After all, they were keepers of a place and red light was accustomed to seeing things like this in bars. He responded by immediately swearing: “s.h.i.+t, you two f.u.c.kheads sure have the guts to lie to me! Do you want to be spanked or not? Making a scene in my place? And you are accusing this bro of causing trouble?! Hurry up and apologise!” As he said that, red light threw a kick, as if he was letting out the anger for s.h.i.+ Lei. 

s.h.i.+ Lei thought it was good enough as the traffic lights were just scared that he’ll go all out without worrying about anything. It was fine to show off his zhuangbility, but if things gets worse, they might really start a fight if they have been pressured too much. 

“Enough, it was nothing big anyways, it’s just this bro here who didn’t want to give up. Yiyi, get them a bill for ten dozens of beers and let them pay for it. Forget about drinking, you can have them and drink them slowly, I’m not interested to see it.”  

As s.h.i.+ Lei waved his hand, he was full of a leader’s demeanor. s.h.i.+ Lei simply wanted to admire himself; this level of acting was of the best actor! 

As red light heard that, he immediately kicked the short man: “Hurry up and pay for it!” 

Sun Yiyi did not know what to do as the short man really took out his card. s.h.i.+ Lei smiled: “Go, after you get bill, ask a waiter to send one dozen up. Deposit the rest for them and give them an alcohol card, then wait for me over there.” 

Although Sun Yiyi did not understand the situation, but she knew that there won’t be any more dangers. She still casted a worried glance at s.h.i.+ Lei. But as s.h.i.+ Lei seemed confident, she lowered her head and walked quickly out of the room. 

The short man also smiled and said:  “Bro, I really failed to see your greatness. I drank a bit too much just then and was talking nonsense. I have eyes but didn’t recognize Mt. Tai.You are broad-minded and you didn’t lower yourself to my level. I’m really sorry!” 

s.h.i.+ Lei waved his hands and said: “Forget about it. Still saying the same thing: you came out to have fun. Most girls who sell beers really don’t care as long as you give them money, even spending the night. But there are always girls who are not like this. You are not short on money; if you ask, there are plenty beauties who are willing to drink with you. Why pick on a girl doing a part time job?” 

“Yes, yes, yes. You are right, we’ll never do this again!” 

s.h.i.+ Lei finally nodded in satisfaction, thinking that he had shown off enough and should leave now. 

Then, he threw away the beer bottle in his hand, he walked towards red light and patted him on the shoulder, and deeply said: “Sorry, it’s a bit messy here. Get a waiter to clean it up.” 

BeingAs been patted by s.h.i.+ Lei, red light lowered half of his body uncontrollably, repeatedly saying: “Trivial matter, trivial matter, you need not to worry. Where are you sitting? I’ll go and give you a toast.” 

“No need, I’m having a talk with my friends. We’ll leave as soon as we finish.” With that, s.h.i.+ Lei walked out of the room. 

The instant when the door closed, s.h.i.+ Lei heard the short man ask in panic: “Who was that? Why are you……?” And red light swore: “Holy s.h.i.+t, he was someone who dared to play with his life. Thank G.o.d you didn’t make a move today, otherwise you are waiting to die. Last time, he was chasing after three f.u.c.king people and I just happened to see it. You know why? This person would beat you to death without a f.u.c.king word. Don’t mention us, if my head was here, he won’t even afford to offend him. When you are out there, hot-headed people are afraid of those with a rough att.i.tude, and those who are rough are afraid of those who dared to play with their lives! You dare to challenge him, I’m telling you if it wasn’t me to kick you, that bottle might have ended up through you!” 

“Thank you bro, thank you. Holy s.h.i.+t, I couldn’t tell at all!” 

“Good lens, bad frame. Nowadays, it’s not easy to muddle in the society!” Red light exclaimed. 

s.h.i.+ Lei laughed secretly and closed the door entirely, then went downstairs. 

Sun Yiyi stood at the head of the stairs, finally relieved as she saw s.h.i.+ Lei come back safely. 

But she still held onto s.h.i.+ Lei worriedly and asked: “s.h.i.+tou ge, are you ok? I just went to room 17 to look for your friends but no one was there. They are probably all dancing and I don’t know them.” 

The girl’s seemed as if she’d been wronged. Sun Yiyi was s.h.i.+ Lei’s neighbour before. At that time, they were living in an old house. It was a big yard with three families living in it. The other family was a lot older than them and their children were already of age and have moved out. s.h.i.+ Lei and Sun Yiyi were friends who grew up together. 

Afterwards, the place was demolished, but both families chose the same neighbourhood again and they were neighbours opposite each other, so they continued their affections as fiances. 

Until three years ago, when Sun Yiyi’s father pa.s.sed away. Her mother met a businessman and sold their house a year and half ago, and brought Sun Yiyi along to Wu Dong with the man. 

At that time s.h.i.+ Lei was still at school. When he went back, things remained the same, but the people had changed. Since then, his connection with Sun Yiyi was broken. 

Sun Yiyi was three years younger than him, she should be in first year university this year. s.h.i.+ Lei did consider the possibility of her getting into the same university as him so they would meet by chance. And now, they actually did meet, but wasn’t expecting meeting in an occasion like this. 

“Why did you come and do this? Don’t you know that fish and dragons are mixed in together here?” 

It was fine to not talk about it. As soon as s.h.i.+ Lei asked, Sun Yiyi could not help but let tears fall down like a pearl necklace snapped in half. It made s.h.i.+ Lei panic, he quickly pulled Sun Yiyi out of the bar.  

“Don’t cry, tell me what’s the happening!” s.h.i.+ Lei was fl.u.s.tered and tried to wipe her tears away. The pa.s.sing pedestrians all glanced over at them, obviously a.s.suming that s.h.i.+ Lei was bullying her. 

Sun Yiyi did not say anything other than sobbing continuously whilst shaking her head furiously,. 

“Ok, Yiyi, I was a bit too hard. Don’t cry, don’t rush and say it slowly, ok?”

As Sun Yiyi continued to cry, a pa.s.sing girl pointed at s.h.i.+ Lei and said: “Aren’t you being shameless? Why bully a girl? Be a man!” 

Sun Yiyi quickly raised her head and spoke to the girl with good intentions: “No, no, s.h.i.+tou ge is not bullying me. It’s me, I’ll stop crying, please don’t scold him.” 

The girl looked at Sun Yiyi hesitantly. Seeing that Sun Yiyi was nodding, she finally said: “Oh, ok. Sorry. But you are a man, don’t make a girl cry like this.” 

After dragging Sun Yiyi back into the bar, she finally stopped crying. s.h.i.+ Lei helped her wipe her tears away and asked softly: “Yiyi, did something happen to your family? My parents said your stepfather’s financial condition was pretty good. Why did you have to come and do part-time job here?” 

Sun Yiyi’s pretty face immediately displayed traces of anger and said: “That’s not my stepfather. My mum didn’t marry him and he was a liar. He scammed my mum to buy a house here in Wu Dong, then he took the money and disappeared.” 

s.h.i.+ Lei was shocked. As he now understood the reason to why she did not contact him for more than a year, his heart was filled with resentment towards the liar. But nothing could be done, he could only comfort Sun Yiyi. 

“Then after more than a year…… Why didn’t you go back to Run Zhou?” Run Zhou was s.h.i.+ Lei and Sun Yiyi’s hometown. 

“Mum said our house in Run Zhou is gone. Even if we go back, we are just losing our own face. We rented a house and is living here.” 

“Even if you don’t have a house, I remember that aunty was an accountant before, it shouldn’t be hard for her to find a job……” 

Sun Yiyi suddenly bursted into tears again and said: “My mum’s sick, I want to earn money to treat her sickness!”
