Chapter 157 A Clash of Titans
Lu Zhenyu didn't let Shen Jingsi stay because she had already arranged with Shi Yiqiao to reserve another room for her.
When Shi Yiqiao arrived, Lu Zhenyu was still fast asleep in bed. She was eventually woken up by a video call from Xiao Zhenzhu.
I leaned against the headboard and coaxed the little one who clearly missed her but kept quiet for a while.
"The postcard was just mailed last night, it should take about a week to arrive, don't worry, honey."
"Hmm, I'm not in a hurry. Mommy Zhenzhen should have fun playing with her friends. Don't worry about Little Pearl. I have Brother Xinyi and the others with me every day, so I definitely won't miss you."
Double negatives are actually positives, but kids don't understand that. They're saying this so that Mommy can have fun with her friends abroad.
The sun was already shining brightly outside the window, and Lu Zhenyu's heart was filled with even more warmth.
Looking at Little Pearl's face, which occasionally bore a resemblance to Shen Jingsi's in some expressions, she unconsciously thought of her and Shen Jingsi's child.
If the baby were still here, would she be just as cute, well-behaved, and clever as Little Pearl?
Ke Luzhenyu didn't want her child to be too obedient. In her view, all sensible and obedient children were raised with grievances and sacrifices.
An indescribable emotion slowly welled up in her eyes. She took a few deep breaths to force back the tears, and kissed the screen, "Baby, be good. Mommy Zhenzhen will be back soon."
...
After hanging up the video call, Lu Zhenyu, with a lingering smile, went into the bathroom to wash up.
After drying my hair, I came out to find the beach already bathed in the glow of the setting sun.
Her phone, lying on the sofa, kept ringing. She walked over, still wrapped in her bathrobe.
The Four Beauties of the Capital (4) Group:
Feng Manman: "@Lu Zhenyu @Shi Yiqiao @Bei Tingwan, you three, come to the basketball court right now! Hurry!"
Shi Yiqiao, who was at the coffee shop downstairs with Bei Tingwan, texted, "What? Did you get bribed by that guy Si Wuwei again? I'm not going."
Feng Manman sent a voice message; it was Xia Feifei's voice: "Manman is pregnant with my godson. I swear on her, the scene is going to be explosive, a fight is about to break out, and anyone who doesn't come will regret it!"
Feng Manman sent a photo to the group chat.
Lu Zhenyu opened the window and saw two people, one in white and one in black, standing in the center of the basketball court.
Referee Feng Jinheng was making a serving motion on the sidelines.
When Lu Zhenyu, after changing her clothes, arrived with a sandwich in hand and a coffee in hand, strolling leisurely while eating, the game was in full swing.
She wore a halter-neck dress, pale yellow, with a ring of sparkling rhinestones around her neck, and large waves rippled gently behind her off-the-shoulder shoulders as she moved lightly.
Tourists who came from the seaside, drawn by its reputation, filled half of the stadium.
Despite the bustling crowd, one could still spot the pale yellow figure at a glance.
Xia Feifei, who was in charge of logistics, quickly pushed through the crowd and pulled Lu Zhenyu to the stands.
Shi Yiqiao, who was usually quite engrossed in the game, was now more excited than anyone else. "It's perfect that you're here. Come on, join our betting game and bet on which of these two generals will win."
Lu Zhenyu glanced at the score, then looked at the two players locked in a fierce battle on the field.
"Who did you all bet on?"
Setting down the coconut she was drinking from, Xia Feifei clapped her hands and picked up a list. "Feng Manman—Feng Jinzhou 500; Shi Yiqiao—Shen Jingsi 600; Xia Feifei—Feng Jinzhou 500, Shen Jingsi 550. Bei Tingwan—Feng Jinzhou 3000!"
Lu Zhenyu stared wide-eyed at Bei Tingwan, who was sitting gracefully beside her in a white dress. The woman smiled elegantly, "He's my own brother-in-law, so I have to support him."
She swallowed hard, then looked at Xia Feifei and asked, "What's with that extra fifty yuan?"
Xia Feifei chuckled, "In terms of strength, there's no doubt that it's our Major General Feng, but!" She raised her hand, "I firmly believe that the power of love is great."
Lu Zhenyu was both amused and exasperated. "Is greatness only worth fifty yuan?"
This amused Shi Yiqiao, who was drinking milk tea, and she gave him a sidelong glance, "Then how much is it worth? 2500?"
Lu Zhenyu, "..."
A commotion arose around the field, and the girls looked closely.
Trailing by 2 points, Shen Jingsi stole the ball from Feng Jinzhou halfway through the game and then launched a three-pointer.
With a slight lift of the wrist, the ball detaches from the distinct fingers, tracing a graceful arc before piercing the hoop perfectly vertically.
The black athletic short-sleeved shirt accentuates the superior physique maintained through years of fitness. As the arms fall and the body sways, the narrow waist beneath the broad shoulders exudes a powerful and explosive force when turning.
His short-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat and clung to his body, revealing his perfectly shaped chest muscles.
He lifted his shirt to wipe his sweat, beads of sweat floating and sliding down his abdominal muscles with each breath.
Shi Yiqiao stopped the pearl in her straw, then sucked it up a couple of seconds later and swallowed it whole with her saliva. "Zhenzhen, so you little brat used to eat so well."
Xia Feifei said, "Isn't it said that men's prime is short? But my brother-in-law's... it's not short at all."
Feng Manman chuckled, "If the lover who rose to power five years ago by virtue of his looks is gone, the male lead's position will be even more precarious."
Shi Yiqiao patted Lu Zhenyu on the shoulder and said, "Pearl, this is my advice as someone who's been there: never agree to either of them so easily. If this head-to-head confrontation continues, your life will be incredibly comfortable for a long time to come!"
Lu Zhenyu wanted to laugh but felt helpless, so she could only shake her head and look at the two wolves "biting" back and forth on the field.
The two, one in black and one in white, were locked in a fierce battle, their scores neck and neck, constantly overtaking each other, giving the impression that their abilities were evenly matched.
During halftime, Si Wei and Shen Jinchuan came on as substitutes. The two took the towels handed to them by Feng Jinzhou, wiped their sweat, and sat down on the chairs.
They tilted their heads back in unison, their Adam's apples bobbing in succession, and finished a bottle of mineral water in the blink of an eye.
The bottle was squeezed into a ball by a large hand and accurately thrown into the trash can.
Shen Jingsi squinted and scanned the opposite stands, his sharp eyes narrowing as he precisely spotted his own girl.
Two gazes met across the distance, and the usually expressionless handsome face broke into a smile in the blink of an eye.
The figures moving around the field blocked Shen Jingsi's view, so he tilted his head and smiled indulgently at Lu Zhenyu.
Those ambiguous glances made the onlookers' blood sugar levels almost spike.
Lu Zhenyu, who was in the middle of it all, was completely unaware.
Shen Jingsi mouthed something, and before she could see it clearly, she leaned forward and asked, "What did you say?"
Having read her lip movements, Shen Jingsi stood up and made a move to go over.
Before she could take a step, two stunning blonde beauties wearing bikinis squeezed in from behind. In Feng Manman's words, they had incredibly good figures and were practically role models for women.
The woman in the burgundy skirt spoke first, her Chinese a bit tongue-twisting, "Hello handsome, you're really good at basketball, can we get to know each other?"
Blocked from his path, Shen Jingsi, who was only focused on finding a wife, showed no appreciation for sexy women, only displeasure. "I don't have time."
He turned to walk away on the other side, but was grabbed by the wrist by a beautiful woman with long, wavy blonde hair in a light blue bikini. "Ne sois pas si distant, beautiful gosse. Je viens de voir ton match et je t'admire vraiment. Puisqu'on est tous les deux célibataires… et si onéchangeait nos contacts On resteà Kuala Lumpur les deux prochaines semaines."
Glancing coldly at the hand gripping his wrist, Shen Jingsi frowned. "Lache-moi."
It wasn't "Let go of my hand" or "Let go of your hand," but a direct and harsh command: "Let go."
Shen Jingsi's aura suddenly plummeted, startling the two French beauties. He spoke French with great flair, but his tone and attitude were intimidating.
When the hand loosened, Shen Jingsi took off the towel around his neck and rubbed his wrist right in front of the two of them.
He didn't even lift his eyelids. "I have a woman and children."
Upon hearing Shen Jingsi mention that he had a wife and children, the two beautiful women exchanged a smile, seemingly unconcerned. "They're not here, we won't tell anyone."
"Look back at the three o'clock position, and the most beautiful one in the crowd is my wife. After that, I'll go to the beach and take a picture of myself."
He didn't stop until his wrists were red from rubbing. He frowned, threw the towel into the trash can, and turned to walk towards the audience without giving the two of them a second glance.
He hadn't taken two steps when he froze in place.
As far as the eye could see, there was an unsightly white figure next to my beautiful wife.
Feng Jinzhou sat down next to Lu Zhenyu, who was looking up at him, and said something with a smile.
