“Yuan Shu!” The two of them exclaimed in unison.

The voice came from beside Yuan Shu. It was Jiang Chen, who had been following her.

Another voice came from afar. It was Shi Xiao’s voice.

In order for her boss to meet Madam as soon as possible, Zhao Mian didn’t even take a lunch break and completed her task in advance. This allowed Shi Xiao to have time to arrive early.

Shi Xiao didn’t expect to see such a dangerous scene as soon as he entered the filming set. Without regard for his image at all, he shouted Yuan Shu’s name. Then, he took off his suit jacket and ran towards Yuan Shu.

Despite everyone feeling anxious for her, Yuan Shu didn’t panic at all. After getting on the horse, she sat on the saddle steadily, but she didn’t hold the reins tightly immediately. Instead, she stroked the horse’s neck gently to calm it down.

She even comforted the horse gently, “Don’t be afraid, don’t be afraid.”

Then, Yuan Shu used the reins to make it spin around the field to prevent it from hurting others. When the horse was no longer as irritable as before and its pace was very stable, Yuan Shu slowly pulled the reins tightly until she stopped the horse completely.

After the horse neighed, it stopped obediently. Only then did Yuan Shu jump down from the horse. Her movements were swift and handsome. It was obvious that she was very good at riding horses.

When Yuan Shu got off the horse, she tugged at the pedal. Then, the horse neighed. It seemed to be very uncomfortable.

Yuan Shu acutely sensed its actions and realized that it might have lost control because something under the saddle made it feel pain.

The people around her had already surrounded her. Jiang Chen ran to her side quickly and checked to see if she was injured. He was so worried that his usually gentle face was filled with panic and fear. “Are you alright?”

Although he knew that Yuan Shu was good at riding horses and had grown up on horseback, what if this unruly horse still hurt her?

Jiang Chen didn’t dare to think further. He still felt very scared and regretful. If he hadn’t dragged Yuan Shu to watch this scene, the scene just now wouldn’t have happened…

Yuan Shu, on the other hand, looked calm. She didn’t take the scene just now to heart at all. Instead, she wanted to know what was under the saddle. Just as she was about to push Jiang Chen’s hand away, she was pulled over by a hand and bumped into a broad chest.

Shi Xiao ran to Yuan Shu’s side. He was also worried and afraid that he ignored everything else and pulled Yuan Shu into his arms. It seemed that only by hugging her tightly in his arms could he be sure that she was safe.

After he hugged Yuan Shu’s shoulders tightly, he realized that this woman was actually so thin and weak that he could wrap one arm around her. How could she dare to face a frightened horse with such a thin body? Didn’t she know fear? What if something happened to her?

Yuan Shu was suffocated by his tight hug. She felt that Shi Xiao’s grip was so strong that it seemed to be crushing her bones. Yuan Shu frowned and placed her hands on his waist to push him away, but he hugged her even tighter.

Yuan Shu could only lift her head out of his arms with difficulty. Shi Xiao was hugging Yuan Shu so tightly that Yuan Shu couldn’t breathe properly. “Shi Xiao… let go of me first.”

Only then did Shi Xiao realize that he had hugged Yuan Shu too hard. He immediately let go of Yuan Shu.

He was still a little out of breath. When he ran over just now, he used the fastest speed he had used in the past 20 years. Now that he was relieved, he actually felt his legs go weak.

He opened to say something, but then he closed his mouth again. Clearly, he hadn’t recovered from his worry. After a moment, he said, “Are… are you alright?”

Looking at Shi Xiao’s slightly red eyes, Yuan Shu’s heart softened. Then, she reached out to hold Shi Xiao’s hand and comforted him. “I’m fine, so don’t worry.”

When her soft fingers touched the back of Shi Xiao’s hand, he trembled. Then, he immediately grabbed her hand and held it tightly.

His eyes were filled with panic and he couldn’t help but repeat, “It’s good that you’re fine.. It’s good that you’re fine…”
