I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

Fei Zai Dong's eyes widened in disbelief. He never expected that Jian Ge, the former Red Stick thug he had hired at great expense, would be knocked out by Li Chang'an's driver and bodyguard in a single exchange.

Damn it, I can't beat him if I don't get help, and even if I do get help, I still can't beat his people. How frustrating!

You're bullying the underworld, aren't you!

The remaining thugs were horrified and turned pale when they saw Huang Zhengli's amazing triple kick in mid-air.

Didn't Fei Zai Dong say that he was only here to deal with a greenhorn who knew a little kung fu? How come there are experts here too?

Realizing that Huang Zhengli was no ordinary person, those who acted quickly hurriedly jumped on their motorcycles and sped away in all directions.

They were just hired by Fei Zai Dong to make a show of things, and they only came to make a few Hong Kong dollars.

It's not worth ruining yourself over Fei Zai Dong.

Of course, there were also a few thugs who were on good terms with Fei Zai Dong and were also very stubborn. They gritted their teeth, picked up their weapons, and shouted as they surrounded him, wanting to take care of Huang Zhengli together.

But Huang Zhengli's expression remained unchanged, and his leg techniques fell like a storm.

Fast, accurate, and ruthless!

With each step, someone fell to the ground and groaned in pain; in an instant, there was no one left standing beside them.

And the arrogant Fei Zai Dong was trampled under his feet.

Woo-wah—Woo-wah—

Just then, the sharp sound of police sirens pierced the noise of the street.

The thugs lying on the ground groaning instantly fell silent, their already pale faces turning even whiter from being kicked.

Huang Zhengli raised his hand to adjust the American-style baseball cap on his head, and his gaze behind his sunglasses first fell on Ruan Xiaotang.

At this moment, the girl was at a loss, but her moist eyes remained fixed on Li Chang'an, as if she were looking for her pillar of support.

Huang Zhengli chuckled inwardly. Anzai looked honest, but he had quite the luck with women and a lot of guts. He dared to have an ambiguous relationship with the daughter of Mr. Wen, a Justice of the Peace, while also being entangled with such a young and beautiful girl.

However, he didn't want to get too involved in the romantic affairs of young people.

Clearing his throat, Huang Zhengli looked at Li Chang'an and said:

"Leave the rest to me and my friends at the police station. Anzai, you take your girlfriend and leave first."

My little girlfriend...

Ruan Xiaotang's pretty face flushed bright red because of that unintentional address. She clutched the hem of her school uniform skirt tightly with both hands, too embarrassed to lift her head.

The scene was chaotic, and police sirens were approaching.

Li Chang'an couldn't explain, so he could only thank Huang Zhengli first, and then walk towards Ruan Xiaotang, preparing to take her away first.

As the students watching Li Chang'an approached, they all instinctively stepped aside, making way for him.

They whispered among themselves, speculating about Li Chang'an's identity, their gazes towards him filled with a mixture of fear and admiration.

It is estimated that after today, the title of school bully at Sai Wan Yuk Choi Middle School will completely change hands.

Li Chang'an was unaware of the chaotic thoughts of those around him. He walked straight to Ruan Xiaotang, gently took her slightly cool hand, and pulled her quickly out of the school gate.

Li Chang'an found Ruan Xiaotang's bicycle in the parking shed outside the school gate.

This bicycle was used by Shen Daining when she was in good health to go grocery shopping. It's not small; it can easily seat two people.

So Li Chang'an let Ruan Xiaotang sit in the back seat, he got on the bike nimbly, started riding, and quickly left the noisy school gate.

Li Chang'an was driving very fast, and Ruan Xiaotang had to hold him tightly around the waist with both hands, feeling the boy's hot body temperature and firm abdominal muscles.

The two of them were gradually carried away by the evening breeze on their bicycles, drifting further and further away.

After calming down, Ruan Xiaotang finally couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Chang'an, who is that uncle at the school gate...?"

"You can call him Master Huang. He is a very good senior I met when I was working on the film set."

He was just dropping me off on his way to pick you up; I didn't expect to run into Fei-zai Dong.

Li Chang'an rode his bicycle and said softly:

"Luckily, you told me to pick you up this afternoon, otherwise today would have been troublesome."

The evening breeze gently caressed Ruan Xiaotang's fair forehead, lifting a few strands of soft black hair.

The girl pursed her pink lips and blinked gently.

From Li Chang'an's display of skill last night to the appearance of a mysterious master like Master Huang beside him today.

Ruan Xiaotang suddenly realized that she didn't seem to understand the boy next door as well as she had imagined.

The girl's arms, which were wrapped around his waist, tightened unconsciously.

Li Chang'an assumed that he was riding too fast, which made her feel uneasy, so he gradually slowed down.

After a moment's hesitation, he said to Ruan Xiaotang:

"Xiao Tang, I'll take you to school and pick you up from school from now on. It's not safe for you to travel alone right now."

"Does Brother Chang'an come every day...? Ah, I mean, I don't want to trouble you."

"We're all neighbors, there's nothing to worry about. If it weren't for Aunt Shen giving my younger siblings and me a place to live, we might still be homeless right now."

Li Chang'an thought Ruan Xiaotang was just embarrassed, so he smiled.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Chang'an."

The setting sun cast long shadows of the two of them.

Ruan Xiaotang responded softly, pressing her face against Li Chang'an's broad, warm back.

She could smell the fresh scent of soapberry, and as she inhaled it, her restless heart gradually calmed down.

……

……

Another dangerous incident happened to Ruan Xiaotang today, so Li Chang'an decided to treat her to a good meal.

He rode his bicycle with Ruan Xiaotang on the back, all the way to the dock market.

As soon as they came to a stop, Ruan Xiaotang patted the little rabbit and volunteered, "Brother Chang'an, I'll go buy groceries! I'm really good at bargaining!"

Li Chang'an nodded and split up with Ruan Xiaotang.

Xiao Tang went to buy groceries, while he wandered around the market looking for a staple food, and soon picked out a fine Wenchang chicken.

Wenchang chicken originates from Hainan, and Wenchang poached chicken is considered the top of the four famous dishes of Hainan.

This chicken is known for its thin skin, crispy bones, tender and sweet meat, and rich aroma.

Its price, like its taste, is a cut above the rest, reaching a high price of HK$35 per chicken.

Just as Li Chang'an was about to pay, Ruan Xiaotang returned excitedly carrying a bag of vegetables.

Just as she was happily about to show off to Li Chang'an how she had outsmarted and outmaneuvered Li Chang'an to get a few dollars off the bill, Xiao Tang's wisdom came into play.

Li Chang'an took out several tens of Hong Kong dollars to buy a whole chicken, and that wasn't all. He then turned around and went to pick out all kinds of fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and she quickly grabbed Li Chang'an's sleeve, anxiously whispering, "..."

"Brother Chang'an, even if you're rich now, you can't live like this. You're buying so many expensive things."

"Even during Chinese New Year, my mom and I wouldn't eat like this! You...you're so wasteful!"

She bit her lower lip, her cheeks puffed out slightly, she was genuinely a little angry.

Seeing her like this, Li Chang'an couldn't help but tease her:

"Even if I run out of money, I still have Xiaotang and Aunt Shen to support me."

"It's okay if you buy too much. I just bought a refrigerator, and it will either be delivered this morning or tomorrow at the latest. You can just leave the groceries at my place."

Ruan Xiaotang's cheeks flushed, and she couldn't hear the rest of the sentence clearly. She muttered softly:

"Who wants to support you... You're such a spendthrift, your mother and I can't afford to support you."

As the two were walking and strolling, someone suddenly called out to Li Chang'an.

He turned around and saw that it was the fish stall owner he had saved when his youngest son fell to his death.

The fishmonger walked up to Li Chang'an and complained with a smile:

"My benefactor, young brother, why haven't you come to visit me these past two days?"

I recently received a lot of really nice, large lobsters. Would you like to take some home?

Li Chang'an said helplessly:

"Uncle, it's because you never charge me that I feel embarrassed to come back."

"My benefactor, young brother, you saved my son, what are a little seafood compared to that?"

Li Chang'an shook his head, scooped a large, fresh grouper from the fish tank at the fish stall, and said:

"You have to pay for this today, or I'm leaving right now."

The fishmonger couldn't refuse him, so he symbolically accepted some fish and gave him two extra handfuls of fresh fish.

Seeing that they had bought enough, Li Chang'an took Ruan Xiaotang on their bicycles and rode towards Shek Tong Tsui.

On the way, Ruan Xiaotang leaned back in the back seat and finally couldn't help but ask in a low voice about what the fish stall owner had mentioned earlier.

As Li Chang'an rode his bicycle, he briefly recounted how he had saved the child who had fallen from the building.

After hearing this, Ruan Xiaotang's face immediately puffed up like a little bun in a huff. She tugged at Li Chang'an's sleeve and said with a hint of reproach:

"Brother Chang'an, this is too dangerous! What if you accidentally fall from the building while rescuing someone?"

"Xiao Tang, if you had been by my side at the time, would you have stopped me from saving people?"

Ruan Xiaotang shook her head, her puffed-up cheeks slowly relaxing, a shallow dimple curving her lips as she smiled earnestly:

"No, I won't stop you."

Why?

"Because... only someone who rushes forward without regard for their own safety is like Brother Chang'an."

And that's how you helped me too.

Ruan Xiaotang added another sentence quietly in her mind.
