Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 1142 True Proof (18)

A table full of delicious dishes left Wang Chen with a full stomach.

Wang Zhengyang, having little ambition in his official career, was a content person who had developed decent cooking skills to feed the women at home.

During the meal, he enthusiastically served Wang Chen food, making Wang Xiaomeng jealous.

After finishing this sumptuous dinner, Wang Xiaomeng immediately acted coquettishly towards Wang Chen, "Brother, don’t you have any gifts for me?"

Wang Chen smiled and playfully pinched her small nose: "Let’s go buy it now, you can choose whatever you like!"

Looking at his charming sister, Wang Chen couldn’t help but remember the toughest time in his senior year of high school when Wang Xiaomeng, not knowing from where she had heard of his situation, had given him her entire piggy bank.

Inside it was several thousand dollars!

Wang Xiaomeng smiled from ear to ear: "Let’s go to Yintai."

Tian Wenxiu frowned: "Wang Xiaomeng!"

She did not like her daughter asking Wang Chen for gifts, even if it was just out of sibling affection.

Wang Xiaomeng pursed her lips in a pout.

"It’s okay."

Wang Zhengyang indulgently said: "You siblings haven’t seen each other for a long time, go out and have fun, but remember to come back before ten."

Compared to the strict Tian Wenxiu, he was more lenient towards his daughter. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

And he enjoyed seeing Wang Xiaomeng and Wang Chen getting along.

"Thanks, Dad!"

Wang Xiaomeng was overjoyed, hugging Wang Zhengyang’s arm and showering him with flattery: "Love you!"

Wang Zhengyang happily patted his daughter on the head.

Wang Xiaomeng, fearing delays might complicate things, quickly dragged Wang Chen away, leaving dear old dad alone to face their somber mom.

The siblings left the neighborhood and hailed a taxi on the roadside to head for Yintai City.

Yintai City is one of the largest and busiest malls in the provincial city, offering everything from dining, entertainment, to upscale shops.

Inside the mall, Wang Chen asked, "Xiaomeng, what do you want to buy?"

Wang Xiaomeng already had an answer to this question: "I want to buy a Casio digital watch, we can’t bring phones into school, and my old watch is so outdated, I’ve been wanting to replace it!"

"Okay."

So, Wang Chen took her to the Casio boutique on the first floor of Yintai.

However, they argued over the choice of watches.

Wang Xiaomeng wanted to buy a digital watch that only cost a few hundred, while Wang Chen chose one for her that cost more than a thousand.

"I am your brother, you have to listen to me!"

Wang Chen didn’t argue further and simply told the shop assistant: "Go ahead and do the billing."

The shop assistant smiled and said: "Okay."

She then turned to Wang Xiaomeng and said: "Your brother is really good to you!"

Wang Xiaomeng proudly responded: "Of course."

In the end, they bought the more expensive digital watch with more features for over a thousand.

Wang Xiaomeng delightedly wore it on her wrist and sweetly said to Wang Chen: "Thank you, brother. I’ll get you a watch for your birthday too."

Only then did Wang Chen remember that his birthday was coming in half a month.

He didn’t say much, just smiled and said: "Okay."

"Wang Xiaomeng?"

Just then, a surprised voice suddenly came from beside them: "What are you doing here?"

Wang Chen and Wang Xiaomeng both turned their heads, seeing a group of boys and girls by the elevator, with a T-shirt-clad boy’s eyes wide open: "Is this your boyfriend?"

His companions all looked awkward.

"Why can’t I be here?"

Wang Xiaomeng wrinkled her nose, responding discontentedly: "Sun Baiyun, what nonsense are you talking about, this is my brother, my real brother!"

Cousin is also a real brother, a true family member.

"I didn’t even know you had a brother."

The T-shirted youth scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "Sorry, I misunderstood. By the way, didn’t you check the class group? Zhang Yumeng has booked a large private room at Planet KTV on the sixth floor and invited all our classmates to hang out!"

"Tian Tian is already there, you should come too."

"I didn’t see it."

Wang Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I need to accompany my brother, so I won’t go. You guys have fun."

Although Tian Tian was her best friend, Zhang Yumeng was her nemesis, especially with Wang Chen around.

"Oh no!"

The T-shirted youth stubbornly approached her and persuaded, "Wang Xiaomeng, we’ve been classmates for three years, everyone has graduated now, whatever grudges there were, they’re all in the past. Why hold onto them?"

"Let me have Tian Tian talk to you."

And his companion, who was also Wang Xiaomeng’s classmate, followed up with persuasion: "Yes, let bygones be bygones, we’re all good friends!"

Wang Xiaomeng was not a person with a strong resolve, and the collective persuasion made her very hesitant.

Soon her phone rang again.

"Tian Tian?"

"Yeah, I ran into Sun Baiyun and others."

"Oh dear, I’m with my brother!"

"Then I’ll ask him..."

Standing nearby, Wang Chen heard everything clearly, so without waiting for Wang Xiaomeng to ask, he directly said, "It’s fine, you go with your classmates. I’ll go watch a movie and come back to pick you up at 9:30. Call if there’s anything."

The intent of Wang Xiaomeng’s classmates was to have her brother join them upstairs too.

But what fun would Wang Chen have with a bunch of kids?

Wang Xiaomeng felt somewhat guilty, feeling it would be rude to just leave Wang Chen behind, but ultimately she couldn’t go against her group of classmates.

Thus, the two temporarily went their separate ways.

Wang Chen wandered alone through Yintai City and then bought a box of tokens in the arcade on the third floor, thoroughly enjoying a variety of games and even recapturing some of the joy from his younger days.

Having a lot of fun and still many game tokens left, he went to play the claw machine.

The claw machines in the arcade were devious, with catch probabilities set by the operators. Skilled players could use observation to find opportunities, but ordinary people just had to rely on luck.

Wang Chen had often been tricked by this before and had held a grudge.

But now, an opportunity for revenge had arrived!

Under his control, the claw of the claw machine precisely grabbed one toy after another, hardly ever missing.

Even if the claw was set loose, with the boost of spiritual energy, he could still grab them up.

Wang Chen didn’t just settle for one machine; after grabbing one toy, he would switch machines, quickly accumulating more toys than he could hold in both hands.

Then he went to the front desk to get a big plastic bag and continued grabbing.

He felt very happy.

Although this happiness was somewhat shallow and actually came from cheating, it was thrilling nonetheless!

Due to his incredible performance, quite a few kids who couldn’t grab a toy gathered around to watch, intermittently letting out childish exclamations and cheers.

With such a crowd supporting him, Wang Chen was generous, deciding to give all the toys he grabbed to them.

Then he had a string of kids following him.

And just as Wang Chen used his last game token, his phone suddenly rang.

The call was from Wang Xiaomeng, and her voice was very flustered, "Brother, where are you? Can you come over now, I’m in private room 188 at Planet KTV on the sixth floor!"

Wang Chen’s heart sank, and he immediately said, "I’ll be right there!"
