Chapter 261 Girls are really bad
After a few meaningful "big pig's trotters," Xiao Cheng, who was feeling agitated, finally came to his senses. The dark color in his eyes faded, and he regained his usual calm and aloofness. Looking at the girl's smiling face in front of him, his aloofness gradually dissipated.
Realizing that his unusual behavior might have made her uncomfortable at this moment, he slowly let go of her hand.
He walked forward nonchalantly: "Eight catties."
He walked slowly, and Bai Lu could keep up with him even while taking a leisurely stroll. His eyebrows and eyes were smiling, curved like crescent moons.
Her hands remained at her sides as she walked alongside him: "Would you like to eat the King Zongzi on the spot?"
The scene was packed with people. Eating zongzi in front of so many people was something that Bai Lu wasn't used to, and neither was Xiao Cheng. "We can eat it when we go sightseeing tonight."
"It would be wonderful to enjoy the scenery while eating zongzi," Bailu suggested. "How about we eat them tonight?"
"good."
The audience dispersed after watching the game, still excited, but the boys and girls stayed.
The image of Xiao Cheng's superhuman strength lingered in their minds, and their admiring gazes followed him wherever he went.
Several brave girls saw Xiao Cheng approaching from a great distance and wanted to go up and congratulate him.
But upon getting closer and seeing the stunning beauty beside Xiao Cheng, they all felt ashamed and retreated.
If I remember correctly, the beautiful woman walking alongside Xiao Cheng was their former classmate, Bai Lu.
Although Bai Lu was a poor student, she was beautiful and was recognized as the school's most beautiful girl.
Although Bai Lu wasn't as fair-skinned as she is now, and was so thin she looked like she could be blown away by the wind, her features were exquisitely beautiful.
No one in the school can compare to her.
Because Bai Lu was beautiful and had a weak and easily bullied personality, she undoubtedly became the enemy of girls.
Zhou Jiayi is the most obvious example. She formed cliques to isolate Bai Lu and maliciously spread rumors and slander against her.
Even after Bai Lu dropped out of school, they didn't let her go.
"Bai Lu is a shameless, promiscuous girl. She's a disgrace." With many people around, Zhou Jiayi toned down her words, only using the term "bad girl" to describe her.
The look in his eyes as he looked at Bai Lu was clearly one of disgust, contempt, arrogance, and disdain.
There were many people at the finish line, including Xiao Dazhuang and others who were waiting for Xiao Cheng to arrive so they could receive their awards together.
Upon hearing Zhou Jiayi's words, Xiao Dazhuang frowned and glanced over: "Is she jealous that my sister-in-law is prettier than her?"
Luo Shiliu scoffed: "Be more confident, remove it, okay?"
"She was jealous that her sister-in-law was prettier than her." Xiao Dazhuang removed the "isn't it?" part and found it made perfect sense.
I also discovered a truth: "Girls are really bad."
Wang Hao laughed loudly: "If you're so capable, then don't get married in the future."
Xiao Dazhuang said seriously, "When I get married, I definitely won't marry a wife as fierce as Chen Chunli."
Wang Hao choked: "..."
This time it was Luo Shiliu's turn to laugh, a wicked laugh: "You're just telling the truth."
As Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu drew closer, Xiao Dazhuang said, "I want to marry someone like my sister-in-law."
Luo Shiliu raised an eyebrow and patted him hard on the shoulder: "Great idea, go tell Brother Cheng."
Wang Hao agreed with this good suggestion: "Brother Cheng will definitely praise you for being smart."
If it were before today, Xiao Dazhuang might have been fooled, but not now: "Brother Cheng crushed the oar when he saw Lin Jinfan talking to his sister-in-law. How could I dare to say such a thing? Do you want to die? I'm not stupid."
The honest man has finally figured it out.
"You're not so easily fooled anymore," Luo Shiliu said, shaking his head with a "tsk tsk" sound. "If you're not stupid, why are you daydreaming?"
Xiao Dazhuang: "..."
When Bai Lu arrived, she saw Xiao Dazhuang and Luo Shiliu arguing. Clearly, the honest man had lost the argument.
Upon seeing Xiao Cheng, he couldn't wait to receive the award.
Given Xiao Cheng's personality—disliking both being a spectator and being watched—participating in the dragon boat race was already his limit.
It's impossible for him to go on stage again and move the giant rice dumpling with a group of people, or stand there shaking hands with Yang Qingsong and saying polite words.
As Bai Lu had predicted, Xiao Cheng went on stage, signed his name on the championship red banner of the 1997 Xinzhen Dragon Boat Race, and then went back to her side.
Yang Qingsong swallowed his words, which were on the tip of his tongue, and instead presented the King Zongzi to Xiao Dazhuang and the others.
After the words of praise and encouragement were finished, and the time and place for the night cruise on the dragon boat in Pingcheng were announced, the party dispersed.
The awards were distributed to the runners-up and third-place winners.
Xiao Wei arrived late, weaving through the crowd. When he saw Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu already walking back, his small body froze, his face fell, and regret welled up in his eyes.
"The match is over?"
Bai Lu nodded reassuringly, "Don't worry, your brother won the championship, and we'll eat the King Zongzi during our night tour of Pingcheng."
Xiao Wei was heartbroken and saddened to miss his older brother's hard-won participation in the dragon boat race.
I don't want to talk.
But the thought that the King Zongzi was still won by the eldest brother, and that he could eat the King Zongzi with his brother and sister-in-law that night, made him feel better and he couldn't help but complain about Wang Cuihua.
"It's all Wang Cuihua's fault for throwing the chicken into our yard. The rope wasn't tied tightly enough, and the chicken broke free and ran around the yard. It took me a long time to catch it."
I was late when I came over after cleaning the yard.
Bai Lu could already guess what would happen next, and casually asked, "Where did Wang Cuihua go?"
Xiao Wei came alone; Wang Cuihua didn't come with him, which didn't quite fit her determination to freeload a meal.
Xiao Wei glanced at Xiao Cheng's cold expression, which gradually turned gloomy, and his heart skipped a beat.
The eldest brother must have been annoyed by the chickens running around in the yard, and Wang Cuihua threw them in because she wanted to come over for dinner.
Xiao Wei immediately explained, "Wang Cuihua had some relatives visiting her, so she went home to cook."
"We don't eat at our house."
Xiao Cheng's gloomy and cold expression improved slightly.
Bai Lu tugged at his sleeve and said, "Your clothes are wet. Go back and change them first."
Xiao Wei noticed that only one of his older brother's sleeves was wet, which wasn't much for him. He wondered if his brother would change it.
However, the eldest brother said, "Okay."
Xiao Wei: "..."
My older brother seems to have become more fragile.
Before, she wouldn't even flinch when she got injured, but now, after drinking alcohol, she complains of pain to Bailu.
He changes his clothes even if they get even a tiny bit wet, afraid of catching a cold. When did my brother start taking such good care of his health?
In the past, he would be told to "get lost" if he said anything extra, but now his older brother talks a lot with Bailu.
Although Bai Lu did all the talking and her elder brother listened, he responded to every single word, even if it was just a few words.
Xiao Wei finally discovered a cruel truth.
It's not that my older brother doesn't like to talk, it's just that he doesn't like to talk to anyone other than Bai Lu, including himself.
That's so heartbreaking.
But what's even more heartbreaking is yet to come.
Wang Cuihua, whom Xiao Wei had said had gone home to cook, was now standing at his doorstep with people.
Even from a great distance, you could see Wang Cuihua carrying a prepared chicken and other dishes.
Unsurprisingly, Xiao Wei was given a cold shoulder; his elder brother was clearly blaming him for his poor performance.
Xiao Wei had no way to explain his predicament. He didn't know why Wang Cuihua, who had clearly left and said she was going home to cook, was now bringing people over to freeload a meal.
