After my divorce, I started to have good luck

"You've really got a nice place here! Compared to you, I'm seriously like a poor bastard now."

Qin Zhen started talking more after a few beers.

Chen Feng moved to Villa No. 8 a month ago, and he mentioned it to him over the phone. However, at that time, Qin Zhen was busy with work and hadn't had the chance to visit. Later, Chen Feng went on a trip to Europe and wasn't home, so this was his first time coming over.

Seeing such a high-end villa, complete with a swimming pool, and more importantly, living with two beautiful women, it made him, someone of the same age, quite envious and jealous. How could he not admire this winning life?

"I'm telling you, don't get stuck on comparing yourself to me, you're bound to never measure up in this lifetime." Chen Feng shook his head, looking disdainful.

"You're so full of yourself, I feel like hitting you right now." Qin Zhen grumbled.

"Don't say I'm bragging, but you might really not be able to beat me right now." Chen Feng said somewhat proudly.

His physical stats were rapidly improving, especially his strength. During the incident with the masked man, he proved to be quite formidable, managing to break several ribs with a savage charge, even making him spit blood.

But Qin Zhen wasn't aware of this and couldn't help but laugh: "Fengzi, if you're going to boast, don't do it about this. Do you believe I'll knock your teeth out with one hand? Don't forget back in high school, how many times did you beat me when we wrestled on the playground?"

During high school, after evening self-study, many couples strolled on the playground, whispering sweet nothings, while some students ran at night. Chen Feng and Qin Zhen often wrestled on the lawn as a form of exercise. The playground was dimly lit, with low visibility, making the activity quite exciting. Chen Feng lost more often than not. After fooling around, they both went to the washroom to shower in cold water, even during winter.

Those were unforgettable times for them, and much of their friendship was fostered during that period.

Now Qin Zhen had a military background, and aside from that, he had practiced martial arts for several years. Basic skills like grappling and combat were second nature to him. How could Chen Feng, an ordinary person, possibly beat him?

Chen Feng rolled his eyes and said, "We haven't been in touch for years. Haven't you heard 'Three days apart, look at with fresh eyes'? Especially since we've been apart for so many years. If you don't believe me, how about arm-wrestling later to see who's stronger?"

Chen Feng wasn't foolish. Even though his physical condition had improved significantly, he hadn't learned any grappling or combat skills. In a real fight against Qin Zhen, he likely wouldn't win, given Qin Zhen's expertise. So, arm-wrestling was the safest bet.

"Arm-wrestling against me?" Qin Zhen chuckled and shook his head, "Don't say I'm bullying you. I still do strength training every day. I lift a 20-pound dumbbell over a hundred times single-handedly each day. Do you train?"

"I can't stand your arrogance. Anyway, it's just arm-wrestling. Let's do it now."

Chen Feng couldn't bear his arrogance. Previously, Chen Feng wouldn't have had the confidence to challenge him, but now he was rejuvenated. Since being diagnosed with a terminal illness and getting divorced, his physical condition had only gotten better. It's absurd and miraculous!

"Fine, since you insist, if you want to embarrass yourself in front of these three lovely ladies, don't blame me."

Qin Zhen was calm and composed, showing the demeanor of an expert.

They were speaking in their hometown dialect, and among the three women present, only Wu Mengting could understand. Hearing them talk about arm-wrestling, she couldn't help but chuckle and said in Mandarin, "Are you two bored or what? You're adults now and you still want to arm-wrestle?"

Wang Xuelin, on the other hand, seemed quite excited and quickly asked, "You two really going to arm-wrestle? Sounds fun, then hurry up and start. By the way, should there be a little wager?"

She looked at Sun and Wu, and with a smile said, "Why don't I bet with you two? If you lose, next time you go traveling, take me along and cover all expenses. If I lose, I'll treat you to Fuman Building three times."

Sun and Wu turned their attention to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng helplessly looked at Wang Xuelin and shook his head, "I know on the surface it seems that Qin Zhen won't lose, but you're really underestimating my abilities. I think we better not bet, or else if you lose, your salary for the next several months might not cover it."

Although Wang Xuelin worked at the Civil Affairs Bureau and was a junior department leader, her salary was at most seven or eight thousand, not counting other benefits like housing fund.

And dining at Fuman Building costs at least five to six thousand per time. For the five of them, including drinks, it was quite normal to spend over ten thousand.

Wang Xuelin smiled brightly and said, "I have faith in my boyfriend."

Qin Zhen confidently said, "Don't worry, I won't lose."

Seeing Qin Zhen's cocky attitude, Chen Feng was unreserved and said directly, "Alright then, I've already given you advice, so when you lose, remember to stick to the bet and treat us at Fuman Building three times."

"Of course, the same goes for you, if you lose, take us traveling next time and cover all expenses."

"OK! No problem!"

"Then let's start. Where are we arm-wrestling?"

Qin Zhen stood up impatiently. He had a bit of a show-off personality, especially in front of women. Additionally, inside, he did have some envy for Chen Feng, and planned to make him look foolish through arm-wrestling, which would make him feel better.
