Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2442 Outstanding People

Xia Chen had no interest in the pony that Jin Jing mentioned. He even felt that Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao looked down on him. He thought that he had been at sea for so many years and his horse riding skills must not be very good.

But they forgot that when he came to Jiaping Pass, he rode a horse by himself. Although his riding skills were not very good, it was good enough. Even though he had been traveling for several days, his lower back was in pain and his thighs were rubbed raw. He walked like a cripple for a long time. If he hadn't applied the medicine given by Jin Miaomiao, he would not have recovered so quickly.

Now that his injury had healed, he felt that he was totally fine, so he was very disdainful of what Jin Jing, Jin Miaomiao, and Xue Ruitian said, and secretly vowed to teach these guys who looked down on him a lesson during the horse race.

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha shook their heads helplessly after hearing what they said. Xia Chen's riding skills were not very good, but not so bad that he had to ride a pony. Those ponies were for children. Even if he fell off the horse, it would not matter. It would not be like riding a normal breed of horse, even a pony, where he would most likely get injured.

The two men looked at each other, then turned around to look at Xia Chen's expression. Seeing that he was secretly competing with them, they couldn't help but smile. If this guy got into a fight, it would probably take a while.

However, no one expected that when they arrived at the stable and saw those cute and charming ponies, Xia Chen completely forgot the oath he had just made. He instantly abandoned his lofty words of riding a tall horse and competing with others. He hugged one of the ponies, which was covered with white fur, had a pair of small eyes that rolled around, and looked particularly smart and clingy, and refused to let go.

"Aiya, baby, why are you so cute? Why are you so beautiful? Why are you so well-behaved? You are the best baby!" Xia Chen stroked the pony's head and praised it with all the best words, rubbing against it from time to time, "Baby, the more I look at you, the more beautiful you are. You are the most beautiful pony. No other pony can compare to you, you know? Brother is going out to play in a while. Do you have anything to do? Otherwise, go out for a walk with brother, okay?"

"I don't know who was so unhappy just now. When he heard about the pony, his face fell all of a sudden." Jin Jing said to Jin Miaomiao in a "low" voice, "But when he saw the real pony, he just held it tightly and didn't even look at other horses." As he spoke, he looked at Xue Ruitian, "I don't need to choose at all. He has chosen it himself."

Xue Ruitian didn't say anything, but his expression was somewhat meaningful.

"What's wrong?" Jin Jing keenly felt that the expressions of these people seemed to be wrong. He looked at this one and then that one, "What's the problem with the horse?"

"There's nothing wrong with the horse, it's just a little too coincidental, right?" Shen Cha exchanged glances with Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian. "What do you think, is this also a kind of fate?"

"Of course it is. If this isn't fate, then what is?" Xue Ruitian sighed softly and looked at Xia Chen who was being affectionate with Xiao Ma. "For him, this is also another kind of recovery."

"That's right. Look how happy he is. He is exactly the same as when he was a kid." Shen Haolin smiled. "Back then he cried so hard that he was out of breath and fainted several times."

"Yeah!" Xue Ruitian nodded, "Even after he got a new pony, he didn't invest too much emotion in it."

"Wait, wait!" Jin Jing and Jin Miaomiao, who was also confused, interrupted them, "Then what are you talking about? I don't understand it at all." "Yeah, yeah!" Jin Miaomiao agreed, "It feels like it's related to Master Qi's childhood."

"When he was a child, he had a pony that was almost identical to this little white horse, with the same fur color, face, eyes, and even the tuft of hair on the top of its head. The pony was a birthday gift from his father, and he loved it very much. The pony also loved it very much, and the man and the horse wanted to stick together all the time." Xue Ruitian sighed, "This horse is named Baixue because its fur is very white, as white as snow. Lao Qi invested a lot of emotions in this horse, and the man and the horse spent three wonderful years together."

"Three years?" Jin Jing was stunned. "Why? What happened to Xiao Ma?"

"It was sick, very sick. We invited the most famous and experienced horse doctor in Xijing City, but there was nothing we could do. We could only watch Bai Xue leave in pain." Xue Ruitian sighed, "Old Seven took care of it all the time, and accompanied it until the last moment of its life. Bai Xue was gone, and Old Seven didn't recover for a long time, probably more than a month. Later, I don't know how he figured it out. He burned all of Bai Xue's things and never mentioned Bai Xue again. He didn't invest more emotion in other things." He raised his chin towards Xia Chen, who was still hugging the pony's neck and rubbing against it, "We haven't seen him like this for many years."

"Maybe Bai Xue really is in heaven and has returned to Qi Ye's side." Jin Miaomiao sighed, "Isn't this good? The regrets of his youth have finally been made up, and he has found his favorite Bai Xue, right?"

"That should be the case." Xue Ruitian nodded. "Wait a minute, when he's over his excitement, he'll ask us for the pony."

Sure enough, after Xia Chen had rubbed the pony contentedly, he brought the pony over.

He originally wanted to let the pony stay in the stable, but the pony held the hem of his clothes on the back and refused to let go. He had no choice but to lead the pony and bring it in front of everyone.

"Want it?" Seeing Xia Chen looking at the pony tenderly, Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows slightly, "I want to remind you, this is not Snow White, the breed is different, don't get the wrong idea."

"I know that Snow White is gone, and this is not Snow White, but..." Xia Chen sighed softly, "I feel that it is predestined for me, so."

"As long as you're not infatuated with someone else, it'll be fine." Xue Ruitian crossed his arms. "Take it out to play today and get along well with it. If the two of you can still get along as harmoniously as you do now after a day together, it means that it has recognized you and is willing to follow you. You can take it away. However, before taking it away, we need to ask Qi Bo to check it out to make sure it is completely healthy."

"Of course there is no problem with that." Xia Chen gently touched the pony's head and smiled at it, "I believe that the two of us will get along very well."
