Chapter 530 Extra - Holding back the wine
After His Highness Prince Ling finished his speech, the two teams of Cuju players left. Chen Shi glanced at Ye Zhiyuan a couple of times and noticed that he seemed somewhat dejected.
However, she naturally didn't think much of it, assuming he was just unhappy because he lost the game.
She paused for a moment, then followed Chen Ci and Shu Tong.
Seeing the medal Chen Ci was holding, Chen Shi smiled obsequiously, "Brother, could you give me your medal?"
Chen Ci looked at her: "You want it?"
"Yeah, it feels pretty good." Chen Shi nodded.
Chen Ci hesitated for a moment, glancing at Shu Tong out of the corner of his eye: "No, I won't give it to you. This is something I worked very hard to get, and I fell down several times."
"How about I trade you the jade pendant or anything else you want?"
"No good!" Chen Ci waved his hand with a smile: "Don't even think about it."
Seeing his persistence, Chen Shi turned her attention to Chu Song: "Chu Song, you're the best! Can you give me the gold medal? I can give you anything you want!"
Chu Song refused without even thinking: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, I don't want to change."
Chen Shi pouted: "What if I order you to change it!"
Chen Ci raised his hand and tapped Chen Shi's forehead: "Why do you insist on this gold medal? You're putting on airs like a princess."
Chen Shi stomped her foot: "I want it, is that not allowed?!"
Chen Ci's eyes darted around, and he said in a low voice, "Is it because you want to give our gold medal to Ye Zhiyuan?"
Chen Shi blushed instantly, realizing her secret had been exposed. She opened her mouth, "So what if it is... you don't need this brand..."
"Fool!" Chen Ci raised his hand and smacked her on the head. "No man's pride could stand you like this! Losing is losing, a silver medal is a silver medal. A real man can't afford to lose..."
"I just saw he was unhappy and wanted to cheer him up..."
Chen Ci looked at her and said earnestly, "If he doesn't even have the ability to accept setbacks, then he really isn't a good match."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Tong, who was standing next to him, looked up at him twice.
It must be said that, sometimes, what His Highness the Crown Prince said was quite to her liking...
The group returned to their seats in the stands. Chen Ci carefully tucked the medal into his lapel, a slight smile playing on his lips.
It's made of pure gold.
She must really like it.
...
After the opening ceremony, a football match, and two smaller events concluded, the morning sports meet came to an end. His Highness Prince Ling hosted a banquet, and everyone rushed to the feast.
Chen Ci, Ye Qingning, Chen Shi, and Shu Tong were naturally seated at the main table. His Highness Prince Ling was very pleased and poured wine for everyone.
Shu Tong was actually not a good drinker, but seeing that everyone was in high spirits, she didn't want to offend Prince Ling.
I drank the first glass of wine.
Then came the second cup, offered to Shu Tong by His Highness Prince Ling, which Shu Tong raised and downed in one gulp.
After the second cup, there was a third. After three cups, Shu Tong clearly felt that she couldn't drink anymore.
So when she raised her fourth glass, Chen Ci casually took it from her hand: "I'll drink this one for her."
Without giving anyone a chance to react, he downed the whole thing in one gulp.
Shu Tong looked at him somewhat blankly: "Your Highness, I can do it."
Chen Ci curled his lips, his tone slightly cold: "Can what? Don't you know your own alcohol tolerance?"
To outsiders, these words sounded like a sign of affection, and Prince Ling laughed heartily: "Alright, in that case, let's use tea instead of wine. We still have a competition to watch this afternoon."
Chen Ci glanced at the exhausted Shu Tong and said, "Uncle, the opening ceremony is over. I'll take Shu Tong back later, and we won't watch the competition together."
