Chapter 7

Update time: 2012-10-11

Chen Xiaojiao and Gao Qian looked at each other in disbelief, then began to discuss in a flurry of voices.

"Zhang Dong must have cheated! Otherwise, it's impossible."

"Cheated? No matter how he cheated, he couldn't become the top science student in the national college entrance exam, right?"

"Perhaps he's actually very excellent, and he's been pretending all along, deliberately keeping a low profile?"

"That's right, it must be. This person is too despicable, and I'm just shooting myself in the foot, aren't I?"

"Xiaojiao, could it be that you've known how great he is for a long time, and secretly liked him, so you deliberately made this bet with him?" Gao Qian said teasingly.

"How would I know he's so great, and secretly like him? I've been tricked this time!" Chen Xiaojiao gave Gao Qian a scolding glare, blushing.

"Hehehe~"

Gao Qian couldn't help but giggle and said, "Xiaojiao, we're best friends. Is it meaningful to hide your secrets from me? Actually, I've known for a long time that you have a crush on Dongge. I've always wanted to know why but didn't dare to ask. Now it's all clear. Dongge is a hidden dragon, pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. Your eyes are really good. Congratulations on becoming the top student's wife, achieving your long-held wish."

Chen Xiaojiao was at a loss, unable to argue, and quickly counterattacked, "Xiaolian, congratulations to you on becoming Liu Kui's wife. After all, Liu Kui scored 695 points, higher than you."

The two girls teased each other for a while, then their expressions turned anxious as they whispered about how to deal with the situation. They knew that Zhang Dong was always full of tricks and always teased them. They had never had the upper hand. Now, with such a big handle in his hands, their future days would definitely be tough.

"Knock knock knock~"

Before they could come to a conclusion, the door was knocked, and Liu Kui's voice rang out from outside, "Sister-in-law, open the door quickly. The top student is here to welcome the bride."

The two beauties looked at each other, unsure of what to do.

"Call the police," Gao Qian said with a smile, "Otherwise, you'll have to consummate the marriage with him today."

"Call the police?" Chen Xiaojiao was at a loss, "Don't worry, my parents will be off work soon. They'll make them leave."

"Open the door, open the door." Liu Kui and several classmates surrounded Zhang Dong and shouted outside.

The door finally opened, and everyone rushed in.

Zhang Dong looked at Chen Xiaojiao, who was blushing and looking around nervously, with a strange gaze and teased, "Wife, bring me a cup of tea."

"You, go to hell," Chen Xiaojiao said angrily.

"How dare you be so disrespectful to your husband? I'll teach you a lesson." Zhang Dong walked up to Chen Xiaojiao step by step, his hands making a hugging gesture.

Chen Xiaojiao trembled all over, a strange feeling rising in her heart. She stammered, "Dongge, don't be reckless. I'll go get you some tea."

"Ha ha~"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Zhang Dong sat on the sofa with a swagger, drinking the fragrant tea Chen Xiaojiao served, and looked at her with an invasive gaze, saying, "Wife, you won't welsh on the deal, right?"

"Who is your wife?" Chen Xiaojiao said gloomily.

"Of course, it's Chen Xiaojiao," Zhang Dong said teasingly.

"You bad person, you've been pretending for three years, and at the last moment, you tricked me. This is cheating, it doesn't count," Chen Xiaojiao said angrily.

"Lost is lost, don't make up excuses. From today on, you are my wife, and you belong to me for life. As for Gao Qian, she is Liu Kui's wife from today on, got it?" Zhang Dong said with a commanding tone.

"Wife, hehe, I didn't expect you to be here too. I'm so happy," Liu Kui took the opportunity to walk up to Gao Qian and chat her up.

The two beauties were flustered, unsure of what to do.

"Wife, come, let's go out," Zhang Dong said as he stood up.

"Where are we going?" Chen Xiaojiao's face changed.

"Of course, to get a room. Didn't you promise to consummate the marriage today?" Zhang Dong said with a smile.

"Ah, I'll fight you to the death," Chen Xiaojiao was furious, charging at Zhang Dong with her claws out, launching a fierce attack.

"What a fierce wife..." Zhang Dong easily dodged, occasionally patting Chen Xiaojiao's shoulder or pinching her waist.

Immediately, the hall echoed with laughter.

Just as they were laughing and joking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Chen's father and mother stepped in with stern faces.

Everyone quickly stopped laughing, their faces turning anxious.

"Xiaojiao, what are you doing?" Chen's father asked sternly.

"Dad, it's a class reunion," Chen Xiaojiao signaled to Zhang Dong and the other classmates to leave quickly.

Everyone understood and tried to slip away, but Chen's father blocked the door and asked, "Is this a class reunion? What about the wife and getting a room? I heard it all downstairs."

"Uncle Chen, you misunderstood. We're creating a skit," Zhang Dong argued.

"Yes, we're performing a skit," Chen Xiaojiao added.

"Performing a skit?" Chen's father looked suspicious, observing everyone for a while before asking, "Are you all so happy because you've all been accepted to good universities?"

"Yes, Dongge is the national top student, Xiaojiao scored 719 points, and we all scored over 650 points. We're celebrating, so we're creating a skit," Liu Kui said confidently.

"Are you the one who scored 742 points, the national top science student?" Chen's father was surprised, walking up to Zhang Dong and looking him up and down.

"Yes, by luck," Zhang Dong smiled.

"Good child, truly a good child," Chen's mother also walked up, looking at Zhang Dong as if he were a son-in-law, "Stay for dinner."

"Thank you, Auntie, no need," Zhang Dong quickly declined.

But Chen's father insisted, pulling Zhang Dong to the sofa and inviting the other classmates to sit down, engaging in a lively conversation.

Zhang Dong, Liu Kui, and all the classmates put on a facade of being good children, responding flawlessly.

Soon, Chen's father learned that Zhang Dong came from a rural area, not poor but not wealthy either, and sighed, "Boys should indeed be raised in poverty. No wonder you have such good grades and are so simple."

Everyone almost burst out laughing. Zhang Dong simple? He's a troublemaker from the countryside, and his good grades? He's always been the worst in class. This time, he became the national top student, who knows what's going on.

Chen's father touched Zhang Dong's strong arms in amazement, saying, "So solid, the result of exercise, right?"

"Yes, Uncle Chen, I love sports. I exercise a little every day and a lot every three days," Zhang Dong smiled.

"Good child, truly a good child," Chen's father and mother sighed in unison, not knowing that Zhang Dong's "exercise" was actually fighting.

Liu Kui, trying hard not to laugh, interjected, "Dongge has lofty ideals, wanting to be the best architect and build the most beautiful harem."

"Being an architect is good, a great ideal. But what is a harem?" Chen's father and mother couldn't understand the meaning of "harem" or the great ideals of this 90s crazy youth.

Zhang Dong glared at Liu Kui and lied, "Uncle Chen, a harem is a building constructed by future generations, comparable to the Great Wall and the Forbidden City."

"Good, good, ambitious," Chen's father slapped his thigh, praising.

"Hehehe~"

Chen Xiaojiao and Gao Qian couldn't hold back their laughter, shaking with laughter. Liu Kui and the other classmates also burst out laughing, and even Zhang Dong was secretly laughing. Chen's father was too simple.

Not daring to stay longer or say more, Zhang Dong and the classmates found an opportunity to leave.

Chen's father and mother liked them very much and asked Chen Xiaojiao to see them off.

The classmates dispersed after leaving Chen Xiaojiao's house.

Zhang Dong, of course, wouldn't let Chen Xiaojiao go home so easily, holding her hand and walking intimately down the street.

Chen Xiaojiao was endlessly shy, pouting, "Dongge, where are you taking me?"

"Of course, to get a room," Zhang Dong said with a strange smile.

Chen Xiaojiao stumbled, almost falling, and said in panic, "Dongge, next time, okay?"

"Didn't you say you would consummate the marriage today?" Zhang Dong asked sternly.

"Yes, but today, my period started," Chen Xiaojiao said boldly.

"Lying, your period ended the day before yesterday," Zhang Dong said with a strange smile.

"How do you know?" Chen Xiaojiao looked at Zhang Dong in surprise, as if he were a monster.

"I'm your husband, of course I know," Zhang Dong stopped in front of a hotel, about to step inside.

"Are you really going to get a room?" Chen Xiaojiao was completely flustered.

"Of course, are you coming or not?"

"Fine, but, Dongge, do you have the money to get a room?" Chen Xiaojiao's eyes twinkled.

"No, I don't," Zhang Dong scratched his head.

"Then, to your place?" Chen Xiaojiao felt relieved, teasing.

"No, if I go home, my dad will break my legs," Zhang Dong muttered, shaking his head, "Let's do it next time. Walk with me for a while."

The two started walking, passing by a quiet park, and Zhang Dong led Chen Xiaojiao inside.

"Dongge, I want to go home," Chen Xiaojiao panicked again.

"Just wait a moment." Zhang Dong pulled her to a big tree, hugged her without hesitation, and gazed at her beautiful face, slowly leaning in to kiss her.

"Help~"

Chen Xiaojiao shouted in panic, but her body had already gone limp in Zhang Dong's arms, her eyes slightly closed, looking like a delicate flower ready to be tasted.

Just as Zhang Dong was about to kiss her, he suddenly stopped because a big man and four subordinates rushed over like a whirlwind, and without a word, a fist the size of a bowl hit Zhang Dong's shoulder with a strong wind.

"Where did this lunatic come from?" Zhang Dong, holding Chen Xiaojiao, dodged to the side.
