222: Chapter 222: Bro, Where’s the Reward You Promised?
After finishing her lecture, Tang Yuxin looked at the champion who was previously basking in cheers but now stood wilted in front of her like a deflated balloon.
Smirking, she winked playfully at Xiao Fei.
In those expressive, beautiful eyes, the aning was unmistakable…
As the elder sister-in-law, I’m like a second mother.
Isn’t this “mom” especially awe-inspiring?
Xiao Fei flicked Tang Yuxin lightly on the forehead, eliciting a coy pout from her.
Across from them, Xiao Jun shrugged.
His big brother and sister-in-law were great at everything, except for the way they had no regard for the setting or outsiders, launching into affectionate interactions wherever they pleased.
Tch…
Watching the deep affection between his brother and sister-in-law, Xiao Jun suddenly felt a pang, thinking maybe it was ti to find himself a girlfriend too.
But then he quickly recalled Tang Yuxin’s earlier advice, steadied himself, and pushed aside the idea of romance.
Hmph, won.
They’d only slow down my sword strokes!
Esports doesn’t need girlfriends!
“Oh, right!
Brother, sister-in-law, our team’s celebration is coming up.
We’re heading out for a al—how about you join us?”
“We’ll pass.”
Xiao Fei waved dismissively.
“We’re not part of your team—it wouldn’t be appropriate to crash your celebration.
Besides, if I go… your manager will likely feel awkward the entire ti.”
If Xiao Fei really showed up, the celebration would undoubtedly shift in tone.
Xiao Jun wasn’t a clueless kid anymore; he could clearly sense the special treatnt his team extended toward him.
In all fairness, despite being a teenage prodigy in esports—exceptionally skilled with enormous potential—he knew he wasn’t extraordinary enough to warrant this level of attention from the team.
All of it stemd from Xiao Fei.
Hearing what Xiao Fei said, Xiao Jun felt a bit disappointed but didn’t press the issue.
“By the way, while celebrating, I won’t stop you from drinking, but don’t get drunk.”
“I got it.”
“You’re famous now, but the more well-known you are, the more you need to watch your words and actions.
A single careless move can land you under the spotlight, scrutinized by everyone with a magnifying glass.”
“I understand!
Don’t worry, Brother!
I won’t mouth off on social dia, let myself go, or slack off in training…”
“Also, no chasing fans.”
“Husband, what on earth are you babbling about?”
Tang Yuxin imdiately smacked Xiao Fei’s arm.
Xiao Jun, sitting across from them, was shocked into silence, staring wide-eyed before quickly shaking his head.
“No, no, no…
Big Brother!
You’re my dear big brother!
I’d never ever do sothing like that!”
Xiao Fei snorted coldly.
“Don’t think I don’t know what’s on the mind of n your age.
I’ve been there—not that long ago, in fact.”
“Once you achieve fa and success, it’s all about clubs and models…
You dare say you and your teammates haven’t joked about this during idle chatter?”
“…”
Sure enough, Xiao Jun stayed silent.
“I can’t control what others do, but if you go down that path—using your current achievents to mingle with sketchy won…”
Xiao Fei sneered.
“I’ll break your legs.”
As he said this, Xiao Fei’s gaze locked firmly on the area between Xiao Jun’s legs.
Clearly, he wasn’t referring to the ordinary kind of legs.
Xiao Jun, terrified, shook his head fervently.
Tang Yuxin, standing nearby, rolled her eyes at Xiao Fei repeatedly.
After bidding Xiao Jun goodbye, Xiao Fei didn’t bother to greet anyone else and simply left with Tang Yuxin and their kids.
On the drive ho, Tang Yuxin glanced at the rear seat, where their three babies lay asleep in the children’s car seats.
Turning her head, she looked at Xiao Fei with a sly smile.
“Hus~~~band~~~~”
“Mm…?”
Xiao Fei was instantly overco with goosebumps, thanks to Tang Yuxin’s deliberately elongated, syrupy voice dripping with playful charm.
“What is it?” he asked.
“While you were lecturing Xiao Jun earlier, what was it you said?
Oh~~~ you admitted you’ve been through that age too.
So, tell , husband…
does that an you *once* fantasized about clubs and models too?”
“Absolutely not~!”
Xiao Fei’s face turned severe, casting an air of righteousness all over him.
“Who knows?”
Tang Yuxin snorted softly.
When they arrived ho, the babies were still asleep.
Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin carried the kids into their bedroom, tucked them in, and each planted a kiss on their foreheads.
Only then did the couple leave the room.
Having spent half the day outside, Tang Yuxin felt a bit worn out.
Stretching lazily, her curvaceous figure was revealed in all its splendor.
“I’m tired.
I’ll take a bath and go to bed.”
With that, she headed toward the bedroom.
But not far in, she suddenly stopped, leaned against the wall, and beckoned to Xiao Fei with a curled finger.
“Husband, together?”
Xiao Fei raised a brow.
“You’re asking for trouble now.”
“Who’s afraid of who!”
The result, naturally, was Tang Yuxin’s utter defeat.
In bed, Xiao Fei held his beloved wife, who had already fallen into a deep sleep, while he himself remained wide awake.
Opening his phone, he discovered the family’s WeChat group chat had exploded.
Almost all the Xiao Family relatives, including their parents, were passionately discussing Xiao Jun’s match.
Wu Tongtong and Wu Manman were eagerly explaining to the elders what esports, professional leagues, and Xiao Jun’s championship victory truly ant.
So elders might not fully grasp the concept, but once the two girls bluntly clarified that top-tier esports stars sign contracts worth several million to tens of millions annually, the family finally realized the imnse level of Xiao Jun’s achievent.
[Who would’ve thought Jianwen’s kid is now a big celebrity?]
[Celebrity?
Didn’t Wu Tongtong say he’s an esports athlete?]
[Oh, isn’t that basically a star?]
[First it’s Xiao Fei, now it’s Xiao Jun—the young ones are just getting better and better~~]
[Ah, no, no.
That rascal still has a long way to go, especially compared to Xiao Fei—he doesn’t hold a candle…]
This ssage was from Xiao Jianwen.
But seeing him spam the group with a chain of red envelope gifts, Xiao Fei knew his uncle couldn’t be more proud.
Xiao Fei chid in with the elders in the chat for a while.
Soon after, Wu Tongtong suddenly sent him a private ssage.
[Brother!
What about the reward you promised !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]
Xiao Fei: “…?”
He froze montarily, then smacked his forehead.
[You got in?]
[What do you think?
I already posted the acceptance letter in the family group!
You’re the one not paying attention!]
[As a freshman, we don’t start until late September.
Not much ti left!
Brother, I better see my reward when I get there!]
[Alright, whatever you want.]
Xiao Fei replied with a smile.
Unexpectedly, Wu Tongtong had actually gotten into Jiao Tong University.
