Qiao Lin just followed Nan Haoyu's words and asked a question, but miraculously made him feel a lot more settled.

He smiled faintly, and his heart was like bursting an embankment, and he began to talk endlessly, "When I was very young, my grandfather and father formulated a strict training plan for my brother, in addition to language, mathematics, science, and other disciplines, there was also music, art, aristocratic sports, and aristocratic etiquette. As for me, I have always grown up with my eldest brother's training plan, I will learn whatever he learns, and my grandfather and father did not develop a training plan that suits me according to my talent and personality alone. They were also relatively lenient in what I could learn and what requirements I met, not as strict as my brother. ”

Qiao Lin bowed her head and comforted, "Actually, there is nothing wrong with this, there will be gains and losses." Although your grandfather and father were not as strict with you as your brother, on the other hand, didn't you get more freedom and a broader space for development? ”

"Yes!" Nan Haoyu turned his face and looked at her, feeling that he had found a soulmate, "I think the same as you, and even think that my grandfather and father love me more, just like that, I grew up happily to ten years old." ”

With that, he poured some more wine into each of their glasses, and then raised his glass to her, "cheers!" ”

“cheers！”

Jolene clinked glasses with him, her cheeks as if they were stained with smoke.

She originally had an elegant and quiet beauty, but once she drank wine, it was like breaking the taboo, and the whole person bloomed with a rippling brilliance and charming style, but it was an ordinary appearance.

When Nan Haoyu saw it, it was like tasting the best wine, and his eyes unconsciously showed a bit of praise and appreciation.

Touching his eyes, Jolene's heart trembled, and the hand on his shoulder shrank for a moment, and then, quietly, withheld.

Calming her heartbeat, she followed his words and asked, "Oliver, what happened to you when you were ten years old?" ”

"That year, when my brother celebrated his twelfth birthday, my father's birthday present to him was a maroon pony......"

Nan Haoyu looked stunned and fell into recollection.

When he was ten years old, Nan Sichen was twelve years old.

On April 28, Nan Sichen's birthday, James bought a precious pony, all jujube red, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, shiny, and very beautiful.

"Lawrence, I named this horse 'The Earl' as your birthday present, are you happy?" James lowered his eyes and smiled at Nan Sichen and said.

Of course, Nan Sichen is happy, he has been learning to ride a horse for several years, and he has long wanted a horse of his own. He raised his hand and stroked the pony's back, which was also well-behaved, and only chirped softly, and then stood still and let him pet it.

Nan Sichen's blue eyes were bright, and his face was happy, this little "earl" looked very gentle and fell in love with him.

After stroking the pony for a while, he turned around and was about to thank James, when he inadvertently saw Nam Haoyu standing next to his father.

The ten-year-old boy, because he was active, jumpy, and naughty, grew very tall, and was only a little shorter than himself, and had grown to his father's chest. At this moment, he had been staring at the pony, his eyes showing envy and longing.

Seeing Nan Haoyu's eager look, Nan Sichen's heart softened.

Since he was a child, he has been very indifferent to gifts and things, and generally as long as Nan Haoyu likes it, he will give it to his younger brother.

A horse is just a gift.

So he raised his eyes and said to James, "Thank you, Daddy, for giving me this horse, I like it very much, but Oliver seems to like it more than I do." Otherwise, the horse would have been given to him. ”

"What about you, don't you want it?" James walked up to him and asked him gently.

Nan Sichen smiled faintly, the little boy was already handsome, "I can wait for the next one." ”

Hearing this, James's eyebrows furrowed.

He stretched out his hand and pressed Nan Sichen's shoulder, with a bit of strength, "Lawrence, there are some irrelevant things that you can give to others, but you must grasp the things that are crucial to your life. Some things, some people, you can't wait, once you have the attitude of waiting, the final outcome is to miss out, there is no next time. ”

A trace of doubt flashed on Nan Sichen's handsome face, "Dad, but it's just a horse......"

James's face was grim, "But the horse's name is 'Earl'!" ”

James's words were like an imprint, deeply imprinted in Nan Sichen's heart.

From then on, he realized the title of earl that he had to bear as the eldest son and eldest grandson of the Garome family, as well as the unshirkable honor and responsibility behind the name.

The same remarks brought Nan Haoyu a tingling pain in his heart.

However, the ten-year-old boy suddenly understood that only inconsequential things could he compete with Nan Sichen; And those vital things, the name of the Count, the mission of the family, the glorious honor, never belonged to him, even if it was just a pony named "The Count......
