"If you hate it so much, why did you come?" A strange, arrogant voice came from behind.
Yan Shenyu turned around and saw a tall, elegantly dressed man walking towards him. He wore extravagant gold jewelry on his chocolate skin, and held his neck high, like a proud black peacock—Xu Yi, another member of the variety show.
"What are you looking at?" Seeing Yan Shenyu staring at him, Xu Yi took off his sunglasses and glared at him.
Yan Shenyu's gaze fell on his chocolate-colored skin, and she said quietly, "Because you can see horses."
Xu Yi raised an eyebrow and said dismissively, "Just to see the horses?"
"Otherwise what?" Yan Shenyu raised an eyebrow, her gaze falling on his face, revealing the same contempt. "How else could I see Little Wild Horse if I didn't come?"
Little wild horse?
Xu Yi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "You—"
Because of his sexy and fiery image, he is called "Little Chili" or "Little Wild Horse" by netizens. He usually likes these nicknames, but he never expected that Yan Shenyu, that annoying person, would tease him in this way and drag him down to the level of an animal.
"You just wait!" Xu Yi shouted angrily behind him, "I'll make you pay!"
Yan Shenyu left without giving him a second glance.
Yan Sheng remained silent by Yan Shenyu's side the entire time. It wasn't until they entered the reception hall and Yan Shenyu finally recovered from the heat that Yan Sheng asked, "Did you come to the Stud Club because of Xu Yi?"
"How could this be?" Yan Shenyu turned to look at him, her face filled with shock.
Yan Sheng: "Then you just said you came to see the horses..."
“I came here just to see the horses,” Yan Shenyu said, glancing at the racecourse with the kind of smile a human would give a cat or dog. “Don’t you think horses are beautiful animals? Especially these well-cared-for racehorses, with their smooth coats and beautiful muscles. Just standing there, they exude elegance.”
Moreover, in his previous life, Yan Shenyu had an accident while filming, and it was Ma, who was working with him at the time, who came to his rescue.
The man was unharmed, but the horse's leg was injured, rendering it unusable as a working horse. A working horse that can no longer work faces only one fate.
Before the herdsmen disposed of the horse, Yan Shenyu bought it and kept it in his large villa in the suburbs. A year later, the previously thin and weak horse was now glossy and healthy, and its injured hind legs had gradually recovered.
Yan Shenyu liked to be with the horse. When its round eyes looked over, the whole world would fall silent in an instant.
Yan Shenyu was captivated by those melancholy eyes, and after receiving Fu Shuyu's invitation, she decided to attend the Stallion Club without any hesitation.
He came here this time hoping to find a horse that he liked.
Yan Shenyu skipped over the events of his previous life and told Yan Sheng about the matter in a different way.
Seeing the light in Yan Shenyu's eyes, Yan Sheng was momentarily stunned. After a instant, he concealed the disappointment in his eyes and hesitated, "But I haven't had much contact with horses..."
In fact, he utterly despised equestrian activities associated with the upper class. In that world, he was looked down upon and ridiculed for his equestrianism; he even fell to the ground in front of everyone the first time he rode a horse, enduring endless mockery.
Those people mocked him, saying he was a country bumpkin who overestimated himself by coming to participate in such an aristocratic event.
Although he later took 100 equestrian lessons and became more proficient than most people, his initial motivation of learning equestrianism out of a sense of pride still prevented him from finding a true love for the sport.
“It’s okay,” Yan Shenyu smiled at him. “I’ll take you to try it later. It’s quite fun.”
Yan Sheng nodded, then focused her gaze on the horses in the distance, and suddenly felt that the feeling of frustration she had felt earlier had disappeared considerably.
Later, the guests arrived one after another, and the stallion exhibition began.
It wasn't until someone brought out a stallion for a demonstration that Yan Sheng realized they had been assigned to the worst area.
After all, it's the annual national stallion convention, attracting equestrian enthusiasts from almost every region. The VIP stands occupy the best viewing positions, and the other regular stands also have good spots. Only they are in a corner with no shade, and the sun is blazing down on them.
The last part of the stallion display will be when they walk past them.
Seeing everyone's gazes, Yan Sheng felt uneasy. She knew they were looking at the horses, but she felt as if they were talking about her.
The sun was too strong, and Yan Shenyu had already taken refuge in the shade by the wall, but Yan Sheng couldn't. He stood alone in the sunlight, his back straight, his gaze calm, with a stubborn yet poignant expression.
"Aren't you hot?" Yan Shenyu called out to him from behind. "Want to hide here with me?"
Yan Sheng really wanted to go over, but he knew that someone was deliberately trying to embarrass him, and he didn't want to show weakness.
He knew his family background was good, but Yan Zhengang was a self-made man, a nouveau riche in the eyes of outsiders. He only learned golf to communicate with clients and had no habit of engaging in activities like horseback riding.
Moreover, even if Yan Zhengang really joined the club, he would still be nothing more than a small fry in front of these incredibly wealthy people.
Yan Sheng didn't complain about his birth, nor did he mind these people embarrassing him, but he couldn't tolerate them dragging Yan Shenyu down with them. Didn't they know he was most afraid of the heat? Now his face was completely red from the sun, and he was almost suffering from heatstroke.
The stud session will last for nearly two hours. If they are exposed to the scorching sun for that long, Yan Shenyu's body will definitely not be able to withstand it.
He couldn't let Yan Shenyu be bullied.
Thinking of this, Yan Sheng glanced at the VIP stands.
If this world is the same as the previous one, then Fu Jingran should be in it.
This person had a profound influence on him; just thinking of that name brought a complex mix of emotions to Yan Sheng's heart.
But now was not the time to dwell on these things. He looked up at the high VIP stands and silently made a decision.
Just as he mustered his courage and was finally ready to go find Fu Jingran, a staff member in a horse farm uniform approached. He politely asked, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Yan Shenyu?"
“It’s me.” Yan Shenyu took off his sunglasses to look at him.
Staff: "Hello Mr. Yan, a guest surnamed Xie would like to invite you to the VIP section to watch the show."
Surname Xie? Could it be that Xie Siyan has also come?
"Please wait a moment," Yan Shenyu said to the staff, taking out her phone to send a message to Xie Siyan.
Yan Shenyu: "You're also in the Stallion Club?"
Xie Siyan: "Yes, come over here and take a look."
Yan Shenyu: "Will this bother you?"
Xie Siyan: "No, they are all my friends."
Yan Shenyu: "Then shall I go with my brother?"
Xie Siyan: "Okay."
Then he added, "I have a friend who wants to get to know him."
So that's why. Xie Siyan invited Yan Sheng to the VIP room because his friends wanted to get to know her.
Xie Siyan's friend, the harem, wanting to get to know Yan Sheng... Several keywords flashed through Yan Shenyu's mind, and then the name of the protagonist, Fu Jingran, appeared.
Yan Shenyu put away her phone and said to Yan Sheng, "Shall we go together? It's not as sunny over there."
Yan Sheng nodded, following behind Yan Shenyu with mixed feelings.
He promised to protect him, but in the end, Yan Shenyu protected him instead. Even though he was the older brother…
Xie Siyan and his friends occupied the best spot, where there was no sun and they could clearly see the silhouettes of every horse.
Besides Xie Siyan, there were three other men in the room.
"These are Fu Da, Fu Jingran, and Fu Shuyu," Xie Siyan introduced them in order of age. "They are the organizers of this stallion event."
Yan Shenyu greeted them one by one. The man named Fu Da had fine lines at the corners of his eyes and seemed to be a generation older than them. He carried a faint scent of sandalwood and had a kind of wise and composed demeanor.
As for Fu Jingran standing next to him...
To be fair, he is, after all, the protagonist in the original work, so his appearance is indeed impeccable. It's just that he doesn't know if it's his imagination, but he always feels that Fu Jingran's temperament is a bit silly amidst his elite demeanor. If he had to describe it, he's like a straight-laced husky.
If Yan Sheng falls into his hands, she'll probably be a little kitten that he keeps bullying.
At this moment, Yan Shenyu greeted him, but Fu Jingran seemed absent-minded, staring intently at Yan Sheng behind him.
Alright, Yan Shenyu took the initiative to give them space to be alone.
Then Fu Jingran went up to her with great enthusiasm, shook hands with Yan Sheng and greeted her, holding her hand tightly and not letting go.
Yan Shenyu: "..."
Goodness, he's definitely got the husky traits.
But the problem is that this perverted look of his is very likely to scare people away!
Yan Shenyu looked up at Yan Sheng again, but Yan Sheng was not angry at all. Instead, his gaze darted around in a panic, and he looked flustered. Even the beauty mark under his eye seemed very easy to bully.
The beauty blushed, and Fu Jingran couldn't resist staring at her intently.
"Alright, you're still reluctant to let go after shaking hands?" Seeing that Yan Sheng's face was almost completely red, Yan Shenyu took the initiative to stand up and forcefully interrupt Fu Jingran's silly behavior. "Do you want me to get you a room so you can shake hands to your heart's content?"
Upon hearing this, the two withdrew their hands as if they had been burned, looking like they had something to hide.
If Yan Shenyu hadn't been holding the script, he would have thought the two of them had been secretly dating for a long time.
The last person to greet her was Fu Shuyu. Yan Shenyu smiled at him and said sincerely, "Thank you for inviting me to the Stallion Club."
The other person was wearing a white polo shirt, and their hair was surrounded by a hazy halo in the sunlight.
Seeing them approach, Fu Shuyu looked up and gave them a sweet smile, her sweet voice tinged with apology: "I'm glad you like it. I've been so busy today that I didn't even know the staff had arranged for you to stay outside. Luckily, Siyan reminded me in time. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
“It’s alright, these are the only best spots, I understand,” Yan Shenyu readily forgave him, then added, “But next time you plan a 'stud party,' you can add two parasols on the side, it’s really too sunny.”
Fu Shuyu's lips twitched. He maintained his smile, but his heart was pounding.
Did Yan Shenyu realize that he wasn't taking care of the Stallion Club's affairs, and use this opportunity to criticize him?
Although the Fu family claimed that he had planned the "stud party," it was merely a publicity stunt to help him build connections in Beijing's high society. Such a large-scale event was certainly beyond his capabilities.
And what is his status? How could he possibly care about such a trivial matter as whether there are sun umbrellas in the stands?
Fu Shuyu didn't want to continue the topic, so she bypassed Xie Siyan and said directly to them, "Please sit down, both of you."
The current seating arrangement is as follows: Xie Siyan and the main character are seated in the center, with Fu Shuyu and Fu Da on either side. Their newly added seats are next to Fu Da, placed at the very edge.
Yan Shenyu chose the seat on the far side, but before she could sit down, Xie Siyan, who was in the middle, suddenly stood up.
Amidst the surprised gazes of the crowd, he walked up to the Yan brothers and said to Yan Sheng, "Hello, could you switch seats with me?"
A note from the author:
Xie Siyan: If my wife doesn't come to me, I'll take the initiative to go to her.
Chapter 38 Touching him with selfish desires.
Yan Sheng glanced at Yan Shenyu with some apprehension.
Xie Siyan stepped forward and whispered in Yan Shenyu's ear, "The friend I told you about before."
Yan Shenyu had already figured it out; Fu Jingran was the friend Xie Siyan had mentioned who wanted to get to know Yan Sheng.
