Riding a horse on such a grassland is different from Inner Mongolia.

This is also why the experience of trotting on the grasslands of Western Sichuan is much better than galloping; the fundamental reason is that there’s too little flat land for the horse to run, not to mention that the Western Sichuan grasslands are full of marshy wetlands.

On the vast grasslands of Hulun Bei’er, there really is that immense sense of openness.

Li Younan was driving, unable to stop thinking about the scene of riding a horse across them.

Previously, he had tried horse riding in Western Sichuan and felt it wasn’t quite enough, but it was unexpected how quickly he got to experience it again.

While driving, Huang Xiaoyang, sitting in the back seat, began explaining the essentials of horse riding to Dan Dan.

With great seriousness, Huang Xiaoyang told Dan Dan to overcome her fear, how to exert force when mounting, and that she should sit up straight once on the horse, and so on.

Li Younan listened while driving, and his expression became somewhat strange.

It wasn’t that Huang Xiaoyang’s theories were incorrect; in fact, the tips were largely like that... but does he even know?

Li Younan turned his head and asked, "Do you know how to ride a horse?"

Huang Xiaoyang calmly said, "No, I don’t."

Li Younan blinked.

Dan Dan, who had been listening intently just then, was also momentarily stunned.

Huang Xiaoyang touched his nose and said, "There are many guides and tutorials online, so I did some homework in advance."

Then he seriously told Li Younan, "You should experience it too. I learn these things quickly. Our schedule for the next few days includes more than just today’s horse riding, so you also need to practice well."

Li Younan didn’t say anything for a moment.

Huang Xiaoyang turned to Dan Dan and said, "You too. You don’t necessarily need to get final photos today; a wedding dress photo on horseback is a must, but it’s best if you can freely control the horse, so the photos will turn out well."

Dan Dan gave a sweet smile, "Got it."

...

Traveling in Inner Mongolia, having too many days isn’t necessarily a good thing.

It’s similar to seaside travel. For those who have never seen grasslands, upon first arriving in Hulun Bei’er, especially with elements like a long river sunset added, they will exclaim, "Wow, the grassland."

On the second day, you are still exclaiming, "Wow, the grassland."

But by the third day, it is likely to become, "Wow, the grassland again..."

People do experience aesthetic fatigue.

However, today is still the first day here, so this sense of fatigue hasn’t appeared yet.

The car drove for a while and reached the Prairie of the World scenic area.

At the edge of the view, the grassland’s horizon clearly connects with the sky.

Several light clouds floated in the sky, giving a sense of height and distance.

Li Younan went to park the car while Dan Dan and Huang Xiaoyang had already changed into outfits that looked like cowboy attire.

Cowhide cowboy hats, worn-out jeans, leather jackets, and riding boots, all looked very textured.

Dan Dan couldn’t help but laugh at Huang Xiaoyang’s appearance, "I’ve never seen you dress like this, it’s quite handsome."

Huang Xiaoyang nodded. He always accepted compliments like "You’re very handsome" or "You look good" directly, without feeling embarrassed or any other emotional fluctuation.

For Huang Xiaoyang, comments like "You’re very handsome" were no different from "You’re a man," just simple statements.

The two watched as the car drove towards the parking lot, Dan Dan glanced over, seemingly in thought.

On the way here, Li Younan drove, took photos, helped pick out wedding attire for photoshoots, everything came naturally.

While Huang Xiaoyang calmly accepted Li Younan’s help.

Because Dan Dan understood Huang Xiaoyang, she knew it wasn’t easy. Huang Xiaoyang had strong boundaries with most people, or put differently, Dan Dan knew that outwardly Huang Xiaoyang was easygoing and polite to many people, but internally, he was extremely proud, and most ordinary people were beneath his notice.

Curiously, Dan Dan asked, "What kind of person is your friend Li Younan?"

Huang Xiaoyang was silent for a moment and then said, "A person who can put my mind at ease."

Dan Dan smiled silently, "What kind of comment is that?"

Huang Xiaoyang thought for a moment and said, "In my criteria for friendship, I’m rather harsh on the same gender. I naturally want to be the best at many things, to be honest, it’s somewhat obsessive."

"After entering society, many people approached me with various intentions, trying to be friends. I could sense all of this. Some had impure motives, while others simply did not share my perspective, so they were not within my circle of friends."

"Li Younan is different."

"The first time we encountered each other was on the basketball court. His physical fitness was somewhat extraordinary; he blocked my shots three times, blocking me three times in a row. For the rest of the game, I kept going against him and felt that I had the upper hand in the end."

"Afterwards, I was sure that he must have been playing against me also, but he had no intention of speaking to me."

Dan Dan laughed, "With your personality, you certainly wouldn’t speak to him first, right?"

Huang Xiaoyang nodded, not denying, "I just found it interesting. That guy was quite proud. But later, about a week later, during another basketball game, we ended up on the same team. I caught one of his passes and shot a super-long three-pointer, and that was when he officially spoke to me for the first time. What he said was..."
