Chapter 304: Riding Suit
Chapter 304
Unexpectedly, there is still such a card that allows one to save time without having to go to driving practice.
But the system products feel very reliable, using it on cars seems a bit wasteful.
The last time Xiao Qi went to practice for subject two of the driving test, her driving was quite good. She feels that while she doesn't have other strengths, her learning ability is still very strong.
After evening self-study, she looks up at the sky to stretch her neck, and sees a twinkling star approaching...No, it's a plane.
She suddenly has a flash of inspiration - if she uses the driving skills card for flying planes, wouldn't she gain the skill of flying planes?
But thinking of airplanes, *cough cough*, Xiao Qi has never been on a plane in her life, ?□ ?||.
Even the train was the first time she took when going to university after finishing the college entrance exam.
It's still too ambitious, who knows which lifetime it would be when she can fly planes and own planes.
Xiao Qi decides to use the driving skills card for cars, because she only has one car, and driving safety still needs to be ensured.
It is said that the girl who borrowed Su Li's car last time is still lying in the hospital. Dangerous driving is dangerous.
Besides, the subject two test is coming up soon. It is said that some girls can take the subject two test four or five times...Xiao Qi feels that saving some time is good too.
She decisively used the skill card.
In the days that followed, life was still busy, with classes and after-school activities, and the remaining time was spent immersed in the equestrian field for special training.
Club president Xiao Shengzhou did not give Xiao Qi her salary every day, instead switching to monthly payments.
Recently, many people have been coming to the equestrian club, with many new members. Li Wei Jin Su Li sometimes come too.
A professional equestrian coach was added to the equestrian club, and he looked especially handsome when training Xiao Qi.
Watching a little girl perform various dangerous moves on horseback, it was so charming it made one's throat itch. Equestrian events are truly beautiful.
Xiao Qi also got her own equestrian gear, boots, pants, and top, in black and white.
The pants were black, the top was white, and the riding boots were black, looking extremely cool when put together.
Like a female warrior.
Xiao Yu would sometimes come to play too, bringing his friends.
But he didn't disturb Xiao Qi. Her training area was specially cordoned off, it was almost becoming a viewing area. Whenever she trained, many people watched.
Coach Steven didn't stop them either, because being watched can also be considered a kind of training. If you can't even take being watched here, when you're at a big competition watched by many more people, it would be too much to handle. This was just a small scene.
Practicing equestrianism was quite easy for Xiao Qi. She was strong and agile, with great strength and the bouncing power of a panda and the endurance of a little donkey. At the same time, she had great rapport with horses. Her sense of smell was also very acute, allowing her to detect subtle differences in horses and their condition through smell.
Watching her ride was not just an equestrian performance, it was more as if she and the horse were one, with every move seeming effortless.
She even picked up a rose from the ground while riding the horse.
Jumping through hoops, hurdling, all kinds of dangerous high-difficulty moves, Xiao Qi seemed able to do them all easily.
Coach Steven felt he had picked up a treasure, encountered a natural-born equestrian, a genius, and a hardworking one at that.
Xiao Qi was more talented than any student he had before, and even more hardworking.
She meticulously completed any drill he taught, practicing repeatedly without any laziness, performing each move to the highest standard.
This was what satisfied Steven the most. There were many talented students, he had seen them before. Even the one who had slandered him could be considered a decent equestrian, also very gifted. That was why Steven wanted to train him systematically and earnestly. He didn't expect that outcome.
Talent combined with diligence, able to endure loneliness and listen to applause, that was the ultimate winner.
He believed that although that student was currently successful, his road would not be long.
While Xiao Qi would definitely win his reputation back for him eventually. Not only that, Xiao Qi was so young, her future stage was far beyond this. It was not only about reputation, Steven felt Xiao Qi would become his proudest student.
Many students, especially girls, were at a disadvantage in equestrian circles. Because once surrounded by flowers and applause, it was easy to lose yourself, easy to give up the sport, and eventually not know where you end up.
Just disappearing and being forgotten by others.
Moreover, equestrian events were considered an aristocratic sport in Europe and America, with default requirements for the temperament of equestrians. It was difficult for poor losers to become excellent equestrians.
But Xiao Qi had broken records in the marathon after winning it, yet still kept her head down and kept on steadily. Even Steven had to admit he couldn't do the same as her. If he had won a big prize when he was young, he would have indulged and enjoyed life for a period at least. But Xiao Qi was so young, yet after the competition she still studied diligently, still kept running, and even worked harder and was more grounded. Then she went and won the English speech contest champion in Jingnan Province.
She didn't show any arrogance or rashness. Instead, the more awards she won, the more grounded her temperament became.
Compared to when Steven first met her, she was even more charming now.
Steven thought that if he were a few decades younger, he would definitely be infatuated with such a girl, too charming.
Now he just felt extremely proud, bragging to his old friends every day, but he didn't send them videos of Xiao Qi's training. Filming was also strictly prohibited at the equestrian club. He was thrilled to see Xiao Qi's progress bit by bit.
As the competition date approached, he was more nervous than his student Xiao Qi.
On top of the daily training, he also took the initiative to contact his ex-wife.
His ex-wife Olivia was a budding designer, specializing in riding gear. She had even designed for some celebrities, one of her clients was a princess of a country. Steven wanted to ask his ex-wife to design a riding outfit for Xiao Qi.
When Olivia saw her ex-husband calling, she had mixed feelings. To be honest, she must have loved him once, and probably still had feelings now. Young Steven was very handsome and charming, but he was a good boyfriend not a good husband. Their time together was turbulent with constant arguing and fighting. They had loved and hated each other. Now she had remarried, to a fat man with a big belly. Although not the most attractive, life with him was stable and he treated her very well. Olivia didn't regret her choice, but she still picked up the call from Steven in less than 3 seconds.
"What, you want me to design riding gear for your student? Two or three sets is fine too???"
Olivia: ......
She was totally unprepared for this. After remarrying, Steven had never contacted her again. She had been conflicted and anxious, wondering what to say if he did contact her, but she never imagined the bastard would ask her this right off the bat.
She didn't just design riding gear for anyone, and her designs weren't cheap either.
She had also heard from old friends that Steven was going to take his student to a small competition in the Capital City.
And her friends didn't have high hopes, saying they heard his student had only ridden donkeys before, no horses. They felt Steven was too eager for success after being hit hard, desperately seeking a quick fix.
Olivia didn't think Steven was that kind of person, but hearing him ask for her help with the riding gear now, she thought her friends were probably right. The old Steven never paid attention to these things or worried about them, even mocking her designs as frivolous decorations. Real equestrians didn't rely on clothes to win, but now he was personally asking her for help. Even when they were married then divorced, he never asked her for favors like this.
Olivia suppressed her impulse to tell him to get lost. Instead, she agreed to her ex-husband's request, saying she would also be traveling to Magic City for her honeymoon.
She asked Steven to send her the girl's photos and measurements, speaking in a businesslike tone before hanging up.
