Chapter 8
C8 – Talking Idiotic Nonsense
In no time, a waiter arrived with a selection of beer, specialty snacks, and the room instantly buzzed with liveliness.
“Brother Wang Xiao, if you’re not enjoying this ambiance, we can head out early.”
Tong Waner noticed Wang Xiao’s subdued expression and spoke hesitantly.
She presumed Wang Xiao had come to a vibrant place like this only to accommodate her, as he generally didn’t favor such lively settings.
“Why would you think that? I actually quite like it.”
Upon hearing Tong Waner’s concern, Wang Xiao’s lips curved into a smile as he reassured her.
His expression had momentarily tensed when he noticed Chen Jie discreetly exiting the room, unaware of the latter’s intentions. He hadn’t anticipated that Tong Waner would pick up on the subtle shift in his demeanor.
Witnessing the disbelief on Tong Waner’s face, Wang Xiao found himself compelled to demonstrate to her that he was comfortable with the ambiance.
He turned to a plump man holding a stalk of wheat and requested, “Hey, Fatty, pass me that stalk.”
“Big Brother Wang Xiao, are you going to…”
Tong Waner’s beautiful eyes widened as they rested on Wang Xiao. An incredulous notion took root within her mind.
Hadn’t Big Brother Wang Xiao always disliked singing?
Having requested a song, Wang Xiao moved to the center of the private room. In front of all their classmates’ gazes, he addressed the microphone, “The next dedication goes out to my wife, Tong Waner. I hope she enjoys it.”
The room’s atmosphere instantaneously surged and erupted the moment he spoke, igniting the space with fervor.
Awoo…
The male students’ whistles and the female students’ shrieks blended in the private room, creating a lingering atmosphere.
“Big Brother Wang Xiao!”
In an instant, Tong Waner felt as though everyone’s gaze was fixed upon her. Her cheeks turned as red as ripe apples. Her exquisite eyes darted around, her heart a mix of embarrassment and delight.
How could she address him so intimately in front of so many people!
The embarrassment was real, so overwhelming!
Tong Waner lightly nibbled her reddened lips and bashfully lowered her head. Her shy demeanor was incredibly endearing, causing the surrounding male students to brighten their eyes and swallow in response.
“You rascal, Wang Xiao, you dare flirt with my girl!”
Coincidentally, Chen Jie reentered the private room at that moment. Witnessing this scene, his eyes flared with boundless rage. He clenched his fists and fixed an intense stare on Wang Xiao.
Wang Xiao had already begun singing the love confession song. The magnetic melody instantly filled the entire private room.
Whoosh…
The classmates were all caught up in excitement. This marked the first time they heard Wang Xiao sing so exceptionally well. The enchanting performance held everyone spellbound, only realizing it was over once the last note faded.
After a brief pause, everyone regained their composure and erupted into excited applause.
“Waner, are your ears expecting?”
Following the song, Wang Xiao returned to his seat, a smile playing on his lips as he addressed Tong Waner.
Upon hearing this, a rosy hue spread across Tong Waner’s cheeks. She wished to scold Wang Xiao. His singing was so wonderful; why didn’t he sing for her?
However, at that very moment, a commotion arose from outside the private room, cutting her off.
Wang Xiao arched an eyebrow and directed his gaze toward Chen Jie, who stood not too far away. Chen Jie was staring at him with a glint of coldness in his eyes. Wang Xiao grasped the implication and inwardly chuckled.
“As expected, a sneaky plot to slip away?”
“I’m eager to witness the stunt you’re about to pull!”
With that, the door of the private room swung open.
“Hey, what a lively scene we have here. So many stunning ladies.”
A quirky voice echoed in from the entrance.
A corpulent and uncouth man with an oversized head and ears sauntered in from outside, sporting an ominous grin. His gaze, full of malevolence, fixed on the young ladies inside the private room. Two imposing henchmen followed him closely.
Sensing the lascivious stare from the repugnant man, some female students instinctively sought refuge behind their male companions.
“Who are you? Don’t you realize there are occupants in this private room already?”
Before Chen Jie could utter a word, Zhang San had risen to his feet, berating the rotund individual with the prominent ears.
Unbeknownst to Zhang San, before his words had even dissipated, one of the henchmen trailing the hefty man had sprung into action. With a resounding slap, Zhang San’s cheek bore the brunt, and the henchman bellowed in a deep tone, “How dare you! I’m Big Brother Pig, someone you don’t dare point fingers at! Don’t you grasp that Number Twelve of the Outer Beach falls under my jurisdiction as Big Brother Pig?”
Zhang San’s right cheek now bore a swollen mark from the slap. He was so frightened that he could barely muster the courage to speak in response.
“Hey, don’t frighten these lovely ladies.”
Big Brother Pig smirked crudely, casting his gaze upon the charming young women. With a chuckle, he remarked, “Seems like I’m in for a good time tonight. So many beautiful girls to enjoy.”
At Big Brother Pig’s words, the girls were instantly petrified, some even shedding tears. The boys, their faces pale, clenched their teeth as they stood protective of the girls they cared for.
Big Brother Pig turned his head, locking eyes with Chen Jie, causing the corners of their mouths to curl upwards.
Wang Xiao also discerned the subtle exchange and inwardly scoffed.
“Hey, this girl seems interesting. Care to have some fun with me?”
In that moment, the gaze of Big Brother Pig swept across the private room, finally resting on Tong Waner. His eyes brightened as he offered a sly grin.
Tong Waner sensed Big Brother Pig’s mischievous stare and furrowed her brow slightly. Her heart raced briefly, but recalling that Wang Xiao was beside her, she managed to regain her composure.
Observing Big Brother Pig’s interest in Tong Waner, concern etched itself onto the faces of the female students. Meanwhile, the male students simmered with anger. Their fists clenched, yet none dared to make a move.
They wished to come to Tong Waner’s aid, but confronting gangsters like Big Brother Pig was not a risk they could afford to take. They were merely regular students.
“Pretty girl, did you hear what Big Brother Pig said? Come along quietly with us!”
At this juncture, the two accomplices laughed and hastened to approach Tong Waner.
Wang Xiao, you must protect Tong Waner. She’s your girlfriend!
Many students at that point placed their hopes on Wang Xiao, yearning for him to step in and safeguard Tong Waner.
However, as they observed Wang Xiao remaining seated and motionless, it was as if he feared Big Brother Pig.
“Why is Wang Xiao being so passive? Shouldn’t he have stood up when he saw his girlfriend facing harassment?”
“Goddess Waner’s judgment of character seems to have gone awry. How could she be interested in such a coward?”
Witnessing Wang Xiao’s actions, numerous students cast disdainful glances at him, their mocking whispers resonating softly.
Wang Xiao remained unfazed by these murmurs, his expression unchanged.
Observing the widespread animosity towards Wang Xiao, a scornful smile curled at the corners of Chen Jie’s lips. Recognizing the opportune moment, he stood and emitted a cold snort, “Piggy, hold up. They’re all my classmates!”
Instantly, the two lackeys ceased their actions. Piggy, upon spotting Chen Jie, grinned as if they had unexpectedly encountered each other. “Well, Young Master Chen, who would’ve thought you’d be here. It’s like when a flood heads to the Dragon King’s Temple!”
However, Piggy promptly donned a grave expression and directed his words at Chen Jie, “But, you’re aware that I have an interest here. A beauty like this is a rare sight today…”
Trailing off, Piggy halted, his icy gaze locked onto Chen Jie, issuing a silent warning against meddling in others’ affairs.
The surrounding students trembled at Piggy’s frigid glare, their bodies quivering slightly, and they scarcely dared to exhale audibly.
“Piggy, that girl is my girlfriend. Please, show some mercy? This three thousand yuan is for us to have a good time.”
Chen Jie spoke with a grin, extracting a wad of cash from his pocket and placing it into Piggy’s palm.
“Very well. Since Young Master Chen insists, I’ll give you face today. But letting your girlfriend share a drink with me isn’t too much to ask, is it?”
Giving Chen Jie a sly wink, Big Brother Pig covertly accepted the money. He chuckled and remarked.
Observing Chen Jie resolve the situation effortlessly, many female students cast a favorable gaze at him, while even the boys regarded him with admiration.
By comparison, they turned to Wang Xiao with a disdainful look.
“He can’t even defend his own woman. He’s just a loser.”
“Chen Jie is the man who deserves trust!”
“Absolutely, no problem.”
Chen Jie also grinned, then turned to Tong Waner and suggested, “Waner, come over and raise a glass to Big Brother Pig.”
It was indeed an investment worth making, being able to pursue Tong Waner with three thousand dollars.
“Haha, you guys think my wife will raise a glass to you? Keep dreaming!”
Before Tong Waner could respond, Wang Xiao, standing beside them, sneered and retorted.
At this moment, he finally comprehended Chen Jie’s intentions. The trite plot of the hero rescuing the damsel in distress didn’t require further words; he stepped forward.
