181: Chapter 181 Does this saddle hurt your butt?

Zhao Sihan glanced at the neighboring stable. It was a tall racehorse with a coat as black as ink.

Classmate Xiao Zhao walked over, patted its neck, and said, "It's much sturdier than 'Rouge.' How about you ride it and race me later?"

Su Ye leaned against the stable doorframe, watching her excitement.

"Sure. But if you lose, you have to accept the penalty."

Zhao Sihan stiffened her neck and retorted, "Fine! Who's afraid of whom!"

Suddenly, she caught sight of an electronic screen on the stable wall and asked curiously, "What's this thing for? It's showing numbers."

The stable hand, fearing this lively young lady might cause some sort of trouble, hurriedly explained, "Miss, this is a real-time monitoring screen for the horse. It shows heart rate, body temperature, and recent training data."

After explaining, he quickly added, "Sir, Miss, why don't I take you two to the equipment area? We just got a new piece from our boss's collection—a diamond-encrusted saddle."

Women love shiny things. Upon hearing the stable hand, she immediately said, "Let's go, let's go! Hurry up, Old Su, let's go take a look. I want to know if that saddle pricks your butt."

The two followed the stable hand to the equipment area, where various equestrian gear was neatly displayed on shelves. Zhao Sihan spotted the saddle in a glass case immediately; it was covered in densely packed diamond chips, glittering blindingly under the lights.

Zhao Sihan's eyes lit up as she said, "Wow! It's so pretty!"

Classmate Xiao Zhao reached out to touch it, but was blocked by the glass. She turned to the stable hand and asked curiously, "Who is this for? Their butt must be really hard."

Su Ye said, unable to laugh or cry, "This is just a decoration, a collectible, a piece of art. Who would actually use it?"

The stable hand nodded earnestly nearby. Who had a butt hard enough to sit on diamonds? Wouldn't it be uncomfortable?

Afterwards, Su Ye asked the stable hand, "Do you sell ready-made equestrian clothing here?"

The stable hand nodded quickly and replied, "Yes, yes. Sir, I'll take you there right now."

Not far away, Su Ye and Zhao Sihan followed the stable hand to the equipment retail area, where sets of ready-made equestrian clothing hung on the walls, along with other equestrian gear.

Classmate Xiao Zhao immediately took a fancy to a pink equestrian outfit. Su Ye naturally noticed Classmate Xiao Zhao's gaze and said to a salesperson nearby, "Could you please take that pink one down for us to try on?"

Zhao Sihan took it and ran to the fitting room. She came out wearing it after less than two minutes and spun around in place: "Does it look good? It's just not as well-fitting as the one I have at home!"

Su Ye nodded and smiled as he straightened her collar: "It looks good. The one at home is custom-made, after all. This is ready-made, so it certainly can't compare."

He casually straightened the hat on Classmate Xiao Zhao's head: "You just need to wear the hat straight; otherwise, it will block your vision while riding."

Zhao Sihan impatiently adjusted her hat and said, "I know!"

Suddenly, Classmate Xiao Zhao caught a scent and said, slightly dazed, "Eh? What smells so good?"

The salesperson standing behind them smiled and said, "Miss, the scent is drifting over from the Western restaurant. They are preparing afternoon tea."

Su Ye looked in the direction the salesperson was pointing, then asked Zhao Sihan, "Do you want to go try some?"

Zhao Sihan immediately ran back to the fitting room, took off the equestrian outfit, handed it to the salesperson, grabbed Su Ye's hand, and ran toward the clubhouse: "Let's go! Keep this set for me; I'm going to wear it later."

Su Ye also pointed to a light gray equestrian outfit and said, "Please, take that one down too. We'll come back to change later."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he was dragged away by Classmate Xiao Zhao.

As soon as they entered the Western restaurant, she was drawn to a window seat and pulled Su Ye to sit down: "Right here! We can see the training ground outside!"

The waiter handed over a menu. Zhao Sihan glanced at it and closed it: "Don't show me this foreign language stuff; I don't want to see it! Bring me the best thing you have here, and also a glass of iced cola!"

Su Ye smiled helplessly and said to the waiter, "Bring her a strawberry mousse and a glass of iced cola. I'll have a cup of Blue Mountain coffee."

Zhao Sihan patted Su Ye's arm and said with a smile, "You really understand me! You're worthy of being my man."

Within two minutes, the food they ordered arrived. Classmate Xiao Zhao ate while turning her head to look at the training ground outside the window: "Old Su, look at those people riding; they're so slow, like snails. I'll definitely be faster than them when I ride 'Rouge' later!"

Just as Su Ye was about to speak, his phone rang. It was a call from Yu Chen: "Xiao Su, we are about to arrive at the entrance. Where are you guys?"

"We are at the Western restaurant. We'll come to pick you up right away." Su Ye hung up the phone and said to Zhao Sihan, "Let's go. My friends have arrived. Let's change clothes first, then head to the horse track."

Zhao Sihan swallowed the last piece of cake, downed the cola in one gulp, and hurriedly stood up to issue a challenge to Su Ye: "Finally, I can ride a horse! Wait and see how I beat you later!"

As she spoke, she ran out first. Her hard-soled shoes tapped crisply against the marble floor, disrupting the elegant atmosphere of the Western restaurant and making it lively.

Two black Bentley Mulsannes had just rolled over the white marble gate of the Golden Knight Club. General Manager Lin Wensen, wearing a tuxedo, jogged over with his staff, while Su Ye and Classmate Xiao Zhao walked slowly from a distance.

The light gray handmade equestrian outfit made Su Ye look refined and tall. He reached out to help Zhao Sihan adjust her crooked equestrian hat, but she swatted his hand away.

"No need, no need! I'll do it myself!"

Zhao Sihan grabbed the brim of the hat, took it off, and then plopped it back on her head, but the brim was still crooked to one side.

At this moment, Yu Chen and Chen Ze also got out of the car. Yu Chen was wearing a dark brown corduroy equestrian outfit, rolling a string of yellow rosewood beads in his hand. He smiled and said, "Sihan, you're still as straightforward as ever; you haven't changed a bit of that Shenyang girl's personality."

Yu Chen and Zhao Sihan had met before. It was back when they helped find Chen Anle at the amusement park, and Yu Xiaoxiao was found along the way. At that time, the two had also chatted a bit. Given Zhao Sihan's personality—carefree and able to chat with anyone—they had a pleasant conversation last time.

Zhao Sihan was delighted to see Yu Chen. She turned to Su Ye and complained, "Old Su, why didn't you tell me it was Brother Yu and Brother Ze? I was wondering who it was."

Zhao Sihan then grinned at Yu Chen, revealing two small canine teeth: "Brother Yu, you say that!" "It's so tiring to pretend to be cultured!"

Afterwards, she peered into the two Mulsannes, looking left and right, then looked at the two men and said, "Where are the two sisters-in-law and the two little cuties?"

Chen Ze and Yu Chen exchanged smiles, and then Chen Ze said, "Your two sisters-in-law are both busy with their own affairs, and the little ones are at school. We'll bring them out to play another day."

Classmate Xiao Zhao tapped her chin with her finger, thought for a moment, and then looked at Su Ye and asked, "Old Su, shouldn't I be doing something? I seem so idle."

Su Ye rubbed Classmate Xiao Zhao's head and said with a smile, "Soon. I've already arranged for Old Zhang to find formulas and a shop for you."

Chen Ze had just straightened the collar of his equestrian outfit. Upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "What? Is Sihan opening a shop?"
