"Mmm~"
"This scenery is so pleasant to look at~"
The vast, boundless grassland, with quite a few horses roaming about... As soon as Qiu Xi and the other three arrived, their eyes were immediately captivated.
That's right!
In the end, the four of them decided to keep things simple and asked Zhang Qiang to help them choose a local spot.
Zhang Qiang didn't disappoint them; he found an excellent location, a natural horse farm.
This sight was more beautiful than they could have imagined before coming here, something that only existed in videos before.
"Xiao Xi, why don't we go try it now?"
"Let's go try."
Not to mention Song Daiyao, even she herself was very excited right now.
"Mm, let's go!"
Saying that, the four of them took off running with smiles towards the front.
As for Zhang Qiang, after learning that they could all ride horses, he bid them farewell and went to attend to other matters.
Now, besides the four of them, there were only some guards not too far away.
Before Qiu Xi and the others came, they had also asked the guards to help take photos of them.
"Want to give it a go together?"
Qiu Xi's riding skills were first encountered during a previous island resort vacation. Although she had learned more in-depth after returning, her riding skills were no longer considered poor.
As for Song Daiyao and the other two, while they weren't proficient, this sport was something they had participated in from time to time before.
This was why Qiu Xi had voiced the idea just now.
Liang Yunfei nodded, "Sure~"
"But we can only do a slow trot. My skills don't support me galloping on horseback!"
"Me too!" Shen Yan chimed in.
"It's okay, we'll just trot slowly and experience it."
It wasn't a competitive sport, so there was no need for that.
"Alright, then let's go."
After the four of them finished speaking, without a sound, as soon as their hands and feet made a move, the horses started running.
The guard behind them followed suit, mounting a horse and trailing them at a distance, occasionally stopping to take photos of the four in front.
...
And this scene was precisely what Xi Qinqin, who was traveling nearby, happened to see.
Beautiful as a painting, her hand instinctively raised the camera, and the shutter clicked non-stop.
"Qinqin, why are you standing here still?" This was a young assistant brought along for field sketching during the trip.
"What are you taking pictures of that you're so engrossed?"
Saying that, she was about to come over to take a look.
Qinqin was a renowned photographer. If she could stop for so long, there must be something that had captivated her, making her unable to stop taking pictures.
"Just happened to encounter them..."
Seeing the person approaching, Xi Qinqin lowered her camera and pointed at Qiu Xi and the other three not far away.
"Oh my~ Four lovely young ladies!"
However, he was only surprised for a moment, "But you've seen them before, why are you still so captivated?"
What he said was not an exaggeration. There was no shortage of beautiful women seeking commissions from Qinqin on a daily basis!
Xi Qinqin rolled her eyes at Chen Shuo, "..."
This layman!
Having followed her for so long, he still didn't understand anything!
Beauty lies in the bone, not just the skin, let alone this scene which was anything but ordinary.
It was all about the artistic conception...
Besides, these four beauties were not ordinary beauties either, especially the one in front, who was exceptionally beautiful.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going over to chat."
She had impulsively taken photos just now and was reluctant to delete them, so she might as well go over and ask.
"..."
"No, I'm going too!"
Saying that, Chen Shuo, holding his belongings, ran after Xi Qinqin.
"Hello, how are you~"
Seeing the two people who suddenly greeted them from not far away, Qiu Xi and the other three were stunned.
"Are they greeting us?" Shen Yan was not sure.
"Looks like it..."
"Definitely!"
When they looked over, the other party was waving even more enthusiastically, and only then did Qiu Xi confirm.
"Let's go, let's go see."
"Mm."
Being in an unfamiliar place, it was unusual for someone to greet them so warmly out of the blue.
Thinking this, the four of them arrived in front of Xi Qinqin and the other person.
"Are you greeting us?" Song Daiyao said, gracefully dismounting from her horse.
Xi Qinqin nodded repeatedly, "Yes!"
"I'm a photographer, and I happened to see the four of you riding horses from over there..."
Xi Qinqin simply explained the situation and then showed them her camera.
"Wow~"
"You take such beautiful pictures!" Song Daiyao smiled brilliantly, her compliments pouring out as if they were free of charge.
Her fingers were still tapping on their camera, scrolling through the photos one by one.
Qiu Xi, Liang Yunfei, and Shen Yan also glanced at several photos, and they were indeed very good.
"You flatter us, it's because you four are such good models~"
"By the way, I came to ask if I can use these photos?"
"I want to update them and show them to my fans."
"Sure~"
The few of them had no objections.
"But you have to give us the return photos!"
"Our vacation photos will depend on you!"
Xi Qinqin nodded, "Don't worry, for the few days you are here, I will be your exclusive photographer!"
"Let's add each other as friends, and I'll follow you around for the next few days."
"I'll let you know if I post the photos."
"That's a great idea!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Daiyao added Xi Qinqin as a friend first, and then shared her contact information with the other three in the group.
"Let's create a group chat, and I'll send the photos there, and we can discuss them in the group~"
Xi Qinqin nodded, "Okay."
This way, it would save trouble!
"Are you guys going to continue? I can still take photos."
"Can we?"
"Of course~"
She was a professional!
She was always well-prepared when going out!
"Ah Shuo, you carry the stuff and follow along, we're going to take photos."
With the photographer being so enthusiastic, Qiu Xi and the others naturally had no objections.
This kid would be happy playing for a long time.
Without having to agonize over it, and ending up with no photos at all...
And after all, they were here to have fun, and sometimes when they were having a blast, they would genuinely forget about such things.
"Okay..."
Chen Shuo looked at the people he had only just chatted with, and in the next second, they immediately started "working."
Although he was still a bit bewildered, he was a dedicated assistant!
Thus, Qiu Xi's grassland horse riding trip became exceptionally satisfying due to the addition of Xi Qinqin and her companion.
...
"Are you guys coming out this afternoon?"
After a tour of the grassland, it was already close to noon.
Qiu Xi, who was resting, nodded, "We still need to come out."
"However, we plan to experience the local delicacies this afternoon, so we won't be going to the scenic spots."
Their plan for these few days was quite simple.
The first day was for horse riding and sightseeing, the second day was to see mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, and as for the third day, they only planned a short tour before heading back to Chongxi City.
"I see..."
"Can we join you then?"
Although her specialty was portrait and landscape photography, who said that delicacies weren't scenery?
Besides, there would be such good-looking companions!
"Of course you can!"
"Great~ Then it's settled!" Xi Qinqin nodded with a smile.
"By the way, where are you staying? I'm at Haitang Guesthouse, let's arrange a meeting place later."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xi Qinqin noticed the surprised expressions on the four of them.
"What's wrong?"
"Why are you suddenly so strange?"
"We have fate~"
Song Daiyao exclaimed loudly, "We are also staying at Haitang Guesthouse!"
"Really?!?!"
This time, it was Xi Qinqin's turn to look surprised.
Could this be... the marvelousness of fate?
After a while, the few of them continued to speak.
"Since that's the case, let's just meet outside the guesthouse!"
This saved them a lot of trouble!
"Mm!"
After discussing the afternoon's outing, the group prepared to head back.
"Let's go together, I've agreed with the proprietress to eat back there today."
Saying that, Xi Qinqin asked Chen Shuo to put away the camera and other items, and prepared to return with Qiu Xi and the others.
"Let's go."
After packing up, Qiu Xi also settled the fees with the guard.
With that said, the group of six headed back to the guesthouse.
