After Playing the Fool and Marrying the Blind Villain [Transmigration] - Chap 109
After Playing the Fool And Marrying the Blind Villain – Extra Three
After a brief lunch break at the private racecourse, Pei Yi started afternoon training with his coach.
The two arrived at the stables, and Pei Yi saw Zong Baiyan’s beloved horse at a glance—
It was a brown chestnut thoroughbred horse named Changfeng.
Pei Yi’s eyes were bright as he stood on tiptoe and patted the thoroughbred horse’s face. “Coach Gao, can I ride Father Yan’s Changfeng this afternoon?”
Pei Yi had his own pony and had ridden it during the daily training that morning.
When Zong Baiyan trained with him in the past, he would always use Changfeng to walk him around and gallop every afternoon.
Although the other party didn’t accompany him to train today, Pei Yi still wanted to ride Changfeng.
How majestic the big horse was!
Coach Gao thought about it for a moment, and agreed. “But you can’t ride him yourself today. I’ll lead him, and you can sit on him and play for a while.”
After all, every horse had its own temperament. Although Pei Yi could be regarded as a little master, the real master Zong Baiyan was not here—
For the sake of the horse itself and the safety of the children, they, as coaches, must be careful.
Pei Yi muttered, “Can’t I ride by myself? Don’t lead me.”
Coach Gao patted his helmet lightly. “That won’t work, you’re not able to ride a big horse alone at your age and height. It wouldn’t be good if Mr. Zong discovered you.”
“…….”
Pei Yi’s small thoughts were extinguished instantly, but he was still a little unresigned. “No children can ride?”
Coach Gao led the horse out for him and answered, “That isn’t the case. We have a very young member here who is older and taller than you. He was able to ride alone at the age of eleven or twelve.”
As he spoke, another equestrian trainer led a black horse to walk toward them.
Pei Yi’s attention was immediately drawn. He looked up and stared at the black horse with a shiny, moist coat, and wanted to go up and touch it.
Just as he was thinking about it, Coach Gao on the side said, “Why did you bring this Friesian out today? Isn’t he only trained every Tuesday and Wednesday?”
The horse trainer replied, “The time has been changed temporarily. He’ll come later. I’m taking the horse out first to warm it up.”
“Okay.”
Coach Gao didn’t ask any more questions, and took Pei Yi out.
Pei Yi was led out several meters without turning his eyes away, as curious as a little cat. “Coach Gao, that dark horse is so good-looking!”
Coach Gao said with a smile, “When your riding skills become stable and you get older, I’ll ask Mr. Zong to buy you a big horse like that one.”
Pei Yi shook his head. “My little pony is fine.”
He didn’t understand before, but it was different now—
Whether it was Changfeng or the dark horse just now, their value was enough to cover the expenses of the orphanage for one or two years.
He was already content to learn equestrian skills, and would no longer spend Father Yan and Father Rong’s money in an extravagant manner.
The coach didn’t understand Pei Yi’s ideas at such a young age, and just took him to the riding stable for instruction.
The two of them walked around the arena three times before taking a short rest.
Coach Gao also asked Pei Yi to temporarily dismount. He looked at the time and said, “Let’s rest where we are for twenty minutes. You sit here and drink some water. We’ll jog two more laps later, and it will be nearly three o’clock.”
Pei Yi took the canteen handed over by Coach Gao, but wasn’t in a hurry to drink it.
The phone rang.
Coach Gao looked at the caller ID and told Pei Yi again, “Don’t run around here, teacher will be back soon!”
There were surveillance cameras everywhere in the riding stable, and no ordinary people could enter, so it was relatively safe.
“Oh.”
Pei Yi sat down on the bench and rested obediently, carrying his blue cartoon canteen.
Taking advantage of Zong Baiyan’s absence today, he hadn’t taken a bite since he got up early, and the water in the canteen was nearly full at this moment.
It was almost three o’clock.
Pei Yi remembered Xu Rong’s instructions and resignedly opened the canteen’s lid, taking a few perfunctory sips through the straw.
Clop clop clop!
The sound of galloping horse hooves suddenly sounded. Pei Yi raised his eyes and looked toward the source of the sound—
There was a person riding the black horse he had just seen, galloping a few meters away. When he encountered the low railing set up outside the racecourse, he directly pulled the reins and jumped over it.
“Wow!”
Pei Yi blurted this out unconsciously. It wasn’t until the black horse ran past that he finally saw clearly that the rider was actually a young man!
The admiration in Pei Yi’s eyes grew even stronger. “So awesome, ah.”
He stared at the other person’s strong, elegant figure for a moment, and suddenly felt a little anxious.
In less than three seconds, Pei Yi made up his mind and covered the canteen forcefully after taking two sips.
He quickly rushed to Changfeng’s side and untied the reins of his beloved horse hanging to the side. “Changfeng, let’s run around secretly, okay?”
Changfeng let out a breath and stamped his feet on the spot.
Pei Yi only thought that the other party had agreed, and tried his utmost to reach the stirrups with his short legs that had not yet grown.
He grasped the reins tightly and tried to adjust the horse’s direction, but Changfeng, who hadn’t been able to run yet, seemed to suddenly gain energy and started running clockwise.
It should be known that the Imperial Capital Private Racecourse had adopted foreign standard horse racing specifications, and horses were generally ridden in a counter-clockwise direction.
Pei Yi grew nervous when he saw that he and Changfeng were going in the wrong direction.
Before he could turn around, the fast black horse rushed over.
“……”
Pei Yi froze in fear and could only tighten the reins instinctively. He closed his eyes tight and didn’t dare to look at the oncoming “disaster.”
“—Shh!”
A warning sound came in time from the opposite side.
The deafening neigh of the horse came, and the frightened Changfeng neighed at the same time.
Pei Yi felt his body’s center of gravity suddenly fall back, and he fell almost uncontrollably from Changfeng, his insides shaking at once.
He blinked in fear, only to realize that he was lying under Changfeng’s feet. If the horse retreated at any time, he would easily suffer disaster.
“Come over!”
The sound of urging met his ears, and then Pei Yi felt his arm being pulled tightly—
The room began to spin for a moment, and Pei Yi’s head felt hot. “Wu.”
Under the constant fear, his back was still stiff and he dared not move.
A muffled voice suddenly came to his ears. “Are you…..okay?”
Pei Yi opened his eyes belatedly and found that he had somehow regarded the young man as a “human cushion.” At this moment, he was lying on the other person’s body and burying his head in their neck.
“Second Young Master!”
“Second Young Master! Are you okay?”
Uncle Kai, the housekeeper who had accompanied him, was so frightened by this scene that he ran over immediately.
At the same time, Coach Gao, who had finished his phone call, sensed that something was wrong and ran over with haste.
The person below him patted Pei Yi on the back and asked, “Are you injured? Can you move?”
Pei Yi realized that he had done something wrong and almost caused a disaster, and his eyes immediately reddened in a panic.
Enduring the numbness in his arm, he got up before the others arrived.
Without the weight keeping his body down, Bo Yueming stood up neatly and quickly patted the sand off his body.
Uncle Kai and Coach Gao arrived one after another. The latter hadn’t seen the incident, and was the first to ask, “What’s going on? Why did Pei Yi bring Changfeng here?”
He had gone to answer the phone for four or five minutes, so why did it turn into this?
Pei Yi lowered his head in guilt and fear. Just as he was about to apologize and admit his mistake, he heard the young man beside him make excuses for him. “I didn’t pay attention to the distance between the horses. I rode too fast and the two horses got too close.”
Bo Yueming looked at the two horses that had run away in fear, and said, “Please go and get the horses back first.”
Uncle Kai beside him saw that Bo Yueming’s expression was not serious, and kept silent in a timely manner.
Coach Gao was aware of Bo Yueming’s identity. He nodded slightly and then looked anxiously at Pei Yi. “Are you hurt anywhere?”
Pei Yi was waiting in fear to be criticized. How could he dare say there was something wrong with him? He shook his head like a rattle.
Coach Gao patted his shoulder in comfort. “Then you go back to the bench and sit for a while. I’ll chase the horses back first and we’ll talk about the rest later.”
Pei Yi nodded.
After Coach Gao left, Uncle Kai asked again, “Second Young Master, are you all right? I was really scared to death just now.”
Bo Yueming shook his head. “It’s nothing.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Yi standing opposite him leaned closer and apologized. “I’m sorry.”
Bo Yueming looked at the unfamiliar young boy in front of him, who was more than half a head shorter, with adult-like seriousness on his face.
“How old are you? How did you dare to ride an adult horse?”
“…….”
This question got straight to the point.
Pei Yi took a breath and raised his eyes fearfully. “I, I rode him secretly. I won’t dare to do it next time.”
The protective helmet on his head was crooked and his riding uniform was stained by a lot of sand. He looked pitiful and dirty, but also incredibly honest.
Uncle Kai next to him felt that Pei Yi was unfamiliar. “Which family is this young master from?”
This private racecourse had a membership system with a million-yuan annual fee, and no more than three members could make reservations on the same day. The only people who came here for this hobby were the top rich and famous people in the Imperial Capital circle.
Pei Yi shook his head and said nothing.
Bo Yueming’s keen eyes caught the scratches on the back of Pei Yi’s hands. He said out of courtesy, “Uncle Kai, go get the medical kit. His hands are injured and bleeding.”
Pei Yi lowered his eyes and hid his hands behind his back as if to evade. “……I’m fine, it doesn’t hurt.”
He was currently praying that Father Rong and Father Yan wouldn’t find out about this matter. What if they thought he was naughty and disobedient and wanted to send him back to the orphanage?
Bo Yueming ignored Pei Yi’s excuse and only looked at Uncle Kai.
It was his temporary rescheduling today that took away the other party’s opportunity to use the racecourse alone. Moreover, if he hadn’t made Adrien run so fast, the other party’s horse wouldn’t have been frightened.
Uncle Kai knew his young master’s temperament, so he turned and went to get the medical kit.
Once all the adults present had left, Pei Yi finally regained some courage.
He looked up at Bo Yueming, who was much taller than him, and realized belatedly that the other’s mixed-race appearance was particularly eye-catching. Especially those dark blue eyes.
The situation just now had been so chaotic that Pei Yi could no longer tell what had happened during that brief time, but he understood that the other party must have protected him.
Bo Yueming saw him staring intently and felt uncomfortable. “What are you looking at me for?”
Pei Yi took the initiative to lean forward a little, polite and well-behaved. “Thank you, Gege, you’re so awesome.”
“…….”
Faced with Pei Yi’s sudden address, Bo Yueming silently clenched the corners of his clothes with his fingers. Due to his special background, his younger siblings had never called him “Gege.”
But when Pei Yi suddenly called him this way upon meeting for the first time, Bo Yueming felt indescribably awkward and complicated.
Pei Yi noticed Bo Yueming’s lack of response and pointed at the nearby bench and invited, “The coach asked me to sit down and wait for him.”
Bo Yueming understood and said, “Let’s go to the guest hall and wait.”
Pei Yi felt that he was reliable, and nodded trustingly.
. . . . . . . .
Fifteen minutes later, in the guest hall.
Coach Gao roughly came to understand the situation based on Bo Yueming’s words, and regarded it as a false alarm. “It’s great that everything is fine. Pei Yi, we won’t practice today. You just wait here for Mr. Zong to pick you up.”
There was none of the expected criticism, so Pei Yi nodded hurriedly.
Coach Gao had learned from the previous lesson and didn’t dare to step away again.
He just walked to the work area a few steps away and recorded what had happened that day. He also had to inform the parents later.
Uncle Kai took the afternoon tea from an employee and walked up. “Second Young Master, will you still practice today?”
Bo Yueming glanced at Pei Yi beside him and said, “Later.”
No matter how mature he pretended to be, he was only sixteen years old, after all, and the accident just now had left him with lingering fears.
The small wounds on the backs of Pei Yi’s hands had been treated. He was currently sitting in a well-behaved manner next to Bo Yueming, gazing longingly at the cupcakes on the table.
He was a little greedy, but didn’t dare take one.
Bo Yueming didn’t like sweets. He pushed a cupcake over with apparent casualness and said, “Here.”
Having broken away from his previous panic, there was a smile in Pei Yi’s eyes. “Thank you, Er-ge.”
When he heard Uncle Kai call the other party “Second Young Master,” he changed his address in the same way.
There was a rising tone at the end, making it sound sweet and cute.
Pretending to be calm, Bo Yueming moved his gaze away as a rare blush appeared on his ears.
Uncle Kai noticed this and walked to the side with great discernment. Smiling, he left space for the two children to have alone time and make friends.
Pei Yi loved the cupcake so much that he even licked up the little cake crumbs until it was gone.
Bo Yueming caught a glimpse of the cream remaining at the corner of his mouth and couldn’t help but ask, “Does it taste good?”
Pei Yi shook his head and said, “It’s not as good as my Father Rong’s.”
But compared to the low-quality cake he had eaten in the orphanage, the taste was already good, and no matter whether it tasted good or not, he couldn’t waste it.
When Pei Yi thought of Xu Rong, it was as if he had opened a chat box. “Er-ge, my Father Rong can cook anything delicious. My Father Rong is so good-looking. Every day, my Father Rong will give me……”
Halfway through the steady stream of praises, Pei Yi suddenly got stuck.
As if having remembered something important, he hurriedly picked up the canteen he had left aside, unscrewed the cap and popped out the short straw, and sucked hard and continuously.
Bo Yueming seemed like he wasn’t part of the conversation, but was actually paying attention to his every move.
Then Pei Yi stopped with a frown and muttered, “It’s over, it’s over. I really can’t drink anymore.”
“What?” Bo Yueming blurted out.
“Father Rong made flower tea water for me.” Pei Yi shook the contents of the cup lightly. “I promised to finish drinking it. What should I do?”
Having said this, he turned his beseeching eyes toward Bo Yueming, who he had just met.
“…….”
Bo Yueming met his sparkling gaze and was about to turn his eyes away in avoidance.
Who could have known that Pei Yi would pull out the straw, pour the water inside into the large-capacity thermos cap, and then carefully hand it to Bo Yueming. “Er-ge, have a drink!”
“……”
Was he giving him a drink? Or making him help drink it?
Bo Yueming didn’t expect Pei Yi to become so familiar with him. He, who usually talked very little, was actually speechless.
Pei Yi noticed his lack of response and said, “Help me drink it, please.”
Bo Yueming had some mysophobia when it came to food and was really not used to food and drink being offered to him by others. However, when he looked at the eager Pei Yi, he couldn’t say no.
He picked up a clean unused glass and poured the unexpected flower tea water into it. “Leave it for now.”
The always sensible Pei Yi noticed his perfunctory attitude and urged him in a low voice, “If you don’t like it, just give it back to me. It can’t be wasted.”
Bo Yueming knew he had been seen through, and got stuck. He reluctantly answered, “It won’t be wasted.”
Having received this response, Pei Yi picked up his canteen with a smile and took the opportunity to touch the other’s water glass. “Cheers, Er-ge!”
