My Arrogant Young Lady

Right now, Huang Gou just wants to thank me, and he probably has a lot to say to me. I should give him a chance, otherwise he really can't be my brother anymore.

Perhaps it's because I have no desires in my heart; I don't care how others look down on me. Without realizing it, I've become like Xi'er, able to think of others.

The maturity of my mindset is also a kind of progress for me. A dramatic change had a great impact on me.

Before we knew it, it was almost time for the movie. I took out my phone and booked five tickets, and the five of us went to the nearby cinema. We all enjoyed the movie quite a bit, and when we came out, Huang Gou's girlfriend was snuggling up to him, and the two of them looked very sweet. Afterwards, we went to a nearby shopping mall and had hot pot. I didn't say a word the whole time. I noticed Li Jiaqi and Zhang Shixue secretly glancing at me, but I just smiled at them.

Halfway through our hotpot meal, Huang Gou called me outside. He handed me a cigarette in the restroom, sighed, and said, "Brother, I'm sorry about earlier. I got you into trouble. Thank you for being so kind to me. If you ever need anything, just tell me. As long as I, Huang Gou, am alive, I'll do everything I can to help you."

"Brother Dog, I should thank you for taking care of me. You introduced me to beautiful women, treated me to a movie, and even treated me to dinner," I said to the yellow dog with a smile.

"Hey, actually, my identity as a bouncer is fake, and my identity as a gang leader is fake too. I just like Lanlan and was afraid I wasn't good enough for her, so I bragged to her. But I am indeed quite savvy in the underworld, and I really do work at Night Without End. However, I'm just a waiter at Night Without End, and my boss is Old Xie's underling, who works for Brother Night Without End. He's quite famous in the underworld; you can ask him about it." Huang Gou thought for a moment and said to me.

"Yes. I know." I smiled.

"Wang Xi, you have a really good temper. You weren't angry when Li Jiaqi said those things to you. And you weren't angry when I hurt you. Who exactly are you?" Huang Gou looked at me in surprise, seeing that I still had a smile on my face.

"Hehe, I'm just an ordinary person," I said with a smile.

"Impossible. You're not some big shot who came here to mess with a nobody like me, are you? I, Yellow Dog, have met plenty of big shots, but you seem to have more charisma than any of them," Yellow Dog said.

“No, I’m just an ordinary person,” I said.

"Impossible, you can't possibly be an ordinary person. Even if you are an ordinary person, you'll definitely amount to something in the future." Yellow Dog looked at me with a skeptical gaze.

“Yes, when I have money in the future, I’ll take out ten thousand yuan and throw it in Li Jiaqi’s face!” I said.

"Hahaha. That's a good idea. If I ever earn ten thousand yuan, I'll give it to you so you can throw it all over her face. Li Jiaqi just wants a rich boyfriend. If you throw money at her, she won't be angry; she'll call you 'Dad.'" The yellow dog chuckled lewdly.

I chatted with Huang Gou for a while longer, and Huang Gou's worries were resolved. My biggest takeaway today was making Huang Gou a true brother who is genuinely good to me.

But when we got back, we found our seats were taken. Three grinning thugs were sitting at our six-person table. They all looked rich, dressed in nice clothes. They were occupying our seats, chatting with Huang Gou's girlfriend and three girls, Li Jiaqi and Zhang Shixue.

"Wang Chong!" Upon seeing the three thugs occupying our seats, Yellow Dog flew into a rage. He walked over and glared at them angrily, saying, "Wang Chong, who gave you permission to sit in our seats?"

"Hey, isn't this Yellow Dog, the school boss of Beicheng No. 13 Middle School? You're pretty cocky, daring to talk to me like that?" The leader of the thugs laughed, picking up a pair of chopsticks from the table and tapping them lightly on the bowl and plate.

"Heh, you know that much!" the yellow dog said coldly.

"Unfortunately, you're not the boss of our school. It's Black Dragon. And you're just one of Black Dragon's four protectors, his thirteen assassins, and a lackey of those thirteen assassins," the leader of the thugs said.

"Wang Chong, what did you say? You want to fight?!" Huang Gou was furious again after hearing the thug's words.

"You dare touch me in a fight?" the thug sneered, then glanced at me disdainfully.

"Fuck you, are you leaving or not? If you don't leave, do you believe I'll beat you up?" Seeing the thug's disdain, the yellow dog became even angrier.

"Heh, you wouldn't dare hit me. After all, my dad's a company manager who earns ten thousand a month. If you hit me, you probably couldn't afford my medical bills." Hearing Huang Gou's words, the thug immediately smiled arrogantly.

"What? You're saying I can't afford your medical bills?" The yellow dog's whole face turned red.

"Wang Chong, you should leave now. If you like Li Jiaqi, you can chat with her another time. Huang Gou is treating us to dinner today, it's not appropriate for you to occupy Huang Gou's seat and chat with us. Besides, Huang Gou is the boss of Ye Weiyang now, you'd better not make him angry. We're all classmates. It's better to be friendly." Zhang Shixue frowned and said to the thug.

"What? The guy who works at Ye Weiyang's place? Yellow Dog, you've joined Emperor Zhao's gang?" Upon hearing Zhang Shixue's words, the thug looked at Yellow Dog in surprise.

“That’s right!” the yellow dog said proudly.

"Oh, that's impressive. But did you know that the boss of Nightless City isn't Emperor Zhao anymore, but the siblings Wang You and Liu Li? Right now, they have the most power in the entire provincial capital. Emperor Zhao is about to be taken down by Wang You and Liu Li!" the thug shouted.

"What!?" Yellow Dog was shocked by what the thug said.

"Idiot, the fighting at Ye Weiyang's place has been going on for three or four days. Yesterday, Longpao was just injured by Liuli. Now, Emperor Zhao has no influence in our entire provincial capital. Emperor Zhao has already withdrawn all his troops back to Youcheng. You don't even know these inside stories, and you still dare to call yourself a big brother? Just bragging here?" The thug sneered.

"This..." Upon hearing the thug's words, Huang Gou's face turned as red as fire.

"Fuck you! You think you can find such a great girlfriend like Lanlan just by bragging? Your bragging skills are unparalleled. Why don't you let my brother learn to brag a bit, and then you can give your girlfriend to my brother?" the thug said viciously.

"Wang Chong, I'll fuck you! I'll fight you to the death! Even if I have to sell my house, I'll kill you, you idiot!!!" After being repeatedly exposed by the thugs, Huang Gou finally couldn't hold back anymore. He quickly clenched his fist and threw a punch at one of the thugs.

"You're asking for it!" the thug sneered, leaping to his feet. Before the yellow dog could even land a punch, he delivered an even faster blow, knocking the dog to the ground. Then, one of his henchmen grabbed a stool and slammed it down on the yellow dog, while another kicked him to the ground. The three of them proceeded to relentlessly beat the yellow dog, rendering him powerless to fight back.

Seeing the yellow dog being beaten, Lanlan, Li Jiaqi, and Zhang Shixue all became anxious. The three of them kept trying to persuade the thug to stop, and Lanlan was so worried that she was about to cry.

The thug ignored them and reached for the hot pot pot on the side. However, when his hand grasped the edge of the boiling hot pot pot, he did not lift it up.

I had already grabbed the thug's wrist, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move his wrist an inch.

"Emperor Zhao was defeated? Defeated by Wang You and Liuli, his power retreated from the provincial capital back to Youcheng?" I asked coldly.

"Fuck you, who are you?" The thug cursed anxiously when he realized he wasn't as strong as me.

"It seems that Wang You and Liuli's power has grown again these past two days. How is the Yehenara family doing? Have they launched an attack on the Yehenara family?" I asked again.

"Fuck you, you know quite a lot, huh?" the thug looked at me in surprise.

"Wang You and Liuli, have they taken action against the Yehenara family?" I asked coldly, worried about Xi'er's safety.

"Fuck you, why should I tell you?" the thug cursed.

“I’ll count to three. If you don’t tell me, I’ll make you pay the price,” I said coldly, looking at him.

"Should I count for you? One, two, three, you little brat, try touching me!" the thug said, glaring at me menacingly.

"Fine, don't tell me then." With a sneer, I grabbed his wrist and shoved it into the boiling hot pot.

A scream rang out, and everyone's expression changed as they looked at me...

Chapter 175 The Special One in Zhang Shixue's Eyes

Just two seconds later, I released the thug's wrist. As soon as I released him, he clutched his wrist, screaming in agony at his bright red, scalded right hand. He rolled around in pain, crying out. Huang Gou, Lanlan, Li Jiaqi, Zhang Shixue, and the other diners around us all clearly saw how I forced the thug's right hand into the boiling hot pot.

Although it only lasted two seconds, it already burned the thug's right hand. If I had pressed it for a few more seconds, his right hand would probably have been boiled.

Looking at me, everyone's faces turned deathly pale. They never dreamed that this seemingly harmless young man could be so cruel. Just a moment ago, he was smiling warmly at people, and even when faced with insults from a sharp-tongued young woman like Li Jiaqi, he simply laughed it off. But now, his methods were so ruthless. The young man before them seemed not to be human, but a demon who had crawled out of hell and was lurking among us.

Under everyone's gaze, my face remained expressionless. I turned off the hot pot. The boiling hot pot gradually quieted down. Then I lit a cigarette, straightened a chair that had fallen to the ground, and sat down. I crossed my legs, took a deep drag of my cigarette, and looked at the thug lying on the ground, crying loudly, saying, "If I hadn't stopped you just now, you probably would have picked up the hot pot and splashed it on Yellow Dog's face. And although Yellow Dog isn't exactly handsome, he would definitely be disfigured if you splashed it. You're too cruel. This is just a small punishment for you. Your hand was only boiled for two seconds; it's just a minor burn. Go back and put on some ointment, and your hand will be fine in less than three days. But, if you're still this vicious next time, don't blame me for being really ruthless."

"My hand...my hand...it hurts so much...my hand hurts so much..." As if he hadn't heard what I was saying, the thug continued to cry, staring at his hand. Suddenly, a venomous glint appeared in his eyes as he glared at me. Gritting his teeth, he roared at his two henchmen, "What the hell are you two looking at? Hurry up and kill him! Avenge me!!"

"Fuck you!" Upon hearing the thug's words, his two henchmen immediately pulled out two daggers.

"A knife!" Upon seeing the weapons of the two henchmen, Li Jiaqi screamed in terror. Huang Gou, Lanlan, and Zhang Shixue's expressions also changed.

As for the customers at the hot pot restaurant, they were secretly worried about me. The restaurant owner had already rushed over from not far away, and was too frightened to move when he saw the two thugs brandishing knives.

The knife was, of course, meant for show. It could fold up, unfolding with a flick to reveal its cold gleam. Cautiously watching me, the two thugs kept tossing the knife between their left and right hands. They kept throwing it back and forth, their backs bent, glaring fiercely at me. "Kid, you're really asking for trouble. Do you know who Wang Chong is? He's a student at North City No. 13 Middle School. And you, do you know what North City No. 13 Middle School is? It's a place full of thugs. And do you know who Wang Chong hangs out with?"

"Thirteen Killers, one of Black Dragon's four protectors, and Black Tiger's most favored underling. Crab, he's always been the one who can walk all over us at Thirteen!" another thug said coldly.

"Crabs?" My expression changed upon hearing the thug's words.

“That’s right, only he dares to act so arrogantly at school.” The thug nodded.

"I don't know him." I took a deep drag on my cigarette and said coldly.

"..." After hearing my words, the two thugs were bewildered.

However, at that moment I saw Huang Gou's face change. He tried to get up to protect me, but he had been kicked too hard before, and he fell back to the ground as soon as he put his hands on the ground. His face was pale, and Huang Gou looked at me with the eyes of someone looking at a dead person, saying, "Wang Xi, you have to leave quickly. Wang Chong's family is rich, and he always feeds Crab, so he's on very good terms with Crab. Now that you've burned Wang Chong, he'll definitely seek revenge on Crab. You have to leave quickly, and whatever you do, don't fight them anymore. There are three of them, and you're only one person. Wang Chong's two henchmen are not weak; you can't beat them. You have to leave quickly, then go home and hide for a few days. After I buy Crab some gifts and make him calm down, you can come back to school."

“Yes, you’re a new transfer student, you don’t know what’s going on at our school. Those crabs fight fiercely. You’re no match for them. Wang Xi, you should leave.” Huang Gou’s girlfriend was also trying to persuade me.

"Wang Xi, you need to leave quickly. There are too many of them. You can't beat them." Zhang Shixue frowned and came over to pull me away.

Seeing Zhang Shixue pull me, I couldn't help but glance at her slender fingers. This girl was beautiful, and her hands were surprisingly soft. Holding me, it felt very comfortable. But, Li Jiaqi quickly pulled Zhang Shixue away again, saying, "Shixue, get out of the way! Wang Chong's two henchmen are really good fighters, and they have knives. Be careful they don't accidentally hurt you. Besides, Wang Xi hurt Wang Chong. If you let Wang Xi go, what if Wang Chong comes back to cause trouble for us?"

“Jiaqi, no matter what, Wang Xi is our friend. We should tell him to run away. How can you worry about us being implicated by him?” Zhang Shixue frowned after hearing Li Jiaqi’s words.

"My dear lady, your father is an official, of course he's not afraid of them, but we're just ordinary people. How can we afford to offend these thugs? Please, stop meddling in other people's business. I'm only doing this for your own good." Li Jiaqi blushed and stomped her little foot lightly in anger at Zhang Shixue.

After thinking for a moment, Li Jiaqi suddenly said to me, "It's all your fault. You have no skills but you act like a big brother. Wang Chong is very close to Crab, and his two henchmen are also very good at fighting. They even have knives. Why did you have to provoke them?"

"The yellow dog got beaten up by them," I said with a smile after hearing Li Jiaqi's words.

"So what if he gets hit a couple of times? It won't kill anyone. Huang Gou isn't doing as well as Wang Chong, so we won't laugh at him if he gets bullied by Wang Chong. Our No. 13 Middle School is a dog-eat-dog world. Whoever is the strongest in a fight is the boss. You have no skills, so why are you provoking them?" Li Jiaqi shouted at me.

"Me? I have no skills at all?" I stared wide-eyed at Li Jiaqi's words.

"Are you a really good fighter?" Li Jiaqi asked me back.

Seeing Li Jiaqi's disdainful expression, I smiled but said nothing. At this moment, Wang Chong was in so much pain he could barely hold on. He screamed and yelled at his two henchmen, "Damn it, what are you doing? Kill him! Kill him now!"

"Fuck you, I'm going to kill you today." Upon hearing Wang Chong's words, the two thugs immediately grabbed their knives and charged at me.

"Ha ha……"

With a cold laugh, I watched as the two thugs crouched low and charged towards me. Each of them held a gleaming knife, the sharp edge of which caused the onlookers to palpable.

Li Jiaqi screamed in fright. Zhang Shixue also seemed more anxious and pulled me forcefully to get out of the way.

I didn't dodge. I simply tossed aside my cigarette, stood up, turned around, and picked up the hot pot behind me. Then, with a splash, I poured the entire pot of hot pot onto the faces of those two thugs.

I've turned off the induction cooker for the hot pot, and the temperature is now considerably lower than before. However, it hasn't been long, and the hot pot is still very hot.

The two thugs screamed as their faces were splattered with hotpot. Then, like Wang Chong, they all fell to the ground, writhing in pain.

"Ah! My face is disfigured!" a thug shouted.

"Ah, I can't see anything! It's so hot and painful...!" another thug cried out.

"..." Everyone stared in astonishment as they watched me take down two knife-wielding thugs with a single move. Li Jiaqi's expression was particularly fascinating.

"Wang Xi, you actually defeated those two so easily? Those two are really good fighters at our school..." At this moment, Li Jiaqi's opinion of me finally changed. She never dreamed that I could defeat Wang Chong's two henchmen so easily.

Without speaking to Li Jiaqi, I gently grasped Zhang Shixue's hand, which was holding my arm. Her fingers were long and slender, with cool fingertips. Holding Zhang Shixue's hand, I smiled and said, "Thank you."

"..." As if electrocuted, Zhang Shixue quickly withdrew her hand. Then, her fair, oval face turned bright red.

I smiled at Zhang Shixue, then turned and coldly walked towards Wang Chong and his two henchmen. Looking at the terrified expression on Wang Chong's face, I shook my head with a wry smile and said, "Knowing about the Yehenara family, thugs like you are already pretty nothing. Even if I kill you, I won't get any information from you, will I..."

"..." After hearing my words, Wang Chong shed two streams of tears without saying a word.

"Sigh..." I sighed and turned to walk out of the hot pot restaurant.

"Wang Xi!" Behind me, Huang Gou and Lanlan looked at me with adoration. Li Jiaqi and Zhang Shixue, on the other hand, looked at me with a slightly different kind of gaze…

Chapter 176 Rejecting Zhang Shixue

After glancing at the security camera footage in the hot pot restaurant, I decided not to stay and bask in their adoration. Although I had only casually taught Wang Chong and his two henchmen a lesson, I had already given them a good beating. If I wasn't mistaken, the restaurant owner had already secretly called the police. If I stayed any longer, it would only bring me a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Stepping out of the mall, I quickened my pace and joined the crowd. Seeing a patrol car pull up at the mall entrance, I smiled and headed towards a nearby farmers' market.

I've already spent all my own money, and now I'm spending the two hundred yuan that Runtu lent me. I originally planned to keep Runtu as my mistress and make him work for me, but I never expected that I would end up being kept by Runtu instead.

After buying two large bags of eggs, I went to a secluded spot far from the commercial street. Seeing that no one was around, I took out my jade flute and gently began to play.
