Chapter 1269: You Were My Captive Anyway
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Cai Yi was stunned since the start, frozen on the spot holding his whip. It was until Yun Jian and Gu Nian were ten meters ahead that he snapped back to himself and whipped his horse to give chase.
As for the other two guys—since they had never learned how to horse race, both of them actually directed the horses elsewhere and thoroughly veered off the race track as they pulled the reins.
Of course, the students’ attention was not on the two guys. From the moment Yun Jian and Gu Nian shot off of the starting line and left Cai Yi far behind them, they knew that Cai Yi was certainly losing this round!
The point now was to see who would win between Yun Jian and Gu Nian.
Needless to say, the shock was overwhelming to the spectators right in the beginning. No one had expected both the girls to be so skilled that they had gone so far ahead of Cai Yi once they sprinted from the starting line.
“Oh my god, Yun Jian and that girl are insane!” someone began to exclaim watching Yun Jian and Gu Nian who were dashing on the track.
“Don’t forget that Yun Jian’s in the Advanced Special Forces! She’s Slashing God of Team Monarch!” someone reminded.
Others cheered and squealed for Yun Jian once they heard that. In a blink of eyes, everyone’s attention was on Yun Jian and Gu Nian as they broke out in cheers and hurrahs.
Cai Lin paled immediately. How was it possible? How could her cousin Cai Yi possibly lose to Yun Jian and that girl?!
“Guys, look! Over there!” someone shouted pointing at Yun Jian and Gu Nian who were much farther away.
The rest of the teenagers trailed their gazes after the person only to see Yun Jian gripping the rein and eventually surpassing Gu Nian. It was quite a challenge for Gu Nian to keep up but it was still discernible that Gu Nian was adequately skilled as well.
“Goodness, I’ve spent 30-40 years in this stable and this is my first time seeing a horse race this exciting!” Even Uncle Zhang could not help clutching the red flag that substituted a whistle as he tensed up.
Since Uncle Zhang was the professional, the teenagers who heard what he said felt their hearts lurch. How impressive must Yun Jian and Gu Nian be when even Uncle Zhang expressed his exclamation?
Yun Jian and Gu Nian stayed in their pace, maintaining front and back respectively, all the way until they were about to reach the finishing line. During the last ten seconds spurt, though, Yun Jian suddenly accelerated holding the rein. Gu Nian could no longer speed up, already at her limit.
In the last few seconds, Yun Jian charged past the finishing line five seconds earlier than Gu Nian did, jumping off the horse once she went past the line.
The horse was still galloping speedily and her jump was an incredibly dangerous act but she made it look easy.
Landing on the ground with a hop, Yun Jian then grabbed the rein to restrain the aggressive horse that was about to bolt away. It all took three seconds, top, for her to complete the series of action.
Gu Nian, on the contrary, held the rein to slow down her horse after arriving at the finishing line. When she stopped, Yun Jian was already looking at her with a squint.
Gu Nian hopped off the horse with a flip as well. The ease of both of them unmounting from the horses did not match their age as teenagers. The others were stupefied.
‘As Gu Nian walked toward Yun Jian, she chuckled and told the latter, “I admit my defeat! Yun Jian, I, Gu Nian, shall work with you from today onward! Do you accept me?”
Yun Jian crossed her arms languidly and narrowed her eyes, replying what exasperated Gu Nian after some time, “You were my captive anyway.”
