It's not too late to meet in the book

On a sunny weekend, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan each celebrated their own small achievements in their interest classes. Lei Xiaoyue danced gracefully in the ballet studio, while Lin Yuxuan rode a horse at the riding stable. Their progress was reflected not only in improved skills but also in inner growth and confidence.

In the classroom, soft light streamed across the polished wooden floor, illuminating Lei Xiaoyue's focused and determined figure. Clad in a pink tutu and pristine white slippers, she looked like a young swan about to take flight. Ballet teacher Li stood nearby, observing each student's movements with a gentle and professional gaze.

"Students, today we will review the 'spin' and 'jump' movements we learned last week." Teacher Li's words were gentle and powerful. Her words seemed to have magic that could instantly focus the students' attention.

Lei Xiaoyue took a deep breath, adjusted her posture, and prepared for the challenge. Recalling every detail Teacher Li had explained, she gently raised her arms to maintain her balance. As the music began, she began to slowly spin, her body as light as a feather, tracing a graceful arc through the air.

"Very good, Xiaoyue, your rotation is becoming more and more standard!" Teacher Li encouraged from the side, her face filled with a gratified smile.

Hearing the teacher's praise, Lei Xiaoyue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She knew her hard work had paid off. When she first started ballet, she felt frustrated by her lack of flexibility and coordination. But over time, she gradually found her rhythm, and every practice brought her one step closer to her dream.

"Next, let's do some jumping practice." Teacher Li's words interrupted Lei Xiaoyue's thoughts. She quickly adjusted her state and prepared to face new challenges.

The jump was a significant challenge for Lei Xiaoyue, but she didn't back down. She took a deep breath, pushed off the ground, and, as if lifted by an invisible force, she traced a graceful parabola through the air. Although she stumbled a little upon landing, her eyes were filled with determination and courage.

"Good, Xiaoyue, you've made great progress!" Teacher Li walked over to Lei Xiaoyue and gently patted her shoulder. Her words were like a warm current, warming Lei Xiaoyue's heart.

"Thank you, teacher. I will continue to work hard!" Lei Xiaoyue responded with a smile, her eyes flashing with longing and confidence for the future.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the city, Lin Yuxuan was slowly riding his horse through the stables. He was dressed in professional riding gear and a stylish equestrian cap, his face brimming with excitement and curiosity. Beside him stood Coach Wang, an experienced riding instructor, who expertly observed Lin Yuxuan's every move.

"Yuxuan, today we are going to practice the technique of riding a horse slowly." Coach Wang's words were steady and powerful. His words seemed to have magic power, which could calm Lin Yuxuan down instantly.

Lin Yuxuan nodded, took a deep breath, and adjusted his posture. He gripped the reins tightly with both hands, leaning forward slightly to maintain close contact with the horse's back. At Coach Wang's command, he gently patted the horse's back, and the horse slowly began to stride.

At first, Lin Yuxuan was a little nervous, afraid he'd fall off the horse. But as time went on, he gradually found his rapport with the horse. He gently adjusted the strength and direction of the reins, guiding the horse forward as he wished.

"Very good, Yuxuan, you have made great progress!" Coach Wang encouraged from the side, his face filled with a gratified smile.

Hearing his coach's praise, Lin Yuxuan felt a surge of pride. He knew his hard work had paid off. When he first started riding, he was afraid and unfamiliar with the sport, which led to repeated setbacks. But over time, he gradually overcame his fear, and each practice session gave him more confidence.

"Coach, I think I can try to make the horse go faster!" Lin Yuxuan shouted excitedly, with challenge and courage flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, Yuxuan, but you must remember to stay calm and focused at all times." Coach Wang's words were full of reminders and encouragement.

Lin Yuxuan nodded, took a deep breath, and adjusted his posture again. He patted the horse's back gently, and the horse seemed to sense his determination and courage and began to quicken its pace.

"Great, Yuxuan, you did a great job!" Coach Wang applauded from the side, his words full of praise and encouragement.

As the sun set, Lei Xiaoyue and Lin Yuxuan finished their day in the ballet studio and at the riding stables, respectively, returning home with a wealth of accomplishments and joy.

"Mom, I learned a lot of new moves in ballet class today, and the teacher praised me!" Lei Xiaoyue shouted excitedly as she entered the door, her face filled with pride and joy.

"Really? Xiaoyue, you're awesome!" Mom responded with a smile, her eyes sparkling with relief and pride.

Meanwhile, Lin Yuxuan was also sharing his joy with his father at home: "Dad, I rode a horse for a long time today, and the coach said I did very well!"

"Son, you are so awesome! Dad is proud of you!" Dad patted Lin Yuxuan on the shoulder and said, his eyes full of admiration and encouragement.
