Chapter 116: Chapter 116: The Flowered Boxers of the Crusty Man
Su Xiaoxiao’s scalp tingled, and she reflexively grabbed the person’s arm and threw them over her shoulder, slamming them to the ground.
A miserable shout echoed, followed by a delicate female voice: "Wenbing brother, it’s me."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly lit the oil lamp in the room, finally realizing that the person who had been messing with her was Yang Chunyan.
Yang Chunyan hadn’t yet realized what was wrong, wearing only a thin top and with her hair down, she propped herself up: "Wenbing brother, it hurts, can you help me up..."
Su Xiaoxiao awkwardly scratched her head and walked over to help her up.
This Yang Chunyan too, why didn’t she light a lamp in the middle of the night?
Yang Village hasn’t installed electricity yet, so oil lamps are still mainly used for lighting.
Under the flickering flame, Yang Chunyan’s gaze fell on the fair hand holding her arm, and her expression froze with surprise as she looked up: "Su Xiaoxiao? Why is it you? Where’s your brother?"
"Oh, my brother thinks it’s inappropriate for a man and woman to meet late at night, so he asked me to come and see what you wanted to say. By the way, he wanted me to tell you he’s no longer interested in you, so let’s drop the marriage thing."
Yang Chunyan was incredulous: "How could that be? He clearly said before he wanted to marry me! And we almost..."
Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips: "You almost did, but it didn’t happen. Your family deemed mine too poor, and wouldn’t be like this otherwise. Since you look down on my family, could you stop pestering my brother, ok?"
"What’s ’ok’?"
Yang Chunyan looked confused.
"Alright, since you have nothing to say, I’ve delivered my message and I’ll leave."
After delivering her message, Su Xiaoxiao turned to open the door, but before she could touch it, the door suddenly banged open by someone kicking it from outside.
If she hadn’t reacted quickly, she would have been smacked out by the door panel.
"Alright, Su Wenbing, sneaking around at night with plans against my daughter? I’ll kill you, you shameless thing!"
As she spoke, Sun Ailan stormed inside with a group of people, and as soon as they entered, a scream was heard.
Yang Chunyan, panicking, pulled a nearby blanket to cover her key areas.
Seeing this, Sun Ailan smiled; Su Wenbing was indeed foolish enough to fall for a little trick.
But why wasn’t the person on the bed?
Sun Ailan was puzzled and turned to see Su Xiaoxiao smiling beside her.
Wait, why did Su Wenbing bring his sister here to see Chunyan, that’s just crazy?
But even if he brought his sister, so what?
She would just insist Su Wenbing was bullying her daughter and had his sister keep watch outside, who wouldn’t say it was outrageous?
"Su Wenbing, you shameless hooligan, hurry up and get out here, watch me beat you to death!"
Before Sun Ailan could finish cursing, Yang Chunyan kept shaking her head desperately, leaving Sun Ailan puzzled as she approached: "Chunyan, why are you still protecting that rascal at a time like this?"
Yang Chunyan was almost in tears: "Mom, please ask Uncle and the others to leave, I need to talk to you."
"We’re all family, what can’t be said aloud? Spill it."
Yang Chunyan gritted her teeth: "Tonight, it wasn’t Su Wenbing who came, it was his sister Su Xiaoxiao."
Su Xiaoxiao cheerfully greeted her: "Ailan Auntie, what are you up to? Why do you say my brother’s here?"
Sun Ailan’s expression froze, not expecting things to turn out like this.
But she quickly reacted: "Sorry, my old eyes didn’t see clearly, if there’s nothing else, everyone just disperse."
Thus, the misunderstanding concluded.
Sun Ailan, with a sullen face, escorted Su Xiaoxiao out, slamming the door shut. As she did so, she heard a cracking sound, like something breaking.
She slowly looked up to see a long crack running through the door frame.
Damn, what kind of luck is this today?
Su Xiaoxiao returned home and shared the recent events with Su Wenbing and Liu Cuilan.
Su Wenbing was incredulous: "Why would they do that?"
"For what other reason, it’s called a honey trap."
Su Xiaoxiao took a large sip of water and spoke leisurely.
"What’s a honey trap?"
Su Wenbing and Liu Cuilan looked bewildered.
"They set you up to catch you and Sister Chunyan doing something... then force you to marry her."
Hearing this explanation, they immediately understood.
"I can’t believe she would do such a thing."
Su Wenbing was indignant, having always thought Yang Chunyan was simple, but ending up just like her mom.
"You learn from your mistakes, brother, better be cautious in the future, beautiful women can be deceitful."
Su Wenbing: "..."
Why did he feel that his third sister seemed even prettier than Yang Chunyan?
Su Xiaoxiao patted Su Wenbing on the shoulder with an air of wisdom and turned to leisurely head to her room, looking like someone with profound insight.
Once she closed the door, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t wait to dash into the room; she had more important things to do.
She carefully washed her hands three times until they smelled fragrant, then folded her hands devoutly and murmured: "Respected Jade Emperor, Queen Mother of the West, Guanyin of the South Sea... please bless me to win a jackpot, please!"
She recited all the divine names she knew, her breath sinking to her abdomen, opening the game interface with a solemn face.
Sure enough, several eye-catching words were shining on the game interface: Congratulations player, you’ve won a lottery chance.
Su Xiaoxiao eagerly clicked on it, her breath catching as she saw the lottery interface.
The previous "Five-Year College Entrance Exams, Three-Year Mock Tests" had disappeared, but in its place was something even more bizarre. "What the heck is this flowered boxer shorts of a burly man?"
She felt like collapsing; just who came up with such a ludicrous prize?
Normally, shouldn’t the previously drawn item be deleted right away? Why was something even stranger mixed in?
She really wanted to swear, but seeing the lottery countdown on the game interface, she reluctantly pressed the draw button.
As expected, it was no surprise that her unlucky hand hit precisely the flowered boxer shorts.
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
Her heart, which had been tense all night, sank completely.
The next day at work, Su Xiaoxiao was under a low-pressure atmosphere.
"Xiaoxiao, what’s wrong? Is it because of the training yesterday?"
Zhang Yulan noticed her low spirits since the morning and thought it was due to the training yesterday.
"Don’t bother with them, just do your job, if necessary go talk to Manager Xu, they just bully you because you’re new."
"Sister Zhang, I’m fine, it’s just that I didn’t sleep well last night."
Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly explained, seeing Zhang Yulan’s indignant expression.
It was true; she hadn’t slept well because she got that outrageous pair of underwear.
If it had been women’s underwear, she wouldn’t have been so bothered.
Zhang Yulan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this; Su Xiaoxiao’s good temperament was why she might get bullied.
Just as she thought this, her gaze fell on Su Xiaoxiao, feeling something seemed not quite right.
