Chapter 310 - 291: Night Shades-IV

The gust of wind became faster over her face, ruffling the hair she had kept neat by bridging it in the morning as the wind hits against the black strands. It felt frightening with her mind filled with the thought they would have to jump with the horse.

Li Lian recalled how once there was a time when she was still studying how to ride on a horse and the stableman who had taught her seemed to dragged his legs each time he walked. Curious little Li Lian couldn't help but inquire what happened to the stableman's legs to receive his words of how he had once tried to ride a horse when suddenly without reason, it became agitated and threw him away from the mount. As if not enough, then the stableman was kicked by the horse's powerful legs leaving his leg unable to heal properly.

A gunfight was still far better, thought Li Lian to herself.

It didn't make sense how a fight where one could die would be better but Li Lian was more sied with fighting with her life on line than the horses. Perhaps if she was brought in a normal house she would have thought otherwise.

"Open your eyes, Li Lian, you'll miss the best thing you could ever see." whispered Li Jun Wei sweetly, coaxing her to open her eyes and when she did, Li Lian watched how the view around her was too fast for her to catch. Only a passing green color was able to be catch by her eyes the rest she didn't know when she felt elevated from the ground and the hooves clicked again to the ground.

After the first jump, the stallion braced for the second one and jumped again to ran on the ground. Li Jun Wei thought two was enough for her first time. He doesn't want Li Lian to not want ride a horse again with him when it felt good to ride the horse with her.

When the horse finally arrived at a saver place, Li Lian huffed for breaths, her black eyes wide while her hair was ruffled over her head. She looked surprised before her smile broke to her lips.

Li Lian turned her head at the man sitting beside her. "Once again!" She said eagerly, requesting Li Jun Wei to jump with the horse again as before was too short for her to feel.

"Don't you feel scared?" He asked her, his lips twisting to a smile.

"At first but it was exciting one more time," Li Lian requested him, her eyes crinkling with sparkles.

"How could I reject your adorable wish?" Li Jun Wei asked her with a smile and his lips pressed on hers daintily. "We could do more than one more time." A borderline meaning was underlaid in his words that Li Lian didn't notice.

Naively, Li Lian nodded her head, bringing it up and down as Li Jun Wei pulled the rein of his stallion to start the horse to gallop in the track again.

Above the floor, Madam and Master Li stood near the glass window after letting the relatives inside the house. Their eyes were on Li Lian and Li Jun Wei having fun while riding the horse. With her gaze on the couple, Master Li was the first one to ask, "What did you find from Li Lian?" asked the old man.

"She is a kind girl albeit a little curious." replied Madam Li with a smile, "Li Lian took care of Jun Wei well and it didn't seem like they were in relationship with terms. She loves Jun Wei a lot."

Master Li hummed at his wife's words, "You've never observe wrong. What make you think she is curious? Is it a dangerous one?" His eyes shifted from the couple in the horse track to his wife standing on his left.

"I can't tell well. Upon seeing the album more than fascinations and eagerness, there was also this silence sequence she took as if to think." Madam Li nodded and turned her head at Master Li, "But her words are all genuine."

"Let's hope that they would be okay." Master Li rubbed his wife's back as the elderly couple led the place. As they walked they stopped in front of the window, the same large window where Li Jun Wei was involved in an accident.

"We should have moved from this house." said Madam Li with her expression gloom while staring at the glass. "Do you think Xiao Chen is really attacked?"

"Jun Wei didn't tell me yet. But it put the question in me why was Xiao Chen there." Master Li asserted, bringing his wife away from the glass window.

Madam Li frowned, "Because he needed something?"

"That is what is strange. Xiao Chen doesn't have any business there and he wasn't someone who is curious. I'm guessing it's Jun Wei. The two of them are searching for something." and saying that Master Li's eyes at Madam Li hardened. They both didn't say anything until in the silence Master Li said, "We will need to stop them."

Back in the horse track, Li Lian with the help of Li Jun Wei hold her steps on the ground, her smile was wide at the exhilarating emotions she felt while riding the horse that's he could still hear her heart drumming from the excitement.

"How did it feel?" asked Li Jun Wei who had also went down from the stallion. His hand held the rope tied to bring the stallion back to the stable where Li Lian finally took a rest.

"It was fun."

"Isn't it?" asked Linyue who had also went down from her mare. Her steps quicken toward Li Lian, "At first it was frightening but then it became exciting, right?" Li Lian nodded in agreement to the woman's words that describe what she felt. "We should try something different next time!" encouraged Linyue who then turned her face at the house behind her for her lips to curl.

"I don't think Suzheng would be back home." Hearing the words, Li Lian felt a stab in her heart, worried on the woman's stead and felt guilty even though she didn't do anything.
