Chapter 273: Chapter 201 Protecting Wife / Arrogant Duo (Two in One Big Chapter)_2

Zhou Mikang then picked up a bottle of white spirit from the edge of the table, "I’ll spare you, but you have to drink this bottle in one go."

Getting drunk is better than embarrassing yourself like this! He isn’t the bride, after all. Speaking of which, Third Brother is too harsh. Had he never noticed before that aside from a foul temper, Third Brother was this sly?

Qiao Jingjun complained inwardly, grabbing the bottle without any hesitation, tilting his head back, and gulping down the potent liquor, "glug glug," right into his stomach.

The moment he put down the bottle, he started to sway and then, without a word, "thud," he collapsed onto the bed and passed out.

Zhou Mikang waved his hand in disgust, "Take him away, take him away, is that a bed for him to lie on?"

"Exactly, exactly, this is Third Brother’s and third sister-in-law’s new bed, how can we let him mess it up?" Luo Gaoqiang joined in the teasing as he stepped forward, his face lit up with eagerness.

"Looks like you want to drink some too," Zhou Mikang patted his shoulder, "Brother is kind enough to advise you, your liquor tolerance can’t compare to Jingjun’s, better not embarrass yourself."

"Third Brother, are you looking down on people now?" Luo Gaoqiang, standing around six feet tall with dark skin, grinned, showing his strikingly white teeth.

Zhou Mikang looked at him leisurely, "What do you want to play?"

Hiding behind Zhou Mikang, Chuxia wore an excited expression. Earlier, her mother-in-law, Lin Yanqiu, had given her a heads-up, saying the more people made a fuss, the happier the newlyweds would be, so she shouldn’t be annoyed by the disruptions. It’s good to indulge them somewhat—it would not only build a good reputation but also bring good luck.

Originally, she thought she would have to suffer a bit, but as it turned out, it was others who ended up suffering, which was a pleasant surprise for her!

"Third Brother, we are supposed to make a scene in the bridal chamber. The whole point is to cause a stir. If you don’t let us, what’s the fun in that?"

"When did I say I wouldn’t let you?"

"You..." Luo Gaoqiang just chuckled, "With what you just did, it was clear you weren’t letting us."

Earlier, when Qiao Jingjun stepped up, Zhou Mikang had insisted that making a scene in the bridal chamber must be fair, and it couldn’t be one-sided. The method was to decide the outcomes by arm wrestling, and the loser had to act out the prank they intended for the bride and groom.

Qiao Jingjun, thinking he was tall and strong and currently in training, thought beating Zhou Mikang would be no problem, so he took up the challenge. But in the end... It ended up with Qiao Jingjun himself demonstrating what he wanted the bride to do.

Now, Luo Gaoqiang, having learned the lesson, used this to provoke Zhou Mikang.

"I’m not stopping you from making a fuss. I’m stopping you from making an undue fuss. You can tease my wife, but first, you must get past me. No matter how others set their rules, in my house, you must follow my rules."

The way Zhou Mikang protectively stood up for Chuxia made Luo Gaoqiang gape in surprise for a while, then he gave a thumbs up. "Third Brother, I respect you. Among our circle of friends, none dare to speak like that. If this gets out, those in the know will say you’re looking out for third sister-in-law, and those who don’t will think you’re afraid of her."

"Is there a difference between defending and being afraid?"

"..." Luo Gaoqiang didn’t know what to say with his straightforward attitude, finding himself tongue-tied and unable to find suitable words to argue, so he turned his pleading eyes to the crowd around them.

A handsome young man then spoke up, "Let’s move on to the next activity, come on, bring the apples."

Clearly, his idea was, if they couldn’t tease just the bride, they should choose a traditional game and have both the bride and groom join in the fun.

This time, Zhou Mikang didn’t offer any objections. Chuxia also moved forward cooperatively, reciprocating the gesture. Zhou Mikang had supported her, and she would naturally protect his dignity. Being shy? For her, from the 21st century, was that even an issue?

Once the apple was hung, Luo Gaoqiang intentionally kept shaking his wrist, but was Zhou Mikang clumsy? He timed it right; he bit the apple in one go, leaving no chance for Luo Gaoqiang to shake it... If it weren’t for the fact that not making a fuss in the bridal chamber would be considered bad luck, he wouldn’t bother doing such childish things—and would rather throw the whole lot out! Awkward~

After repeatedly losing at these harmless traditional challenges, the crowd retreated to one side, heads together, plotting their next move. They were discussing, having not succeeded in teasing the bride and groom, they were the ones being made fools of—did they still want to save face?

Taking advantage of the situation, Luo Xiaoqiong and Zhou Huakang, who had been kept out of the circle, quickly moved to protect the bride and groom on either side.
