Liu, Bai, and Showing Off Affection
Not far away is the bar street on Jiefang West Road. Within these few hundred meters, bars of all sizes are lined up. Some shops are always under renovation, while new shops are always opening. The prosperity of the city is always accompanied by the demand for revelry during leisure time. Some people are inside indulging in the glitz and glamour, while others are outside looking up in awe.
Bai Hui looked at her dreamy shoes, stepping on the black, damp pavement. Perhaps some of her emotions, like her preferred style of dress, seemed dreamy but were actually just a facade she had created.
Suddenly, a strong force came from her arm. Bai Hui raised her arms like a bird flapping its wings, stumbled, and was pulled into Liu Chang'an's arms.
Bai Hui looked up in surprise and saw him staring blankly at the two young men in front of him.
"Tease!"
"You!"
The two young men each said one word to Bai Hui.
They were all wearing heavily embroidered coats, with tattoo marks showing on their necks, and their oiled hair stood on end, exuding an air of unruliness mixed with a faint melancholy that suggested a sense of life's meaninglessness.
They rode a rickety electric scooter, their legs, clad in skinny jeans, appearing exceptionally long due to their languid posture. Their loafers exuded the nonchalant attitude of British hippies, and the unrestrained aroma of alcohol emanating from their slightly upturned lips added a touch of masculinity.
"How do you ride your bikes! And you're swearing at me!" Bai Hui said angrily. This was a sidewalk, and they had just bumped into her like that. If Liu Chang'an hadn't pulled her back, Bai Hui would have definitely fallen!
It's one thing to fall down normally, but to fall in front of Liu Chang'an, especially on such a dark and wet ground, how embarrassing and shameful!
"Tease!"
"You!"
The two young men repeated the game of one word at a time, then burst into laughter at their perfect understanding.
"Hey beautiful, what are you doing here? Let's go."
The young man in front was about to start his car and leave when he discovered that his modified 96V Ghost Fire electric car wouldn't start at all; only the tires screeched against the ground.
Liu Chang'an pulled the car back.
"Hey bro, are you up to something?" Two young men came downstairs.
"Apologize, just apologize and that's enough," Bai Hui quickly said. Although Liu Chang'an still had that expressionless look, she could tell he was angry.
Bai Hui didn't want Liu Chang'an to fight because of her, after all, she and An Nuan were different... An Nuan probably felt a little smug seeing Liu Chang'an fighting with her suitor; everyone knew Liu Chang'an had beaten up Minister Yuan.
"Why do we need them to apologize?" Liu Chang'an shook his head. In most cases, apologies are meaningless, so demanding an apology from the other party is also meaningless.
Liu Chang'an wasn't that bored.
"So what are you trying to do?" Having no intention of apologizing to begin with, the two young men simply put their hands in their pockets, becoming even more defiant.
Liu Chang'an lifted his foot and landed on the footrest of the electric scooter, instantly breaking it in two.
The two young men were startled and quickly moved aside. This... this must be the strength of an elephant's legs!
Seeing that a crowd had gathered to watch the commotion, Liu Chang'an grabbed them by the neck and dragged them into a stairwell doorway in a small alley.
"Big brother... big brother... let's talk this out." Anyone would give in if they were grabbed by the neck and thrown to the ground like a chick, right?
"We apologize, we'll compensate you..." Isn't it only natural to play along with someone who's being soft-hearted, and to apologize when faced with a hardline approach?
Bai Hui jogged after Liu Chang'an. She didn't say anything more this time. She had known Liu Chang'an for so long, and their relationship had gradually improved. Now they could occasionally hang out alone like close friends. She also knew that Liu Chang'an almost never listened to other people's advice... unless it was An Nuan who advised him.
These two are probably going to get a beating, but thankfully Liu Chang'an didn't do it in public... Usually, these thugs won't bother calling the police or settling scores unless they seriously injure someone, so hopefully it won't cause him any trouble.
"Unlock your phones and hand them to me." After saying that, Liu Chang'an kicked their calves twice. He didn't kick any particularly painful spots; he just kicked them casually.
Since they didn't respond within 0.001 seconds of him making the request, they naturally needed to be reminded.
The two men let out a wail, never expecting that their reckless driving would lead them to such a scoundrel. They felt as if their necks had been snapped, and now they felt like they had grown taller, especially their necks.
Seeing that they were only focused on wailing and not respecting his demands, Liu Chang'an kicked them twice more.
The two quickly took out their phones, both of them Apple phones. Although they weren't the latest models, as fashionable young people, even if they were using older models, they still had to have an Apple.
"Now you... take his pants off."
0.001 seconds passed, and the two were each kicked again.
Seeing Liu Chang'an's calm demeanor, as if he were kicking a soda can, Bai Hui recalled Liu Chang'an previous killer-like composed aura and couldn't help but say worriedly, "You... you might accidentally kick them to death."
"Weren't they worried about hitting you when they were driving like that?" Liu Chang'an chuckled, patting Bai Hui's head. "Go to the side, this show isn't suitable for children."
Hearing Liu Chang'an say the three words "good boy," as if by magic, Bai Hui said "oh" and moved her feet to stand outside the stairwell.
Then she heard Liu Chang'an continue demanding that they take off their pants and embrace each other naked... Bai Hui blushed and stared in disbelief. Was Liu Chang'an a devil?
She could still feel the white light of the flash; he even took pictures?
"I took some intimate photos of them and posted them on WeChat Moments to show off their love."
At this moment, Liu Chang'an came out, casually crushed and threw away the two phones, and said to Bai Hui.
"Showing off their love?"
"Yeah, they seemed so in sync when they were swearing, they're probably a couple."
"Couple?"
"Yes, they were so affectionate just now, and they even looked shy. They must be a couple."
"Shy?"
"Yes, it's perfectly normal for couples to show affection, isn't it? There's no need to be shy."
"Normal?"
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go buy some late-night snacks." Liu Chang'an pulled the dumbfounded Bai Hui away.
Bai Hui was being pulled along by Liu Chang'an like a wooden doll. Although as a girl she sometimes couldn't help but fantasize about certain relationships between men,... but that didn't mean she thought what had just happened was pleasant.
She didn't look back, but she could imagine how perverse the scene must have been. Listening to Liu Chang'an's commands, she knew that these two would never be able to clear their Yellow River, no matter what. It was also possible that they would discover their true orientation from that moment on.
