IHWL – Chapter 80.2

   When Chen Gangyu noticed him looking at her as if she were an enemy, she covered her lips and chuckled: “Teacher Wei Jing, you really think highly of my riding skills. Don’t worry. Even if I catch up with you, I will definitely gently flick my whip, and definitely won’t hurt you!”

    The two of them joked and laughed, completely leaving Zhou Jing hanging on the sidelines.

    However, Zhou Jing did not even pay attention to the attitude of the two. At present, all her focus was on the words of the staff —— he said, the girl was allowed to whip the man?

    With two girls competing, she could also attack Su Jin, couldn’t she?

    Since this was a rule allowed in the competition, she had no problem making reasonable use of it, right? A whip had no eyes. Who could predict where the whip would strike?

    She was so excited that a wave of malice surged upward from the pit of her belly.

    She looked around, searching for Su Jin’s figure: “Huh, where is Miss Su?”

    On cue, the curtain of the tent nearby was lifted, and a proud and upright figure stepped out. The wind was chilly, but the woman’s red dress was as bright as the sun, like an undying flame.

    The red dress, which Zhou Jing disliked as earthy and an eyesore, blended perfectly with Su Jishi’s own temperament. The skirt spread out in layers, and the black leather waistcoat tightly outlined her curves. Moreover, the tip of the cap on top of her head was stuck with a handful of white feathers, making it completely impossible for anyone to take their eyes off of her.

    Everyone in the audience, and even the staff behind the lenses, were all stunned by Su Jishi’s appearance —— One could imagine how many degrees of discussion Su Jin’s red dress in this snow race would generate when this issue aired!

    ……

    Two famous starlets from the capital were going to perform two Girl Chasing here! —— The news soon reached the ears of everyone around. The Winter Fishing Festival had already garnered a lot of traffic, so now people increasingly gathered towards the horse pen. Even the fishermen who were setting up their stalls on the ice all shut their stalls down and went over to watch the fun.

    There were not only ethnic minorities present, but also many Han Chinese, who quickly recognized Su Jin, Qin Qiu and the others. Upon spotting the cameras next to them, they immediately realized that they were recording Wilderness Winners!

    The audience waved their arms in excitement and gave the artists a boost.

    The first game of the match started with Wei Jing and Chen Gangyu.

    The enclosed racecourse was very wide, 800 meters vertically and horizontally. The terrain was flat, but the snow was very thick.

    Wei Jing spurred his horse to run first, followed by Chen Gangyu chasing after him. However, Chen Gangyu’s riding skills were limited. She was also not used to wearing a long skirt while galloping, so she galloped crookedly and slowly. When Wei Jing was galloping toward the end of the fence, she was still prancing around in place!

    Outside the horse pen, the onlookers rang out with good-natured laughter. Hearing this, Chen Gangyu became more anxious. She pulled hard on the reins, but the harder she tried, the more the horse turned in place.

    Wei Jing laughed heartily and deliberately ran back to accompany her in the circle ten meters away from her, mocking her, “Miss Chen, are you a gyroscope reincarnated?”

    In this round, Chen Gangyu didn’t catch up with Wei Jing at all, let alone raise her whip.

    When the two dismounted their horses, they were both tired and sweaty. The frail Chen Gangyu also fell headlong on her assistant’s shoulders and was wrapped tightly in her thick down jacket.

    “It’s much harder than I imagined!” Chen Gangyu made a face at the camera. “I suspect I wasn’t riding a horse, but a donkey. Otherwise, why did it keep spinning in place?”

    After their group finished, the next big event fell on Su Jin and Zhou Jing.

    Before stepping on stage, Xiao Xia followed behind Su Jishi step by step, diligently rubbing her shoulders and pounding her back.

    While Follow PDs weren’t paying attention, she covered Su Jishi’s microphone and whispered, “Sister Su, you should be careful! Zhou Jing is a typical wicked witch in third-rate trash traffic flows. You must not fall into her path!”

    She said worriedly: “Or… Sister Su, let’s not compete! I think President Mu’s father sent her, and certainly not with good intentions! I think we’d better call President Mu.”

    Su Jishi lifted her hand and flicked her forehead, and asked narrowly, “Call Mu Xiulun? Do you think he can insert wings and fly over to catch Zhou Jing right away?”

    “He can…”

    “There’s nothing to be done.” Su Jishi interrupted her, “Mu Xiulun is occupied in his battlefield, and there is no need to distract him; this is my battlefield. Since I took the initiative to invite her to the horse race, then I am sure to win.”

    Su Jishi smiled brilliantly: “Remember, it’s better to personally do things such as ‘face slapping’ than to wait for a man to vent my anger.”

    “…” What could Xiao Xia say except to stuff all her worries back into her stomach?

    ……

    When they learned that the second Girl Chasing was actually to be performed by two female celebrities, a heated discussion immediately erupted from the crowd of spectators.

    Everyone had never seen this kind of competition before and could not help but talk about it. There were even countless people, who raised their cell phones, despite their fingers freezing stiff. They, too, want to live stream this game in their circle of friends on WeChat. 

    On horseback, two equally tall girls, holding the reins, stood at their departure points, with flames flaring in their eyes the moment they collided.

    Zhou Jing said delicately, “Ms. Su, be merciful later.”

    Su Jishi raised her eyebrows: “Merciful? Show mercy to the horse?”

    Not far behind the monitoring screen, the Chief Director and Chief Producer with a few staff members gathered together, muttering at the screen.

    Chief Producer: “Tch, the smell of gunpowder is out now.”

    Director Zheng frowned: “I don’t see the smell of gunpowder. I can only see that Zhou Jing forgot to take brain pills when she came out today.”

    “Oh? How could you tell?”

    Director Zheng knocked on the monitor screen: “Does she have water in her brain? She wore a white dress on this snowy day. How can we shoot her? Look at Chen Gangyu, and then look at Su Jin. They both knew how to pick bright colors to wear. White snow against beauty. How beautiful is that! But she’s quite the maverick. She has to wear a white dress. What? Was she in a hurry to reincarnate, ah?”

    Zhou Jing fell victim to her cleverness. She thought white was pure and elegant, but forgot that the most inappropriate outfit to wear on a snowy day was a white dress. In diffuse reflections, the lenses would be difficult to focus. She originally wanted to take more shots, but her figure was almost lost in the monitoring screen.

    When the Chief Producer heard his old partner getting furious as he raged, he quickly advised: “Take it easy. She’s not worth your anger. Let’s… Ah! She’s off!”

    In the camera, Zhou Jing galloped her horse wildly and soon left Su Jin a long way behind.

    Her riding skills were good. Otherwise she wouldn’t have offered to take part in the game. In just twenty seconds, the horse galloped a long distance forward. And just a hundred meters after she left Su Jin behind, the woman with the red dress finally moved!

    The bay-colored horse was robust and brave, stomping the coldness with its four hooves on the snow.

    Su Jin’s legs clamped down on the horse’s body, crouched down, and spurred the horse to catch up with her.

    Her red dress fluttered like fire, trailing a brilliant arc behind her.

    The mini camera fixed on the head of the bridle was the first to pass a close-up shot of Su Jin back. They only saw her slightly furrowed brow. Palpitating determination was unmistakable between her delicate eyebrows, as her gaze firmly locked on the figure a hundred meters away.

    One hundred meters didn’t sound far, but for two people with comparable riding skills, this hundred meter distance was hard to surpass.

    Fortunately, Su Jishi’s horse riding skills had improved over the years. Besides, she and Linda Hu had a deep tacit understanding that had helped her win the trust of the horse under her.

    Outside the racecourse, cheers soared wave after waves. All the spectators crowded in front of the fence. Whether they knew Su Jin or not, they were cheering for her at this time, hoping she could win beautifully!

    Hoofbeats raced past.

    The snowy ground was so thick that it covered the sound of the horse’s hooves hitting the ground. Zhou Jing ambled on the horse. In addition to the whistling wind in her ears, all she could hear was her own hasty panting.

    Why are the spectators shouting? What are they shouting? Are they shouting Su Jin’s name? Why are people on either side cheering her on, but nobody cast their eyes on me? We’re obviously one of a kind. If not for Mu Xiulun’s support, how could Su Jin be where she is today?!!!

    The jealousy that surged in Zhou Jing’s chest grew stronger and stronger, and in the wake of this jealousy, there was confusion, anxiety, and a deep inferiority complex that she didn’t even notice.

    She raised her whip and struck the horse several times, hoping that the stallion beneath her could shake Su Jin off. However, such a harsh whip not only would make the horse disobedient, but also provoke the horse’s resentment!

    Out of the corner of her eye, Zhou Jing captured that crimson silhouette, who was getting closer and closer to her —— until the two were neck and neck!

    Just an arm’s length away, Su Jin looked sideways at her, with her red lips and black hair. beautiful and bewitching.

    Su Jin did not say a word, but Zhou Jing felt that she was laughing at herself!!!

    Zhou Jing’s paper-thin self-esteem then shattered into powder in that one smile.

    She couldn’t bear it —— and she didn’t want to bear it at all —— She raised her arm and the whip flung through the air in a striking arc!

    But this time, the whip no longer landed on the horse beneath her, but —— toward Su Jin’s shoulder!
