Buzz!
The whistling beer bottle rapidly grew larger in Li Wei's pupils.
Only then did Li Wei, drawn over by the sounds of fighting, come back to her senses. Her eyes widened as she nearly froze in terror.
Chen Yun across from her looked just as anxious, but she had no time to react at all.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the beer bottle closed in. It was mere centimeters away from smashing into Teacher Li's head and leaving him bloody.
Clack!
At the critical moment.
A powerful hand reached out and caught the beer bottle with perfect accuracy.
Only one centimeter away from hitting flesh, Teacher Li stood rooted to the spot, cold sweat somehow already streaming down his face.
With a slight shudder, he came back to his senses and hurriedly moved two steps aside.
"X-Xiaofeng."
Turning his head, he saw that the sturdy young man was merely sitting quietly.
Expressionless, he still held chopsticks in his left hand, with beef and beef tripe still in his bowl.
His outstretched right arm was thick and powerful, faintly revealing several bulging veins on the back of his hand.
"Th-Thank you."
Teacher Li hurriedly thanked him. Li Wei's eyes were also wide as she looked at Chen Feng.
There was no response. Instead, even more violent muffled impacts rang out.
Bang!!
The men and women at the two nearby tables had practically become tangled in a brawl.
Bowls, chopsticks, and beer bottles had all become weapons, their sharp clattering sounds ringing out without pause.
Glass shards flew everywhere, while porcelain bowls were hurled in all directions.
The other diners nearby looked terrified and hurriedly got up to dodge aside, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
As for the Hotpot Restaurant's waiters and manager, their faces looked grim. They wanted to step in and stop the fight, but could not get involved.
"Fuck you! I'm going to kill you today!"
The one who had started the trouble was a fat, tattooed young man. He suddenly shoved another man to the ground, his head striking the floor.
Then, he grabbed a long bench and smashed it forward.
Buzz!!
A whistling sound rose. The other party clearly had considerable strength.
As the bench was about to strike the fallen man's head, the crowd cried out repeatedly. Some even shut their eyes in horror.
Clack!
However, the next second.
It was as though a massive black boulder had risen from the ground.
A figure stepped forward, reaching out with a large hand.
He grabbed the edge of the long bench, his incomparably cold gaze sweeping over the scene.
The atmosphere fell silent, though the others nearby were still fighting.
"Fuck, are you looking to die?!"
The fat tattooed man cursed and tried to pull back the bench, only to find it completely unmoving.
"You threw this?"
Chen Feng asked expressionlessly, raising the beer bottle in his other hand.
"Fuck, I threw it. So what?!"
The fat man gritted his teeth and used all his strength, but the long bench remained steady and did not move an inch.
"Let go and get out of my way, or I'll kill you. You believe that?"
As if he felt humiliated, the fat man glared furiously and threatened him.
"Do you know how to apologize?" Chen Feng asked expressionlessly.
"Apologize my ass!" The tattooed man cursed again, then released the bench and grabbed another beer bottle from the table.
Buzz!
The whistling grew fiercer, and Chen Yun and the others behind him all changed expression.
"Xiaofeng!"
An anxious cry rang out, followed by a sharp, thunderous crash.
Bang!!
The Exploding Fist struck out, shattering the beer bottle.
Glass shards scattered everywhere. The others who had been fighting all abruptly stopped moving.
Then, before everyone's eyes.
The sturdy young man had somehow discarded the bench. His large hand reached forward and pressed against the fat man's face like a mask.
Then.
He pushed downward with violent, overwhelming force!
Thud!!!
Another muffled impact rang out as the fat man's head was smashed into the hotpot restaurant's wooden table.
With a crack, a thin fissure split across the tabletop.
The fat man's head was bloody. His eyes rolled back, his body swayed, and he collapsed to the ground, passing out on the spot.
"Holy shit!"
"Fuck, you're looking to die!"
Some of the other party's companions finally reacted.
Ruthlessness flashed through their eyes as their blood rushed to their heads. One of them immediately charged over with a long bench.
Buzz!
It came whistling down without mercy.
However, the next second.
Chen Feng gave the other party an indifferent glance, twisted around, and unleashed a savage side kick.
Bang!
The bench shattered, and the figure flew backward.
Amid a series of muffled bangs, a row of tables and chairs was knocked over. The other party could only clutch his abdomen and curl up on the ground like a limp shrimp.
Seeing this, the crowd stared wide-eyed in utter silence.
Everyone who had been fighting completely stopped. The Hotpot Restaurant's manager and waiters were dumbfounded.
The diners who had not yet left stood frozen in place, their faces full of shock and uncertainty. Chen Yun, Teacher Li, and Li Wei were nearly petrified as well.
Clang, clang, clang!
At last, one of the people involved in the brawl stood there wide-eyed in shock and failed to hold onto the metal tray in his hand, letting it fall to the floor.
The crisp sounds continued to echo as Chen Feng turned his head toward the others.
"Have you made enough trouble?"
After speaking, no one dared answer.
Finally, the sturdy young man turned and walked back to Chen Yun's side.
After glancing at Li Wei, he said calmly.
"Sis, I'm full."
"Let's go."
Half an hour later, outside the Hotpot Restaurant.
Teacher Li stood with the Hotpot Restaurant's manager, adjusting his square-framed glasses as he negotiated with Security Bureau Officers.
During that time, he made a phone call and seemed to call in some favors, making the Peacekeepers' attitude much more sincere.
Chen Feng stood by a street corner several meters away the entire time, leaning against a streetlamp and expressionlessly watching the night sky.
His tall body was bathed in dim yellow light, casting an enormous shadow that stretched long, long behind him.
Seeing this, Li Wei sat alone on the public wooden chair beside them. Her expression changed several times, yet she still did not dare go up and speak to him.
Only Chen Yun, after comforting the other party, slowly walked up to Chen Feng.
"Xiaofeng, it's fine now."
"Teacher Li called his friend, and the Hotpot Restaurant is also very grateful to you. You don't need to pay compensation."
Still speaking gently, Chen Feng gave an "Mm" and said nothing further.
The two stood silently by the street like that. Chen Yun could not help turning her head to look at his profile.
It was still that familiar face.
But for some reason, she suddenly felt that her younger brother had become much more unfamiliar.
No matter what, Xiaofeng is my only family.
As the thought flashed through her mind, Chen Yun suppressed all her stray thoughts.
Just as she was about to speak again, Chen Feng suddenly said, "Sis, remember this."
"No one can bully you."
Turning to look at Chen Yun, Chen Feng thought of how kind she had been to the original owner of this body.
At the same time, he thought of the care she had shown him these past few days.
Since he had taken over this body, he was willing to bear these karmic ties.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng spoke in a low, earnest voice. "If you run into trouble in the future, tell me."
"I'll always be here."
When his words fell, Chen Yun was visibly stunned.
Then, several seconds later.
A smile appeared on her face. Her eyes shone brightly, seeming to glisten with moisture and emotion.
She looked like a pure orchid blooming in the night after rain.
"Okay."
Smiling broadly, Chen Yun nodded. "Then I'll have to rely on Xiaofeng to take care of me from now on."
Their eyes met, and Chen Feng smiled faintly.
Turning back toward the night sky, he saw countless stars reflected in his eyes.
He felt that perhaps only now had he truly taken root in this world.
