Chapter 332: Chapter 332
The Qingzhou West Suburban Horse Ranch spans over 150 acres, housing more than 300 stables, an indoor training and competition arena of over 1,000 square meters, and a member activity center exceeding 3,000 square meters, including grazing areas, orchards, and barbecue zones.
Certified by the professional Equestrian Association as a four-star training and competition arena, this horse ranch is equipped with international-standard competition grounds, a clubhouse, a tea bar, a restaurant, and facilities for outdoor barbecues and leisure entertainment.
The most captivating feature of the ranch is its expansive lawn of over 10,000 square meters, evoking the breathtaking boundlessness of a prairie, where galloping on horseback would be an exhilarating experience.
Four buses branded with the Lanya High School logo stopped at the designated parking area of the ranch. One by one, youthful faces emerged, glancing around curiously or excitedly.
Luuo Yunqi and Xiao Ling stepped off the last bus. The wide-open west suburbs allowed the wind to roam freely and boldly.
Luuo Yunqi couldn’t help but pull her down jacket tighter over her school uniform.
"Hello, students. I am your head equestrian instructor, Guan Tao. Please go change into your riding gear first, and we’ll meet at the training arena in fifteen minutes."
Guan Tao raised his hand, and staff standing nearby split the students into male and female groups, leading them to the changing rooms.
All students attending the equestrian lesson were required to bring their own riding gear. Seeing that Gao Yuyue and Shen You’an were unmoved, Yan Lu asked, "Did you forget your riding gear?"
Some of the girls glanced over curiously.
Gao Yuyue snapped her fingers, "It’s here."
A young woman in uniform bearing the horse ranch’s logo walked into the room and approached Gao Yuyue respectfully.
"Miss Gao, as per your instructions, the riding gear has been prepared."
The woman placed two paper bags on the coffee table in front of Gao Yuyue. Gao Yuyue opened one bag, glanced inside, and nodded in satisfaction.
"Thank you for your efforts."
"It’s my duty. I hope you and your friends have a great time. Should you need anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me." Googlᴇ search novel(ꜰ)ire.net
With that, the woman stepped out of the changing room.
Xiao Ling clicked her tongue in amazement and whispered to Luuo Yunqi, "I noticed that woman’s name tag says ’Manager.’ I didn’t know such services existed here."
Luuo Yunqi withdrew her gaze. "Hurry up and get changed."
Gao Yuyue opened one of the paper bags: "Do you prefer red or blue?"
Shen You’an glanced over. "Blue, I suppose."
But Gao Yuyue slid the red one toward her with a sly smile. "I think red suits you better."
After changing into her riding gear, Shen You’an stepped out, adjusting her sleeves. Gao Yuyue let out a loud whistle. "It’s like it was tailor-made for you. My taste is simply unmatched."
Yan Lu’s eyes lit up. "Can you share the shopping link with me?"
Gao Yuyue chuckled and patted Yan Lu’s head. "Do you know the difference between seller’s display photos and buyer’s real-life results? With your petite frame, don’t even dream about wearing the same outfit as Shen You’an."
Yan Lu pouted in protest. "You’re really one to talk! You’re not tall either."
"True, but at least I embrace my flaws, unlike some people who wear height-enhancing insoles. Tsk tsk, height is like a cough—you can’t hide it."
The jab landed on Luuo Yunqi, who pressed her lips together and pulled open the curtain of her changing cubicle to step out. Lifting her head, she froze as her gaze locked onto the girl in the red riding outfit across the room, causing her pupils to contract involuntarily.
Xiao Ling, now dressed, stepped out and noticed Luuo Yunqi staring into space. She followed her line of sight and couldn’t help but let out an exclamation.
Shen You’an’s figure was tall and slender—almost five foot seven. Though at first glance she looked delicate, her frame had all the right curves in all the right places, a physique enviable enough to make one drool.
The maroon double-breasted English-style blazer showcased her figure impeccably, while the white fitted riding pants highlighted her long, slim legs. With black knee-high riding boots, the simple riding outfit elevated her to the level of high-fashion runway sophistication.
The girl lowered her head to adjust her leather gloves. Even in her casual standing posture, she exuded an indescribable air of effortless charm and elegance, perfection in every detail.
Luuo Yunqi diverted her gaze, picked up her helmet, and walked away, head lowered.
The students, now all clad in their riding gear, gathered under the guidance of staff at the training arena.
Head Coach Guan Tao glanced at the group of handsome boys and beautiful girls in front of him, his mood instantly lifted.
It was truly a feast for the eyes.
Guan Tao explained the safety precautions for the equestrian lesson, noticing how attentively everyone listened. He thought to himself: Lanya High School really does produce well-mannered students, regardless of their backgrounds; their composure is admirable.
"Equestrian sports revolve around the horse—it’s not only our equipment but also our partner and friend. In this first session, you’ll choose a horse that you feel a special connection with."
