"These are fountain pens I brought from Shanghai. I didn't know what you all liked, so I picked a gift that wouldn't go wrong." Xu Zhaoyue handed the same box to the three people behind her.
When Xu Zhaoyue passed by the store, it was almost closing time. When she went in to ask, there were only five left, so she bought five. "Luckily, the store still had five left, so we each had one."
“We have plenty of these things, we don’t need you to send them.” Qin Jixiang tossed the box aside. “Yeah, I don’t like writing either, brother, you can have it.” Uncle Qin handed it to Qin Jizhong.
"Huh? Why are you all like this? I didn't give you anything bad. Is this how you react when you receive a gift from someone's hometown?" Xu Zhaoyue wasn't going to tolerate them.
"Sister Jixiang, is this how your uncle taught you?" Xu Zhaoyue stood up, took the box back, and then took another box from Qin Jizhong's arms. "You don't want it, so I'm taking it back. You don't appreciate kindness, humph."
"You!" Qin Jixiang tried to speak, but Xu Zhaoyue was right behind her. Seeing her movement, she immediately pressed her down. "What do you mean, 'you'? You rude person."
Xu Zhaoyue looked down at the four of them. For some reason, she, who should have been afraid, felt no tension at all. Perhaps she had forgotten her past experiences, or perhaps she was simply not close to them.
"Is there anything else you need from me?" Xu Zhaoyue placed the two boxes in Cuicui's hands, then sat down again, this time in a more casual manner.
Qin Jixiang and the other three were momentarily dazed, because it really looked like her. Xu Zhaoyue looked just like her father when he was lecturing them, but it was only for a moment.
"What do you mean? Do you know who you are?" Qin Jixiang became agitated, unable to tolerate that she had just felt awe.
Xu Zhaoyue looked at her as she stood up. Although she was looking up at her, her demeanor was not at all like someone in a subordinate position. "If you're so angry, don't come here to spoil my fun. Do you need to ask me what my identity is? Didn't you ask before you came?"
Qin Jixiang was almost speechless. She had never seen anything like this when she was with her girlfriends. Everyone fawned over her.
"Although I have amnesia, I have a vague feeling that I can ride horses. Since you guys came to ask me to go to the horse farm, why don't we have a race?"
Xu Zhaoyue looked at Qin Jixiang with a calm and collected expression. Actually, she quite liked Qin Jixiang and found her current flustered state rather cute.
"A competition?" Qin Jixiang looked Xu Zhaoyue up and down. Her purpose in coming today was to take Xu Zhaoyue to the horse farm to give her a hard time, but she didn't expect Xu Zhaoyue to bring it up on her own initiative.
“Yes, we’ll have a match.” Xu Zhaoyue nodded nonchalantly. “But we can set off quickly, it looks like it’s going to rain outside.”
Xu Zhaoyue pointed to the sky outside, where the overcast atmosphere grew heavier.
Qin Jixiang glanced back and said, "Okay, let's go now." The two of them made the decision, while Qin Jiming, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded. His sister hadn't mentioned this when she called him over.
Qin Jizhong and Qin Jishu both had an "I knew it" expression on their faces, but they exchanged a glance and followed behind without saying a word.
Upon arrival, Xu Zhaoyue changed into riding attire, while the others went to choose their horses. "What are you two doing here?" Qin Jixiang asked, looking at the two people riding horses in front of them.
Kim Bok-won and Kim Bok-joo were also curious as to why the four of them came out together, since they usually didn't get along.
"Since Fu Bao is at school, let's go out and have some fun. How about we have a game later?" Jin Fuyuan said.
"No, I want to compete with someone else first." Qin Jixiang didn't agree, but the expression on her face told Jin Fuyuan that the person she was talking about was no ordinary person.
Jin Fuzhu didn't think too much about it and asked directly, "Who is it? Don't you look down on everyone? Is there someone who would make you wait?" She knew that Qin Jixiang was definitely not comparable to his three younger brothers next to him. Who could make Qin Jixiang wait?
Qin Jixiang was about to speak when she paused, unsure whether to tell them Qin Jijin's true identity. Just as she hesitated, Jin Fuzhu pointed behind her and said, "Isn't it her? She's so beautiful, are you jealous?"
"Who are you calling a liar..." Qin Jixiang was angered by Jin Fuzhu's mouth more than once. If she had a whip in her hand, she would have already lashed out.
"Sister Jixiang, are they your friends?" Xu Zhaoyue knew nothing about it yet. When she walked over, the two people sitting on the horse were smiling at her.
Qin Jixiang looked back and saw that it was indeed beautiful, but it didn't look like a member of the Qin family. "Heh, no, hurry up and pick a horse, then go home after the competition."
"Oh, alright, I'm Qin Jijin. I just arrived in Beijing from Shanghai. Please take care of me in the future." Xu Zhaoyue introduced herself in a good-natured manner.
“My name is Jin Fuzhu, and this is my older sister Jin Fuyuan. You two are going to have a competition, so why don’t you count me in?” Jin Fuzhu was very outgoing. She even dismounted and walked up to Xu Zhaoyue. “I’ll help you pick out a more docile one.”
Xu Zhaoyue did not refuse her, "Okay, but it depends on Sister Jixiang. I also need to run around and take a look first, since I've never been here before."
"Let's compete together, but don't go back and complain if you lose." Qin Jixiang agreed, not thinking that having Jin Fuzhu join would change the outcome of the competition.
After choosing her horse, Xu Zhaoyue went for a run, with two equestrians following her and telling her what to pay attention to.
Qin Jixiang could tell that she really didn't know anything about this place, and wondered what gave her the courage to agree to the competition. The two members of the Jin family and the four members of the Qin family sat there waiting.
