286: Chapter 286 Going to the Qinling Mountains

After waiting for a few more minutes and confirming that no one else was signing up, the host began to introduce the rules.

The rules were very simple: after the host shouted start, the men would lift their girlfriends, and whoever could hold on the longest would be the champion.

Chen Fan tilted his head to look at Su Mian and asked in a low voice, "Sister Su Mian, are you ready?"

"Mm." Su Mian nodded gently.

"You wrap your arms around my neck first. As soon as the host says start, I will be able to lift you up as quickly as possible."

With Chen Fan's current physical fitness, he could even hold one in each arm and still laugh until the end; he said this just so Su Mian wouldn't be nervous.

Su Mian didn't hesitate and nodded earnestly. After Chen Fan bent down, she reached out her arms and wrapped them around his neck.

Just then, the host announced the start of the game.

Chen Fan immediately bent down, wrapping one arm around her waist and supporting the back of her knees with the other, lifting her up in his arms.

The moment she left the ground, Su Mian couldn't help but hold on tighter, her head resting gently on his shoulder, and a faint fragrance drifted over from the direction of his neck.

Su Mian had a great figure; she was slim where she should be slim, and had curves where she should have curves. It was very comfortable for Chen Fan to hold her.

The couple next to Chen Fan also had a man who was over 1.8 meters tall, wearing a tank top, his arm muscles bulging; he looked much more robust than Chen Fan.

He glanced at Su Mian in Chen Fan's arms, his gaze lingering on her for a moment, then he raised his head and looked at Chen Fan with a hint of provocation: "Brother, if you can't hold on, just give up early. Don't force it."

Chen Fan tilted his head to look at him, then glanced at the girl in his arms who was clearly dozens of pounds heavier than Su Mian, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.

Not to mention the girlfriend in his arms who looked dozens of pounds heavier than Su Mian, even in terms of pure strength, he couldn't compare to the current Chen Fan.

Although Chen Fan's muscles didn't look particularly bulky, after being enhanced by the system, his strength was almost reaching the limit of human potential.

Never mind one Su Mian, even with another one, it would be no problem for him to hold one in each arm.

He couldn't be bothered to pay attention to the man next to him and replied indifferently: "You too."

The man assumed Chen Fan was just being stubborn, sneered, and didn't speak again, though he subtly adjusted his holding posture.

Five minutes passed, and two couples had already failed to hold on and quit the competition.

A few more minutes passed, and another pair couldn't hold on any longer.

On stage, only Chen Fan and Su Mian's pair, the muscular man's pair, and another man and woman remained.

The muscular man glanced at Chen Fan, a flash of surprise in his eyes. He had assumed this guy who looked like a rich second-generation heir wouldn't last long.

Unexpectedly, ten minutes or so had passed, and he still looked very relaxed, while he himself was starting to feel his arms aching.

He gritted his teeth, neither putting her down nor speaking, just stubbornly changing his posture. He didn't believe that after working out for so many years, he would lose to this guy next to him.

Time ticked by, and soon the other man couldn't hold on anymore and put his girlfriend down.

Only Chen Fan and Su Mian, and the muscular man and his girlfriend, remained on the stage.

This muscular man did have some strength; his girlfriend's weight was quite a bit more than Su Mian's, and he could actually hold on for so long. Chen Fan thought more highly of him.

Another five minutes passed, and the muscular man finally couldn't hold on.

He gritted his teeth and put his girlfriend down. When she landed, his arms were trembling, and he had to take several breaths to recover.

He stood on the stage and looked at Chen Fan helplessly, then without saying anything more, he turned and walked off the stage.

After the muscular man went down, only Chen Fan and Su Mian were left on the stage.

Chen Fan didn't plan on holding her any longer either. Although he could still hold her for a long time, there was really no need for it.

He looked down at Su Mian in his arms, preparing to put her down.

Just as he bent down to put her down, he discovered that Su Mian's eyes were closed, her breathing was steady, and her eyelashes were drooping quietly, as if... she had fallen asleep.

Chen Fan was stunned: "Sister Su Mian?"

Her eyelashes fluttered, and she opened her eyes, saying with a hint of confusion: "What's wrong?"

Chen Fan felt a bit helpless. How carefree must she be to fall asleep with so many people watching?

"We won," he said.

Only then did Su Mian fully wake up. Realizing she had fallen asleep in his arms just now, her face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly released the hands wrapped around his neck: "...Put me down."

Chen Fan bent down and put her down. After Su Mian stood steady, she smoothed her skirt, her earlobes still tinged with a lingering flush.

The host walked over with a microphone, announced that Chen Fan and Su Mian had won, and then handed over a brown bear doll that was half a person tall.

Chen Fan easily carried the large bear doll with one hand and walked towards the outside of the crowd with Su Mian.

Chen Tong was already waiting outside the crowd. Seeing Chen Fan coming out carrying the large bear, her eyes lit up, and she reached out to take it: "Not bad, classmate Little Chen, you actually really won the prize."

"Chen Fan is very amazing," Su Mian said with some pride. After she finished speaking, she was stunned herself, as if she hadn't expected those words to come out of her own mouth.

Chen Tong smiled, then handed the large bear to Su Mian: "For you."

Su Mian was stunned: "Why give it to me?"

"You two won it, so of course it's for you," Chen Tong said as if it were a matter of course.

Su Mian hesitated, "Then give it to Chen Fan."

"What would a guy like me want with this thing? Sister Su Mian, you keep it."

Su Mian nodded upon hearing this, and then took the doll from Chen Tong's hands.

The bear was quite large, almost blocking half of her body. She adjusted her posture, as if wanting to find a less strenuous angle, but after walking for a distance, it still seemed a bit difficult.

Seeing this, Chen Fan walked to her side and reached out to take the bear from her hands: "Give it to me, I'll put it in the car first."

Saying that, he walked towards the elevator.

After Chen Fan returned from the underground parking garage, the three of them continued to stroll around the mall for a while.

By the time they finished strolling near six o'clock, they found a restaurant nearby to eat, and it was nearly eight o'clock when they came out.

"Little Fan, we are ready to go back," Chen Tong said standing at the restaurant entrance.

"Okay, then I'll take you back to school."

On the way back to school, Chen Fan asked while holding the steering wheel: "By the way, when are you two coming to my company?"

"In a few days. We just started our vacation, let us play for a few more days," Chen Tong said.

"Okay."

"By the way," Chen Tong suddenly said, "Tomorrow is Saturday, you shouldn't have to go to the company, right?"

"What's the matter?" Chen Fan asked.

"If you aren't going to the company, let's go to that Qinling Mountains from last time to have some fun. The Qinling Mountains are very cool right now, Chang'an is too hot."

Chen Fan thought about it. He really didn't have anything to do for the next two days, so going out to play was fine: "Okay, then let's go to the Qinling Mountains. Is Sister Su Mian going too?"

"Yes, we two will definitely go together," Chen Tong said.

"Then what time should I come to pick you up?" Chen Fan asked.

"8 o'clock, we still need to buy some things."

"Okay."

Half an hour later, the car stopped at the school gate. Chen Tong and Su Mian pushed the car doors open and got out.

Chen Fan took the large bear out of the back seat and handed it to them. The two of them each carried one side of the brown bear doll and walked into the school.

Seeing their figures disappear into the school, Chen Fan also started the car and left.
