There are no clouds in the sky, just a pure blue.
The autumn weather is clear and the ginkgo leaves on the roadside are golden yellow.
Passing by this ginkgo forest, you will arrive at the venue of the competition.
Xiaoqi and his friends arrived early in the morning. There were a lot of crows in the sky of the capital, which would occasionally fly across the sky and make loud calls.
In other places, the cawing of crows always makes people nervous and uneasy, and feels it is unlucky, but in the capital, it has become commonplace.
The racecourse is very lively, and the huge brand advertisements at the entrance make it look very expensive.
The gold and brand buttons, the dark red leather background, and the bronze carriage shape, pulling a whole cart of luxury goods, are all real things from this brand. Exhibiting them here has a very historical feel, and there is also a large screen next to it telling the history of this brand.
Then there are videos of horse racing interspersed in between. Every time a horse passes by the camera, it is almost a glimpse, which is very beautiful.
Xiaoqi is a contestant. He went in early with his coach and was waiting for the drumming.
I had digested the indigestion yesterday, and I was in great shape for drumming today. When Xiao Qi came over, he was drumming and tapping his feet excitedly. When he saw Xiao Qi, he even neighed, as if to say hello or interact with him.
At this time, other contestants also arrived. Most of them had foreign faces. There were a few yellow-skinned ones. Judging from their voices, they were from South Korea. There were also contestants from Japan. In the competition in Beijing, there were only three equestrians representing the country.
One is Xiaoqi, another is a local contestant from Beijing, and the other is Chinese. Although he speaks Chinese, he was born and raised abroad.
Except for Xiaoqi, the other two contestants are men.
There are not many female equestrians, only four on the scene, one from Sweden, one from Cyprus, one from Australia, and Xiaoqi.
The other three female equestrians all seemed very strong and not very tall. This is because horse racing is not friendly to tall people. If you are too tall, it will be difficult to control the horse, so the male contestants are generally not very tall.
Among such a group of people, Xiaoqi's oriental face looks small to begin with, and she is only 17 years old, so she is really small. She looks like a junior high school student among a group of middle-aged people, and she stands out particularly.
Before the game started, someone was teasing Xiaoqi.
He was a Korean player with the same yellow skin as Xiaoqi, and spoke Korean. Xiaoqi had no problem with basic communication in Korean, except for the professional terminology. However, she understood everything the other party said to mock her, but she didn't say anything. The competition hadn't started yet, so there was no need to argue.
Although we arrived early, we still had to draw a number and wait in line, which actually took quite a long time. Xiaoqi didn't wander around, but just joined in the drumming and took out the Spanish book from his bag and started reading.
Jigu was obviously used to Xiaoqi's behavior, and he often stayed with Xiaoqi at the stable. Xiaoqi was either drawing or studying. At this time, not only Jigu, but also Taylor, the most active one in the stable, would quiet down, wag his tail and hold his head proudly, like a guarding soldier.
While others were busy checking their racehorses, Xiao Qi had already read a page of content and carefully noted it down. She found that using fragmented time to study is very efficient. Don't underestimate five minutes, ten minutes, or half an hour. At such times, just scrolling through your phone will pass in the blink of an eye, but using it for studying will achieve twice the result with half the effort. You will have a deep memory and can consolidate it repeatedly. Moreover, you inexplicably have much more time to study than others every day.
She looks very busy and has a lot of things to do every day, but she never falls behind in her studies. She has also learned many languages, calligraphy and painting by making use of her spare time.
Of course, Xiao Qi did check the drumming. As soon as she came over, she sniffed the scene and found the smell was normal. Xiao Qi's sense of smell is very sensitive and she can tell the health of the horse from the smell. If there is any discomfort, the smell will also have subtle changes. It is probably the same as a new mother who looks at the changes in her poop every day to judge the health of her puppies.
After feeling the emotions of the drumming and finding everything normal and having a very good rest, she settled down to read with peace of mind.
It was also because I was a little nervous. It was too noisy around me. English, Korean, Japanese, and other unknown languages were mixed together. I was confused if I couldn't understand anything. Xiaoqi felt that he had not learned enough languages. Seeing the expressions of some people were excited and some were nervous, Xiaoqi also felt inexplicably nervous.
Also, the coach Steven was walking back and forth just like the horse next to him, making Xiaoqi dizzy.
Xiaoqi was wearing the black equestrian suit.
It is a little loose, and the satin feel of the top is very soft, but the production is like a military uniform, with a feeling of both hardness and softness. She sits on a small stool reading a book, and the drummer next to her stays quietly. The game has not started yet, but the picture of their combination is very pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Qi was not proud, but according to that saying, she should despise it strategically and take it seriously tactically. The competition was about to begin, all the necessary details were prepared, and she herself was also ready. There was no need to rush at this time. Moreover, when she really arrived at the competition site, she found that all the contestants were very professional. Listening to their conversations, they had participated in several competitions, and some of them were quite famous, and some of the contestants were quite familiar with each other.
Xiaoqi was a complete newbie when she arrived, a complete novice who knew nothing. This made Xiaoqi somewhat understand why the coach was so strict with her and rarely praised her. She thought she had some golden fingers and was already very powerful. Now it seems that she has too little experience and is a frog in a well #fog#. However, she has already arrived at the competition venue, and it is too late to be afraid now. It is better to relax, adjust her mood, and show her best condition.
So Xiaoqi took out her books to study. When she was studying, she was in the best condition and could adjust her mood the fastest, because studying made her feel that she had made a little progress, and she felt fulfilled and confident.
In fact, the other contestants really didn't like Xiaoqi. This little Chinese girl, whom they had never heard of, seemed like a child sent by a rich father to experience life. Her equestrian clothes were really beautiful, and her face was a rare good-looking oriental face.
But they were quite surprised to see Steven. Some people recognized Steven and naturally knew about Steven. He used to be a very good equestrian. After an accident, he became a coach. Steven is quite famous in the equestrian circle, especially some early equestrians who know him very well. I didn’t expect that it was really as rumored that he had fallen to the point of playing games with children and becoming a little girl’s private coach?
Just as the contestants were preparing in their own minds, the audience seats opened and audience members came in one after another.
There are huge electronic screens on all four sides of the racecourse, allowing spectators from every angle to see every scene without blind spots.
At this moment, the big screen is repeatedly playing the brand history and brand culture of this horse racing sponsorship event.
Liu Shaowei walked into the audience seats with his girlfriend Li Maomao, holding the tickets. He was a little excited. This was his first time watching horse racing and he felt very proud. Such an elegant event did not exist in Lushan City and was rarely heard of.
He was even more excited to see that everyone around him who came to watch the game was dressed very well.
Especially when he came in and saw the exhibition of luxury goods, he already had a rough idea of the prices of these things after knowing Maomao. Even if his parents were small leaders, he could not afford those things.
Their seats were very far back. It was said that the prices of tickets for this game were different for different seats, and the price of the first few rows could be more than ten times that of the ones at the back.
Of course, Liu Shaowei was not dissatisfied. He was very excited to be able to come in. He tried his best to hide his excitement so as not to appear to be a bumpkin.
Li Maomao was also very excited. Although she was a native of Beijing, she got the two tickets through connections, which made her feel very proud. The two of them found a seat and sat down, and people sat down next to them one after another.
Liu Shaowei considerately took out some water from his bag and gave it to his girlfriend. He didn't know if he could buy water here, or if it was very expensive like in the cinema. He was afraid of making a mistake, so he carefully brought a bottle of water.
Although they were sitting far away and it was a bit difficult to see the game, they could use a telescope, but there was a large screen directly opposite them so they could also see the details of the game.
Liu Shaowei also thinks this position is very good.
At this moment, the brand introduction on the big screen suddenly ended, and the scenes of the contestants preparing in the backfield began to be played, as well as the background introduction of the contestants.
Liu Shaowei unscrewed the bottle cap and handed over the water attentively. In order to save his girlfriend's face, the mineral water he prepared were all imported mineral waters that cost more than ten yuan each. In fact, he felt a little distressed.
Looking up at this moment, he suddenly saw a very tall and strong brown horse on the big screen. In front of the horse sat a girl with short hair. Although her hair was short, it was not messy, but tied up with a rubber band in a small bun, revealing a smooth forehead. She was actually reading a book at the moment, sitting in front of a horse. The screen was very large, and he could see the details of the book. Liu Shaowei didn't recognize the words in the book. It was not English, Japanese or Korean. He didn't know what language it was...
Li Maomao was drinking water elegantly when he looked up and saw this scene. Poof...
