Chapter 242

Xiao Bao'er was taking an afternoon nap, Xiao Qi went back. She struggled to pull Xiao Qi's hand for a long time because she held Xiao Qi's hand tightly when she was sleeping.

The world of little girls is so wonderful. They would suddenly be very nice and love some person, as if they were reluctant to leave even between life and death. But they also forget very quickly and probably won't remember for long.

Xiao Qi could not stay here for long.

This time, Xiao Yu finally seized the opportunity and took the initiative to send Xiao Qi back to school.

Xiao Shengzhou happened to be busy, so he let his young uncle send her.

The main reason was that his uncle had stepped on him six times. If he stepped on him again, his shoes would be scrapped.

When Guo Ying saw her silly son bring a little girl home, but he didn't even know to send her back and asked his uncle for help because he was busy...

She almost suffocated from anger.

After Xiao Bao'er woke up and found Xiao Qi had left, she cried loudly again.

Xiao Shengzhou took out his phone, opened Enhua's TikTok, and showed Xiao Qi to Xiao Bao'er. Only then did Xiao Bao'er slowly sob while watching Xiao Qi.

When Xiao's Mama and Xiao's Grandma saw the birthday girl crying, they were naturally busy, blaming Xiao Shengzhou for letting the child play with the phone while accompanying her to watch the phone.

Then they saw the little girl just now. Her English was so fluent, her writing was so neat, and her singing was so nice...

The more they looked, the more pleasing she was to the eye. Little girls nowadays are so amazing. Not only do they look pleasing to the eye, they are quite talented.

The more the two of them watched, the more satisfied they became.

When Guo Ying saw her old son wandering in the living room...

When Xiao's Grandma thought of her old son's taste finally becoming proper for once...

It was Xiao Qi's first time sitting in a convertible sports car. The sunshine in the afternoon was not glaring. The roar of the car did feel very exciting. But she also felt that it would spread some rumors again if her classmates saw Uncle Xiao sending her to the school gate.

Xiao Yu deliberately chose a two-seater sports car with intentions. If he chose a four-seater, Xiao Qi would definitely sit in the back. With two seats, she had no choice but to sit next to him no matter what.

Xiao Qi was still a little restrained when she got in the car and didn't know what to say. She carefully examined the car and found that many details of the sports car were different from other cars. Even the door handles were different. She couldn't recognize what brand it was either, just that it was a champagne colored car giving a dainty feeling.

Xiao Yu usually flirted with countless girls, but was at a loss for words sitting next to the little girl.

He strangely felt old.

"Shengzhou said you're learning horse riding. How's it going? Is the coach teaching well?"

"I just started learning. The coach teaches very well and is very strict." Xiao Qi thought the coach Steven taught very well and was diligent. There was also bilingual teaching in Chinese and English. He would speak a string of English and occasionally blurt out one or two Chinese words. It was evident the coach truly loved horses.

Besides her, the coach probably had the highest affinity with the horses in the riding school. Also, the coach hadn't been here long either.

His requirements for her were quite strict. He taught a lot of content, which made Xiao Qi clearly feel the difference between Coach Steven and other teachers. The teachers taught in a broad way, sharing knowledge. But Coach Steven gave Xiao Qi the feeling that she was like his closed-door disciple. He spoke very detailed, even reluctant to spill everything out. If he could impart his knowledge to Xiao Qi, she felt the coach would definitely give her a slap on the head.

She saw earlier this morning the coach was excitedly calling an old friend to send his family belongings over. Many of those things seemed to be what the coach wanted to give to her.

In short, the coach was extremely good but the pressure was also quite big.

"Steven won many awards when he was young. You should learn well if you like horse riding." Xiao Yu spoke and felt like he was the elder.

Sure enough, he heard the little girl say, "Thank you Uncle Xiao. The coach said it was you who specially invited him from overseas."

Xiao Yu: ...

Could we change how we address each other?

But he was also afraid of scaring the little girl. Uncle will do, better than nothing.

"Are you going home for the National Day?"

"No, I probably won't go home. I signed up for a marathon horse race to participate." Xiao Qi was originally going to run and then go home. But her parents thought it was a waste of money and told Xiao Qi not to go back.

Now Su Youfu and Sheng Juan were wholeheartedly making money, trying to save up four years of tuition fees for their daughter. They were very motivated and hardworking. They were very frugal with money themselves basically without spending anything. They grew their own grains and vegetables at home. If they wanted meat, the village would slaughter pigs once every ten days or half a month, or they would buy from vendors of nearby villages.

Considering their daughter had just left for school not long ago, and the high-speed train tickets were not cheap, they simply told her not to come back.

Xiao Qi thought the driving school seemed to have no break during the National Holiday. She could go practice driving more. Also, Coach Steven in the riding school didn't seem to have any intention of rest either, always arranging courses for her every day. Anyway, it was better for the young to learn more.

Upon hearing horse marathon, Xiao Yu... None of his previous girlfriends would go run a horse marathon. She really was...

The routine of young girls was always caught off guard. There was always a feeling of being flashed.

Xiao Yu kept looking for topics to chat with Xiao Qi, while Xiao Qi was holding tight to her seat belt.

She simply didn't feel safe sitting in the sports car, especially around bends. But unexpectedly Uncle Xiao was talkative, still finding things to say when he had nothing to say, very distracted while driving. Xiao Qi's back was erect the whole time.

Finally, they were close to the school. Xiao Qi quickly said, "Uncle Xiao, you can drop me off here. I want to walk a bit."

Xiao Yu: ??How unpresentable am I??

Xiao Qi could only explain, "It would be too high-profile at the school gate and easily cause misunderstandings."

The rejected Xiao Yu could only stop the car gentlemanly and then turned around. Seeing the little girl get off, he breathed a sigh of relief. She walked away happily...

Of his previous girlfriends, which one didn't hope he would directly send her upstairs.

The little girl actually wanted to avoid suspicion.

However, at least he got the little girl's WeChat.

Xiao Yu said he was worried Xiao Bao'er would wake up crying and added her WeChat to check on Xiao Bao'er.

Xiao Qi didn't figure out the logic behind it either, but somehow she added him on WeChat.

After getting off and walking for a bit, she felt much more comfortable.

Xiao Qi felt their auras didn't match. She also wasn't used to being alone with uncle-aged men like Xiao Yu.

Back at her dorm, Xiao Qi went running.

Although it was Xiao Bao'er's birthday, facing the whole family still put quite some pressure on her. Although Xiao Qi had made psychological preparation not to be nervous or afraid, and behaved generously, the difference between her original family and this one was just too huge. That environment was literally an eye-opener for her. Xiao Qi still felt uneasy.

Indeed, people like playing with little kids and animals probably because there's no need to consider too much. The adult world was far more complicated.

But there was still progress. At first when she went to tutor at Ms. Liang's home, it was just a family slightly better off. The floor was shiny and the ceiling was nice. Now when she thought back, it was just an ordinary house decorated a little better. Yet she was so nervous that her hands and feet turned numb, restrained and not knowing where to put herself.

But now she had gone to Xiao Bao'er's home with its gardened villa, and she was actually able to calmly eat a meal without the initial restraint and tension. That was tremendous progress!

People were also very social animals, constantly needing to interact with different people. Just like Uncle Xiao who sent her back was a completely different world of people.

While jogging, Xiao Qi's thoughts wandered and she randomly pondered. She felt her performance over the weekend was basically still good without being too bad. But overall, she was still restrained. Also, such activities didn't really suit her. She should try to participate less in the future and focus more on studying to improve herself, which was the main path.

When studying, she felt the world was in her grasp. Without studying, she felt the world still held her in its grasp.
