Chapter 134: Riding a Horse Together

"Ah!" Qin Huo cried out in a weak voice, then lay on the ground motionless.

Tianbao was frightened and tightened the reins and turned back.

Before the horse could stand still, she couldn't wait to jump off. Fortunately, she had some experience in martial arts, so she didn't sprain her ankle and fall. "Brother Huo, are you okay?"

"Something's wrong." The boy said solemnly, looking at his feet, "It hurts a little."

He didn't say where it hurt, but his words and actions made Tianbao mistakenly think it was his ankle, and he quickly reached out to help him take off his boots: "Let me see!"

Qin Huo quickly grabbed her wrist and said, "It's okay. You can walk. But the horse ran away, so I have to walk back."

As he spoke, he stood up and took two steps. Indeed, there was nothing unusual about him.

Tian Bao tried to pull her hand away imperceptibly, but he immediately stumbled, tightly grasping her delicate arm for leverage, frowning and saying, "I didn't mean to be so close to you. I'm sorry."

As he spoke, he pretended to be "strong" and took his hand away, but his brows were furrowed even deeper, as if he was feeling uncomfortable but had to endure it.

Tianbao sighed softly and took the initiative to help him: "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"

Qin Huo touched his chest and said, "It feels sore and swollen here, and occasionally a little painful, as if something is blocking it."

Tian Bao said solemnly, "Did you hurt your internal organs? Let's go back and find the doctor for a checkup."

Qin Huo nodded, looked at the only horse and said, "You ride, I'll walk."

"No, you are injured, of course you can ride!" Tianbao stuffed the reins into his hands without any negotiation.

Qin Huo looked over gloomily: "If you don't ride, how can I ride? We'll ride a long way, I'm afraid you won't be able to walk."

Tian Bao pondered for a while and came up with an idea: "Then... I'll ride back and find someone to pick you up?"

Qin Huo was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood. What a stupid person she was! Couldn't she just invite him to ride on the same horse?

But Qin Huo didn't show it on the surface. Instead, he asked back aggrievedly, "Are you going to leave me here alone? What if... I pass out, can you still find me?"

Tianbao is directionally challenged and has no sense of direction, so Qin Huo said that.

As expected, Tian Bao hesitated. After ruling out these possibilities, she said, "Then you ride first. When I get tired, we can switch."

"Can't we just ride together?" Qin Huo really couldn't be persuaded anymore, and he gritted his teeth. It was really a rotten tree that couldn't be carved, and he was so angry!

Tianbao was stunned, and suddenly remembered the storybook he had just read two days ago. The little wife and the prince rode a horse together. The little wife's back was resting in the prince's arms. The prince held the reins, and his arms were caressingly around her slender waist.

When she imagined that she and Qin Huo were in the same situation, a strange sense of shame passed through her heart and her body went numb.

He treated her as his sister, but she had lustful thoughts about him. Tian Bao hurriedly said, "Isn't that a bit too bad?"

Qin Huo's face darkened. "At a time like this, you're still adhering to your rule of no physical contact between men and women. If it's really that awkward, wouldn't you just think of me as your fairy sister? This is just a temporary solution. What are you holding back on?"

Tian Bao's face turned red and white after being scolded by him. She also felt that she was being too hypocritical, so she said, "Okay! Don't delay, let's ride together!"

After a while, Qin Huo sat on the horse with a dead heart, his mouth twitching slightly: "Are you sure you want to ride like this?"

On horseback, the young man held the reins in his front hand, and the girl sat behind him, pulling his robe at the waist, politely.

Qin Huo sighed silently. He really missed the little kid who always wanted to hold his hand and even took the initiative to sleep on the same bed with him. Now, it was almost impossible to even hold his hand, let alone hold him in his arms.

He hadn't really fallen off the horse just now; he had done it on purpose, and the horse had been scared away by him pinching it before he fell. He had done this so deliberately just to ride with her and take the opportunity to strengthen their relationship.

Alas, after all her planning, she turned out to be a complete fool.

Qin Huo shook his head in self-mockery and galloped away on his horse.

The girl behind him held onto his robe tightly. After all, it was his first time riding a horse like this, and he was very nervous, feeling like he would fall off the horse at any moment.

The road was quite flat when we rode here, but it was extremely bumpy when we rode back to the city.

Tianbao secretly had a headache. Sitting at the back, he couldn't control the horse. It was indeed different from riding by himself. He never wanted to ride a horse with anyone else again.

Just as he was daydreaming, the horse suddenly slowed down, and Tianbao couldn't help but bump into Qin Huo's back, with his head, face, chest... all pressed against each other perfectly.

The boy's body went numb, and he used all his strength to steady his voice: "You can hold my waist. Maybe the horse is upset because we are a little heavy together."

Tian Bao held his waist and came back to her senses. She rubbed her nose which hurt from the collision and whimpered, "Why is your back so stiff? It hurts so much."

Qin Huo felt his head tingle at her coquettish tone. He resisted the urge to turn around and hug her. He apologized softly, "It's my fault. I'll grow some more flesh in the future so that it won't hurt when you bump into me."

Tianbao's half-open mouth closed awkwardly.

Since he said so, how could she complain?

"Hold on tight!" The young man didn't give her a chance to breathe and suddenly accelerated.

The girl behind him leaned back and almost fell down. She subconsciously grabbed Qin Huo's robe and said, "Qin Huo!"

She was really a little angry, but more scared.

Qin Huo smiled, then suddenly stopped his horse. The girl bumped into his back again, causing him to feel distracted again.

After calming down, he turned to look at Tian Bao, his eyes drooping in grievance: "I asked you to hold my waist, why are you so stubborn? Or you can sit in the front, so that you can return to the palace to find the imperial physician as soon as possible."

Tianbao's anger was extinguished in an instant, and was replaced by a feeling of guilt.

She also felt that she was being too hypocritical. After weighing the pros and cons, she decided to sit in the front. She didn't want to hug his waist actively. She said strangely, "Then I'll sit in the front."

Qin Huo's eyes flashed with a smug joy of success. Seeing that she was about to dismount, he turned sideways and put his arm around her waist: "No need to be so troublesome."

The girl's scream was still stuck in her throat when he spun her around like a swallow, safely embracing her in front of him. Luckily, she knew how to cooperate, instinctively straddling her legs and sitting properly.

Her back was ironed in the boy's warm arms, and his arms were wrapped around her sides, holding the reins.

Tianbao felt like a little kangaroo crawling into his mother's pouch, but his heart was beating too fast, and it seemed like it would jump out of his throat at any time.

She must have been frightened when he carried her to the front just now!

The boy's hot breath kept spraying on the top of her head and the skin around her eyes. Because of her nervousness, this touch was amplified a thousand times. Tian Bao was so nervous that her palms were sweating. She tried to press them against her waist to prevent Qin Huo from hugging her waist.

He was so hot, like a ball of fire.

The absent-minded Qin Huo looked down at her from time to time, feeling very happy with her soft fragrance in his arms.

For the short distance before, he sped up and slowed down, and had to control the pace to prevent her from falling off the horse. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating. Now it was finally her turn, right?

The blush on her face persisted. This was...

Are you shy or are you moved?
