Chapter 728 - 580: The True Champion of Winning and Losing
Honestly, he had been an equestrian coach for quite a while and had taught many kids, but he had never seen a student as talented as Ning Youguang, who picked things up immediately.
Nor had he seen anyone as hardworking as Shi Wangyue, who, despite already learning very well, insisted on perfecting their skills even more.
So much so that he often felt that over the years, maybe his family’s ancestral tomb truly emitted blue smoke, allowing him to have two such easy-to-teach, talented, and hardworking apprentices.
— Though the talent and hard work refer to two people.
So, every time he taught them, he couldn’t stop grinning, making his colleagues, who were exhausted by the pampered young masters and misses around them, envy him with red eyes.
Moreover, it was because these two young apprentices hadn’t been in his class for long before they started dominating various equestrian competitions, sweeping championships and runners-up.
Taking advantage of this momentum, he became famous in the circle.
With big stacks of bills, rich men and women lined up to ask him to be their children’s coach, and his career peaked this way.
Actually, they weren’t so attention-seeking.
But Shi Wangyue, being a child who had the word "ambitious" engraved in his bones from a young age, had a bad habit.
Whenever encountering competitive activities, even if he joined with the intention of playing and relaxing at first, once getting involved, his adrenaline would surge, making him more eager to win as he got deeper into it, and it never failed.
For instance, joining equestrian classes initially because Shi Tongyang teased him saying—"You can’t even get on a horse."
But as he and Ning Youguang really began learning, and upon seeing her almost abnormal equestrian "talent", he became increasingly serious, ending up red-faced competing fiercely on the field.
He wanted to surpass Shi Tongyang, who teased him, to beat Xia Dai, who beat Shi Tongyang, and then other competitors on the field.
Ning Youguang had once teased him during every competition preparation, compulsively feeling he must bring home a championship trophy, calling him the "win-it-all championship personified."
The little future bigwig with a black sesame ambition definitely got into the habit of wanting to win once on the field.
But there’s one point she might have overlooked.
That is, he never thought about winning against her on the field.
In past competitions where they both were entered.
She could win, and he’d tell her, "Sister, do your best!"
She might lose, and he’d say, "Sister, keep it up, I’ll support you."
It’s genuine support.
Just like today, Ning Youguang was not unaware that Shi Wangyue intentionally let her win.
...
Clip-clop, clip-clop.
The approaching sound of hoofbeats pulled Ning Youguang back from her memories.
Shi Wangyue and Ze Wu rode up one after the other and stopped in front of her.
"Miss Ning, how was our competition?" Ze Wu said, looking spirited.
"Impressive." Ning Youguang gave him a big thumbs up, then extended her hand toward Shi Wangyue, who just got off the horse, "Take it slow."
Shi Wangyue looked at the hand reaching out to him and only tightly grasped it once he got off the horse.
Ning Youguang then reached to help him with his riding helmet and gently asked, "Are you hot?"
Shi Wangyue smiled faintly and shook his head slowly.
"Stop showing off your relationship," said Ze Wu, who had already dismounted, tossing the reins stylishly to a nearby staff member, "Take a look at how many singles we have here, it’s not easy finding time to take a vacation, have a heart!"
Shi Wangyue raised an eyebrow, "Sorry, didn’t notice you guys."
"..." Ze Wu gritted his teeth, "Let’s go, change and grab something to eat."
Spare him, God.
He really didn’t want to keep feeling envious.
Handing the riding helmet to a nearby staff member, Ze Wu strode off straight to the resting area.
Shi Wangyue chuckled lightly, putting an arm around Ning Youguang’s shoulder, "Let’s grab something to drink as well."
...
Someone messaged the small anonymous internal group "Starlight".
"Miss Ning was fully absorbed in taking photos, while Mr. Shi only had eyes for his wife with a smile."
"The boss is wearing matching outfits with his wife today!"
"Even though I’m a guy, I have to admit, the boss and Miss Ning, both in casual clothes holding a pumpkin, look too tender."
"You didn’t see it, but Mr. Shi was so attentive while Miss Ning was riding."
"During their competition, I bet the bigwig definitely let her win."
"Absolutely let her win!"
"Is it even a competition with the wife? It’s more like playing house, competing with Mr. Yun is the real deal!"
"Poor Mr. Yun for a second!"
"Poor Mr. Yun for a second +1!"
"Poor Mr. Yun for a second +2!"
"Poor Mr. Yun for a second +10086!"
"Not surprising, not surprising..."
The person who sent this message then threw a few photos into the group, showing Shi Wangyue helping Ning Youguang with her shoes, carrying them, assisting her through water, and cycling together on a country road—
Every single picture overflowed with Shi Wangyue’s tenderness.
The "Starlight" internal anonymous group just about exploded!
"Wah wah wah, is he still that cold-hearted capitalist?"
"The bigwig is really gentle in front of his wife~"
"Carrying shoes and such... I’m so envious."
"Some admire the aloof celestial beings above, but no one dislikes the down-to-earth guardian angels."
"Latest news: outside there’s talk of dancing, Mr. Yun wants Mr. Shi to dance!"
"???"
"Can I even witness this scene?"
"I bet 100 red packets, Mr. Yun can’t make Mr. Shi dance."
"I bet 200 red packets, Mr. Yun can’t make Mr. Shi dance."
How could serious and solemn Mr. Shi from the company dance out in the wild?
...
The bustling outdoor resting area of the equestrian field.
Sitting in a folding chair, Shi Wangyue slowly tightened the bottle cap and said to the inviting Ze Wu, "You guys dance, I won’t."
Ze Wu, gasping for breath: "Everyone is dancing, why aren’t you?"
He stood at the front of the crowd, surrounded by young men and women with beaming smiles.
He had just danced with the people playing nearby, and now, quite a few were still behind him waving their arms, all looking over the moon.
Ze Wu, with his handsome looks, like a born luminary, dashing and good-natured, enjoyed playing and could get on well with anyone anywhere light-heartedly.
But Shi Wangyue was evidently not, "You guys dance, I’ll sit beside here watching— we are a harmonious team-building group; If I join and dance, we’d look like escaped lunatics."
Ze Wu had yet to process this.
But Ning Youguang, sitting nearby sipping water, burst into laughter, "Pfft..."
