660 Learning to Ride a Horse

Bruises littered her body. Zhu An’an had fallen quite heavily.

Zhu An’an grimaced in pain, but she didn’t shout out a word.

Zhu Asi could not help but admire her. “You fell so badly, but you still want to continue riding. Why don’t you just ride with one of us?”

“No, I have to prove my strength!”

Zhu An’an puffed her chest.

Alas, she fell off her horse again.

Zhu Asi’s heart was in his throat. He immediately took Zhu An’an over and placed her on his horse. He said, “It’s not a good thing to lose your life riding a horse.”

Zhu An’an was stunned for a moment and said awkwardly, “I didn’t expect that to be so bad at this.”

Zhu Asi comforted Zhu An’an, “It’s okay. I also have many things that I’m bad at. Don’t take it to heart.”

Zhu An’an coughed and looked at Jiang Ming after hearing Zhu Asi’s words of comfort.

She did not want him to think that she was stupid.

Zhu Asi understood what Zhu An’an was thinking and laughed. “Ning Caichen is not that kind of person.”

When they were talking about Ning Caichen, Jiang Ming rode over and asked curiously, “I heard you two say my name just now. What were you talking about?”

Zhu Asi said mysteriously, “Ning Caichen, this is a secret. I can’t tell you.”

“Fine by me.”

Jiang Ming did not mind seeing Zhu Asi like this.

He believed that Zhu Asi and Zhu An’an would not say anything bad about him.

Then, he looked at Zhu An’an worriedly. “I’ll get a doctor to take a look at you later. I saw that you kept falling. You fell a little too hard just now.”

Zhu Asi also said, “That’s right. She could have killed herself. If she really fell to her death like this, it would be a shame.”

“This…”

Zhu An’an did not know what to say. She scratched the back of her head. “I don’t know how riding a horse has become a problem for me.”

“I’ll show you how to do it.”

Jiang Ming exaggerated his actions. He clamped his legs tightly, pulled the ropes with his left hand, and placed his right hand on the horse.

Zhu An’an immediately understood and looked at Zhu Asi. “Let me try again.”

Zhu Asi shook his head. “I’ve taught you so many times, but you still couldn’t do it. Ning Caichen just demonstrated it once, and you already know how to do it?” Don’t take any more risks. You already have enough bruises on your body.”

Jiang Ming also saw the bruises on Zhu An’an’s legs and told her, “Forget it. We can continue riding when the bruises are healed.”

Long Qingqing was a slow rider, so she rode over at this moment. She saw the wound on Zhu An’an’s leg and was instantly frightened. “Zhu An’an… your wound.”

She stuttered, unable to continue.

Zhu An’an was wearing a gauze dress today, but the gauze dress was not transparent. Still, the bruises on her legs were still visible, which meant that Zhu An’an’s injuries were not light.

“You treat me like I’m sick.”

Zhu An’an shook her head and then said firmly, “Life is about endless challenges. I’ll give it another try.”

Zhu An’an was very determined and insisted on getting off the horse, forcing Zhu Asi to stop the horse.

He frowned and could not help but curse Zhu An’an. “You’re too reckless! If I hadn’t stopped my horse, wouldn’t you have rolled off?”

Jiang Ming also said, “Riding a horse is one thing. Stop being reckless.”

Zhu An’an knew that she was wrong. She stuck out her tongue. “I will not be like this in the future. I was too impatient this time. I will be more careful next time.”

“Zhu An’an, I don’t have the same interest in riding a horse as you do,” Long Qingqing said with admiration. “But Ning Caichen told you to cherish your life. If you lose your life, you won’t be able to ride a horse.”

“You’re right. I’ll definitely be more careful.”

Jiang Ming and Zhu Asi looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other’s eyes. In the end, they could only say, “Alright then. If there’s any problem, you can tell us. We’ll help you by dragging you onto our horses.”

Long Qingqing said without hesitation, “I’ll be your support. If Zhu An’an falls, I might be able to catch her.”

Seeing that the three of them were worried about her, Zhu An’an was touched. She mounted the horse.

Jiang Ming and Zhu Asi waited on both sides. However, this time, as Zhu An’an had said, she had indeed gotten the hang of it and was getting better at it.

Zhu Asi could not help but feel a little depressed. “I started learning horse riding when I was young. Why couldn’t I teach her properly? Ning Caichen, how did you teach her? How did Zhu An’an learn it after just one demonstration?”

“There’s something wrong with the method you taught her. You didn’t explain some of the strength and other movements, so she fell easily. But if you demonstrate it to her directly and use a larger range of movements, she will understand,” Jiang Ming said.

“Ning Caichen, you’re the most experienced.”

Zhu Asi gave Jiang Ming a thumbs up in admiration.

Zhu An’an was so happy that she was about to jump up and down. She muttered, “I finally learned how to ride a horse. This is the best day of my life.”

Seeing Zhu An’an acting like a child, Long Qingqing could not help but ask, “How old is Zhu An’an now? She seems a little young.”

“She is indeed quite young, only sixteen.”

Jiang Ming shook his head.

He did not want Zhu An’an to come over, but Zhu An’an secretly followed them over.

Otherwise, he would never have brought Zhu An’an along.

“Sixteen?”

Long Qingqing widened her eyes.

She was already in her twenties.

Then, she looked at Zhu An’an enviously. “Being sixteen was wonderful. Back when I was sixteen, I was not this enthusiastic.”

“Don’t say that. Everyone has their own temperament. When you’re older, you’ll feel that your current temperament is quite good.”

Jiang Ming smiled.

Zhu Asi glanced at Jiang Ming and said with a smirk, “Ning Caichen, how about we compete?”

“Go on.”

Jiang Ming was a little interested.

Zhu Asi pointed at the tree in front. “Let’s see who can reach that tree first.”

Zhu An’an interjected, “Let me participate. I want to try too.”

Zhu Asi looked at Zhu An’an suspiciously. “Are you sure?”
