My anime girlfriend has come into my life

Heinrich paused for a moment, then scratched his head, suddenly realizing why he couldn't find the horse he wanted.

Because this world is just an ordinary world, the horses bred here can't compare to the horses in their port, even if the horses in their port are only used for entertainment.

“That’s right, Heinrich. This isn’t a port area; there aren’t any horses like Black Cloud Treading Snow Claw Yellow Flying Lightning here.”

"Just pick one, it's not the point of riding a horse anyway."

Zhao and Yingrui, who had already chosen a black and a brown mare, chimed in, saying that there were quite a few entertainment activities in the port area. Usually, if they wanted to apply for any kind of activity, the commander would approve a large sum of money for them.

Not to mention the various faction celebrations, Donghuang once held a large garden event. Even if they occasionally come up with some whimsical ideas to get everyone involved, the commander will give them strong support.

"Alright, Commander, shall we ride together?"

Heinrich touched his head and looked at Li Chaoge.

Because she couldn't find a horse tall and strong enough, she felt that the two of them riding together wouldn't be able to go very fast.

"Heinrich, you go play with Isabella and the others first."

Li Chaoge looked at Isabella, who was explaining riding techniques to Qingge, and smiled at Heinrich.

"You two can have a race to see who's faster, but be careful and don't let them get hurt."

Heinrich and Isabella had gotten along well before, and he guessed that Heinrich wanted to find a stronger horse so that it could race against Isabella; otherwise, Heinrich wouldn't have cared about the horse's strength at all.

Normal people ride horses because they can't run that fast and want to enjoy the feeling of galloping on horseback, but Heinrich was much faster than a horse, and if he really wanted to go fast, he could run on his own.

"Okay! Commander, I'm going to play now. We'll have a competition together later!"

Seeing this, Heinrich nodded vigorously and excitedly went to play with Isabella.

She did want to play with Isabella. On one hand, Isabella's personality suited her, and on the other hand, Belfast and the others didn't object. They even suggested that she ask Isabella what she thought of the Commander.

Since they might become comrades in the future, she treated Isabella very well and wanted to compete with Isabella, who claimed she could ride a horse, without relying on the power of a ship girl.

Without Heinrich's interference, Li Chaoge casually picked a pure white mare. The mare didn't look particularly tall, but she was quite pretty.

"So, who has time to teach me how to ride a horse?"

After choosing his horse, Li Chaoge looked at the others beside him, including Ayaka Kamisato, Mei Miyu, and Shirogane, who had also chosen their horses but hadn't ridden away, and asked them with a smile.

Because of their family circumstances, neither he nor Qingge knew how to ride a horse, but he wasn't worried at all, as someone would definitely come and teach him.

However, those who want to move freely together after activating time stop need to establish a connection with the Source Cube. Therefore, when riding a horse, he cannot activate time stop to give each person a separate riding lesson; he can only find someone to teach him to ride.

After all, he just likes animal-eared girls, not Fury-con.

Chapter 233. Entering the World of Xi's Painting

Who will teach Li Chaoge to ride a horse?

This question is almost equivalent to asking who wants to ride a horse with Li Chaoge.

Ayaka Kamisato, Mei Raiden, and the others exchanged glances but did not take immediate action.

Because of Li Chaoge's time-stopping ability, to enter time-stop together, you need to establish a connection with the Source Cube and become "a whole". Therefore, if you want to ride a horse, you cannot enter time-stop, and the horse will also be frozen in time-stop.

Therefore, out of so many people, there is only one chance to play with Li Chaoge.

Of course, that's not the point. The point is that they know there's not much fun on horseback.

Anyone with horseback riding experience knows that nothing can happen on horseback; even just riding together requires good technique to ride comfortably.

"Since none of you are speaking, I will teach you."

Hearing the voice that came from among them, Li Chaoge couldn't help but be stunned.

Because this sound is platinum.

Why is Platinum, that lazybones, being so proactive today?

"What, am I not good enough?"

Seeing Li Chaoge standing there motionless and silent, Bai Jin walked up to him, crossed his arms, and stared at him intently.

Platinum is currently wearing an outfit similar to the combat uniform in Arknights, with her long hair tied in a ponytail, and her fair and straight legs are particularly dazzling in the warm sunlight.

"Of course not, it was just an accident."

Li Chaoge shook his head and smiled as he looked at Bai Jin's calm expression.

Do you really want to ride a horse?

Although Platinum is a beast-eared girl and not a horse spirit, it doesn't stop him from thinking about Machima.

"Get on your horse."

Bai Jin didn't explain why he took the initiative. He simply stepped on the stirrups and jumped onto the saddle, gesturing with his lips to Li Chaoge to mount the horse and sit behind him.

"Then I'll go horseback riding with Platinum first, and everyone else can go off and have fun separately."

Li Chaoge shook his head helplessly, said something to Ayaka Kamisato, Mei Raiden, and Theresa before he, like Platinum, stepped onto the stirrups and sat down behind her.

Although he had never ridden a horse himself, he had seen it many times on television. With his current physical condition, he could easily mount a horse without stirrups or a saddle.

"gone."

Feeling Li Chaoge's hands on her waist, Bai Jin flicked the reins, and the white horse beneath her began to run.

"Platinum, are you really that brave? Theresa was in that group just now."

Li Chaoge held Bai Jin's slender waist, enjoying the refreshing breeze on the grass while looking at Bai Jin's calm and pretty face, and said with great surprise.

Leaving aside Ayaka Kamisato and Raiden Mei, they are not from the same world or system as Platinum.

However, Platinum is an operator of Rhodes Island, while Theresa is the highest leader of Rhodes Island and the top superior that Platinum can contact at any time.

It's really strange that Bai Jin, this slacker, isn't afraid of offending his boss.

"Tch, they're all eyeing you. I'll just flatter you."

Bai Jin seemed quite disdainful, pursing his lips as he led Li Chaoge to a less crowded area.

Theresa is indeed the nominal master of Rhodes Island, and even the Doctor has to listen to her.

But in reality, Rhodes Island is no longer the Rhodes Island it used to be.

The Doctor already had a high reputation on Rhodes Island back then, and later he surpassed everyone else. Even Kal'tsit and Theresa combined couldn't shake the Doctor's prestige.

Of course, even if that weren't the case, there's nothing wrong with what she did.

Theresa isn't the petty type like Kal'tsit. She stepped in and took the Doctor away, saving Theresa from having to fight with those people.

"So you call this pandering?"

Li Chaoge raised an eyebrow, feeling that Bai Jin didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "flattery".

"Do you expect me to fawn over you here?"

But Platinum immediately countered with a question.

“…” Li Chaoge.

Are we talking about the same thing—pleasing others? Has this Platinum guy been watching something that's affecting his brain lately?

"So what's the real reason you want to ride horses with me?"

After a moment of silence, Li Chaoge watched as Bai Jin rode further and further away, with hardly any other companions around, and couldn't help but ask again.

So far, Platinum has only expressed her intention to ride horses with him; nothing else has been revealed.

"The real intention? Riding a horse with you is the real intention."

Bai Jin refused to answer the question and then ran even further away with Li Chaoge.

"You're not planning to kidnap me, are you?"

Li Chaoge looked around speechlessly and found that there was no one around. This horse farm was indeed quite nice and large enough. With dozens of them scattered around, the horse farm seemed particularly empty.

Why did Platinum deliberately take him to a quiet, deserted place?

If you speak to him politely, he might cooperate more readily. Why does he seem so determined to force you?

"Whoa..."

Soon, Platinum brought the horse to a stop and looked up at the sky.

Li Chaoge put his arm around her from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and looked up at the blue sky.

After a long while, he whispered in Platinum's ear:

"What are you thinking? Just say it directly. Why are you being so secretive with me?"

“I told you, I don’t have any problems.”

Bai Jin sighed, withdrew his gaze from the sky, and turned to look at Li Chaoge with a serious expression.

"So what are you trying to do today, acting like Kal'tsit the riddle master?"

Li Chaoge was speechless. "Did you become a riddle solver after learning from Kal'tsit?"

“That does have something to do with Kal'tsit.” Platinum nodded at this moment, “I have a feeling that Kal'tsit will be here soon.”

"Why? You still believe in your own self-awareness?"

"Because Theresa is here."

Platinum pursed her lips and explained to Li Chaoge how good the relationship was between Kal'tsit and Theresa.

Now that Theresa is here, we'll definitely have to prepare to include Kal'tsit in the next Arknights summon.

Among the operators who have arrived so far, many have a good relationship with the Doctor. Exusiai is the first among them to come here. Bagpipe cooks for the Doctor every day and they have a very good relationship. As for the two sisters, they need no introduction. The two sisters have a great time playing with the Doctor.

However, no matter how much fun they had with the Doctor, it couldn't compare to Kal'tsit.

If everyone else is at the level of a girlfriend, then Kal'tsit is at the level of a wife, albeit an ex-wife.

"Your concern about Kal'tsit coming has nothing to do with taking me to a remote place."

Li Chaoge pinched Bai Jin's cheek hard and glared at her fiercely.

"Once Kal'tsit arrives, I won't be as free."

Bai Jin remained calm and composed, showing no sign of anxiety, and didn't react at all even when Li Chaoge was playing with her face.

"So you want to cause some trouble before Kal'tsit arrives?"

Li Chaoge looked at the composed Bai Jin and said speechlessly, "How come the topic always comes back to causing trouble?"

"I didn't cause any trouble, I didn't do anything reckless."

Bai Jin leaned against Li Chaoge, her light body completely nestled in his arms. She gently bit his ear and whispered, "Isn't the one who really wants to mess around, Doctor?"

Holy crap, Platinum.

Li Chaoge had to admit that Bai Jin's decision to bring him to a secluded place made him want to enjoy himself there.

But isn't this really a case of entrapment?

Knowing full well that he couldn't resist such temptation, she still went to his side again and again to tempt him.

Li Chaoge was speechless as he activated time stop, picked up Bai Jin and put her on the ground, grabbed her ponytail, hugged her in his arms and vigorously stroked her tail.

Platinum has two ponytails; one ponytail sways and floats when her body is tense, while the other ponytail hangs limply when her body is tense.

Sometimes, both will move upwards and downwards simultaneously.

................

After Li Chaoge finished teaching Bai Jin, who had tried to flirt with him, he picked her up and remounted his horse. He wrapped his arms around her slender and soft body, held the reins, and slowly rode the horse across the vast grassland.

Platinum, who had no strength, clung to his waist with both hands, curled up in his arms, and let him carry her around. Occasionally, he would give her some riding tips so that she could learn to ride amidst the bumps.

From an outsider's perspective, Bai Jin looked pitiful, as if he was in poor health and was pulled in by Li Chaoge to be a coach.

However, only Li Chaoge himself knew that this guy had only himself to blame.

We were just having a nice time playing together, but you insisted on taking him to a deserted place and then acting like a riddle teller, not letting him speak honestly.

If he hadn't been so assertive, Platinum might have turned the tables on him.

"Doctor, what are you and Platinum playing at?"

Li Chaoge strolled leisurely around the horse farm with Bai Jin, occasionally trying out his rein-handling skills. Before he knew it, he and Bai Jin arrived at the edge of the horse farm, where Fengdi and Nian were also resting.

Fengdi was feeding the horse she had chosen, using feed stored in a stable, while Nian sat cross-legged to one side, its tail swaying back and forth.

"Bagpipes, Nian, come quickly and take the doctor away."
