Chapter 374: Gathering (Part One)
When Old Zhou and the other five were taken to stretchers onto ambulances, Old Zhou said as he looked at Xu Cheng, his vision all blurred, “Just you wait… if something happens to me, you are done!”
The paramedic pushed his stretcher as he put on an oxygen mask for him and said, “Alright, stop talking. You are in a hypoxic state right now.”
“Hypo my azz!” Old Zhou swore at the paramedic and he temporarily took off the mask, pointed at Xu Cheng, and said, “You have successfully… angered me.”
Xu Cheng took out his certificate that said he had a severe mental illness and said, “I’m sorry, I don’t know what just happened. I think I have intermittent amnesia.”
Puuuuf!
After Old Zhou coughed up three liters of blood, he fell onto the stretcher and was carried away by the paramedics.
Those club members behind them were all laughing hard.
Xu Cheng looked as the ambulances drove away and asked Ye Xiu, “Will I be fine?”
Ye Xiu laughed and said, “Don’t worry, Old Zhou didn’t even get to touch you and he passed out twice in one day. He’s obviously a bit butt-hurt. When he’s completely awake, he will come and find you.”
Xu Cheng curiously asked, “Find me to do what?”
Ye Xiu: “To be your friend, of course. Didn’t I say that I’m introducing a few friends to you? They are just like this, you have to beat them up for them to recognize you. They are even more prideful than those princelings.”
Xu Cheng rolled his eyes. “I don’t think so, I humiliated them too much, and I will be thanking God already if they don’t come back to look for trouble with me. Let’s go, you guys still have to treat me to a good welcoming meal.”
– At night, inside a restaurant –
Xu Cheng, Ye Xiu, Bagh, Wang An, and a few other core members of the club sat around a big table. When the dishes were being served, the door of the room was opened, and Daoba, Li Xin, Zhang Chao, Liu Zhao, Tie Shi, and the others all arrived.
They spotted Xu Cheng right away after getting into the room, and they were so excited that they all began laughing and coming over to shake hands and greet Xu Cheng. They weren’t in a hurry to find a seat and sit down at all.
“Yoo, Young Master Ye gave me a call and told me that you, Old Xu, were here, and I thought that b—–d was just playing us. Little did I know that you were actually here! Holy crap, why didn’t you give us a call when you came? We almost missed it!”
Then, those guys all scrambled to grab a seat beside Xu Cheng, wanting to sit with him.
Xu Cheng laughed. “You guys are late.”
Tie Shi: “Well, Young Master Ye frequently toys with us, so we are all skeptical, and that’s why we were slow by a beat.”
Ye Xiu laughed and shouted, “Then why the fack did you guys still come?”
Zhang Chao chuckled and said, “Well, if you said someone else came, then we might’ve not shown up. But you said Old Xu’s here, so we thought that even if it might be a joke, we had to come over and check. What if it was true, right?’
Xu Cheng took out a box of beer from under the table and said, “Come, just stop talking already. Drink a bottle since you are late.”
Daoba and the others immediately popped those bottles open and downed them. After finishing, Tie Shi sat down beside Xu Cheng and began rambling, “Old Xu, how could you man? Were you still holding yourself back at the competition with us? We all saw your live-stream that day, and holy crap did you hurt our kokoro, really!”
Wang An laughed and said, “You really delivered a heavy blow to everyone watching.”
Li Xin: “Yeah, you are already too overpowered, and we accept that, but even your ability to get girls also delivered a fatal blow to us all. After the live stream that night, you don’t know how many bros went out and drank until we blacked out because at least a hundred bros we know were heartbroken. Say, why didn’t you bring your wife out to show us earlier? To be honest, we haven’t really seen Lin Chuxue up close yet, and normally, we heard that she rarely shows her face in public aside from business arrangements.”
