Chapter 106: Chapter 70 Fantasy_4

"I’m not being noisy." Xiao Yu huffed lightly, the breeze blowing her bangs to reveal her sparkling big eyes. She exuded a vibrant energy that was uncharacteristic of the women from the Capital.

"So, you’re the top scorer’s junior fellow." Seeing the affection in Ning Xiao’s eyes, Su Wan’s expression darkened slightly, though her smile remained, "Since the top scorer is excellent in both literature and martial arts, I presume your junior must also be a rare talent. I wonder if I could learn a thing or two from her."

Ning Xiao was about to decline, but Xiao Yu excitedly interjected, "Can I also ride a horse? That would be great."

"Junior fellow." Ning Xiao frowned, "No mischief allowed."

"Senior Brother, let me play around," Xiao Yu’s eyes sparkled brightly, "Master didn’t let me ride horses in the mountains, now that we’re down, let me play."

"Since the junior fellow is willing to compete, why should Mr. Ning stop her?"

"Alright then." Ning Xiao had no choice but to agree, but he was still worried about his junior’s safety, "My junior is not good at horse riding, please be patient with her, Miss Su."

"You’re being modest." Su Wan rode her horse coldly to the side.

By the time Xiao Yu changed and came riding over, the competition officially started.

As Ning Xiao said, Xiao Yu indeed wasn’t skilled in horsemanship, she couldn’t keep up with Su Wan’s speed, and even fell off the horse near the finish line when the horse got startled.

Xiao Yu falling off was actually just a part of the script.

Such scenes wouldn’t actually involve letting the actor fall; they’re generally shot by breaking down into several shots and then assembled to create the illusion of falling off a horse.

However, that was what the director had anticipated.

The reality was that Lin Man was just too scared to ride a horse, so she kept pulling tightly on the horse’s reins.

The tighter she pulled, even the most gentle horse would eventually panic when its life felt threatened.

After a loud neigh, the horse that Lin Man rode reared up, crazily trying to throw her off.

Lin Man screamed and as the world whirled around her, a pair of strong hands caught her, then slowly lowered her onto the grass.

Knowing the script, Lin Man knew it was Qin Yu who saved her. Gratefully she opened her eyes, only to see a flawless, snow-white chin.

"Shu Wan?!"

Shu Wan slightly lowered her head and removed her hands from Lin Man’s waist, "Don’t pull the reins that tight. The horse is already gentle, and if you pull its neck like that, it’s bound to resist."

Actually, Lin Man didn’t absorb a word Shu Wan said.

She stared fixedly at Shu Wan’s chin and neck, feeling irritably jealous.

As expected of a temptress, even this close, her skin was still so perfect.

"Lin Man, are you alright?" The director, startled by her fall, hurried over to inquire.

"I’m fine," Lin Man shook her head.

"It’s been a long shoot, you all take a break, come on, group B, it’s your turn."

As the drama’s protected animal, once Lin Man had a mishap, everyone surrounded her, isolating Shu Wan outside the crowd.

She didn’t mind, glanced at the time, then picked up her bag and went to read a book on the side.

The college entrance exams were coming up soon; she had to review a bit more.

On the other side, Lin Man received consolations from everyone, and when she finally made her way out of the crowd, the agent came running towards her, furious.

"It’s not your fault for disliking Shu Wan, really, she’s too cunning. It’s just the first day of the shoot and her desire for fame has been completely exposed!"

Lin Man, confused, responded, "What happened?"

The agent showed her the phone, "Look, right after you finished shooting, your set photos were leaked online, so clear. Who else could it be but someone from the crew?"

As the biggest beneficiary of Lin Man’s downfall, Shu Wan was naturally the first suspect of the agent.

Lin Man took the phone and her blood pressure shot up immediately.

It was a video of her competing in horse riding with Shu Wan.

In the video, Shu Wan walked comfortably and confidently, making it look easy, while her horse galloped swiftly.

She, on the other hand, looked terribly scared, practically crouching on the horseback.

Most importantly, thanks to good facial expressions management, Shu Wan looked radiant as if glowing, whereas Lin Man, with her features distorted, lost all her charm in the video.

[I remember Shu Wan first went viral on the internet was because of her horse riding video, she really knows how to ride, this skill is amazing, and most importantly, her ancient costume looks absolutely stunning.]
