Chapter Twenty-Eight: Galloping the Racecourse
Shang Xiaoyu took a nap on the road, and when he woke up, his eyes were full of emerald green. Meng Xuan patted her out of the car, and Shang Xiaoyu came down to find that it was a horse riding arena.
"What are you doing here?" How could this not be the same as the date she imagined, she was really a little crying and laughing now.
Meng Xuan was very satisfied with Shang Xiaoyu's reaction, he could already imagine that Shang Xiaoyu couldn't even get on his horse and hide behind him and retreated, and at this time it was time for him to show his majesty.
Thinking of what was about to happen next, he comforted and said, "Don't worry, I'll teach you later." ”
Shang Xiaoyu pursed her lips, she asked him to choose, so she could only bear the consequences with tears.
This should be a place where Meng Xuan often visits, as soon as he came, an old man with a sixtieth birthday came to greet him, and he also enthusiastically found someone to take Meng Xuan and Shang Xiaoyu to the dressing room to change into equestrian clothes, and then went to the stable to pick horses.
Because he was a frequent visitor, Meng Xuan had a horse called the Earl. Then the task now is to choose a suitable horse for Shang Xiaoyu.
The building outside the stables was made of mirror materials, and Shang Xiaoyu and Meng Xuan walked over from a distance and saw themselves reflected inside.
Shang Xiaoyu looked at his handsome equipment, stared at the mirror in front of him, straightened his helmet, and said, "It's rare to see you so handsome." ”
When Meng Xuan heard this, he immediately straightened his waist and posed like a foreign gentleman, and said elegantly, "Thank you." ”
Shang Xiaoyu turned to look at him in disgust and said, "Thinking too much, I'm talking about me." ”
Knowing that Shang Xiaoyu would not praise him so easily, Meng Xuan silently licked his wounds, and then healed and caught up with Shang Xiaoyu's footsteps and entered the stable.
There were a lot of horses inside, and the strange smell was also very strong, so Shang Xiaoyu hurriedly turned around and chose a horse that looked good.
It is a brown horse with a strand of yellowish hair on the front, which looks more special.
"This horse is called Lemon." The old man said.
Shang Xiaoyu nodded, as if he had guessed the origin of its name.
The two led their horses to the equestrian arena, where there was no one yet.
Meng Xuan kicked his feet and turned over his horse, and he said to Shang Xiaoyu: "You see me give you a demonstration first, and I will teach you later." ”
After speaking, Meng Xuan clamped his legs hard, grabbed the reins with one hand, and raised the horsewhip with the other.
On a large grassland, Meng Xuan rode a horse and galloped in the wind in the sunshine. He ran round and round around the racecourse, and every time he ran to Shang Xiaoyu, his ostentatious expression couldn't be more obvious.
On the last lap, Meng Xuan returned to the starting point again, and after holding the reins steadily, he dismounted.
He took hold of the reins and said, "Don't be afraid, step on the pedals with one foot and pull the reins up." ”
Although Shang Xiaoyu was impatient, he had to listen to his nagging, and then got on the horse smoothly under the guidance of Meng Xuan.
Although it was not the same as he imagined, Meng Xuan was still quite relieved to see Shang Xiaoyu sitting on the horse safely and calmly.
Meng Xuan said: "You clamp the horse's belly with both feet, and then raise the horse's whip to tell it to set off, but you have to hold on to the reins and don't let it throw you off." You keep your body down, your weight downward, and try to follow the horse's frequency. Be sure to stay safe! Call me anytime, I'm right behind you. ”
Shang Xiaoyu nodded patiently and urged: "Okay, don't nag, go to the side." ”
In front of him was a smooth road, Shang Xiaoyu sighed, and did what Meng Xuan said, Meng Xuan was not at ease and hurriedly got on the horse and prepared to follow behind to protect Shang Xiaoyu, but he was stunned as soon as he got on the horse and looked up.
In the distance, on the green horizon, a horse was galloping on its own, and its owner was heroic. Meng Xuan seemed to be able to see the wind giving way on both sides, and her back was draped in a layer of golden sunlight, which looked dazzling.
Only now realizing how stupid he was, Meng Xuan smiled self-deprecatingly and raised his whip to catch up.
"Why didn't you tell me you could ride a horse?" Meng Xuan and Shang Xiaoyu kept the same speed and asked her.
Shang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "As soon as you came over, you were so verbose and eager to show yourself, of course I can't hit you." Now I'm an equestrian champion. ”
Meng Xuan smacked his tongue and said: "Just tell me, what else do you have besides being a sprint champion, a swimming champion and an equestrian champion who can draw, and say it all at once." ”
"I can't tell you everything, I have to keep it for you to find out for yourself." Shang Xiaoyu sells lawsuits.
Meng Xuan nodded, pondering and said, "Well, then I must find out 'slowly'." ”
Meng Xuan emphasized the word "slowly". Although the two of them were galloping on the racecourse at the speed of the wind, they both hoped that time could be slowed down, and slower.
Green carpet, golden sunshine, two young people riding the wind are galloping into the distance.
*
It was another rainy day.
Meng Xuan made breakfast and wrote a message to Shang Xiaoyu and drove home, he hadn't been home since this mission, and it just so happened that there was an opportunity now.
This time, he didn't ring the doorbell but entered the code directly into the house, and Meng Xuan was relieved to see the blazer still hanging at the door. After changing into slippers and walking inside, I saw Su Yize eating in the restaurant.
Su Yize would come home every weekend, and his work time was half past eight, and it was now 7:41 Beijing time on Sunday, and he was supposed to be here.
Mother Wang handed the freshly ground coffee to Su Yize, and when she looked up, she saw Meng Xuan standing at the door, and she was pleasantly surprised: "The little master is back, have you had breakfast?" ”
"It's okay, Mom Wang, I'll just eat something with my brother, you can go and rest." Meng Xuan walked across from Su Yize, pulled out a chair and sat down, and brought the coffee in front of him and put it under his nose.
Wang Ma didn't shirk it, knowing that the brothers must have something to say, so she left the restaurant and went down to do something else.
Meng Xuan blew on the coffee, took a sip, smacked his tongue and said, "Don't you drink tea, why did you change to coffee." ”
Su Yize was looking at the laptop in front of him from beginning to end, which was the stock market this morning, and he said: "There is no tea at home, so Wang Ma helped me make a cup of coffee." ”
"Then do you want me to bring some for you next time, that tea house is quite close to ours." Meng Xuan said.
"No need, I'll just let Xue Fang go." Su Yize said lightly.
Meng Xuan was surprised: "Xue Fang is back?" When was this? ”
Xue Fang is Su Yize's old assistant, unlike Liu Fang and An Mi who were just colleagues at work, he is more like Su Yize's housekeeper, basically managing from work to life. However, a while ago, Xue Fang said that he had asked for leave because of something at home, but he didn't expect that this trip would be a few months.
"It's been a while." Su Yize said.
At present, Liu Fang and An Mi have had accidents one after another, and the assistants around Su Yize have been vacant, but it doesn't seem like he has the intention of recruiting another assistant, and it is estimated that Xue Fang will be busy in the future.
Meng Xuan chatted a few words but did not forget the main purpose of his visit, so he picked up another slice of toast and said casually: "I want to change cars." ”
"You can just drive away, and I'll solve it afterwards." Su Yize's slender fingers tapped on the computer.
Su Yize's crisp tapping on the keyboard was mixed with the sound of Meng Xuan's knife colliding with the jam bottle.
"I fell in love with an SLK, but it was discontinued, didn't you have one before, lend me to drive it for two days." Meng Xuan looked at Su Yize with a hippie smile, and Su Yize looked up at him when he heard this.
The knocking stopped, and the only sound left in the air was the sound of striking glass.
Su Yize closed the computer, frowned and asked, "Do I have that car?" ”
The room was quiet.
Meng Xuan stepped forward and said: "Six years ago, a black sports car, the model is a Mercedes-Benz SLK, I can't be mistaken, because you took me to pick it out, saying that Tian Yi took a fancy to it, and you want to buy it as a birthday gift for her." ”
After Meng Xuan's reminder, Su Yize seemed to remember something, his expression finally changed slightly, and he said with a look of sudden realization: "That car, you said that it was bought for Tian Yi, so I naturally gave it to her a long time ago." But after so long, she should have changed it a long time ago. ”
Meng Xuan picked up the coffee and leaned on the back of the chair, and sighed: "I don't think so, what you gave it may have been a treasure a long time ago." Forget it, I'll go back and ask her. ”
Su Yize nodded and didn't say much, he put the computer in his briefcase, and then walked to the entrance, put on a suit jacket and changed into leather shoes, and prepared to go to work with a neat and decent appearance.
Before leaving, he suddenly looked at Meng Xuan, who was lazily lying on the sofa, and asked curiously, "Why do you suddenly want that car?" ”
Meng Xuan climbed on the back of the sofa, tilted his face and said, "On a whim, old things...... It's always interesting. ”
Su Yize listened, chattered playfully, and finally hooked his lips and raised a smile. That smile is like a corner in the rain, giving people just the right amount of comfort.
The door of the villa slowly closed, and the two of them had their own thoughts, inside and outside the house.
Meng Xuan's smile froze at the moment when the door closed, whether he was asked to judge Su Yize's performance just now as a policeman or as a brother, he could see the obvious change in his mood. Su Yize, who has always been calm and light-hearted, obviously mixed too much surprise in his emotions just now, so that it was difficult not to let Meng Xuan think of the reason behind this.
And Su Yize, who was outside the door, had a stronger smile on his face when the door closed behind him. This smile is not like the social etiquette smile just now, but a sense of joy that has finally met the opponent.
"Interesting ......"
The rain gradually became heavier, and the bean-sized raindrops fell heavily and made a big splash on the ground. The potholes were reflected in the hurried passers-by, everyone who seemed to be as clean as the rain, but in fact it was mixed with thousands of mud in the sky.
