Guan Shimeng had not yet come out from the partition, and Li Qinghe did not dare to waste too much time with Xu Fan, lest they be caught red-handed.

After glancing at Xu Fan, she walked out from the compartment.

Xu Fan, left alone, soon heard the footsteps of the two leaving together.

Thereupon, he walked out of the restroom.

Although such a farce had occurred, overall, the matter had been taken care of.

Li Qinghe's plan with Hua Entertainment had nothing to do with Guan Shimeng, and with her position in Hua Entertainment, she believed she could easily resolve this trouble for Guan Shimeng.

After leaving the tea house, Xu Fan asked for directions and then hurried to the holiday resort's racetrack.

From a distance, he could see that the group of people who had been there before was already at the racetrack.

Under the instruction of a horse master on the track, they were learning how to manage the horses beneath them.

Out of the group, only Guan Shimeng and Li Qinghe were not participating.

The reason Li Qinghe wasn't riding a horse was obviously that she was lingering nearby, pondering how to get closer to Li Junxiu through teaching.

As for Guan Shimeng, that girl was clearly waiting for his arrival.

"Xu Fan, where did you go? We couldn't find you just now."

Upon seeing Xu Fan coming over, Guan Shimeng trotted up to meet him.

Looking at her pouting with a complaining expression, Xu Fan couldn't help feeling a bit embarrassed.

"Er, I got lost just now and couldn't find the place."

Xu Fan, of course, couldn't tell her the truth, so he touched his nose and gave her an offhand explanation.

"Silly."

With a giggle, Guan Shimeng blinked her large eyes with anticipation and said, "You promised just now to teach me how to ride a horse, can we start now?"

"Of course, we can."

Not in a hurry to deal with the clingy Li Qinghe, Xu Fan led Guan Shimeng to a stable nearby.

After consulting with the staff, he started to select a horse for Guan Shimeng.

Based on personality and temperament, horses are classified into three categories: hot-blooded horse, cold-blooded horse, and warm-blooded horse.

Hot-blooded horses are the most spirited and are generally the fastest, often used for racing.

Cold-blooded horses have large bodies and skeletons and are calm and steady, usually used as work horses.

As for the mixed breed of the two, the warm-blooded horse, everything from size, personality to temperament falls between the two, and most horses used in equestrian sports are of this kind.

Liu Jin's racetrack is not small, mainly focusing on hot-blooded horses and warm-blooded horses.

These two kinds of horses, though fast, are also difficult to control and not suitable for a beginner like Guan Shimeng.

Cold-blooded horses are relatively safer and more suitable for Guan Shimeng to ride.

After looking for a while, Xu Fan quickly found a Percheron.

The Percheron, originating from France and also known as the Perche Draft, has short and strong limbs and a broad and sturdy build, representing the cold-blooded horses. Xu Fan led the horse out of the stable and brought it to the racetrack.

"You will use this horse for now."

Guan Shimeng seemed quite fond of the big white horse, and after Xu Fan had briefly introduced her to the breed and points to pay attention to, he began to teach her how to mount the horse.

"Xu Fan, I... I'm a bit scared..."

Despite Xu Fan having just told her that the horse was very mild-tempered, Guan Shimeng was still a little worried.

"Don't worry, there will be no problems at all."

"Come on, I'll help you up."

After reassuring her with a smile, Xu Fan supported Guan Shimeng's waist and instructed her on how to step onto the stirrup and mount the horse.

"Ah!"

Grasping the reins, with one foot on the stirrup, Guan Shimeng suddenly lost her balance, teetering backwards.

With quick reflexes, Xu Fan immediately placed a palm under Guan Shimeng's perky, ample buttocks.

"All set now?"

With his support, Xu Fan carefully helped Shimeng sit on top of the saddle.

Seeing the girl clutching the reins with a nervous expression as she tightly gripped the horse's back, Xu Fan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Relax already, didn't I say I'm here for you?"

"Yeah, Xu Fan, thanks to you just now, otherwise I might've fallen off."

"I'm such a klutz..."

Had Xu Fan not been quick with his hands, no telling what might have happened. Shimeng's cheeks flushed crimson as she recalled the solid feeling of her buttocks cradled in Xu Fan's palm.

"Silly girl..."

With a smile, Xu Fan began teaching Shimeng how to ride. The obedient Percheron was very well-behaved, and with Xu Fan's proper guidance, it wasn't long before Shimeng could ride the horse on her own.

"Xu Fan, I got it!"

Shimeng looked excited now that she could control the steed below her.

"Okay then, now that you've got it, why don't you try walking around the riding arena by yourself?"

"Yes! Sure! I'll give it a try!"

Feeling a great sense of security with Xu Fan, Shimeng nodded vigorously, took hold of the reins, and steered the Percheron off into the distance.

With a moment to spare, Xu Fan turned his attention to Li Qinghe.

Li Junxiu truly embodied the phrase 'persistent,' managing to stay by Qinghe's side despite her cold demeanor.

Since he had promised Qinghe, Xu Fan needed to follow through. He took a deep breath and walked over toward her.

"Beauty, why just watch? How about I teach you to ride a horse?"

Approaching, Xu Fan began flirting with Li Qinghe right in front of Li Junxiu.

"..."

Seeing Xu Fan's cheeky behavior, Qinghe nearly burst out laughing.

His way of flirting showed no regard for Li Junxiu at all. God knows how Junxiu must've felt inside.

"Can you handle it?"

Suppressing her smile, Qinghe played along with Xu Fan, taking up a flirtatious banter right in front of Junxiu.

"Of course I can."

Xu Fan, with a crooked smile, said, "I have a nickname in the jianghu: 'Among men, Lu Bu; among horses, Diao Chan.'"

"Oh, sorry, that's for riding at night. During the day, Red Hare, yeah, Red Hare."

"..."

This scene was extremely irritating to Li Junxiu.

Since the beginning, Junxiu hadn't deigned to give Xu Fan a proper look.

Based on the attitude of the group from before, this guy was probably just here to make up the numbers at the gathering.

He was hardly considered significant.

Yet how could Junxiu have imagined that Xu Fan would be so brazen as to hit on the woman he was eyeing, right in front of him?

The fists gripping the reins tightened; as he watched this man, who was making Qinghe laugh uncontrollably, his knuckles cracked ominously.

If it weren't for his concern over image, Junxiu really wanted to slap Xu Fan across the face!

"Friend? Are you blind, or just brainless?"

Mounted on the horse, Junxiu's eyes darkened as he glared at Xu Fan.
