Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty Six

Bolai examined his clothes in the dressing room, and found that pale yellow and violet looked better on him than on Simon.If he had Roger's dark complexion, he might have looked better in this spring-like light suit.He couldn't help feeling a little jealous when he thought of Roger.All afternoon, whenever he saw Eileen, Roger would be by his side, and what was worse, Eileen seemed to like it. Bolai adjusted the yellow sun hat over his eyes, feeling very uncomfortable. "What does it matter to you? You're her brother, remember?" "Shut up! " "Anyway, stop daydreaming!"

"Shut up! " Almost everyone in the locker room had left, so he also came out and found Cheron, whom he was going to ride for the race.The main program of the day has ended, and the atmosphere in the venue has relaxed.Under the big tree, some runners who are about to participate in the next horse race are walking around among the cafes with their horses.At this time, Bolai saw Peiqi alone, his eyes were searching the crowd, obviously looking for someone.She looked tired and haggard.When she came to Bolai, Bolai greeted him softly and said, "I'm really not lucky today."

"Hi! Mr. Asybe! Oh, what do you mean?" "I mean the drum beat!" "Oh, you mean that!" Her words seemed philosophical, but Beau could have sworn that when he first saw her, her eyes were full of tears. "Good luck with your race," she said to Beau. Bo thanked her and was about to leave when Peggy suddenly said, "Mr. Ashby, do you think I offended Simon somewhere?" Bolai replied that he didn't know either. "Oh, it's just—it's just because he's been avoiding me recently, and I can't remember what I did wrong—" Her eyes were clearly filled with tears when she said this.

"Oh, never mind," she forced a smile, but with little success, waved away. It turns out that Peggy is still deeply attached to Simon.It seemed that what she yearned for was not to be the eldest mistress of the Asyubie family, but Simon. Poor Peggy, she didn't know that Simon couldn't forgive her for having the whirlwind. Eileen rode "Buster" to stop under the tree, and Roger was still there.He's got a pony to race in a bit too.It seemed that Roger was narrating something eloquently, and Eileen was listening intently, nodding her head in agreement from time to time.

He went to the stables, where he saw Beatrice and Gray.Cheron looked tense and unhappy at the moment. "It was the voices of the audience that frightened him," Gray said. "He heard them, but he didn't know what they were. If I were you, Mr. Burt, I'd take him out for a walk, a walk." Relax. Let him look at those people, and he will understand where the sound is coming from." So Bolai took Cheron to walk around in the park, and gradually, it became less impetuous, just as Gray said.Then he saw Simon approaching, and Simon told him that it was almost time for him to report to the starting point.

"Did you remember to sign the book?" Simon asked him. "Book?" Bo Lai asked puzzledly, "What do you sign for?" "Shows your consent to someone taking your horse out." "I've never heard of signing the book. Aren't all the participating horses registered?" "Yes. But in the past few years, there have always been some outsiders who have ridden the horse without the owner's consent, taking advantage of it for nothing. Once, someone even rode a tired horse and broke its leg. " "Okay, where's the book?" "In the gym. I'll watch Cheron until you get back," Simon suggested.

In the office, Bolai saw Sergeant Small sitting behind the counter, greeting him. "Hello, Mr. Asybe, your family is doing very well, three firsts, do you want to add another one? What book? Oh, you mean the signature list, there are some, here it is .” After signing the form, Bo Lai said that he had never heard of the signing. "I'm afraid not. I haven't heard of it myself, but it does prevent some damage. There was a guy last year whose horse was taken to ride without his knowledge, and he later sued the farm show, saying He suffered a loss and almost won. So your brother suggested this new method this year."

"My brother? Simon suggested it?" "Yeah, he's in charge. That way, no one can say the horse was taken out without his permission." "yes? " Saying that, Bo came to the back and brought Cheron out from Arthur. "Mr. Bert, Mr. Simon said he couldn't wait to go and asked me to give you the horse, but he wished you good luck." It turned out that Simon had gone back to the stands to watch the final game with his family. "It's okay, thank you, Arthur." "Would you like me to accompany you to the starting point, Mr. Bert?"

"No, thank you." "Then, I will find a good place to watch the game. Good luck, we are all optimistic about you." Arthur walked quickly through the crowd. Bolai put the reins on Cheron's head, and was about to step on the horse, when it suddenly occurred to him to check the horse's girdle again.He had tightened the girdle just now, but maybe it wasn't too tight. Unexpectedly, someone did not know who loosened the abdominal belt. Bo Lai held the loose edge of the abdominal belt with his hand, and was stunned for a while.After he handed the horse over to Simon, someone secretly loosened the girdle.He stretched out his hand to check the looseness of the girdle, thinking: If the horse can run like this, the saddle will slide on Cheron's back because of the slack, and Cheron will be greatly stimulated and gallop of.What would happen to him on the horse then? Did Arthur loosen it? Not likely.It was probably Simon who did it.

He hastily tightened his girdle again and led Cheron to the starting point.When they arrived at the starting point, Roger, who was wearing a red and white horse suit and riding stockings, was waiting there at a glance. "You must be Bert." As soon as Roger saw Bolai, he said, "My name is Ke Luojie." He turned to shake Bolai's hand. "Glad you're back at Bull again." "Who won the match just now?" "It's me. I'm only a little faster than Lian'er." What a "Lian'er"! "Last year she won this race riding Buster, and it doesn't matter if she changes it this year. No matter what this year, I must go back with a silver cup."

Bolai didn't have time to ask him why he had to take a silver cup back this year.Now they had started to line up, he on the fifth runway, Roger on the far outer runway.A total of fourteen groups of men and horses participated in the race, which began not by running out of the fence, but by waving flags as marks. At first, Bolai was not in a hurry.He let the others run ahead of him, so that he had ample opportunity to get to know his opponent.He found that at least five horses had participated in too many races in one day, and they were now at the end of their strength, just barely walking there.There were three other horses, he had also seen them participate in the jumping competition, and now they didn't have much strength left.That left five possible opponents, three of which were quite dangerous, and the stocking that Roger was riding was one of them. Cheron seemed to enjoy seeing other horses ahead of her, and was quite pleased with her current standings. She leaped over several fences with confidence.You can almost hear her humming easily as she runs and dances. She watched the two young knights whose horses couldn't jump the fence, and nearly stepped her hoof on their faces. Gradually, there were fewer and fewer horses ahead of him. Bolai began to speed up.He passed the fifth possible opponent effortlessly, the fourth ran hissing, and at the farthest point ahead there were only three remaining, Roger being one of them. Ke Luojie looked around.When his eyes caught Bolai, he smiled amicably, and they had no time for politeness otherwise. The four horses accelerated at the same time, galloping on the green avenue with bright red flags on both sides, as if they knew that the highest honor was waiting for them.Gradually, the brown horse slowed down, and although the other horse went straight forward unremittingly, it was also known from its performance that its situation was not optimistic; Not much has changed either. Beau took a look at the stocking and saw that it was running fast and concentrated. From the expression of Roger riding on it, Roger must have known it.Now there are only two fences left.He didn't quite know how much physical strength and speed Cheron had left, so he decided: the safest way is to play a trick and fool Ke Luojie. He intentionally let Cheron catch up with the stockings head-on, and pretended to be trying his best. Seeing this, Roger also speeded up to keep pace with him, and the two jumped over the last two fences together.At this moment Bolai deliberately slowed down, a little behind Roger, and ran out of Roger's sight, and then he relaxed Cheron a little.Roger saw that the finish line was in front of him, and Bolai was still behind. He must have been unable to catch up with him, and he was glad that he didn't need to make an intense final sprint; He rushed forward with strides.Roger was startled, and tried to speed up the stockings, but it was too late—it was too close to the finish line! Things were just as Bolai had planned—he stole the championship! “You really have two Brush! Admire! Admire!" When they took the horse back together, Ke Luojie smiled at him: "I have to check my head well." Regardless of whether Ailian will marry Ke Luojie or not in the future, Bo Lai feels that he also likes this young man.
