"Yes, it feels like there's more and more rain." As soon as Uncle Qin Ji said that, he quickly reached out to test it. In fact, even without him saying it, they could see the raindrops getting thicker and hear the rain getting louder.
A manager ran over from a short distance away. "Miss Jin, this rain is a thunderstorm. It's going to thunder soon, and the horses are easily startled. Let's hurry and find shelter from the rain."
"Scared? My sister and they are still competing! Quickly send someone to find them and bring them back!" Jin Fuyuan immediately realized what was going on. Hearing him say this, the people around him did not dare to be negligent and immediately went to find them.
They arrived a bit late.
The three competitors had reached the furthest bend, and Xu Zhaoyue was already in the lead, with raindrops already hitting her face.
"Hey! Looks like you're pretty good." Jin Fuzhu shouted loudly. "You're the weakest." Qin Jixiang was about to surpass Xu Zhaoyue, so he was in the mood to answer her.
Just then, Xu Zhaoyue faintly heard thunder. "I heard thunder! Let's stop slowly, or the horse might get startled," she called back to the two of them.
"Are you scared? There's thunder over there, I'm going to speed up." Qin Jixiang looked at the distance that was almost within reach, and raised his whip to crack it again, just as a clap of thunder struck.
The sound of the two sounds mixed together startled Qin Jixiang. She instinctively tried to tighten the reins, but the horse was already frightened and went even faster than before.
"Don't pull the rope! Quickly lie down on the horse so you don't fall off!" Xu Zhaoyue saw Qin Jixiang dash past her and quickly told her to protect herself before spurring her horse to catch up.
As Xu Zhaoyue chased after him, she didn't forget to tell Jin Fuzhu behind her, "Stop running, get off your horse quickly."
Upon hearing her call, Jin Fuzhu immediately complied. She watched in the rain as Xu Zhaoyue caught up with Qin Jixiang, and beyond that, she could only hear the sound and not see the image.
"Quick, give me your hand!" Xu Zhaoyue positioned herself next to Qin Jixiang and then extended her hand to her.
"No, no, I'm scared, someone please save me!" Qin Jixiang didn't dare to reach out, still clinging tightly to the horse's neck. Her voice trembled as her chest heaved violently.
"You really are..." Xu Zhaoyue said resentfully, then urged her horse to get closer to Qin Jixiang.
Although it was daytime, the heavy rain had already blinded her. Xu Zhaoyue thought for a moment and decided to save Qin Jixiang. She had to control the horse when it started to throw people off.
"Lie down properly. Give me the rope!" Xu Zhaoyue pressed herself against the horse's back, holding her own reins with one hand and reaching for the reins in Qin Jixiang's hand with the other.
"Ahhhh, what are you doing? Leave me alone, I'm scared." Qin Jixiang had no strength left in his hands, and Xu Zhaoyue took the rope away.
It takes courage to do this. Xu Zhaoyue thought that she was the one who called Qin Jixiang out, so she felt that she had to take responsibility for this. She took a deep breath and switched places with Qin Jixiang on his horse.
Qin Jixiang felt someone creeping up behind her, and her heart skipped a beat. She thought to herself that this person was really loyal, but the two of them were going to die here together. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became, and she burst into tears.
Tears and rainwater were indistinguishable. Qin Jixiang's sobs reached Xu Zhaoyue's ears, which annoyed her. "Stop crying, nothing has happened yet."
Xu Zhaoyue's words were based on facts; she had already begun to control the horse, but Qin Jixiang was too frightened to notice.
"Miss Jin, Miss Qin, where are you?" someone called from ahead.
"Here! The horse was startled but has been brought under control," Xu Zhaoyue quickly replied.
"Quickly, get off first." Xu Zhaoyue had to get off first so that Qin Jixiang could get off his horse. "Are you alright? Is your hand injured?" Seven or eight people surrounded them to check their injuries.
"What happened to your hand?" someone shouted, and everyone quickly made way for them. The rain hit the wound, and Xu Zhaoyue instinctively wanted to clench her fist. "It hurts."
But the person checking her injuries held her hand, preventing her from moving. "Don't move, quickly open the umbrella, I'll give her some basic treatment first." Then they patiently comforted Xu Zhaoyue, "Don't be afraid, let me clean you up first."
"Okay, right, there's still one person over there." Xu Zhaoyue pointed out Jin Fuzhu's location to them, which gave them a reminder, and they quickly sent two people to find Jin Fuzhu.
"Cough cough cough, you scared me to death! Why did you take so long to arrive? Don't you know you can't ride horses in this weather?" Qin Jixiang, having recovered from his initial shock, grabbed the people next to him and started scolding them.
But none of the people she was scolding dared to respond. It was Xu Zhaoyue who couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop her, "Shut up! You're making my ears hurt."
When Qin Jixiang heard these words, her first thought was to curse back, but after turning around and seeing who said it, she immediately became obedient. Upon seeing the blood on her hands, she immediately ran over, crawling over the two or three steps.
"You...it hurts, doesn't it?" Qin Jixiang looked at the wound on Xu Zhaoyue's hand. It was hard to imagine that such a beautiful hand had just saved her. Her hand was bleeding from the wound. Qin Jixiang wanted to reach out and touch it, but was afraid of touching the wound, so she withdrew her hand.
"It hurts." Xu Zhaoyue was very direct, showing no intention of comforting Qin Jixiang. Qin Jixiang was clearly taken aback, because she had expected Xu Zhaoyue to say that she was fine.
Qin Jixiang remained silent for a while, but her guilt finally made her ask, "You love me... why did you save me?"
Xu Zhaoyue detected a hint of awkwardness in his tone. "Why can't I save you? I'm your savior now, after all. How can you talk to your savior like that?"
