It would be fine. It’s not hard to move to another city.
The afternoon is quiet.
Sitting in a small, air-conditioned shop, watching the occasional passers-by through the glass, I could hear the rustle of store clerks sorting out shelves.
It was as if time had stood still.
Such leisurely time is rare, and Ren Xingliu did not feel bored. Instead, he took out his mobile phone, opened a stand-alone game page, handed it to the person opposite, and said with a smile: “Brother, help me pass this level.”
Song Chengkai’s declaration roused the deaf and awakened the unheard, that everyone was shocked on the spot, and the way they looked at him suddenly turned complicated and strange.
Especially for the green hair and his group, looking like they refused to accept this reality.
As soon as they received the news, they gathered their forces and chased here aggressively. They had just exchanged trash talk with Ding Shi, and they felt that they were not good enough to be tough guys.
Consider this from their point of view. They gathered their forces and rushed here with momentum as soon as they received the news. Then they have an altercation with Ding Shi, thinking that they were as tough as nails.
But what ended up happening was their boss was fussing over having a scar on his hand, he even consulted his nemesis for a remedy to get rid of the scar!
If this matter gets out, how could they show their face in the future?
For example, just at this moment, Ding Shi slowly looked over and said in a very sarcastic tone, “If you guys want to be fine young men, shouldn’t the first step be to avoid fighting?”
When he said that, he even seized them up and down, showing a hint of real-man compassion.
He didn’t expect these people, who usually would shout five and six at the dice, would be hiding such a delicate and fragile side.
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have spared the effort to argue with these people.
They might run back home and cry with tears and snobs running down their faces. It would have made him look like a big bully!
The green hair: “…”
Normally, he would have started fighting with him, but now, he could only turn his head in shame and look at Song Chengkai, hoping that his elder brother would wake up in time and say something to save him.
In any other time, he would already be fighting with the other party. But now, he could only turn his head in shame and eagerly looked at Song Chengkai, hoping that his boss would come to his senses and say something to salvage the situation.
Song Chengkai was actually feeling ashamed as well, but he didn’t know how to explain his behavior without admitting he cared about his appearance.
Wouldn’t it make him look more like a weirdo?
Therefore, when his underlings looked over, he instantly puffed his head and held his head high, acting in a more righteous and resolute demeanor.
Not only that, but he also had to ask in a loud voice, “What are you guys doing here?”
Correct, they were clearly the problem ones. Why would they all appear here for no reason whatsoever?
“Didn’t you say on the phone that you were tailing Ren Xingliu?” The green hair said in grievance, “We’re here to make you look good…”
Ding Shi also instantly raised his hand and reported, “Xing-bao, I received the notice that they came here to hinder you, so I rushed over at once.”
Ren Xingliu gave Song Chengkai a skeptical glance.
Song Chengkai: “!!!”
“It wasn’t me; I didn’t do that!” He panicked and slapped the green hair’s forehead. “I was just telling them that I tail—cough, I was just passing by. When did I tell you guys to come?”
The green hair became teary from the slap, and in a daze, he replied, “No, but…”
He really wanted to ask, with their grudges and grievances with Ren Xingliu, if their boss didn’t plan to hinder Ren Xingliu, then what?
But under such circumstances, he didn’t dare to say anymore.
No matter what, the matter was finally sorted out.
Simply put, this was a black dragon caused by inadequate communication, and their overly imagination.
Ren Xingliu also had an idea in his mind. After all, it was about young people, so he shook his head in disapproval and said seriously: “Young people are just too aggressive. This is not good. Everyone should be peaceful in the future. Be noble, be positive, and be a good, peace-loving citizen.”
Ren Xingliu was well-aware inside. After all was said and done, it was just young men being hot-headed. He shook his head disapprovingly and said earnestly, “Young people are too fond of fighting. That’s not good. In the future, everyone should strive for peace, be optimistic and a good and peace-loving citizen.”
On the contrary, Ding Shi has gradually become accustomed to Fa Xiao’s red and professional appearance these days, and even after the incident with those gang of friends, he has become more and more blindly identified with Fa Xiao.
While Ding Shi had already gotten somewhat accustomed to his childhood friend being both red and expert. Especially after the incident with those dog-like friends, he would follow his childhood friend even more blindly than before.
As long as the opponent appeared madder, their crazy boss would appear saner!
Lu Mao just felt a little better when he heard Song Chengkai speak up and agreed: “That’s right, you should avoid causing trouble in the future. If you are accidentally injured, it will be bad and leave sequelae.”
Just as the green hair was feeling slightly better, Song Chengkai spoke up and agreed, “What he said. You guys should cause less trouble in the future. What’s going to happen if you accidentally get hurt and get an after-effect, which won’t be good.”
The green hair and others: “……”
Damn it! It was still Song Chengkai who was acting the craziest!
Whatever the case, today’s fight wasn’t going to happen.
Furthermore, due to the sudden harmonious friendship between Ren Xingliu and Song Chengkai, they felt a trace of awkwardness from their earlier shouting match.
Ren Xingliu was indifferent and waved his hand, being very tolerant, “Well, it’s good that nothing had happened. Let’s go our respective ways then.”
The green hair and others exchanged a look with each other, having this nudging feeling that something was wrong.
Then there was always that one person; one guy came to his senses and instantly pointed to Bai Juanqiu, complaining in rage, “But he hit green hair earlier!”
Although the whole thing happened due to a misunderstanding, that tall guy didn’t hold back earlier.
Ren Xingliu’s face changed suddenly. “That actually happened? That’s uncalled for!”
The green hair instantly nodded. “That’s right. I demand an explanation…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ren Xingliu took large steps to Bai Juanqiu’s side, examined him and asked with concern, “Xiao Bai, are you hurt anywhere?”
Bai Juanqiu was feeling some unexplainable gloom in her heart, but seeing him so nervous, she suddenly felt a lot more relieved. Finally, there was a smile at the end of her eyes, and she said warmly, “It’s okay, I was impulsive.”
Originally, there was this unclear melancholy inside of Bai Juanqiu, but seeing how nervous youth was, he suddenly felt happier. There was even a hint of joy at the corner of his eyes. He said in a warm voice, “I’m not hurt, but I acted out first.”
Ren Xingliu soothed him, “It’s not your fault. There were so many of them. If it was anyone else, they would have been scared as well.”
After saying that, he looked back and faintly scanned through the green hair and his gang, saying coldly, “Since Xiao Bai is fine, I’ll pretend today didn’t happen. But if there’s a next time, I won’t be as courteous.”
The green hair: “…”
Wait a second, that wasn’t right. What was with this muckrake attack? When did this person show any signs of being scared?
Also, didn’t Ren Xingliu just go on and on about striving for peace? Why did he suddenly act so fierce?
And he didn’t know if it was all in his head or not, but when the youth’s expression turned grim, he looked even more terrifying than before.
So much so that the green hair felt weak in his knees for a moment, missing the chance to curse out.
This was when Song Chengkai reached out and tugged at him, grumbling, “Alright, off you go and stop embarrassing yourself.”
The green hair had no choice but to shallow the cuss words.
Oh well, it was embarrassing enough today.
This was how the huge battle vanished without a trace, very awkwardly.
Before leaving, Song Chengkai said goodbye to Ren Xingliu with some reluctance, but there was really nothing in common between them, so he thought for a while and could only ask dryly: “Is that scar removal prescription… really effective? “
Just before leaving, Song Chengkai reluctantly bid farewell to Ren Xingliu, but there was really no common topic between them. After pondering for a moment, he could only ask with eagerness, “Is the scar remedy…really effective?”
Ren Xingliu wasn’t feeling as patient as before because the green hair and others had frightened Bai Juanqiu.
Acting neither too salty nor mild, he replied, “You’ll know once you give it a try.”
This was actually a secret recipe taught to him by an imperial physician from the Sheng Dynasty.
The formula was certainly effective, but he didn’t bother going into details.
Song Chengkai nodded. “Alright, I’ll give it a try once I’m back.”
Others: “…”
The corners of the green hair’s mouth twitched, and he instructed his gang in a low voice, “No one is allowed to bring up what happened today.”
These people instantly nodded, and they were even more resolute than the green hair. “We won’t mention it. We will take it to our grave.”
“The one that brings it up will be the final remark.”
Hilarious to think they would do that. They still wanted to keep their tough guy image, so why would they let others know that their boss was actually a fine young man who was addicted to getting rid of his scar!
–
On their way out of the parking lot, Ding Shi gave the others a call, “No need to come anymore. The matter has been resolved.”
But the other end didn’t believe it, so they asked more questions.
Ding Shi wanted to vent about today, but after thinking over it, he held it in.
Oh well, Song Chengkai didn’t have it easy either. He probably had been working hard to suppress his true nature for years.
Ding Shi felt that as a true man, it was quite inappropriate to argue with a hard-faced yet delicate young man in his blooming period.
Besides, Song Chengkai didn’t do anything to Ren Xingliu, and actually, he was quite friendly.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, he finally gave a vague answer, “You all know how strong A-Xing is. They didn’t dare to do anything.”
After hanging up the phone, he was about to give a small report when he saw Ren Xingliu still holding Bai Juanqiu’s hand, checking it over and over again, and asked patiently: “Is it really not hurt? If it hurts, speak out bravely, don’t show off. .”
After ending the call, he was about to report to his childhood friend, but he saw Ren Xingliu holding onto Bai Juanqiu’s hand, still doing an examination and patiently asking, “Are you really not hurt anywhere? It also takes courage to show weakness; if you’re hurting anywhere, it’s not the time to show off.”
The haze in Bai Juanqiu’s eyes was completely gone by now, there was even a flicker of light inside. “I’m not hurting, really.”
Ding Shi: “…”
Did his childhood friend have a perception problem? 6h3 qu
Bai Juanqiu, who might as well be a centaur, was able to lift the green-haired guy single handedly. What was there to fret about?!
Or could it be that Bai Juanqiu was the same as Song Chengkai, only appearing strong on the surface?
Ding Shi was lost deep in his thoughts.
After fussing over Bai Juanqiu, Ren Xingliu found that Ding Shi was done with his phone call and asked, “You got it resolved?”
“Yes.” Ding Shi nodded and blinked at him.
Although Ren Xingliu was speechless, he knew the other was well-intentioned, so he sighed and said, “Oh well, since you’re here already, let’s go eat together then.”
When they arrived at the hotpot restaurant, their number happened to be next.
The three of them went in and sat down, scanning the QR code to start ordering.
Ren Xingliu and Bai Juanqiu sat on one side, so the two of them shared a phone and huddled against each other to look at the menu.
Ding Shi initially wanted to ask his childhood friend what he would like to eat, but as he looked up, he instantly swallowed back the question.
Ren Xingliu’s head was almost pressing against Bai Juanqiu’s chest!
This was obviously not the first time, because Bai Juanqiu very naturally leaned back and slightly arched his arms upward, making it easier and smoother for Ren Xingliu to lean closer. FXwBvN
Ren Xingliu didn’t find this off at all. He stayed in this posture, tapping away on Bai Juanqiu’s phone.
Ding Shi: “…”
He didn’t know if he was seeing things or not, but it felt that he himself was glowing.
After finally finishing their order, the two also sat apart. Ding Shi was able to calm down a bit, and as he was about to ask about today’s events once more.
At this moment, the sound of drumming suddenly came from behind, followed by a deafening music that echoed through the entire room.
The sound was powerful and instantly drew all the guests’ attention.
Ding Shi’s words were also interrupted. He turned around and saw that at a table not far behind them, a circle of hot pot restaurant clerks had gathered around them.
Ding Shi’s question was also interrupted, and when he turned his head, he found that at the table not far behind them was surrounded by the staff at some time.
The well-trained staff stood in a half circle and surrounded the table, dancing and singing to upbeat music.
The staff in the center raised his hands above his head and unfolded a large light sign, blinding the whole restaurant with two colorful words on top of it.
—Happy Birthday.
They were a few tables away from the celebration, but they were able to feel the quaking.
The sound was so grand that many guests had to raise their phones and record this moment.
“Fuck.” Ding Shi said, “Here we go again…”
The hot pot industry has been booming in recent years. Hot pot restaurants of various brands have come up with unique services. It is not uncommon to give guests snacks, manicures, and even massages. The most talked about among netizens is the birthday service offered by each store. Celebrations.
In the past few years, the hotpot industry has become overly saturated and increasingly competitive, with various brands of hotpot restaurants offering unique perks, such as snacks, manicures, and even massages. The most talked about by netizens was the birthday special offered by each store.
In internet terms, these celebrations could be summed up in one sentence: They only focused on their own revelry and didn’t care about the life or death of the birthday stars.
Ding Shi’s hair stood up just watching and ridiculed, “This is fucking crazy. What kind of large-scale social death scene is this? If I was the subject, I would leave this city overnight…”
Before he could finish speaking, Ren Xingliu interrupted with a disapproving expression, “Nonsense, this is clearly very interesting.”
While he was in the chaotic world, just the concept of living was a luxury, so almost no one celebrated birthdays. When they did, there was always a trace of melancholy, the question of if they could live to see next year looming over their heads.
Moreover, at that time, there were starving people everywhere, there were even times when a village’s population was less than the number of employees in this restaurant, never mind seeing a bustling scene.
Therefore, he could feel the festive and liveliness from the sight of this scene.
The most important thing is that he saw that the birthday girl’s little gift was a pair of yellow toy ducks, which matched his little yellow ones and could just be stuck on the front of the car.
Most importantly, he saw that the birthday star’s small gift was a pair of yellow toy ducks, which was a perfect match with his Xiao Huang. There happened to be a perfect spot on Xiao Huang’s head where he could stick it.
Ding Shi: “?”
Before he could react, Ren Xingliu had already called out to a passing server, saying, “Hello, we are also celebrating a birthday today.”
The birthday celebration service at this hotpot restaurant only required an additional fee. They wouldn’t verify the information. So, it didn’t really matter if there was a real birthday.
The server warmly nodded from this and asked, “Alright, then may I ask, which of you is the birthday star?”
At first, Ren Xingliu wanted to be the one, until his mood was dampened by Ding Shi’s words.
So, he turned his head to look at Ding Shi, asking with squinted eyes, “What did you say just earlier?”
Ding Shi: “…”
His lips trembled. Then he finally looked at the server, saying bravely, “Me.”
It would be fine. It was also feasible to move to another city to live.
