Translator: 549690339
The horn sounded, and the competitors rode their beloved horses down the track, acknowledging the audience.
As Ming Jing appeared, wearing a red riding outfit and riding a white horse, the audience burst into excitement.
On the big screen, a close-up of Ming Jing showed her wearing a helmet, her beautiful, pitch-black eyes gazing ahead. Gone was her usual gentleness, replaced with a determined spirit, like a young plant sprouting tenaciously from a rocky crevice, always reaching for the sun and never admitting defeat.
This expression, paired with her stunning face that held a hint of innocence, left people irresistibly captivated.
âMing Jing... Ming Jing...â The audience began to spontaneously chant her name, one shout overlapping the other, like a huge wave engulfing everything in its path.
Some horses began to nervously paw at the ground, but Violent Wind alone remained calm, radiating the poise and confidence of a true king.
Ming Jing closed her eyes, inhaled deeply, ignoring the thousands of people around her as the wind blew past her ears, and her memory took her back fifteen years.
The scene was identical, except that it took place abroad, and she had taken the money to race for someone else. In the end, she had won that competition, and the entire stadium had gone wild for her.
Ming Jing looked up at the sky.
Thin clouds obscured the blazing sun as birds soared against the horizon, transforming into black silhouettes fading into the skyâs edge.
She had once thought that in her next life, she would like to be a bird. Though ordinary, it enjoyed a freedom she could never attain in this lifetime.
Later she realized that it wasnât a cage that confined her, but her heart.
If the heart was free, even if trapped, it could still find peace.
Qingqing, you and I will eventually gain our freedom and soar together across heaven and earth.
Zheng Qing huffed, âWhat am I supposed to say to you? Youâre not even famous, yet you still go around picking fights and causing trouble. If you ever get popular, this will all be a stain on your reputation. Do you still want to make it in this industry? And why did you have to hit them in the face? Donât you know how important a male actorâs face is? If it happens again, just leave, I won- I wonât take care of you anymore.â
In front of her computerâwhere a video of the horse race playedâZheng Qing happened to glance at the screen but suddenly froze in place.
She knit her brows, her eyes locked on the computer monitor, her frown deepening.
âA Yu ...â
Xu Yan, who had been looking down and accepting his scolding, looked up when he heard his murmurs and glanced at the man opposite him.
Who was A Yu?
He had heard about Ming Jing participating in the race, and knowing that Zheng Qing had a complicated relationship, it wasnât surprising that he was paying attention to the horserace. But why call her A Yu?
Aunt Hong didnât know that at the moment she spoke that name, the man on the other side of the phone gently curled the corner of his lip, his eyes brimming with infinite tenderness, no longer the decisive, cold-blooded Night Hawk.
âWho assigned the task?â
Aunt Hong immediately replied, âIt was Zou Dawei.â
âEighteen wonât die. Thereâs no need to deal with this matter anymore.â He hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.
Aunt Hong was utterly puzzled. What did the boss mean? Why wouldnât Eighteen die?
The man stroked the screen with his fingertips, whispering, âA Yu, I will never let you get hurt in this life.â
Gunshots pierced through the air, and a thousand horses galloped, creating an overwhelming force. The audience felt the ground trembling as if it was an earthquake. Some couldnât take it and gasped for breath, clutching their chests.
That was thrilling.
Zhao Qin looked at Eighteen, who was in the lead, and raised an eyebrow, âShe seems to have changed suddenly.â
In the past, she was subtle and gentle, like a spring breeze bringing rain, moistening things silently.
After the gunshot, she became like a sharp, unparalleled sword, awe-inspiring and revealing her edges.
The contrast was so great that if they hadnât seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought someone had swapped her out.
Ran Tengxiao narrowed his eyes, his fingers stroking the jade thumb ring. His gaze was fixed on Eighteen in the field.
âThis is her true self, a sharp treasure sword. Even influenced by the Buddhaâs teachings, she canât change the fierceness in her bones.â
âIt seems like my cousin knows her well.â
Ran Tengxiao hooked his lips confidently, âBecause we are the same kind of people.â
Zhao Qin sighed, âThen people like you canât attract each other.â
Ran Tengxiao neither agreed nor disagreed.
Ming Jing single-handedly demonstrated an unstoppable momentum, leaving those who initially underestimated her in disbelief. As Ma Xiao was about to catch up, the crowd couldnât help but shout, the stands filled with cheers and waves of encouragement, one wave higher than the last.
Charles Gao couldnât help but stand up, âMing Jing, come on.â
Jiang Jinchenâs fists clenched on his knees, as his gaze remained fixed on a single point in the field.
âItâs too hot-blooded.â Wen Yaru and Song Yinzhang couldnât help but feel their blood boil as well.
Qu Feitaiâs lips curled up, his smile confident and flamboyant. She was the champion, without a doubt.
