"I know what to do," Hu Qian said calmly.
Zhao Qiang didn't ask her what she planned to do, and said, "Let's go eat."
This was the happiest and most sumptuous New Year's Eve lunch for the Zhao family, with the most people. For several years, Zhao Qiang even stayed in Donghai City for the New Year, calling home on New Year's Day and then going back to his dormitory to cry his heart out. This time, he had returned home in glory, bringing such a large sum of money with him, so Zhao Weidong and Liu Huilan naturally wanted to make this New Year's celebration extremely grand.
It was the first time Liu Meng and his grandmother had ever eaten such a good meal, and the first time they had ever felt the warmth of home. In the past, the two of them would only cook two dishes for the New Year. How could they have ten dishes and eight bowls with wine, meat, fish and chicken like this? Moreover, when he heard Zhao Qiang say that he would send his grandmother to Beijing for eye treatment after the New Year, Wang Meng was even happier. He couldn't wait to be the first to stand up and toast Zhao Qiang.
"Brother Qiang, I don't know what else to say. This time, not only did you not hold me responsible for breaking someone's window, but you also saved my grandma and are going to treat her eyes. If I still don't appreciate your kindness, then I'm no different from an ingrate. I'll toast you. From today onwards, you're my brother. You can ask me to go through fire and water without batting an eye!"
Liu Huilan slapped Liu Meng on the shoulder, "You child, why are you saying such unlucky things during the New Year? Xiaoqiang has also suffered a lot. The fact that he did this shows that he has not let down his father and me. You have seen it yourself. Xiaoqiang has no brothers. With the two of you looking after each other, we old folks can feel more at ease."
Zhao Weidong said, "Yes, Xiaoqiang's shop was smashed in Donghai City a while ago. As his father, I was heartbroken. The Zhao family is dwindling and we are bullied everywhere. I don't want it to be like this with Xiaoqiang's generation. It would be best if you two could get along as brothers. If Xiaoqiang can give me a few more grandchildren in the future, then I can die in peace."
Liu Huilan glared at Zhao Weidong: "Look at you, it's New Year's Day today!"
Zhao Tiancheng said, "This isn't offensive. Mengzi and your grandmother depend on each other for survival, and they have no other relatives. From now on, you and Zhao Qiang will be brothers. If either of you does anything to wrong the other, I, the old man, will be the first to not forgive him!"
Liu Meng's grandmother stood up shakily: "Brother Zhao, I agree with what you said. Mengzi, come here."
Liu Meng immediately stood next to his grandmother. The old lady touched Liu Meng's hand and said, "Listen carefully, from now on you must work hard with Xiaoqiang. If anyone bullies him, you must be the first to rush up and protect him, just like he took a bullet for Grandma! If I find out that you have done anything to betray Xiaoqiang, Grandma will beat you to death!"
Zhao Qiang felt the atmosphere was too serious. Although it showed Liu Meng and his grandmother's sincerity, Zhao Qiang was really uncomfortable. He said, "Grandma, don't worry. I'll find Liu Meng a beautiful wife later. You can just wait to enjoy your life. Come on, let's drink. The only purpose of the New Year is to celebrate. We have to get drunk."
Having said all that, even Zhao Qiang, who couldn't drink, had to down his first glass. And so, the first hero by the side of the great Comrade Zhao Qiang was born. Liu Meng truly followed his grandmother's teachings and never did anything to betray Zhao Qiang in his life. The Su family's windows being smashed was originally a disheartening thing, but Zhao Qiang's ability to turn things around and achieve the current situation was truly genius.
After the first drink, Zhao Qiang started to feel dizzy. Then Zhao Weidong and Zhao Tiancheng each led everyone in having a drink. Zhao Qiang had to give face to his grandfather and father, so he drank as well. He started to lose his balance. Hu Qian was next to him, and he put one hand on Hu Qian's leg, not to take advantage of her, but because he really needed support.
Hu Qian also noticed something was wrong and said, "Zhao Qiang, are you drunk?"
Zhao Tiancheng, displaying the authority of the Zhao family patriarch, said, "It's alright for a man to be a little drunk. Come on, Xiaoqiang, let me personally toast you. Our family has changed because of you. You are a hero of the Zhao family. Our ancestors in the afterlife will be pleased."
Zhao Qiang didn't know where to put his hand holding the glass. His super biochip was almost paralyzed. After drinking the glass, he collapsed into Hu Qian's arms. Zhao Weidong chuckled and said, "This kid, his alcohol tolerance is still so low. Mengzi, take your brother to his room to rest. We'll continue drinking."
Liu Meng was very strong. He picked up Zhao Qiang and carried him back to his room. Hu Qian had also drunk two glasses of wine, and her face was flushed. She followed Liu Meng into the room, partly to avoid the Zhao family father and son making her drink more, and partly because she was afraid that something might happen to Zhao Qiang, so she wanted to stay by his side to take care of him.
Liu Meng left Zhao Qiang and went out for another drink. This amount of alcohol was nothing to him. When he left the room, he smiled strangely and closed the door tightly. He assumed that the sexy woman who had been following Zhao Qiang was Zhao Qiang's girlfriend.
Zhao Qiang didn't vomit because he wasn't actually drunk. Rather, the super biochip couldn't withstand the stimulation of alcohol and had lost most of its functions. Since the super biochip was closely connected to Zhao Qiang's original brain, its failure made Zhao Qiang feel like he was drunk. However, Zhao Qiang's mind was still relatively clear at this moment, at least one-third clearer than when he was drunk.
Hu Qian took off Zhao Qiang's coat and pants, and then covered him with a blanket. The blanket was brought by Hu Qian and had a strong fragrance. Although Zhao Qiang's sense of smell was greatly reduced, he could still feel Hu Qian's body scent on the blanket.
Zhao Qiang's knock-off phone rang loudly. Hu Qian picked it up and saw that it was Xu Xiaoya's number. At this moment, Zhao Qiang couldn't even speak clearly, so answering the phone was out of the question. She could only reject the call, then turned on her phone and logged into Zhao Qiang's QQ account. Zhao Qiang had chosen to remember the password, so she didn't have to ask him for it.
Several messages from Xu Xiaoya had already appeared on QQ: "Still not full?" "Are you online yet?" "Are you an idiot? How long are you going to eat?"
"Little Pig is online." Hu Qian replied with a grin, then secretly glanced at Zhao Qiang, who was lying drowsily on the bed. She decided to help Zhao Qiang chat with Xu Xiaoya for a while, so that Xu Xiaoya wouldn't rush over in a hurry.
Volume 2 [202] You Can't Let Others Bully Me
"Are you drunk?" Xu Xiaoya knew Zhao Qiang well and knew he would get drunk, so she asked him as soon as he arrived.
Hu Qian said, "It's true that I was drunk."
Xu Xiaoya: "You wouldn't do anything improper to Hu Qian, would you?"
If Xu Xiaoya knew that the person sitting on the other end of the internet right now was Hu Qian, I wonder what she would think.
Hu Qian: "She won't allow it." You Bing's words were not entirely sincere.
Xu Xiaoya said, "I don't believe it. I bet right now she's just waiting for you to do something to her."
Hu Qian said, "That's impossible. She doesn't seem like that kind of person."
Xu Xiaoya said, "What do you know? I asked Yang Shiqi, and Hu Qian is probably hoping you'll have a relationship with her right now, so she can smoothly get you to marry into the Hu family. That way, she'll be smug in the future. She's aiming to kill two birds with one stone."
Hu Qian touched her flushed face and said, "Xu Xiaoya, you're really quite clever. But I, Hu Qian, am not doing this for the Hu family's own benefit. I want to push Zhao Qiang to an unattainable height, which I can't do alone. Since you have the ability, let's help him together. Zhao Qiang is a man of feeling and integrity; if he helps us, we'll all benefit. If I compete with you, I think I'll be the first to be eliminated. Since my weakness is not being tough enough, let's try a softer approach. I think Zhao Qiang will definitely like a softer one."
While chatting with Xu Xiaoya about all sorts of things, Hu Qian looked at Zhao Qiang lying next to her. She typed on the keyboard with one hand and took Zhao Qiang's hand with the other, trembling as she placed it on her chest. The drunk Zhao Qiang seemed to sense it, and as soon as his fingers touched her breasts, he immediately began to actively stretch and knead them. Hu Qian was so stimulated that she also began to feel uneasy. She simply said goodbye to Xu Xiaoya and logged off, using her drunkenness as an excuse.
Zhao Qiang's hand never left Hu Qian's breasts; the surging sensation was incredibly pleasurable. In truth, Zhao Qiang was perfectly aware of the situation, but after so many years of restraint, coupled with the influence of alcohol, if he were to act like a saint now, not only would fate not forgive him, but he himself would despise himself. Therefore, Zhao Qiang decided to take it a step further.
Hu Qian sat in the chair with her eyes closed, her body trembling with tension and excitement. Her legs were tightly intertwined, and heavy breathing escaped her throat. Zhao Qiang's hands felt like burning coals, leaving everything he touched feeling stinging. What made Hu Qian even more nervous was that Zhao Qiang began to slip his hand under the hem of her sweater. Hu Qian didn't know whether to refuse or give in. This outcome was something she had brought upon herself, and Hu Qian finally decided to go all out today.
Zhao Qiang's hand bypassed the sweater, then the thermal underwear, and made direct contact with Hu Qian's skin on her abdomen. Hu Qian shivered; it was the first time a boy had touched her skin, and the feeling was incredibly stimulating. It felt like every pore on her body had opened up. Zhao Qiang's hand continued to penetrate deeper, but two majestic breasts blocked his way. Zhao Qiang's hand climbed upwards, occasionally kneading the breasts. With only the last layer of fabric separating them, the sensation became even more intense. Zhao Qiang's breathing became even heavier than Hu Qian's. Suddenly, he pulled Hu Qian onto the bed.
Hu Qian let out a soft moan and buried her head in her chest. She was so nervous that she didn't know what to do with her hands, letting Zhao Qiang frantically grab and knead her breasts. It hurt a little, but it felt good at the same time, and she had a feeling that she wanted Zhao Qiang to get closer to her.
Zhao Qiang, perhaps sensing Hu Qian's eagerness, clumsily began to remove her coat, then her sweater. Hu Qian was initially hesitant, but soon cooperated. Soon, she was only wearing a bra, which was just two thin pieces of blue fabric held together by a few threads. Unlike other girls who wore thicker linings, Hu Qian's breasts were real, so there was no need for any embellishment.
Supported by a blue bra, two peaks stood tall, with a deep cleavage between them. Zhao Qiang pressed Hu Qian down onto the bed, bringing his nose close to the cleavage and inhaling deeply, the scent unforgettable. Then, Zhao Qiang pushed her breasts together from the sides, the ample flesh creating a strong visual stimulus. Zhao Qiang stood up abruptly and quickly pulled down his pants, completely disregarding the fact that it was broad daylight outside. Hu Qian, also aroused, did not try to stop him.
**It all exploded right after lunch on New Year's Eve. Zhao Qiang finally decided to end his virginity with the mature and sexy Hu Qian. This was a thousand times better than the women Zhang Lingfeng had offered him. Hu Qian didn't have much independent thought, and she was more suitable to be Zhao Qiang's first woman. Even if he had a relationship with her, based on Zhao Qiang's recent observations of her, it shouldn't affect his interactions with other girls. Otherwise, Zhao Qiang would have to think about it.
Zhao Qiang finally took off his pants. His manhood, hidden for so long, was finally ready to be seen. But just as Zhao Qiang knelt down, before he could even tremble as he pulled down Hu Qian's pants, his face suddenly changed. He tried to get up and run away, but it was too late. Hu Qian's thighs rubbed against Zhao Qiang's body, and the mere sensation was enough to make him lose control; he ejaculated. If it were just that, it wouldn't be so bad. Every man has to ejaculate; it's a human rule. But Zhao Qiang realized something even more embarrassing: he'd ejaculated in the wrong place. At the very last moment, realizing his mistake, he half-knelt and stood up, only to spill it all over Hu Qian's stomach and chest. This was so inappropriate! Hu Qian was so ashamed that she closed her eyes, her neck as red as if she'd been smeared with mentholated oil mixed with Sudan Red.
Overwhelmed with shame and indignation, Zhao Qiang frantically searched for toilet paper. Hu Qian suddenly opened her eyes; she saw the unease in Zhao Qiang's eyes, and her heart ached. She grabbed a thermal undershirt and wiped herself, then pulled Zhao Qiang into her arms. The two pulled the covers over themselves, and the people drinking outside disappeared. Only two pounding young hearts remained.
The darkness gave Zhao Qiang some courage and also helped Hu Qian regain her composure. She was a year older than Zhao Qiang, and she should act as his older sister. At this moment, Zhao Qiang needed comfort the most; if his inner turmoil wasn't resolved, it could cause problems later.
"Qiang, is this your first time?" Hu Qian felt very secure holding Zhao Qiang in her arms. He was a strong man, and with him, she no longer needed to worry so much about the future of the Hu family.
Zhao Qiang nodded, his head pressed against the two breasts. At this moment, he felt extremely calm and comfortable, even more comfortable than when Xu Xiaoya hugged him from behind. Many boys have this kind of breast fetish; it's a conditioned reflex formed physiologically.
"Don't overthink it. It's normal for boys to be nervous. This is a common situation," Hu Qian reassured Zhao Qiang.
Zhao Qiang was much calmer now. His embarrassment wasn't entirely due to nervousness, but rather the malfunction of his biochip. Otherwise, he could have easily achieved a perfect erection, but now, under the influence of alcohol, the biochip was out of control, disrupting many bodily functions, let alone actively controlling things that were already difficult to manage. Zhao Qiang smelled the perfume and couldn't resist sticking out his tongue to lick the cherry. Hu Qian felt a shiver run through her body and almost moaned. Zhao Qiang said, "Will you get used to it next time?"
Hu Qian was a little embarrassed and buried her head in Zhao Qiang's head. "Um, do you want to try again?"
Zhao Qiang was pleased that Hu Qian was so accommodating, but he pointed outside and said, "They're still drinking. They were too impulsive just now, but the commotion has sobered them up quite a bit. It's not appropriate for them to act recklessly any further."
Hu Qian nodded: "Don't sleep in the old house tonight, I don't feel safe sleeping here alone."
Zhao Qiang finally smiled: "Okay, but we have to stay up all night tonight. We'll have plenty of time later, so you'll have to teach me to be a good person."
Hu Qian's face flushed: "I don't know either, it's my first time here, but I'm better at theoretical knowledge. What are your plans for me in the future? I'm yours now, right?"
Zhao Qiang asked, "What arrangements do you want me to make?"
Hu Qian thought for a moment, "Just don't let Xu Xiaoya ignore me after a few words."
Zhao Qiang said, "Is it that simple?"
Hu Qian said, "It's that simple."
Zhao Qiang pulled away from Hu Qian's embrace and wrapped his arm around her, Hu Qian resting her head on his arm. Zhao Qiang's other hand caressed her full breasts. "Hu Qian," he said, "you're the most indecisive and spineless girl I know, but also the smartest. Don't worry about the future; I have plans. It's just a matter of time before your Hu family surpasses the Yang family. Whether it's money or technology, I can help you. Of course, my current funds probably aren't worth your attention, but you should be able to foresee my future income—it will be astronomical."
Hu Qian closed her eyes peacefully: "It's so nice of you to spoil me like this. I don't care anymore, as long as you can't let anyone bully me."
Zhao Qiang's biochip was gradually recovering, and his mind was becoming increasingly clear. He said, "However, now is not the time to compete with the Yang Shiqi family. Just focus on your software business. Trying to achieve instant success is impossible, and doing so is likely to cause problems. It won't be long; I think the world will undergo earth-shattering changes in a year. Also, I don't want you to have any conflicts with Yang Shiqi, because he helped me, and I can't be ungrateful."
Hu Qian nodded: "I understand, but Qiang, you probably misunderstood me. I don't want to outdo the Yang family, but rather I want you to take control of the Yang family as well!"
Zhao Qiang said, "I don't have that ability."
Hu Qian said, "You don't need to worry about this, I'll do it for you. By the way, didn't Su say you were going to see her this afternoon? What time is it?"
Zhao Qiang said, "It's past one o'clock."
Hu Qian said, "I'll take you there. Don't keep Su waiting."
Zhao Qiang covered Hu Qian's breasts with both hands, feeling a little reluctant himself: "Are you willing to let go?"
Hu Qian said, "I'm not a child. Stopping you now will only make you angry. It's better to be generous; maybe you'll treat me better that way. There's nothing I can do. This is my fate."
Zhao Qiang hugged Hu Qian tightly and said, "Indeed, I feel I owe you something, Hu Qian. You're a smart girl. I don't dare to say anything grand right now, but you can look to the future; you will definitely be the happiest one."
Hu Qian then pulled Zhao Qiang into her arms, burying her breasts tightly against his chest. The fullness of her breasts made her feel happy. "I'm content just hearing that," she said.
Hu Qian's bra was unhooked, leaving her upper body bare for Zhao Qiang to play with. Zhao Qiang, unable to stop, kept changing the shape of Hu Qian's breasts as he kneaded them. Hu Qian gasped softly as he did so. "Okay, Qiang, let's go to the hospital. You don't want Su to complain, do you? Otherwise, she'll probably curse me like Xu Xiaoya did."

Volume 2 [203] I Can't Cook
In a single ward at the Dianqu Central Hospital, Su Heqian's cold and fever had subsided, and the hospital was allowing him to recuperate there free of charge. Considering that his daughter was also injured and hospitalized, Su Heqian agreed. At this moment, the family of five was gathered in Su Su's ward. There were eight dishes on a table, all of which Su's mother had prepared at home and brought to the hospital. Su Su was half-lying on the hospital bed, occupying one side of the table by herself, while Su Heqian, Wang Yuru, Su Su, and Yang Wei sat on the other three sides.
Su Su said, "Sis, didn't you say Zhao Qiang would come?"
Su Su said, "Yes, but we have to wait until he has eaten at home." Zhao Qiang had said he loved her the day she was injured, but they were both young and shy, and Su Su was injured, so Zhao Qiang didn't do anything else even though he came twice a day.
Su Heqian said, "Alright, I'll have a couple of drinks with him when he arrives." Having saved his eldest daughter and then his second daughter, Zhao Qiang was the benefactor of the Su family.
Yang Wei said, "Yes, I also want to toast Zhao Qiang three times to thank him for his help this time, otherwise I would have been in big trouble." Yang Wei was completely convinced by Zhao Qiang; he had no choice but to admit it.
Wang Yuru said, "Let's eat the gaba first, so the food doesn't get cold."
Su Su said, "Mom, don't rush to eat. I want to offer my sister a cup of tea instead of Erhai tea."
Su Su chuckled: "Sister, don't try to win me over or corrupt me. Let's talk things out between us sisters."
Su Su also confessed, "Sister, tell us, what is Zhao Qiang's background? I asked someone to inquire in Shantou Village. His ancestors for eight generations were all poor farmers. How could he scare Zhang Zhiqiao like that? He ordered Zhang Zhiqiao around, and Zhang Zhiqiao was happy to do so."
Su Su looked happy. How could she not be happy to hear her sister praise Zhao Qiang? However, she didn't know anything about Zhao Qiang's background. "I don't know. Maybe it's because Sister Qian's identity is unusual, since it was Sister Qian's bodyguard who made the move that day."
Su Su said, "If I hadn't mentioned her, I would have forgotten to remind you that it's dangerous for that woman to be around Zhao Qiang! You need to find a way to get rid of her."
Yang Wei chimed in, "Yes, Zhao Qiang will definitely be seduced by her!"
Hearing this, Wang Yuru also became worried. Although she did not encourage her daughter to date, she had finally met a boy like Zhao Qiang who was interested in her, and Wang Yuru hoped that her daughter could develop a relationship with him, which would be beneficial to the Su family.
This was exactly what Su Su was worried about, and her sister's mention of it made her look distressed. "What should I do?"
Su Su suggested, "Let's make it a fait accompli, and then use that as leverage to keep Zhao Qiang by our side!"
Su Su looked a little lost: "But I don't know how to cook rice."
Su Su readily agreed: "I'll teach you... I'm very experienced."
Su Heqian coughed and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Let's eat!" Zhao Qiang and Hu Qian arrived before the Su family had even finished their New Year's Eve lunch. Su Heqian insisted on having a couple of drinks with Zhao Qiang. Yang Wei also greeted them warmly, a completely different person compared to previous classmate reunions. Out of politeness, Zhao Qiang had no choice but to sit down and pick up his glass. Hu Qian nudged him and reminded him, "You'll get drunk again if you drink too much."
Su Su harbored deep hostility towards Hu Qian, regarding her as her sister's greatest enemy, and said with a hint of sarcasm, "What's it to you?"
Hu Qian wasn't angry. She smiled faintly and sat obediently next to Zhao Qiang. This was a kind of "softness." Zhao Qiang could tell who was good and who was bad at a glance. Why did she need to reason with Su Su? Zhao Qiang just liked to sympathize with the weak. The more Hu Qian yielded to him, the more he protected her. He absolutely loathed Su Su.
The Su family was a hundred times more enthusiastic than Zhao Tiancheng and his son. Zhao Qiang truly regretted coming to see the Su family. It wasn't that he didn't like drinking; the problem was that he would lose control once he drank, which was really not a good thing. However, not drinking was also not an option, so he could only grit his teeth and pour it into his mouth like poison.
