After Reborn, I Became the Bigshots' Beloved-Chapter 212: Sudden Change!

In the blink of an eye, Tang Yiyi’s horse charged towards the fifth double oxer and came to a sudden halt with its front legs.

Not only did it refuse to jump and turned around, but it also violently shook its neck, trying to shake off Tang Yiyi’s control on its back.

"Ah————!"

The horse was screaming, and Tang Yiyi was screaming along.

This sudden incident startled everyone around, who quickly turned their attention towards the arena.

At this moment, Tang Yiyi couldn’t care less about her image, clinging desperately to the horse’s neck and squeezing its body with her legs, barely avoiding being thrown to the ground.

After a while, the horse finally calmed down and stopped moving, allowing Tang Yiyi to sit back steadily.

But in the wake of the recent event, her helmet had slipped to the back, her face paled from fright, looking extremely disheveled.

As an equestrian instructor, You Yi naturally was the first to go to Tang Yiyi’s side, asking with a concerned face: "Are you okay, Ms. Tang?"

"I, I’m fine..."

Tang Yiyi only then recovered from the shock.

Then she felt, right at this moment, all eyes in the room were collectively turned toward her.

This instantly made Tang Yiyi feel like she had a thorn in her back, overwhelmed with embarrassment.

Originally, she wanted to show off her strongest skill in front of everyone, to really stand out, but now...

This was just, just too embarrassing!

A young lady who had always been pampered and praised, always being flattered and admired for anything she did, had never been embarrassed in front of so many people.

Especially not in front of the man she fancied.

When asked by You Yi, Tang Yiyi bit her lip in grievance, almost breaking into tears.

She was someone with an HBBK Level 3 equestrian certification.

Even in the competition she attended earlier this year, she never made a mistake when jumping double oxers.

But now, here at Shengjing’s double oxer which wasn’t considered very difficult, not only did her horse hit a pole once, but it also outright refused to jump at the final obstacle, nearly throwing her off on the spot.

Why did she have to make a mistake today, and just when she was competing against Lu Sheng!

She had even mocked Lu Sheng for possibly falling off his horse, waiting to see his embarrassing moment. Yet, it turned out that the one who made a fool of herself first was her.

"If you’re feeling startled, do you want me to have someone accompany you back to the classroom to rest?" You Yi asked softly.

"...No need," Tang Yiyi took a deep breath and said with a bitten lip, "I’m fine, coach. Moreover, Lu Sheng and I haven’t finished our competition yet, I can’t just leave."

She admitted her mistake, just like that.

Although the refusal and touching the pole cost her six points, at least she hadn’t been thrown off the horse directly, and she had smoothly jumped the first three obstacles, already overpowering most of the people present.

Even with such a performance, she was sure she was many times better than Lu Sheng.

She didn’t believe that Lu Sheng could successfully jump the five double oxer obstacles and have fewer refusals and touches than her.

When Tang Yiyi returned to the starting line following You Yi, Lu Sheng took a faint glance at her.

Even though Lu Sheng hadn’t said a word, Tang Yiyi was already bristling.

"What are you looking at! Don’t tell me you think that you can beat me just because I made a mistake?"

"I’m telling you, Lu Sheng, even if I make mistakes, I can still crush you."

After saying that, as if fearing that Lu Sheng might retort like he had before, she quickly urged, "Anyway, I’ve finished my turn, it’s your turn now, hurry up and jump!"

"Really?" Upon hearing this, Lu Sheng lightly tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Then you’d better watch closely."

"...Watch closely?" Tang Yiyi was taken aback, frowning subconsciously, "What do you want me to watch?"

The girl on horseback lifted her head, revealing her slender and graceful pale neck, her eyes cool and detached: "I want you to see what true domination looks like."

No sooner had she spoken than before Tang Yiyi could react, Lu Sheng had already ridden her horse to the starting line.

As Lu Sheng took her place, everyone in the audience couldn’t help but sweat for her.

Tang Yiyi’s riding skills were among the best in the students, and she had just made a mistake on her jump. Lu Sheng, who was a newcomer, might have an accident at any moment.

However, after a whistle sounded, in the following minute, everyone’s eyes widened in shock.

There were five obstacles, with double crossbars getting taller and further apart.

The further it went, the more heart-stopping it became to watch.

Yet the girl riding the horse remained calm and collected, legs clenched against the horse’s sides, her cool eyes beneath the helmet focused straight ahead throughout.

With both hands pulling on the reins, each approach to an obstacle, the takeoff, the leap over the bar, the steady landing, all were executed smoothly in one breath.

No accidents, no errors like touching the bar or refusing to jump — another jump that could be called textbook level.

Under her control, the horse was so well-behaved and docile that their coordination made it look even more effortless than when jumping a single bar.

As Lu Sheng nimbly rode over the last and tallest and widest double crossbars, only two words emerged in everyone’s minds — elegance.

Not only were the girl’s movements and skills exemplary, but her posture was also so elegant, a delightful sight to behold.

Even in a simple equestrian outfit, she radiated an aristocratic aura.

The moment Lu Sheng landed steadily at the finish line, the whole place erupted into cheers.

Awesome!!

Truly awesome!

A newcomer riding for the first time, jumping five double crossbars with zero errors, beating an HBBK Level 3 rider.

It was almost unbelievable, to the extent that no one would believe it if told! It seemed the forums were about to explode again.

Amidst the surrounding cheers and discussions, Lu Sheng rode her horse back to the starting point.

Tang Yiyi had already been shocked into a daze by everything she had just seen, and Lu Sheng glanced at her, "Now, do you accept your defeat fully?"

The girl seemed to have anticipated the outcome, her face expressionless, "There’s no need to take my surname in Shengjing. Just bring Lingxi to school tomorrow."

Lu Sheng finished speaking, and Tang Yiyi was still pale, her lips quivering, unable to believe what she had just witnessed.

Lu Sheng, however, had no intention of paying her any further attention.

Winning the competition, getting the medicinal herbs for Fourth Brother’s pills, was enough.

Lu Sheng diverted her gaze, raising her hand to press the buckle of the helmet under her chin, thinking to remove the somewhat tight helmet.

However, she didn’t notice that at this very moment, You Yi behind her was staring at her intently.

Just as Lu Sheng had removed her helmet, about to dismount, the well-behaved and docile chestnut horse beneath her suddenly jerked.

"Uh..."

The sudden restlessness of the horse shook Lu Sheng, making her whole form waver.

Before she could dismount, or indeed before she could react at all, the horse as if suddenly provoked by something fierce, threw its head up and let out a roar.

In the next instant, the horse suddenly raised its two front hooves high, and then, catching her off guard with no hand on the reins, Lu Sheng was carried forward as the horse bolted crazily out!
