Kapitel 283: Chapter 282, competitive events

Autor: Qian Feifei Machinenübersetzung

Jiang Li and Qian Anzhi were very excited when they heard that Qian Shuishui and Mu Ziyu would pick them up after school.

Shuishui and Anzhi had to go back home to get Anzhi's swimming trunks. Shuishui also had to go to the Jiang family's house to ask Auntie Jiang for Jiang Li's swimming trunks. She told Auntie Jiang that she would bring Anzhi and Jiang Li with them.

They could have bought swimming trunks at the resort, but it would have to be washed first before they could use them. Shuishui thought it was only right that they go back home first to get a few things rather than buy new ones.

It was near the end of the semester, and most children were busy attending remedial classes, taking exams, and reviewing. Shuishui wanted Anzhi to be more disciplined in his studies, but she didn't want to restrict him and deprive him of enjoyment. She would occasionally teach him and guide him in his lessons. The previous Shuishui was very adventurous and would stay out the whole night. She didn't really care about her studies. Anzhi had seen how his sister had changed over the years. That inspired him to do better in his studies, although he was never the type to go out and play all night long.

Qian Anzhi just found it hard to focus. In fact, Qian Anzhi used to hate how the previous Shuishui would stay out all night long. She also used to be very hot-tempered. They often quarreled in the past.

Qian Anzhi and Qian Shuishui weren't close before, mainly because Qian Shuishui had a very short temper. She was basically hard to deal with. Qian Anzhi used to stay away from Shuishui before because he hated how ill-tempered she was.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuan wanted Jiang Li to spend more time with Shuishui. He hoped he could learn from her. He didn't want Jiang Li to be a whimsical person.

Qian Anzhi and Jiang Li were becoming very good friends. Qian Anzhi had told Jiang Li about who Shuishui used to be and how she changed. Qian Anzhi didn't really have a lot of friends in school, so he and Jiang Li hung out together every day.

Jiang Li had heard about what Shuishui was like before, but he didn't quite believe it. Anzhi showed him photos of Shuishui from several years back. Only then was he convinced. He didn't expect Qian Shuishui and Mu Zilin to be so lazy in junior high. They were completely incomparable to the current top students.

That evening, Ziyu and Shuishui picked them up and picked up their things, and they set off for the artificial beach.

After a while, Qian Momo called Qian Anzhi. She was asking him to send her money. She had a group of generous friends with her, and she promised to take them out for dinner. When they arrived, she realized that she forgot her card. Fortunately, everyone was still preoccupied and told her that they would eat later. She was relieved that no one was really hungry yet because it bought her a bit of time to find money.

She couldn't ask her mother for money, so she thought that she might as well ask Qian Anzhi. She was sure that he was familiar with the place. She felt that he would not be able to decline her request.

Qian Anzhi only said, "We're also heading there, but I don't have money. Second Sister has money, but I won't ask for money from her. I'm sure you will find a way."

Qian Momo restrained herself and tried to keep her composure. "This time, help me. Aren't you coming here too? Do you want me to embarrass myself? Will you be happy if I make a fool out of myself?"

"I didn't say that. Why didn't you bring your card or wallet with you? Besides, you're asking for three thousand yuan. You think I have that much on me? Moreover, you and Second Sister are not on good terms, so she definitely won't help you. I also can't find any excuse to ask money from her." Qian Anzhi didn't want to ask for money for his elder sister. It was clear that she just wanted to pretend to be rich. He couldn't believe how pretentious she was being. He was also annoyed that she was asking for a huge amount of money just for a meal. "Who pays three thousand yuan for a single meal these days?" Anzhi continued.

"There are only five of us, but it won't be good if we eat cheap food. They are quite wealthy people," she said. Momo could not have invited them to eat street food, so she had to treat them to a high-end and high-class meal.

Qian Anzhi frowned. "If you're really in a hurry, I can give you three hundred yuan. That's all I have. If you don't want it, then forget it."

Momo was getting impatient. Anzhi said, "By the way, I'm lending it to you, not giving it to you."

"What do you mean? What can we eat for three hundred yuan? Drink a bowl of soup?" she said unhappily.

"You will be able to buy food for three hundred yuan. Food stalls aren't expensive," Anzhi said. Anzhi realized how superficial his elder sister was. She really hasn't changed.

"Food stall? How could I bring my friends there to eat? I can't afford to lose face." Momo was a little angry.

"Then do as you see fit. How can you be so pretentious when you don't even have money? I can't help you. Since you don't have money, why did you even think of treating your friends? I really don't understand you." Qian Anzhi was annoyed. "I'm on my way now. I should be arriving soon. If you still want it, I'll just give you three hundred yuan."

"Give it to me first," Momo said. She was annoyed, but she had to accept the money. However, what could she do with only a hundred yuan on her?

"All right. Just meet me at the entrance later." Qian Anzhi somehow pitied Qian Momo. He couldn't understand how she was still such a spendthrift. She easily spent whatever money she could get her hands on. What would happen to her and their mother in the future? Fortunately, their father had foresight. He felt like he could help Momo every now and then, but he didn't want her to be dependent on him. He was only a high school student. He could only work once he entered university. He was ashamed because all his expenses were shouldered by Shuishui.

Anzhi was sensible and wouldn't use his second sister's money to subsidize his elder sister's expenses.

Shuishui didn't say anything because it was normal for Qian Anzhi to occasionally visit Li Xue. She had cut off ties with Li Xue and Momo already.

Qian Anzhi wouldn't ask for too much money from Shuishui. In fact, he was more mature than ordinary children. He had been able to decipher whether his own mother's behavior was right or not.

Shuishui looked at Qian Anzhi. "Whether you should help or not depends on the matter. For example, if she doesn't have money to eat, you can give her three hundred yuan to support her. That's called helping. If she only wants your help just because she wants to look and appear rich, you have to think about whether that will help her or not. She's already an *****, and she should be sensible enough."

Shuishui felt that Qian Momo had always been like that. It was like she had her own world. When their father was hospitalized, she didn't even bother to visit him. She only thought about herself. Not only did she not care about her family, but she also had a bad temperament. Her ill temper was so uncontrollable that she managed to push their own father down the stairs. She threw a fit simply because she didn't get what she wanted.

Qian Momo's personality was similar to Li Xue's. She had inherited all of her mother's shortcomings and none of her strengths.

Qian Anzhi nodded. "I know. I don't want to help either. If there's a first time, there will be a second time. But I'll tell her she needs to pay me back. If she doesn't, I won't help her next time."

Anzhi pondered. Momo was still his sister. He couldn't be too heartless, no matter how many times they disappointed him.

Shuishui reached out and touched Qian Anzhi's head. "If you think it's a good idea, then do it. Just use your own judgment. I won't interfere too much."

"Sister, thank you. Don't worry." He was very grateful to his second sister for everything she did for him that year. She provided him with everything he needed. He was very happy that he had such a good sister. He felt pressured because of all her achievements, but overall, he was very proud of her.

Jiang Li patted Qian Anzhi's shoulder. "Sister Qian, I'll accompany Anzhi."

"En, Ziyu and I will go buy tickets first. We'll also buy some drinks." She pointed to the shop that sold puppets and said, "You guys wait there for a while. Don't wander around."

"Okay, Second Sister. We'll go now." Qian Anzhi and Jiang Li walked to the shop.

Qian Anzhi called Qian Momo. After a while, Qian Momo appeared. Qian Anzhi took out three hundred yuan. "This is all I have. Remember to pay me back. That's my allowance."

She accepted the money and said, "Got it. Don't you have more?" What could she do with a few hundred yuan?

Qian Anzhi shook his head. "I really don't have any money."

Jiang Li looked at Qian Momo. Her face was so pale, and she looked unhealthy. She wasn't as beautiful as Sister Qian, and she clearly had a bad personality.

Qian Momo noticed Jiang Li. She said, "Anzhi, maybe you can borrow money from your friend. I'll pay you tomorrow. Don't worry."

Qian Anzhi shook his head. "Big Sister, how much money do you think we have? We only spend a few hundred yuan a day when we go out to play. We usually don't bring too much money with us."

"All right then." Qian Momo looked at the time. "Then I'm leaving. Come over for dinner when you have time. Mom misses you."

"Oh, maybe during the holidays," Anzhi said.

Qian Momo turned around and left.

Jiang Li said, "Anzhi, your big sister is quite old, right? Why does she need to borrow money from you?"

"En, it's been a while since she graduated. She used to work, but I heard from my mother that she hasn't had a job and does not want to work. She left her first job after only a few days. Anyway, she's old already. She has nothing to do with us. In the future, I'll let her man take care of her." Anzhi felt like his sister wouldn't meet a man who would meet her standards. She had such high expectations. She didn't even consider what she had to offer. She was too ambitious. Anzhi felt like Momo's future was unclear.

Qian Anzhi somehow despised his eldest sister. In spite of what happened to their father, Momo had the nerve to go out and spend her days partying and going out instead of looking for a stable job. She would just go out with her friends every day. In the past, Shuishui was somehow like that, but what's important was that she changed for the better.

Jiang Li comforted Qian Anzhi. "I believe you are quite mature. You even considered your sister's welfare. In fact, I am a little curious. Your eldest sister is already an *****, but does she not have a boyfriend?"

Qian Anzhi shook his head and said, "Actually, it's quite unbelievable. Let me tell you something, but don't tell anyone. My eldest sister likes Brother Mu."

"No way. You mean Sister Qian's boyfriend?" Jiang Li's eyes widened. It was interesting.

Qian Anzhi nodded. "But Brother Mu has never noticed her. To Brother Mu, my big sister is actually just a stranger. When he sees her, Brother Mu won't even look at her."

Jiang Li laughed and said, "I can see that Brother Mu really likes Sister Qian. He is very good to Sister Qian and will grant any of her requests." Jiang Li had a good impression of Qian Shuishui, but he also knew that it was unlikely for him and Qian Shuishui to end up together. He had to cut off whatever sentiments he had for her.

Qian Anzhi had no idea. They continued to talk about random things while waiting for Shuishui and Ziyu. After a while, Qian Shuishui and Mu Ziyu walked towards them with their tickets. "Have fun tonight and relax. I'll help you review a few days before the end of the semester," Shuishui said.

Mu Ziyu held Shuishui's hand. He turned to Jiang Li and Anzhi and said, "Don't get lost, the two of you. There are a lot of people here. There are a lot of water sports. You can participate in them. You just might win prizes."

"Then let's go and have some fun." Qian Anzhi and Jiang Li were excited.

Shuishui leaned against Mu Ziyu and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Qian Anzhi and Jiang Li walked together. They came across a group of food stalls, and they simply couldn't help themselves. They ordered food to their heart's content. They each held a string of sausages in their left hand and a string of sugar-coated haws in their right hand. There was indeed a small artificial beach with small waves, but there were too many people, so they didn't bother to go near. To win, they had to spend ten minutes keeping their balance. Moreover, the event required people to participate in groups of two. They would be disqualified if one of them fell into the water. Since there were four of them, they went to participate in groups of two.

Qian Anzhi and Jiang Li were very confident. "Sister, there are two kinds of prizes. You can either get a meter-long doll or two small car pillows."

"And then?" Shuishui asked. Seeing how confident they were, she was determined not to make a mistake.

Each participant was required to pay twenty yuan. The two teams could start at the same time. They were to set the timer by themselves, after which they could start immediately. When they reached the finish line, they would press the finish line button to signify that they finished the challenge.

There were many participants, and they waited for more than half an hour before it was their turn.

Mu Ziyu pulled Shuishui and asked, "Do you want to change into a swimsuit?"

"There's no need to change. It's too troublesome." Shuishui was a martial artist after all, and she felt quite good that her body movements were quite coordinated.

Qian Anzhi and Jiang Li changed into their swimming trunks. They thought that they could go to the artificial beach after a while to play.

Most of the participants in the water sports event were couples. Mu Ziyu lowered his head and rested his chin on Shuishui's head. "If we finish the challenge in seven minutes, the reward seems to be a one-and-a-half-meter doll. We can challenge it. If we fail, it's not a big deal," he said to Shuishui.

"Hmm. That's interesting," Shuishui said. They walked up to the stage and were ready to begin. There were many spectators around them. If someone fell into the water, they would be laughed at. If they did fall, they would have to make sure they falling on a shallow area. It would be difficult to get through the single-plank bridge. There were obstacles swinging left and right on the single-plank bridge. It was where most people would fall and fail.
