Not a god

Chapter 204 Beach
The Shanghai Youth Federation team, that's the name of Zhao Xiaoyan's team. After a few days of practice, they also showed up at the preliminary selection. They were chased and beaten by the third-tier test mech, and in the end, they didn't encounter the core.

However, this preliminary selection only screened out those who couldn't even beat a Tier 2 mech. The Shanghai team lasted for five minutes, and each of them performed admirably.

Chen Xi encouraged him, "Keep it up. Your skills are good, but your teamwork is too poor. With some more practice, you might become a dark horse."

Zhao Xiaoyan was panting heavily. Five minutes of fighting felt like running fifty kilometers. No, for his current physical condition, running fifty kilometers was just a pre-race warm-up.

He sighed, "Oh well, let's just not lose too badly, that's a victory in itself."

"There's no need to be so self-deprecating."

"Anyway, with President Su around, the championship in the finals is definitely within reach."

The newly joined Tier 2 member in the team asked curiously, "President Su... is he really that strong?"

Zhao Xiaoyan clicked his tongue in amazement. "They're as strong as monsters. I suspect that even if the most popular people on the internet formed a team, they could barely compete with Chairman Su."

Chen Xi shook her head: "You can't say that. This is a team competition, and ultimately it's all about teamwork."

Zhao Xiaoyan thought it made sense, but he said it lightly. In fact, he had the honor of having a couplet exchange with Su Jiu'er. For some reason, just standing in front of the president and making eye contact would cause his breathing and heartbeat to become disordered. It was not the feeling of being in love, but the murderous aura emanating from Su Jiu'er.

If we're talking about someone he's met so far who isn't influenced by Chairman Su, it's Director Chen.

"Brother Chen, are you going back now?"

"Yes, I'm back now. Things are back on track here, and there's a lot of work piling up at headquarters waiting for me to handle."

"Why don't we stay a couple more days and have some fun? We've been so busy lately, and we haven't had a proper chance to enjoy ourselves in Shanghai. Now we can finally relax."

"Who told you I haven't gone out to play during this time?"

Zhao Xiaoyan looked up at him and suddenly remembered that Director Chen had indeed been busy with them recently, but he would mysteriously disappear after assigning tasks, and then reappear precisely at mealtimes.

It was only then that Zhao Xiaoyan realized that the difference between ordinary key personnel and Director Chen was not just superficial, and a deep sense of loss overwhelmed him.

Chen Xi said goodbye: "I'm leaving."

"Oh, bye, Brother Chen!"

"Good luck getting into the finals!"

"Haha, that's tough. Have a safe trip, Brother Chen."

The Shanghai branch naturally didn't want Chen Xi to go back so soon, as there were still many things to do here. However, with Brother Chen gone for half a month, there were countless things piling up at headquarters waiting for Chen Xi to handle upon his return.

He's in such a hurry to leave because there's something more important going on at headquarters.

Saying things like "I actually often sneak out to play during work hours" is just so they won't worry... What a tsundere, Director Chen!

He said to his partners, "Let's go, we also need to work hard. We can't let Brother Chen shoulder all the burden alone. Otherwise, it would be ridiculous if Director Chen had to make a trip every time something happened."

Zhao Xiaoyan knew that although Brother Chen seemed to slack off often, he actually worked very hard.

……

"The sea! Let's say Shanghai is the seaside."

"Come on, we've been flying for over two hours, this is Zhoushan, you idiot!"

"Idiot! Idiot! The one who likes to call others idiots is the idiot!"

What Zhao Xiaoyan didn't know was that Chen Xi's flight back was for tomorrow. Before leaving today, he took a bunch of female relatives from his family on the He family's private plane to Zhoushan for a day trip.

The two little gingers had been longing to visit the seaside, and they finally arrived. This was the Zhoushan Islands. The weather wasn't at its hottest yet; it was mid-June, just the beginning of the peak season. Although the students hadn't started their holidays, there were already quite a few people on the shore.

Waves crash against the rocks, and shredded foam rolls onto the sand and then recedes, leaving shallow marks. The wetness evaporates quickly in the sunlight, only to be immediately soaked by the next tide, and the cycle repeats itself.

"Hurry, hurry, brother, help me inflate the air! I want to go down and catch seafood!"

Since Emperor Yan didn't have a swimsuit, Jiang Xiaowan took him to buy one. Chen Xi rented a parasol and a beach cloth, and after setting up the area, they inflated Jiang Xiaowan's swim ring in the shade. Jiang Xiaowan's swimsuit wasn't particularly attractive; it was a pink one-piece that covered her completely, with inflatable arm protectors on her shoulders. However, her legs were truly beautiful. Although she wasn't tall, her proportions made her legs appear very long, and they shone brightly in the sunlight, dazzlingly white.

Even though he had seen Jiang Wanwan's legs a thousand times and touched them ten thousand times, and even though he was used to seeing those mysterious areas that were not allowed to be spied on, the same pair of legs looked different in different places and with different clothes. At this moment, the girl was just under the scorching sun, and the beautiful legs under her one-piece swimsuit still made Chen Xi feel infinitely wonderful.

He wanted to press his face against it, only to be cursed at by Jiang Wanwan with some harmless words.

Jiang Wanwan felt uncomfortable being stared at, so she pretended to be annoyed and covered his eyes to stop him from looking: "How can you stare like that!"

"I'm just appreciating beautiful things."

"Your brother doesn't even know how to behave properly when you're out here!"

“My eyes were not filled with filthy desire.”

"..." Although Chen Xi was staring straight at him, his gaze was as firm as if he were watching the news. He was just that kind of pretentious guy. In fact, he was a big pervert who pretended to be serious every day.

"Will you wear this tonight too?"

"No way, if it gets dirty, we'll have to buy a new one."

"I buy for you."

"If you say you're a perverted older brother, then I'll wear it."

"I'm a big perverted older brother."

Jiang Wanwan stomped her foot in a huff, then let out a drawn-out "Ah!" sound of slight annoyance, saying, "I don't want to do this. You're always like this. Can't you show some resistance or embarrassment? When you do this, I feel like I'm the one being teased!"

"Will you wear it?"

"Let Xiao Wan put it on you!"

"What do you mean I have to wear?"

Just then, Jiang Xiaowan returned with Yan Di and the others. Chen Xi glanced back and saw that Jiang Xiaowan's swimsuit had an exotic style, revealing her fair belly. She was also wearing a sheer shawl and a sun hat.

But the most dazzling one was indeed Jiang Yan... Chen Xi shifted her gaze from her to Xiao Chen Yi, who was digging in the sand with her bottom in the air.

A girl's growth and development is a truly amazing thing; it can turn a Doro dog into Dorothy in just over a decade.

In addition, there was one extra person whose swimsuit covered his entire body like a diving suit, with only his neck and hands and feet exposed.

This person, who has supposedly been running naked across this continent for hundreds of millions of years, wears the most conservative swimsuit.

Chen Xi asked, "Isn't it lunchtime yet?"

"Hey, what are you saying... I also got a volleyball, anyone want to team up with me!"

"I'm on Yan Di's team, and Xiao Wan is on Chen Yan's team!"

After Chen Xi finished inflating the swimming rings, the four silly girls rushed towards the sea. Little Chen Yi, who was squatting to the side, seemed to realize something, threw down the shovel in her hand, buried her head and rushed over after them.

She hadn't run two steps before Chen Xi caught her and brought her back. She had only wanted to let her play in the sand on the shore, but it seemed that it wouldn't be so easy to fool her.

"Fine, I'll teach you how to swim while I'm at it."

Just then, Chen Xi's phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Zhao Xiaoyan, a photo of them working at the branch.

Zhao Xiaoyan: [Image]
Zhao Xiaoyan: The brothers will work hard and will not let Director Chen down.
Zhao Xiaoyan: Brother Chen, you should also take care to rest more and not overwork yourself.

"..."

Sand sculptures represent joy, so Chen Xi glanced at her phone and tossed it aside before taking her daughter to play in the water.
