185: Very, very

When Chen Su returned home, it was already nine-thirty in the evening.

He had just sat down on the sofa when Zhang Long's call came through.

"Xiao Chen, you're truly amazing! Zhao Xingtong won the championship!"

Zhang Long's voice on the phone was incredibly excited.

"Is that so?" Chen Su said with a smile.

"Brother Long, I truly admire you to the point of prostration now."

"I just had good luck; it was a blind cat bumping into a dead rat. I might crash and burn next time."

"Luck is also a form of strength, so don't be so modest."

...After a few more minutes of small talk, Chen Su hung up the phone.

He opened a short video app, preparing to search for Zhao Xingtong.

Before he could even search,

The app pushed the news of Zhao Xingtong's championship directly to him.

[History in the Making! In this year's Snooker World Championship final, Chinese player Zhao Xingtong won the title, becoming the first Chinese and first Asian Snooker World Champion—unprecedented!!!]

Comments section: 99,999+

[Awesome! Awesome!]

[Ah! I'm so excited! Seeing Zhao Xingtong win, I was so pumped that I kicked my family's cow aside and plowed ten acres of land myself~]

[Seeing Zhao Xingtong win, I decisively gave my grandson of the same age a kick.]

[Zhao Xingtong's play is truly fierce now. Forget Ding Junfei, even if I went up there, I wouldn't be completely sure of winning!!]

...The entire internet was boiling with excitement.

Major platforms and media outlets one after another shared the news of Zhao Xingtong's victory.

Chen Su was also genuinely happy for Zhao Xingtong from the bottom of his heart.

But he was even happier that his ten million plus had been secured... At ten o'clock,

The door to Chen Su's home was opened.

Li Chuxia came in again, carrying large and small bags of food.

"Chen Su, come over and help me carry these."

As soon as she entered, Li Chuxia called out to Chen Su.

"Why did you buy so much? Did you empty out the whole store?"

"I didn't plan on buying so much, but the shop owner seemed to be a billiards fan. He heard that someone named Zhao Xingtong won a championship, and he was so happy that he gave a fifty percent discount on everything, so I bought a bit more."

Chen Su helped Li Chuxia place the items one by one on the dining table.

Because of the fifty percent discount, Li Chuxia had bought eight catties of crawfish, along with a large pile of braised snacks and side dishes.

The entire dining table was piled high.

"How come you're the only one back? Where are Xie Li and the others?"

"Xie Li's boyfriend is back. After dinner tonight, they moved back."

"That Xie Li is really something, moving back without even saying a word."

Li Chuxia looked at Chen Su with a sly expression.

"What? Can't bear to see her go?"

"What nonsense! I'm just worried about that Zhao Qingyang acting up."

...At the dining table.

"Chen Su, I want to drink a bottle of beer."

"Alright, I'll go get one for you~"

After Li Chuxia finished her third bottle, she wanted to open another.

She was stopped by Chen Su.

"Don't drink anymore, you've already had three bottles."

"I want to drink. This young lady is in a good mood tonight, very, very good."

"Then tell me, what happened that made you so happy? Let me be happy too."

Li Chuxia cleared her throat and said in a sweet voice,

"Hee-hee~, you told Qin Yueke that you're going to marry me, didn't you?"

*Cough~*

Hearing Li Chuxia say this, Chen Su choked immediately.

*Cough~ Cough~ Cough~*

He began to cough violently.

Seeing this, Li Chuxia quickly took off her gloves, ran over, and gently patted Chen Su's back.

"Are you okay? Are you okay!" Her face was full of concern.

Chen Su coughed for a good while before finally stopping.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I just accidentally choked."

"In the future, don't talk while you have food in your mouth."

"How did Qin Yueke tell you about that?"

In Chen Su's impression, Li Chuxia and Qin Yueke shouldn't be that well-acquainted.

"First, tell me if you actually said those words to her."

Chen Su nodded. "I only said that to put an end to her hopes. Don't misunderstand."

Li Chuxia's brow furrowed.

"Does that mean you don't want to marry me?"

"Ah, no, I do. Of course I do."

After Chen Su finished speaking, he saw Li Chuxia standing in front of him with a mischievous grin.

Only then did he realize he had been played by her.

"Hmph, if you want to, just say so sooner. You made this young lady think she wasn't charming enough, and I was afraid you'd be hooked away by some other woman, so I've been running over here every day."

...After Li Chuxia finished speaking, she beckoned to Chen Su with her hand.

"What is it?"

"Come here!"

Chen Su didn't know what she wanted to do.

But he still obediently walked over... Perhaps it was the alcohol emboldening her, but Li Chuxia was exceptionally daring tonight.

He saw her gently rise on her tiptoes and lean her body forward.

Chen Su only felt a fragrant breeze rushing toward him.

Li Chuxia's stunning face grew larger and larger in his eyes.

The next moment,

Li Chuxia's thin lips pressed heavily against his.

Li Chuxia kissed with great force, but also with great inexperience.

It was like a bolt from the blue.

Everything happened without warning.

Chen Su felt his mind go blank in an instant.

After recovering from the shock of being forcibly kissed,

He opened his arms and gently embraced Li Chuxia... Outside the window, the neon lights flashed.

Reflected under the giant crystal chandelier inside,

Two figures were intertwined.

At this moment, the red thread of fate tied the two of them tightly together once again... After a long time, their lips parted.

Li Chuxia seemed to want more.

"Kiss me again."

"My lady, you have to let me catch my breath and rest for a bit."

"Then this young lady allows you to rest for five more seconds~"

...The night gradually deepened.

After clearing the table, the two sat side-by-side on the sofa.

Li Chuxia hugged one of Chen Su's arms, gently leaning her head on his solid shoulder.

"Now you can never run away again!" Li Chuxia chuckled.

"I wouldn't run anyway!"

"That's hard to say. Didn't you run off with Xu Jing before?"

Chen Su rolled his eyes.

"My lady, at that time, I didn't even know you yet."

"You did know me, you just forgot. I looked for you for a long, long time."

"I forgot?"

"Think back carefully. If you remember, there's a reward!"

Li Chuxia's words left Chen Su even more confused.

From what she said, it sounded like the two of them had known each other a long time ago.

But why didn't he have the slightest impression of it?

Chen Su began thinking back from elementary school, all the way to his university graduation.

Li Chuxia's figure had not appeared in his memory even once.

She was so beautiful that it would be impossible to forget her after seeing her just once.

He hadn't seen her!!

He definitely hadn't seen her!!

Chen Su was certain in his heart that he hadn't known Li Chuxia before... "I can't remember. Why don't you just tell me!"

"No, there's no meaning in just saying it. Take your time thinking; it's not like I'm making you remember right this second."

Chen Su thought for another good while but still couldn't come up with anything.

So he simply stopped thinking about it.

"Chuxia, don't you think the way we got together was a bit hasty?"

"How was it hasty?"

"I haven't even confessed to you yet, and we just ended up together all muddled up."

"Then I'll give you another chance to confess to me right now," Li Chuxia said with a smile... Then Chen Su stood up from the sofa.

He stood solemnly in front of Li Chuxia, then knelt on one knee and said loudly,

"Miss Li Chuxia, there's a man named Chen Su who says he likes you very, very much and wants you to be his girlfriend. Are you willing?"

Li Chuxia's smile was as radiant as a flower.

"Go back and tell that Chen Su that I, Li Chuxia, also like him very, very much, and I am willing to be his girlfriend!!"
