"Shut up!"
This "shut up" seed even more intense than Qin Chuan’s, leaving Ye Tian montarily at a loss for words. Perhaps it’s a sentence all won love to say.
Seeing sothing amiss in Ling Rong’s expression, Ye Tian wanted to lean in for a closer look, but got deterred by the girl’s glance, "What else did he say?"
"He also said the duck is tasty and wanted you to try it..."
"Cut the crap! If you don’t want to die, only ntion the important stuff."
Ye Tian silently wept inside, how am I supposed to know what’s important, just spell it out for already!
"He also talked about so Asia-Pacific, U.S. politics, and ntioned returning to the motherland, and said in life we are people of Huaxia, in death we beco ghosts of Huaxia. That’s all, I really don’t know anything else."
Ye Tian shook his head like a rattle-drum, Ling Rong looked away irritably, not wanting to see him any longer, but two trails of tears ran down her face.
Of course, she understood why Gu Zhun would not return to his country. Among those unnad reasons, one indeed concerned her. For Gu Zhun, this sole reason was probably why he wouldn’t return to his country at all and it was also all the odds and struggles he faced between two great nations and the political arena.
As for the topic of how to close the gap between a man and a woman, many predecessors had provided sufficient experiences to the younger generations. Sotis, only a certain key fits a certain lock, and sotis, one key can open a hundred locks, but keys like the latter are hard to co by. Because the chances of such keys appearing are slim, and the required conditions are usually very demanding.
But today, Ye Tian just happened to co across one.
Several punks loitering by the riverside were drawn to Ling Rong, who was wearing tight clothes and had dyed red hair, and they beca interested on the spot. The whole street along the river was lined with bars, and there are hardly any decent won to be t at a bar street, especially not one that’s dressed so strikingly, with such a bold hairstyle—it’s obvious she’s tempting the hearts of all n.
But when they spotted Ye Tian standing behind her, they felt rather unlucky; these two must be a couple having an argunt, right? What’s the point then?
"Bro, is your girlfriend throwing a tantrum?"
Ye Tian shook his head, "She’s not my girlfriend."
"Wife?"
He shook his head again.
"Sister?"
"We’re not really acquainted; we’ve just t."
Alright then! That settles it!
Five on one? They’ve got to fight for it anyway!
A tall guy with long hair ca over, slung his arm around Ye Tian’s shoulder, and whispered, "Buddy, won are everywhere, right? Why bother with this one? Let have her, okay?"
Ye Tian nodded, pointed at Ling Rong, and said, "If she agrees, sure, I have no objection."
"Cool!"
The long-haired man let go of Ye Tian’s shoulder and winked at the rest, and the five of them approached Ling Rong together, asking, "Sister, wanna have a drink with us?"
Ling Rong breathed a sigh of relief and looked up. The punks were instantly stunned by Ling Rong’s heavenly appearance. Such a girl should be a celebrity; why would she hang out here? But then again, it’s better that she’s here, a public blessing!
"Do you want to pick up?"
The guys were taken aback simultaneously, this girl is way too direct!
"Are you also thinking of tossing onto a bed and then taking turns with ?"
Damn! This girl is too aweso!
"I just don’t want to."
As he was about to speak, Ye Tian flashed into the crowd by the riverbank, positioning himself in front of Ling Rong. While fighting was one thing, letting Ling Rong fight would lead to fatalities, and Ye Tian did not want to invite that kind of trouble upon himself.
The hoodlums who just saw a glimpse of hope but got rejected felt very annoyed, realizing they had been played by this woman—and played hard. It was like getting slapped right in the face!
"Heh, what’s wrong, scared now? Weren’t you eager to co at ? Well, here I am. If you’ve got the guts, bring it on; if not, you might as well scurry ho, take a good look at your momma, suckle for a couple more years, get your fill and then co back to the streets. It’d spare you the embarrassnt."
Ye Tian was inwardly cursing. Granny, could you please shut up for a mont? It won’t be you who ends up fighting, and you are certainly not the one in a rush.
"F*ck it, beat the crap out of them!"
...
Watching those thugs lying on the ground, crying out in pain, Ling Rong showed no sign of feeling relieved. If it had not been for Ye Tian holding her back, quite a few might have ended up dead, particularly when her red hair seed to have exploded in anger—Ye Tian felt she was like a wild beast that couldn’t be tad!
"Why did you pull back just now?"
In the quiet alley, the only sounds were those of Ye Tian and Ling Rong, with her high heels clicking conspicuously on the pavent.
"Boss, if I hadn’t held you back, you would have killed soone."
"Well, if they died, they died. Your governnt won’t be able to pin it on anyway."
"But they’d bla !"
Ye Tian felt very wronged. However, Ling Rong was unfazed. "What’s that got to do with ?"
Playing the hero to save the beauty sure feels frustrating!
When they saw the street lights again, the two were already less than two streets away from the youth hostel. However, at this point, Ling Rong stopped, not intending to walk further.
"Why aren’t you going?"
Ling Rong looked ahead and then up at the sky. There were no stars, making it impossible to tell if it was clear or cloudy. In such a big city, it was rare to see stars in the sky.
"Why would an old man obey a wild child picked up from the streets?"
"Don’t talk nonsense," Ye Tian knew she was referring to both herself and Gu Zhun, "The bonds between people don’t co from nowhere. Don’t belittle yourself, and don’t bla yourself either."
"You don’t know a damn thing!"
Ling Rong turned her head, and her fierce gaze genuinely startled Ye Tian; he was certain this woman had taken more than one life.
Although stung by such a sarcastic retort, Ye Tian was left speechless and could only quietly stand behind her.
"I began rembering things when I was six. As to why it was when I was six, I have no idea. But when I started elentary school and had to introduce myself in front of the whole class, I said I was six years old. It seed as if everything started from then. Going to school, taking oaths under the party flag, adhering to the Three Principles of the People, learning the values of rites, righteousness, integrity, and honor, attending junior high school, becoming an apprentice, dyeing my hair, then going to college, all the way to the present..."
"Why did you dye it red?" Ye Tian suddenly felt his question was in poor taste.
Luckily, Ling Rong didn’t take it that way. "My hair is naturally red. It’s black that I dye it."
"Oh."
"I rember when I was ten, the first ti I talked to my grandfather about apprenticing myself to learn skills. He asked why and I said I wanted to avenge my parents who were killed by people under that red flag. I rember Grandpa trying to reason with , but I ignored him. He then sent to Buddha Light Mountain, where there was a Monk nad Shi Ran, with only one arm. Speaking of him, you may not recognize him, but he had a senior brother nad Master Xingyun, who is quite famous on the Mainland."
Ye Tian shook his head, "I don’t know about him."
