Shocking! The actress was dragged to the regent's bedchamber every night.

Jiang didn't respond to Wen Yan; she just stood there watching them.

Then he pointed to the horse next to him, "Let's get on the horse and walk around a couple of times."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli walked to the horse's side and took a deep breath.

Stepping onto the pedals, my body seemed more accustomed to the height and movement than ever before.

With a push, he flipped over and sat on it.

The moment I sat down, my back straightened instinctively, and my legs naturally curled inward.

Jiang Yue watched without saying a word.

He only came over after Su Wuli was settled in her seat and did a quick check.

"Relax your shoulders and lower your hands a little."

He adjusted her hand position, his fingertips touching the back of her hand; it was very cool.

He then said, "I saw the video of you falling off your horse yesterday. I'll take you with me at first; it'll be safer that way."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli was taken aback.

Does it mean... you want to ride the same horse as her?

Like Yu Chen?

Before she could react, Jiang Yue had already stepped onto the footrest and sat down behind her.

After he sat down, the horse's back immediately became crowded.

Su Wuli's back was almost pressed against his chest.

The unfamiliar masculine aura was completely different from the aggressive aura emanating from Yu Chen.

An arm reached out from her side and grasped her hand that was holding the reins.

"Relax." His voice rang out above him.

Su Wuli froze completely.

too close.

The poses are so similar.

But the person is wrong, the atmosphere is wrong, everything feels wrong.

When Yu Chen did this in the dream, it was with a forceful yet unsettling intimacy.

Jiang Yue's actions were even considered polite and restrained, stemming from a sense of responsibility and safety.

Jiang Yue was clearly more gentle, but for some reason, Su Wuli felt more uncomfortable than Yu Chen's oppressive aura.

Her body involuntarily tried to dodge forward, and her fingers unconsciously tried to pull away from his hand.

The horses began to walk slowly, and the bumps brought them closer together.

"Relax," Jiang Yue said again.

Seemingly noticing her stiffness, he loosened his grip on her hand. "Follow the horse's rhythm."

She couldn't hold back any longer and slowly said, "I...I want to try it myself."

As soon as he finished speaking, the person behind him paused for a moment.

"Are you sure?" he asked. "I just fell yesterday."

"Okay." Su Wuli nodded. "I can walk slower."

Jiang Yue remained silent for a few seconds.

Then he released her hand, pulled his arm back, and dismounted.

"Walk slowly," he said.

Su Wuli nodded and gently squeezed the horse's belly, and the horse began to move forward.

Sitting alone on horseback, I was still nervous, but the awkwardness I felt earlier had dissipated almost entirely.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Yue's waist and abdomen began to rise and fall slightly in rhythm with the horse's movements. After walking half a lap, he did not call for a stop.

"Try jogging," he said from the sidelines.

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli felt a pang of anxiety, but she still did as she was told.

The horse trotted.

The jolt intensified, and my body jerked backward.

Almost simultaneously, the body's memory was activated, and as Ma Xiao trotted, his body gradually caught up with the rhythm.

Realizing something, Su Wuli herself was stunned.

She actually did it.

He glanced inadvertently at Wen Yan on the sidelines.

She looked over, her face showing undisguised surprise.

Wen Yan's gaze swept back and forth, full of disbelief, as if she were confirming that she hadn't seen wrong.

Su Wuli ran another half lap, and Jiang Yue raised his hand to signal her to stop.

She pulled on the reins, and the horse slowly came to a stop.

My heart was still beating a little fast, and I had a thin layer of sweat on my back.

But unlike the fear I felt before, I felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

She did it.

At this moment, Jiang Yue walked over, stood beside the horse, and looked up at her.

He asked, "Have you practiced before?"

Su Wuli coughed lightly, "...I enrolled in one crash course after another and practiced for a while."

She herself felt a little guilty about what she said.

If crash courses were this effective, the instructors would be famous by now.

Jiang Yue didn't speak, but looked at him for a few more seconds before saying, "Let's get down first."

Su Wuli carefully dismounted.

Wen Yan walked over at this moment, looking at her with disbelief.

"Su Wuli, tell me honestly, did that fall open up your meridians? Is this the same person as in the video?"

"Maybe... after falling yesterday, he really did have a breakthrough?" Su Wuli said, following her words.

After saying that, he couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Wen Yan clicked her tongue, clearly not believing it.

But she didn't press further. Instead, she turned to Jiang Yue and asked, "How is it? Can you teach me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli subconsciously looked at him.

Jiang Yue's gaze lingered on her for a moment before turning to Wen Yan.

"It's good." He paused, then added, "Better than expected."

For him to say that, it's probably a very high compliment.

Because Su Wuli saw Wen Yan raise her eyebrows, and the look in her eyes clearly said, "You're something else."

During a break in training, Wen Yan handed Su Wuli water, her eyes lingering on her.

"I'm serious..." she leaned closer and whispered.

"You're like a completely different person today. If I hadn't known you for so many years, I would have suspected that you have a twin sister who is taking your place in class."

Clearly, she didn't believe the claim that she would suddenly become enlightened after just one fall.

Su Wuli unscrewed the bottle cap, drank some water, and didn't reply; she herself couldn't explain it clearly.

Jiang Yue was standing under the shade of a tree not far away, also drinking water.

He was turned to the side, his gaze seemingly unintentionally sweeping across the training field.

Su Wuli would always inadvertently run into his gaze.

Suddenly, Wen Yan nudged her arm.

Su Wuli looked at her, her face full of confusion.

His friend lowered his voice even further, with a hint of teasing.

"To be honest, Jiang Yue is a bit quiet, but he's reliable, comes from a good family, and is good-looking. Most importantly, he cares about you a lot. As soon as I mentioned it, you came right away..."

She paused, then glanced meaningfully at Su Wuli's covered neck.

"It's much better than some shady methods. At least I feel more at ease and don't have to worry about you being scammed."

Upon hearing this, Su Wuli knew that she had gone back to what happened that morning, and lowered her eyes to look at the water bottle in her hand.

She then opened her mouth and said, "It's not what you think."

"What do you mean?" Wen Yan pressed, but seeing that her friend didn't want to talk about it anymore, she waved her hand.

"Alright, alright, I won't ask. You know what I mean, but..."

She glanced in Jiang Yue's direction. "It's always good to seize the opportunity right in front of you."

Su Wuli pursed her lips, shook her head, and said, "Are you encouraging me to date?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Yan froze, glancing meaningfully at her neck.

Su Wuli ignored her gaze and tried to change the subject, "If Sister Wen finds out about this, she'll definitely scold me."

Wen Yan awkwardly touched her nose. "Why don't you just not tell her?"

That concludes the discussion.

Su Wuli began to find the practice increasingly easier, and Jiang Yue repeatedly remarked that she was talented.

At these times, Su Wuli would guiltily turn her head away.

After practice, the three of them went out for dinner together.

Back at her apartment, Su Wuli took a shower immediately.

I originally just wanted to lie in bed for a while, but I ended up falling asleep without realizing it.

When I opened my eyes again, the sunlight was blinding.

The scene before her made Su Wuli freeze instantly; it was the training ground where she had practiced during the day.

She was sitting on the saddle at that moment.

He wasn't wearing pajamas, but rather the off-white, close-fitting riding outfit he wore during daytime training.

The waistline is clearly outlined, and the trouser legs are tightly fitted.

What surprised her even more was that Jiang Yue was sitting behind her, holding her hand and the reins.

It perfectly replicates the daytime scene.
