The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 202, Teasing_1

Dong Yuanyao already knew how to ride a horse. After choosing a good name for the horse, she vaulted onto its back with ease. With a flick of the riding crop, she was off, cantering around the corral.

Although not as fast as Xiao Yeyang and the others, her skilled horsemanship still stunned both Daohua and Zhou Jingwan.

“Jingwan, we need to hurry up and learn too,” Daohua said to Zhou Jingwan, then turned her gaze to the date-red horse as if she was getting ready to mount.

“I’ll help you on!” Xiao Yeyang suddenly spoke up and walked toward Daohua.

Daohua decisively refused, “No need, you should go race with my fourth brother. Brother Xiaoliu is here, he’ll teach me.”

Half-grown boys love to show off and can be unreliable. She certainly didn’t want to entrust her safety to their hands.

Xiao Yeyang glanced at Xiaoliu and didn’t say more, but left with a warning, “Be careful helping her. If anything happens to Daohua, you’ll answer for it.”

Xiaoliu hung his head low and hurriedly replied, “I will take good care of the young lady.”

Daohua urged, “Go on with your business, I’m about to start learning how to ride.”

Only after Xiao Yeyang left did Xiaoliu dare to lift his head.

Seeing him drenched in sweat, Daohua was startled, “Brother Xiaoliu, what’s wrong with you?”

Xiaoliu glanced at the departing Xiao Yeyang and said with a sour face, “The Little Prince is too scary.”

Daohua: “… He was just saying that offhand, look at him, he’s usually quite pleasant to be around.”

Xiaoliu cast a sidelong glance at Daohua and silently grumbled in his heart.

Where is he pleasant to be around?

The Little Prince is only somewhat more amiable in front of the young lady. At other times, even when joking with the fourth master, he maintains his stature, making others dare not overstep.

“Young lady, let me teach you how to mount and dismount first!”

“Sure, but you need to hold the reins tightly, so the horse doesn’t suddenly take off.”

“Don’t worry, I’ve got it. This horse is docile, it won’t run unless it’s frightened.”

“I’m just afraid I might unintentionally scare the horse with clumsy movements…”

Daohua was brave at heart, and being accustomed to practicing with a whip, she was flexible and strong. Under Xiaoliu’s step-by-step guidance, she quickly got the hang of riding.

Soon enough, she could mount and dismount with ease and even began to slowly walk the horse around.

Of course, that still required someone leading, as she was worried the horse might become uncontrollable otherwise.

“Brother Xiaoliu, when can I start riding like Miss Dong?”

Xiaoliu said with a smile, “Young lady, you handle the whip well. Actually, as long as you dare, you can start running now. But since this is your first time on a horse and you’re not familiar with this one, it’s best to get to know Red Date a little longer before running.”

Daohua nodded, no longer fixated on whether to run or not, and rode up to Zhou Jingwan, who lay motionless on her horse’s back, and smiled, “Why aren’t you moving?”

Zhou Jingwan sounded a bit feeble, “I always thought riding a horse was glorious and dashing, but now that I’m learning, I find it somewhat frightening.”

At that moment, Yan Wenkai rode over, “Who made you think of running before you even knew how to walk!”

Zhou Jingwan had felt that walking the horse around was dull and had asked a servant to lead the horse into a run. During that, she had inadvertently flicked the riding crop, startling the horse.

The horse bolted forward for a stretch before the servant managed to forcefully rein it in.

So, Zhou Jingwan was a bit scared by the incident.

After understanding what happened, Daohua said, “We’re just starting to learn to ride, so don’t be impatient, all right? Also, when you use the riding crop, try not to use too much force. We’re riding young horses; they’re still small, and if you hurt them, you’ll startle them. Come on, let’s ride slowly together.”

Zhou Jingwan waved her off, “You go ahead. I need to take a moment to calm down.” The fright from the horse had scared her as well.

Seeing her like this, Daohua didn’t insist and continued to ride her horse slowly around the corral.

Suddenly, a hawk flew overhead.

Daohua quickly turned her head and saw the hawk flying down to land on Xiao Yeyang’s arm.

Xiao Yeyang: “… You’ve read quite a lot of those storybooks.” _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
