The wind outside the window made the branches sway. Lu Shizhen seemed to remember that Aunt Sun had said that the temperature would drop today when she called her to get up this morning. She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now she felt the cold wind blowing straight at her fingertips.
Xu Shiyue's smile was clearly directed at Shen Yanxing, but Lu Shizhen somehow felt that she was speaking to him.
All kinds of shock were mixed together, and then instantly dismembered into many pieces, exploding in her heart with crackling sounds.
Why did Xu Shiyue go to the horse farm
Did she see something
And her eyesight is obviously not good, so why did she choose to go to a place like a horse farm where eyesight is very important
Am I ignorant? Don't they need to hide their business by riding on horses
Shen Yanxing also felt that this was not a good place, so he asked as a reminder: "Shiyue, are you sure you want to go to the horse farm?"
Xu Shiyue did not waver at all. As if to dispel people's doubts, she said bluntly: "No one would have thought that a blind man would go to a complicated place like a horse farm."
"That's true." Shen Yanxing was convinced.
"And you don't necessarily have to ride horses at the horse ranch." Xu Shiyue added, "When Uncle Shen and his family of three come to the horse ranch to spend the weekend, I will also go riding with Lu Shizhen and her sister. Our encounter will only be an accidental one, not a carefully planned meeting."
Although the meeting was brought up suddenly, Xu Shiyue's response was orderly and well-reasoned, as if it had been planned for a long time.
Shen Yanxing felt that Xu Shiyue's reason was perfect, and nodded in approval: "Shiyue, you are really thoughtful."
"Then I'll trouble you, Mr. Lu, to take Shiyue to the horse farm this weekend."
Shen Yanxing said this to Lu Shizhen, his voice and attitude polite and measured.
But even so, Lu Shizhen felt that the relationship between him and Xu Shiyue was suddenly distanced by this newcomer.
It seemed as if taking care of Xu Shiyue had become something that required her to be reminded by others, and helping Xu Shiyue had also become something that required her to be asked to do so.
Lu Shizhen realized that she seemed to have created something out of nothing, but she still didn't like the feeling of being born.
She just wanted to look at Shen Yanxing who was standing opposite her, feeling provoked and offended.
Ever since he gradually separated himself from the original owner's crazy and critical personality, that sinister and weird feeling hasn't appeared on Lu Shizhen's face for a long time.
The early morning sunlight shone in through the window, shining on Lu Shizhen's eyes which were slowly bending.
She smiled at Shen Yanxing, her voice even more polite than what he had just said: "Student Shen, what you said is very distant. How can it be considered a trouble if I take Xu Shiyue to the horse farm to play?"
In a trance, Shen Yanxing felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart for no reason.
She clenched her hands lightly, holding on to the calmness needed to look Lu Shizhen in the eye, and nodded: "That's good."
.
After getting Lu Shizhen's affirmative response, Lu Shien was extremely happy and came to Lu Shizhen's house early in the weekend to meet up with them.
But as soon as the little girl opened the door, she was startled by Yuanzi who was about to come out, followed by Xu Shiyue and Lu Shizhen.
At first, Lu Shien didn't like Lu Shizhen bringing Xu Shiyue with her. As long as she was there, her sister would no longer focus on her.
But Lu Shien changed his mind and realized that Xu Shiyue couldn't see anything, and he could only hear her intimate interactions with her sister. He immediately became excited about the weekend's itinerary.
She wanted to let Xu Shiyue see whether Lu Shizhen favored her or herself.
With this in mind, Lu Shien didn't even fight with Xu Shiyue for the seat in the back row where he could sit next to Lu Shizhen. Lu Shizhen sat in the back and watched Yuanzi excitedly wagging her tail at him, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
This morning's start was unexpectedly good.
I really hope that I can get through the next few days peacefully like this.
The car started to move slowly, and the tall buildings in Lu Shizhen's sight gradually became lower until they were replaced by large tracts of green mountains and fields.
She was a little curious about what the horse farm looked like. As soon as the car turned an uphill corner, the sign of the horse farm appeared in her sight as if it was split from the vast green.
The smell of horses inevitably permeated the entire venue, and the loess-covered racecourse was even larger than what you see on TV.
Lu Shizhen looked at the well-trained horses galloping past the window, and even saw some practicing dressage not far away. She felt really enlightened.
Before she could see all of this, Lu Shien impatiently opened the car door and took her to the stable to choose the horse she would ride today.
The girl's long hair was blown by the wind caused by her quick steps, and the outline of black headphones seemed to be revealed.
Lu Shizhen never fights a battle without preparation. She also came prepared. The camera of the mobile phone sticking out of her pocket was the window for Qiuqiu to help her choose a horse, and the earphones were the interface for her to communicate with Qiuqiu.
"Host, rest assured. I will definitely pick the most docile horse for you!" Qiuqiu lay on the camera of her mobile phone, carefully observing the horses here, vowing.
Lu Shizhen tapped the screen to indicate her nod. After all, Qiuqiu was the only one she could rely on now.
She looked at the horses in the room with a serious look, trying to identify them with the horse knowledge Qiuqiu had taught her these days. Then she heard Xu Shiyue's voice: "What kind of horses are these?"
When Lu Shizhen heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, feeling guilty and not knowing how to answer.
However, Xu Shiyue was not asking her, but the staff member who was following them: "The two horses in the front are Russian purebreds, the three horses over there are Akha Tekin, which are also called Ferghana horses, and the two Frisians next to us have just finished maintenance."
"… "
Lu Shizhen's expression was somewhat complicated.
Firstly, she was guilty and almost misunderstood, and secondly, there were only three types of horses in this stable, but she had just judged them to be five. By the way, except for the Arabian horse with obvious characteristics, she had guessed wrong about the remaining two types.
“The Friesian’s personality is a bit like that of a Labrador.”
"Woof!"
Lu Shizhen was still reflecting on herself in frustration when the voices of Xu Shiyue and Yuanzi brought her back.
“… This horse is similar to a Labrador in that it is very intelligent and has a gentle temperament, making it suitable for all types of humans, especially beginners.”
"Woof!"
I don’t know if he was interacting with Yuanzi or confirming the introduction of the horse farm staff just now, but Xu Shiyue actually made an evaluation of the last horse.
Lu Shien had been interacting with the horse she had chosen. When he heard what Xu Shiyue said, he couldn't help but raise his head and said affirmatively: "I didn't expect you couldn't see that your knowledge of horses is quite accurate. Yes, Friesian is indeed the most docile of these horses, but being docile is not challenging at all."
The little girl's voice ended with an upward sound, and there was a hint of flattery in her affirmative words.
Xu Shiyue pursed her lips slightly and did not respond to Lu Shien's comment.
Lu Shizhen was listening on the side, his eyes fixed on the Friesian horse next to him because of Xu Shiyue's introduction.
The black fur was groomed to be shiny and smooth, and the thick and long mane was carefully braided into long pigtails, which was handsome but also beautiful and elegant.
At this time, Qiuqiu's calculations just ended: "Host, it's amazing. The horse that Xu Shiyue mentioned is indeed the most suitable one for you among these horses."
There was some surprise and excitement in the little guy's voice, but the corners of Lu Shizhen's mouth inexplicably rose a little.
She was so happy that she couldn't explain it. She said to the people around her in a serious manner: "These horses are all good."
The staff member agreed: "Yes, Miss Lu, our horses are strictly selected and meet the competition standards."
"I can see that." Lu Shizhen nodded, and then imitated the original owner and slowly placed his hand on the head of the black Friesian next to him, "Then I'll choose this one."
Lu Shien was very surprised. Looking at the sweat-blooded horse in front of him, he said, "Sister, why don't you choose sweat-blooded horse? Don't you like the feeling of conquering this kind of horse the most?"
Lu Shizhen already had a plan. He rubbed his nose and said, "Well, the sequelae of my cold haven't completely disappeared. I haven't had much energy recently. I'll just go for a ride with you."
"oh… "
Lu Shien lowered his head and touched the sweat and blood he had chosen, feeling a moment of loss.
But then she regained her excitement.
Because her sister just said that she forced herself to come out in order to accompany her.
It’s for yourself!
Lu Shien glanced at Xu Shiyue who was standing next to Lu Shizhen, and said in an exaggerated voice, "You are worthy of being my sister. You picked out the most suitable horse for a ride at first sight."
Lu Shizhen smiled, feeling unworthy of the reward.
She thought she should thank Xu Shiyue who had just casually introduced Friesland to her.
At this moment, Lu Shizhen felt someone pulling the corner of her clothes, and Xu Shiyue said to her: "Lu Shizhen, I should go now."
Xu Shiyue's voice was so small that it could even be drowned out by the sound of hay turning in the stable.
But Lu Shizhen's heart suddenly dropped at these words: "They came so soon..."
"Yeah." Xu Shiyue nodded, "Shen Yanxing just sent a message saying that the parking lot is very close to here and she will come to pick me up."
"Oh." Lu Shizhen uttered a syllable in a monotonous voice. This was the first time she handed Xu Shiyue over to another person during the days she was with her. "Then remember to call Li."
"Don't worry." Xu Shiyue promised, and when he withdrew his hand, he seemed to gently hook Lu Shizhen's little finger, which was slightly cold.
"Sister, look..."
After knowing that Lu Shizhen would not ride the Ferghana with him, Lu Shien found another horse according to his own interests.
She was about to show Lu Shizhen her newly chosen horse with great interest, but she noticed that Lu Shizhen was looking outside. Xu Shiyue was outside, and there was a figure she didn't recognize walking side by side with her: "Who is that person? What did Xu Shiyue do with her sister's bodyguard and that person?"
"That's Shen Yanxing, Xu..." Lu Shizhen paused, and suddenly didn't want to put Xu Shiyue's name together with Shen Yanxing.
But in the original text, their two names will sooner or later be listed together, and it is not just their two names that are listed together.
Resistance is a very bad emotion, and Lu Shizhen felt that it was a bit abnormal for him to have this emotion.
She just watched the two people's backs getting farther and farther away from her, and said to Lu Shien in an obscure way: "Xu Shiyue went to play with her."
"Oh~" Lu Shien was not interested in Xu Shiyue's friends, but she was very happy that Lu Shizhen belonged to her alone now. She raised her hand and took Lu Shizhen's arm, "Since Xu Shiyue has gone to find that Shen something, let me accompany my sister!"
In the past two days, Lu Shizhen not only learned a lot of knowledge with Qiuqiu, but also practiced horse riding through virtual VR.
She felt the virtual wind for many days and felt the feeling of freedom that people often talk about, of being able to forget all worries.
The horse was led out of the stable, and Lu Shizhen rode on the black Friesian smoothly.
The bumpy feeling of the horse's walking was much clearer than in VR. She thought that she was riding a real horse now, and this bad emotion would definitely disappear completely.
The cool breeze of early winter was not harsh under the high sun. It blew slowly past Lu Shizhen's ears, floating her long hair.
This real feeling of cleanliness is incomparable to VR, and the crisp sound of horse hooves really helped her crush some unhappy things.
"drive!"
Lu Shizhen was just relaxing like this when he heard a clear and powerful command from a little girl in the distance.
Compared to the slow and leisurely horse riding, Lu Shien's galloping on the horse farm can be considered as real horse riding.
The well-fitting equestrian suit made her look very heroic, and the horse, which was much more difficult to tame than a Friesian, was particularly obedient in her hands.
The high ponytail drew a flamboyant arc in the sunlight, which was really so unrestrained as to be dazzling.
"Sister, why are you riding so slowly?"
Lu Shizhen was admiring Lu Shien's skills when the child quickly rode her horse past Lu Shizhen.
She was very dissatisfied with her sister's snail-like pace, so she raised the whip in her hand and hit Lu Shizhen's horse.
Just for a moment, Lu Shizhen's horse was frightened.
Lu Shizhen was not proficient in horse riding, and the horse's frightened emotions were instantly released without being restrained, and the horse raised its upper body as if in convulsion.
It was just a sudden change, and Lu Shizhen felt like his whole body was shaking.
The earphones were dangling next to her ears. Qiuqiu sensed Lu Shizhen's helplessness and urgently searched on her phone: "Host, stay calm. I'll find a way for you right now."
But Lu Shizhen had no idea how to deal with this emergency. The horse was shaking up and down wildly as if it was going to throw her out.
She needs to keep steady, how should she do it
"Lu Shizhen, hold the reins tight!"
In this unsolvable chaos, Lu Shizhen heard Xu Shiyue's voice.
