Yun Jian rubbed Gu Nian’s shiny black hair and flashed a smile before stepping forward. She paused and tured back to Qing You. “You two should come along.”
Qing You nodded and pulled the rope tying Gu Nian’s hands as she went to Yun Jian.
Gu Nian pursed her lips but ultimately kept up to Yun Jian with Qing You.
On their way there, Qing You had even stopped and rubbed Gu Nian’s head like Yun Jian did then went close to her ear and lightly teased her, “Silly little Niannian.”
Qing You held her laugh in after that and went after Yun Jian.
Gu Nian was speechless. How was this her life again? Why was everyone bullying her?
The group of students who stood behind them were baffled. What was going on? Why did what Gu Nian and Yun Jian say sound so deep? Why did they feel like both of them were purposely putting up a front when they talked to attract people’s attention?
Some of their classmates were repulsed, thinking that Yun Jian must have done that intentionally just to stir attention from others.
Despite that, no one said it aloud or showed their disgust on their faces.
Yun Jian’s class gathering was also considered a graduation ceremony. It was not limited to only students from their class; students from other classes and even students who were not from Longmen Yi Junior High School had come along as well. That was why it was fine adding Qing You and Gu Nian too.
Qing You had brought Gu Nian out for a walk today but knowing that Yun Jian’s class was having a gathering, she took Gu Nian along to drop by for some fun.
“Let’s go, let’s go. We need to hurry and try to arrive at the stable before 12:50pm because we have to pick the horses we like once we’re there. There’ll be a race in the afternoon.”
Lin Yagian was in front of them all, leading the way like a little tour guide.
It ought to be mentioned that she had made a nice arrangement.
Back when they were still in school, Lin Yaqian had already showcased exceptional event organizing skill as the academic representative, so everyone was happy to follow along her plan now.
Shortly, they came to the horseback riding arena and first met the old caretaker there.
The old man who took care of the horses had the last name Zhang. Uncle Zhang was either in his fifties or sixties and had taken care of horses for 30-40 years. Basically, he knew a lot about horses as he had started taking care of them seriously when he was 16-17 years old.
Uncle Zhang managed and ran the whole stable currently.
Lin Zihang obviously knew Uncle Zhang. After he smugly went over to talk to the older man, the latter took everyone to pick their horse.
“Xiao Jian, which horse are you choosing?” Chen Xinyi looked thrilled as she squealed at Yun Jian tugging her.
“These horses can’t fly. I’m not riding them,” Gu Nian spoke after a disdainful glare at the others who were selecting their horses.
Horses in Yulong Mainland could fly, so she did not want a horse like these.
Yun Jian smiled.
“I think this horse looks good. It looks robust and muscular, it’ll definitely run the fastest. Il pick it!” Zhang Shaofeng went to a horse and spoke as he untied the rope around the black horse.
“Pft!” A scoff of aman rang suddenly.
The guy who snorted was not from Yun Jian’s class but probably a friend or relative who came with one of their classmates.
The guy mocked Zhang Shaofeng, “You don’t pick a horse judging if it’s muscular. Being muscly doesn’t mean the horse will run fast. Never mind, amateurs like you all won’t know. I’ve been racing horses for years… That horse you pick won’t do at all!”
