I practiced my spirituality alone in Hong Kong.

"Xiao Tang, is it true? You really won an air conditioner at the Bull Challenge?"

"Of course, when have I ever lied to you? Lying makes your nose grow longer, look at my nose, hasn't it grown longer?"

People come and go in the corridor after school.

Ruan Xiaotang raised her hand and touched the tip of her nose without changing her expression. After confirming that there was nothing wrong, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

She then began to recount, with exaggerated detail, the electric bull challenge she had undertaken that night during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"...In the end, a friend and I went in and out together, hacking away for fifteen minutes, and finally subdued that rampaging electric bull and took down the air conditioner!"

Ruan Xiaotang felt that she hadn't completely boasted; she and Li Chang'an had indeed worked together on the bull for fifteen minutes.

However, her five minutes don't count... Of course, Xiaotang felt that such a minor issue could be ignored when introducing someone to a friend.

After hearing this, Xu Yunduo and the other female classmates began to look at Ruan Xiaotang in a new light.

"Xiao Tang may be small, but she's incredibly athletic!"

Ruan Xiaotang: "..."

Why does this sound like something bad?

"Xiao Tang, how does it feel to have the air conditioning on? I've never used it before. What's the difference between it and a fan?"

Among the classmates watching, some were concerned about whether the electric bull was fierce, while others were concerned about the air conditioner. Ruan Xiaotang answered their questions one by one.

But then, a discordant voice emerged.

More than the intriguing electric scooter and the enviable air conditioner, she was more concerned about the man Ruan Xiaotang was deliberately downplaying…

"Xiao Tang, is that friend you went out with on Mid-Autumn Festival the boy who sat in the Mercedes-Benz at our school gate before?"

A pretty young woman in a short skirt approached Ruan Xiaotang and asked curiously.

Her name is Dong Moran, and she is Ruan Xiaotang's deskmate.

When Ruan Xiaotang first entered middle school, she was praised by her teachers because she was a good student. However, she was also somewhat withdrawn and was ostracized by the girls' group. When it came time to assign seats, no one even wanted to sit next to her.

Back then, Xiao Tang was a bit immature, but at the same time, she was strong-willed. When she was rejected, she thought to herself, "There are herds of cattle and sheep, but only the fierce tiger walks alone!"

I'm alone! I don't care...

"Xiao Tang, can I be your deskmate?"

"Oh... okay."

Ruan Xiaotang nodded shyly.

From that day on, Dong Moran, the most popular girl in the class with the most friends, became Ruan Xiaotang's deskmate.

With her help, Ruan Xiaotang gradually stopped being ostracized by the girls in her class. Dong Moran, on the other hand, had poor grades and was going to be dropped to a vocational school when she took the college entrance exam in her fifth year of high school.

Ruan Xiaotang also worked hard to help her improve her grades, which enabled her to pass the exam and enter the university preparatory course. The two became good friends as a result.

(In the 1970s, Hong Kong's "5+2" British-style education system required students to pass the Hong Kong Certificate of Education Examination (HKCEE) in their fifth year of secondary school to qualify for university entrance exams and enter a two-year pre-university program.)

At this moment, with Dong Moran's follow-up question, the other girls immediately became interested and surrounded Ruan Xiaotang, asking her questions incessantly.

Ruan Xiaotang opened her mouth, unsure how to answer.

She didn't really want to talk about Brother Chang'an with her friends at school.

Since the day Li Chang'an helped her drive away Fei Zai Dong, many people in the school have been asking her for Li Chang'an's contact information.

The boy was to pay homage to the master, saying he wanted to be Chang'an's underling and roam the world freely.

Girls hate it even more; they all want to steal her boyfriend.

Damn it, Chang'an and I haven't even gotten anything yet, and you guys are already trying to poach my girlfriend? Are you even human?!

As Ruan Xiaotang was thinking about how to change the subject after stepping out of the school gate, she saw a familiar Yamaha motorcycle parked by the roadside, and her eyes lit up immediately.

"Oh, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to, I have to go now!"

Ruan Xiaotang hurriedly waved to the crowd behind her who were asking questions, and then ran out in a flash.

"Why is Xiaotang always like this? Every time I ask her about her boyfriend, she just stops talking... If my boyfriend had a luxury car and power, I'd want everyone to know!"

Some girls felt that Xiaotang's possessiveness of food was unfair, and they expressed their dissatisfaction.

Xu Yunduo shouted at this moment:

"Wow, look at that motorcycle!"

Everyone looked at a Yamaha vehicle parked on the side of the street and sighed.

"What a cool motorcycle!"

"It must be very expensive, right? It looks much more classy than the cheap motorcycles that the school bullies ride."

While the girls were discussing, the rider on the Yamaha motorcycle, wearing a helmet, suddenly started the motorcycle and drove away from the school gate.

"Mo Ran, didn't you always love talking about luxury cars? Why weren't you saying anything just now? Do you even recognize what kind of car this is?"

Dong Moran snapped out of her daze and said, "That's a Yamaha motorcycle, imported from Japan. It must cost at least ten thousand Hong Kong dollars."

"Over ten thousand Hong Kong dollars, that's enough to buy a small car, what a waste..."

"For rich people, more than ten thousand Hong Kong dollars is just pocket money, and there's nothing to regret about using it to buy toys."

Dong Moran watched the Yamaha car drive off in the direction Ruan Xiaotang had run off, then licked her lips with a hint of excitement.

Without a doubt, he was the gang leader who, according to rumors, sat in a Mercedes-Benz and sent his bodyguards and driver to help Xiao Tang vent her anger!

It's strange, how could a man of this caliber be interested in someone like Xiaotang?

However, this also shows that although he is rich, he is not very knowledgeable, and naturally he has never been liked by any very charming girl.

This kind of man is easy to win over, which is good news~

Dong Moran couldn't remember which magazine she had read the words in, or who had said them.

But that sentence left a deep impression on her, and she even regarded it as her philosophy of life.

That is, men conquer the world, and women conquer men.

……

……

Li Chang'an rode a mountain leaf and brought Xiao Tang to the vegetable market.

I bought some crabs and vegetables to prepare for making Typhoon Shelter Crab Stir-fry. On my way home, I unexpectedly came across a stall selling rabbits.

Ruan Xiaotang's eyes lit up when she saw one of the large white rabbits.

"Brother Chang'an, that rabbit is so pretty!"

Li Chang'an nodded.

"Big and fat, really beautiful."

He stopped his car and asked, "Boss, how much are the rabbits?"

"These are six dollars a pound, those over there are wild rabbits, eight dollars a pound..."

While Li Chang'an was negotiating the price with the boss, Ruan Xiaotang squatted down and pulled up a few blades of grass from the roadside to tease the rabbit.

Unfortunately, the rabbit in the cage ignored the grass in her hand and even turned its back to her, dropping a few pellets of poop.

Ruan Xiaotang was somewhat sad.

So when Li Chang'an was choosing rabbits, she made him pick the bad rabbits that ignored her and even defecated at her.

Hmph, this is what happens when you ignore me—you'll all turn into spicy rabbit heads!

However, before leaving, Xiaotang picked out two very small rabbits, one black and one white.

If the rabbits were small, Brother Chang'an wouldn't use them as food; he could keep them as pets.

Ruan Xiaotang thought she was really clever.

The two returned to Shek Tong Tsui carrying crabs and rabbits.

Li Chang'an frowned at this moment.

Because a motorcycle had appeared in the open space downstairs, painted with a crossbones, a Gothic cross, and flame patterns.

Li Chang'an disliked this hippie, non-mainstream style. The Flying Shark Club had once explained to him the motorcycle community in Hong Kong, among which the hippie group was the most repulsive.

Because they are generally covered in powder.

Li Chang'an asked his neighbor, who was lying on a chair listening to the radio, "..."

"Uncle, what's going on with this car? Is it a new resident?"

"Oh, didn't Grandpa Jin from the sixth floor pass away a month ago?"

After his son cleaned up Grandpa Jin's house, he started advertising it for rent. These must be potential tenants.

As he spoke, the uncle lowered his voice and said to Li Chang'an:

"I saw that kid when he came to park. He wasn't very old, but he had nails stuck in his mouth and nose, and his makeup was like a ghost's. It was terrifying."
