How many loves can be relived in the story of a devoted CEO pursuing his wife?
Chapter 111 Brotherhood
"Alright, you brat, have another one." Xie Zhanming seemed to enjoy teasing Lin Xuedong immensely.
He was particularly excited tonight and had drunk a bit too much. He staggered over, his tall figure positioned between Lin Xuedong and Zeng Ziyan.
“Sisi, you can’t mess things up again this time. He can handle it, don’t feel sorry for him!” He winked at Liu Sisi, then his sly gaze fell on Lin Xuedong. He curled his lips into a sly smile, brandishing the bag of punishments in his hand. “Hurry up!”
Lin Xuedong glared at him fiercely, but finally reluctantly complied.
Find a partner (of the same sex or a single person of the opposite sex) on the spot, carry them in a princess carry, and run them around the venue once.
"???" Lin Xuedong's handsome face immediately turned ashen.
Same sex? They're all big, strong men; trying to carry them in a princess carry would be suicide!
He suddenly jumped up from his seat, asking with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "Who came up with this question?"
"Hehe~, hehe~, no matter who paid for it, you're dead meat today." Xie Zhanming raised his eyebrows, patted his chest smugly, and said with feigned willingness. "Your uncle here is 185cm tall and weighs... 78kg. I'm the most standard and slender one among them. How about I take a loss and let you hug me?"
"Ah Dong, choose me, 183cm, 72kg." Xing Yi, in high spirits, excitedly slapped the table and volunteered.
Wen Nanguo glanced at his slightly plump figure and chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Ah Dong, I won't add to your burden. You'd better take care of yourself."
"Sigh..." Xing Peng sighed, looking helplessly at Lin Xuedong.
Li Songze sat calmly, his expression serene, neither adding insult to injury nor offering any leniency.
“Brother Lin, Ziyan and I are both single. Why don’t you consider it?” Chen Meiyuan’s lips curled slightly, her words carrying a hint of provocation. “It’s just playing games, I don’t think Sisi would mind too much. Right, Sisi?”
Seeing the target of the attack, Liu Sisi involuntarily flinched. She looked around; all the men were tall and imposing, which truly stumped Lin Xuedong.
Carrying her on your back and wrapping her around is fine, but to carry her in a princess carry... well, even Olympic weightlifting champions would probably have a hard time doing that.
After a moment's consideration, she reached out and tugged at Lin Xuedong's sleeve. Raising her eyebrows, she looked up at Lin Xuedong and smiled faintly. "It's alright, we won't suffer this loss now. This time, it might be inconvenient for Miss Chen or Assistant Zeng."
"Sisi!" Lin Xuedong lowered his eyes, his heart tightening. He looked at her with complicated emotions. Although it was just a game, he didn't want to disappoint this little woman.
Xie Zhanming, always eager for chaos, spoke with a hint of excitement and agitation. "Hey, your girlfriend's already given the go-ahead, what are you still dawdling about?"
"How about we decide by drawing lots? The two single ladies can choose one." Seeing Lin Xuedong's dilemma and admiring Liu Sisi's understanding, Xing Peng finally spoke up. Leaving it to fate wasn't against his conscience.
“Okay, Brother Xing’s idea is great, I agree!” Liu Sisi quickly agreed. Her straightforwardness undoubtedly eased a lot of embarrassment for Lin Xuedong.
So, Chen Meiyuan and Zeng Ziyan drew toothpicks of different lengths, and as expected, it was an unpleasant game, with Zeng Ziyan ultimately winning.
This was quite a surprise! Xie Zhanming's eyes lit up as if he'd been injected with adrenaline, and he gave Zeng Ziyan an exaggerated once-over.
Tonight, the young woman wore a pinkish-purple fitted short dress. She was more voluptuous and taller than Liu Sisi, and had a sweet appearance. Her long, curly hair made her look even more charming, and her shy, bashful face resembled a chrysanthemum, quiet yet vibrant.
He couldn't help but playfully punch Lin Xuedong's firm chest. "You little rascal, you're in for a treat with the ladies tonight!"
"Thanks to you!" Lin Xuedong gave him a cold glance, and Xie Zhanming immediately shut his mouth, tiptoed back two steps, and made room to watch how he would show off his prowess.
Zeng Ziyan stood there, her hands gripping her skirt tightly. Her pretty face was flushed, and she bit her lower lip slightly, gazing at Lin Xuedong with a coquettish look, like a concubine awaiting his favor.
"Brother Xuedong, I...I'm ready." She smiled sweetly at Lin Xuedong, full of anticipation.
He glanced almost imperceptibly at Liu Sisi out of the corner of his eye. The people around them were cheering and shouting, but she just looked at Lin Xuedong with a faint smile.
Xing Yi couldn't sit still any longer. He stood up, whistling, and walked over, sneering, "Ah Dong, how about I do it? Who else but me would save you?"
Lin Xuedong glanced at him but didn't answer.
He slowly took off his coat and removed his watch. He elegantly rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt, revealing his well-defined, muscular wrists.
His bright, piercing eyes gazed deeply at Liu Sisi, as if that one look had made him a decision.
He turned to Zeng Ziyan, his narrow eyes slightly narrowed, and said with a faint smile, "I'm sorry, Ziyan."
"Learn from Brother Dong!" Zeng Ziyan exclaimed softly in surprise.
After saying that, Lin Xuedong took a deep breath and held it. With lightning speed, he grabbed Xing Yi's shoulder with one hand, who had just stood beside him. With his other hand, he went around to Xing Yi's knees, half-squatting and lifting him up, making Xing Yi's handsome face look up in surprise.
After catching his breath, he began to take difficult steps. Xing Yi gasped and didn't dare to act rashly.
She cooperated by wrapping her arms around Lin Xuedong's neck and trying to press herself against his chest to reduce his burden.
Lin Xuedong was under considerable pressure, his blood rushing to his head. He tightened his grip on his hands and bit down hard on his cheeks.
His eyes held a sharp glint, as if poised to strike, and the veins on his temples rose and fell steadily.
He held his breath, circling the dining table. No one disturbed him; they made way for him, and all the looks they cast at him were filled with admiration.
Liu Sisi felt a sharp pang in her heart; she felt very uncomfortable and heartbroken.
Realizing the emotion she was feeling, her eyes reddened slightly, her fists clenched, and she held her breath. She couldn't bear to see him suffer, and he couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so she could only silently cheer him on in her heart.
Lin Xuedong pressed on with renewed vigor, sweat beading on his forehead, his arms aching and trembling slightly. After walking about half the lap, his steps became heavy and slow; he was nearing the finish line.
He saw Liu Sisi was only five or six steps away from him, and the people around her were cheering him on. But all he saw was Liu Sisi's tense and strained expression, and her excited, red eyes.
His wife was worried about him; he couldn't let her down or make her worry.
Lin Xuedong secretly took a breath, then gritted his teeth. He closed his eyes to concentrate, and continued walking.
One step, two steps, three steps... The sounds of their applause and cheers filled my ears, and I could also hear my own heart pounding like a drum.
And not far away, one could almost sense the call from the woman's heart: "Honey, you can do it! Honey, you're amazing! Honey, I love you."
Finally, they reached the finish line, but he didn't know when Xing Yi had jumped out of his arms.
He felt drenched in sweat, utterly exhausted, and his whole body was weak. His ears were ringing, as if he had been submerged in a pool of water. Even when he opened his eyes, all he could see were them shimmering in front of him.
But he still realized that Xie Zhanming was supporting him, and Liu Sisi was wiping his sweat with a tissue.
After catching his breath, Xie Zhanming helped him sit down and asked the waiter to bring him a glass of room temperature water.
"You little rascal, you're really something! You've really gone all out for Sisi!"
"Ah Dong, you've worked hard, ha~." Before anyone knew it, Xing Yi had come forward again, rubbing Lin Xuedong's arms and back as if offering a treasure. It was like the kind of attentive service offered to a boxer during a break, his attitude extremely ingratiating.
"Ah Dong's physique is pretty good! He must train a lot." Wen Nanguo said admiringly.
"Impressive!" Xing Peng gave a thumbs up, realizing that Lin Xuedong cared about Liu Sisi more than just a little.
Li Songze remained silent, but he admired his opponent. It was clear that he valued Liu Sisi highly; even though it was just a game, he didn't slack off and stayed true to his principles.
As for Liu Sisi, well, she truly loves Lin Xuedong; her heart and eyes are filled with him. She's simple, straightforward, and honest; hopefully, Lin Xuedong will cherish her.
"You, you... you planned this all along to mess with me, didn't you?" Lin Xuedong slumped in his dining chair, panting heavily. His eyes slowly cleared as he looked at Xing Yi and Xie Zhanming nearby and complained.
"What are you talking about? You clearly lost, and you voluntarily accepted the punishment." Xing Yi guiltily looked away and withdrew his hand, preparing to dodge.
But as soon as he stood up, Lin Xuedong pulled him back down. "???!!!!"
Lin Xuedong used his strength to pounce on his back, spread his legs to restrain his pelvis, and wrapped his arms around his neck.
"It's your turn to walk around the field once," Lin Xuedong commanded with a beaming smile, like a child mounting a horse.
Xing Yi was jolted by his sudden, forceful impact, and staggered forward two steps before regaining his balance.
Before she could react, Lin Xuedong was already on her back, and she couldn't shake him off. All she could do was hold his buttocks back with her hands behind her back and yell, "Get off! You're so heavy!"
"I won't!" Lin Xuedong said childishly, enjoying a rare moment of triumph. "Give me back my lap."
"Old Xie, don't just stand there! Bro, boss, help me..." Xing Yi cried for help with a miserable face.
"You brat, you should honor your bet. Is this how you act so irresponsibly?" Xie Zhanming said, but his tone was nonchalant. In reality, he pretended to help Xing Yi up, shoving him forward.
"???" This is... an ally. Xing Yi broke out in a cold sweat; he had known this guy was treacherous all along.
When he finally reached Li Songze from behind, carrying the weight of a thousand pounds, he laboriously managed to free his hand and place it on Li's shoulder. His back was hunched, his arm was aching, and he could barely support the weight; even his lips were trembling. "Boss...
Li Songze sighed softly and shook his head slightly. He narrowed his eyes, raised his hand and placed it on the back of Xing Yi's hand, then stood up and swiftly reversed his hand.
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"what!"
"Oh!"
Xing Yi's body reflexively fell backward, but the expected pain didn't happen. A thick wall of flesh beneath him steadily supported him. Lin Xuedong only let out a muffled groan of discomfort, while the scream came from Xie Zhanming, who was at the very bottom.
"Serves you right! Hahahaha!" Xing Yi was the first to get free after being untied. He rolled to his feet and pointed at his two uncles and nephews on the ground, laughing heartily.
Li Songze politely helped Lin Xuedong up and patted him on the shoulder. Then he squatted down to check on Xie Zhanming. "Are you alright?"
"Something's up!" Xie Zhanming glared at him fiercely, grabbed his arm, and jumped up. How embarrassing!
"Old Xie, you've done so many unjust things..." Xing Peng strolled over casually, checking him over, and teased, "Where are you hurt?"
"Heart!"
"Hahahaha~." The people in the hall burst into laughter at his antics.
