Chapter 304: Teaching Jingzhe to ride a horse.
Jingzhe was still reluctant to admit the truth and he hid his response between little coughs. "I....am..." he coughed and cleared his throat as if he was chocking on popcorn.
Mei Mei rolled her eyes.
[Urgent mission: Give the green tea his first horse riding lesson.
Reward: Four new racing horses from a superior unknown breed.
Punishment: Slap yourself ten times on the cheek.]
"Oh come on." She mumbled. The punishment was ridiculous but the reward, she definitely wanted the reward.
She had sold all of her horses when she was raising funds for Space M and feeding the Mo family. Four horses that were of a superior breed was a wonderful gift. This was the kind of reward which would motivate her to work harder.
She got down from her horse and urged him to do the same. He struggled like a puppy that was learning how to walk and she had to intervene and help him.
Mei Mei had stolen two apples from her mother’s pocket in the barn and she gave both horses one.
She pulled on Jingzhe’s hand and encouraged him to pat the head of the horse he had been riding. She stood behind him, with one hand on his waist and the other over his hand that was patting the horse.
"He is gentle this one. You can see it in his eyes that he is a harmless soul." Mei Mei told him. "But that does not mean he is not judging you. He can smell your fear or hesitation and that is why he is acting like he is in charge."
Jingzhe’s brain was multitasking. A part of him was listening to her, another was concentrating on the horse, a third was feeling the warmth of her hand that was resting on his waist and the last was wondering if people would judge them if he kissed her right where they stood.
