Horse Girl, Your Friend is Fighting Her Way Out of the Horse Racing Track

A soft snore could be heard, occasionally accompanied by a few indistinct murmurs in sleep.

Poetry and Wine straightened their backs stiffly, tilted their heads slightly, and looked down at the gray head that was slowly sliding down their shoulders with the vibrations of the train.

The valiant horse girl, who was so powerful on the racetrack, now had a silly smile on her lips, and there was even a suspicious water stain about to rub onto Poetry and Wine's coat.

'Really.'

Poetry and Wine instinctively wanted to shrug her to wake her up, or simply push her away.

But she stopped just as her shoulder muscles tensed.

At the edge of my vision were eyelashes that trembled slightly from exhaustion even in my sleep, and a hand that unconsciously gripped the hem of Poetry and Wine's clothes.

'never mind.'

Poetry and Wine sighed. The hand that had originally wanted to push her away eventually just gently adjusted her posture to make her more comfortable.

'She's a G1 horse girl who just won the Emperor's Prize, so why does she have no dignity at all?'

The black-haired girl was a little depressed.

"Hey, have you read the newspaper? Today's Spring Imperial Awards are absolutely fantastic!"

"Yeah, that Diamond Treasure was simply a miracle! That final sprint gave me goosebumps!"

"I really want to meet him in person. He must be a very powerful person with a strong presence..."

Several tourists in the back row, who had just finished watching the game, were excitedly flipping through the latest edition of the UMA Evening News, and their discussions could be faintly heard.

Poetry and Wine listened to these conversations, then glanced at the gray-haired girl who was drooling and burying her face in the crook of her neck, and puffed up their cheeks in anger.

To distract herself, Poetry and Wine carefully took a folded potato flag out of her bag with one hand.

Rough fabric, crooked stitches.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the pattern of silver stars shone brightly.

She looked at it for a while, and her eyes softened.

Then, she picked up a fashion magazine that she had been using as a cover, neatly sandwiched the flag between the pages, carefully stored it away, and put it back in the deepest part of her bag.

Just then.

A chill ran through him, and Rifar, who had been resting in the shadows, stepped out.

The once-dominant European racehorse girl, now existing only as a spirit, stands with her arms crossed beside Poetry and Wine.

She first glanced at the diamond-shaped treasure, who was sleeping soundly and even rubbing against Poetry and Wine, taking advantage of the situation.

Then I saw Shi Yujiu, who looked helpless, saying he disliked her but actually acting as a human pillow, letting the other person act coquettishly.

For the extremely rare occasion, a look of gloom appeared on Lifar's usually indistinct face.

How did my daughter get entangled with and even taken advantage of...?

Although she has lost many memories and is not very old.

But subconsciously, this black-haired girl with similar hair color and eyes to hers was like a continuation of her bloodline, her daughter.

Lifar protested silently.

She walked up to the Diamond Treasure and extended her pale fingers.

It seemed like she wanted to poke this shameless guy who was hogging her daughter's shoulder, or perhaps she wanted to push her head away.

But just as her fingers were about to touch, she saw the way Poetry and Wine, though indifferent, carefully protected each other.

'well……'

Lifar's finger hovered in mid-air, and in the end, he just angrily drew a circle in the air.

Then, like a sulking old man, she floated to the window, sat down with her back to the two of them, and stared blankly at the scenery rushing past outside the window.

Dark Meteor: Chapter 221 The Return Journey

Lifar's silhouette exuded an overwhelming sense of desolation.

Poetry and Wine seemed to sense something and looked up at Rifar.

Please do not disturb.

She spoke in a very low voice to the sulking figure.

"This might wake up Qi Zi."

Lifar stiffened, turned around, and looked at Poetry and Wine with an even more resentful and incredulous gaze.

'...'

Poetry and wine pretended not to see, and turned their gaze back to the window.

The train passed through the tunnel and then entered the light.

During this short journey, the girl beside her slept soundly, warmed by her body temperature.

.........

night.

Back on the familiar campus, it was already completely dark.

The streetlights cast long shadows of the two people, and the evening breeze rustled through the treetops, bringing a refreshing coolness.

"Ah... I slept so well..."

Lingzuan Qibao stretched out a big yawn. Although she had taken a nap in the car and her energy had recovered a lot, her steps were still a little unsteady when she landed.

After all, he had just finished a grueling 3200-meter race, and the fatigue in his body couldn't be dispelled by a good night's sleep.

Poetry and Wine walked beside her, carrying a heavy, huge sports bag on one shoulder, filled with Diamond Treasure's equipment.

Just then, a few younger female racehorses returning home late happened to pass by.

"Ah! Look! That's..."

"It's Senior Diamond Treasure! Today's Spring Imperial Award Champion!"

"Wow...that's amazing, is this the aura of G1 Magi-chan...?"

The excited whispers of the female students could be heard.

Unfortunately, the champion they were talking about, who had such a powerful aura, was currently trying to snatch her bag back.

"Um... Little wine, that's quite heavy, I'll carry it myself..."

Somewhat embarrassed, Lingzuan Qibao reached out to grab the shoulder strap, and almost stumbled because her legs were weak.

"no need."

Poetry and wine stepped aside, the girl's tone was calm, but she subtly slowed her pace to match the other's speed.

"Are your legs still shaking?"

"If you fall on flat ground and I have to carry you back, that would be even more troublesome."

"Ugh... You're so strict."

Lingzuan Qibao spoke in a fake voice, but inside she felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.

She didn't stand on ceremony and moved closer, naturally wrapping her arms around Shi Yujiu's free arms and leaning her weight against him.

"Hey, Xiao Jiu."

"what."

"I won!"

“I know, I’m right there. Don’t make me repeat myself a third time.”

"Am I a cool runner?"

"Probably, except for his somewhat ferocious expression when he crossed the finish line."

"Huh?! Is it really that ferocious?!"

Lingzuan Qibao panicked instantly, nervously touching her cheek, completely ignoring the curious stares from the female students around her.

"What if fans take unflattering photos of me... I really wanted you to see my cutest and most handsome side..."

Poetry and Wine turned their heads to look at her flustered appearance, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on their lips.

"Compared to that."

Poetry and wine paused their steps.

The dim yellow light from the streetlights shone on the two of them.

"Congratulations."

The two simple words left Diamond Treasures stunned.

"Although he's an idiot, he's definitely... an idiot who works harder than anyone else."

Poetry and Wine turned their heads to look at the moths fluttering under the streetlights and said softly.

"You deserve this too."

As Lingzuan Qibao looked at the black horse ears of poetry and wine, which were tinged with red in the night, the smile in his eyes grew deeper and deeper.

She hugged Poetry and Wine's arm tightly, rubbing her cheek against his sleeve like a large, affectionate dog.

"Hehe... I love liquor the most."

"It's too close, it's so hot."

Despite his complaints, Poetry and Wine did not pull his arm away.

The two continued walking towards the dormitory.

As we approached the fork in the road between Lidong and Meipu.

Diamond Treasure suddenly stopped, as if remembering something extremely important, and her expression became serious.

"A little wine."

"What's wrong now?"

Are you free tomorrow?

Diamond Treasure raised its head, its light green eyes sparkling with anticipation.

She said in a relaxed manner.

"Tomorrow is Monday, and school will be closed after the game."

Poetry and wine were on my mind.

"It should be fine. I was planning to catch up on my sleep..."

"That...that one."

Lingzuan Qibao took a deep breath and interrupted her plan to catch up on sleep.

As if she had made up her mind, the silver-gray girl stared at Shi Yujiu's questioning eyes, her hands gripping her sleeves tightly. She spoke earnestly.

"Let's go on a date tomorrow!"

The air suddenly went silent for a second.

"……Why?"

Poetry and wine were stunned.

Dating?

The black-haired girl's brain short-circuited for a moment.

The memory briefly returned to the time when the two had just met.

Back then, poets and drinkers were not used to being touched or receiving kindness from others. They would bristle like startled cats if the other person got even a little close, and were easily embarrassed.

Although she had gotten used to the companionship of Diamond Baby over the past six months and thought she had become desensitized, she was still able to use it.

But at this moment, he looked at the diamond-like treasure staring intently into his light green eyes, which were full of possessiveness.

The long-lost heat suddenly shot from my neck to the top of my head without warning.
