Kyoto kisses her

Chapter 101 You've kissed me so many times, are you poisoned?

People can actually laugh when they're speechless.

For example, Su Ruoyun now.

Her eyes widened, she twitched her lips, and her voice was filled with disbelief, "It was definitely you..."

"Did anyone see it?" Huo Jingcheng deliberately interrupted her, the whip in his hand striking the railing behind him with a crisp sound.

"I--"

Su Ruoyun ignored him and stormed off.

The next time she saw Huo Jingcheng was when she had changed into her gear and was about to ride a horse.

Su Ruoyun and Li Li followed behind a coach. Given the lingering trauma of their previous horseback riding accident, Su Ruoyun did not rush into the racecourse, while Li Li followed the coach step by step into the racecourse.

The racecourse was cleared out today, and at this moment, only Li Li, a few coaches and keepers were in the racecourse.

Su Ruoyun walked to the rest area and sat down on a bench. Her eyes met Huo Jingcheng's the moment she did.

One staff member at the racecourse held up a parasol, while another carried a moon-shaped chair. This setup was comparable to the ceremonial procession of an ancient emperor. The parasol resembled a canopy, and the moon-shaped chair was like a royal carriage. They were placed openly next to the racecourse.

Huo Jingcheng stood to the side with his arms crossed, his arrogance making it seem as if he wanted everyone to know who owned this luxurious land.

Su Ruoyun calmly withdrew her gaze, glanced back at her seat, and sat down on the wooden bench. Because it was too sunny, she was wearing a baseball cap today, which came in handy at this moment, as the brim covered most of her face, leaving only a small, delicate chin visible.

Huo Jingcheng also sat down to the side.

Whether it was because of what happened not long ago that he became more obedient, or because he had something to do, he held his phone in one hand, staring down at the screen, seemingly looking at something.

Su Ruoyun watched Li Li ride his horse intently.

At first, everything went smoothly. Li Li easily mounted the horse and picked up the reins. Having previous riding experience, she was not timid or hesitant like a beginner and was quite bold.

After the trainers and instructors re-inspected the saddle and other equipment to make sure everything was in order, Li Li suggested that he try running a lap by himself.

Because of her experience, and because the people who came to the racecourse were all wealthy and influential, the coach did not refuse her.

Just as she was about to urge the horse on, the usually docile and quiet white horse suddenly neighed. The coach immediately realized something was wrong and rushed forward to pull on the reins.

However, the horse had already run off.

Li Li tried to control the little white horse, but unfortunately, none of the methods she used to calm it down—pulling the reins, soothing it gently—worked.

Seeing the white horse galloping wildly toward the high platform in the racecourse, with no way to avoid it, she steeled her heart, aimed at a grassy spot, and simply jumped off the horse, prepared to fall to the ground.

In an instant, the world spun around her, but the excruciating pain she had imagined did not come.

In a flash, instead of collapsing to the ground in a disheveled state, she fell headfirst into a warm and firm embrace, the warmth and strength instantly enveloping her.

Li Li's heart was racing, not only because he had just experienced a sudden incident, but also because of the warm embrace behind him.

She opened her eyes in shock, a thick shadow looming over her, and the bright red and green shirt caught her eye out of the corner of her eye.

……

Meanwhile, two people were watching a scene that looked like something out of a novel.

Huo Jingcheng narrowed his eyes slightly, squeezed out a few words, and said in a leisurely tone, "Old-fashioned." It was unclear whether he meant the plot was old-fashioned, or something else...

Upon hearing this, Su Ruoyun turned to look at him. After staring at him for a moment, Huo Jingcheng noticed her gaze and looked at her. The two looked at each other for a while.

Suddenly, Su Ruoyun blurted out, "Aren't you going to poison yourself if you're thirsty in the middle of the night?"

Is that arsenic on his lips? It's so poisonous.

Huo Jingcheng raised an eyebrow. "You've kissed me so many times, are you poisoned?"

"..." Su Ruoyun.

She unconsciously glanced at the staff around her and saw that they were all looking down, which made her feel a little relieved.

However, Su Ruoyun glared at the guy in front of her and turned her gaze back to the racetrack.

Li Li has been helped up.

Seeing her fall, Su Ruoyun was also shaken. She had fallen off a horse before and had become hesitant to ride since. This time, she had finally mustered the courage, only to have this happen again.

This instantly shattered her already meager confidence.

Su Ruoyun had already backed out and didn't plan to ride a horse anymore.

Huo Jingcheng keenly sensed the timidity in her heart, raised his hand to beckon the coach who was respectfully waiting to the side, and whispered a few words of advice. The coach understood and nodded.

After waiting for a while, the coach led a chestnut Akhal-Teke horse out of the stable. It was the same horse that Huo Jingcheng had ridden not long ago. He walked over with the reins in hand, and the Akhal-Teke horse beside him strutted around with its head held high, its hooves kicking up dust. In no time, they arrived in front of Huo Jingcheng and Su Ruoyun.

Its crimson fur gleamed in the sunlight. It was handsome and had a graceful physique. Huo Jingcheng reached out and stroked its mane. The Akhal-Teke horse excitedly reared up and snorted.

Su Ruoyun thought Huo Jingcheng was going to ride a horse again, so she stepped aside to avoid him.

Huo Jingcheng noticed her subtle movements. "Aren't you going to ride a horse?"

Su Ruoyun didn't quite understand what he meant. She looked up, her head glaring against the bright sunlight, and glanced at Huo Jingcheng, then at the Akhal-Teke horse beside him.

"What do you mean?"

“It means riding a horse.” A lazy male voice reached her ears.

Huo Jingcheng didn't let the coach come along; he took the reins himself and led the horse into the racecourse.

Su Ruoyun frowned, realizing that Huo Jingcheng meant to take her horseback riding, and followed him step by step.

Happy Valley was now deserted. Li Li had gone to get her medicine because of her injury.

Standing beside the tall Akhal-Teke horse, Su Ruoyun couldn't help feeling nervous, but when she met its innocent and clear eyes, she smiled slightly.

Su Ruoyun carefully raised her hand and stroked its head. After making sure the horse did not show any displeasure, she became bolder and stroked its back.

After a friendly exchange with the horse, she regained her confidence, gently patted the horse's glossy back, and prepared to mount it.

Noticing that Huo Jingcheng seemed about to reach out to help her, Su Ruoyun turned to look at him, meeting his gaze directly.

"I want to ride it myself."

Huo Jingcheng silently met her beautiful eyes. Their gazes met in mid-air. He saw Su Ruoyun's persistence. He did not refuse or say anything more. He simply and neatly withdrew his hand, took a small step back to make room, and replied with "Okay".
