Chapter 725 - 577: Second Update
"Commander Yun!"
"Commander Shi is amazing!"
After that, praises poured in for the two of them like an endless stream of compliments.
Everyone knew the two of them just did it for fun, and nobody in the crowd took it seriously enough to declare a winner or loser.
Having fun together was what it was all about!
Ning Youguang stood outside the arena, smiling as she watched Shi Wangyue being swarmed and surrounded like the center of attention, shining like a star, the curve of her lips widening continuously.
But as she kept watching, her eyes unknowingly grew moist.
She thought of the past, recalling a similar scene. Except back then, the person being surrounded in the spotlight wasn’t him.
It was a chubby little boy with a stubborn prideful face—his cousin, Shi Tongyang.
Actually, Shi Wangyue wasn’t exactly lying to Ze Wu; he really didn’t know much about horseback riding.
It was just when he was a child.
This was also the reason why she, who had been good at horseback riding in her past life, still took horseback riding lessons with Little Wangyue in this life.
Ning Youguang deeply remembered it was when they were in elementary school.
Once, after school, she was going home with Shi Wangyue and happened to run into her cousins Daidai and Huihui at the entrance, who were being led by their aunts to participate in an equestrian competition.
Out of the blue, her aunt decided to take her along, thinking it might inspire her interest in horseback riding since she never went before, taking advantage of the absence of anyone at home to look after her. So she insisted on bringing her to watch Daidai and Huihui’s equestrian competition.
The Shi family kid, who was a few years old, was there too. Since they were taking their child away, the Xia family aunts didn’t mind spending a bit more to buy an extra ticket for him, warmly inviting him to join.
Coincidentally, around that time, Liu Susu was busy with something and didn’t seem to care about what Shi Wangyue was up to after school.
So Shi Wangyue followed Ning Youguang and joined the Xia family to watch Xia Dai and Xia Fei compete.
But what they didn’t expect was this.
When they reached the competition’s venue, they surprisingly saw Lin Huayin and Zhao Fei’er at the backstage, dressed glamorously in Chanel suits, carrying Hermès bags, and doting on Shi Tongyang.
Clothes make the man, and equipment makes the horse.
Shi Tongyang, who didn’t usually look particularly striking, appeared as handsome as a European little prince in his brand-new golden riding outfit.
No wonder his doting grandmother and mother cherished him so much.
Seeing this scene, Ning Youguang felt an instant sinking in her heart.
She didn’t care how Lin Huayin and Zhao Fei’er adored their son and grandson, nor how much Shi Tongyang resembled a European prince in his new riding outfit.
At that moment, she only cared that the child who was also Lin Huayin’s grandson behind her wouldn’t get hurt.
People aren’t afraid of having nothing, but fear those like them having, while they do not.
She swiftly turned her head to look behind her, and indeed—
The child in the simple "Qiushe Elementary School" uniform was lowering his head, rubbing his eyes.
His hands clenched, his mood appeared very low.
In that instant, Ning Youguang felt a flame ignite in her heart, calling for something to burn to extinguish it.
What should she burn?
Quickly, she knew.
"What are you doing here?"
Among the Shi family members present, nobody had sharper eyes than Shi Tongyang, quickly spotting the small and skinny Shi Wangyue following the Xia family despite being held by his grandmother and mother.
When he called out, Lin Huayin and Zhao Fei’er also looked over at the Xia family.
Ning Youguang astutely noticed that after Zhao Fei’er glanced at Shi Wangyue, she elegantly began to greet her aunt and second aunt.
But Lin Huayin, chin raised, only looked at her aunt and second aunt, ignoring Shi Wangyue behind them.
Ning Youguang clearly felt the flame within her grow larger, so large it refused to be contained, itching to burn out.
She didn’t hold back her temper and burst out.
Grabbing Shi Wangyue with one hand and Xia Dai with the other, she walked past the Shi family, pulling Xia Hui along—
"Huihui, Daidai, time’s running out. Let’s go change into your riding outfits. I can’t wait to see how you guys look in them. You’re so beautiful; in those outfits, you’ll surely be the brightest knight princess and little knight, handsome and brave!"
When entering earlier, Lin Huayin and Zhao Fei’er had praised their son and grandson just like this.
They said, "Our Yangyang looks so good in his riding outfit, better than anyone else."
Now Ning Youguang was proclaiming that Xia Hui and Xia Dai were the brightest knight princess and little knight, leaving no room for Shi Tongyang.
Moreover, Xia Hui and Xia Dai were better-looking than Shi Tongyang.
So, not only was Shi Tongyang unhappy hearing Ning Youguang’s words, even Lin Huayin and Zhao Fei’er felt embarrassed.
According to Xie Haitang’s recount during the return trip, after this remark by Ning Youguang, the expression on the Shi mother-in-law and daughter-in-law’s faces froze immediately.
Ning Youguang couldn’t care less about the faces of the Shi family.
After all, she was just a child with innocent words.
Subsequently, Shi Tongyang clashed with Xia Dai on the competition field.
Coincidentally, in this Chengdu youth equestrian competition, Shi Tongyang ended up in the same group as Xia Dai.
Since childhood, Xia Dai was simple-minded, but physically strong.
If it was about studying, he was the worst in the family.
But when it came to sports, he had every reason to be proud.
