Chapter 408: Not in my bed
The vacation was going as planned for everyone and so far, three days had passed. While everyone was touring the city, sunbathing, swimming, fishing and playing games, Mei Mei was training really hard. For her, it was more important that she win the second race even more than the first one.
She did not want her victory at the vermilion derby to be called a fluke. That would be worse than winning second place because she would be a clown that returned to the world of racing just to embarrass herself.
So, she trained intensely with focus, not feeling sad about all the fun she was missing out on during the first half of the day. In the evenings, she got to join everyone else and have fun.
She was doing her training at the private stables owned by the Smith family, old family friends that were American. They were wealthy and owned a vast farm in Australia with large stables and a treacherous trail that was just perfect for Mei Mei’s training.
The best part of it all was that there were no nosy eyes watching her and judging while plotting against her. There were also no distractions as nobody joined her in the training....that was until today. Junjie suddenly showed up on the back of a horse in the last ten minutes and raced her.
He had just lost and he was sulking about it.
"Here." Mei Mei handed him a candy like she was coaxing a young kid.
He took it, unwrapped and put it his mouth. And still, he continued to sulk. In response, she rolled her eyes and dismounted. Taking the reigns of her horse, she started leading him to a pond to quench his thirst.
Junjie followed her actions and he led the horse he had been riding to the pond.
"When did you arrive?" Mei Mei asked him.
