"I felt that with my level of skill, taking you along shouldn’t be a problem, if you want to experience the joy of galloping..."
After confirming with the coach nearby that this horse could comfortably carry two people, Zhou Wang smiled and said to Shen Yutong.
"Uh...isn’t this inappropriate, Ranran, how about you take me?"
Shen Yutong’s cheeks inexplicably turned red, possibly from the sun, and she struggled for a moment.
"I don’t have enough strength, I’m afraid I might lose control at a critical moment, let my brother ride with you, it’s fine."
Su Yajing giggled, gently nudging Shen Yutong forward.
Shen Yutong said nothing more, and when Zhou Wang extended his hand from atop the horse, she silently placed her hand into his.
Her smooth palm was slightly sweaty due to the weather, but it didn’t affect the soft feel.
Zhou Wang tightened his grip on Shen Yutong’s hand, and after she placed one foot on the stirrup, he exerted force and pulled her into his arms...onto the horse...
Alright, he pulled her onto the saddle and into his arms—simultaneously.
Firstly, the saddle wasn’t exactly spacious, but it was a bit crowded with two people.
Secondly, Shen Yutong’s outfit for the day was worth noting.
She wore a short sun-protective sports jacket on top with a black tank top underneath, exposing her slim waist without any visible fat, while her lower half was adorned in tight leggings fitting snugly over her long legs and rounded backside.
Maybe they were yoga pants...Zhou Wang couldn’t really tell.
It was Zhou Wang’s familiar style, not much fabric yet not overly sultry, perfectly showcasing her figure.
But the moment Shen Yutong settled down, Zhou Wang felt a nudge.
It was like a big ball hitting a small ball, or the moon bumping into stars...
All I can say is, Shen Yutong’s sports pants were terrifyingly thin.
Shen Yutong also seemed to sense something, but before she could adjust her position, Zhou Wang reminded her, "Hold on tight!"
As he spoke, Zhou Wang slipped his hands from either side of Shen Yutong’s slender waist to grip the reins, squeezed his legs, and the mighty horse charged out—
Well, in reality, the starting speed was quite slow, not quite reaching the level of "galloping," but the backward force was enough, and in nervousness, Shen Yutong leaned back firmly against Zhou Wang.
Sensing the Creator’s wonder, they fit together perfectly, complementing each other’s bodies.
At that moment, Shen Yutong had no time to focus on these, her mind completely absorbed in this new experience.
Riding a horse for the first time, she tried to find the joy of galloping.
Zhou Wang thoughtfully guided her, "Relax, yes, lean forward, let your waist and abdomen sink back."
Shen Yutong gradually picked up a few tricks, her cheeks turning a slight crimson from the intense exercise.
"Zhou Wang, it’s too fast, slow down!"
Shen Yutong’s eyes barely open, her voice trembling from nervousness.
"What did you say...speed up?"
The wind was a bit too strong, so Zhou Wang didn’t hear what Shen Yutong said clearly, only vaguely catching the word "fast," prompting him to tap the horse’s back.
Receiving the signal, the steed galloped forward, and from a distance, it was hard for everyone to make out their movements.
Zhou Wang remembered in a certain movie, a popular actress once had a classic scene where she, playing Yang Guifei, accomplished a series of complex maneuvers on horseback with the Emperor.
Regarding this, Zhou Wang admitted that movies weren’t entirely made up; there was some truth to horseback riding angles!
Thrilling!
Riding a horse was truly exhilarating.
After circling with Shen Yutong for a while, even Zhou Wang got worn out despite his physical ability, and as for Shen Yutong in his arms, she was practically like jelly.
If she hadn’t been leaning against Zhou Wang, she could have fallen off at any moment.
When she finally dismounted with Su Yajing’s support, Shen Yutong, her cheeks red as a tomato, was too distracted to say anything and stumbled off to the restroom.
"Brother, is Tongtong alright? Her expression seemed so strange!"
Su Yajing said with some concern.
"Don’t worry, she’s fine, maybe just a bit overwhelmed with motion."
Zhou Wang shrugged helplessly, "After all, you know, horseback riding is quite a jarring activity."
...
Despite paying for half a day, realistically, it wasn’t possible to ride for so long.
After about an hour at the riding club, the girls started taking all sorts of pictures, while Zhou Wang lit up the cigar given by the riding club owner and sat with him, boasting and gleaning some insights into the affluent circles.
The club owner mentioned that some wealthy individuals were beginning to keep horses comparable to national treasures, like the "Akhal-Teke" breed, leading to a new kind of socializing centered around equestrian activities, gaining popularity in certain elite circles.
It wasn’t as prominent in Yunan Province, but in first-tier cities, it was getting substantial traction.
Zhou Wang just smiled and didn’t reply, understanding why the club owner was telling him this, as their conversation started with watches.
The club owner also wore a Rolex, a once-popular "Pepsi" model, priced around a hundred thousand yuan, so he easily recognized the six-to-seven-hundred-thousand-yuan meteorite Daytona on Zhou Wang’s wrist.
His warm attitude was simply because he saw potential profit.
After all, from the club owner’s perspective, Zhou Wang had clearly enjoyed his horseback riding, so he was likely a horse enthusiast...
Unfortunately, the club owner was bound to be disappointed, as Zhou Wang wasn’t interested in that kind of horse.
Even if he were to cultivate interests, they would only be genuinely appealing ones; following trends blindly was something Zhou Wang considered one of the lowest behaviors.
