After the Divorce, I Unlocked a Perfect Life

Soon, the four groups were formed.

In the end, the remaining people simply joined whichever group had fewer members. Not much time was wasted on it.

Jiang Xiaoqi handed out numbers according to the team assignments. Lin Jiang got number one and was made the default team captain.

"Next up, we’ll have a tug-of-war competition."

"Team One will go against Team Two, and Team Three will go against Team Four. The winners will then compete for the championship."

"We’re definitely going to win!"

The children were all excited, but the adults hadn’t quite gotten into the spirit yet and needed some time to warm up.

"Brother Zhang, you’re a bit more built than me. You take the anchor position at the back, the moms can be in the middle, and I’ll be at the front. Sound good?"

Lin Jiang had learned the name of the other male parent in his group during team selection: Zhang Jianzhou.

"Sure, I’ll follow your lead. It’s all for fun, anyway. As long as we’re having a good time."

"Dad! This isn’t just for fun! This is about honor!"

Seeing Zhang Zihao’s serious expression, Lin Jiang chuckled. ’Good thing this isn’t a military-style summer camp,’ he thought.

’Otherwise, he might turn into a little Wolf Warrior by the end of it, wouldn’t he?’

"Alright, alright. We’ll definitely win."

Thanks to the father and son’s conversation, the team’s atmosphere livened up. The outgoing Wei Xue spoke up:

"Come on, let’s get our positions sorted out. We can’t lose this."

Lin Jiang stood at the front of the line, and Zhang Jianzhou took his place at the back, tying the rope around his waist. He clearly knew how to play tug-of-war.

"Quick, quick, you get in front of me."

Wei Xue pushed Fang Jie into the second spot, right behind Lin Jiang, dutifully playing her support role.

The two teams were quickly ready, but the match hadn’t started yet.

"Brother Yu, look at the male parents in Team One. They don’t look like much. I don’t think we even need you; I can handle it myself."

The man called Brother Yu was the one who drove the G-Wagen. His name was Yu Bin. He owned a liquor and tobacco shop and had made a good bit of money over the years.

He had gritted his teeth and bought a second-hand G-Wagen, which made him quite popular in circles of women.

"So, with a lineup like ours, taking first place will be no problem," Yu Bin said.

"The only slight regret is that we didn’t get Zhang Jiayuan’s mom on our team."

"Definitely. I’ve checked out all the moms here, and she’s the best-looking one. Her ass is so perky it’s practically reaching for the sky."

"Let’s take our time, no rush. First, let’s win this match and give them a little shock."

Over on the other side, both teams were ready. Jiang Xiaoqi announced:

"Ready!"

"Three, two, one... Go!"

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone put their full strength into it, Lin Jiang included. They easily established a lead.

’Are my teammates really this strong?’

Seeing they were about to win, Lin Jiang slacked off a bit to make things more interesting.

Soon, their lead vanished completely.

It was only then that Lin Jiang realized it wasn’t that his team was strong—it seemed he was just a bit too powerful himself.

The boost from his high Physique also came with an increase in strength, giving him a massive advantage in a pure contest of power like this.

Back and forth they went, stuck in a stalemate. The people behind him were all pulling hard. Everyone was taking it seriously; their sense of team honor was quite strong.

Seeing the time was right, Lin Jiang exerted a little more force. He could clearly see the members of Team Two gritting their teeth.

Lin Jiang pulled harder, and the members of Team Two couldn’t hold on. They instantly lost their balance and, due to inertia, all tumbled onto the sand.

Lin Jiang lost his footing as well, falling backward and bumping into Fang Jie.

’So soft?’

"Sorry about that."

"It’s okay, it’s okay."

It hurt a little where he’d bumped her, but Fang Jie endured it. The children were cheering, and everyone was happy to have won the match.

Next was the match between Team Three and Team Four. While the others watched from the sidelines, Fang Jie walked off to the side and turned her back.

Just as she was adjusting her clothes, Wei Xue came over.

"Why are you over here instead of watching the match with the handsome guy?"

"He bumped into me just now. It really hurt."

"That’s the one downside of being so big, isn’t it? One little bump and you can’t take it."

Wei Xue gave Fang Jie a suggestive nudge, wiggling her eyebrows.

"That counts as some close contact. How did it feel?"

"He just bumped into me. What else is there to feel?"

Fang Jie reached into her top and adjusted her bra.

"Come on, let’s go back."

By the time the two of them returned, Team Three and Team Four had already finished their match. Team Three was the victor.

Immediately after was the consolation match to decide third and fourth place.

The gap between the two teams was pretty wide. Team Two easily won the match, taking third place.

"And now, Team One and Team Three will compete in the final match. The winner will be this competition’s champion and will receive a food prize, which will also be part of your dinner tonight."

"First place is ours!"

"No, it’s not! It’s ours!"

The children from both teams started shouting, neither side willing to back down.

In Lin Jiang’s opinion, this was the whole point of summer camp.

Soon, both teams were ready and began the final match.

Lin Jiang and Yu Bin both stood at the front of their lines. The latter’s gaze was provocative, his eyes darting between Lin Jiang and Fang Jie.

"Everyone, hold steady and follow my lead! With me here, there’s no way we can lose. We’ll definitely win," Yu Bin said loudly, as if victory was already in his grasp.

"Let’s go, everyone!" the other parents chimed in, slowly getting into the competitive spirit.

"Ready!" Jiang Xiaoqi said. "Three, two, one, go!"

At the signal, both sides began to pull. Lin Jiang gripped the rope tightly and slowly shifted his weight back.

Yu Bin was using every ounce of his strength, his face contorted and ferocious, but no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn’t move the rope a single inch.
