Chapter 103 I like you, and it will love you and your dog
The groom, holding the leather reins, led a black horse beside the two men.
"Your horse, sir."
As he said this, he handed over the reins.
Jiang Shibai took the reins and skillfully touched its sleek neck. Its soft coat was extremely smooth and well-groomed.
The dark horse obviously knew him and did not resist his approach. He lowered his head obediently, his gentle eyes full of dependence and trust.
Xu Xian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a tall, pure black horse. Its fur was jet black and shiny without a trace of other colors. It reflected the luster in the bright sunlight. Its eyes were sharp and its black pupils were unusually bright.
Pure black horses are very rare, and even she, an outsider, can tell that this horse is worth a lot of money.
"Is this your horse? What's its name?" Xu Xian didn't approach rashly, with a hint of interest in his eyes.
"Well, its name is Shadow, and it's been with me for four years." Jiang Shibai patted Shadow's head, his voice melancholy, as if he was missing an old friend. "It's five years old now, in its prime. It was a birthday gift from my grandfather four years ago."
Mr. Jiang died of a sudden heart attack three years ago and breathed his last on the way to the hospital. The accident came too suddenly, and a huge shadow shrouded the entire Jiang family.
This was the last gift he left for Jiang Shibai, and it was extremely precious.
The topic of death of relatives is very sensitive to Xu Xian's heart, just like she still dare not easily mention her father's accidental death.
Perhaps I can say frankly that he has passed away, but I dare not talk about the details at all.
Hearing this, she subconsciously spoke to comfort him, "Grandpa would definitely be pleased if he knew you took such good care of Shadow. You have lived up to his expectations of you. Jiang's has reached a new level in your hands, and he would definitely be proud of you."
She didn't know what Mr. Jiang's expectations were for Jiang Shibai, but seeing how much he missed his grandfather, the relationship between the two should be pretty good.
The air was silent for a moment. Jiang Shibai seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. The smile on his lips became more genuine, covering up the slight sadness. "I also think that Grandpa would be proud of me."
He lived in the old house most of the time before junior high school. At that time, the group was taken over by his father, and his retired grandfather was idle at home, teaching him how to behave in society and the ways of business.
His grandfather was present throughout his growth trajectory, shaping his values and world view.
His feelings towards his grandfather were different from those towards his grandmother. In addition to the respect and dependence of a grandson, he also had a bit of admiration from a young man.
Xu Xian has been observing Jiang Shibai's expression. A golden halo falls on his handsome profile. The golden light weaves through his thick eyelashes. His thin eyelids press down, and countless emotions are buried in his heart.
As he spoke, his expressionless face was filled with pride and an air of nobility.
Suddenly, Jiang Shibai turned his head and looked into her slightly worried eyes. Her dark pupils were shining with light, which was reflected by the sunlight.
Before he could speak, Xu Xian raised her lipstick-coated lips slightly, and said in a light tone, "You are braver than me, Jiang Shibai."
Accept the death of loved ones calmly and be brave enough to mention their past.
Unlike her, she has never been able to get out of the shadow of the past.
They don't even dare to touch the predetermined outcome of the future.
There was a hint of heartache in Jiang Shibai's eyes. He took off his white gloves and gently pinched her pale cheeks. His voice was steady, as if he was giving her a shot of prevention.
"My dear, look forward and don't look back."
He clenched his hands, which were as soft as boneless, as if giving her endless strength.
Unable to dwell on sadness, Jiang Shibai smiled and said, "Want to ride Shadow?"
Xu Xian was eager to make a move after hearing this, but he did not dare to act rashly.
Horses can judge people. The shadow in front of him is majestic, cold and noble, with sharp eyes. It is obviously a horse with a temper.
"Does it have a good personality? I'm afraid it doesn't want me to touch it." There was some hesitation in her eyes.
Jiang Shibai pondered for a moment, a smile at the corner of his eyes. He didn't lie to her and told her the truth, "Well, he has a bad temper. Besides me, only Xue'er can sit."
In the past, Du Yuanzhou and his friends had been coveting Shadow. They would try to cultivate a relationship with it from time to time, wanting to ride on it. However, they had tried for several years but were unable to win its heart.
I don’t know if it’s because Xu Yixiu is a child, but it seems to be more doting on her and is willing to sit with her for a while.
"Let's forget it, I'm afraid of the pain." Xu Xian didn't dare to take the risk, she cherished her life very much.
If you fall off a horse, the worst you could get is a scratch, and the worst you could get is unpredictable.
Seeing this, Jiang Shibai squeezed her palm and said with certainty, "It will like you."
"How can you be sure? Can it tell you?" Xu Xian's tone was a little narrow.
How could she not know that Jiang Shibai could understand Ma’s mind?
"Because it's my horse." Jiang Shibai glanced at the shadow. In the face of Xu Xian's puzzled gaze, his eyes were tinged with a hint of teasing, and he said slowly: "I like you, and it will love the whole house as well as the whole family."
Guaibao's whole body was filled with his scent, which permeated into his bones.
Shadow has a high IQ and can sense it.
Xu Xian looked at Jiang Shibai's frivolous look, resisted the urge to retort, raised his chin coquettishly and said, "Okay, I'll believe you this time."
As she spoke, she tentatively extended her hand and cautiously approached the shadow.
Perhaps sensing her approach, Shadow lowered his noble head slightly to accept her advances.
A hint of joy flashed across Xu Xian's eyes. He touched it gently and then took the fresh grass from the groom to feed it.
The man and the horse get along harmoniously. After developing a good relationship, Xu Xian follows her childhood memories, stands on the left side of the shadow, and refuses Jiang Shibai's suggestion to help her get on the horse.
Then he stepped on the stirrups with his pure black boots, mounted the horse neatly, and sat steadily on the saddle without any hesitation.
The shadow beneath him moved slightly. Xu Xian sat on a high place, tightly gripping the reins in his hands. His thin back was slightly stiff. He relaxed a little after adapting to the vibration of the horse.
She looked down at Jiang Shibai with a look of joy on her face, "My skills are pretty good, right?"
In fact, she was not very confident, after all, it had been a long time and she was very unfamiliar with the matter.
"Your movements are very smooth, have you learned it?" Jiang Shibai could tell at a glance that she had a basic foundation, otherwise she wouldn't be so bold, and her movements would be clean and beautiful.
He raised his head slightly, his angular face showing a hint of surprise.
"Well, I learned a little bit when I was a kid, but I've almost forgotten it." Xu Xian wanted to squeeze the horse's belly excitedly and let the horse gallop out.
Jiang Shibai saw her dangerous intention and immediately said, "Give me the reins. I'll lead you for a few laps so we can get used to it first."
Xu Xian knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't argue and handed the reins to Jiang Shibai.
Under the green grass and blue sky, the man with outstanding temperament is dignified and elegant, restraining the arrogance and nobility of a superior, and willingly working as a horseman. Holding the reins in his hands, he slowly walks in circles with the bright and charming woman on the back of the horse.
The dark horse hooves rose slightly, then fell back, leaving a shallow mark on the tender green grass.
Zhai Jin, who followed Jiang Shixin to the racecourse, saw this beautiful scene from the sightseeing bus. It seemed as if this was the only perfect couple left in the world and no one else could interfere.
