Chapter 55
Ye Tianhui took the King of Hell away. Before leaving, she gave the butcher enough compensation and medical expenses and expressed her apology.
After leaving the slaughterhouse, the King of Hell was still in a bad mental state. It was obvious that it had suffered great mental damage and needed to recover.
Ye Tianhui understood that the person it was most familiar with was comforting it by its side, and that person should be Lao Zhou.
Sun Jiajing looked for Lao Zhou everywhere, but no one knew where Lao Zhou had gone. Seeing this, Ye Tianhui asked him to look for him near the slaughterhouse, and finally found Lao Zhou at a garbage station.
He had been drinking, his face was flushed, and his eyes were staring straight towards the slaughterhouse.
He was poor and destitute, with no way to change the fate of the King of Hell, nor could he accept the fate of the King of Hell being slaughtered. He could only hide in a nearby garbage dump, waiting for the final fate of the King of Hell.
When Sun Jiajing found Lao Zhou, he was trembling and curled up in a tattered wooden box.
Sun Jiajing rushed over and grabbed Lao Zhou's shoulders. "Lao Zhou, Lao Zhou, there's hope! The King of Hell is saved!"
But Lao Zhou seemed not to hear it. His arms, shoulders, and teeth were all trembling.
The trembling was the same as that of the King of Hell who was hit.
Sun Jiajing pulled his face up and yelled at him, "Someone has bought Hell King and won't be slaughtering him. You can continue to be a horse trainer and train Hell King! There's hope now. Wake up the fucking hell!"
Old Zhou seemed to have finally listened, and there was a glimmer of light in his dull eyes.
He frowned, not quite understanding, and said, "What's going on?"
Sun Jiajing shouted, "Someone saw the potential of the Hell King and bought him. Do you understand? And you will be asked to continue taking care of him! You have to take good care of him! He doesn't have to die! He doesn't have to die!"
Old Zhou suddenly understood, and he grabbed Sun Jiajing's arm, squeezing it so hard that it hurt.
He gritted his teeth: "Really, really?"
Sun Jiajing: "Follow me!"
He simply pulled him up, almost half-dragged him, and took him to see the King of Hell.
Then Lao Zhou saw the King of Hell. It was obvious that this young horse was actually very frightened after tormenting everyone.
Now when it sees Lao Zhou, it is like a child who has suffered a great injustice seeing his relative, with eyes full of grievance and unwillingness.
Old Zhou walked forward quickly, stretched out his trembling hands, and held the face of the King of Hell.
The King of Hell looked at him with a look of attachment in his eyes.
Tears suddenly fell from Lao Zhou's eyes. He hugged the horse's face, pressed his own against it, and murmured, "You are still alive, you are still alive, I am alive too, we are all alive."
After the man and the horse released and calmed down their emotions, Sun Jiajing took Lao Zhou to meet Ye Tianhui.
Lao Zhou was actually very surprised. He knew the character of the King of Hell best. It was the king from hell. It never submitted and almost no rider could ride on its back!
And Ye Tianhui actually rode on the back of the furious King of Hell and even calmed it down. This sounded incredible to him.
But when he saw Ye Tianhui, he understood.
He met this girl and watched her video footage.
He had watched the video of her jumping to save Lin Jianquan many times and pondered it many times.
This must not be an ordinary person.
At this time, Ye Tianhui spoke: "Old Zhou, you have seen the King of Hell, right?"
Old Zhou nodded: "Yes."
He sighed, "When the King of Hell was born, I was the one who delivered him. He was very stupid at first, extremely stupid. His horse legs were like crutches. He was also timid, with blinking eyes and afraid of everything."
Pain welled up in his eyes. "I don't know why it has come to this. This is my fault. I didn't raise it well. I spoiled it."
Having said that, he took a step back and fell to his knees with a thud.
Assistant Yang next to him looked at it in surprise, somewhat confused.
Old Zhou knelt on the ground and looked at Ye Tianhui pleadingly: "Miss Ye, please help me, help the Hell King. You bought it, you must save it!"
Ye Tianhui looked at Lao Zhou and said expressionlessly, "I heard you were a soldier?"
Sadness filled Old Zhou's old eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."
Ye Tianhui asked, "Have you ever been to the north? The north of the mainland? For example, Beijing?"
Old Zhou was a little confused. He shook his head: "No."
Ye Tianhui looked at the lush greenery beside her and said, "In the north, the autumn wind has already started to blow at this time. The wind there is not as gentle as the wind in Hong Kong. There, the autumn wind blows, and the leaves fall to the ground in a rustling manner, and soon there are dead leaves all over the ground."
She smiled and said, "Seasons are seasons, and reincarnation is reincarnation. This is the life and death, sorrow and joy of a leaf. No one can change it."
As Lao Zhou listened, the confusion in his eyes gradually became clearer: "I think I understand."
Ye Tianhui: "Every leaf has its own reincarnation, and every horse has its own destiny."
If a horse is born in the wild, it must learn to run and forage, and must avoid the claws and fangs of jackals and wild beasts. If it is born in a human horse farm, it must understand what obedience and honor are, and must learn to prove its value to the world.
Survival of the fittest, this is the rule of the world.
She raised her hand and held Lao Zhou's hand.
Lao Zhou's hands are covered with cracks and his nails are full of dirt. These are hands that deal with hay and horse manure every day.
Ye Tianhui's hands were clean, slender, and her nails were neatly trimmed.
Old Zhou looked at the hands covering his own, then he raised his eyes and slowly looked at Ye Tianhui.
So he looked into Ye Tianhui's eyes.
Those were a pair of eyes as clear as the autumn sky, without a single flaw, crystal clear, yet calm to the extreme.
He looked at her and heard her finally speak: "You used to be a soldier. You have the ability to train horses. You can obviously make a living with your skills. You can use your own ability to train the King of Hell. You can obviously change yourself. Why are you kneeling here and begging me?"
Old Zhou looked at her in a daze.
Ye Tianhui exerted force on her hands and pulled Lao Zhou up.
Then, she looked at Old Zhou who had stood up and said, "I don't want to see a soldier kneeling here to beg for mercy for such a trivial matter. Whether it's a person or a horse, no one can beg for someone else's help to survive. There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Every bite of food and nourishment that keeps you alive must be earned by yourself."
Old Zhou was slightly shocked when he heard this.
He raised his cloudy eyes and looked at the girl in front of him.
She is cold and sharp, yet seems to have a hint of warmth.
Her words brought back his past memories, those passionate memories of his youth.
He was once a soldier and fought to protect his homeland!
Now he was kneeling here, begging for mercy and a chance of survival.
He slowly clenched his fists.
Seeing him like this, Ye Tianhui knew that he understood.
She slowed her voice. "Now, I've bought Hell King and become his master. I must tell you, I'm not a harsh person, but I'm definitely not a tolerant one either. I need him to be trained according to my plan. I need him to change, to cheer him up, to tap into his talents, and to let him show his prowess on the racetrack."
Tears welled up in Lao Zhou's eyes as he spoke word by word, "I understand. I will let the King of Hell know what it should do. I also believe—"
He paused, then gritted his teeth and said, "I believe it was born extraordinary. It can definitely make everyone understand that even if it falls into the abyss of hell, it can still climb up and become the king of the racetrack."
**************
Gu Shizhang meant to transfer Longguang to Ye Tianhui, but Ye Tianhui felt that a famous horse like Longguang was too valuable. She just wanted to borrow it to get through this competition and did not want to keep it for herself.
However, Gu Shizhang was very stubborn. "If my friends ask about it later, I'll need a reason to register it directly in your name. From now on, the horse's food, drink, defecation and urination will all depend on you. You can earn money to take good care of it, and I won't have to deal with all the social etiquette. Otherwise, I will always be embarrassed to explain to my friends."
Ye Tianhui thought about it and it made sense, but she quickly remembered that she already had a horse named Teng Yunwu, and if she added another horse named Long Guang, it would be quite a pressure to raise two horses.
Naturally, she also considered registering the two horses with the horse management company, but public and private matters must be clearly distinguished. Moreover, if Lu Guang achieved some success, the bonus would be embarrassing.
After the final discussion, Longguang was registered under Ye Tianhui's name, and Ye Tianhui would pay all the raising and training expenses, and the bonus would also belong to Ye Tianhui. However, in terms of honor, Longguang would fight on behalf of Ye's Horse Service Company. Once he achieved something, the Horse Service Company would also give Longguang a certain reward.
Things became easy after the deal was settled. Gu Shizhang immediately accompanied Ye Tianhui to complete the transfer procedures for Longguang and registered Longguang under Ye Tianhui's name.
As a result, Ye Tianhui had four horses under her command that needed to be managed, Teng Yunwu and Long Guang, which were registered under her own name, and Black Rose and Hell King, which belonged to the horse service company.
These four horses, Black Rose and Hell King, were paid for by the horse service company, and the other two were paid for by Ye Tianhui herself.
Ye Tianhui calculated the accounts and found that the Ye family would give her some pocket money, and she would rent out the house in Causeway Bay. This way, she could barely break even, but it would be a little tight.
After finishing the formalities that day, Gu Shizhang took Ye Tianhui to his home to watch horse racing videos together.
He said, "Actually, if you're having trouble making ends meet, just let me know. I've made a good income in England this time, and I can lend it to you without charging you interest."
Ye Tianhui smiled and said, "Longguang is so valuable, and you have already given it to me for free. I am still thinking about how to repay you, so I dare not lend you money."
When she said this, Gu Shizhang was helping her squeeze juice.
He turned around and glanced at her calmly: "You don't have to feel so guilty. If you break up with me in the future, just return the horse to me."
Ye Tianhui raised an eyebrow: "Are you already thinking about asking for the gift back after breaking up?"
Gu Shizhang smiled and said, "If we can get married without breaking up, this horse will be considered as a betrothal gift."
Ye Tianhui snorted: "Do you think I don't know? You are very rich. If you want to marry me, the betrothal gift is only a horse? I won't do it!"
Gu Shizhang turned his head, his gaze lingering on her face for a few seconds before he said, "What else do you want? Open up the bill and I'll see if I can afford it."
Ye Tianhui held her chin up, her eyes smiling: "It's too far away for me to think about it. Now, make me something delicious first."
She smiled and ordered, "I want steak, medium rare. Cook it for me."
She added, "I'm thirsty. Give me the juice first. I want to drink it."
Gu Shizhang felt helpless when he heard this: "You are really ordering me around now."
As he said that, he handed her the glass of juice.
Ye Tianhui took the juice and tasted it happily: "Because I think you can do it, and you cook it deliciously."
She sighed with satisfaction: "Who told you to be Gu Shizhang, right?"
Gu Shizhang looked at her with a smile. After drinking the juice, her lips became moist and shiny.
She was a little bit of a spoiled child and gradually became spoiled in front of him.
But he liked it very much.
She had every reason to be a little naughty with him, and he liked her like that.
He smiled and said, "I understand your flattery. Go watch the video first. I'll do it later."
Ye Tianhui went straight to the study to watch the videotapes, but in her mind she was thinking about how Gu Shizhang had looked just now.
He is mature, gentle, knowledgeable, experienced, and rich, so he can easily buy himself a valuable BMW.
The key is that he is also considerate and meticulous to himself, always taking care of every one of his feelings.
For example, now, she is here drinking juice and watching videos, while he is busy washing her hands and making soup for her.
Such a man is really perfect, so perfect that he deserves a score of 120.
If it weren't for all those things in her previous life, she would have been very content.
As for now, when she thought that he was just him, she didn't know what to think. Should she feel more satisfied?
It feels pretty good to see the once mysterious emperor courting me and the cold and proud man bowing to me.
Is it possible that he is pretending?
But no matter whether it is true or not, even if he has ten thousand schemes and plans, she has enjoyed it first.
If he can pretend forever, that's fine!
************
Ye Tianhui watched the video material in the study for a while. It was about horse training, which naturally contained some advanced international concepts. Ye Tianhui had read the book before and was already very clear about it, but now watching the video naturally had different feelings.
In fact, she already had some ideas about the training of those horses, but they were not yet finalized and still needed to be discussed with the trainer. Now, after watching the video, she had some new ideas.
She paused and went to find Gu Shizhang.
Gu Shizhang was frying steak in the kitchen. When he saw her coming, he looked up at her and said with a smile, "It will be ready soon."
Ye Tianhui looked at the man. He was wearing a gray shirt, looking very casual and unconcerned. His sleeves were loosely rolled up, revealing his strong and powerful forearms. He looked very homely, but also neat and handsome.
Although it was autumn, the kitchen was still somewhat stuffy and beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
She saw a tissue nearby, so she took it out and went over to wipe his sweat.
Gu Shizhang didn't expect her to come over suddenly, and the fragrance filled his nose. He turned his head to look over, and their eyes suddenly met.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the kitchen changed.
Then the eagerness lurking in my heart came to the surface.
Ye Tianhui blinked, playing hard to get: "Then I'll go out."
Gu Shizhang raised his hand and turned off the fire, but his eyes never left Ye Tianhui.
He looked at her and whispered, "It will be ready soon. I'll accompany you—"
Halfway through his words, he leaned down, held the back of her head, and pressed his lips down to kiss her.
Ye Tianhui was very obedient and did not resist at all. She tilted her face up to accept his kiss and even automatically pressed her lips against his.
The way she actively asked for a kiss made Gu Shizhang a little unbearable. He held her chin with his thumb and changed the angle, trying to possess her more deeply and taste her.
After a long time, Gu Shizhang was afraid that she could not breathe and wanted to separate, but Ye Tianhui still held his lips tightly, looking very greedy, and her eyes were explicit and bold.
Gu Shizhang lowered his head, and the two of them touched noses and foreheads.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Eat first, then I'll kiss you after dinner."
Ye Tianhui's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, sparkling and watery.
She looked at him: "But I just want to eat you."
This is so blunt...
Gu Shizhang's throat made a vague and difficult rolling sound.
He held her face, his eyes focused, but his voice was calm: "Do you know what you mean by saying this?"
Ye Tianhui licked her lips innocently: "Maybe I'm hungry."
She is so straightforward and attractive, without any twists and turns!
Gu Shizhang took a deep breath and lowered his head to kiss her forehead, nose, and lips.
He admitted that he was a little unbearably aroused by her and could only use this action to relieve himself.
He kissed her like this for a long time before stopping.
He soothingly used his thumb to gently stroke her lips that he had kissed. Her lips were red and looked a little pitiful, as if they had been kissed passionately.
He then thought of Ye Lixuan. No wonder Ye Lixuan was so wary of him.
Maybe Ye Lixuan saw Ye Tianhui after she returned home that night, and as a father, he couldn't accept it.
He thought of Ye Bubian in his previous life again. If it weren't for Ye Bubian's dissuasion, how far would he and Ye Tianhui have gone?
Sometimes I hate Ye Bubian.
But he suppressed all these thoughts and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, it's time to eat."
Ye Tianhui was a little disappointed.
Her seduction failed, does that mean she has no charm at all?
But it’s no big deal, there’s still a long way to go.
She can tame horses and wield swords, so she must be able to conquer a man's heart - and of course, his body as well.
