Having trained real horses, why are we now training racehorse girls after time-traveling?

"Don't worry, we won't stand idly by. Chi Tian-kun, what you need to do now is go back and get a good night's sleep, then take a shower, rinse your mouth, and tidy yourself up."

"I'll write some drafts for you, Chizon-kun. You might find some of the lines useful." Wada was making use of his good looks to prepare some romantic lines for Chizon, who lacked emotional intelligence, so that he could perform a little better.

“Let’s go pick out a suitable gift,” said Fumino Nase. “I really don’t trust your taste as men. Let us do it.”

"Hmm... I don't really have much to help with, but I can have the Golden Ship cover for Chi Tian-kun." Jin Lang wasn't good at dealing with this kind of situation, but he thought of the Golden Ship and believed that in this kind of situation, the Golden Ship would be very "enthusiastic" in helping Chi Tian and the master craftsman.

"Thank you, everyone."

Faced with this situation, what could Chi Tian say besides gratitude? Now he has resolved his confusion and inner conflicts, and only now is he truly accepting himself and his current life. Only now does he realize that the help he received from those around him has never diminished.

For a moment, Chi Tian's eyes were red and swollen, but he managed to hold back and didn't have the nerve to cry in public—he himself had forgotten how long it had been since he had last cried.

"So, everyone, let's get our spirits up and get ready for the plan to get back together with Ikezoe-kun and Master!" Wada cheered, extending his hand.

"Oh!" In an instant, everyone echoed Wada's joking words, and everyone began to act again for the same goal.

Chapter 320: Chi Tian: I'm going to apologize, not to propose!

The next day, still in the Tokyo hospital, the Gold Master cooperated with the doctor's treatment and was surprisingly well-behaved. Compared to her usual uncooperative attitude, which even during physical examinations, her cooperation made the medical staff even more uneasy.

Of course, a larger part of the reason is that she no longer has the mood or energy to do much. Ever since she said those words to Ikezoe that day, the Golden Master's mind has been filled with those words every day.

Well... the more I think about it, the more I regret it. The master actually regrets what he said to Chi Tian back then, because at the time he was just disappointed with Chi Tian's choice and said some angry words that he would only think about in the past, which could not be refuted at all.

After all, only she knew about the strange changes in her mind; how could Chi Tian possibly be aware of them? Besides, Chi Tian's confidence in her wasn't something that had just started recently. Although the Golden Master occasionally felt that Chi Tian "imagined" her to be too powerful, she actually quite enjoyed being praised by Chi Tian.

There's always this feeling that she really is that powerful. And the Golden Master, relying on this confidence that Chi Tian had in her, has come all the way to where she is today. She finds herself slowly becoming as powerful as Chi Tian described.

Now that she has won the Japanese derby, the pulmonary hemorrhage has nothing to do with Ikezoe. Moreover, Ikezoe was concerned about her health and told her not to continue training, which was the right choice.

"Should we give this guy a call..."

In just two days, thanks to the special constitution of the racehorse girl, the Golden Master was able to breathe freely without the aid of a ventilator. Although she would still cough if she took a deep breath, it was much better than when she was coughing up blood at the beginning.

The Gold Master, however, was now holding her phone, somewhat hesitant. Last night, Zhen Jiling had been taking care of her, whispering random things in her ear, but she hadn't listened. However, she did know that Zhen Jiling had suddenly rushed back to Treson Academy that evening.

This amplified the unease in the Gold Master's heart. However, what reassured her most from beginning to end was that her phone did not receive any messages—which meant that Chi Tian was indeed alright.

However, even though nothing was wrong, the Gold Master still hoped he could call Chi Tian to express his apologies.

—If she could suppress her bluntness, she really would.

"Aaaaaah—why can't I do it?!"

The goldsmith reluctantly put down her phone, still unable to make a decision. Just as her emotions were starting to surge, a violent cough forced her to suppress them again.

The doctor told her that during the one or two months of recuperation, she absolutely could not be as emotional as she was during the competition. Otherwise, if she got emotional, her breathing would become rapid, which would put a strain on her body and cause her to cough.

The coughing up of blood had only just stopped; if it were to recur, it was hard to say whether he would recover. Therefore, the Gold Master had been carefully controlling his emotions to avoid agitation and prevent a recurrence of his pulmonary hemorrhage.

"Da da da".

"Hmm? Who is it?" The master couldn't help but ask when he heard the knocking. At that moment, the door to the ward slowly opened, and the first thing he saw was a bouquet of eye-catching roses.

“Master, it’s me, Mi Yu.”

Mi Yu's voice drifted over as she approached, carrying a large bouquet of red roses. She had come specifically to visit the master—in fact, when Zhen Jiling returned to Treson Academy, she had specifically asked Mi Yu to help take care of the master. Mi Yu hadn't actually left during the master's illness; feeling guilty, she would have stayed to look after him even if Zhen Jiling hadn't said anything.

Mi Yu had been looking after the master for quite some time, and had just taken some time to go downstairs to buy him a large bouquet of roses. She smiled and said:

"Miyu bought a lot of flowers for Master, hoping they will cheer you up."

"Mi Yu also bought candy. Eating candy might make you feel a little better, right?"

As Mi Yu spoke, she placed a large cluster of roses into a glass bottle filled with water that she had prepared beforehand, and quickly placed a bag of candy next to the master, trying her best to cheer up the seemingly depressed master.

"I've heard that if people are happy, they recover from illnesses faster. Although I may not be able to make you happy, Master, these candies and flowers might make you a little happier..."

"...I'm fine, Mi Yu, thank you for everything during this time."

However, the master never gets angry when facing Mi Yu; on the contrary, she is very polite. The master herself realized this, but couldn't help but wonder: why is she so nice to Mi Yu, but not so nice to Chi Tian, ​​with whom she has known each other for a longer time... How strange.

But Mi Yu, unaware of what the master was thinking, instead addressed him:

"Miyu, Miyu really hopes that Master will get better soon... and be able to return to the competition, to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Competition..."

"Miyu became stronger because of Master, but now she can't help Master. Waaah... Am I too useless?"

However, as Mi Yu spoke, she herself became sad again, proving she wasn't good at encouraging people. Her demeanor, ironically, made the Golden Master seem like the type who needed comforting.

However, this time, before the Golden Master could speak, the door to the ward was opened again. When Mi Yu and the Master looked at each other, they saw that a tall, elegant racehorse girl had walked in.

"Hey! Master Craftswoman! Have you been resting well lately?"

"...Golden Ship, you've come too."

When the Gold Master saw the golden ship, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, and his tone became less gentle as he said, "Didn't I tell you I'm fine? Don't worry everyone. I don't think all the family members are here, are they?"

"Wait, you don't seem to be here to see me, do you? You don't have anything in your hands."

"Me? I was just passing by." The Golden Ship smiled slightly upon hearing this, then addressed Rice Bath, who was standing beside the master craftsman:

"Miyu, I think I heard on my way here that a report from Master Sister has been released. Do you want to go get it?"

"Huh? Has the report come out yet? Mi Yu, I'm going right now!"

Upon hearing this, Mi Yu didn't suspect anything and immediately followed the golden ship outside. However, she was startled by the large group of people gathered outside the door.

"Ai ai ai—Waaaaah!"

"Keep your voice down, Senior Mi Yu, don't let Master Ji hear." McQueen and Emperor each covered Mi Yu's mouth with one hand, and McQueen immediately whispered:

"We're doing this for a reason, and we ask for your cooperation, Senior Mi Yu. We're doing this for Master Ju!"

"..." Upon hearing this, Mi Yu calmed down a bit and nodded gently. Only then did the Emperor and McQueen release their hands from Mi Yu's mouth.

"Ikezoe-kun, are you ready?" On the other side, Naze Fumino and Wada were adjusting Ikezoe's military uniform. Hao Geju placed the lines Wada had written into Ikezoe's pocket, reminding him as well:

"This is a masterpiece that Ryuji and I worked on together. As long as you recite the lines in this book, you will be able to overcome any difficulty, Trainer Ikezoe!"

"...Gentlemen, I'm just going to have a talk with the master, why are you all acting like I'm going to propose?"

Chi Tian's speechlessness has continued since this morning. He is now not only dressed in a suit and tie, but he has also even had his hair waxed. He looks much more energetic than yesterday, but this strange feeling makes Chi Tian feel very strange.

What's even stranger is that he actually felt nervous because of the atmosphere, as if he were really going to propose to Orpheus. Even Zhen Jiling and Dong Shang Biange were just watching the show, which made him feel even more isolated and helpless.

"Alright, everything's ready. Now it's up to you." Without another word, Golden Ship shoved Chi Tian towards the door, saying:

"Whether you can win over Master Sister depends on you! Trainer Chi Tian! You two must be happy!"

"Wait! I'm not—"

"boom!"

However, before Chi Tian could finish speaking, he was pushed into the ward by the golden ship without any explanation. Chi Tian stumbled and suddenly appeared in front of the master craftsman.

For a moment, their eyes met, and when the master craftswoman saw Chi Tian's attire, even the flower on his suit, she spoke with extreme discomfort:

"Ike, Ike Ten? You? What are you doing here!"

And what's with this outfit?! The master didn't shout these words out loud, but at this moment, her heart was already beating faster, as if she had thought of a highly probable possibility.

Chapter 321: Their Second Honest Encounter

"Ike, Ikezoe! You—what are you doing here?!"

Upon seeing Chi Tian dressed like this, even the Gold Master, who had never seen Chi Tian like this before, couldn't help but feel a little nervous. She knew she shouldn't get too excited, but she couldn't control her racing heartbeat and her cheeks that were starting to turn red.

If the Golden Master's body were connected to an electrocardiogram at this moment, it would probably show that her heart rate is so fast it's unbelievable, enough to make any old doctor take off his glasses and say with a serious face, "Girl, your heart rate is a bit frighteningly high."

Calm down, calm down, Master Gold. Chi Tian's mind isn't quite right to begin with, so there must be a reason why he's acting like this all of a sudden. Don't think too much about it. Don't you know what's going on with that blockhead Chi Tian?

Besides, you don't like Chi Tian. Even if Chi Tian comes to ask for your hand in marriage, you can just refuse her.

The Golden Master was experiencing a mental storm, yet she seemed to be becoming even more excited and out of control. If she weren't lying in a hospital bed, her tail would probably be wagging wildly by now.

However, she seemed to have forgotten that getting emotional not only caused her to wag her tail, but also triggered her coughing.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Are you alright, Orphie?"

Upon hearing the Golden Master's cough, Chi Tian's heart involuntarily trembled. Ever since the Golden Master's pulmonary hemorrhage was detected, Chi Tian had become even more anxious. Because racehorses are different from racehorses; racehorses don't cry out in pain, but the racehorse girl's illness is clearly visible.

Of course, the decline in a racehorse's condition is also visible to the naked eye. For example, rapid weight loss and a loss of luster in its coat are all signs of a dangerous condition. However, compared to the racehorse girl who coughs and cries out in pain, it is the current Golden Master that worries Ikezoe the most.

So, as soon as the Gold Master coughed, Chi Tian immediately forgot his current embarrassment and stepped forward to grab the Gold Master's shoulders, but immediately felt a sharp pain on the back of his hand and subconsciously let go.

"No, don't come any closer!"

When the Golden Master felt Chi Tian's hand touch her, she suddenly let out a sound that could truly be described as "cute." Although her movements weren't very gentle, her face turned bright red, and she immediately distanced herself from Chi Tian. Anyone who saw this would think that the Golden Master was really adorable right now.

Even Chi Tian was taken aback. Having known her for so long, this was truly the first time he'd found Orpheus to be genuinely quite adorable. Was this just a psychological effect of revealing his true feelings?

However, Chi Tian had to express his feelings first. Orpheus was so wary of him, which meant that she had not yet forgiven him. Chi Tian had already made thorough preparations for this.

At that moment, Ikezoe subconsciously reached into his pocket for the "love confession masterpiece" that he had prepared long ago, a piece that Hao Geju and Wada had worked on all night to complete. While Orpheus was still huddled in the corner, Ikezoe quickly glanced at it and then said without hesitation:

“Orphie, I know you still have reservations, but I’m here today to tell you—I’ve changed.”

“I am different now. Because of your previous advice, I finally understand what I truly crave in my heart.”

Chi Tian read the words on the note, but the more he read, the more he felt something was wrong. Nevertheless, he continued, "I now know who the most important person in my heart is, Orpheus. I can now honestly accept myself."

"Orphie, I've thought about it all day and finally understood my own heart. For me, the most important thing is—"

Wait, wait, wait! Something's not right! Ikezoe finally realized that there was definitely something seriously wrong with the note that the opera and Wada had given him! The more he read, the more he felt like he was reading some kind of plain love letter. His gaze slowly swept across the note, and he finally noticed the following sentence written on the last line:

"I have finally realized the love of my heart, and that is you, Orpheus. Will you be with me forever, until the day the sea dries up and the rocks crumble?"

—Isn't this just a love confession?! Damn it! Those two, Wada and Yoshimi Opera! Did they team up to screw me over?!

Furious, Chi Tian crumpled the note into a ball and threw it on the ground. However, losing the note was like the buff disappearing completely, thus revealing his true nature. However, his previous words had already made the Golden Master too embarrassed to show his face from the corner, so he did not notice Chi Tian's silence.

What should he do now? Chi Tian was at a loss for a moment. He subconsciously looked at the ward door that was still visible. At that moment, the head of the Golden Boat popped out from the slightly open ward door. She gave Chi Tian a thumbs up with a very serious expression to show her encouragement.

Go for it, Trainer Ikezoe! If you defeat Master Sister, you'll be our Golden Family's greatest benefactor!

"Thank you, Golden Ship! You're so hot and adorable!" Chi Tian's eyes conveyed this message. Clearly, in this situation, he couldn't rely on anyone else and had to make up for it himself.

So, facing the Golden Master who was cowering in the corner, guarding from the inside, he slowly approached and gently touched the Golden Master's back with his palm.

"Huh?!"
