lark

A week ago, Lin Nan passed the audition and successfully won the role of the male second in the new drama. The director made him a hard requirement when he was happy-to learn how to ride a horse within this month.

At least you have to be able to pretend to be in front of the camera, and you can't rely on fake riding to take pictures of your upper body.

Wei Jing naturally agreed for him, and quickly helped him arrange dozens of introductory courses for saddle hours.

Before today, Lin Nan had attended two classes, both of which were basic learning content. First, he got acquainted with the horses, led them, and fed them.It's time for the real guy today, class right now.But today he wasn't the only one who came, Qi Yubai also came.

According to Lin Nan's temperament, he naturally told Qi Yubai what he saw and heard with excitement after the first class.He had thought that Qi Yubai should be able to ride a horse, but what he didn't expect was that the man had his own horse.Under his hint and invitation, Qi Yubai agreed to ride with him this time.

The winter sun is rarely as warm as it is today. It leaks from the gaps in the leaves of the birch trees, and it can even make people feel a little warmth. The gray soil of the outdoor racecourse weakens the sense of loneliness and adds a bit of spaciousness.In the club, which covers an area of ​​more than 100 mu, there are a total of [-] horses, big and small, in several large stables with white walls and wooden doors, and there are some energetic neighing sounds from time to time.

Knowing that Qi Yubai was coming, Wei Jing and He Shan felt relieved to be lazy. Anyway, they all knew that there would be nothing wrong with Mr. Qi in Lin Nan.At ten o'clock in the morning, Zhang Hong drove Qi Yubai and Lin Nan to the suburban racecourse, parked the car with ease, and took out two high-end harness bags from the trunk.

"The weather is really nice today." Lin Nan stood by the car and looked at the open scenery ahead, and said to Qi Yubai with a smile.

Qi Yubai also got out of the car, looked around, and said, "I haven't been here for a long time, I don't know how my horse is doing."

Lin Nan smiled and said, "I'm so used to hearing you say 'horse'."

"I'm not used to it."

"It seems... there is a feeling of cherishing." It seems that horses are regarded as carts, and people who love carts also love their horses.

Qi Yubai said with a normal expression, "It's just a title."

Lin Nan knew that he had always been hard-spoken and soft-hearted, so he just looked at him with a smile and didn't expose it.

Zhang Hong closed the trunk with his elbows while holding the good things in both hands, and walked around to lead them the way.When they arrived at the racecourse, the staff greeted Qi Yubai when they saw him. "Mr. Qi, are you going to ride by yourself today or call the coach over?"

Qi Yubai has his own French coach, and if he wants to learn some skills, he will call him over for guidance.

Lin Nan has only been here twice, and he is an ordinary student. Besides, there is no need to make an appointment to come with Qi Yubai. No one in the racecourse knows him, and they only think that he is another secretary of Qi Yubai.He didn't take it seriously either, standing behind Qi Yubai and listening to them quietly.

"Please invite a Chinese coach with better skills." Qi Yubai said, "I'm not going to learn today."

"Oh?" The other party was taken aback, "Who is that..."

"He." Qi Yubai turned his head and didn't see Lin Nan, so he stretched out his hand to hold back, grabbed Lin Nan's slender wrist and pulled it to his side lightly.

"What are you doing hiding behind me?"

"I didn't hide..." Lin Nan defended softly, "I've been right behind you."

Qi Yubai only glanced at Lin Nan, and Lin Nan immediately became honest, his eyes were as warm as warm water, making him look beautiful and smart.

The people in the racecourse looked at the expressions between the two of them, and dared not treat Lin Nan as a secretary anymore.He turned to Lin Nan and asked respectfully, "Are you beginner or advanced?"

"Beginner, I have taken two classes with you." Lin Nan said.

The other party was stunned for a moment and then continued, "I said, why do you look familiar? If you have only had two classes, let me recommend the coach to you. You and Mr. Qi go outside and wait for a few minutes. Bring the horse here." Then he said to Qi Yubai, "Lambeth is still in the No. 2 stable, and has been carefully raised by you, will you still ride it today?"

Qi Yubai nodded, and the man left to lead the horse.

Lin Nan asked: "Is Lambeth your horse? It's so nice to read the name."

Qi Yubai hummed and didn't answer.Zhang Hong carried the two bags to the locker room, and the two went in to change their clothes.Within a few minutes, Qi Yubai got dressed and went out, but Lin Nan kept the door tightly closed.

After waiting for a while, Lin Nan asked from inside the door: "Mr. Qi, are you outside?"

After Qi Yubai changed into breeches and riding boots, he became more upright, handsome and handsome.When Lin Nan called him, he was adjusting his gloves outside, and he hummed when he heard the voice.

"Can you come in?" Lin Nan said anxiously.

Hearing the words, Qi Yubai pushed the door open and entered, and saw Lin Nan standing on the innermost side with his back to him, with a pair of long legs wrapped tightly by pure white breeches, extraordinarily delicate and slender.

"what happened?"

Lin Nan held a piece of armor in his hand, turned around and said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not very good at wearing this." The protective vest he wore in the first two classes was given by the coach, which is the same as what Zhang Hong gave him today. Prepared differently.

Qi Yubai took off the gloves on his hands, and said to Lin Nan, "Hold it for me." Then he turned around again.

A pair of powerful arms took over the armor and unbuttoned it, encircling his waist from behind.Lin Nan was surrounded by a little familiar smell of leather. The somewhat hard vest was pressed against his back, and the front of the riding boots pressed against his heel, making people feel a little oppressive.Lin Nan's body tensed all of a sudden, and his two hands subconsciously grasped the hands around his waist.

"It's adjustable here." Qi Yubai said flatly, "Just put it in." He paused, "What are you doing with me?"

"I..." Lin Nan let go of his hand quickly, "I'm used to it."

"When did I hug you from behind?" Qi Yubai asked.

Lin Nan simply stopped talking.He didn't know what kind of hug he was referring to. In short, he obviously couldn't bear such physical contact, no matter how many times he went through it, he still couldn't bear it. Qi Yubai couldn't remember, so let it go.

The two of them got dressed and came out. Zhang Hong didn't know when he stood silently one meter away from the door, with an expression that didn't matter what you were doing, holding two black frosted helmets in his hand. .He was still dressed in casual clothes, and the glasses on the bridge of his nose were wiped without any finger marks. It seemed that he didn't plan to ride a horse today, but came to perform the basic duties of a secretary.

Qi Yubai walked in front of Lin Nan, and calmly took one of the helmets and handed it to the person behind him, "I will always wear this."

With a suspicious red on his face, Lin Nan took the helmet and nodded.

"Fortunately, there is one thing, not too stupid." Qi Yubai said in a low voice while putting on his helmet, sounding a little disgusted.

Lin Nan paused with his helmet-wearing hand, begging for mercy, and said to Qi Yubai, "Don't..." Then he took a quick look at Zhang Hong.

The two helmets were taken off, and Zhang Hong was empty-handed, so he straightened his glasses.

"Zhang Hong is not an outsider, so why not be embarrassed." Qi Yubai said.What he meant was to tease Lin Nan in front of Zhang Hong. Lin Nan didn't need to take it to heart, but the words sounded somewhat wrong.After speaking, he also looked at Zhang Hong, "Why do you always wear a pair of glasses recently?"

"A little nearsighted." Zhang Hong made a pun, "Excessive use of eyes."

The two were fully dressed from head to toe, walked to the edge of the outdoor field together, and each took their own horses.Qi Yubai's Lambeth is a racehorse-sized thoroughbred horse with a large body, chestnut-colored coat, tight muscles and slender bones. In comparison, Lin Nan's horse is a bit like a bigpony ridden by an older child...

Seeing that Lin Nan liked it, he couldn't help reaching out and stroking Lambeth's mane, just like touching the steering wheel of a Rolls-Royce.

Ma'er felt the human touch, raised his head and moved, and snorted in protest, and there was something suspected of snot and saliva in the nasal cavity.

"Don't stand behind it when touching it, that's its blind spot." Qi Yubai said, "It will think you are a dangerous animal."

The coach smiled and complimented, "Mr. Qi is worthy of being a professional. You corrected me before I opened my mouth. I don't think there is anything wrong with me."

Hearing this, Lin Nan withdrew his hand obediently, and pulled his own rein obediently.He looked at the other horses in the field, and they were almost the same as his own. He was about to ask the coach where to get on the horse, when Qi Yubai said to the coach indifferently: "Teach him, I will go to the big field over there first. Take a few laps."

"Aren't you with me?" Lin Nan asked.

He thought he could see Qi Yubai riding a horse up close today, and that scene must have looked like a movie.

Unexpectedly, Qi Yubai stepped on the horse without the slightest hesitation, sat on the horse and looked down at him, "Let's talk about it when you can ride it."

Lambeth is already nine years old this year, and it was Qi Yubai's birthday present seven years ago. The name was also taken by Bai Shaoyin back then, and it originated from a place name in London.Qi Yubai has been learning horses for many years. When he first started, he basically had coaching classes twice a week, and even four times a week when he was interested. He was also the backbone of the equestrian team in foreign universities.In recent years, although I have neglected to practice due to company affairs, sometimes I only come to the racecourse once a month, but I still remember the basic equestrian skills, and it is difficult to come here today.

The coach would be wrong, and while leading the horse to the center of the field to avoid the other horses, he comforted Lin Nan with a smile: "You don't have to envy Mr. Qi, if you practice hard, you will run away after a few saddles. But it is more difficult to practice like Mr. Qi."

Lin Nan looked at Qi Yubai who had already ridden a hundred meters away. The man had already tightened his reins and started trotting and stepping over the low pole. His movements were skillful and stable, as if he was glued to the horse's back.

He followed the coach to the arena, recalled what he had learned in the last class, and got on the horse tremblingly.

"Yes, keep your head, shoulders, and heels in a straight line, and give the horse some instructions to let him walk." The coach was very patient. Lin Nan kept guarding beside him when he first rode, and then separated a little distance later.

At first the horse refused to listen to Lin Nan's words. He patted it sideways and refused to move, and he refused to turn when pulled.Lin Nan said with a mournful face, "Coach...why is the horse so stubborn." The coach joked, "It's not stubborn, it's bullying and fearing hard. If you are too gentle with it, it won't be afraid of you. Try to stimulate it with sound , say 'walk' to it, maybe it will walk slowly."

Lin Nan nodded, and really said softly to Ma'er: "Ma'er, walk, walk..."

As soon as the words fell, the horse really started to walk slowly. Lin Nan couldn't help but put his foot in the stirrup a little more, and said with excitement on his face: "It's willing to go."

The coach also gave him a thumbs up and watched him advance along the fence in small steps one by one.The people on the surrounding horses were more experienced than him. Whenever Lin Nan thought he was about to hit him, the opponent would pull the rein and dodge lightly. Lin Nan just sat on the horse and looked at each other gratefully, and nodded nervously and joyfully at them. Nodding, he felt that he and others were like-minded horse friends, and Qi Yubai was naturally a high-level player who ruthlessly abandoned junior players, and he wanted to join forces with other junior players to attack.

After a lap, the coach taught him to lean back slightly and tighten the reins to stop the horse.

"Look, even if you can go, it's very simple."

Lin Nan's eyes were shining brightly, and he didn't dare to let go of his hands. Sitting on the horse's back, he pursed his lips and hummed to the coach.

He checked before he came to class, and the information said that horses have a lot of personality, not everyone can make them walk willingly, even a professional player who has been with him for several years can’t say that he and his racehorse are completely connected. , have to beware of the racehorse losing his temper during the race.

Just thinking about it, the coach smiled and pointed to the distance, "Mr. Qi has been looking at you for half a circle."

Lin Nan looked in the direction he pointed, and he saw Qi Yubai riding Lambeth standing on the edge of the fence. His eyes were originally looking in his direction, but when they met Lin Nan's eyes from a distance, he immediately avoided them, and his calf moved the rein slightly. , Lambeth turned around and ran away.
