Bai Yanyan had already flown a high dragonfly kite.
She used to love flying kites in the countryside fields.
The village kids were no match for her.
This time was no exception.
Among the pampered noble children, her kite flew the highest. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ noⅴelfire.net
Gradually, people were drawn over.
"Wow, your kite is so high!"
"Yeah, and it’s so colorful, it looks just like the real thing when you look up."
Bai Yanyan listened to their compliments, feeling a bit proud.
She said, "That’s nothing, I can help you fly yours just as high in a bit!"
After she spoke, the students around her nodded repeatedly, "Sure!"
However, just then, a black and blue swallow kite, guided by a silver wire, soared into the sky, surpassing the dragonfly kite.
A commotion arose not far away.
Everyone turned to see Bai Zhi’er surrounded by a small crowd.
The classmates over there were shocked, "That beggar is really good at flying kites!"
"Yeah, it’s really high!"
The students next to Bai Yanyan immediately ran towards Bai Zhi’er.
There stood a ragged beggar, holding the silver wire, pulling and moving slowly.
The kite, aided by the east wind, became the most beautiful sight in the azure sky.
Bai Zhi’er looked up with wide eyes, letting out a small exclamation, "Wow~"
Bai Yanyan was fuming.
Her own kite had fallen because she got distracted.
She quickly walked over to the teacher.
"Teacher! Princess Cuicuo is not doing right; she clearly should do it herself, how can she have a beggar help!"
The teacher’s expression was gentle, his tone even more composed, "This isn’t a competition, you can play however you like. The true meaning of learning and joy is in this."
Bai Yanyan gritted her teeth, feeling even more indignant after hearing this.
This teacher is definitely favoring Bai Zhi’er! Just trying to please the Princess!
Just at this moment, the kite in the beggar’s hand gradually came down.
He pulled back the wire and returned the kite to Bai Zhi’er.
"I’ve flown the kite, now it’s your turn. If you can fly it higher than I did, I won’t ask you to treat me to that meal!"
Bai Zhi’er extended her small hand to take it.
She asked Fang Wushen to help by holding the kite while she held the handle of the silver wire, jogging to launch the kite using the wind!
However, her kite, though airborne, stayed low and didn’t go high.
It even fell twice due to poor wind conditions.
Nonetheless, Bai Zhi’er still had a great time playing.
After the last fall, her little face was flushed, her dark eyes shining with excitement.
She ran up to the beggar, panting, "I lost, I can still treat you to that meal!"
The beggar crossed his arms, snorted, "You’re giving up just like that? Oh dear, a dignified young lady isn’t better than a beggar like me!"
Fang Youzhen, standing nearby, heard this and immediately clenched his fists, "What did you say?"
Bai Zhi’er waved her little hand, indicating it was okay.
She continued to look up with those bright, star-like eyes.
"This just shows that you’re really good at flying kites, Uncle Beggar."
"If you don’t try, you’ll never know, in this world, there’s something you can do better than anyone else!"
Bai Zhi’er smiled sweetly, her eyes forming crescent moons, "Go find a job doing that, flying kites for people, you could probably make money, have meals too!"
