slowly

Quinton was led off by a trainer.

Ning Zhi was so ashamed that he didn't know how he walked back from the ranch to the hotel room. He drooped his head all the way, but he could still sense the meticulous gazes from all around him.

After stopping his reckless move, Jiang Chan probably wanted to scold him, but it was only because Mr. Zhang followed, smoothed things over a few words, and proposed a competition, which gave Ning Zhi a chance to escape.

The room was quiet, and he wanted to get a bottle of mineral water to drink, but he was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up, so he could only slump on the sofa, dejectedly inquiring about the consequences of the frightened horses and the value of the purebreds.

After closing the webpage, I feel even more heavy.

Everything today was a mistake, and Ning Zhi felt remorseful. He shouldn't be thinking about it, and he shouldn't be thinking about the club's "star horse". Now, if Quinton fails in the first-level competition, he will be the culprit.

And Jiang Chan, who kissed him suddenly last night, with such an affectionate look, suddenly changed his face today. If it wasn't for his ambiguous behavior, Ning Zhi would not have the courage to presume that stealing a racehorse ride is irrelevant.

Frustrated, there were two "dong dong" knocks on the door of the room.Ning Zhi managed to calm down, and slowly walked over to open the door.Sure enough, Jiang Chan was standing outside, his broad shoulders blocked most of the sunlight, his brows were gloomy, and his eyes were condensed with a cold gaze.

Ning Zhi bit the bullet and went forward, because he was wronged, he could not help but humiliate: "I'm sorry."

Jiang Chan was stunned for a moment, the corners of his tight lips stretched a little, and he unconsciously used a doting tone: "I know I'm wrong?"

"En." Ning Zhi quickly stated his position, with a little exaggeration of sincerity.He took a step back, invited Jiang Chan into the room, observed his words for a while, and asked cautiously, "Have you seen the veterinarian?"

"What are you looking at?" Jiang Chan was puzzled at first, but then suddenly realized, what and what, dare to say that they are not on the same channel at all, Ning Zhi thought he was getting angry because of a horse!

"You can do it." He was angry and wanted to laugh, shook his coat and sat down, Ning Zhi didn't know what to do, and chased after him nervously, staring at Jiang Chan with clear eyes.

Jiang Chan said, "You think I'm worried about Kunton?"

Ning Zhi's slightly parted lips were like two pieces of sunset glow, trembling at first, and then pursed suddenly. Since Jiang Chan asked this way, the answer must be no, but he didn't understand, so he had to pretend he didn't understand, hiding his joy, quite Deliberately reply: "Isn't it?"

"Yes." Jiang Chan changed his tone and admitted without hesitation. He stretched out his knuckle-boned palm in front of Jiang Chan, "Kunton was frightened, so it's not too much for you to pay the inspection fee."

"Oh," Ning Zhi felt that the situation was developing too fast and he couldn't keep up, "How much?"

Jiang Chan lion opened his mouth wide: "One hundred thousand."

"How much?" Ning Zhi suddenly raised his voice.Jiang Chan was very satisfied with his reaction, and repeated the amount with a smile.

Ning Zhi raised his hand, paused in the air, and slapped Jiang Chan's palm hard, with a very crisp sound that resounded throughout the room.

"You are blackmailing!" He was filled with righteous indignation.

Jiang Chan raised his eyebrows, the hot and numb feeling passed up his arms, and Ning Zhi was quite strong.He grasped the lotus root-like wrist, and pulled him to his side. Thinking of the scene on the pasture, he still had lingering fears: "If you want to ride a horse, I will teach you, step by step. Horse racing is too fast and dangerous. Don't do it next time." Go ride recklessly again."

Ning Zhi was speechless, and felt that he should say something, but he blushed anxiously and couldn't make a sound.At this time, Jiang Chan had a kind of seemingly unintentional but deep gentleness, like every night that came unconsciously, Ning Zhi couldn't resist it.

After exhorting, Jiang Chan smiled, lifted Ning Zhi lightly, and released Ning Zhi.Ning Zhi's arm hangs down, and the feeling of sliding down is extremely clear. The gravity, speed, and temperature on the skin are all wonderful. This is the first time he has experienced it.

Jiang Chan said, "Clean up, we're going back to Lujiang."

"Okay," Ning Zhi cleared his throat, his voice was still a little astringent: "What do you mean... I can still come to play in the future?"

Jiang Chan poked his forehead, and said helplessly, "Just don't cause me trouble again."

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was just right and the birds were chirping. Xiang Han sent them outside the racecourse, added Ning Zhi's WeChat, and said that he would send him some photos.

Ning Zhi didn't know when she took the photo. Compared with this, he was more concerned about another issue. He pulled Xiang Han's clothes and asked mysteriously: "Sister, how much do you need to register as a member?"

Xiang Han burst out laughing, and Jiang Chan, who had already sat in the car, stretched out his upper body and glanced suspiciously at them: "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Xiang Han waved his hand and leaned into Ning Zhi's ear, "If I'm not here, just tell the receptionist that you are the young master's boyfriend, and they will definitely not charge you."

Warm wind poured in from the window, and the blush on Ning Zhi's face increased instead of diminishing. As the Porsche drove away from the racecourse, Jiang Chan glanced at Ning Zhi: "So hot?"

"It's heating up a bit today." Ning Zhi said vaguely.He lowered his head and swipe on the phone, and passed the friend request to Han. After a few seconds, the vibrating sound kept ringing, and the other party sent more than a dozen photos.

It was yesterday afternoon, the sky was high and the clouds were clear, and the grassland was vast. He rode on Nelson's back and watched eagerly. Jiang Chan walked in front, holding the horse steadily.

"Send a photo to Sister Han," Ning Zhi raised his phone and shook it in front of Jiang Chan.

Jiang Chan didn't see it clearly, but he didn't need to. The human eye is the best camera. He had already remembered Ning Zhi's attire and that flexible waist.

"It was a good shot," he said. "It's my first time leading a horse."

Ning Zhi thought about how to respond: Is it my honor?Will it be too contrived and unfamiliar.

He was entangled in every possible way, but Jiang Chan had a calm expression: "Want to go to the playground?"

"Wonderful World?" Ning Zhi sat up straight, his eyes turned from light to dark in just a few seconds, "But I have to go to work from Monday to Friday, and there are too many people on weekends. I heard Tao Shan say, Last time she queued for a long time and only played a few games a day."

"yes."

Jiang Chan turned the steering wheel to high speed, and gradually moved his eyes away from the left-view mirror: "Then close the garden for a day, let you have enough fun."

His tone was relaxed and casual, as if he was discussing today's weather, Ning Zhi's throat tightened, and he said, "Don't be funny."

Jiang Chan smiled: "Really."

As the owner of Wonderful Color World, he certainly has the power over the garden, but for Ning Zhi alone to give up hundreds of people's business income, it's a bit like paying a thousand dollars for a laugh and playing with the princes.

Ning Zhi has never been in a relationship, but he is not a fool. He knows that this kind of romantic scene is only suitable for couples.What is he and Jiang Chan?

"You guys have a night show!" When he was in a dilemma, Ning Zhi had an idea, "I'll just go and play after get off work!" After finishing speaking, he gave a "tsk", as if complaining about his slowness.

"There are also a lot of tourists at night," Jiang Chan didn't insist, "It's up to you."

Ning Zhi was startled: "Oh."

People are really contradictory creatures. He had already decided to refuse preferential treatment, but Jiang Chan's resolute withdrawal of the invitation made him feel a little bit disappointed.

"Go to the Chunshan Road Subway Station and let me down." Ning Zhi wanted to get out of this embarrassing atmosphere earlier, "I'll go back to the old house to see my mother."

"Where's the address? I'll take you there."

"No need," Ning Zhi said hastily, "It's very congested over there."

Jiang Chan evoked a vague smile, and teased, "Is that why you don't want to stay with me?"

"Who—" the ending sound weakened, Ning Zhi gave up the argument, "I don't want to trouble you."

"No trouble." Jiang Chan said.

When we got near Chunshan Road, there was a traffic jam.Ning Zhi watched the news of the art circle on his mobile phone and said to relieve Jiang Chan's boredom.At the end of January, Botticelli's famous painting "Young Man" was sold for 9200 million US dollars. At the end of February, Manet's "Pet Dog" was auctioned in Paris. This painting has not been exhibited publicly for 142 years.

Ning Zhi introduced the two masters to Jiang Chan, with a clear voice, talking eloquently, interspersed with a few questions from time to time: "Do you know...", Jiang Chan shook his head cooperatively, and Ning Zhi was proud, "Then I will tell you You!" He had an air of enthusiasm, devotion and a bit of showing off, which fell into Jiang Chan's eyes, as if some kind of naive, unadulterated seduction.

It was getting late, the last ray of sunlight retreated from the windows, and the villa was dark.

Zheng Qiudai woke up suddenly, staring at the ceiling and gasping for breath.Maybe it's because of insomnia for too long, this nap is unprecedentedly heavy, like a ghost pressing the bed, I should have woken up two hours ago, and I just struggled until now to escape.

Her left hand was hanging on the carpet, white but skinny, she groped to support the coffee table, and sat up stiffly, when her breathing calmed down, she took out her cell phone from under the blanket and found two missed calls from Ning Zhi.

She called back, her tone agitated: "Ning Zhi?"

"Mom, are you home?" The sound of Didi's horn made Ning Zhi very lively, "I'm coming, I'll be there in 10 minutes."

"Ah," Zheng Qiudai put on his slippers, didn't realize he was wearing them backwards, and hurried to the kitchen, "I...I haven't cooked yet."

"No need," Ning Zhi said, "I packed cooked food, just cook some porridge."

"Oh, oh." Zheng Qiudai hung up the phone, rolled up his sleeves and started to work. The villa was extremely quiet, and every move of her caused earth-shattering tremors.Filling water, washing rice, covering the pot...Under the dim light, Zheng Qiudai unconsciously became dazed. After a few minutes, she suddenly shivered, looked around in confusion, and found that she forgot to press the button on the rice cooker. switch.

After confirming that the rice was cooking, she breathed a sigh of relief and stood there blankly, like an old newspaper stuck to the wall.

The sound of a car engine came from outside the small courtyard, Zheng Qiudai raised his head, with a slight joy on his face, and walked out of the villa quickly.

Ning Zhi came out of a black Mercedes, holding a lunch box and a paper bag, and called "Mom".

Zheng Qiudai nodded and looked at the handsome young man in the driver's seat: "This is..."

"My friend." Ning Zhi's expression was a little uncomfortable, regretting that he didn't push Jiang Confession just now, and let him drive the car into the community and drive to the door of the house.

"Hello, Auntie," Jiang Chan got out of the car and introduced himself, "My name is Jiang Chan."

"Hey, hello." Zheng Qiudai was pale and thin, but he still had the temperament of the chief violinist. When he smiled, he was like a magnolia flower blooming, quiet and beautiful: "Thank you for sending Ning Zhi, let's go after dinner."

Jiang Chan refused politely, and when Zheng Qiudai insisted, he accepted the offer and said with a guilty face, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I didn't prepare any decent meeting ceremony. I hope you don't mind this." He took out a The small box, judging from its size, was a brooch, and it was delivered to Zheng Qiudai.

"You—" Ning Zhi's eyes were straightened beside him. Does this mean that he didn't prepare a gift?Why did he feel that Jiang Chan was too well prepared?

"Hey, you're too polite," Zheng Qiudai was also taken aback. When he opened the box, he saw that it was indeed a diamond brooch, with a simple and elegant design, which matched her elegant dresses quite well.

It's just that in the past two years, Zheng Qiudai has completely lost interest in dressing up, shaking his head and saying "this is not appropriate", and he will return it to Jiang Chan.

"You accept it," Jiang Chan gently pushed her forearm, surprised at her thinness and weakness, "Ning Zhi and I..."

The mysterious pause made Ning Zhi feel slightly nervous, and the lunch box hooked on his fingers shook back and forth.

Jiang Chan pretended not to be annoying, and said with a smile: "We are good friends, please don't see outsiders."
