Chapter 108: Chapter 71: Handling

Following the agent’s gaze, the director also noticed Lin Man and Shu Wan practicing horse riding.

The director nodded in satisfaction, "It’s good for the crew when the female actors have a good relationship."

The agent, standing to the side, silently scoffed to himself: A good relationship? Wait until they start fighting, then don’t cry.

However, contrary to the agent’s expectation, Lin Man and Shu Wan didn’t start fighting—instead, they began to argue.

Wanting to look better on camera, Lin Man was indeed interested in learning horse riding techniques, but Shu Wan was a very strict teacher. Moreover, after riding for a while, Lin Man wanted to give up.

"I think you’re just taking personal revenge, tormenting me on purpose. I’m not learning anymore."

Lin Man threw down the reins, ready to dismount.

Shu Wan, sitting behind her, gently pressed down and pushed Lin Man back into position.

"No."

"Why not?" Lin Man fumed. "Why not? If I stop, wouldn’t that be great publicity for you to overshadow me with your articles? Why do you care?"

"Because a lot of our scenes are in the same frame," Shu Wan stated bluntly. "I don’t want to watch my scene and see you distorted and twisted."

"...This is unbearable."

Lin Man already disliked Shu Wan, and now her dislike had deepened. In a fit of anger, she exploded.

She realized that Shu Wan was unusually strong, able to pin her down with just two fingers.

Lin Man felt she was on a rogue horse, unable to practice or dismount.

Suddenly regretting, Lin Man wished she hadn’t provoked Shu Wan earlier; who knew she could be so extreme.

Shu Wan ignored Lin Man’s tumultuous thoughts and continued to supervise and correct her movements repeatedly.

Shu Wan’s teaching was practical, unlike other flashy instructors at the horse racing track. She taught beginner-appropriate skills tailored to Lin Man’s height and personality.

This made it highly efficient.

Even Lin Man, who knew nothing about horse riding, managed to look decent riding a few steps after practicing all morning.

"Hold the reins tightly," Shu Wan released her hand. "Keep your back straight, don’t slouch, it’s ugly."

Lin Man, already somewhat annoyed by Shu Wan’s earlier comments, stiffened her back immediately when Shu Wan called her ugly.

"Go on, ride by yourself."

At Shu Wan’s words, Lin Man nudged the horse’s belly, and the horse started to jog lightly.

After a strenuous morning that left her back and waist aching, at this moment, with the trees and grass swiftly receding, feeling the gentle breeze against her cheeks, and the horse changing its speed and direction as she adjusted the reins, a sense of satisfaction unexpectedly welled up inside Lin Man. Riding a horse actually felt quite good.

Unexpectedly, Shu Wan was seriously teaching her, though Lin Man pondered if there was an ulterior motive.

Thinking of Shu Wan, Lin Man felt something was off. Suddenly, her eyes widened; she knew what was wrong—her back was cold.

Shu Wan had been sitting behind her just now; the wind couldn’t have reached her back.

But now, Lin Man could distinctly feel the wind piercing through her clothes, touching her skin directly.

Lin Man instinctively turned to look—it was empty!

A wave of fear spread across Lin Man’s heart.

She was riding alone now, and not slowly at all! This was bad, she was going to fall.

The more frightened she became, the more panicked she got. Just a moment ago when she didn’t realize Shu Wan had left, everything was fine, but discovering Shu Wan was no longer behind her, Lin Man forgot all the skills she had learned.

Just as the horse was about to bolt uncontrollably, she was about to tumble down as well.

Suddenly, Shu Wan’s voice came from nearby, "Sit tight, hold the reins tightly, don’t panic."

Not far away, Shu Wan sat on another horse, quietly watching Lin Man.

But Lin Man was truly panicked and no longer cared about losing face, "You get me down, I’m not riding anymore."

"Just do as I said, and you won’t fall," Shu Wan remained still.

Lin Man had no choice but to forcibly calm herself and adjust her posture as Shu Wan instructed.

True to Shu Wan’s word, she regained control of the horse.

Having adjusted to riding alone, the panic in Lin Man’s heart gradually decreased, and eventually, she was able to cover a few hundred meters on her own.

Being a top actress in the entertainment circle and the leading lady of "Yun Ni," Lin Man naturally possessed an outstanding appearance.

Now dressed in riding attire and calmly holding the reins while walking on the grass, she soon drew everyone’s attention.
