Forced Me to Regress, Huh?

In the hotel room, Cheng Zhu and Jiang Wanzhou were awakened by a phone call reminding them to check out.

Still bleary-eyed, the two of them got out of bed and went to the bathroom to brush their teeth and wash their faces.

Cheng Zhu had slept very soundly.

Perhaps it was because he had stayed up all night after regression that he felt exhausted.

Fortunately, he was still young and in good health. After a good night’s sleep, he felt he had replenished everything.

Even in his past life, after becoming wealthy, he hadn’t completely worn his body down with alcohol and sex.

He had actively maintained his health and worked out.

His idea was simple: “I have to take care of my body. My mind is already so twisted, so my body has to stay healthy.”

After checking out, the two of them got into the Mercedes-Benz G-Class in the parking lot.

Jiang Wanzhou suddenly said, “By the way, my cousin wants me and his sister to treat you to a meal and bring him along.”

If Shen Minglang knew that Jiang Wanzhou had twisted his words like this, he would probably die of anger.

“Sure, but not today. How about tomorrow?” Cheng Zhu replied.

It was normal for friends to get together. He had just helped Jiang Wanzhou and Shen Qingning win some money, so having a meal together was nothing out of the ordinary.

Moreover, Shen Qingning was his future senior sister, so getting to know her better in advance would be helpful once he started college. It was certainly not because she was good-looking, wealthy, and her long legs were capable of performing the splits.

While driving, Jiang Wanzhou asked, “Why not tonight?”

“Because I want to eat in the restaurant tonight,” Cheng Zhu said directly.

In his past life, he had started a business in Wucheng, while his parents lived in Hangzhou. There were times when he couldn’t enjoy a single meal cooked by Old Cheng for an entire month.

After tasting the food in Yunlai Restaurant yesterday, he thought it was still as delicious as ever and instantly understood why he was a little fatty when he was young.

Don’t look down on chubby people. That’s because you’ve never eaten at their homes and experienced how delicious their family’s cooking can be.

It could be said that being chubby had its reasons.

“Alright, we’ll do it tomorrow,” Jiang Wanzhou said.

He also felt that after not coming home last night, it would be best to have dinner at home to maintain his presence.

Following Cheng Zhu’s instructions, Jiang Wanzhou drove him to Yunlai Restaurant.

“I want to go in for a bit. I haven’t seen Little Youzi in a while,” Jiang Wanzhou said.

“Okay.”

It was still the afternoon, not yet mealtime, so the restaurant was quite empty.

Old Cheng and his wife, Xu Yun, were sorting vegetables at the side, while his little sister, Cheng You, was watching TV.

“Welcome back. Hello, Wanzhou.”

“Hello, Uncle, Auntie,” Jiang Wanzhou greeted.

Cheng Zhu brought him over to sit beside his sister.

“Big Brother, Big Brother Little Jiang,” Cheng You said politely.

“What are you watching?” Cheng Zhu asked.

“Balala the Fairies!” Little Youzi replied in her soft, childish voice.

Cheng Zhu: “…”

As soon as he heard this name, he immediately thought of a meme related to the show.

He glanced disdainfully at the TV. Five minutes later, he was actually… engrossed!

The show progressed faster than most dramas, and the plot wasn’t dragged out. With no advertisements, quality fighting scenes, intense and thrilling, and a solid moral outlook, coupled with the irresistible magical girl transformations!

—Damn, what a good show!

This 1.82-meter-tall soon-to-be college student, who had the appearance and temperament of a school bully, sat beside his sister and watched with relish.

In contrast, Jiang Wanzhou, who had heavy yin energy, had no interest in it. His favorite shows were those dramas about domineering CEOs.

“I think you’re looking down on our Prince Youle.” Cheng Zhu sneered at him, making it clear he was already a fan of the show.

In fact, he didn’t care much about what he watched. He just wanted to be with the adorable Little Youzi and develop shared topics.

As it got closer to dinnertime, Old Cheng went to the kitchen, and Xu Yun followed him in to help.

Little Youzi immediately glanced at the kitchen, looking like she was planning something sneaky.

After confirming that their parents wouldn’t come out for a while, the little round-faced girl raised her small hand and gestured for Cheng Zhu to lean in.

“What is it?” Cheng Zhu asked cooperatively in a low voice.

“Big Brother, this is my secret stash.” Cheng You opened her pocket, revealing two coins.

“Impressive!” Cheng Zhu praised her, not really caring what she was saying or doing. Praise was the go-to.

But he thought, Old Cheng, not only are you always caught hiding your secret stash, but you’ve even let Little Youzi learn it.

And Mom too. Every time she finds a secret stash, she confiscates all of it. Kids see everything.

Jiang Wanzhou craned his neck to peek over and joked, “Little Youzi, you better hide it well, or your shameless brother will steal it one day!”

“No way!” Cheng You suddenly grabbed Cheng Zhu’s large hand with her two small ones and pried open his fingers.

After doing this, she reached into her pocket and took out the two coins, holding one in each hand. “I asked Mom why I keep all my red packets with her, but Big Brother can spend his own red packets after passing the college entrance exam.

“Mom told me it’s because you are an adult now, and there are lots and lots of things you need money for.”

Then she raised the two one-yuan coins in her hands and lightly tapped them together, making a crisp clink.

“I’m afraid you won’t have enough money to spend, so I’m giving you all my money!” The round-faced little girl lowered her head and quickly stuffed the coins into Cheng Zhu’s palm.

After doing this, she kept glancing anxiously at the kitchen and urged, “Big Brother, hide it quickly. Make sure you hide it well~”

This summer was still very hot, but Cheng Zhu felt the two coins in his palm were very cool, bringing a refreshing touch to the scorching day.

However, while his palm felt cool, his heart was melting with warmth.

Doesn’t this earn her two hundred million? Cheng Zhu thought.

In front of Little Youzi, he solemnly put the two coins into his pocket and zipped it shut.

No way he was ever going to spend this money.

He would treasure it for the rest of his life. Put it up for worship!

Listen up, all you flirtatious girls out there. If you can’t reach the standards of my sister, don’t even think about seducing me!

At this moment, Cheng You raised her small hand and grabbed one of Cheng Zhu’s ears with great effort. Then she moved her mouth closer and whispered, “Be careful of Mom~ And this money is for you, Big Brother. Don’t share it with Big Brother Little Jiang.”

Jiang Wanzhou, with his sharp ears: “…”

A child is just a child. I’m a distinguished, super-rich second-generation heir. Why should I care about those two coins?

What I care about is having a sister like you, okay?

Jiang Wanzhou turned to Cheng Zhu and said seriously, “Cheng Zhu, I’ve seriously thought about it. I want to acknowledge Little Youzi as my godsister.”

“Get lost!” Cheng Zhu was instantly annoyed.

“What level are you? Are you worthy of being on equal footing with me?” He was extremely unwilling.

We can have a good relationship, but don’t even think about intruding on our brother-sister bond.

Jiang Wanzhou curled his lips, wondering whether he should encourage his parents to have another child.

But then he thought about it again. Not every little girl would be like Little Youzi. The risk was too high. Forget it.

On another side, Shen Qingning was reading at home when her phone started buzzing frequently, showing a video call invitation from Lin Lu.

She hung up and called back instead.

The voice actress said in a domineering voice, “Hmph! Wife, why won’t you accept my video call? Could it be that you—”

“If you have something to say, say it,” Shen Qingning interrupted coldly.

“Oh!” Lin Lu replied, but she still said energetically, “What did you mean by what you said on WeChat? Don’t tell me you want me to treat your scumbag brother to a meal?”

Her voice instantly changed to a sticky, sweet voice. “I haven’t been in a relationship yet. You’re so bad, trying to push me into a fire pit.”

“He’s not worthy. Your winnings have nothing to do with him,” Shen Qingning said flatly.

“Huh?” Lin Lu was taken aback.

Shen Qingning held her phone and briefly explained the situation.

“So you bought the bet along with Jiang Wanzhou’s friend?” Lin Lu understood.

“Yes.” Shen Qingning added, “So if my brother tries to invite you out for a meal under the pretext of winning money, ignore him.”

—Definitely a real sister.

“Okay!” Lin Lu immediately agreed.

Then she said in a sweet voice, “Then I’ll treat you to a meal tomorrow. I miss you.”

“Disgusting.” Shen Qingning’s tone was cold, but she quickly explained, “I’m busy tomorrow. I’m having dinner with my cousin and his friend and bringing my brother along.”

“Hmm?” Lin Lu instantly became vigilant for some reason.
