You've Grown Up-Learn to Earn a Living (Fifth Update)

Jiang Hao walked over to Crimson Horse and muttered in his ear for quite a while. Then he swung neatly into the saddle, squeezed his legs against the horse's flanks, and Crimson Horse took off across the grass at full speed. They had been together for nearly two years. Jiang Hao had ridden him even more often than he had ridden Dina, and man and horse had long since reached perfect harmony. To everyone else, it was as though a streak of red flashed before their eyes, shooting into the distance in an instant.

"Fine horse, fine riding!"

One of the private horse owners could not help praising him.

Director Zhou said to the assistant beside him, "Get this on film later. I want to see how it looks. I'm afraid the shot I want is too idealized."

The assistant nodded and picked up a professional handheld camera to start filming.

Jiang Hao rode Crimson Horse around twice before slowing down. Then, not far from the crowd, Crimson Horse suddenly stumbled, and horse and rider both tumbled to the ground.

"Ah!"

Zhou Xinyan cried out, thinking something had happened. She hurried toward them, and the others, equally startled, followed after her.

Jiang Hao struggled to his feet, crawled over to Crimson Horse, hugged his head, and called hoarsely, "Little Red Date, Little Red Date, what's wrong?"

Jiang Hao's voice was not loud, but it carried a touch of raspiness that made everyone who heard it feel a deep, all-consuming sorrow.

By then, Zhou Xinyan had already rushed to Crimson Horse's side. Without caring about the dirt on the ground, she dropped to her knees and hugged Jiang Hao. "Jiang Hao, how are you? Are you hurt?"

Jiang Hao turned to look at Zhou Xinyan, tears already welling in his eyes.
