Chapter 14 The System's Mandatory Tasks
After waiting for Du Hongjun's incessant chatter to gradually subside, Cheng Yi hurriedly said, "Big cousin, I'm getting married and I'd like to invite you to attend. You're the only relative I can contact on our side of the family right now."
Upon hearing this, Du Hongjun on the other end of the phone immediately agreed without hesitation, excitedly saying, "Of course! My cousin's wedding is such a big event, I definitely have to go. I'll even give you a big red envelope!"
Afterwards, Cheng Yi and he carefully arranged the time and place to meet the next day, and the two exchanged a few more pleasantries before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Yi suddenly felt that Li Caihong's gaze towards him had changed. Her eyes seemed to be filled with a hint of heat, and it felt like they were about to "pull strings" (i.e., become intimate).
Cheng Yixin wondered, what was going on? What had he said that touched a nerve with her?
Before Cheng Yi could even ask, Li Caihong couldn't help but ask, "Are you really going to introduce me to your family's relatives?"
Her voice trembled slightly, carrying a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.
Cheng Yi looked at her and nodded seriously, saying, "Of course, it's our wedding, so of course we need to invite my relatives to attend."
However, my older cousin is just a gatekeeper who watches the cars, so please don't look down on him.
A hint of worry flashed in Cheng Yi's eyes; he feared that Li Caihong would have a negative opinion of his relative, who was of ordinary status.
Li Caihong rolled her eyes at him and said reproachfully, "Look at what you're saying. Isn't your older cousin also my cousin? I'm not the kind of person who snobs and favors the rich."
Her tone carried a hint of firmness, making her stance clear.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yi nodded slightly, a relieved smile appearing on her face, and said, "That's true. If you were that kind of person, how could you possibly like me?"
Li Caihong blushed at his words, gave Cheng Yifei a flirtatious wink, and whispered, "I don't know if I was bewitched, but you took advantage of me." Her eyes were full of love and shyness, and she looked like a little woman immersed in happiness.
Cheng Yi looked at her and laughed happily, saying, "What can I do? I have such a captivating eye! I lured my dear wife to bed with just one glance."
His words were full of pride and confidence in their relationship, making the whole atmosphere even warmer and sweeter.
Li Caihong spat and pinched his arm in a coquettish manner. Cheng Yi pretended to cry out, "Ouch, be gentle!"
Li Caihong quickly withdrew her hand, then thought for a moment and reached her hand back to gently pat him.
Cheng reached out and grabbed Li Caihong's arm, pulling her into his arms and groping her all over until she felt weak and her breathing became labored.
The next morning, sunlight shone on every corner of the city, bringing vitality and hope to the new day.
Li Caihong went out early in the morning to handle the wedding banquet arrangements. With great anticipation and meticulous plans, she shuttled between various venues, carefully preparing every detail for the upcoming wedding.
Meanwhile, Cheng Yi embarked on a journey to find his distant cousin, Du Hongjun.
He followed the address given by Du Hongjun and finally arrived at the parking lot outside a luxury entertainment venue.
The parking lot is spacious and busy, with vehicles coming and going, creating a lively yet slightly noisy atmosphere.
Cheng Yi shouted a few words outside the parking lot. A moment later, a figure with a large head and a thick neck hurriedly emerged from a house.
This man was Du Hongjun, whose distinctive figure stood out in the crowd.
As soon as Du Hongjun saw Cheng Yi, he stopped and carefully examined him for a while.
Suddenly, a relieved smile appeared on his face. He quickly walked up and said, "Cousin, you're much better! You used to be as skinny as a stick, but look at you now, you even have muscles!"
As he spoke, he curiously reached out and touched Cheng Yi's somewhat prominent biceps, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise and curiosity.
Cheng Yi smiled and replied, "Big cousin, you haven't changed much, still as chubby as ever. Oh, by the way, Xiao Yu is in high school now, right?"
Du Hongjun replied with a smile, "I'm over 40 years old, so it's normal for me to look like this. Xiaoyu is a sophomore in high school this year. He's not a good student, so it will be difficult for him to find a job in the future."
His words revealed both a candid acceptance of his current situation and a hint of worry about his child's future. Then, he changed the subject and asked, "By the way, when are you having your wedding?"
Just then, Cheng Yi's gaze suddenly fell on Du Hongjun's face, and he noticed several bruises on Du Hongjun's face.
Cheng Yi's expression immediately turned serious. He asked with concern, "Big cousin, what happened to your face? Did you get into a fight? That doesn't make sense. With your temper and personality, how could you possibly get into a conflict with someone?"
Du Hongjun then realized that Cheng Yi had seen the injury on his face. He quickly covered it with his hand, his eyes flickering, and said, "It's nothing, it was just an accident... wait until your wedding..."
His words were somewhat ambiguous, as if he didn't want to dwell on the issue any further.
Looking at Du Hongjun's appearance, Cheng Yi understood that he must have been beaten by Du San in the movie plot. Since he was unwilling to talk about it, Cheng Yi did not ask any further.
Instead, she suggested picking him up that evening to come to her house for dinner and to familiarize him with the place.
Du Hongjun readily agreed, his smile returning to his face, as if the little incident had not affected their kinship or their upcoming reunion.
Cheng Yi was thinking to himself, "It seems the plot has already begun. I wonder how many times my older cousin has been beaten up."
He remembered watching the movie on stage at the Sixth Princess Theater. It was only after his older cousin's car was smashed that he fought back.
He had a vague feeling that something unusual had happened to his older cousin, but for the time being, he could only keep his questions to himself and look forward to learning more later.
After parting ways with Du Hongjun, Cheng Yi went to a hardware store. He carefully selected a piece of pure steel wrench and finally bought one. The heavy wrench felt solid in his hand.
Cheng carefully placed the wrench in the car, and only after he had put the wrench in place did he drive back.
Li Caihong was extremely busy all morning.
She moved swiftly through every corner of the city, demonstrating exceptional efficiency.
She not only successfully found a suitable hotel to host her wedding, but also, through her connections and careful screening, contacted a wedding makeup artist.
Furthermore, she went to great lengths to pick out a suit for Cheng Yi to wear on his wedding day; the suit was of excellent style and quality.
When Li Caihong returned home in a flurry of activity, feeling a great sense of accomplishment, she was even thinking about cooking for Cheng Yi, showing no signs of fatigue from the morning's busyness.
However, seeing how tired she was, Cheng Yi quickly stepped forward to stop her. He gently but firmly pressed her down onto the bed, then turned and went into the kitchen to prepare some simple food for the two of them.
A moment later, Cheng Yi came out of the kitchen carrying two steaming bowls of noodles.
Looking at the man bustling around for her, Li Caihong felt a surge of emotion and happiness.
She ate the noodles Cheng Yi had made for her, savoring each bite as if it were the most delicious food in the world.
In this warm atmosphere, the feelings between the two gradually warmed up, and before long, when their emotions were at their peak, they embraced and went to bed, immersed in each other's love.
After their lovemaking, Cheng Yi looked at Li Caihong beside him, who had a satisfied expression on her face, but he couldn't help feeling a little scared.
He thought to himself, "I have 10 points of physical strength, that's about it for an ordinary person, right? How come I felt a little weak for those ten minutes or so just now?"
(A foolish author: You have the nerve to say such a result after only ten minutes? You're a disgrace to men.)
Cheng Yi: What's wrong with ten minutes? Is ten minutes short? Ten minutes is a long time, okay? Do you even have ten minutes?
A foolish author: Ah, well, of course I'm very long.
He began to have some doubts about his physical condition. He looked down and touched his abs; the firm six-pack bulged slightly under his touch. He thought to himself, "That's quite a few, isn't it?"
Then, thinking about his current situation, he couldn't help but sigh, "Sigh, I should hurry up and finish the Punisher title quest. Ten points of physique, which used to be more than twice my usual amount, should be enough, but now it seems far from sufficient."
Cheng Yi told Li Caihong that he was bringing his older cousin over for dinner that evening. Li Caihong immediately got up, ready to show off her skills and not let her man down.
Cheng Yi drove around and picked up a few more jobs, earning over a hundred yuan. He then leisurely arrived at his cousin Master Fan's workplace.
When Du Hongjun saw Cheng Yi's Xiali car picking him up, he walked over with great interest, gently touched the car body, and said with a hint of curiosity and envy in his eyes, "New? It must have cost a lot of money?"
Cheng smiled and replied, "It's alright. Anyway, if I work hard now, I can earn more money."
Du Hongjun opened the car door, got in, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the market to buy some fruit first."
Cheng Yi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly said, "Cousin, why do you need to buy fruit when you come to my house? We're not strangers."
Du Hongjun insisted, saying, "That won't do either. It's my first time visiting, I can't go to my cousin's house empty-handed."
Cheng Yi's mind raced, and he went along with it, saying, "How about we buy a bouquet of flowers? Women all love flowers."
Upon hearing this, Du Hongjun's eyes lit up immediately, and he exclaimed with delight, as if this suggestion was exactly what he wanted.
He enthusiastically led Cheng Yi to a small flower shop. As soon as Cheng Yi saw the shop owner, she knew in her heart that this was the "outsider."
Oh my, I have to say, Chen Xiaoyi looked really beautiful back then.
Her bright eyes, fair skin, and unique charm make it hard not to take a second look.
Cheng Yi sighed inwardly, "Oh well, she's the woman my cousin has his eye on, so I won't fight him for her."
He watched his older cousin walk in with a simple, honest smile, his expression as straightforward and adorable as if "I want to date you" was written all over his face.
Cheng Yi was smiling as she watched the two people in the flower shop chatting awkwardly and shyly.
However, at that moment, a dark-skinned man in his thirties walked into the flower shop in a sleazy manner.
His appearance instantly made the atmosphere in the store tense. Du Hongjun and the proprietress were stunned. Cheng Yi couldn't help but frown and grit his teeth inwardly. "Damn it, I've finally waited for you, Liu San."
Without hesitation, he pushed open the car door, gripping the newly bought steel wrench tightly in his hand, and strode aggressively behind Liu San.
Cheng Yichao made a shushing gesture to Du Hongjun, signaling him not to make a sound so as not to alert the enemy.
Immediately afterwards, Cheng Yi raised the wrench high and slammed it down with all his might. The wrench, carrying a gust of wind, struck Liu San squarely in the back.
Liu San was completely unprepared and was hit by this sudden attack. He cried out and his body involuntarily took a step forward.
He turned around in pain and saw Cheng Yi holding a wrench, glaring at him angrily, his eyes seeming to spit fire.
Before Liu San could even speak, Cheng Yi interrupted, cursing, "You bastard, you dare to cause trouble for my cousin and his wife? I think you're asking for it."
After saying that, Cheng Yi smashed the wrench down without hesitation.
Liu San did have some reflexes after all; he dodged to the side with difficulty.
Upon seeing this, Cheng Yi immediately rushed forward and delivered a swift and accurate kick, striking Liu San squarely in the waist. The powerful force sent Liu San sprawling to the ground.
Cheng Yi was now in a bloodthirsty frenzy and was about to rush up to continue beating Liu San when he was pulled back by Du Hongjun.
Du Hongjun looked anxious and kept urging him to stop, saying repeatedly, "You can't hurt people, it's against the law."
However, Cheng Yi was not going to listen at this moment. He pushed Du Hongjun next to Chen Xiaoyi and shouted loudly, "Sister-in-law, look at my cousin. Today, if I don't beat this bastard to a pulp, I'll consider him clean."
After saying that, he picked up the wrench and charged forward again like an angry lion.
This time, the wrench, imbued with Cheng Yi's anger, slammed hard into Liu San's arm. Liu San let out another scream, knowing he was no match for Cheng Yi, and quickly got up and fled.
Cheng Yi wasn't about to give up. He threw the wrench, which arced through the air and struck Liu San squarely in the back.
Du San didn't dare to look back and ran out as fast as he could.
Cheng Yi showed no sign of letting him off the hook. He rushed forward, picked up the wrench, and chased after him, shouting, "Liu San, you better stop right there! You dare to bully my cousin and his wife? I'll kill you!"
Upon hearing this, Liu San was terrified and ran even faster, wishing his parents had given him two more legs, fearing that Cheng Yi would really catch up with him and beat him to death.
