straight road of the racecourse, they encountered the setting sun. The setting sun was very red and was descending bit by bit. It was as if they were chasing after it.

The scene was astounding.

As they ran during the second lap, Mu Jingzhe watched half the sun set.

It was only then that Mu Jingzhe realized that it had been a long time since she had last seen the setting sun.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”

“Mm.”

“What are you thinking about?” Ji Buwang asked.

“Nothing.” After saying that, Mu Jingzhe saw Little Bei standing aside. She had run two laps. It was time for the ride to end.

Mu Jingzhe and Little Bei smiled and were prepared for Ji Buwang to stop. Little Bei also waved and called for her mother, preparing to welcome Mu Jingzhe.

In the end, Ji Buwang… didn’t stop. While Little Bei was waving at them in the background, he urged the horse again and ran away.

Little Bei was stunned as she watched Ji Buwang and Mu Jingzhe run away. “Didn’t you mention two laps? Didn’t you say two laps means two laps?”

As if in response to Little Bei’s words, a gust of wind blew, blowing some dust and fallen leaves toward Little Bei.

Little Bei coughed and quickly stepped back to cover her nose and mouth.

Little Bei was stunned, and so was Mu Jingzhe. She couldn’t help but tilt her head slightly and pat Ji Buwang’s hand. “Didn’t you say you’d run two laps? Why are you still running?”

Just now, Little Bei had waved at her to come over and welcome her.

“Running two laps and taking two steps is just a passing remark. It does not really mean two laps.” Ji Buwang was also glad to see Mu Jingzhe so happy. It wasn’t easy for him to find an opportunity, so he naturally made up an excuse. “It’s not dark yet. We can run two more laps.”

Ji Buwang kept his word. Hence, after the third lap, Little Bei felt that it was over for good. Just as she waited for them to stop again, Ji Buwang walked past her once more.

He said from afar, “Little Bei, wait a while.”

Little Bei: “…”

Mu Jingzhe: “…”

Upon seeing Little Bei’s expression, Mu Jingzhe was a little embarrassed. “It’s about time. Let’s stop. Little Bei is watching.”

“Alright.” Ji Buwang quickly agreed. “I just can’t bear to part ways with you.”

If possible, he’d really want this moment to last forever.

Under the circumstances, it was indeed quite tempting to hear such things on horseback. Mu Jingzhe was also a little tempted, but… it was only for a few seconds. A second later, Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but think of the romantic joke that most modern people knew about riding a horse: If you’re full, it means I poured too much.

Mu Jingzhe couldn’t help but think of this. Then, she started feeling embarrassed and unilaterally ruined the earlier good atmosphere.

All that was left in her mind was that image, and her mind was filled with laughter.

Ji Buwang suddenly realized that Mu Jingzhe was trembling. “What’s wrong?”

He thought that Mu Jingzhe was crying or something had happened, so he returned to the starting point and quickly got off the horse to look at her.

“What’s wrong, Jingzhe? Did you think of something, or are you feeling unwell?”

Little Bei had initially been afraid that she would be tricked again, so she hadn’t planned on coming over. Sensing that something was amiss, she quickly followed them.

When Mu Jingzhe raised her head, she saw that her face was red. She was suppressing her laughter.

“I’m fine. Hahaha, I just thought of something funny. Hahaha.”

It was unknown when the deviation had occurred, but many people remembered it as overflowing.

At the thought of this, Mu Jingzhe felt a little embarrassed to look at Ji Buwang. How could she think of such nonsense when Ji Buwang was such a Prince Charming?

After Mu Jingzhe got off the horse, she was ashamed yet she couldn’t help but laugh.

Little Bei was curious to know why Mu Jingzhe was smiling. Ji Buwang, who was beside her, was speechless.

“…”

The atmosphere had clearly been good previously, so why had Mu Jingzhe suddenly burst out laughing? Her outburst interrupted the feelings surging in his heart. He had wanted to say something nice.
