Chapter 201: Chapter 179 I... go

Huh? Wait, seems like there’s something odd here.

Xiaoxiao snorted with laughter, "Brother-in-law, a weasel wishing the chicken a happy new year surely has no good intentions, and it’s got nothing to do with not visiting unless there’s something important."

Li Chen shrugged, "Whatever, you’re all set anyway. Go ahead, what do you want from me? Let me make it clear, if it’s to ask for help, count me out; if it’s to drag race, count me out; and if it’s to see beautiful women, definitely count me out."

Li Chen turned around, joking to himself that he had already been duped by Xiaoxiao. That time she asked for help, he ended up taking the Sanda Club’s place; that driving stint almost scared him to death; and as for seeing beauties, that pool incident was nothing but trouble.

Plus, Xiaoxiao was his sister-in-law. If it was another woman, he might have had some other thoughts, although Li Chen had fantasized about both sisters together. But the timing wasn’t right yet.

So, going out with Xiaoxiao was just trouble for nothing. Li Chen had this figured out already, so this time, he absolutely wouldn’t go.

"Brother-in-law, this time I’m not asking for help, nor dragging you to race, nor taking you to see beauties." Xiaoxiao stepped in front of Li Chen, and seeing him about to turn away again, she quickly grabbed his shoulder, "Brother-in-law, this time I’m taking you to see a lion."

A lion?

Li Chen yawned, "Not interested, find someone else."

"Oh come on, brother-in-law, this lion is different," Xiaoxiao hurriedly said.

"How is it different? Two heads? Eight legs? That would be a spider then," Li Chen laughed out loud. Just a lion, he didn’t know how many he had ’slain’ before, what’s there to see, not even as good as dogs.

"Brother-in-law, the lion this time, the zoo got it from Africa," Xiaoxiao explained, "and today is the African lion’s debut, we must go!"

"African lion?" Li Chen found a spot to sit down, and Xiaoxiao sat beside him, "A lion that travelled all the way from Africa by ship has probably turned into a cat, what’s there to see?"

Xiaoxiao: "..."

"Brother-in-law, just come with me, please," Xiaoxiao bit her lip, resorting to her killer move.

Seeing Xiaoxiao pulling this move again, Li Chen inwardly chuckled bitterly.

Seeing Li Chen not responding, Xiaoxiao’s eyes twinkled and she smiled, "Brother-in-law, if you don’t accompany me this time, think carefully about the consequences."

"Consequences?" Li Chen lazily picked up a cup of water from the table, "What consequences? I’ve seen all your so-called consequences, don’t bring them up again, I’m definitely not falling for it."

"Really?" Xiaoxiao stood up, "I feel my bed isn’t comfortable, my sister’s bed is a bit more comfortable, and sleeping with her, I feel my sleep quality has really improved. I’ve decided, I’ll sleep with my sister for the next month, she certainly won’t mind, right, brother-in-law?"

"Pff!"

The water Li Chen had just sipped spurted out, holy crap, was she playing this hard?

Looking up, he saw Xiaoxiao’s face filled with a mischievous grin, that smile brimming with a sense of small triumph.

Li Chen wanted to say something, but felt choked up, unable to speak.

"So, have you decided, brother-in-law?" Xiaoxiao’s face was smug, "Want me to add a few more days?"

"I—" Li Chen seemed about to explode, but then he clenched his fists and let out a sigh, "Fine, let’s go!"

...

Linchuan Zoo!

The zoo was particularly lively today, bustling with people. On the left, a family of three walked by with a child; on the right, an elderly couple strolled past; directly ahead, a couple walked hand in hand.

Li Chen walked with his hands in his pockets, while Xiaoxiao held onto his arm, exclaiming excitedly, "Wow, look at the peacock fanning its tail, brother-in-law, look! Brother-in-law, that’s a koala, so cute!"

But Li Chen didn’t even lift his head, "Xiaoxiao, did you absolutely have to drag me here because it’s full of couples?"

Indeed, most of those passing by were couples; these days, being single anywhere felt like an insult.

Xiaoxiao pouted, "Nonsense, it’s just that you were free, so I asked you to come."

Xiaoxiao clung to Li Chen’s arm, scanning around eagerly, and when she spotted a snack stand, she couldn’t help but get excited: "Wow, Sugar-Coated Hawthorn!"

As Li Chen walked slowly, suddenly Xiaoxiao pulled him over.

"Master, two sticks!" Xiaoxiao, smiling brightly, handed over the money.

Li Chen felt relieved, at least his sister-in-law knew to buy two sticks, not bad.

Xiaoxiao took the Sugar-Coated Hawthorn, and just as Li Chen reached out to take a stick, he saw Xiaoxiao bite into both sticks at once.

"Mmm, so tasty, it’s so authentic," Xiaoxiao’s cheeks were stuffed, her eyes curved up with delight. Suddenly, seeing Li Chen with one hand stretched out in mid-air, frozen there, she curiously asked, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

What, what, what else could I be doing, but straightening my clothes, of course.

Li Chen withdrew his hand, internally speechless to the extreme, his embarrassment unspeakable.

"Then let’s go see the lion," Xiaoxiao munched on her Sugar-Coated Hawthorn, continuing forward.

Li Chen followed behind with a glum expression, unaware that a smug smile was forming on Xiaoxiao’s lips, filled with the same triumph as before.

For some reason, seeing Li Chen discomfited brought joy to Xiaoxiao’s heart.

Li Chen was led by Xiaoxiao towards a large enclosure.

The zoo staff had already arranged the scenery to resemble the African environment inside the enclosure.

Around the enclosure, many people had gathered, all there to see the African lion.

"Brother-in-law, the lion is about to come out," Xiaoxiao chirped, her Sugar-Coated Hawthorn nearly finished.

Xiaoxiao being from Yanjing naturally adored Sugar-Coated Hawthorn.

Under everyone’s gaze, a staff member opened the cage, and instantly, a grey-brown-maned lion entered the enclosure.

"Wow, it’s out, it’s out," Xiaoxiao shouted excitedly.
