Chapter 481: Chapter 481: Is it Intentional?

A person who doesn’t understand horses can never excel at horse riding.

"Okay, I’ll choose first." Yang Yu didn’t stand on ceremony with Huang Zhen and began picking out a horse in the stable: "I’ll take this one!"

Huang Zhen glanced at the horse and despised it internally.

Yang Yu really didn’t know how to pick horses, opting for the biggest one.

Yang Yu probably thought that because the horse was big, it would run fast, which was laughably naive.

How could picking horses be like choosing bricklayers, where bigger is automatically better?

He reaffirmed that Yang Yu knew nothing about riding, then said to Yang Yu, "Mr. Yang, I’d like to add ten million more to the bet. Do you accept?"

"Accepted, no matter how much." Yang Yu laughed. "You transfer the money, and so will I."

Seeing Huang Zhen raise the stakes, everyone else immediately followed suit: "I’ll add three million!"

"I’ll add five million!"

"I’ll also add ten million!"

After Huang Zhen chose his horse, the bets had increased by a billion, making Yang Yu grin broadly, "Anybody else want to raise the stakes? The more you bet, the more you win! The more you bet, the more I win!"

"Pfft—" Xia Yu couldn’t help but burst into laughter, her laugh captivating many men around her, making them even more envious and resentful towards Yang Yu: "Keep showing off, let’s see if you can still do that after you lose!"

The two mounted their horses, and Yang Yu laughed, "Huang Zhen, why don’t we swap horses? Just so you can’t blame me for picking the better horse when you lose later."

"No need." Huang Zhen hummed, "This racetrack is exactly one thousand meters around. Do you want to do a thousand-meter race or a three-thousand-meter race?"

"Let’s do a thousand meters!" Yang Yu said, "That way, the money comes quicker."

Everyone: "......"

Bang!

As the starting gun fired, Yang Yu and Huang Zhen spurred their horses and dashed forward.

The horse Huang Zhen had chosen really had a strong start, charging straight ahead.

The horse Yang Yu had chosen seemed a bit cumbersome, not slow, but not exactly fast either.

In just a few seconds, Huang Zhen had already pulled ahead by over thirty meters, drawing cheers from the crowd: "Good!"

Thirty meters, forty meters, fifty meters... the gap between the two horses grew larger, and by half of the race, Huang Zhen’s horse had pulled ahead of Yang Yu’s by a hundred meters!

The crowd was ecstatic, congratulating each other: "Haha, it’s in the bag now!"

"But I didn’t expect Yang Yu could actually ride a horse, just not as well as Huang Zhen."

"Hehe, he himself offered to raise the stakes; he’s basically handing us money!"

"Guys, look, something’s off!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, and everyone immediately turned their attention to the track, stunned.

Yang Yu’s horse suddenly picked up speed as if it had turned into a different animal, vigorously closing the gap.

Six hundred meters, the gap was forty meters;

Seven hundred meters, the gap was thirty meters;

Eight hundred meters, the gap was twenty meters;

Nine hundred fifty meters, the gap was zero;

Nine hundred sixty meters, Yang Yu took the lead and charged straight for the finish line!

Li Chengyang’s face stiffened significantly, almost as if he had lost sensation.

"Just like that, a billion is gone, truly fucking annoying!"

I’ve never heard of Yang Yu riding horses before. When did he learn?

"Impossible, that horse couldn’t possibly run so fast!" Huang Zhen’s face was full of disbelief, but the fact was right before his eyes, he had to accept defeat.

He lost, but he didn’t think it was because his horse riding skills were worse than Yang Yu’s, the only possibility was that there was something wrong with the horse!

But it was he who had let Yang Yu choose the horse first. Yang Yu even asked him if he wanted to switch horses, and he himself said no. Who could he blame then?

"Thanks, everyone, I’ll take your kindness, haha!" Yang Yu laughed loudly, "I’ll treat you all to the night snack tonight, you guys pick the place."

Those guys were infuriated by Yang Yu, but they still had no way to handle him.

Now they realized, Yang Yu was really skilled at playing the fool to catch the wise, manipulating them all in the palm of his hand; they lost their money unjustly!

Seeing that everyone was silent, Yang Yu continued, "Guys, I’m sure everyone’s tired of playing, let’s not compete anymore. Come on, let’s go drink!"

"Hmph!" Li Chengze left with a dark face and a flick of his sleeves.

The others also left one after another, and before long, only Yang Yu and Xia Yu were left.

"They just left like that, really." Yang Yu’s face showed his frustration, "Back in our hometown, whoever won money in cards without treating others would get spit on. They’re not giving me a chance; they want to ruin my reputation!"

Xia Yu understood then; if these people didn’t leave, they would’ve been infuriated to death by Yang Yu sooner or later.

This guy had a knack for infuriating people!

"Since they’re not going, then I’ll treat you; you really helped me out tonight," Yang Yu grinned, "Xia Family’s lady Zhuge, I wonder if you’d honor me with your company?"

Xia Yu gave Yang Yu a disdainful look, "Do you think I’d be interested in drinking flower wine?"

"We can change it to something else," Yang Yu said, "whatever it is, just name your condition, as long as I can do it."

Xia Yu’s gaze then shifted to the horses, "Yang Yu, I can’t ride horses, but I do want to ride and enjoy the breeze. Could you take me for a ride?"

"No problem." Yang Yu got back on the horse and reached out his hand to Xia Yu, "Do you want to sit in front or behind?"

Xia Yu thought for a moment, "I’ll sit behind."

"Okay." Yang Yu pulled Xia Yu up onto the horse, sitting behind him, "Hold onto my waist, hold on tight!"

"Okay... ah!" Xia Yu screamed, her hands tightly clutching Yang Yu’s waist.

There was no helping it, the horse suddenly started moving, and the speed was really fast!

The faster the horse ran, the tighter Xia Yu held onto Yang Yu’s waist, her whole body pressing against him, "Yang Yu, tell me you’re not doing this on purpose!"

"What did you say? The wind is too loud, and the horse is too fast, I can’t hear you, haha!" Yang Yu continued to spur the horse on, making it run even faster.

Xia Yu was so scared she dared not speak anymore, just holding tightly onto Yang Yu.

Despite her fear, the sense of security that Yang Yu gave her completely overcame her inner terror.

This man, he really provides a sense of security!

Yang Yu took Xia Yu around the horse track several times until Xia Yu got a bit tired, then Yang Yu finally stopped, "Had enough?"

"Yes." Xia Yu nodded, her face flushed.

She had been confined within her family home since she was young, always dreaming of one day running wild in nature like the horses.

Today, that wish was finally fulfilled.

"Let’s go, let’s go rest," Yang Yu smiled, "Get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow we’ll head back to Tianhai City."

"Back to Tianhai City tomorrow?" Xia Yu was a bit surprised, "Aren’t you forgetting something you promised me?"

"I haven’t forgotten," Yang Yu’s expression instantly turned serious, "Give me your parents’ photo, and get some sleep. When you wake up tomorrow morning, there should be an answer."
