Roam the Jianghu

Racetrack Town.

After Adam and Max finished their banter, Adam, led by Caroline, went to the stables and met the legendary BMW, Chestnut.

"Chestnut!"

Caroline ran over happily, stroking the horse's head with a joyful expression.

This former champion horse was quite intelligent; it tilted its head, nudged Caroline, and then let Caroline stroke it, looking completely content.

"This is Chestnut."

MAX fell in love with it at first sight.

No way.

Women love things that are fluffy, in addition to shiny things.

MAX is no exception.

Previously, she accompanied Caroline to climb over the wall back to the Channing family's mansion. When they came out again, Caroline was dressed casually, while she was covered in fur coats.

This time, however, she wasn't wearing Sunglasses. She strode into the subway with an air of nonchalance, then tilted her head and asked the passersby who were glancing at her with a smug look, "Jealous?"

Moreover, the reason Max is willing to adopt those stray cats and dogs is not only because she is a kind-hearted and adorable person, but also because she likes them.

Otherwise, Adam believed she would have added without hesitation, "It smells so good!"

The term "sharp tongue" and "dirty joke" is not just a figure of speech.

"MAX, come quick!"

Caroline waved to Max, eager to introduce her new friend to her family member Chestnut.

"Chestnut, this is Max, my best friend. During this difficult time, she gave me, no, she gave us, so much warmth. You must remember her."

"Hey."

MAX waved his hand to indicate that it was nothing, but he also looked at Chestnut expectantly and wanted to reach out and touch her.

"It's okay, Chestnut."

Caroline encourages close relationships between people and horses.

"Hi, Chestnut."

MAX slowly placed his hand on Li Bao's, and seeing that Chestnut did not resist, his smile became even brighter.

Adam watched with a smile, not wanting to disturb their sweet moment.

The reason he was late and didn't accompany them the whole time was to allow them more interaction and to enhance their relationship.

He knew Max too well; given her personality, if Caroline were bullied, she would definitely step in when necessary.

Moreover, in such a place, Caroline had fallen on hard times in this way, would definitely be bullied or feel lost and sad.

Having been bullied by the same people she used to live in, yet being wholeheartedly protected by Max, even though Caroline is naturally sunny and inherited her father's scheming talent, she will most likely gradually develop genuine feelings for Max.

Max, having received positive feedback, will undoubtedly value Caroline as a friend even more.

This is a positive cycle.

Feelings are something that gradually accumulates and evolves through shared experiences and interactions.

It's truly good when everyone is happy.

"Let's go, let's choose our own horse."

After a while, Adam reminded him.

"Are you really going to buy it?"

MAX was clearly interested.

"We've already bought the horse farm estate, how can we not have horses?"

Adam laughed.

Caroline led Chestnut along with Adam others to choose a horse.

The stable manager David, was already waiting there. He had been informed by Adam's assistant, Ada, that the best horses from the stable had been gathered together for Adam and his team to choose from.

"MAX, pick one."

Adam gestured for MAX to pick.

"I want the pure white one!"

MAX immediately took a liking to the white horse.

The horse farm manager gave a signal, and a staff member immediately led the white horse over, allowing MAX to get up close and personal with it.

"MAX, let's give her a name."

Caroline reminded her.

"Give it a name?"

Max tilted his head and thought for a moment, then looked at Adam: "Adam, can you help me think of a name?"

"How about Little Mare?"

Adam smiled knowingly.

"No!"

MAX firmly rejected this name, which had obvious implications.

Don't ask her how she knows.

The moment she saw Adam's smile, she knew everything without saying a word. She could even guess that the name probably had some origin story from the East Country.

No way.

She knew Adam too well; she knew Adam liked this kind of thing.

She's the queen of sharp-tongued, risqué jokes, a trait determined by her upbringing.

But she didn't want her beloved horse to have such a wicked name.

"Then take whatever you like."

Adam laughed and said, "Whatever makes you happy. Anyway, my horse is called Little Mare."

MAX rolled his eyes, but ignored Adam and thought about it seriously before saying, "Caroline's is called Chestnut, so how about I call mine Sugar Baby?"

"..."

Adam stared at Max speechlessly.

This name is practically identical to that of Little Mare.

"How about it?"

Max looked at Adam and Caroline expectantly.

"Very good!"

"As expected of you!"

Caroline and Adam gave a thumbs up.

"Alright!"

Ignoring the teasing in Adam's eyes, Max happily stroked his white horse and announced, "From now on, your name will be Sugar Baby."

After Adam had also chosen a horse, he suggested they leave.

Caroline mounted her horse.

Adam also mounted his beloved Little Mare, reached out and lifted the awkward and unsure MAX onto it, placing him in front of him.

"I'll teach you how to ride first, then you can ride your Sugar Baby."

"What about my Sugar Baby?"

MAX looked at the empty White Horse Sugar Baby.

"I'll hold them for you."

Caroline spurred Chestnut, walked to Sugar Baby's side, leaned over, took the reins, and led Sugar Baby along.

"If you learn quickly, you'll be able to ride Sugar Baby by yourself sooner."

Adam spurred the mare, and Little Mare galloped off towards the edge of the paddock.

Caroline rode Chestnut on her back, with Sugar Baby.

Adam rode and taught along the way.

It's not like we're going to a competition right away; it's just horseback riding. How difficult can it be?

Max quickly mastered the technique and then clamored to ride her Sugar Baby herself.

Adam smiled and agreed, letting Max down and protecting her as she rode on Sugar Baby. Then he rode the Little Mare next to Sugar Baby, while Caroline rode Chestnut close by on the other side.

Three people and three horses rode side by side at a slow pace.

Soon they arrived at what was formerly Channing Manor, now Black Manor.

"Wow!"

Riding Sugar Baby's MAX into the manor, and seeing the endless lawn, I suddenly felt a surge of excitement. I spurred my horse like Adam and the others, and Sugar Baby carried me at breakneck speed, cheering loudly.

Be careful.

Adam, riding his Little Mare, immediately followed, ready to come to the rescue at any moment.

If you go that fast, a fall could be disastrous.

Black Manor is surrounded by woods, which completely conceals the view of outsiders. The three of them ran freely on the vast lawns surrounding the manor, having a great time.

Facing the spring breeze.

Adam couldn't help but sing the theme song of the TV series "The Ode to Gallantry, "Roam the Jianghu.

Galloping through the world.

Live a carefree life in this world.

A hero will not bow down to a beautiful woman.

His ambition was higher than the sky.

A cold and aloof demeanor.

It was created by heaven and earth.

The sword swept away the demons and gods, who were terrified.

A true hero is a young man.

Holding the blood-stained sword of the setting sun.

My heart is like a cold moon, frozen with frost.

From the summit, one can see all the mountains below.

A man's journey through this world is but a fleeting one.

Adam's life was truly worthwhile!

This was a completely new way of playing that MAX had never experienced before, and with Sugar Baby as her sense of belonging, MAX had no intention of stopping at all.

They naturally stayed overnight.

After dinner and resting for a while, MAX started clamoring to ride Sugar Baby again.

Caroline said she was tired and didn't go.

Adam followed on Little Mare to prevent Max from falling and getting hurt due to excessive speed.

Under the moonlight, the lights installed throughout the manor shone with a hazy glow, reflecting the moonlight and creating indistinct shadows of the surrounding trees, giving the manor a hazy beauty that did not hinder cycling at all.

Caroline walked around the manor that used to be her own, listening to the faint sounds of East Country songs carried on the wind outside, feeling the grandeur of the place, and she was completely mesmerized.
