"It’s the legendary prairie horse, Snow Shadow!"
"Young Master Yuan has actually caught Snow Shadow!"
"With Snow Shadow, this year’s first place should be Young Master Yuan’s again."
Riding Snow Shadow, Yuan Yonghao entered the scene, capturing everyone’s attention. Even the Xiliang officials in the stands turned their heads, smiling as they congratulated General Yuan. Words like ’a tiger father begets no dog son’ echoed in General Yuan’s ears.
In the crowd, the moment Yuan Yonghao appeared, Xiao Keyan’s gaze followed him, watching as he overtook one rider after another. Her heart pounded, feeling more nervous than if she were competing herself.
Beside her, Dong Jingyi was also watching the most eye-catching figure on the field, with a bit of confusion on her face: "It seemed like what Young Master Yuan just said was directed towards our direction."
Saying this, she nudged Xiao Keyan with her elbow.
"Who do you think he was talking to?"
At this moment, she felt a little nervous herself. One couldn’t blame her for being narcissistic—after all, the Yuan Family had made a proposal to the Dong Family; maybe, just maybe, Yuan Yonghao caught Snow Shadow for her?
Not getting a response from Xiao Keyan, Dong Jingyi snapped out of her self-absorbed thoughts and turned to see Xiao Keyan staring unblinkingly at the racetrack, her hands clenched in fists, looking both expectant and nervous, as if she were silently cheering for someone.
Dong Jingyi paused and followed Xiao Keyan’s gaze back to the track. Unfortunately, with everyone jostling for position, she couldn’t discern whom Xiao Keyan was actually looking at.
"Keyan, who are you cheering for?"
Xiao Keyan didn’t respond.
Dong Jingyi called out two more times, but Xiao Keyan seemed to have blocked out the world and didn’t hear her at all.
Seeing this, Dong Jingyi looked perplexed, paused for a moment, and then waved her hand in front of Xiao Keyan’s face to finally draw her attention back.
"Keyan, who are you watching so intently? I’ve called you several times, and you didn’t respond."
Xiao Keyan’s expression stiffened, and she smiled awkwardly, mumbling, "I’m just watching casually."
Dong Jingyi didn’t believe her: "Casually watching, and you’re so absorbed?" Then, teasingly, she smiled, "Tell me, did you fancy some young lad? To be honest, quite a few of this year’s contestants look quite good."
