Lush tulip trees lined both sides of the road, sunlight filtering through the leaves in scattered flecks.

Outside Maxim Cafe.

Wang Ce panted as he parked and locked his shared bike. Sweat had soaked his hair, plastering it into strands, and his handsome face was flushed from the intense exercise. He wiped himself with the back of his hand, revealing a smile brighter than the sun.

"Wow~~~"

A woman exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Handsome guy! I like him!"

Cao Xuan turned his head and saw a woman who weighed at least two hundred pounds openly sizing him up as if she wanted to swallow him whole. Beside her, a pretty boy wearing smoky eye makeup leaned against her round haunch—no, her arm—with the appearance of a delicate little bird.

The pretty boy pounded the fat woman with his tiny fists and cooed, "Darling, how can you flirt with other men right in front of me? You're awful~~~"

Cao Xuan's mind suffered a ten-thousand-point critical hit. The only reason he did not throw up on the spot was because he had not eaten much.

Fortunately, he had not eaten much.

Cao Xuan decided this was someone he could not afford to provoke. He was about to lock up his shared bike and make a quick escape.

"Hey, you! You can't park there!"

Suddenly—

A loud shout startled Cao Xuan. A young male waiter in the cafe's uniform stood atop the tall steps, looking down at him.

"This is the cafe's designated parking area. Only customers who spend money at the cafe can use it. Maxim is the most upscale cafe in Tianhe, not somewhere any stray cat or dog can afford. Move your crappy bike now, or suffer the consequences!"

The waiter's eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.
