"You always loved riding the pirate ship. You humans are so hypocritical, always hiding your true feelings." Zun Zun took a bite and said, "Mommy, Sheng Sheng has been unhappy lately, really. Sheng Sheng and I have a telepathic connection. He just won’t tell why he’s unhappy. Surely it’s because he doesn’t like practicing calligraphy, but Daddy insists that we practice."
"Sheng Sheng, is that true?" Chenxing asked with concern.
Sitting on Gu Shaocheng’s lap, Sheng Sheng shook his head, "No, Mommy, don’t listen to Zun Zun’s nonsense. I like Daddy teaching calligraphy."
His calligraphy has gotten quite stylistic now, like a little calligrapher.
Besides, practicing calligraphy is really a way to cultivate oneself. Daddy said that as boys, we must cultivate ourselves from a young age to be able to manage the household and govern the country in the future.
Sheng Sheng has a big heart! How could he not know that Dad does everything for his best interest?
Gu Shaocheng hid a fleeting sadness in his eyes and said, "Let’s eat quickly. After dinner, our family will go to the amusent park together."
Zun Zun: "Can we invite Brother Wubai?"
"Just the four of us, as a family."
Zun Zun pursed his lips in disappointnt and continued eating.
...
"Miss Qianxi, you’re here."
Gu Qianqian, dressed in her riding outfit, raised a whip and asked, "Where’s my brother?"
"Sir should be in the grove up ahead."
Gu Qianqian nodded, galloped off on her horse with great flair, and found Gu Shaocheng just as he was riding back. They t face to face, and Gu Qianqian pulled on the reins, "Brother, you were looking for ?"
Gu Shaocheng quickly turned around, glanced approvingly at Gu Qianqian in her outfit, and said, "Ride a few laps with ."
"Then let’s race," Gu Qianqian suggested.
Gu Shaocheng nodded, "Okay. I heard you’re quite skilled?"
"Not just good, but very good! Dad taught horsemanship himself," Gu Qianqian said with imnse pride.
Although Dad wasn’t really fond of Mom or particularly attentive to her, he never short-changed her either and taught her many things during leisure ti. Horsemanship was one thing he taught her personally. Back then, when she was just a little girl, she often sat on Dad’s steed, riding alongside him.
Feeling sentintal, Gu Qianqian cracked the whip and shouted, "Giddy-up!"
Gu Shaocheng deliberately let her lead, "Giddy-up!"
Unexpectedly, Gu Qianqian’s riding skills were indeed not an exaggeration.
"Giddy-up!"
"Giddy-up!"
"Giddy-up!"
...
"I lost!" Gu Shaocheng leaped off his horse.
Following suit, Gu Qianqian jumped off her horse and tidied her hair, smugly holding the reins, "Is there a prize for winning? I forgot to ask earlier. Such a loss. Brother, you were looking for , is there sothing you need?"
"As for a prize, it depends on what you want."
Gu Qianqian laughed heartily, "I haven’t decided yet. When I do, I’ll collect it from you."
Gu Shaocheng shook the whip in his hand, "I won’t renege on my promise."
The two walked their horses leisurely on the grass while chatting and laughing. Gu Shaocheng patted Gu Qianqian’s back, "Qianqian, I heard you’re getting close to a man nad Chao Lu recently. Are you in a relationship again?"
Gu Qianqian was slightly taken aback and, with a bit of girlish shyness, replied, "No, he’s just a long-ti friend. We’ve reconnected, so we’re a bit closer."
"You’re not that young anymore. Don’t you plan to settle your heart?"
