Shen Jinmo has mastered equestrian skills and is the best equestrian among the noble children of Yunzhou. He has participated in many equestrian competitions and won numerous awards.
Ruan Jizhou knew the meaning behind his competition: he wanted to show off his abilities to Lu Zhiwei, completely overwhelm her, and thus gain Lu Zhiwei's admiration.
Ruan Jizhou, who has never been competitive, suddenly found himself wanting to compete with Shen Jinmo today.
Especially just now, during the critical moment when the horse charged towards Lu Zhiwei.
He arrived a step too late.
Just like his appearance order with Lu Zhiwei, he was a step later than Shen Jinmo.
He can get back at the top of his game.
Ruan Jizhou accepted the challenge.
The two of them went together to change into riding clothes and each selected a group of horses they liked from the stables.
Shen Jinmo had a sharp eye and immediately selected a black horse. This horse had strong muscles, powerful legs, and its coat looked smooth and shiny in the sunlight. It was a rare and excellent horse.
Ruan Jizhou chose a dark brown horse; its eyes were bright and expressive, which suited his taste.
Lu Zhiwei, the only spectator and referee, sat under a parasol outside the field, holding two bottles of mineral water in her hands.
The two men leaped onto their horses one after the other, took the reins, and entered the racecourse.
Shen Jinmo glanced at Lu Zhiwei not far away: "Lu Zhiwei, if you win, promise me something?"
Lu Zhiwei waved her hand: "I'm just a spectator, I won't join your betting game."
Why should she have to grant him a request just because he won?
Shen Jingmo pursed his lips and looked at Ruan Jizhou beside him: "Then promise me something?"
Ruan Jizhou held the reins tightly, and the horse he was sitting on kicked its legs in place, eager to rush to the battlefield. "You win first, then we'll talk."
“Winning against you is a piece of cake. Three laps, whoever crosses the finish line first wins.” Shen Jinmo smiled confidently.
"no problem."
The competition has begun.
Two tall men were riding horses across the racetrack.
Shen Jinmo's choice was indeed excellent; once it crossed the finish line, it left Ruan Jizhou far behind like a whirlwind.
Ruan Jizhou made steady progress, catching up to Shen Jinmo in the third lap, where he was less than half a meter away.
Lu Zhiwei sat on the bench, glancing at the two strong figures on the horse track, and nervously stood up.
Just then, the black horse was about to cross the finish line.
Shen Jinmo quickly pulled on the reins, bringing the horse to a stop.
His tall body suddenly tumbled off the horse.
"Shen Jinmo—" Ruan Jizhou ultimately failed to cross the finish line, hurriedly dismounted, and ran to him.
Lying on the ground, Shen Jinmo gazed at the boundless blue sky. The blinding sunlight covered him, sweat dripped down his forehead, and his pale face was contorted in pain.
Lu Zhiwei arrived shortly afterward.
Seeing Lu Zhiwei's face, Shen Jinmo grinned and said, "You're still worried about me, aren't you?"
"..." Lu Zhiwei was utterly speechless.
She and Ruan Jizhou almost thought someone was going to die.
He deliberately fell off his horse to test whether she was still worried about him.
“If you die here, Zhou Yan will bear some responsibility. Don’t hurt yourself and others,” Lu Zhiwei scolded him.
Shen Jinmo, who had collapsed to the ground, clutched his aching leg and curled up in pain.
He wasn't lying.
I lied to avoid making her worry too much.
I ran too fast when I ran to save Lu Zhiwei and pulled her horse, and the fracture site started hurting again.
"But you can't just stand by and watch someone die, can you?" Shen Jinmo took a while to recover, but still couldn't get up from the ground on his own.
Ruan Jizhou squatted down, lifted his trouser leg, and checked his ankle. The area where he had previously fractured his ankle was quite swollen.
Lu Zhiwei was puzzled; so much time had passed, why was his leg still not getting better?
Could it be from just now?
"Should I call an ambulance?" Ruan Jizhou helped him up from the ground and helped him sit down on a bench not far away.
"No need, I need to go to Lu Family Hospital for treatment. Miss Lu, please drive me there." Shen Jinmo stared intently at Lu Zhiwei.
Even knowing that she is now pregnant with Ruan Jizhou's child, he will still pursue her relentlessly until the very end.
The resort is far from the city center, and it would take almost an hour and a half for an ambulance to make a round trip.
Ruan Jizhou looked at him: "Why do you insist on going to Lu Family Hospital? Don't you have a grudge against the Lu family? Aren't you afraid that Uncle Lu will use his personal grudge to have someone treat you to death?"
"His death will just drag the Lu family down with him," Shen Jinmo said expressionlessly.
Both of them knew Shen Jinmo too well; they knew he was a difficult person to deal with and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, regardless of which hospital he went to.
They helped him into the back seat of the car.
Ruan Jizhou got into the driver's seat, and Lu Zhiwei naturally opened the car door and got into the passenger seat.
Sitting alone in the back seat, Shen Jinmo felt extremely uncomfortable: "I need someone to take care of me. Someone come and sit in the back."
His eyes were fixed on Lu Zhiwei, and under the guise of saving her, he practically begged her to take care of him.
Lu Zhiwei ignored him and sat calmly in the passenger seat. "Never mind him, drive."
Ruan Jizhou started the car, left the resort, and headed towards the city.
Shen Jinmo leaned back in the back seat, staring at the two people in the front seat who were chatting casually, completely ignoring him and treating him like air.
The air pressure inside the carriage was getting lower and lower.
"I want some water," Shen Jinmo suddenly said.
Lu Zhiwei took an unopened bottle from the side of the car door and threw it into the back seat.
"Turn it on for me!" Shen Jinmo said again.
"Your leg is injured, not your hand." The famously good-tempered Ruan Jizhou couldn't hold back any longer than Lu Zhiwei. He pulled the car over to the side of the road and turned around to glare at him.
"I like drinking water that someone else has opened for me." Shen Jinmo handed the water back to me.
Lu Zhiwei took the bottle of water.
Shen Jinmo raised the corners of his lips, thinking that Lu Zhiwei really felt sorry for him.
The next second, Lu Zhiwei unscrewed the water bottle and held it to Ruan Jizhou's lips: "Someone doesn't look thirsty, you drink it."
There was no reason for Ruan Jizhou to refuse water offered to him. He took the water, sipped it, and found the sweet and refreshing water cool and pleasant as it went down his throat. "Sweet~"
Shen Jinmo, sitting in the back seat, turned pale.
Not only did I not get any water, I also ended up feeling very angry.
We finally arrived at Lujia Hospital.
A CT scan revealed that the fracture site had split open further and showed signs of inflammation and swelling, requiring emergency hospitalization.
After completing the hospitalization procedures, Ruan Jizhou and Lu Zhiwei prepared to leave together.
Shen Jinmo had no intention of letting Lu Zhiwei go: "I need someone to stay with me."
Ruan Jizhou: "I've already called Shen Jiarui. He's sent someone from the Shen family to take care of you. We have other things to do, so we'll be leaving now."
Lu Zhiwei and Ruan Jizhou had just entered the elevator.
Xia Wanying stepped out of the elevator shortly after, found Shen Jinmo's room number, and went to his room.
Upon seeing that it was Xia Wanying who had come, Shen Jinmo pulled the blanket over himself, turned his back to her, and asked, "Who sent you?"
Xia Wanying stood in front of the hospital bed. "Jia Rui asked me to come. I don't have much to do at home. You used to take care of me, but now it's my turn to take care of you."
