Chapter 276: Riding a Horse

Zou Bai took the hay and fed them some food. He realized that the two horses were indeed very obedient. They had been domesticated and did not have much wildness left. It was good for Jiang An to use them to learn. “These two will do. Don’t let anyone in before I leave.”
Manager Ma thought of the commission he had gotten from booking the entire venue this time, and his face almost wrinkled into a smile. “Alright, Mr. Zou, don’t worry. The venue is absolutely quiet today. Take your time browsing. I’ll take my leave first. If you need anything, call the front desk at any time. I’ll wait there.”
Zou Bai raised the whip in his hand, and Manager Ma quickly left.
Zou Bai turned around and opened the bag in his hand. He took out a set of clothes and handed the bag to Jiang An. “There’s a lady’s riding suit inside. 1’11 bring you to the changing room to change into it.”
Jiang An took the bag. “I don’t know how to ride a horse. Are you going to teach me?”
Zou Bai glanced at Jiang An. “Why else would I bring you here?”
Jiang An looked at Zou Bai suspiciously. Thinking of what she had told him a few days ago, she had a flash of inspiration and asked with a smile, “Did you specially bring me here because 1 said that Gan Lan would have a horse riding scene later?!”
Zou Bai raised his eyebrows and smiled. “You’re not too stupid. You said that your riding scene will be completed in the last month. 1 can’t stay here every day, so if you start learning now, it definitely won’t delay your filming progress.”
The production team had hired a coach who specialized in teaching horse riding. She would take a week off before the riding scene and the coach would train all the actors who had this part of the scene. Jiang An felt that Zou Bai had done something unnecessary this time. “Our production team has a training class.”
Zou Bai snorted coldly, “I’m teaching you one-on-one, and you still despise me?”
When Jiang An heard this, she quickly put on a fawning smile. “How is it despise? Don’t slander me. I’m just afraid of exhausting you.”
Whether it was riding a horse, watching a movie, or other activities, Zou Bai’s real goal was to have more private space with Jiang An and cultivate more feelings, especially for activities where there was a certain level of intimacy.
How could Zou Bai not know that Jiang An still had the intention to observe him?
Zou Bai put his arm around Jiang An’s shoulder and walked towards the changing room. “My riding skills are better than your coach’s. Up till now, there’s been no horse that I couldn’t tame.”
Zou Bai had learned how to ride a horse since he was young. Later on, because of his excellent horse-taming skills, he was always teased by people in the circle, saying that he must have grown up on a horse in his previous life.
However, Jiang An still had doubts about the credibility of these words. A good student might not be a good teacher. Learning and teaching were two different things.
Zou Bai seemed to know what Jiang An was thinking. He turned to Jiang An and continued, “It’s the same for teaching.”
Jiang An chuckled. “I realized that not only do you have eyes on your back, but you also know how to read minds.”
“Have you been here before? It feels like you’re quite familiar with this place.”
Zou Bai replied, “This is my friend’s ranch. I used to come here often when I was free in Sea City.”
The two of them went to the changing room. After changing, Zou Bai brought Jiang An back to the stables.
Zou Bai first asked Jiang An to learn how to feed the horse. “This is the basic operation of building a relationship after getting to know the horse.”
Zou Bai had chosen a mare for Jiang An. The brown horse’s fur was shiny. Jiang An looked at it as she fed it. “This horse is so beautiful! There’s white fur on its head and legs. It’s so special. The color of its fur is also good. It looks especially smooth. This horse is very expensive, right?”
Zou Bai fed his horse and glanced at Jiang An. “Good horses aren’t cheap. This horse’s quality should be in the seven digits. The characteristic of Arabian horses is that they have good endurance and are very fast. I’ll bring you for two laps first.”
When Jiang An heard that she could bring the horse for a ride, she was a little excited. “Sure!”
Zou Bai placed his fingers on the saddle and exerted a little force. He turned around and got on the horse. Jiang An’s eyes widened. “You didn’t step on the stirrups when you got on the horse just now? Oh my god, 1 always thought that those were just acting. I thought you would need wires on your body to lift you up to do this.”
Zou Bai sat on the horse and bent down slightly. He extended his arm to Jiang An. “That’s because they’re not skilled enough. Come up.”
Jiang An looked at Zou Bai with admiration. She placed her hand on Zou Bai’s palm and obediently stepped on the stirrup, sitting behind Zou Bai..
