Uma Musume, Master of Love

Huiyi cautiously opened the door, only to be met with a shocking scene: the petite Da Zhenhan was being held and kneaded by Xiufa Feng. The joy on her aunt's face was unlike anything a normal female horse could show. Huiyi had never even seen such an expression on the face of a female horse that had won G1. The once formidable Da Zhenhan was now like a soft little bread being kneaded back and forth, unable to resist in the slightest.

"Mom, Huiyi is going to see this! He's right behind the door, why did you design the guest room door like this?!" Da Zhenhan was so shocked that he couldn't open his eyes because of the hair-blowing movements that he didn't notice Huiyi standing at the door looking like he was watching a horror movie.

Xiu Fafeng beamed with joy, then casually tossed the shocking news out of his arms, smoothed out the wrinkles in Fuping's clothes, and greeted Huiyi: "Little Huiyi, come and sit down. I've often heard Deep mention you, seeing is believing!"

"Auntie...hello?" Huiyi felt that this was not quite the Xiufa Feng she had imagined. She had always thought that Da Zhenhan, who was so perfectionistic, must have come from a strict and meticulous family. But now it seemed that Da Zhenhan was the most normal person in the family.

Huiyi felt she wasn't good at dealing with this aunt who seemed to be mentally still in school at Tresson, but then again, perhaps the aunt really was a Tresson graduate...

The outsiders in the room were utterly shocked.

After dinner, Huiyi was completely dazed. She had thought that Japanese parents would put less effort into the meeting, but the reality was that the hair-grooming incident taught her a lesson.

Throughout dinner, the malicious topics kept coming up non-stop. In the end, it was only after Da Zhenhan intervened and silenced Xiu Fasheng that Huiyi was able to leave. Otherwise, Huiyi felt that Xiu Fasheng would have kept her chatting until late at night. Didn't these adults need to sleep?!

Why does it have more energy than a young racehorse girl?

"Deep, are all the people in your family so unique? And where is your uncle?" Huiyi's mind was still buzzing. She was sitting on the steps at the top of the stairs trying to clear her mind, but the sound of Xiufa asking about the great shock of the east, west, south, and north kept echoing in her ears, and she couldn't calm down.

Da Zhenzhen dragged two high-backed chairs out of the room and replied, "Dad has been ordered by the doctor to go to the sanatorium for recuperation. He probably won't be able to come home from the sanatorium for another two weeks. Mom has been handling the company affairs during this time. As for why Mom still seems to have a lot of free time... I don't know."

The two sat together, looking at the wall opposite the stairs.

Why are you sitting here?

She didn't know about the big shock, but she felt that Huiyi had his own ideas.

Huiyi was lost in thought at this moment. If you could look at her from the front, you would see that her pupils were now dilated.

"Huiyi?"

Half an hour later, Da Zhen could no longer bear the eerie silence and asked in a low voice, but received no response. Helpless, she had no choice but to continue sitting there with her, and another hour passed.

“Huiyi…”

There was still no sound. Da Zhenzhen felt that the trauma her mother had left on her might be too great, and it would probably take her two days to recover.

"Miss..."

Suddenly a voice came from behind. Greatly shocked, he turned around and saw a horse maid carrying a tray with a teapot and teacups on it, which looked like it was going to be taken away for washing.

"You and Miss are sitting at the top of the stairs, blocking the way down..." the maid said cautiously. She had initially thought that something was wrong with the two of them sitting there motionless, like they had both suddenly died, and she was about to call the madam directly. But it turned out they were just sitting there watching the stairs...

What kind of strange fetish is this? The young lady never did this before... or is it the new lady...?

"Oh, sorry." Da Zhenhan moved the chair away and sighed as she looked at Huiyi, who was still in a daze. It seemed that she wouldn't be leaving tonight. After all, similar things had happened in the dormitory before, and she had sat on the bed in a daze all night.

After the maid left downstairs, Da Zhenzhen tried again to wake the absent-minded Huiyi, but to no avail. He could only return to his room by himself. After all, it was late, and he had read online that waking someone in this state could easily turn them into a fool...

So for now, this is the only way. After all, Huiyi will go back to his room on his own, right?

The reason for Da Shen's inaction was not because she couldn't carry Huiyi... but because she was afraid Huiyi would become stupid.

It's definitely not because someone ate so much recently that it broke the scale.

———— Yi Qi Liu Yi Chan Jiu

As night deepened, the maids all finished their shift and returned to their rooms to rest, and the motion-activated lights in the hallway finally went out at their scheduled time...

The lights came on again. Having recovered from her disoriented, wandering state, Huiyi couldn't possibly settle down for a good night's sleep in this unfamiliar environment. Of course, it was also because she was currently a bit too excited; while she was wandering, she had fantasized about beating up all the other racehorse girls on the Arc de Triomphe…

"Ugh, this place is really a den of dragons and tigers..." Huiyi tiptoed back to her room. She neatly placed the chair at the top of the stairs against the wall. Now she wanted to go out for some fresh air. Anyway, she couldn't sleep at night and had already cleared her daily mobile game activities. She couldn't possibly spend the whole night chatting with silly netizens. Huiyi just couldn't do that.

Because at night, it's the time when those idiots are all in a state of emo, complaining about how ugly they are and can't find a partner, and then one day they post photos of themselves, each one more handsome than the last, and one of them is even a member of a popular Japanese boy band.

Thankfully, the group consists of close friends who have known each other for a long time; otherwise, it would be quite shocking that such a popular male star would like to do abstract art outside of work...

Squatting on the windowsill, Huiyi gestured the distance slightly. Since it was just right, what were they waiting for?

With a slight push of her legs, she leaped over the wall and landed steadily on the lawn outside. It was impossible to tell if it had been mowed; if it had, she could only silently apologize to the maids who had been helping her...

The area around the villa of the Great Shocker was not far from being deserted. On the contrary, the area not far away was quite lively. Huiyi ran for a few minutes and arrived at a pedestrian street that could barely be called a night market. There weren't many people, but at least the number of shops open was acceptable.

"How about some oden for a late-night snack?"

If you're craving something good to eat late at night but can't decide, this is the perfect choice. Plus, it's pretty cheap, and you can just mix and match whatever you like.

Following the smell, Huiyi arrived at an oden shop that was still open. As soon as he pushed open the door, he smelled a rich aroma of kelp and bonito flakes that had been simmering for a long time. With the addition of fish tofu and other ingredients, just smelling it made his mouth water.

But surprisingly, there were other horse girls out foraging for food late at night like her. They had pretty chestnut hair, but the fact that they stayed at the counter without moving made Huiyi quite curious.

First, she casually grabbed a few skewers of fish tofu and vegetable rolls and put them in the pot on her seat. When she wanted to add some potatoes, she looked curiously at the chestnut-haired horse girl. She noticed that the horse was constantly rummaging through her pockets. Was she out for a late-night snack without cash?

Well, since we've met, it must be fate. Anyway, a meal doesn't cost much, so she took the initiative to come over and ask, "Didn't you bring any cash?"

"Huh? It seems...it seems like..."

Both sides felt the voices were somewhat familiar, but neither thought much of it at first. The boss obviously didn't care much about the competition, but he was familiar with Huiyi's face since his fame spread. He was overjoyed to see a big star come to his store to buy food. If someone casually mentioned that his food was delicious, wouldn't that be free publicity?

"I'll pay for you." Huiyi smiled slightly and decisively took out his student card and swiped it on the store's POS machine. This payment method is quite convenient, and Treson's student card is not easy to lose.

"Thank you... Huiyi?!"

The chestnut-haired horse girl turned her head and saw a horse girl she thought she would never see here again. She thought she could relax for a few days after going home! Why did she have to run into her here?!

"Admire Japan?"

Huiyi was also dumbfounded. What was Shang Dongying doing here? Could it be that she knew he and Da Zhenhan had gone home and was following him?

"I... I live nearby... I was a little hungry tonight so I came out. What are you doing here..." Shang Dongying stammered as she put her hood back on. She felt a little inferior because she had run into Huiyi in this situation, especially since they seemed to know each other well in front of the shop owner.

When did I start feeling inferior when I was with celebrity horse racers? I'm not sure, but it must have been after my performance in the derby.

There's another reason, actually. Shang Dongying didn't want her friends to know that her family was actually quite poor. It's not for any particular reason, but maybe it's just the pride of a teenage girl at play.

Huiyi waved, gesturing for Shang Dongying to sit with him. Thinking of the message she sent, Huiyi felt that since they had met now... it must be the Three Goddesses' instruction. Since it happened, there must be a reason for it.

Huiyi genuinely wanted to have a chat with Shang Dongying this time...

The topic of running.

This chestnut-haired girl needs someone to confide in, and perhaps... she herself is the best choice?

Huiyi picked up a skewer of fish tofu, held it to her lips, and took a small bite. She looked at Shang Dongying with a smile. She had to let Shang Dongying speak first, and besides, she couldn't stay silent for too long.

Chapter 263 If ​​you don't reconcile with yourself, you'll never have another chance.

"Wouldn't it be very irresponsible of me to leave the competition without authorization like this?"

Leaving the competition and considering retirement, what she cares about least about Dongying is her own future. No matter what, there is always a way out. She feels that for the fans who have never won since the Yayoi Sho, it is a blatant escape and quite cowardly.

Huiyi didn't answer immediately. Instead, after swallowing the food in his mouth, he asked in return, "So what do you think? Rather than continuing to suffer setbacks on the field and chasing that sliver of hope that is so faint for you, would you rather let go of this obsession and live your own life well?"

"After all, if you really want to pursue victory, you probably wouldn't choose the Japan Cup (Erli 1 Shan 0 Junyang) as your first choice. Instead, you should choose G2 or G3 races such as the Argentine Republic Cup or the Keiosaka Cup. After all, she is a racehorse girl who pushed the Great Shock to the brink of defeat. She can definitely do well in a slightly lower-tier prize, right?"

Huiyi rested her chin on her hand, and even while talking and eating, it didn't affect her dignified air. In fact, Shang Dongying agreed with what Huiyi said. When did she become a racehorse girl who pursued higher honors and victory...?

Shang Dongying's pupils became somewhat unfocused as she pondered deeply. She had promised her parents before enrolling in school that she would participate in competitions to earn more money, hadn't she? In the end, she had only... become a foil for others. But at least Shang Dongying had become a "green leaf" in the story!

It stands out against the backdrop of the great shock, this red flower.

It's important to know that not every racehorse girl is qualified to be a supporting role; at least so far, the generally accepted supporting role is that of Yoko Oni.

This is probably something every racehorse girl who encounters a series of setbacks on the track has to go through, but it is rare to see a racehorse girl's extraordinary and perfect performance, like that of Shin Toyo, still being overtaken by a genius. It must be a blow to the racehorse girl's mentality.

“After the Yayoi Sho, I feel like I’ve changed. I only wanted to win against the Great Shock, but in the end, I lost miserably.” Sho Toei gripped the brim of her hood, pulling it down, not wanting to relive the feeling of being dominated on the field…

Huiyi reached out and patted Shang Dongying heavily on the shoulder: "To know when you changed, and to be able to act with a clear conscience after the change, that's what makes a qualified horse girl, and someone who has done right by their fans. Understand that the starting point for all your thinking is based on yourself. Even if you haven't won since Yayoi Sho, haven't you still given your fans a wonderful performance?"

Shang Dongying is a bit stubborn, which is why Huiyi said a few more words; otherwise, she might have really been stuck here for a very long time.

"Hmm...Is my conscience clear...?" Shang Dongying murmured, a glimmer of light finally appearing in her eyes. Perhaps she could still do something truly inspiring. She still had a chance to show her fans. No matter what, she had to be in top form for the Japan Cup...!

"I think I understand. Thank you, Huiyi. I will do my best in the Japan Cup, and at least make sure my last race... leaves no regrets!" Shang Dongying knew that her chances of winning were very small. Not to mention those powerful foreign racehorse girls who came to Japan for the competition, she didn't even have the confidence to beat Zhenxin Qun.

But what about that profit?

This time, I just want to enjoy myself to the fullest, to race one last time on the track, and to leave the name of Japan in the minds of spectators all over the world with an unparalleled chestnut-colored wind!

"Excuse me for asking, what did you say to Shang Dongying just now? I've seen her in that state for a long time, but I didn't expect you to bring her back to her senses with just a few words." At this moment, only Huiyi and the owner were left in the shop. Judging from their appearance, the owner must be someone who knows Shang Dongying very well: "This child has loved coming to my shop to eat oden since she was little."

It's clear that the boss just doesn't pay attention to the Shining Series, and Shang Dongying didn't reveal much about being a racehorse girl back home. Otherwise, how could the boss not know that Shang Dongying is actually a top-prize racehorse girl?

Huiyi shrugged: "It was just some motivational talk, but I didn't expect that something I thought was useless before would be so effective now. In any case, she will participate in the Japan Cup with a level of enthusiasm that is almost impossible to see again in the future."

Huiyi didn't want to care what would happen next; that was the path that Chestnut Girl had to walk herself. Maybe she would get an advertising endorsement right after the Japan Cup? She could make a fortune right away.

After paying, Huiyi returned to the villa and once again used his traditional skill of climbing over the wall to get back to his room. He lay down wearily on the soft Simmons mattress, which was far superior to the dormitory room, and smacked his lips.

Yes, it all smelled like the spicy dipping sauce for oden, but she didn't want to get out of bed to wash up right now.

"Then let's start a tense and exciting Star Party! If I don't sleep, I won't have a strange taste in my mouth in the morning!" Huiyi took out her computer, lay almost flat on the bed, and propped the laptop up against her chest. However, she felt that the computer's base was not as stable as before.

"...Well, it's passable and playable."

The notebook on the small hill on my chest was wobbling a bit, and the mouse could no longer be moved like before...!

Computer, start up!

Group chat, start!

【Radiant White Horse】: All members Star Party 1=3, come quick! It's rare for the streamer to be online!

【Pure White Like Ice】: FW streamer, you're defending the Super Balloon, go play by yourself!

Wait a minute, wasn't Zhou Ri Ning Jing's ID "Nian Gao Si Bing" last time? How come she changed it to this ID again? Could she really have been dumped by Megumi McQueen? Hahahaha!

[What's the purpose of that damn solar energy country bumpkin coming to Earth?]: FW anchor, in this crisis, don't you think about protecting Super Earth?! Drag him out and shoot him!

[Haji's light energy came to Haji's Earth and got beaten up, right?]: Haji's broadcaster seems to be out of touch with the news, so we have to strike hard!

Huiyi was stunned. What field had these bastards switched to while she was preparing for the Autumn Flower Appreciation Competition? And if a third person could come up with something like this, it would be useless to hire any experts at home. They should just be buried as soon as possible!

【Radiant White Horse】: What the heck? It's normal that your streamer is out of touch with the news after winning three championships. Having a super popular horse racing girl like me to play games with you is a super cost-effective deal, okay?

【The Cosmic Country Bumpkin Has Come to Earth to Beg】: Is that the super annoying horse racing girl? Every time we play a game, she's a master of TK, constantly sniping at us. I don't think she's a skill streamer, but a tactical streamer. I reckon if a streamer were to fill in the gaps, the officers fighting on the front lines would have to eat their fill of 500.

[The fourth leader will definitely capture the Lightbringers and put them in... **mouth and teeth!]: Eagle 500 is too merciful. The streamer will probably stand in the middle of us with Hellfire on his back and shout "boom!"

[That stinky out-of-towner came all the way to Shanghai in a flying saucer]: I suspect the anchor is a traitor among the Lightbringers.

Huiyi felt like he was falling behind the times, and these idiots had been chatting for ages without even explaining what game they were playing! Damn it, riddle-solving people deserve to die!!!

【Radiant White Horse】: Riddler, get out of here. You look down on the streamer's PVP ability, don't you?

[Let the Lightbringers answer the question about making the best Hell Soldier!]: Hell Soldier is a PVE game. If the streamer completes the PVP, then everyone in that team will have to hire Hagi Bugs.

Huiyi pondered, then gave up thinking. This thing could be used to get revenge on Zhou Ri Ningjing, right? After all, she seemed like a die-hard fan.

Alright, Steam launched, searching for Hellstalkers!

Of course, jumping into a deep pit is not a good thing for Huiyi either...

Dong dong dong

At noon, Da Zhenhan knocked on Huiyi's door. She had been in her room for so long without making a sound, which made Da Zhenhan very worried. She was originally planning to make some cake in the kitchen, but Xiufa, who had been absent from work and left at home, rushed upstairs to call Huiyi down, saying that her family was going out to eat at a restaurant for lunch today.

From Huiyi's perspective, Da Zhenhan wanted to persuade her mother not to go to those Western restaurants, but Xiufa Feng felt that since they had come to her home, she had to show her style and directly rejected Da Zhenhan's suggestion.

On the way upstairs, Da Sha was sighing, not because of how much the meal cost, but because he felt sorry for Huiyi's unsatisfied meal. This kind of restaurant wasn't designed to fill you up with just a few dishes...

But why has there been no news for so long? Could something have happened to Huiyi again?

After knocking several more times without getting a response, Da Zhenzhen simply contacted the lifestyle blogger and got the room key. After opening the door, he heard a familiar voice.

"Hey! Bing-jie, eat 500KG of mine! I've tried so hard, how are you still alive!" Huiyi, who was typing away on the keyboard and was clearly in the state of a true internet addict, had become a qualified TK recruit after half a night of being bombarded by veterans.

"..."

"..."

With a polite and refined demeanor, she gently closed the door: "Miss, it seems you are currently engrossed in your work."

"Ah...yes...that's right, I'll leave her a message...we'll go downstairs first." Da Zhenhan left a message for Huiyi on the horse-drawn cart, saying they would go out together at noon. He returned to the living room and reported the matter to Xiu Fasheng. Unexpectedly, the other party was quite surprised.

"Working at such a young age? That's amazing! She has to compete and complete her work targets in her spare time. Huiyi is such a wonderful girl! Dazhen, why can't you work harder? Her family is Sega, right? She's smart and hardworking!" Well, it seems that Mom really likes Huiyi. She's praising her and praising her for all the wrong reasons. Dazhen understands what Xiufafeng means and can only sit quietly to the side and let Xiufafeng, who is obsessed with Huiyi, vent his emotions.

Da Zhenhan said he's used to it. When Xiufashengfeng meets a child he likes, he puts pressure on Da Zhenhan, but in most cases, they don't like each other. So no matter how outstanding the other child is, Xiufashengfeng will say that he is not as good as Da Zhenhan.

In the most extreme cases, Xiufa would directly use his family's wealth to speak, since it was a fact that his own family was the most developed and no relative could refute it.

Besides, all the other kids her age have grown up now, so she's really impressed with her own development. She's the second undefeated triple crown female horse since the new racing rules were implemented, and the best one around except for the Emperor! She's already more than happy for the rest of her life.

"Mom... have some water..." Da Zhenhan grabbed his hair, clearly Huiyi was the most pleasing girl Xiufafeng had ever seen since Da Zhenhan's birth. Her face was undeniably beautiful, and she had the rare white hair that was quite rare among horse girls. She was the same age as Da Zhenhan, and even surpassed him in the Shining Series...

Xiufa was very curious about how her daughter had managed to win over such a perfect girl and have such a good relationship with her. Did her ancestors pull some kind of magic from below?

"Alright, I won't say anything more. Just don't mistreat the girl; it's a blessing for our family to have her with you!" With that, Xiu Fafeng went back to her room to prepare her clothes for lunch. Since she was going to a Western restaurant, she naturally wanted to look her best.
