I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 142 Ostrich

Caiyi finally managed to climb out of the car window, moving very carefully, afraid of startling the giant ostrich.

As she was about to successfully leave the vehicle, she suddenly remembered that she had some fresh tomatoes in her backpack, so she quickly took a few out of her backpack and handed them to the ostrich that was pecking at her.

The ostrich seemed very interested in the tomatoes; it stopped pecking and focused on savoring their deliciousness.

Seeing this, Cai Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, while at the same time, he was itching to explore the ostrich's back.

She observed the ostrich's long, powerful legs, which looked full of strength and vitality.

Moreover, it did not show any aggression; on the contrary, it appeared rather docile.

So Caiyi decided to give it a try, and she carefully turned over and sat on the ostrich's back.

The ostrich felt her weight, but did not resist or run away; it simply stood there quietly.

Caiyi was somewhat surprised. She had originally thought that the ostrich would react to the unfamiliar touch, but that was not the case.

However, the ostrich's next move caught Cai Yi off guard.

It suddenly stopped moving, its long neck tilted to one side, and its black eyes stared intently at Caiyi, as if scrutinizing her.

Then, it began pecking at Caiyi's cheeks, a sensation that Caiyi found both novel and amusing.

Caiyi couldn't help but laugh; she felt that the ostrich had no intention of attacking.

But she still hoped the ostrich could run, so she whispered, "Could you run a little?"

Just then, the ostrich seemed to understand her meaning, and suddenly sped up, kicking up a cloud of dust behind it.

The ostrich doesn't run in a straight line, but in a curved arc, which makes Caiyi sway and bounce around a lot on its back.

The ostrich was indeed very fast, giving Caiyi a thrilling feeling of speed.

However, because the ostrich's running style was too bumpy, Caiyi eventually lost her balance and fell off the ostrich's back.

Fortunately, the sand was soft and comfortable, and Caiyi was not injured.

She lay on the ground, laughing happily, enjoying this moment of freedom and joy.

However, just as she was laughing happily, the ostrich in the distance suddenly ran back, and the dust it kicked up went directly into Caiyi's mouth.

"Bah, bah, bah, bah!"

Caiyi coughed as he spat out sand from his mouth.

Although she was a bit embarrassed, she still found the experience very interesting.

Interacting with animals is always full of surprises and delights, making it unforgettable and enjoyable.

Caiyi spat out the sand from his mouth, looked at the ostrich that was standing motionless in front of him, and stared into its eyes.

Then it pecked at me again.

Caiyi jumped onto its back, and the ostrich began to carry her as they ran across the sand.

Then Caiyi fell down again.

Barrage.

This looks like so much fun! Get off and let me ride!

Are there ostriches in the desert?

Yes, the desert isn't just home to ostriches; it also has cheetahs.

[Waaaaah, I'm so envious!]

I've already called the zoo to ask if I can ride an ostrich.

People told me that they value animals and advised against riding them.

【If it's not recommended, then it's fine. I'll buy zoo tickets now.】

[Perfect understanding!]

Jiang Li looked at the person and bird playing happily in the distance with a touch of envy, and a longing welled up in her heart.

She also wanted to participate and experience this fun game!

After all, who can resist a game like this?

Caiyi dared not exhaust himself completely, so he stopped playing after he had played enough.

She stood up from the sand and gently brushed the sand off her body so she wouldn't have to bring it into the car later.

After playing around for a while, her face was flushed red from the sun, and sweat kept pouring down her face.

After all, even if it's fun, it's hard to resist the sweltering heat in hot weather.

Caiyi nudged the still-unsatisfied ostrich a few times and said, "Alright, that's enough. You should go home now!"

She secretly wondered where this ostrich was kept; it was so interesting!

She'll bring Little White Flower to play next time!

Generally speaking, wild ostriches are somewhat aggressive and are not used to people sitting on their backs.

However, this ostrich appeared unusually docile and content, suggesting it was raised by humans.

Caiyi did not retreat the way he came, but waited quietly for the SUV to approach.

In the sweltering summer heat, she really didn't want to walk another step.

Ostriches can run much faster than off-road vehicles, and there is still a considerable distance between them and the off-road vehicles at this moment.

Caiyi simply sat cross-legged on the ground, gently stroking the ostrich's warm feathers and softly combing its black and white back.

Seeing this, the ostrich imitated Caiyi, lying down on the sand and then pecking at her hair.

Caiyi glared at it helplessly: "Why do you like my hair so much?"

She couldn't help but regret that she shouldn't have taken off the scarf when she went to sleep, as she couldn't even find anything to block out the sun now.

The scorching sun overhead was unbearably hot, making her feel like her head was on fire.

After a long while, the SUV finally arrived. Before the car even stopped, Cai Yi eagerly opened the door, quickly climbed inside, and closed the door, immediately feeling much cooler.

The ostrich wanted to continue the chase, but was blocked by the closed car door.

The ostrich pecked at the car window several times.

Caiyi rolled down the car window, fed the ostrich the last few tomatoes in his backpack, then patted it a few times and said, "Let's go back now, I'm not playing with you anymore!"

As he spoke, Caiyi closed the car window and waved at it.

The ostrich started running in no time, running very fast, and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving only a cloud of flying sand.

Xu Zhizhi, holding a mineral water bottle, said leisurely, "Caiyi, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to bully animals like this?"

"Nowadays, we emphasize the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, and we should not force things."

"Isn't it going too far to force an ostrich to be your mount?"

Caiyi, not wanting to argue with her any longer, said, "Yes, yes~ I'm sorry, I shouldn't have bullied an ostrich~ I'll be more careful next time, squeak~"

Hearing the apology, Xu Zhizhi felt a surge of resentment welling up inside her.

But I don't know how to refute Cai Yi's words.

Caiyi rolled her eyes as she looked at the silent Xu Zhizhi through the rearview mirror.

Was she rolling her eyes at Zhizhi?

[I don't think so, right?]

Cai Yi didn't care about any of that. She took a big gulp of mineral water, ate a piece of chocolate, and then said to Jiang Li, "Park the car for a bit. I'll take turns driving with you. Otherwise, what will you do if you get tired and hungry by yourself later?"

Jiang Li immediately understood Cai Yi's meaning and, without hesitation, parked the car and switched places with Cai Yi.

Cai Yi couldn't let these people think that driving was their job; they were all guests, so why should they be the drivers?
