Chapter 157: 156: Horse picking at the racetrack. She likes the fiery ones. "..." Yu Zhi pressed her lips tightly together, lifted her head to glance at the man, and under the gaze of his smiling eyes, her face flushed red as she buried her head back down. She hesitated for a few seconds, her curled fingers moved slightly, and her voice was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz: "Only once." The man had been too relentless last night, and she didn’t want to stay awake until three or four in the morning again. "Okay, just once." Shi Wei’s throat moved slightly, his large hands wrapped around the girl tightened again as he started walking with clear delight. The black one-piece swimsuit and two robes were haphazardly tossed onto the coffee table and carpet in the bedroom. Lightly scented candles flickered in the breeze, casting overlapping shadows onto the wall. As the candles burned down and their light grew faint, the gentle breeze drifting from the double bed slowly subsided. ** The warm sunlight bathed the vast horse ranch, and the fresh smell of the green grass, washed clean by last night’s rain, wafted in the air. Several men and women stood by the stables, leaning against the white railing, watching the horses inside and observing their every movement. "Brother Fan, what do you think about that one?" Jin Yunzhi pointed at a horse—a slightly plump one with flowing black mane—that was staring directly at him. Xu Fan carefully compared its height and limbs with those of the other horses, then shook his head: "It’s not suitable for you. Keep looking." The muscles on this horse’s legs were too developed; one glance was enough to tell it ran very fast. For someone without experience in horse-riding, controlling it would be impossible. Jin Yunzhi pouted and pointed at the neighboring chestnut-colored horse: "How about that one?" "Also not suitable." "..." After Xu Fan rejected three horses in succession, Jin Yunzhi couldn’t help but feel irritated. He puffed out his cheeks, turned around, and upon spotting those familiar figures walking in their direction, immediately tossed aside Xu Fan and ran over without looking back. "Brother Wei, please help me pick a horse!" Jin Yunzhi huffed as he recounted all the previous events in an exaggerated manner. Shi Wei raised his brows and glanced at Xu Fan, who stood nearby with an expression of helplessness. His lips curved into a faint smirk: "He’s only trying to look out for you." The horses here were all high-quality breeds, but there were still some that hadn’t yet been tamed. If the wrong choice was made, accidents could easily occur. As an amateur, Jin Yunzhi naturally wouldn’t understand the intricacies of this, and the fault lay with Xu Fan for not explaining it to him properly. "But I don’t want to talk to him right now!" Jin Yunzhi, still angry, cared little about reason; he was entirely preoccupied with the repeated rejections from earlier. Shi Wei shook his head discreetly, shot a glance at Xu Fan lingering by the fence, then led the little girl beside him on toward the stables. "Zhizhi, have you ever ridden a horse before?" The man wrapped his arm around her waist, guiding her to a spotless white horse, with not a speck of discoloration on its body. The girl responded softly, briefly looking over the white horse before shifting her gaze indifferently. She surveyed the stables, glanced up at the man, and asked, "Is there nothing else?" Shi Wei’s eyes gleamed with intrigue. Standing behind her, he wrapped his arms around the little girl and leaned into her ear: "Zhizhi, what kind do you like?" "I like the wild ones." "Are you sure?" "Certainly." Yu Zhi stared at him seriously, showing no sign of joking. Her gentle yet clear voice lifted slightly: "Where’s the other stable?" "Baby, you’re so clever." Shi Wei chuckled lightly, the sound flowing like water past the stones, rippling into soft waves. He leaned in to kiss the girl’s cheek before leading her decisively to the stable behind the one they had just visited, housed within a wooden structure. Along the open corridor, six or seven higher dividers lined each side. As footsteps approached, a variety of horses poked their heads out of the small doors curiously. Yu Zhi had just stepped near the first stall when the chestnut-colored horse inside started violently kicking the wooden door. Its fierce gaze appeared to warn her that if she dared to touch it, it would break free and crush her. "Wild enough for you?" Shi Wei narrowed his eyes as he watched the girl, her calm demeanor unshaken by fear, and his pale lips curled softly. "Not bad, but it’s too ugly." Although she liked untamed ones, appearance was still part of the consideration. Most people judged a horse’s looks solely by its face, but in reality, factors like fur, limbs, and eyes were the true criteria. "Thump, thump, thump—" Perhaps the chestnut horse understood her insult, as it began kicking the door even harder, seemingly eager to escape and teach her a lesson! Its nostrils flared with anger, and Yu Zhi couldn’t help but laugh as she reached out impulsively to touch the tuft of hair on its forehead. "Thump, thump, thump—" The horse practically lost its mind after being touched, furiously stomping the door yet again. Insulting it was bad enough, but now she had the audacity to violate it! Outrageous! Yu Zhi had no intention of dealing with it further. She looped her arm through the man’s and moved on to the next stall. After examining every horse down the row and stirring some acrimony along the way, they stopped at the last stall, where a pitch-black horse awaited. Little Black stood tall, its legs and chest muscles strong and defined, and its long mane cascaded down its neck, exuding a sense of power and majesty. Unlike the others, when the girl approached, Little Black merely glanced at her dismissively before turning its head away, showing no hint of aggressive behavior. But the more detached and untamed a horse appeared, the harder it was to tame. "This one." Yu Zhi smiled with satisfaction. She was just about to reach out and touch its mane like she had with the previous horse, but Little Black quickly evaded her gesture. Shi Wei caught her hand mid-air, his elegant brows furrowed slightly: "Zhizhi, are you sure about this?" Despite her evident boldness and past experience with horse-riding, he still couldn’t help but worry. No one could predict whether something uncontrollable might happen once she was atop the horse. "Yes, I can handle it." The girl understood what he was worried about, but she had absolute confidence in herself. Yu Zhi wrapped her arms around the man’s waist, tiptoed, and planted a kiss on the corner of his lips, her tone softening: "Shi Wei, is it okay?" Her understated yet irresistible display of affection left Shi Wei no room to refuse. He even felt an urge to gather all the horses in the world and gift them to her. "Alright, I’ll have someone bring it out first." The man softly ran his fingers through her hair, his voice gentle enough to ensnare a person completely.
