The reborn of paranoid boss cannon fodder wife(256-260)

Chapter 256: Cheer Up and Take the First Place

"You see Zhou Jiayi and Li Shuixian, they actually gave us the thumbs-down. Isn't this looking down on our Xinzhen team! Sister-in-law, come on! Cheer up Cheng Ge to defeat them!"

"Hurry, the competition is about to start!"

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law..."

Bai Lu was handed a megaphone, surrounded by smiling faces full of anticipation from all sides.

With crowds gathered from all directions, fully focused on the upcoming competition, no one noticed this side.

Just one shout shouldn't attract too much attention.

Bai Lu's location was slightly elevated, inclined towards a small hillside, where her voice would surely travel downwind and downstream, spreading wider.

Whether it hits the target depends on fate.

Bai Lu looked at the tall and majestic figure on the dragon boat a kilometer away, slowly picked up the megaphone, and brought it to her lips.

She cleared her throat.

With a voice slightly louder than usual, she spoke: "Go! Xiao Cheng."

The sound doubled as it passed through the megaphone.

Coinciding with the start of the race.

The crisp and pleasant voice cut through the noisy crowd, reaching Xiao Cheng's ears despite the chaos.

He was momentarily stunned, his cold face slightly dazed, and the oar in his hand, already prepared, slowed down by half a beat. Slow by half a beat for the main force meant the entire dragon boat slowed by half a beat. Instead of quickly overtaking the opponents, they were now neck and neck, with signs of being overtaken.

This unprecedented mistake, which shouldn't have happened, instantly made Luo Shiliu turn his head to find the culprit.

And then he saw.

Their wise, visionary, and indifferent "brother Cheng," with eyes fixed on the direction where Bai Lu was, showing an unprecedented look of surprise and joy on his face.

There was still light in his eyes, not because he saw too clearly, but because the light was too intense, almost scorching him.

Well!

Everyone was risking their lives rowing, yet big brother was smiling at the beauty. It's really absurd...

Before the words "absurd" could even form in Luo Shiliu's mind, he was shocked by the sudden acceleration of the "absurd" movement.

The oar in Xiao Cheng's hand seemed to be equipped with a motor, swift and powerful, splitting the river water like silk with each stroke, from the surface to underwater, moving forward at full speed.

First place was secured within three hundred meters of the start.

Not only was Luo Shiliu shocked, but the drummer standing at the front of the dragon boat, Xiao's young man, Xiao Dazhuang, and Wang Hao, the entire Xinzhen dragon boat team, were all stunned.

What's going on?
Why did the dragon boat suddenly become so fast?
The speed was comparable to a motor-driven ship, but this was a manual dragon boat, not a motorized cargo ship!

The surprise came too suddenly. After half a second of shock, the team members came to their senses and looked in unison at the front row.

There was no doubt, and no need for doubt. The miraculous hand that appeared must be none other than Xiao Cheng!

Chen Dafu was still immersed in the joy of about to surpass the Xinzhen team and even having a chance to surpass his big brother's team, but he was caught off guard and fell from heaven to hell in a second.

He was completely confused, unable to find his mind.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?
The captain of the other team in the same group, Changle Town, was also confused, with question marks all over his head.

The dragon boat in front, rowing faster than a car, was the same boat that had been neck and neck with them just now?

Was it the Xinzhen dragon boat team where Xiao Cheng was?

What happened that they didn't know? Why did Xiao Cheng's rowing suddenly become so fierce, shining even from a great distance, almost blinding their eyes?

Were they going to lose first place?
"Ah! Cheng Ge's team is in first place!"

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, look, the Xinzhen team has surpassed Qingshui Town and Changle Town. We're in first place!"

"Sister-in-law's cheer worked!!!"

"brother Cheng heard sister-in-law's cheer. Sister-in-law, look, brother Cheng is rowing so fast, super fast!"

Yu Xiaoling and her friends were excitedly jumping up and down, shouting and sharing their joy with Bai Lu.

Bai Lu was really going to thank them; her ears were almost deaf, and her arms were almost shaken off.

It was also a bit unexpected. Even though they were a kilometer apart, with three other dragon boat teams on the river, all pounding drums thunderously, Xiao Cheng could still hear her voice.

This guy not only had extraordinary vision but also extraordinary hearing. He was simply not an ordinary person.

Without any surprise, the Xinzhen team secured first place in the group stage and entered the final round.

There was a 30-minute break at halftime.

Before Zhou Jiayi came to show off, Yu Xiaoling and her friends had already surrounded Bai Lu to find Xiao Cheng.

They said they wanted to cheer him on at the scene.

They were very close to the finish line, not far to walk, and soon arrived at the docking place of the Xinzhen dragon boat team.

The neighboring Pingcheng team, which also entered the finals, as well as the Jincheng team, were both making rousing speeches to boost morale.

The unique Xinzhen team, except for Xiao Cheng sitting on a rock with a deck of cards, including Luo Shiliu and the other 29 members, were all sitting on the grass playing Landlord.

In groups of five or six, they were playing happily and relaxedly, especially at ease.

Bai Lu felt they didn't need any cheering, but Yu Xiaoling and her friends announced it loudly from a distance.

"brother Cheng, sister-in-law is here."

"brother Cheng, sister-in-law is here."

The first sentence was the original words of Yu Xiaoling and her friends, and the second sentence was the original words of Xiao Dazhuang and Wang Hao.

To everyone's surprise, when the first and second sentences were uttered, Xiao Cheng had already thrown out the trump card and stood up.

"..." Luo Shiliu, Wang Hao, Xiao Dazhuang, Xiao's young man who drummed: "..."

Did they lose?
What happened just now?

What's happening now?

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Cheng took Bai Lu for a walk by the river, and Yu Xiaoling and her friends joined in playing Landlord.

Of course, it wasn't the poker game played by Luo Shiliu and the others, but the game played by other members of the Xinzhen dragon boat team, where there were their classmates, relatives, and neighbors.

They were all familiar faces and soon got into the game.

Bai Lu had been here for so long, yet this was the first time she had slowed down and walked with Xiao Cheng.

There was a subtle feeling in her heart that she couldn't describe.

Both of them remained silent, walking side by side, but

the distance seemed to have suddenly shortened.

The scenery by the river was beautiful, with green branches swaying gently in the breeze, and bamboo leaves floating in the wind.

The hibiscus was in full bloom, with pink flowers blooming, dazzling and beautiful. The hibiscus flowers bloomed and withered, and seeing them made it hard to resist stopping.

"Like it?"

Seeing Bai Lu stop to admire the flowers, Xiao Cheng thought she liked them and picked one, placing it beside her ear.

Bai Lu didn't react at all, raising her hand instinctively to touch the hibiscus flower by her ear.

She subconsciously asked, "Is it beautiful?"

The wind blew through her soft long hair, a strand of green silk curling around her hand, circling around the flower, her smiling face brighter than the sun, more beautiful than the flower.

Xiao Cheng reached out to remove the long hair on her ear with a smile, nodding gently, "Yes."

"What does 'yes' mean?" Bai Lu asked, puzzled, with a smile.























Chapter 257: Blowing up Fish

Bai Lu was wearing the white velvet dress that Xiao Cheng had bought for her last time, pure and elegant, with unparalleled temperament. A touch of pink pollen adorned the picture, and her clear and pure eyes were slightly curved, shining brightly, with a charming smile.

"Beautiful."

Throughout his life, Xiao Cheng had only said these words to Bai Lu, giving them to her for the first and second time.

In the past, the phrase "beautiful" seemed shallow to him, until he met the "Bai Lu" in front of him.

Shallowness turned into reality, sweeping away the darkness with sunlight, taking root in the darkness, and igniting a warm flame in the ice and snow. Only then did he understand that "beautiful" was not just an evaluation.

It was the clear and gentle contours engraved in his heart, the smile that lingered in his mind.

The brothers below had said many times that Bai Lu was beautiful, smart, gentle, and good...

They hadn't read many books, their words weren't articulate, and they kept using the same few adjectives, but it didn't stop them. Every time they praised Bai Lu, they admired her endlessly.

Xiao Cheng, however, envied himself when he was drunk.

Only when he was drunk would Bai Lu put aside all her reservations, be infinitely tolerant of him, and take care of him like a child, forgiving him for everything he did.

She wasn't indecisive by nature; there must be a reason why she hesitated.

A lifetime was long, and Xiao Cheng could wait.

"What are you thinking about?" Bai Lu felt a little flustered under Xiao Cheng's gaze and couldn't help interrupting.

The big boss's gaze was too deep, capable of piercing into the depths of the human soul. She couldn't bear it either.

Xiao Cheng was about to say something when he suddenly heard voices coming from the bushes opposite. He pulled Bai Lu towards the shadows until they reached a secluded spot.

Bai Lu also heard the familiar voices and turned back to ask Xiao Cheng in a low voice, "Should we crouch down?"

Xiao Cheng was very reluctant to crouch down and immediately refused without thinking, "No need."

Bai Lu decisively pulled him down together.

Xiao Cheng: "..."

"You..." "Shh!"

Bai Lu placed a finger on Xiao Cheng's lips, glanced at the opposite side, shook her head remotely, indicating that the bigger picture was more important.

Xiao Cheng's gaze shifted from the slender jade finger on his lips to her face, and then moved straight down.

Following his gaze, Bai Lu found that she had stepped on the big boss's foot.

And it didn't seem like she had just stepped on it when she crouched down; it seemed like she had stepped on it when she backed up.

Bai Lu immediately moved away, smiling awkwardly but politely, "Sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to."

As soon as she finished speaking, voices came from the bushes again, along with the sound of dragging heavy objects.

"Feng Ge, blow up here?"

"Blow up here? Why blow up here? There are no small fish here, can't you see all the big fish are down there? Blow up down there."

"They're having a competition down there. If we accidentally flip the boat over, so many people will throw us into the river."

"Why bother? Why don't we blow up the big fish on the shore too!"

"It's probably not a good idea. Xinzhen is Cheng Ge's stronghold. I heard Xiao Cheng is also participating in the dragon boat race this year. I don't know if he's made it to the finals. There must be a place on the shore or the water where Xiao Cheng is. If we accidentally blow up Xiao Cheng, he will definitely fight you."

"Tsk—if he's participating in this kind of thing, is there a big prize for first place?"

"A big king zongzi weighing thirty catties."

"What kind of thing is that? Xiao Cheng has fallen to the point of fighting over a stupid zongzi with so many people. Is he crazy?"

Bai Lu: "..." You're the crazy one.

Xiao Cheng: "..." Crazy talk.

Little brother Wu You was speechless: "The prize doesn't matter. What matters is the festive atmosphere."

Li Jianfeng's eyes lit up, shining brightly: "So if we blow them up, we'll have a festive atmosphere."

You've got to be kidding!

Wu You was powerless against his boss's perverse tastes and could only remind him, "If you blow up their competing team, brother Cheng will definitely come to settle the score with you."

"That's just fine. I want to settle scores with him too."

Li Jianfeng didn't show any fear on his face. Instead, he looked forward to it eagerly, with bloodthirsty madness in his shining eyes.

Wu You, used to his boss's alternating between normal and crazy states, glanced at the two sacks of special torpedoes under the hands of his subordinates and sighed.

"Are you sure you want to meet brother Cheng in this way?"

"In that case, let's wait until the final round of the competition is over before blowing up."

"Why?" Li Jianfeng tilted his head, revealing a more desolate and creepy smile to Wu You.

"Because if we blow them up now, wouldn't it be better? Let everyone know that Pingcheng has arrived, it's me—Li Jianfeng, let more than forty leaders from various towns recognize us."

Wu You's scalp was tingling. "They already know you, and some of them are Li Chengbin's people. If we blow up too much, it will cause trouble."

"I'm afraid of him?" Li Jianfeng continued to smile.

Wu You was speechless. "If you're not afraid, let's give brother Cheng and Li Chengbin some face. Let's not mess with this dragon boat race for now. Let them settle the score after they've determined the winner. How about that?"

"Blow up only the last boat of fish..." Li Jianfeng rubbed his chin, considering reluctantly.

Crouching in the bushes, Bai Lu frowned, her expression on her face changing like a revolving lantern.

It was simply too complicated to describe.

She asked Xiao Cheng softly, "Does he often have these fits?"

Xiao Cheng was right behind Bai Lu, very close, close enough for the scent of fresh and elegant hair to waft over. The fragrance, the wind blowing a strand of hair across his face.

He didn't move, quietly taking it in.

Softly, he answered a question unrelated to him, "Every now and then."

Bai Lu turned her head back, meeting Xiao Cheng's... lips.

The clear breaths intertwined, freezing the air, and time slowed down.

Bai Lu felt her heart beating faster inexplicably in the face of Xiao Cheng's calm face, and decisively retreated. Her face turned back to its normal position at a regular speed, and she brought the conversation back to the main topic in a low voice.

"Does he go crazy every time he's sick?"



















Chapter 258: Love Rival

Xiao Cheng nodded lightly, as if nothing had happened just now, his focused gaze shifted away from the girl's face, with a hint of barely noticeable smile hidden in his eyes.

Casually glancing at the bushes on the opposite side, Xiao Cheng remarked, "The big boss sent him to Pingcheng for a reason."

Bai Lu could also imagine that aside from other matters, obstructing Xiao Cheng's development was definitely one of them.

Li Jianfeng occasionally went crazy, causing trouble for Xiao Cheng, and no one could expect any peace.

The big boss was determined not to let Xiao Cheng go.

From the shotgun incident to the madman blocking the way, there had indeed been changes, but they were not good.

It was probably understood that Xiao Cheng was not just a pawn to be used. From being sacrificed to pushing back Liangshan, he continued to serve.

If it didn't work, they sent a madman to monitor him, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, Xiao Cheng's attempt to establish himself in this economically trapped land was extremely difficult.

He knew there were tigers in the mountains, yet he chose to go to the mountains, not fearing the danger and facing it head-on.

Bai Lu sighed with admiration and curiosity. Why didn't Xiao Cheng follow the path of his previous life, seeking development elsewhere?

Instead, he chose to stay here and face the tiger.

"Then let's just blow up the fish here, hurry up with the performance!" The madman started acting crazy again.

His tone was excited, eager, and impatient.

Wu You immediately directed his men to launch the torpedoes.

With a splash, the calm river suddenly echoed with dull explosions, and huge splashes soared several feet high.

Waves crashed onto the grassy bank, bending the wild grass standing against the wind, scattered and in disarray.

It could be seen how powerful these special torpedoes were.

If several of them were launched together onto the finals' stage, overturning the dragon boat was not out of the question. By then, it would indeed be "blowing up the fish".

The reward for the last place was also too "generous".

Bai Lu was thinking of a solution when she suddenly heard Xiao Cheng's low voice beside her: "The competition is about to begin."

Immediately after, she was pulled away by a big hand.

The excited laughter from behind grew increasingly distant, along with the louder and louder explosions of the torpedoes.

All exploding in the water, the sounds were not too sharp, but the shock waves from the bottom of the water shook the shore.

The grassland on the riverbank trembled slightly.

"Aren't we going to do something about them?" Bai Lu asked.

Xiao Cheng replied indifferently, "Someone will take care of it."

Bai Lu was about to ask who, when a group of figures came into view from afar. The rhythmic footsteps approached, and it was Yang Qingsong, the mayor of the Xinzhen, and a team of police officers maintaining order.

Both sides nodded to each other in greeting, and Xiao Cheng said, "There's a madman over there blowing up fish."

One sentence summed it all up, hitting the nail on the head.

Yang Qingsong suddenly realized, "I wondered why there were sudden splashes here. Indeed, someone is blowing up fish. I don't know what they bought; the power is so great. Xinzhen is hosting the dragon boat race, and we can't have any safety hazards."

Xiao Cheng nodded slightly and said nothing more, leading Bai Lu to the new town dragon boat team, eagerly awaiting the start.

Yang Qingsong and the others went to negotiate with the madman.

The finals were about to begin, and the backbone of Xinzhen team had not yet returned, making the team members anxious.

Only Luo Shiliu, Xiao Dashuang, and Wang Hao remained calm, sitting on the dragon boat, leisurely rowing and waiting for the bigwigs.

The big brother and Sister-in-law had gone on a date.

Sister-in-law was none other than Bai Lu. Even if the big brother forgot the time, the Sister-in-law would remind him.

There was no need for them to worry.

Look, they're back.

They were even holding hands. Oh, they let their gaze wander too far and their eyes were too intense.

The boys on the boat deeply reflected on their mistakes and waved enthusiastically to Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu.

"Big brother, Sister-in-law!"

The two titles instantly widened the gap.

Xiao Cheng boarded the boat, while Bai Lu and the others returned to their prime viewing spot.

On the way back, they met Zhou Jiayi, who had just finished refueling and inflating the Pingcheng team's boat. Before Zhou Jiayi could speak, Yu Xiaoling picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

"We will definitely win the championship!"

The words were snatched away, and Zhou Jiayi's face turned red as she stiffly yelled, "Our Pingcheng team is the champion!"

"We Pingcheng team have been first every year, and we will be first this year too. The five-time championship is ours!"

Zhou Jiayi's little followers also joined in, shouting, "The champion is our Pingcheng team!"

"The first place always belongs to our Pingcheng team. Your new town team has been at the bottom every year, and this year is no exception!"

"We Pingcheng team are the champions!"

Bai Lu didn't even give them a glance, completely ignoring Zhou Jiayi and the others, proudly walking towards the prime location.

Yu Xiaoling and the little sisters followed suit, making a dismissive sound and ignoring Zhou Jiayi, striding forward with their heads held high.

Zhou Jiayi was infuriated.

Just as Bai Lu returned to her prime viewing spot, a familiar loudspeaker was handed to her.

"Big sister, the finals are about to begin. Quickly cheer for Brother Cheng!"

"This is the last round, and victory or defeat hinges on this moment. Whether the new town team can win the championship depends on Brother Cheng!"

"Now the dragon boat teams are starting from our side. You don't need to shout too loudly; everyone can hear it. Sister-in-law, cheer for Brother Cheng and the Xinzhen team, go for it!"

The girls urged Bai Lu eagerly.

The teams from the second round of the competition had all reached the finish line, and all the first-place teams were at the finish line.

The finals changed from the finish line to the starting line. One thousand five hundred meters away, the starting point became the finish line.

Bai Lu's position was indeed not far from the starting line of the race track. She could clearly see that all three dragon boats were ready with rowers holding their oars.

The red flags of the three teams fluttered in the wind, and the drummers held drumsticks, rhythmically beating the drums.

In the orderly sound, a cheer erupted, perhaps abrupt, but those who wanted to hear it could definitely hear it.

Bai Lu met Xiao Cheng's eyes from afar and smiled, taking the loudspeaker handed to her by Yu Xiaoling.

However, before she could speak, her attention was distracted by overly excited voices around her.

"Brother Jinfan!"

"Brother Jinfan is here!"

Yu Xiaoling and her friends all shouted at the same time, and there were continuous excited greetings from the surrounding girls.

It could be imagined how happy and surprised the girls were to see someone they rarely saw but greatly missed.

Bai Lu turned her head and indeed saw the elegant and gentle young master, Lin Jinfan, approaching her gracefully with a light-colored umbrella, taking graceful steps like flowing clouds and water, wearing a slight smile as gentle as the spring breeze, step by step towards her.

The afternoon sun was not too intense, and he was holding an umbrella, which did not seem out of place at all, but added a unique charm.

Causing the girls around to be unable to move their eyes away, but subconsciously making way for a safe passage.

The sunlight above her head was blocked, and White Lu smiled helplessly, "I didn't see you coming to watch the game yesterday afternoon. I thought your vacation was too short, and you wouldn't come back."

Lin Jinfan looked at the girl's friendly smiling face without any sense of alienation, and his smile became even warmer, "I couldn't get a ticket yesterday morning, so I took a night bus back last night."

The two of them engaged in a pleasant conversation by the river.

Underneath, the dragon boat of Xinzhen team had frozen into an ice boat, and the river surface was covered with frost, freezing inch by inch.





















Chapter 259: The Big Boss is a Devil

Luo Shiliu trembled as he glanced sideways.

Xiao Cheng, who was still smiling when he boarded the ship, now had a dark and stormy expression, his deep eyes shrouded in shadows, fierce winds and rain swirling around him, a look of brutal aggression as if ready to kill.

The pitiful oar emitted cracking sounds of impending doom, a crack splitting from the cruel big hand.

From the ancient wooden oarhead to the tail, splitting through the unfathomable river surface, all split in half.

This was a sign of furious territorial seizure!

But Xinzhen had long been the stronghold, and no one dared to seize territory without eyesight!

Moreover, the degree of this terrifying wrath surpassed mere territorial aggression.

Luo Shiliu decisively followed the deathly gaze of the tyrant towards the riverbank, and sure enough, the truth was revealed.

"Where did this little white-faced guy come from? It's not raining, so why carry an umbrella? Scholars with pale faces are weaklings. They blabber on and on, even when Sister-in-law doesn't want to talk anymore. Why doesn't he have some self-awareness!"

After searching for the culprits Wang Hao and Xiao Dazhuang for a long time, they finally found them by the river.

"He should be discussing business with sister-in-law," Xiao Dazhuang bluntly reassured Xiao Cheng in front.

But Wang Hao said, "What kind of business takes so long? I think he's looking for trouble!"

"When we finish the race and go ashore, the first thing is to beat him up without mercy. If we don't teach him a lesson, he won't know how to die, and even dares to snatch Sister-in-law!"

"Can't stand living!"

The other young men on the boat dared not utter a word, not even dare to breathe.

Lin Jinfan was their high school academic genius, excelling in both academics and morals, the top scorer in the college entrance examination.

His character was impeccable, respecting teachers and elders, humble and polite, both virtuous and talented, a role model for their studies.

Although Xiao Cheng's reputation outside was not good, he never oppressed the common people, only collecting debts from old debtors, not usurious loans. It was because of Xiao Cheng's protection that Xinzhen had been peaceful, without thugs from outside causing trouble, bullying people.

After the last troublemaker Hu Chaman who caused trouble on the street was suppressed by Xiao Cheng's force, he successfully killed a chicken to warn the monkeys.

Since then, no one dared to cause trouble in Xinzhen again, and no one's relatives dared to come and stir up trouble.

During the Qingming Festival when returning to the hometown to worship ancestors, they encountered the domineering Chen family who blocked the road. It was also Xiao Cheng who took action to repel the enemy, seeking justice for the Xiao family and washing away the humiliation suffered by the Xiao family.

Xiao Cheng was the most famous representative of martial force far and near, awe-inspiring, unmatched by anyone.

The nature of men is martial, unchanging from childhood to old age, they, as teenagers, also worship warriors.

If they must be ranked, Lin Jinfan is the champion of culture, and Xiao Cheng is the champion of martial arts, unable to compare.

Lin Jinfan and Xiao Cheng are both big bosses. The former is a scholarly genius, and the latter is a martial god, both are the role models they admire.

If the two big bosses fight, they really can't help anyone. Helping anyone would feel sorry for the other.

It's better to pretend to be deaf and dumb and pretend not to know.

However, reality does not allow it.

"Did you hear that? After the race, tie the scholar up in a sack and teach him how to behave." Wang Hao turned back to instruct his little brothers.

Not all the young men on the dragon boat were from the Xiao family, some were challengers from Xinzhen who won the opportunity to enter the dragon boat race with Xiao Cheng.

The boys originally wanted to play dumb, but when they heard Wang Hao's shout, they couldn't pretend anymore.

They could only declare in unison, "We heard it."

"We will definitely protect Sister-in-law!"

Yes, that's right, the team members are not on the big boss's side, they are on the side of the wise goddess Bai Lu.

Before dropping out of school, Bai Lu was a lousy student, with poor grades, timid and weak, and no presence at all.

But now Bai Lu has changed, becoming beautiful and intelligent, incomparable in her deeds for the Xiao village, a good example of poverty alleviation and rural assistance.

Bai Lu is enough to match the two big bosses, whether Xiao Cheng or Lin Jinfan, neither too high nor too low, absolutely matched.

With Bai Lu's love for peace, she will definitely intervene, they stand by Bai Lu's side is right.

If the two big bosses fight because of love and hatred, they will fight alongside the elder sister-in-law.

Wang Hao, who smelled a rat, flatly refused, "With Big Brother here, does Sister-in-law need your protection? You don't understand the meaning of tying a sack. Do you want your big brother to personally teach you and help you train your muscles?"

Xiao Dazhuang: "???"

"Why should I teach?"

"You're good at fighting, so you can teach these little brothers so they can learn faster," Luo Shiliu said with a sinister smile.

Xiao Dazhuang looked at the indifferent and arrogant figure in front of him and nodded seriously, "Brother Cheng is the most powerful, but Brother Cheng doesn't teach people. Okay, I'll teach."

Twenty-six team members: "……"

They wanted to say they didn't want to learn, could they not learn, they wanted to follow sister-in-law, they loved peace.

They didn't want to get involved in the struggle between big bosses.

The great function of imagining plots is not only the expertise of girls but also the expertise of boys.

The epic battle between the two big bosses had flashed through their minds countless times before the plot had even begun.

Xiao Dazhuang was already eager to teach on the spot, "Tying a sack is very simple, like this...like that..."

"The race begins!"

With the referee's command, the three boats set off together.

Xiao Dazhuang hadn't finished explaining, the team members were forced to listen with relish, and suddenly the dragon boat rushed out.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Before they even started rowing, the boat shot out like an arrow from the string. Was this dragon boat possessed?

The drumming youth was even more shocked, his drumstick frozen in mid-air, forgetting to beat the drum.

H-how could Brother Cheng so fast!

With his own strength, driving the dragon boat, and carrying thirty people on the boat!

The speed even matched the teams from Jincheng and Pingcheng!

The drumming youth widened his eyes, dumbfounded, watching the cold-faced Xiao Cheng wield his strong and powerful arms, holding the oar steadily, spinning it into a blur, the speed so fast it was off the charts.

Fast enough to surpass the teams from Jincheng and Pingcheng.

Could a person row at such a speed?
Who is he? Where is he? What does he want to do?

"sister-in-law, the race has begun!"

"Brother Cheng and the others are rowing so fast!"

"They're already in first place as soon as they started. At this rate, they'll win the championship soon!"

"So amazing! Brother Cheng is so amazing! Look, sister-in-law!"

Bai Lu was pulled back by the excited shouts of Yu Xiaoling and other girls, her attention back to the race track.

Instantly shocked speechless.

The dragon boat of Xinzhen rushed out a hundred meters, and the team members on the boat just started rowing, obviously late.

The key to dragon boat racing is to win at the starting line, falling behind by even a second is difficult to recover, let alone a hundred meters difference.

In theory, the team from Xinzhen should be behind the opponents from Jincheng and Pingcheng, but the fact is not so.

The dragon boat of Xinzhen steadily took first place as it rushed out.

There was only one person wielding the oar on the dragon boat, proudly different from everyone else—the big boss, Xiao Cheng.

Is he a devil???
Not only are his eyesight and reflexes extraordinary, but even his innate strength is so extraordinary!



















Chapter 260: Big Pig's Trotters

One person beats sixty people.

One person rows a dragon boat carrying thirty people, maintaining balance, and stays in first place.

Doesn't he leave any room for ordinary people to live?

Bai Lu had witnessed Xiao Cheng punching someone, but it was nothing compared to the shock she felt at this moment.

She realized she had been ignorant, truly.

For the first time, she understood the true meaning of "there are people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens," the true meaning of a master among the people.

In this vast world, there are all sorts of wonders, and Xiao Cheng is the most extraordinary existence she has encountered in her life.

The teams from Pingcheng and Jincheng also expressed that Xiao Cheng is the most terrifying existence they have encountered in their lives.

They were chatting happily, not paying attention to the referee's announcement that the race had begun, thinking they could seize the opportunity.

But they were struck with despair.

Before they could even feel happy for a second, they were overtaken as soon as the race began. Could a human do such a thing?

To take first place within a hundred meters, solely by one person's strength, is this something a human can achieve?

Xiao Cheng is not human, they are certain and sure of it.

Xiao Cheng is a devil!
A devil with innate supernatural strength!
He leaves no room for them, making them lose face and feel utterly defeated!

Look at how the shouts by the riverbank have changed.

At first, it was: "Go, Pingcheng team!"

"Go, Jincheng team!"

"Go, Xinzhen team!"

But after a hundred meters, it turned into: "Ah! Xiao Cheng is amazing! He's first, so cool!"

"Xiao Cheng! Xiao Cheng! First place, Xiao Cheng!"

"Xiao Cheng! Xiao Cheng! Champion Cheng!"

"Xiao Cheng! Xiao Cheng! Domineering Cheng!"

Three hundred meters... five hundred meters... eight hundred meters... one thousand meters... all filled with cheers for Xiao Cheng.

Perhaps not, Xinzhen team has already secured first place, and Xiao Cheng doesn't even need the cheers.

These are all words of admiration for Xiao Cheng, praises for Xiao Cheng, and ridicules for their slow pace.

The Pingcheng team and the Jincheng team are all pushing themselves to the limit, the oars smoking from their efforts.

But they still couldn't catch up with the dragon boat of the Xinzhen team.

Zhou Jiayi watched helplessly as the Pingcheng team fell further and further behind the Xinzhen team, too angry to even cheer anymore.

Yu Xiaoling deliberately held a megaphone behind Zhou Jiayi, shouting encouragement at the top of her lungs.

The sound of the megaphone was so loud that it pierced through the cacophony of voices, piercing Zhou Jiayi's eardrums, making her stomp her feet in irritation.

She wished she could turn around and crush Yu Xiaoling's megaphone.

But then she thought the race wasn't over yet, there were still five hundred meters left, and the Pingcheng team would definitely turn the tables.

Then they would win and mock Yu Xiaoling and Bai Lu.

Zhou Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and gave Yu Xiaoling a fierce glare, flipping her the bird.

But Yu Xiaoling hit her with the truth she least wanted to face: "Brother Cheng is first! Xinzhen team is first!"

The sisters also shouted in unison, "Brother Cheng is first!"

"Xinzhen team is first!"

Zhou Jiayi's ears were ringing with "first," her mind buzzing with "first," overwhelmed by the concept of "first."

Zhou Jiayi was dumbfounded in an instant.

At the 1500-meter mark, the Xinzhen dragon boat team had already won, while the Pingcheng and Jinzhen teams were still struggling behind.

Finally, after all the members of the Xinzhen team disembarked, the winners were determined.

Jinzhen team second, Pingcheng team third.

Why wasn't the Pingcheng team, which had won four consecutive championships, second, but third? All spectators found it hard to believe.

But they had to believe it. The Pingcheng team worked too hard, and one of their members accidentally lost an oar in the last 400 meters.

Rowing with their hands the entire way, the speed of their hands explained why they ended up in third place.

At the finish line, the champion Xinzhen team was already surrounded by enthusiastic crowds, three layers inside and three layers outside.

Expressions of concern and congratulations flooded in, those who wanted to come out couldn't, and those who wanted to go in couldn't squeeze in.

"The champion is unexpectedly the Xinzhen team." Lin Jinfan was surprised yet not surprised.

Bai Lu looked at the blurry figures at the finish line and didn't hesitate to praise: "Xiao Cheng is amazing."

Lin Jinfan was surprised to see that the girl had already lost the timid and weak clarity in her eyes, replaced by obvious excitement and excitement, which surprised him slightly.

He asked gently, "Have you eaten Zongzi?"

Bai Lu was slightly stunned, then nodded with a smile, "Yes, I ate a very large Zongzi, with chicken legs, chicken wings, pork belly, and shrimp inside."

In the past, Lin Jinfan and the original body would exchange Zongzi every year.

Because the Zongzi allocated to the original body at home was small and plain, different from everyone else's.

Lin Jinfan's Zongzi was very large, with mung beans and meat, and he would share and exchange tastes with the original body.

Seeing her smile didn't seem fake, Lin Jinfan smiled too, "That's good."

"Have you eaten? If not..."

Before Bai Lu could finish her sentence, her wrist was locked by a strong force, and she collided unexpectedly with a solid chest that didn't hurt because the distance was too close, only the words she had just started to say were gone.

The next second, the person was gone too.

Lin Jinfan looked at the two figures disappearing into the crowd, pondering slightly, slowly put away the umbrella, and after a moment, walked into the crowd, heading in the opposite direction.

The prizes for the dragon boat race were at the finish line.

Over the course of a kilometer, the jubilant crowds welcoming the champions were frightened off by their cold faces, making way for them.

Bai Lu was amazed at Xiao Cheng's ability to walk with such long strides, feeling helpless because she couldn't keep up.

"Can you slow down a bit?"

Xiao Cheng slowed down, but continued to walk ahead without looking at anyone, especially not Bai Lu, with a cold expression on his face.

Bai Lu knew this was a very serious moment and couldn't smile, absolutely couldn't smile.

She had to hold back: "Congratulations on winning the championship."

"Mm." He remained cold.

His angular profile looked particularly three-dimensional in the sunlight, but the freezing temperature didn't melt at all.

Bai Lu looked left and right, then looked down at the wrist held by the big hand, raised her gaze to the handsome and cold face of the big shot, and asked, staring, "What's the prize?"

Xiao Cheng turned his face away: "King Zongzi."

"There's King Zongzi!" Bai Lu was surprised.

Xiao Cheng: "..."

Surprised, Bai Lu's face was full of curiosity as she continued to ask, "How heavy is the King Zongzi, and what filling does it have inside?"

Xiao Cheng: "Thirty kilograms, pig trotters."

"A thirty-kilogram pig trotter inside the Zongzi?"

Xiao Cheng: "..."

"Thirty kilograms refer to the Zongzi, and there's one pig trotter."

"Oh~" Bai Lu understood: "Can such a big pig trotter cook inside the Zongzi?"

Xiao Cheng remained expressionless: "The trotter is deboned."

Bai Lu asked again: "I heard the second-place prize also has a prize, is it also a big pig trotter?"

Xiao Cheng: "...Half a pig trotter."

"How heavy is the Zongzi for the second prize?"

"Fifteen kilograms."

"Does the third prize have a big pig trotter?"

"..." "No."

"Then what does it have?"

"A piece of pork belly."

"The third prize rewards pork belly, which has fat. It's too pitiful. It's better to be first or second, with big pig trotters..."
