How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Chapter 189

Xia Tian immediately noticed the boy across from him and saw him looking at him and Xia Chu in shock. He tilted his head and asked, "Do you know this guy?"

Xia Chu looked over and nodded, "I know him, Mr. You. He was the one who invited me to the horse race. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have known there was such a lucrative competition."

"Oh?" Xia Tian narrowed his eyes and looked at You Shaofeng unkindly, "Then you have to thank him."

"Thank you." Xia Chu waved towards You Shaofeng, "Mr. You, are you here for horse training too?"

You Shaofeng's youthful feelings were shattered by the intimacy between the two. He said in a daze, "Yes, who is this?"

"It's my eldest brother, Xia Tian." Xia Chu happily introduced him to them, "Brother, this is Master You Shaofeng, the son of my mother's good friend."

Xia Tian hummed and said to You Shaofeng, "Mr. You, nice to meet you."

When You Shaofeng heard the word "big brother", his previous depression was swept away and he walked over enthusiastically, "So it's you, big brother, nice to meet you."

"Big brother?" Xia Tian almost couldn't control his expression. Another guy coveted his sister. "I don't deserve it."

You Shaofeng realized that he had said the wrong thing, scratched his head, and quickly changed his words and saluted, "Hello, Brother Wang."

Xia Tian glanced at him, returned the greeting and said nothing.

"Let's go." Xia Chu noticed that his elder brother was a little unhappy and didn't seem to like You Shaofeng very much, but he didn't know why. But that didn't matter. "Brother, let's go practice riding."

"Yeah." Xia Tian let his sister pull him along. He glimpsed You Shaofeng following him from the corner of his eye and chuckled. Thinking that his immediate superior had the same idea, he couldn't help but compare the two and found that there was no comparison at all.

"Miss Wang, let me join you. It's a good opportunity for me to practice." You Shaofeng didn't notice that Xia Tian didn't like him. He was sad and happy just now, and after relaxing, he remembered the purpose of his coming here.

"Okay." Xia Chu responded indifferently.

Feeling safe with his older brother around, Xia Chu trained even harder than usual. The horse raced as fast as a shadow, circling the arena again and again.

Xia Tian just wanted to pull this little girl over and teach her a lesson, so he followed closely behind without daring to relax for a moment.

Xia Chu slowed down when she was tired. Just as she was about to turn around and talk to her big brother, she was slapped lightly on the back of her head. It didn't hurt much, but she was a little confused. "Big brother?"

"Do you practice like this every day?" Xia Tian had followed him all the way with trepidation, and now he breathed a sigh of relief. If he hadn't considered the presence of outsiders, he would have pulled the girl off the horse long ago.

"No, I don't dare to ride so fast on weekdays." Xia Chu answered honestly.

From her tone, she seemed to have some regrets. Xia Tian dismounted and led her horse to the side. "Should I praise you for not being too crazy? No one in Huizhou can control you?"

Xia Chu realized that she might have scared her elder brother just now, so she immediately got off the horse obediently, lowered her head and looked like she knew she was wrong.

It was the same trick again. Xia Tian was helpless. "Take a break."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, big brother." Xia Chu smiled ingratiatingly.

When the staff at the stable saw the two men stop, they immediately approached to ask if they wanted to rest. After confirming, they took their horses away, and someone else led them to a wooden house nearby to rest and drink tea.

It was the first time You Shaofeng had seen a girl ride so fast, and he was shocked again. He couldn't ride as fast as the two of them, and couldn't keep up. He waited until they rested before dismounting and coming over. "Miss Wang, you rode so fast just now. If nothing unexpected happens, you should be able to win a place."

Xia Tian gave him a cold look. He actually dared to bring up this matter. What do you mean by "no accidents, hoping for others to have accidents"?

You Shaofeng felt a chill on his back, met Xia Tian's gaze, and gave a simple smile. "Brother Wang."

Xia Tian turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to him.

"Good luck." Xia Chu wasn't overly confident. After all, there are always better people than you. She knew she couldn't compete with those who had been riding since childhood, so she'd put in some last-minute, high-intensity training. But she felt it was showing some results, so she felt like she was ready to give it a try.

Xia Chu only practiced for the whole morning that day, and planned to have a good rest in the afternoon and evening to stay in the best condition for tomorrow's competition.

Xia Tian agreed with her plan and declined her invitation, saying that he wanted to go back and have a good rest.

Xia Chu didn't want to force it, but she was reluctant to part with her eldest brother. Before leaving in the morning, she said she would be back in the afternoon. When she arrived at the Jia family, she asked the doorman to go to Qingwu Courtyard to tell them, and then she followed Xia Tian.

Zhang Zhou was happy not to compete tomorrow, so he stayed home, drinking tea and reading. Unexpectedly, at lunchtime, he saw his sister and brother return together. He quickly stood up, a knowing smile on his face. "Brother is indeed capable of getting her to leave the racecourse early."

"Don't underestimate yourself, second brother. If you call me, I will definitely come back." Xia Chu glanced at the food on the table and estimated that it was not enough for the three of them. "Shall we go out to eat? My eldest brother and I haven't eaten yet."

"Let's go." Zhang Zhou had just started eating when he readily agreed.

The three siblings hadn't been together for a long time, but there was no sense of unfamiliarity between them. They chatted about their recent situation, mainly asking about how the summer was going in the military camp.

"It's pretty good. They're all straightforward and don't beat around the bush. They just say what they want to say." Xia Tian has indeed adapted well. "With Hua Zhang taking care of me, I haven't suffered any hardship."

Hearing Zhao Huazhang's name, Xia Chu subconsciously touched the jade pendant on her waist. She smiled and said, "This is the advantage of having acquaintances."

"Yeah," Xia Tian chuckled, "After all, we've known each other since we were kids, and he even put a hole in my sister's head."

When talking about this, the three of them laughed.

"Who would have thought we were all beggars when we were little?" Xia Tian thought back to that time, as if it were a lifetime ago. Since arriving at the Wang family, he's had loving parents, harmonious brothers, and a smooth life. Sometimes he feels like his childhood was just a nightmare, and when he wakes up, everything will be fine.

"Yeah, who would have thought." Who would have thought that the now glamorous me once wanted to jump into the river to commit suicide for a few hundred coins?

"Why are you talking about that?" Xia Chu interrupted their thoughts, "Brother, can you give me a drink? I want to taste whether this wine is spicy or not."

"Girl, why drink wine?" Xia Tian said this, but still poured her two sips. "That's all."

"Stingy," Xia Chu muttered, taking a small sip. Hiss, spicy. She stuck out her tongue and stuffed a mouthful of the bamboo shoots into her mouth.

The two brothers laughed heartily and each took a sip of wine. Xia Tian poured a bowl of soup and handed it to them. "Is it delicious?"

Xia Chu stiffened his neck, his mouth still hard, "It tastes good."

Zhang Zhou shook his head and laughed, and Xia Tian was helpless.
