Conquer the other worlds with abandon, they've fallen in love with me!

The three continued rehearsing, but Teresa's gaze was drawn to the stables.

At this moment, Lin Yu was leading a chestnut mare out of the stable, carrying a wooden bucket and a long-handled brush in his hand.

He led the horse to an open area next to the lawn, squatted down, placed the wooden bucket securely, and scooped a ladle of water from it, pouring it onto the mare's back.

His palm was pressed against the horse's back, pushing down along the grain of the hair, while his other hand held a brush, brushing the horse's shoulder blades one stroke at a time.

Jasmine let out a cheerful hum and nuzzled Lin Yu's shoulder with her head.

Theresa paused for a moment with her sword.

Her gaze fell on Lin Yu's palm, as he brushed it very carefully.

Jasmine tilted her head slightly under his hand, squinted her eyes, and gently swished her tail, making a comfortable purring sound.

Treya suddenly realized that she had never had her body brushed like this before in her entire life.

She always took care of it herself, using a short-handled brush to reach areas she couldn't reach, and she would lean to the side to scrub them. No other pair of hands had ever helped her with this.

Looking at Jasmine's comfortable appearance, swishing her tail so leisurely, she suddenly felt a little envious of the horse.

She even wondered if she were standing there, with Lin Yu's palm on her back and the brush sliding down her tail mane, would she make that kind of sound too?

Theresa's face flushed instantly.

But just as she was lost in thought, Jasmine suddenly turned her head and glanced in her direction.

His eyes held an indescribable meaning, as if he were showing off.

Treya frowned slightly, pursed her lips, and muttered, "...Damn it, how dare they provoke me."

She sheathed her sword, but her gaze remained fixed on the stable.

Just then, Lin Yu mounted his horse, straddling Jasmine's back. He held the reins in his hand and gave them a gentle shake, and Jasmine started to run.

The horse's hooves pounded on the grass, its mane fluttering in the wind. Lin Yu's back was slightly lowered, his movements steady.

When Jasmine reached the edge of the lawn, she suddenly slowed down, turned halfway around, and snorted loudly in Treya's direction.

Treya stood by the wooden platform, arms crossed, chin slightly raised:

"Tch, as if anyone can't ride. If Mr. Lin Yu can ride you, then he can ride me too. I'm even faster than you."

After saying that, Theresa paused for a moment, as if she hadn't expected to say such a thing.

Her ears turned red for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it.

Jasmine has already run back to the center of the lawn.

Lin Yu reined in his horse, dismounted, patted Jasmine's neck, and then led her toward the wooden platform.

He stopped below the wooden platform and looked up at Treya: "Speaking of which, Miss Treya is a centaur."

Lin Yu said casually, "My Jasmine seems quite interested in having a match with you."

Jasmine responded with a loud neigh and pawed the grass twice with her front hooves, as if in reply.

Treya glanced at Jasmine, then at Lin Yu, and a slight smile curved her lips.

She also wanted to go for a run, since it had been a long time since she had run freely.

Before this, she had been struggling to make a living and had never dared to waste her energy running like this.

She lowered her hand from the sword hilt: "Perfect, I also want to test myself."

Lin Yu climbed back onto Jasmine and pulled on the reins.

Treya stepped down from the wooden platform, and the ground trembled slightly when her four hooves touched the grass.

She stopped beside Lin Yu, bent down slightly, tensed her hind legs, and gently pawed the ground with her front hooves: "Let's go."

Lin Yu didn't say much. He gently squeezed the horse's belly with his legs, and Jasmine rushed out.

The wind whizzed past my ears, the grass rushed past my hooves, and the outline of the manor shrank in my peripheral vision.

Treya ran on the left, her stride wider and her pace faster than Jasmine's, her hooves kicking up a patch of grass with each step.

Lin Yu turned his head and glanced at her.

Theresa stood very straight, her golden braids fluttering in the wind, her lips slightly curved, and her eyes bright.

She hadn't run like this in a long time; the last time she ran freely was several years ago.

At this moment, Treya and Lin Yu stood side by side, and the two looked at each other.

Lin Yu didn't speak, but only slightly curved the corners of his mouth.

Theresa smiled as well, looking at Lin Yu's face, and for a moment she felt a sense of kinship with him.

The finish line was the old tree at the edge of the lawn, and Jasmine arrived half a step ahead.

Treya stopped a beat late, pushed off the ground with her front hooves, and breathed slightly.

She turned her head to look at Jasmine, then at Lin Yu, her voice tinged with resentment:

"...just half a step away."

Jasmine turned her head and snorted at her, as if to say: Even if it's just half a step, I still win.

Treya frowned slightly:

"It was just a hair's breadth away. Besides, it was because Mr. Lin Yu rode so well. If he had ridden me, you definitely wouldn't have been able to outrun me."

Upon hearing this, Jasmine snorted again and pawed the ground with her front hooves, as if to say: Let's give it a try.

"Let's give it a try." Treya's lips curved slightly. She took two steps forward and stood beside Lin Yu.

Then he turned his head and his gaze fell on Lin Yu:

"Mr. Lin Yu, ride me~ Let it have a look."

Theresa's voice was a little steadyer than before.

Lin Yu didn't refuse. He rolled off Jasmine's back, and Jasmine took two steps to the side and flicked her tail.

Lin Yu walked to Treya's side. She didn't move away. She stood there with her four hooves slightly apart and her back straight, waiting for him to come up.

Lin Yu rolled over and climbed onto her back.

His hooves were close to the sides of her horse, and his hands naturally rested on her waist.

That action was quite ordinary.

Riders would hold onto their horses like this, but Teresa was not a horse; she was a conscious person.

In a sense, she and the horse are two different species.

Aside from its horse-like shape, most of its body is still made of human skin.

Theresa could feel the warmth of Lin Yu's palm against her waist through the fabric, and her body tensed slightly.

This was the first time a man had ridden on top of her, and Teresa blushed, becoming shy.

But just then, Lin Yu's voice rang out: "It's starting."

Treya adjusted her mindset and stepped out.

Faster than before, the wind rushed in past her ears, and she could hear her own heartbeat and Lin Yu's breathing coming from behind her.

When she ran past the old tree, Jasmine hadn't arrived yet; this time, she won.

Treya slowed her pace and stopped, slightly out of breath. She turned her head to look at Lin Yu, a smug smile playing on her lips.

"See? I won."

Jasmine slowly ran over and stopped in front of Lin Yu, then lowered her head and rubbed her head against his arm.

Lin Yu patted its neck: "It's okay, it's just a small test."

Treya watched as Lin Yu's palm touched Jasmine's mane, and Jasmine closed her eyes and rubbed against his palm, letting out a soft, comfortable moan.

Her smile slowly faded, stopping at the corner of her mouth.

She suddenly felt a little empty.

So what if you win? When Jasmine loses, her owner pats her head and comforts her; when she wins, she gets praised.

She won, but no one touched her head or patted her shoulder.

She won, but she just stood there panting.

But just then, Lin Yu's voice came from behind her: "Miss Theresa is very capable."

Treya was taken aback for a moment, then felt a warmth welling up inside her.

She turned her face away, her voice muffled in her throat: "...Thank you."

Lin Yu slid off her back and said calmly:

"And actually, I noticed that Miss Theresa was looking this way the whole time I was cleaning the jasmine."

If you don't mind, I can clean it for you, just like I cleaned Jasmine earlier.

Upon hearing this, Treya looked away from Lin Yu's face and swayed her body awkwardly.

She hadn't taken good care of herself for several days, and Lin Yu's comment made her feel a little uncomfortable.

It felt like ants were crawling all over my body.

Theresa glanced at Jasmine, who was swishing her tail, her mane glistening in the sunlight.

However, the fur at the base of her tail was grayish.

She looked away and stammered, "Then, I'll have to trouble Mr. Lin Yu..."
