Chapter 334 - 334 THE PRETTY BOY
She often smiled no matter how hard her life was, and she also never scolded him even if he grew up as a delinquent all those years ago.
That woman always kept her feelings in her heart and covered them with a smile, no matter if it was a bad or good feeling. That was why Bai Chen had never known about how his mother had finally met his father all those years ago, nor about how she had ended up pregnant with him at that time.
Only from Wu Jinhai did Bai Chen learn more about how his mother met his father years ago. It turned out that the meeting was nothing special. It was a party, and things were getting hotter between them under the influence of the booze.
Or maybe it was not right to say that everything ended like that because of booze. Bai Chen still remembered how Wu Jinhai told him that someone deliberately mixed the liquor with something, and that was why things got out of control even if his father wasn’t the type who would betray his wife.
That was what Bai Chen had heard from Wu Jinhai. Many years ago, Wu Jinhai met his mother several times, and his mother was the one who revealed everything in front of the young Wu Jinhai.
Ah, Bai Chen actually felt a bit envious because his mother seemed to trust Wu Jinhai more than him. His mother had never revealed her past and chose to bring it to her grave, and in the end, Bai Chen needed to hear the truth from someone else.
But when Bai Chen thought about it, he assumed that his mother probably didn’t want to worry him with her dark story. It was a bitter and shameful story, and even if his mother told someone about it, nothing would change her past.
Tonight Bai Chen once again remembered his mother. To be honest, he never forgot his mother. Maybe he forgot about her just because he killed himself in his previous life and ended up being reincarnated in the modern world. Now that he had finally returned to this world and even if his mother was no longer around, Bai Chen missed his mother dearly.
.....
“It’s quite far from here, Prince Bai Chen. Are you sure it will be fine to ride a horse by yourself?”
When Bai Chen was still thinking about his mother, someone suddenly came to question him. The man held two reins in his hands, and two stallions walked beside him. Cautiously, the man and the horses stopped walking in front of Bai Chen.
It was still the same night when Wu Jinhai left the Xinyang Imperial Palace to secretly infiltrate Dong Lang, and it was Bai Chen’s turn to leave the palace after he reached an agreement with Yu Ming.
Yes, the man holding the two reins of the two horses was none other than Yu Ming, and his face had a slightly worried look as he kept his eyes on the man in white standing in front of him.
“I’ll be fine,” Bai Chen replied as he took over one of the reins in Yu Ming’s hands. “Wu Jinhai taught me how to ride a horse before I went to the Beast Hunting Event in the Forbidden Forest.”
Once again, Bai Chen recalled the memory. At that time, Wu Jinhai was still pretending to be Zhu Ge, and the man was very perverted then. The man would always look for opportunities to touch his body, and even when the man was teaching him how to ride a horse, he kept touching him here and there.
Suddenly, Bai Chen smiled slightly as he recalled the memory. Unknowingly, he had begun to miss Wu Jinhai even though it was only a few hours ago that the masked man had left the Xinyang Imperial Palace.
Bai Chen wasn’t the only one standing by the gates of the Imperial Palace. Standing before him, Yu Ming furrowed his brows when the Werewolf Prince suddenly smiled like a fool.
“I think it’s not fine for you to ride the horse alone, Prince Bai Chen. It seems your head is full of Wu Jinhai now, and I’m afraid you won’t be able to control the horse very well. It’s Wu Jinhai’s horse, and maybe he will get angry if anything happens to it.”
Bai Chen finally realized that he was acting like a clown just from thinking about Wu Jinhai, and that was why he wiped away his smile as he cleared his throat awkwardly. He didn’t expect that Yu Ming would be able to find out the reason behind his smile, and that was why he looked embarrassed now.
“Stop talking nonsense, Yu laoban! Who thought of that pervert?” Even if it was so obvious, Bai Chen still tried to deny the facts as he drew his body closer to the white stallion that Yu Ming had brought for him.
The stallion looked pretty somehow, and Bai Chen even wondered whether it was really a stallion or not. But Yu Ming had told him that the two of them would be leaving on two stallions, and that was why he had assumed that the stallion was just a pretty boy just like him.
That was a ridiculous thought, and he shook his head to dispel the unnecessary thought. He was getting ready to ride the horse as he tried to recall the memory of when Wu Jinhai taught him how to do it.
Fortunately, his brain worked fine this time, and he still remembered Wu Jinhai’s lesson, “Now you can ride the horse from the left side. First, put your left foot in the left stirrup, and then you can launch your body up toward the horse’s back. After that, you can gently sit on the horse’s back and place your right foot into the right stirrup.”
That was how Wu Jinhai taught him back then, and it sounded easy. Besides, he already had experience, and that was why he thought it would be easy. Thus, he didn’t hesitate to put his left foot in the horse’s left stirrup, and he carefully raised his body so he could sit on the horse’s back properly.
It certainly sounded easy, but evidently, Bai Chen wasn’t strong enough, or perhaps his body was too heavy, and that was why he lost his balance and almost fell to the ground if someone didn’t catch his ass in time.
Yes, his ass.
