Shadow of Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 77 Riding a Horse
The howling wind was like a surging tide, rushing in wave after wave.

An Xiaoqian's delicate cheeks also appeared slightly red due to the rushing wind.

There was a glint of excitement in her eyes, and she lightly squeezed the horse's belly with her feet, and the horse rushed forward like an arrow.

An Xiaoqian accelerated recklessly and shouted at Hu Xiaobei who was riding the horse with her. She pretended to be helpless in her tone, but her voice revealed a hint of joy that was hard to conceal.

"Oh, I didn't want to run so fast, but I couldn't control it. It suddenly ran so fast and I couldn't stop!"

As she spoke, her eyes were full of innocence and pride, her hair was blown wildly by the wind, but a smile could still be seen at the corners of her mouth.

Although the two of them did not ride on the same horse, Hu Xiaobei's spiritual perception always covered her and the horse, and the faded shadow was also secretly protecting her.

Hu Xiaobei's current perception range is approximately 7-9 meters in radius, and the same is true for his perfect control of shadows.

Every time An Xiaoqian exerted force, he could clearly know it through the vibration of the shadow or his perception ability.

Although the two were running almost side by side, An Xiaoqian was still in front and Hu Xiaobei was watching over her from behind.

However, the horse's speed gradually increased, and it was able to run a considerable distance in an instant.

In case of any danger, under such circumstances, Hu Xiaobei cannot guarantee that he will be able to rescue in time.

His sword-like brows were slightly furrowed, and his deep gaze was fixed on An Xiaoqian who was riding a horse in front of him.

When he thought of the possible danger, he made up his mind to take decisive action.

The faded shadow was already secretly protecting her, and now under Hu Xiaobei's control, it began to secretly affect the galloping horse.

The horse received the command, the rhythm of its hooves gradually slowed down, and began to slow down slowly.

But An Xiaoqian only wanted to speed up. She frowned, increased her strength, clamped her legs tightly around the horse's belly, and swung the reins in her hands vigorously, hoping that the horse would run faster.

However, every force she exerted with her legs and every swing of the reins were concealed by the faded shadows and had no effect on the horse at all.

Seeing that the horse was running slower and slower, he used the techniques he had learned before, but not only did it not work at all, it made things worse.

For a moment, An Xiaoqian was a little confused as to whether she had really learned how to ride a horse.

Hu Xiaobei had been riding his horse slowly, following her one or two meters behind. At this moment, he gently squeezed the horse's belly, gradually closing the distance between them.

When the two horses slowed down to a leisurely pace, they were less than half a meter apart.

Hu Xiaobei then glanced at her to the left, and said teasingly with a smile on his face: "It seems that your horse doesn't want to run."

An Xiaoqian was feeling confused. When she saw him approach, she put on an innocent look, winked playfully, and asked quickly, "I just used the method you taught me, why didn't it obey?"

Hu Xiaobei didn't look at her, but just kept on smiling appropriately, with a hint of mischief in his eyes: "Isn't this quite effective? The speed has been reduced just right, neither too fast nor too slow. It's excellent."

An Xiaoqian opened her mouth slightly, a hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but she didn't know how to express it.

She bit her lower lip lightly, thought about it, and could only pretend that nothing had happened, but she still felt a little unwilling in her heart.

Although she had no evidence, she could still sense a hint of sarcasm in Hu Xiaobei's tone.

Seeing that there was no one around, An Xiaoqian rolled her eyes and decisively changed the subject: "You said you would take me flying, can you be ready today?"

Hu Xiaobei secretly controlled her mount and quietly turned the direction, while responding nonchalantly: "Didn't we agree on three days? How long has it been?"

Seeing his nonchalant look, An Xiaoqian unconsciously raised her voice a few notches and quickly said, "It's within three days, but the weather is very good today.

"Look at this azure sky, not a single cloud in sight, with a gentle breeze—perfect weather for flying. Besides, can you guarantee it will be just as good tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?" She raised her head, squinting her eyes as she felt the warmth of the sun.

The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of excitement, and lifted some of her hair.

What she said does make sense. If you want to take people for a hang gliding flight, it is better to go on a sunny day.

Hu Xiaobei had made arrangements before leaving. If nothing unexpected happens, he should have bought the materials by the time he returns.

He raised his head slightly, looked at the sky deeply, and after thinking for a moment, he did not agree directly.

He just said calmly: "It's gliding flight, not direct flight. I don't have the equipment for direct flight.

Also, if you want to add another person to the paragliding flight, you need to add auxiliary tools to ensure safety, which will take some time."

Then, as if he had thought of something, he asked, "By the way, did you delete the video you took?"

An Xiaoqian hadn't expected him to fulfill his promise today. When she heard this, her eyes sparkled and she couldn't help but smile smugly: "What video? I didn't take any video at all!"

Hu Xiaobei was slightly startled, and subconsciously turned his head to the side, staring at her with his eyes, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "No, you really didn't take a video?"

An Xiaoqian playfully shook her head, blinking her big eyes as she stared at him without blinking, and said crisply, "No!"

Hu Xiaobei seemed to have discovered something, his eyes suddenly widened, and he asked anxiously: "No, if you didn't take the video, how can you be sure it was me?"

An Xiaoqian stretched slowly and leisurely, her soft waist arched slightly back on the horse's back. As she stretched, her upper body clothes tightened slightly, revealing her curves.

Then, she twisted her waist slightly, causing her entire upper body to spin leisurely on the horse's back like a nimble ribbon, as if playing with the breeze.

Use slight force with your legs to make your legs look longer and straighter, and lightly tap the stirrups with your toes to use the force to adjust your posture.

At the same time, she raised her hand to push the few strands of black hair behind her ears, revealing a touch of her fair neck. Then she slowly said, "You forgot, I called you."

Hu Xiaobei shook his head, looking unconvinced: "Just because I didn't answer the phone, what does that prove?"

An Xiaoqian knew she couldn't hide it from him, so she told him everything that happened that night.

After hearing this, Hu Xiaobei looked at her in surprise, with frank admiration in his eyes: "I didn't expect you to be so brave and so loyal.

Honestly, it's really rare for a girl to be able to do what you did, facing unknown fear and danger in the middle of the night."

Having said that, he sighed softly, with a look of admiration and a hint of worry in his eyes.

"I admire you, but given your limited strength, if there's danger, your actions will likely only lead to you giving yourself away in vain."

Hu Xiaobei stared at her, a subtle tenderness flashing in his eyes. He leaned forward slightly and suggested gently, "Next time you encounter something dangerous like this, contact me directly.

If you can't get in touch, you can't just rush over to deliver the food, understand?"

"Okay, I understand." An Xiaoqian inexplicably did not refute him.

Suddenly, Hu Xiaobei seemed to have thought of something, his brows furrowed, and his eyes revealed deep worry.

After a long while, he slowly spoke in a low voice, "There are cameras in the hotel. You came to my room alone late at night. If this video were to spread, it would not look good in public opinion."

An Xiaoqian shrugged nonchalantly, without a trace of fear on her face. She said with a firm look in her eyes, "The innocent will be innocent. I'm not afraid."

She raised her head slightly, facing the wind, with a calm expression, as if this matter would not affect her at all.
