Chapter 2037: Not Born by You, Yet Still Family

He was very disdainful, but Lu Zhenzhen told him that this was a precious breed of horse comparable to a Sweat Horse, especially when it reaches adulthood, it’s dashing and gallant, easily becoming the dream horse of silver Sweat Horses.

With just this description, Bo Qingshan was hoodwinked immediately, stubbornly refusing to change his horse, thinking he could grow up with the horse together. He was growing taller quickly, his face becoming more chiseled; given time, he would definitely be the most handsome man in the Bo Family.

As he became more handsome and masculine, by then his third uncle would be old and past it, and how could he compete?

Just thinking about it made him secretly delighted.

Suddenly the little horse bucked, leaping forward, scaring Bo Qingshan so much he let go of the reins, clinging to the horse’s neck, pressing his whole body down, laying entirely on the horse, while the horse’s neck struggled under the strain, drooping twice before suddenly lifting up, nearly tossing Bo Qingshan off the back.

In a rush, he turned his head and caught Bo Yanqing withdrawing his hand.

Wow, sneak attack from behind, patting his horse’s rear!

He shouted angrily: “Third uncle, you’re too mean! Why pat it when I’m on it! If I fall, it’ll scar! Ahhhh~~~ Why did it suddenly run so fast! Third uncle, help me!!”

Bo Yanqing leisurely urged his horse, not in a hurry, waiting until Bo Qingshan was taken for a lap by the little horse before speeding up, grabbing the reins to steady the horse.

“Whoa—”

The little horse bucked twice, circled around a bit, tapping its front hooves on the ground, slowly calming down.

Bo Qingshan was frozen, not daring to move until the little horse stopped its mad behavior, releasing the breath he was holding, his face tearful yet gritting his teeth in anger, “Third uncle, what are you doing! Why pat its behind! You scared me to death! What if I really fell off! Don’t you care at all! Even if I wasn’t born by you, I’m still family! How can you be so heartless!”

Bo Yanqing found him noisy, cupping the back of his head to forcefully turn Bo Qingshan’s face to the other side.

“What are you shouting for? I’ve taught you so many times, but when you panic, you forget all your skills. I told you to hold the reins, not choke it to death. Just use the stirrups, don’t grip the horse’s belly so tightly, afraid it won’t throw you down, insisting on provoking it. You’re pressing half your body on the horse’s neck, how can it bear it, and you’re yelling nonsense beside its ears. Never mind the horse, even ghosts could be scared to death by you!”

Bo Qingshan got scolded, but was full of defiance, his rebelliousness showing on his face. He discontentedly protested: “I wasn’t even ready yet, daring to ride it out after two steps, nothing would’ve happened if you hadn’t patted it!”

“Is that a reason? Bringing you to ride is not for play but to learn. If in the future there’s a path only passable by horse, if the horse gets startled, with your performance just now, the horse would live and you’d surely die!”

Bo Qingshan shrank his neck, gulping: “Is it that serious?”

He glanced at his third uncle, “But when do I need to ride a horse? Isn’t travel all by car, riding is just for fun.”

Why not, when he was a kid, Chief of Staff Li packed him into the jungle, Yaen Chi took several of them to find some wild horses. More untamed than those raised in the stables, they couldn’t tame them in a month. Unwilling to give up, they found vines to tie the horses, taking them wherever they went. They climbed mountain trails more than they rode horses at first, but once tamed, riding was indeed delightful.
