Chapter 112 Private Horse Farm
"Did you get burned?" Bai Li's voice was full of concern. Before she finished speaking, she had already stood up from her seat.
In her memory, Jingye had always been calm and composed, meticulous in everything she did, and never made a mistake. This scene before her eyes was the first time she had ever seen Jingye like this in all the time she had known him.
Jingye frowned slightly, her lips pursed, and her usually deep eyes revealed a hint of pain. She nodded pitifully like a wounded fawn.
Seeing this, Bai Li felt heartbroken and quickly grabbed Jing Ye's hand to take her to the pool to cool off.
Jingye's hands were very beautiful, long and fair, with distinct knuckles, like a carefully sculpted work of art.
Such beautiful hands, it would be a loss to the world if they were burned!
How could you be so careless?
Bai Li gently held Jing Ye's fingers and carefully examined the burned area.
Bai Li's attention was entirely focused on Jing Ye's hands, and she didn't notice the fleeting cunning on Jing Ye's face. This momentary loss of control was quickly concealed by Jing Ye's lowered eyes.
Jingye looked down at Baili's focused expression, feeling a mix of emotions. She had indeed been burned, but it wasn't really because of an accident.
I'm sorry, please forgive my clumsy approach.
Jingye said in a low voice, "It's alright now. I'm sorry, the tea set might have been damaged. I'll have someone make a set of the same style as compensation."
Bai Li breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Jing Ye say that everything was alright and looked at the wound carefully again. She couldn't see any obvious burn marks.
Hearing Jingye's dejected tone, she couldn't help but gently pat Jingye's hand and softly comfort her, "No need to pay for it. It's just a tea set. It's its fault that it burned you. If it's not convenient, just get a new set. We have plenty of tea sets at home. Tea sets are not as important as you."
As she uttered her last words, Bai Li realized that she had once again inadvertently said something that could be easily misunderstood. It was probably because of these careless remarks that Jing Ye's favorability rating had changed uncontrollably.
Bai Li's expression froze for a moment, and she hurriedly let go of Jing Ye's hand, adding immediately, "I mean, nothing is more important than your hand."
Jingye keenly noticed Bai Li's sudden change; the moment the warm touch on her hand disappeared, her eyes unconsciously darkened.
After a moment of silence, he slowly spoke: "I was thinking about something just now, so I accidentally burned myself. It won't happen again next time."
Hearing this, Bai Li couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it that's worth thinking about so intently?"
"Miss seems to have become quite distant from me lately."
Jingye's voice was deep and steady, but it was like a pebble thrown into a lake, instantly causing ripples to spread across the once calm surface of Baili's heart.
I haven't spent much time with Jingye lately.
She spends most of her time at school and less time at home.
Thinking about it carefully, it's been a long time since I've had a meal with Jingye.
But in fact, there are deeper reasons.
Jingye's affection for her was so high that it made her somewhat at a loss.
Jingye's affection for her was ridiculously high, so high that it left her feeling completely bewildered when faced with these feelings. A rational voice kept echoing in her mind, repeatedly warning her that developing an overly intimate relationship with Jingye was unwise. Therefore, she unconsciously began to distance herself from Jingye.
Bai Li sighed softly, wondering to herself: Did Jing Ye notice?
If Bai Li had never known Jing Ye's level of affection, perhaps she could have interacted with him as naturally as before.
But now that she knows his feelings, she can no longer pretend nothing happened.
But what wrong has the quiet night done?
In this world, emotions are the most difficult thing to control, and even this rigorously trained butler is no exception.
He will feel wronged, sad, and will shed little pearls.
Bai Li had seen him at his most vulnerable.
From a rational perspective, developing feelings for one's butler is not appropriate.
But emotionally, through their daily interactions, Jingye had long since ceased to be merely her butler; he had quietly become an important presence in Bai Li's life, like family.
Therefore, Bai Li ultimately couldn't bear to be too heartless.
Moreover, even though Bai Li deliberately ignored him for a period of time, Jing Ye's favorability rating did not decrease at all and remained steadily at 79 points.
That's true; once you fall in love with someone, it's hard to let go.
Favorability rating, this seemingly cold number, actually carries the most genuine and passionate emotions; it is not an illusory value that can be adjusted at will.
Bai Li silently made a decision in her heart: she would wait a little longer. If, by then, Jing Ye's favorability rating towards her was still only 79 points, she would make other plans.
Bai Li raised her head, looked into Jing Ye's eyes, and said softly, "I'm sorry, Jing Ye, I've been quite busy lately. But I'm free all day today. Is there anywhere you want to go, or anything you want to do? I'll go with you. Let's go together, okay?"
In an instant, Jingye seemed to be illuminated.
If he was previously likened to deep, dark ink hidden in the night, then now, he seems to be infused with a clear, light blue light, shining brightly.
Jingye's lips curled up slightly, revealing an undisguised look of anticipation. She said sincerely, "Anything I can do with you is something I want to do, no matter what it is."
Bai Li pondered.
A moment later, she suddenly remembered something.
"I've got it. Come with me to a place."
----------------------------------
Ah Hu drove his car along the winding road.
Along the way, the bustling city gradually receded into the distance. The towering buildings, the endless stream of vehicles, and the throngs of people gradually disappeared from view, replaced by vast, boundless green fields.
As the car slowly drove into a quiet, closed section of road, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became exceptionally tranquil, as if isolated from the world.
The road is lined with lush forests, the tall trees blocking out the sun, and sunlight filtering through the leaves to create dappled patterns of light and shadow.
Finally, the car slowly came to a stop in front of an elegant wrought iron gate.
The gate is exquisitely designed, with intricate and delicate carvings. Under the sunlight, the gate shines with the unique luster of metal, exuding an air of understated luxury.
There were no conspicuous signs on the gate, making it appear as a low-key and private territory.
At the entrance, several security personnel in crisp uniforms had been waiting for a long time. They were as burly as Ah Hu, with muscles all over their bodies.
Such a scene would send chills down the spine of anyone who sets foot here for the first time, making them wonder if they have stumbled upon some secret location.
But Bai Li remained relatively relaxed in the face of all this.
These, like Ah Hu and the others, are all NPCs belonging to her. To her, they are just intimidating in appearance but pose no real danger.
Upon seeing Bai Li slowly step out of the car, the row of uniformed men immediately bowed slightly in unison and greeted her respectfully: "Miss Bai, welcome to the horse farm for the first time."
Bai Li nodded slightly in acknowledgment. She turned to look at Ah Hu in the car and calmly instructed, "Ah Hu, I estimate I'll be here until evening. You can do as you please for now. I'll let you know when it's time to leave."
Ah Hu responded without hesitation, his voice crisp and clear: "Okay, Miss Bai."
After saying that, the car smoothly drove away from there.
Jingye watched Ah Hu drive away, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
As Bai Li's full-time bodyguard, Ah Hu is almost always by her side whenever Bai Li goes out.
After spending these past few months together, Jingye has come to highly appreciate Ah Hu's professional abilities.
However, this time, Ah Hu actually felt at ease leaving Bai Li alone here.
Bai Li noticed Jing Ye's confusion and briefly explained while leading him into the horse farm: "This is my private horse farm, it's very safe."
I won this racecourse in the lottery.
I also won SSR items, item search tickets, and university admission notices, among other things.
The other prizes were so amazing that the horse farm seemed insignificant at the time, and after redeeming them, she completely forgot about them.
In addition to the horse farm, Shirari also won a private fish farm and an estate abroad.
The only problem is that the latter two places are quite far apart, while this horse farm is nearby and very close by car.
Today's trip was a spur-of-the-moment decision, and with only one day to spare, coming here was undoubtedly an excellent choice.
The stable manager strode up to us, wearing a perfectly pressed shirt with an exquisite equestrian badge pinned to his collar, and sporting a warm and professional smile; he looked very energetic.
How could I not be energetic?
After all, this is Shirai's private horse farm.
The only person he needed to serve was Bai Li.
This horse farm, which had been empty and operating silently for a long time, finally welcomed its owner.
The horse farm manager's smile was just right, conveying sincerity while maintaining professional decorum. He respectfully said, "Miss Bai, welcome. I am the manager of your horse farm. You can call me Ah Ma. I have carefully planned today's experience for you. Please follow me."
Ama...
Such simple and straightforward NPC names.
Bai Li didn't know where to begin complaining.
The NPCs that Wanxianglun gave her all had names that started with the character "A".
Bai Li couldn't help but guess that they might be produced on a factory assembly line, and on another level, they seemed to be a family, all belonging to the "A" generation.
But it is indeed quite easy to remember.
Upon entering the horse farm, the first thing that catches the eye is the clean and wide horse trail, which is covered with carefully selected fine sand that shimmers in the sunlight. Along the trail are neatly trimmed bushes.
The entire bridle path was extremely clean and beautiful, a feast for the eyes.
Moreover, it was definitely not cleaned in a hurry today; it must have been carefully maintained on a regular basis.
Not far away, several luxurious stables were lined up in a row, each of them spacious and bright.
Each stall is equipped with an advanced temperature control system to ensure that horses live in a comfortable environment in any season.
There are also dedicated staff responsible for the horses' care, providing meticulous attention to everything from their daily diet and living conditions to their health management.
In the stable, several horses of different colors were leisurely strolling or resting. They were well-maintained and their coats shimmered with a captivating luster in the sunlight.
The manager enthusiastically introduced the horse farm's unique services:
"Miss Bai, our professional team has selected several horses from around the world that are most suitable for you based on your physique. You can make the most suitable choice later based on your riding skills and preferences."
"If you have any further needs, please let me know, and I will do my best to search the world for you. Whether it's a gentle and easy-to-handle warmblood, a competition-level thoroughbred, or even breeding on our own farm, we will do our best to meet your needs."
Bai Li nodded, and couldn't help but sigh: Anything produced by Wanxiang Lun Daddy is bound to be a masterpiece.
Bai Li had never done equestrian sports, so she didn't have a standard for judging the level of a riding stable, but she could feel the quality of the service.
The kind of service that treats you like an emperor is something no public horse ranch can provide.
Unlike Jingye, he understood the different levels of horse farms around the world. As soon as he stepped into this place, he roughly judged that Bai Li's horse farm was definitely a world-class, optimized, modern racecourse, and even competition-level racecourses were no better than this.
But this was far from over. The racecourse manager then pointed into the distance and said:
"The circular horse trail in front of us is only a small part of our horse farm. There is a lot more space in the back mountain, all of which are pre-planned special riding routes."
"We have set up a variety of distinctive routes, including mountain forests, seaside, and pastoral areas, so that you can enjoy a unique cycling experience in different settings."
"In addition to these, we also have venues specifically for hosting polo matches, equestrian performances, and social dinners. Ms. Bai, if you would like to entertain distinguished guests here, this is an excellent choice."
Jingye sighed inwardly, realizing that such horse farm facilities were extremely rare even in the world's top equestrian circles.
Maintaining such a large horse farm would incur astronomical daily maintenance costs.
However, if some high-society events could be held here, it would undoubtedly become the best place to showcase wealth and status.
Jingye looked at Baili, who simply nodded calmly, probably agreeing with the horse farm manager's words.
Although she appeared calm on the surface, Bai Li was not like that at all.
She was already internally screaming "Holy crap!"
Wanxianglun, what good thing did you give me?
I thought it was just an ordinary horse farm, but it's getting more and more high-end as I listen to it?
In Shirari's original impression, a horse farm was all about riding horses.
But now it seems that's not the case.
It is more like a high-end luxury item exclusively for the upper class, or a very significant social calling card, an excellent social venue that can perfectly showcase one's status and taste.
She began to feel curious about the other two fish ponds and manor that Wanxiang had given her, and secretly thought that she would have to find some time to go and see them later.
After the horse farm manager finished his introduction, it was time for us to actually get our hands on the horses and experience them.
Before experiencing horseback riding, you need to change into different clothes according to the procedure.
Bai Li and Jing Ye went to their respective dressing rooms.
After Jingye changed into her equestrian attire, her entire demeanor instantly changed.
Bai Li's eyes lit up immediately.
No wonder he's always been a self-disciplined person.
Body management is amazing.
The usually reserved and demure butler has transformed into a dashing knight.
The fitted equestrian outfit perfectly accentuated his tall and straight figure, with his muscle lines subtly visible beneath the fabric, exuding both power and beauty, and showcasing his physical advantages.
—It's frighteningly spicy.
