Tong Xin watched from the side, genuinely feeling bad for Jiang Wu Xi.
"How about I take this sister out for a bit?" she suggested.
"No, thank you. You eat. I'll be fine in a moment," Jiang Wu Xi forced out.
"This isn't going to work, is it? Do you have any anti-nausea medication?" Tong Xin asked.
"Don't add to the chaos. Eat quickly, and we'll head back once we're done.
I'll help Xiao Xi regulate herself, and she'll be fine.
Her pregnancy reactions were even worse than this before, yet she still managed to recover," Guo Xu Yang said.
Jiang Wu Xi was stunned to hear Guo Xu Yang say that.
She hadn't expected to be pregnant. What should she do now?
She looked up at Guo Xu Yang.
"It's alright, you'll be fine once you adjust," Guo Xu Yang comforted her.
"Xiao Xi, it's okay. As women, we all have to go through this eventually," Xu Li Ping said from the side.
"But I'm not ready yet," Jiang Wu Xi said, feeling a bit lost.
"It's not a big deal. So many university students get pregnant, have children, and then continue their studies.
If it really comes to it, we can just drop out of school. I'll support you," Guo Xu Yang said.
Jiang Wu Xi was touched by Guo Xu Yang's words.
"This lamb soup is really well-cooked. The broth is as white as milk. Try it while it's hot," Pi Xiao Qian called out.
"Serve a bowl for Xiao Xi first. Let her drink some clear broth; it will be good for her," Wang Yu said.
"Here, here, the first bowl goes to the big panda.
Brother Liang, you guys can serve yourselves. I won't serve you."
After Pi Xiao Qian served five or six bowls, he turned the large iron pot of lamb soup towards Lu Liang and the others.
"You fair-weather friend," Lu Liang said, pointing at him.
"Absolutely. Nothing is more important than my wife," Pi Xiao Qian chuckled.
By the time everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks, they realized they were all rubbing their stomachs.
"It was too delicious. I really can't eat any more. If I eat any more, I'll gain three pounds," Xiao Qi said.
"I think you ate at least five pounds this meal," Lu Liang retorted unhappily.
"Who wouldn't eat so much when Brother Yang found us such delicious food?
No wonder he told us to eat less back home.
If I had known this earlier, I would have rather starved than eaten instant noodles and had to put up with someone's temper."
"Say one more word. If you have the ability, spit out the instant noodles," Lu Liang was displeased.
"If I had that ability, I wouldn't be enduring your temper here."
"It's okay. You'll be free soon. Once you're back with Yang Zi, you won't be under my control anymore."
"Are you trying to be difficult, you brat? Talking like that.
Brothers, since it's this guy's wedding tomorrow, let's settle old scores and get revenge.
We can't let this guy take the bride home so smoothly," Xiao Qi instigated from the side.
"I agree with that. I second that," several people chimed in.
"It's fine. I'm the first one anyway. I don't believe you guys won't get married in the future. Don't let me catch an opportunity."
"Kid, still not admitting defeat? Don't you know you have to bow your head when you're under someone else's roof?"
"I am your instructor today, and I will be your instructor for life. Let's see who dares to step out of line tomorrow."
Guo Xu Yang couldn't stand it anymore.
"I'm talking to some people here. Don't be so arrogant. Tomorrow, we brothers really need to put on a few acts and stir up some trouble. We need to make some people admit defeat."
"Hey Yang Zi, why are you joining in the fun?" Lu Liang was unhappy.
"There are no superiors or inferiors during the three days of a wedding. Moreover, you are older than me. As a younger brother, I have to teach some people a lesson."
"If you go too far, I won't go to Ba Xi anymore."
"Oh, really? I was scared into behaving. If you guys don't go, it'll save me my airfare."
"Alright. My brothers, please spare me tomorrow.
If you ruin the wife I've finally managed to win over, I'll truly be beyond tears."
"Don't worry. Tomorrow, we brothers will snatch the bride for you, even if we have to steal her," Xiao Qi said from the side.
"However, this beef is really good.
As a big boss yourself, are you going to give these brothers some fresh meat like Brother Guo?"
"Why are you asking me when you should be asking Yang Zi?
This is Yang Zi's shop, so you should be asking Yang Zi."
"We've been eating and drinking with Brother Guo for two consecutive nights. No matter how thick-skinned we are, we can't just keep taking without giving," Xiao Qi said.
"You just said you were their instructor. Shouldn't you give your students some rewards?"
"Fine. Twenty pounds of beef each. Go to the kitchen to get it later."
"You just said this is Brother Guo's hotel. Shouldn't you show some appreciation?" Xiao Qi said, taking out his phone.
"Scan the code to pay."
"Even if I scan the code to pay, shouldn't I pay Yang Zi? What are you trying to do?"
"Do you think the chef will just let us take the meat from the kitchen without paying? We need to pay first so we can get it."
"I'm scared of you guys. I think you're just taking advantage of the situation."
"Heh heh heh. It's good that you understand. Sometimes, you have to pay to avoid trouble."
After Lu Liang transferred ten thousand yuan, Xiao Qi waved his hand and said loudly, "Tonight, we're going to party. Indulge until dawn."
"You guys party, but don't be late for the auspicious time," Guo Xu Yang said from the side.
"Don't worry, Brother Guo. You can trust these guys to get things done.
Brother Guo, we'll take our leave first. Thank you for your generous hospitality.
Don't forget to tell us brothers when you're back for the wedding feast."
"I will," Guo Xu Yang replied.
After they left, Pi Xiao Qian teased Lu Liang, "Hey Brother Liang, what kind of brothers are these you've made?
They're like bandits. They've extorted you again."
"These are my brothers, my life-and-death comrades. They're doing it on purpose. Let them have their fun." Lu Liang said.
"Sharing the same gun, sharing the same classroom, sharing the spoils, sharing the prostitutes – these are the four ironclad bonds between men.
I think you've covered all of them." Pi Xiao Qian said.
"We've only covered two of those four. Do you know which two?" Lu Liang asked, smiling at Pi Xiao Qian.
"Sharing the gun and sharing the spoils, right?"
"No. It's sharing the spoils and sharing the prostitutes."
"We're still here. Can you guys be more mindful of your conversation?" Wang Yu was unhappy.
"Do you think Fatty is a good person? He only became better after he met you. Cherish him well," Lu Liang said.
"I'll consider that. We'll get married after I meet his family."
"No need to meet his family. Let's fly to Ba Xi with Yang Zi first. When we get back, we'll tell them we're going on a destination wedding."
"I'm afraid your family might not acknowledge me then," Wang Yu said.
"As long as I acknowledge you, what does it matter if others don't? You're marrying me, not someone else."
