Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 135 The End
Thanks to the tacit understanding between the siblings, Minglan had always followed Sheng Changquan at a distance that was neither too close nor too far. At this moment, when she saw him win back the polo ball and pass it over, Minglan was naturally overjoyed!
"it is good!"

"Brother! Well done!"

Minglan shouted excitedly from behind, her face beaming with surprise!
Seeing that a golden opportunity had arrived, Minglan naturally dared not waste it. She immediately took the polo ball passed to her by Sheng Changquan, controlled the ball, turned around, and prepared to shoot.

"Dang~"

The officiant on the sidelines, watching the half-burnt incense stick about to go out, struck the gong in his hand again to remind the teams in the arena.

Minglan, who was running back, really didn't expect that Sheng Changquan had actually taken the polo ball back from Gu Tingye. There was not much time left in the game, and she happened to have the ball in her hands, giving her a chance to shoot. If she missed this time, it would truly be an injustice!

"Damn it! That idiot Gu Tingye, how could he let them steal the ball?"

Yu Yanhong rode her horse and hovered near her own goal not far away, watching Minglan get the ball and run back. She was so angry that her eyes were bloodshot and her face turned red!

"And he even calls himself a playboy and an invincible general on the court!"

"It's all show and no substance, a complete idiot!"

Although there is still some time, Yu Yanhong already knows the outcome of this match.

really.

"Whoosh!"

Minglan raised her polo mallet, and the round polo ball glided smoothly and obediently into the goal, which was no bigger than an ordinary person's washbasin.

"Dang~"

The judge concluded definitively, "The match is over, Team White wins!"

"Great! The girl won!" Xiao Tao jumped up suddenly.

"Yes! Both the young lady and the young master have won!"

Danju, standing next to her, happily took Xiaotao's hand, her face beaming with joy.

"So that means Miss Yanran's hairpin can be retrieved?"

Xiao Tao finally said the words that Yanran had been longing to hear.

"Minglan, thank you!"

With red eyes, Yanran sincerely recited in her heart.

……

"Hehe, Uncle Gu, I'm really sorry!"

Seeing that the battle was over, Sheng Changquan became much more relaxed. He quickly moved closer to Gu Tingye and began to defend himself: "Just now, it was because you played polo so well that I had no choice but to resort to this trick."

"Please, Uncle Gu, be magnanimous and don't hold it against me!"

Sheng Changquan kept a very low profile, seemingly lacking the ambition one would expect at his age.

In fact, even if Sheng Changquan hadn't made such a move, Gu Tingye wouldn't have done anything to him. After all, putting everything else aside, based on his relationship with Sheng Changbai alone, he certainly wouldn't make things difficult for his younger siblings.

However, Sheng Changquan still chose to do so, in order to eliminate any possible "discomfort" in Gu Tingye's heart, so that Gu Tingye would not make things difficult for him in the future if he had any unpleasant feelings.

As adults, when there are no vested interests involved, we should prioritize harmony.

But this time Sheng Changquan was wrong; Gu Tingye really wasn't angry at all.

"Little Changquan, oh Little Changquan!"

"I've only lost two games in the first half of my life!"

Gu Tingye leaned back on the horse and sighed, "And in these two competitions, we were defeated by you two siblings."

"Do you think I'm incompatible with you and your brother?"

"what?"

Gu Tingye deliberately asked in return.

"This……"

Sheng Changquan scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

"Ha ha……"

After glancing at the embarrassed Sheng Changquan across from him, Gu Tingye turned to look at Minglan, Yanran, and the others in the distance, and a genuine smile appeared on his face.

"Hehe, Uncle Gu, my sister has said it before, you are a good person."

Sheng Changquan thought for a moment, then shamelessly changed the subject and flattered her, saying, "My sister even said that you are our benefactor!"

"Back then, if you hadn't helped my mother find a doctor on the street, I might not have grown up yet!"

Although Sheng Changquan was already born before the doctor arrived, he still felt indebted to Gu Tingye, considering him his benefactor. "Sigh!"

Upon hearing Sheng Changquan mention this, Gu Tingye's smile faded, and he sighed, "It's just a pity, your little mother..."

At this moment, he also recalled what happened back then.

Meanwhile, Gu Tingye, preoccupied with his recent troubles, recalled his own mother, and for a moment, the atmosphere between the two became somewhat silent.

for a long time.

"Brother!"

After retrieving the hairpin for Yanran, Minglan returned to Sheng Changquan's side once again.

She looked at Gu Tingye across from her and said shyly, "Second Uncle Gu!"

"Ah."

At this moment, Gu Tingye also composed himself, looked at Minglan, and smiled, "How is it?"

"I've been defeated by you again this time!"

Minglan knew that Gu Tingye's use of "again" referred to the incident of the betrothal of the wild geese and the pitch-pot game years ago. So, she smiled slightly and said gently, "Second Uncle Gu, I know that we won this time entirely because you let us win."

Minglan was unaware that the Pitch-Pot game back then was also a result of Gu Tingye letting her win. She only thought that this victory was because Gu Tingye had intentionally helped her, so she came here to express her gratitude.

"So, both Yanran and I are grateful to you from the bottom of our hearts."

"Ok?"

Originally, Sheng Changquan was not speaking, but at this moment he suddenly noticed that something was wrong with Gu Tingye opposite him!

Especially when Minglan expressed her gratitude to him, his expression became somewhat...

Excitement?

"hiss!"

Sheng Changquan gasped in shock!
At the same time, she also wondered in her heart—could it be that Gu Tingye had some improper thoughts?
As a result, Sheng Changquan had no choice but to perk up and pay more attention to the other party, hoping to figure out exactly what he was up to.
"However, Sister Yanran has already caused quite a stir today, so she asked me to convey her thanks to you!"

"Haha, it's nothing!"

Hearing the news from Minglan, Gu Tingye was very happy.

"Yes, I'm really happy!"

Sheng Changquan nodded silently to himself, his eyes fixed on the other person with unwavering sharpness, giving him no chance to conceal his true feelings.

"I need to see through him!"—Sheng Changquan thought to himself.

"As the saying goes, 'A gentleman helps others achieve their goals.' I was simply moved by seeing Miss Yanran's longing for her deceased mother's belongings."

Gu Tingye smiled, but denied it, saying, "Besides, I did use all my strength just now and I didn't hold back. You were able to win because you were strong enough, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Uncle Gu is joking. If you hadn't fought us with your left hand, how could we have possibly won?"

Minglan immediately saw through the mystery, and she felt even more grateful to Gu Tingye—he really is a good person!

"Ha ha!"

Gu Tingye laughed loudly, completely unaware that he had already been friend-zoned.

"I was just acting on a whim; there was no intention of yielding to anyone."

Gu Tingye denied it.

"All right!"

Gu Tingye smiled and shook his head, then turned his horse around and said loudly, "Now that the competition is over, I'm going back to have some drinks. You can all make yourselves at home!"

"When I visit your Sheng family another day, I'll have a proper talk with you!"

After saying that, Gu Tingye spurred his horse to trot, as if he were avoiding something.

"Damn, I wonder what Sheng Changquan is up to?"

Why are you staring at me like that?

Recalling Sheng Changquan's gaze just now, Gu Tingye couldn't help but shudder!

"No! Let's go!"

In an instant, Gu Tingye's horse was urged to go even faster!
