Chapter 16 Want a date? Sure!

Yu Hao was incredibly angry. He looked at Xiao Bing and thought, ‘although he’s better looking and his temperament is better than mine, that was it. What’s more, he’s dressed in rags and doesn’t even have decent clothes. He shouldn’t be wealthy. How could Yezi like him? She is really picky about boys, I must have overthought it.’

Yu Hao hurried here because one of his friends saw Yezi in the noodle shop with a man. He came here hastily after hearing it.

Yu Hao dispelled the worry in his heart. He asked, “Yezi, this man next to you, why don’t you introduce him?”

“Hello, I’m Yezi’s good friend.” Xiao Bing stood up with a smile and held out his right hand at the same time. The words ‘good friend’, which Xiao Bing had emphasized, made Yu Hao frown.

“I’m Yu Hao, Yezi’s friend.” Yu Hao quickly shook hands with Xiao Bing and drew back his hand. He even took out a handkerchief and wiped his hand as if he had touched something dirty.

Xiao Bing felt a little sick. ‘What the hell, he’s such a sissy?’

Obviously, Yezi, Xu Wenting, and Chen Yuanyuan also didn’t like Yu Hao’s style. If this boy’s family weren’t rich, and his uncle weren’t the director of the Public Security Bureau, Jinsha Branch, he would never have so many followers. It was also because of his background that he had the courage to pursue Yezi.

Xiao Bing found Yu Hao disgusting, and Yu Hao felt that Xiao Bing was too poor. He stopped paying attention to Xiao Bing and fished out two movie tickets from his pocket. He handed them to Yezi and said, “Yezi, tonight ‘Running Holiday’ is on. It stars Shangguan Xiaoxue, a famous actress in the entertainment circle. I’d like to go with you.”

“She doesn’t have time.” Xiao Bing answered for Yezi. He didn’t know what the matter was with him. Perhaps because Yu Hao had just been rude to Li Hong, or perhaps it was because Xiao Bing felt uncomfortable that Yu Hao asked Yezi out. Either way, he didn’t like the boy.

Yu Hao finally realized how intrusive this person was. He still needed to maintain a somewhat gentlemanly image in front of the girl he liked, so he just asked coldly, “I was asking her. How would you know she doesn’t have time?”

“Because tonight she has a date…” Xiao Bing smiled. His teeth were so white it made Yu Hao want to beat him. “With me.”

Yu Hao got angry. After all, he was just a student, and he couldn’t hide his feelings for long. He gave Xiao Bing a bold stare, then looked at Yezi with questioning eyes.

However, Yezi only looked at Xiao Bing with gentleness. Xiao Bing felt sucked in by her eyes. ‘This girl is really good at acting’, he thought. If she were an actress, she would sweep all the awards for acting.

Yezi didn’t say anything, instead looking at Xiao Bing with loving eyes, which gave Xu Wenting and Chen Yuanyuan goosebumps.

Silence meant more than words at this moment. It was such a blow for Yu Hao.

Yu Hao pulled a long face and couldn’t hide his anger any longer. Yu Hao yelled, “Yezi, tell me. How could you like such an old-fashioned man like him? How could he compare with me when he’s so ragged? Is he richer than me? Is he more powerful than me?”

Yezi replied in a calm voice, “Yu Hao, what do you have besides your rich and powerful family?” Every single word was like a knife stabbing at Yu Hao’s heart.

Yu Hao’s face turned pale. Yezi continued, “I’ve already told you before, leave me alone. There is no way anything will happen between you and me. As you can see, I already have a man I like. So stay away from me from now on, okay?”

Yu Hao looked at Xiao Bing with hatred, which made Xiao Bing feel uncomfortable. Especially when he remembered that Yu Hao cleaned his hands with his handkerchief. He felt… He felt that Yu Hao was like an eunuch in ancient times. This boy wasn’t ‘cleaned’, was he?

“Fucker, what are you looking at?”

“Nothing…” Xiao Bing glanced at Yu Hao again, “I just wanted to see if you were in good health.”

“I don’t know if I’m in good health, but I know you soon won’t be…” Yu Hao took a step back and said to his four lackeys standing behind him, “Break one of his legs for me. I’ll take responsibility for it!”

Yezi stood up unexpectedly. She said coldly, with a straight face, “Yu Hao, he’s my friend. You said you’ll take responsibility, but can you afford it?”

Chen Yuanyuan and Xu Wenting couldn’t sit still anymore. Chen Yuanyuan shot at him first, “You’ve asked your lackeys to warn the boys in our class to stay away from Yezi. Yezi isn’t your girlfriend. Is it any of your business who she dates?”

Xu Wenting also said, “Yezi’s right. What else do you have besides your rich and powerful family? If it were me, I might despise you as well.”

“Bitch!” Since Yu Hao already offended Xiao Bing, he threw caution to the wind. “I always get what I want. You guys break his leg. Yezi, you come with me now!”

Yezi looked at Yu Hao calmly and asked, “To where?”

Yu Hao grabbed Yezi’s wrist and grinned, “To do something that can’t be undone.”

Xiao Bing flung up one foot towards Yu Hao before he could touch Yezi. He shouted, “Damn, you can’t find this kind of plot even in dumb dramas.”

Xiao Bing’s foot landed on Yu Hao’s stomach, making him fly out with a loud bang. He knocked over two tables, one after another, and fell to the ground.

Silence.

It was only silence in the restaurant.

Xu Wenting and Chen Yuanyuan looked at Xiao Bing with gleaming eyes. What did it mean to ‘save a damsel in distress’? This is exactly what it meant!

Earlier, they had thought Xiao Bing wasn’t good enough for Yezi because he wasn’t influential, despite his good temperament. But now they suddenly felt that it was a really great thing to find a soldier as a boyfriend.

The other four men who came with Yu Hao were also overwhelmed after they saw him sent flying. Yu Hao was 178cm tall and weighed 75kg, they could never blow away a man like him that far.

Yu Hao lay on the ground vomiting so hard that it felt like he would puke out his innards at any moment. Some of the guests were scared away while others were disgusted and left… Apart from Yu Hao’s friends and Xiao Bing, only the workers in the noodle restaurant stayed.

Xiao Bing looked at Yu Hao’s four lackeys. The four men looked at each other and ran towards Yu Hao at almost the same time. They helped Yu Hao up, who had almost thrown up his whole stomach. As they ran toward the door, they shouted at Xiao Bing ferociously, “Don’t think that we’re scared of you. We will come back after we send him to the hospital.”

“Stop!”

Xiao Bing called coldly. Everyone froze.

“Put him down!”

The four of them looked at each and let go at the same time. Yu Hao fell to the ground on his face with a bang.

“Scram!”

The four men looked at each other in silence. Finally, the other three all looked at the short haired man, the one named Laitou. He spat on the ground and cursed, “Damn, there are four of us. Why are we afraid of him? Let’s leave! We’re not scared!”

He left first, and the other three followed behind him.

Xiao Bing walked towards Yu Hao slowly. Xu Wenting hesitated and said, “Brother Bing, let him go. His family… you can’t mess with them.”

“Yes, Brother Bing, you’ve already beat him up anyway.”

Xiao Bing didn’t answer, walking all the way in front of Yu Hao before stopping.

Xu Wenting and Chen Yuanyuan hoped Yezi would stop him, but Yezi shook her head and smiled, “I think he knows what he’s doing.”

Xu Wenting said with a wry smile, “That’s insane. If he beats Yu Hao again, he must be crazy. Yezi, don’t forget, he isn’t like you. He doesn’t have the Ye family as a backer. He can’t afford to offend the director of the Public Security Bureau. Can you get your family to protect him?”

Yezi lightly shook her head with a smile, “There’s a type of person in the world who would never need the protection of others.”

Xu Wenting was a little freaked out, “God, I don’t know why you’re so confident. I only hope your Soldier Brother isn’t too rash.”

Yu Hao stood up from the ground, struggling. He was just a student that liked to bully others because he came from a rich and powerful family. But in the end, he was just a student, and a spoiled one at that. Xiao Bing’s kick had made him feel pain beyond anything he felt ever before.

Xiao Bing looked at him and said, “I was very unhappy when you asked them to break my leg.”

Yu Hao looked at Xiao Bing with his face covered with tears and snot.

“I think you’ve already figured out by now. Even though your family is rich and powerful, that’s your family, not you. The best place to find a helping hand is at the end of your own arm. Don’t try to threaten me with your family. I’m not afraid. If I wanted to beat you up now, you wouldn’t stand a chance even if there were two of you.”

“What… What do you want?”

“Apologize.”

Yu Hao gritted his teeth and clenched his fist. He gathered his courage and shouted, “I’m sorry!”

Xiao Bing opened his mouth, showing his white teeth again. But this time Yu Hao no longer felt anger. Instead, he felt a little scared. Xiao Bing grinned, “I refuse your apology.”

Bang! Everyone was stunned. Yu Hao had disappeared. Everyone ran to the door with their mouths opened wide from surprise, except for Yezi. No one dared to believe that Xiao Bing kicked Yu Hao out the door and across the street. It was dozens of meters away!

Seeing that Yu Hao fell to the ground unmoving, Chen Yuanyuan warbled, “Is… Is he dead?”

Xiao Bing shook his head and said, “He just passed out.”

“His uncle is the police director,” said Xu Wenting.

“So what? I had to do it.” Xiao Bing walked towards Li Hong and patted her on the shoulder, “I did this for you. He shoved you when they came in. My people, no matter who they are… won’t be bullied by others.”

Li Hong froze, her eyes moist. Yezi’s eyes glowed with emotion after she saw what happened.

Suddenly, Xiao Bing looked at Yezi and asked with a smile, “Will I still get a date tonight?”

Yezi smiled coyly, “Sure!”
