Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Table Tennis, First Update

"Senior Sister, I’ll explain everything to you in a moment," Chen Wei said as he scooped up Zhao Xinlian and stepped onto the shore. To make it easier, he naturally leaped right over Liu Mi’s head.

Liu Mi looked up just in time to see her eyes suddenly shrink in shock!

"Hey! Mi!" Seeing the situation, Su Yumei, no longer concerned about the affair between Chen Wei and Zhao Xinlian, hurriedly steadied Liu Mi to prevent her from drowning as well.

They could still hear Liu Mi muttering a word under her breath, still not having snapped back to reality.

Big...

After carrying Zhao Xinlian to the changing room at the entrance, Chen Wei wrapped a towel around his waist, covered Zhao Xinlian with a bathrobe, then used the fire escape to return to the hotel room to reduce the chance of running into other people.

This choice proved to be the right one.

After opening the door with his room card, Chen Wei carried Zhao Xinlian inside and laid her on the bed, ensuring she was covered with a blanket.

He then went to open the window to maintain good ventilation in the room.

It was just a case of staying in the water too long and feeling faint; a little rest and she would naturally recover without the need for acupuncture or any other treatment.

This incident showed that Zhao Xinlian seldom soaked in hot springs and her physique was not accustomed to it.

Once he was sure everything was fine, Chen Wei put the bathrobe back on and then quietly slept on the sun lounger on the balcony.

At this point, it wasn’t appropriate to return to the women’s-only hot spring to explain his and Zhao Xinlian’s situation to Su Yumei, was it?

When he had left with Zhao Xinlian, he indeed noticed that there was a pink sign at the entrance that hadn’t been there before.

"That must have been put up by a new staff member who hasn’t been on the job long."

Chen Wei could easily guess that with just his toes.

Luckily, he had bumped into Zhao Xinlian and could explain; if it had been someone else, no amount of talking would have cleared Chen Wei’s name, and he might have been branded a pervert.

Sitting for a while and seeing that Zhao Xinlian still hadn’t woken up, but the redness on her face had faded considerably, Chen Wei received a text from Su Yumei asking him to come to the restaurant downstairs for dinner.

After one more glance at Zhao Xinlian, Chen Wei left and headed to the restaurant to meet up with Su Yumei and Liu Mi.

"This!" Su Yumei, upon seeing Chen Wei’s arrival, raised her hand to signal him.

Chen Wei walked over, and unintentionally met Liu Mi’s gaze, but she quickly dodged, looking guilty as a thief.

Chen Wei didn’t pay too much attention and took a seat next to Su Yumei.

Seeing her looking around, he asked in confusion, "Senior Sister, what are you looking at?"

"Didn’t she come down with you?" Su Yumei asked as well.

"She’s still sleeping upstairs," Chen Wei answered truthfully.

"Why did you and she end up in the women’s-only hot spring? Did she seduce you?" Su Yumei asked further.

"No, it was a misunderstanding, a complete misunderstanding, Senior Sister, actually..." Chen Wei then explained the whole story in detail, recognizing that hiding the truth or lying would only make matters worse.

"So that’s how it is, you two really have a knack for ending up in these melodramatic situations," Su Yumei said.

"Senior Sister, please stop teasing me," Chen Wei replied with a wry smile.

"Alright, no more joking, let’s eat. I ordered a few dishes that you might like. If you don’t fancy them, feel free to order something else," Su Yumei picked up her chopsticks.

"No need, I like all of these," Chen Wei also took up his chopsticks and began to eat.

After all the commotion, he was indeed quite hungry.

Liu Mi didn’t speak, quietly enjoying her meal.

"Secretary Liu is surprisingly quiet today, did you also get dizzy from the hot spring? Do you need me to open a window for you, to get some fresh air?" Chen Wei joked.

"No need!" Liu Mi replied with more agitation than intended.

"Sorry." Noticing the gaze from Su Yumei as well as the other diners looking their way, Liu Mi apologized in a low voice, her face red with embarrassment.

Chen Wei looked at Su Yumei, puzzled.

Su Yumei glared at him, "Just eat your food, don’t talk."

"Oh." Chen Wei behaved quite obediently, feeling that it was best not to seek trouble at this time.

He could tell that, even though he had explained himself, Su Yumei was still upset about his existing connection with Zhao Xinlian.

After all, to Su Yumei, it was Zhao Xinlian’s presence that had caused her most beloved junior brother to endure three unimaginable years of suffering.

Above tens of thousands, yet mocked and humiliated for three whole years.

If it were Su Yumei herself, she absolutely couldn’t have endured it.

Therefore, she couldn’t imagine how Chen Wei had managed to get through these three years.

It was only natural for her to have some complaints about Zhao Xinlian.

Even though she knew that Zhao Xinlian had also faced a lot of gossip outside because of Chen Wei, who told her to be Chen Wei’s senior sister, instead of Zhao Xinlian’s?

Zhao Xinlian wasn’t without the right to refuse initially; that agreement wasn’t mandatory.

If she didn’t agree, their master would’ve found other things to continue testing Chen Wei.

A match in social status?

Ha, Su Yumei really couldn’t understand why everyone was stressing such a thing. Wasn’t it enough for two people to be happy together?

After finishing dinner.

Chen Wei suggested, "Senior sister, Secretary Liu, how about some post-dinner exercise?"

Post-dinner... exercise!

Liu Mi subconsciously took half a step back, hiding half her body behind Su Yumei.

Su Yumei looked towards the poster Chen Wei was looking at; walk three hundred meters to the left, and there’s a ping pong entertainment venue.

"I remember, Mi, you were part of the ping pong team in college, right? How about it? Feel like playing?" The night wasn’t young anymore, so Su Yumei had already decided not to go back to Fushan Residence and had messaged Lin Yibai in advance.

"I’m in!" Liu Mi had wanted to play ping pong with Su Yumei since a long time ago.

"Alright, let’s go."

...

Once they arrived at the venue, there were four ping pong tables.

But at the moment, there weren’t many people around.

"It’s rather quiet here," Su Yumei remarked as she picked up a ping pong racket.

Liu Mi said, "I think most people would probably still be enjoying the hot springs at this time."

Chen Wei went to the vending machine and bought three bottles of energy drinks, handing one to Su Yumei and another to Liu Mi, "Have a drink, it’ll help you."

"Oh, thank you." After all, Chen Wei meant well, so Liu Mi couldn’t really refuse.

After unscrewing the cap and taking a sip, the ice-cold drink truly did provide a lot of comfort.

At that moment, Su Yumei was already in position, "So, who will play with me first?"

"I will!" Liu Mi quickly put the cap back on the bottle and raised her hand to say.

Chen Wei showed gentlemanly decorum and didn’t compete with her, quietly sitting in the spectator’s seat, ready to watch two stunning women perform.

"President Su, do you need me to go easy on you?" Liu Mi asked with a smile

It was clear to see, she was really happy and looking forward to playing ping pong with Su Yumei.

"No need," Su Yumei waved her hand, "Also, work is over. We’re not at the office anymore, why do you still call me President Su?"

"Got it, Yumei," Liu Mi replied, stealing a glance at Chen Wei somewhat embarrassedly while saying this.

Afterward, the battle began.

Su Yumei served first.

Although Liu Mi said she wouldn’t go easy on Su Yumei, as an onlooker, Chen Wei could see very clearly that she was holding back, probably not even using half of her capabilities.

Chen Wei could even be sure, even if Liu Mi weren’t working as a secretary, but joined the national ping pong team, she could still achieve great results.

But the path one chooses is one’s own to walk, and Chen Wei couldn’t and didn’t need to intervene.

Since it was just for fun, it was best of three.

Liu Mi could have won easily, but instead, she let Su Yumei win two points, creating a close 3 to 2 victory scenario.

Chen Wei didn’t think Liu Mi was engaging in flattery; she simply wanted to spend more time playing with Su Yumei.

"Wei, stop spacing out. It’s your turn, come on over," Su Yumei called out while holding her racket.
