Chapter 149 -132: Yan Li, Rage Meter Off the Charts

The adorable girl before him had eyes only for him.

Xiao Ran’s temples throbbed at the sight.

‘She’s trying to sweet-talk me!’

‘This was his greatest weakness!’

Whenever she acted like this, she was like a sad little kitten, making her impossible to refuse.

He gulped, a blatant flicker of hesitation in his determined eyes. “No!”

‘If she really has a wardrobe malfunction, it’ll be no laughing matter. She’ll be a total laughingstock in the streaming world!’

The rejected girl sniffled, looking wronged.

‘Hmph, I knew he wouldn’t agree. But what can I do? An opportunity like this doesn’t come around every day.’

‘Besides, I really won’t flash anyone!’

‘I’m wearing a skirt, but I have safety shorts on underneath! And I can just pin the skirt down!!!’

Yan Xici’s delicate pink lips formed a pout, her voice as soft and sweet as mochi. “Please, Xiao Ran? I promise, I absolutely won’t flash anyone~”

With that, she rose onto her tiptoes and whispered in Xiao Ran’s ear, in a voice only he could hear, “Xiao Ran, don’t be jealous. I promise I’m only showing you. Absolutely no one else!”

Then she came back down off her toes, looking at Xiao Ran with a completely serious expression.

In an instant, Xiao Ran felt himself go numb.

‘What kind of audacious thing is that to say? What does she mean she’s only showing me?!’

‘I mean, there’s nothing wrong with what she said, but doesn’t putting it that way make me sound really petty????? ‘

But since she’d put it that way, he really had no reason left to refuse.

He pursed his lips, his eyes full of hesitation. “Okay, fine. But I have to be the one leading the horse!”

‘As long as I control the speed and don’t let it get too fast, there shouldn’t be a problem.’

After all, this was an endurance event; it would take at least twenty minutes to get through it.

Having gotten his permission, the girl clapped her hands gleefully. Her whole face lit up with a smile, as innocent as a child’s.

“Yay! I knew Brother Xiao Ran was the best!”

The viewers on the other side of the screen were getting goosebumps.

Was this a public display of affection?

Luring everyone in with the promise of a barbecue just to shove their PDA in everyone’s faces?

It’s a classic bait and switch to slaughter the single folks!!!

Mimi: That’s too much! I scrolled past a thousand other streamers to watch you, and you publicly execute me!

IDontLoveAnymore: Oh my god, are they giving us the whole overbearing CEO routine? Sorry, not sorry, I’m trash for this, and I love to see it!

NannanDontEatPumpkin: I’m trash for this too! I love it!

BaTian: Let go of that girl and let her come act cute for me! Forget the horse, she can ride me!

DongBuSong: Screw you! Ride me, ride me! I have more stamina!

The live stream chat was in total chaos. The viewers were sharply divided along gender lines, but the atmosphere was just as lighthearted.

Afraid Xiao Ran would change his mind, Yan Xici grabbed his hand and hurried toward the stables. By now, the sky was growing darker, with only a faint bit of light remaining. Xu Cheng quickly had an employee turn on all the lights at the resort. The colored lights on the side of the building blended with the warm yellow glow, creating a beautiful sight.

It gave off the dazzling feel of neon lights, making the once-dim resort look vibrant and feel much livelier.

The two of them arrived at the stables first. The stables were large and kept very clean, with each horse having its own stall. Even though it was summer, there was thankfully no particularly unpleasant smell.

Yan Xici first gave her viewers a tour of the horses. There was a white one, a brown one, and also a very small horse. It was supposedly an imported breed; Yan Xici didn’t know which kind it was, but it looked adorable.

While Yan Xici was busy with her stream, Xiao Ran pulled Xu Cheng aside and whispered his instructions, “Pick out a gentle and obedient one for me!”

After a moment’s thought, he added, “And it had better be a mare!”

‘Of course, it wasn’t that I’m petty,’ he thought. ‘It’s just that my girlfriend is a girl, so it’s a better match~’

At his words, Xu Cheng stared at Xiao Ran in astonishment.

“Dude, you can’t be serious. It’s one thing to ask for a gentle one, but insisting on a mare is just going too far!”

‘What the hell!’

‘He’s even jealous of an animal!’

‘I never realized it before. Turns out this guy is a total jealousy freak.’

Xiao Ran’s tone was impatient. “Less talk, more action. Hurry up!”

‘If it weren’t for helping promote Xu Cheng’s resort, he would never, ever let Yan Xici ride a horse in a skirt. No matter how he looked at it, he felt like he was getting totally ripped off!’

Xu Cheng gulped, furious but not daring to say a word.

In the end, he still dutifully helped Xiao Ran pick out the most obedient and docile horse available—a tall, white steed.

The two of them led the horse to the riding ring, and only then did Xiao Ran walk over to Yan Xici’s side. “Um, Xu Cheng picked out a horse for you. Let’s go over.”

“Oh, okay.” The girl nodded obediently and followed Xiao Ran.

Because the atmosphere on the stream was so lively, the viewer count kept climbing. It had already doubled to a full twenty thousand people!

The girl was beyond excited. Xu Cheng brought over a helmet he had prepared and helped Yan Xici put it on.

In her little sandaled feet, the girl stepped onto the mounting block. With a push from her calf and a straightening of her thigh, she quickly swung herself up and straddled the horse.

Immediately after, she smoothed out her skirt with her small hands, firmly pinning the hem under her legs on both sides.

That way, she wouldn’t have to worry about any wardrobe malfunctions.

Since Xiao Ran had to lead the horse, Yan Xici’s phone ended up in Xu Cheng’s hands.

Xu Cheng quickly backed away a little, then began to film with a serious expression.

On the livestream feed, Xiao Ran was leading the horse with the girl sitting on its back. The dim lamplight shone down on them. The area was silent; aside from the CLIP-CLOP of the horse’s hooves, almost no other sound could be heard.
