The weather in Mengshi was a bit cloudy over the weekend.
Xiaoqi went to the stables early in the morning to practice horse riding.
There have been a lot of things going on these days, and Xiaoqi's mind was a little confused. After riding the horse for a few laps and sweating, he felt refreshed.
It is still the easiest to get along with animals. When riding a horse, the feeling is so cool, like flying.
Before coming to the racecourse, Xiaoqi also went to practice driving. She drove very well and didn't look like a novice driver at all. She also gave cigarettes to the coach as usual. The coach said that he had already made an appointment for her to take the second subject and she had enough time to clock in, so she could take the test next week.
The coach smoking was particularly warm.
Xiao Qi skillfully blocked his sense of smell.
When they arrived at the horse farm, although the smell of the animals was unpleasant, Xiaoqi still used her sense of smell, because different smells also showed the different physical conditions of the horses. Xiaoqi felt a bit like a mother who had just given birth. She would habitually smell the smell of these horses, including their feces, to judge whether they were healthy or not and what might be wrong.
Coach Steven was even more satisfied. He felt that his student was not only talented and hardworking, but also not afraid of hardship, dirt or fatigue. He originally thought that the girl was just an object of flattery by the rich second generation, but it turned out that she was not at all. She came to the stable just to clean the horses, practice equestrianism and eat.
Mr. Xiao, who had originally approached him, did not often show up at the racecourse.
It puzzled him, because the more he interacted with his student, the more he felt that she was outstanding and had an excellent temperament.
He has been discussing with Mr. Xiao whether he can let Xiaoqi participate in a small competition first to get used to it.
Although domestic horse racing is not on such a large scale, as far as he knows, there is also an autumn horse race in Beijing, sponsored by a luxury brand, and the scale is not small, which is just right for Xiaoqi to practice.
Xiao Shengzhou knew that the little girl was very opinionated, so he didn't make the decision for her and let Steven ask it himself.
Xiao Qi got off the horse and before he could catch his breath, Steven asked excitedly, "Su, I want you to go to the Magic City to participate in an equestrian competition. What do you think?"
"The capital?"
Xiaoqi was stunned. It was so far away. She had never been there.
"Will it affect the class?"
"No, you can only take two days off on the weekend. Xiao said you have good grades, so it will definitely not affect your studies."
"Is there a bonus?" Xiao Qi asked.
Steven laughed when he heard this question. He had seen his students being interviewed on TV and saying frankly that they ran the marathon for the prize money, so he was well prepared.
"Yes, first place gets $100,000, second place gets $30,000, and third place gets $10,000."
Xiao Qi nodded and said, "Okay, teacher, please send me a WeChat message about the specific time and how to arrange it."
Steven promised that he would make arrangements for it. Arranging student competitions was something he used to do often. Finally, it felt like a century had passed before he was returning to the competition field. Although it was just a small competition, Steven was already feeling impatient. He went back and video-called his old friends to announce the good news and invite them to watch it in person if they were free.
His old friends all agreed with a laugh, but after hanging up the video, they sighed again, thinking that Steven had really fallen. He was so excited to participate in such a small competition, and the student he taught was just an ordinary one. It was said that the student had never been in contact with horses before, only with donkeys, and he actually showed it off... His old friends could already foresee his tragic ending.
His ex-wife remarried, and they were said to be living a very happy life. She was very affectionate with her new husband, the supermarket owner, and was even planning to take her to China for a honeymoon...
Steven's ex-wife is also Chinese.
The old friends looked at the game schedule and the time and place for the honeymoon that Oli had arranged, and could hardly bear to watch.
Oli may have done it on purpose, because when she remarried, Steven didn't show anything special, just said congratulations.
Steven didn't know that he had been deeply sympathized by his old friends. He excitedly began to prepare for the competition and at the same time modified Xiaoqi's training. Before, he had been training hard, mainly training Xiaoqi's affinity with horses and speed. Next, he would focus on training the content of fancy horse racing, changing canter, backward walk, change of direction, sidestep, on-the-spot trot, rotation and advanced fancy riding, etc. These must be completed at the specified time and place, and the movements must be standard. Professional judges will then give scores.
Steven never taught these things. He was repeatedly honing Xiaoqi's basics, because his philosophy was that only after the foundation was laid could everything else be achieved. However, his previous student was not impatient with the basics, and instead found a coach to practice privately. He was also dissatisfied with Steven, thinking that Steven was deliberately holding him back and wasting his time and talent.
Xiaoqi doesn't understand these things. Xiaoqi's biggest advantage now is that she studies and executes seriously. She has a very high execution ability and never complains or acts on her own. So even if every time she comes, she is meticulous and exceeds the requirements for training.
For Xiaoqi, exercise is a way to relax from studying and also a way to relax psychologically. She is essentially a person who suppresses herself, but through exercise, she has changed a lot.
Her temperament now is completely different from before. She has a more unrestrained and free-spirited feeling, and her original inferiority complex has become less and less.
After Xiaoqi finished his equestrian training, he drew ink, took a shower and had dinner. It was already dark. Because the coach said he wanted to change the training method, he spent almost the whole day at the stable.
When she was about to go back, she received a call from Mi'er: "Xiao Qi, you are on TV again. Where are you? Turn on the TV quickly. You are on the local news in Meng City."
Xiao Qi looked around and saw that it was past eight o'clock. Hearing that there seemed to be quite a few people around Mi Er, he asked curiously, "I'm at the horse farm. Where are you? It's quite noisy over there."
"A few friends from the student union are meeting at a newly opened coffee shop in the new district. The environment is nice and there's a TV. Do you want to come with us?"
"I have a TV right here. I'll come find you after I finish watching it."
There was a TV in the dining area of the Racecourse Club. Xiao Qi turned on the TV and it happened to be the default local channel of Meng City, Meng City Channel 1.
When Xiaoqi turned on the TV, the host was introducing the English speech finals held by Qingmeng University. Qingmeng University has a very high status in the league city. Almost any small thing in their school is worth reporting. Maybe even a fart is fragrant and worth being on TV.
This time, the location was Qingmeng University. The girl giving the speech in the video was Tang Baolin. Then there was her. Finally, she introduced Su Xiaoqi, a freshman from Enhua University, who won the championship of this speech contest...
The host probably felt it was a bit strange and froze for a moment when he read the news.
Xiaoqi looked at himself on the screen and felt that he was becoming more and more unfamiliar.
At the moment, Mi'er was with Li Ruisheng, Li Ruisheng's roommate, and two other students from the Student Union. There were five of them, three boys and two girls, playing board games together. Mi'er said she wanted to take a video and asked them to wait.
Li Ruisheng was waiting gracefully when he saw the girl giving a speech on TV. She was very pretty, worthy of being from Qingmeng University. She must be the campus belle.
But Chen Mier excitedly shouted: "Look at my deskmate, it's almost her!"
Li Ruisheng saw the girl on the screen with tears hanging on her eyelashes. Her expression was not sad, and she even had a little smile on her face. However, when she spoke, everyone who watched her felt inexplicably sad.
Li Ruisheng's English was pretty good, and he understood most of what was said. He just stood there in a daze.
