Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Miss Shen, Long Time No See.

After the live broadcast of the drama promotion, as expected, it made the trending searches again. However, this time there was an organized fan response, and Wang Feifei had already prepared, so the public opinion didn’t escalate too much and was quickly suppressed by newer topics.

Shen Zhiyi didn’t have time to pay attention to the trends in online opinions because she had been assigned a new task by Meng Fansheng.

“Adding a horse riding scene?”

Shen Zhiyi had read the script thoroughly and knew there indeed was such a scene, but the horse riding part was for the male lead, which had nothing to do with her.

“Yes, I discussed it with the scriptwriter, and adding you in a few shots for this scene seems suitable. It also serves as foreshadowing for later in the story.”

In Meng Fansheng’s crew, modifying the script while filming was common. Shen Zhiyi looked at the modified part of the script. “But I don’t know how to ride a horse. Can I learn in time?”

“It’s easy to learn. You just have to ride for a bit. I’ll introduce you to a horse riding instructor; half a month will be enough.”

With that said, Shen Zhiyi naturally had no objections, though she was not confident about it and immediately added horse riding lessons to her schedule.

Meng Fansheng not only introduced her to a horse riding instructor but also directly to an equestrian club. It was said that the male lead had learned there, and many people from the industry had taken horse riding lessons there. Indeed, Shen Zhiyi encountered several familiar actors on her first day there.

The trouble was, these male actors were good friends with Huo Heng.

Encountering them head-on was inevitable. Those people probably heard a lot about them from Huo Heng and spoke in a teasing tone, “Didn’t expect to bump into the person Huo Heng is always missing.”

One of the men even picked up his phone, half-jokingly said, “I’ll send Huo Heng a message to come over quickly.”

Shen Zhiyi was registering her information at the front desk and looked at the man with the phone, then pretended to reach for her phone too, “You don’t mind if I also call your girlfriend over, do you?”

She smiled slightly, “Does your girlfriend know you bring models here to hang out?”

The man frowned, showing an offended look, and subtly hid the model girl behind him, signaling a warning, “Do you really want to make enemies everywhere?”

“Just tit for tat,” after registering the information, her glance lightly swept over them, Shen Zhiyi walked a few steps forward, then turned around, “Actually, I don’t have your girlfriend’s contact number.”

Her expression was teasing, as if mocking the other as a coward.

How to put it, “Birds of a feather flock together” indeed makes sense.

After a brief conversation with the horse riding instructor, Shen Zhiyi chose a docile chestnut Morgan horse, which is suitable for beginners. However, she had never been exposed to horse riding before and always felt a bit intimidated—she was actually quite scared of such large animals.

It took quite a while to slowly start stepping forward with the guidance of the instructor. Shen Zhiyi’s body tensed, constantly feeling like she was going to fall, visibly nervous.

“Is that a beginner? She doesn’t even dare to move while sitting on the horse.”

From the VIP open-air rest area on the fourth floor, Qin Fang looked down at the scene on the Horse Farm below, and didn’t hesitate to sneer. Turning to someone he called out, “Fu Songzhi, were you like this when you first learned horse riding!”

The response he got was a towel thrown at him. Fu Songzhi, after finishing his water, spared a moment to address him, “Buzz off.”

“Don’t be embarrassed. I remember you were only twelve, and it’s normal to cry from being scared while learning horse riding,” Qin Fang teased playfully, pointing downstairs, “Just like that girl.”

He had always been tactless, and Fu Songzhi couldn’t be bothered to scold him, idly standing on the balcony to enjoy the breeze. Meanwhile, the newbie below hadn’t managed to make the horse move forward even a meter on her own.

Qin Fang went inside to play for a while, but seeing Fu Songzhi still standing on the balcony, he asked curiously, “What are you looking at?”

Having already confirmed with someone, Fu Songzhi replied calmly, “Don’t you think that person looks familiar?”

It was hard to see clearly from afar, and the outdoor lighting was strong. From the fitted white equestrian attire, Qin Fang could tell the person was a woman. After a moment of thought, he shockingly said, “Your ex-girlfriend?”

Meeting Fu Songzhi’s speechless gaze, he asked again, “Could it be my ex-girlfriend?”

Fu Songzhi slowly walked towards the room, “How could Uncle Qin feel safe entrusting the company to you? Isn’t he afraid of going bankrupt?”

“Hey, let’s talk nicely without personal attacks!”

Qin Fang followed up, “So who exactly is the ex-girlfriend?”

“You’ll find out in a bit.”

At the horse farm, Shen Zhiyi dismounted from her horse, trembling with fear, and only felt grounded once her feet hit the ground, “Am I the one who learns the worst among the newcomers?”

She really felt scared and insecure, always fearing that the horse might get agitated and run off; subconsciously, she still didn’t trust the animals, even though they were trained.

The instructor shook his head with a smile, “No, there are many more who are even more scared than you. It’s perfectly normal.”

He led the way in front, “Let’s go sit in the lounge for a while; relax a bit.”

Walking into the lounge lobby, the instructor received a phone call, “Your friend is upstairs; wants you to come up and sit for a while.”

“My friend?”

Shen Zhiyi’s first thought was of the few male actors she had encountered earlier; they weren’t her friends, they were Huo Heng’s friends. She frowned, “Please decline for me.”

The instructor looked embarrassed, “Or maybe you could go and tell them yourself?”

Those were people with certain statuses; he dared not meddle carelessly.

Shen Zhiyi then went upstairs. Everyone was from the industry; she wasn’t worried about them possibly misbehaving, but she knew they would inevitably make a few sharp remarks. She used to hold back for Huo Heng’s sake in the past, but now she had nothing to worry about.

The elevator went straight up, and she entered a minimally styled lobby. Further inside, there was a resting area and a gaming area, and she could faintly hear men talking.

Shen Zhiyi stopped at the door, and before she could knock, the door was pulled open from the inside. Fu Songzhi saw her, slightly raised his eyebrows, and raised his glass from a distance, greeting her formally for the first time.

“Miss Shen, long time no see.”

Shen Zhiyi blinked slowly, not expecting that the ones who invited her were these two. They must already know about her relationship with Pei Yu. She felt slightly uneasy and nodded, “Long time no see.”

The last time they met was at that charity evening; they pretended not to know each other’s other identity, but this time there was no need to pretend.

The wine in Qin Fang’s glass almost spilled out as he glared at Fu Songzhi resentfully, worried that he might record their recent conversation and send it to Pei Yu.

Fu Songzhi couldn’t be bothered with him and handed Shen Zhiyi a glass of juice, “Miss Shen, are you interested in horse riding?”

Actually, seeing her stiff and scared on the horse, she did not seem interested at all.

Shen Zhiyi truthfully replied, “Needed for shooting a film.”

“If you want to learn riding,” Qin Fang interjected, “doesn’t Huating have a horse farm? Why come here?”

Shen Zhiyi was surprised, “Really?”

Although she lived in Huating, she had never wandered around, and Huating was so vast, she hardly knew what was there.

Qin Fang was puzzled by her question, “Isn’t there?”

Who really lives in Huating anyway?
