After a night of indulgence and too much to drink, when the sun peeked through the curtains and warmed the head of the bed, Fei Hu finally turned over. He reached out beside him, but Xia Yan was nowhere to be found. Rubbing his eyes, he sat up, feeling as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
After getting dressed and washing his face, he sat at the edge of the bed, contemplating where to go next when his phone rang. Fei Hu quickly grabbed it and was shocked to see over twenty missed calls. He realized he had been quite reckless yesterday afternoon; it was very rude to ignore others like that.
When he answered the call, it was A-Lian on the line. She asked urgently, "Where are you? What’s going on? Why haven’t you been answering? Do you know everyone is looking for you? No matter what happened, you need to answer your phone!" A-Lian's tone was filled with reproach.
Fei Hu awkwardly chuckled and said, "It's nothing serious. I accidentally put my phone on silent yesterday afternoon, so I didn’t know. I’ll go get the money shortly; I should be able to make it back to the factory by this afternoon."
"The money can wait; you can bring it whenever. Just make sure you're safe. Please don’t ignore your calls. You need to call Yingzi back! She called me several times last night and just tried again," A-Lian said before hanging up without hesitation. Fei Hu stared at his phone, regretting his foolish actions from yesterday.
He intended to call Yingzi but couldn’t think of what to say. When the call connected, he hesitated, unsure how to explain that he had been out partying last night and had just crawled out from beside his lover. Finally, he gritted his teeth and sent Yingzi a text: "I'm fine! Don't worry about me, thank you."
A while later, Yingzi replied with a message: "As long as you're okay. Don’t judge everything by appearances; love is a double-edged sword. It can hurt you just as much as it can hurt her. It all depends on your ability to heal. Grandpa misses you very much."
Fei Hu looked at Yingzi's message with his phone in hand, feeling sweat in his palms but managing to hold back his emotions. Since Ye Xiaofei had said that from now on, matters concerning the Ye Family were not for him to interfere with, he decided not to involve himself further; Grandpa's longing would have to remain in his heart.
Just as Fei Hu was feeling down, the phone on the bedside table rang. Thinking it was room service calling, he picked it up and said irritably, "Hello! What is it?"
"Get downstairs if you're awake; I'm waiting for you down here and ready for breakfast," Xia Yan said on the other end of the line. Fei Hu hurriedly hung up and checked around the room before turning to leave.
When he got downstairs, Xia Yan had already completed her checkout and was sitting in the lobby flipping through a magazine. As soon as she saw Fei Hu come down, she stood up and walked outside while smiling brightly, saying, "Just woke up? If I hadn’t come looking for you, would you have forgotten to call me?" She looked radiant today, dressed youthfully and differently than usual.
In contrast, Fei Hu's face was pale like someone who had fallen ill. He sighed and replied, "How could I forget to call you? The key is that I still need to get money from you." They both laughed at this.
Xia Yan drove them quickly to her neighborhood. Just as they were about to turn inside, three people suddenly rushed out from the roadside. The leader was in his thirties and somewhat thin, followed by two young men in their twenties with bleached hair and wearing flashy clothes. Fei Hu immediately recognized that these two were definitely troublemakers from outside.
Fortunately, Xia Yan reacted quickly and slammed on the brakes, causing the car to stall. The thin man walking ahead saw the car stop and exaggeratedly climbed onto it, shouting, "Xia Yan! Are you trying to kill me?"
Xia Yan's expression changed drastically. She yanked open the car door and jumped out, shouting, "Chen Kui, stop being unreasonable! If I really hit you and you died, it would be for nothing. Do you think it's worth it?"
The man called Chen Kui straightened up upon hearing Xia Yan's words and laughed, "Of course it's worth it! What's not worth? If I get hit by a beautiful woman, I can become a ghost and be with you day and night. That's a good thing! Why don't you just hit me?" As he spoke, he began to bump his chest against Xia Yan.
Xia Yan stepped back in disgust, but this guy took it as an invitation and started to touch her inappropriately. His actions drew the attention of passersby who stopped to watch. Xia Yan's face turned red with anger as she shouted, but Chen Kui acted like a rogue, showing no concern for his image. The two yellow-haired companions who came with him also stepped forward to block Xia Yan's escape.
Fei Hu was furious now. He opened the car door and jumped out, sternly reprimanding them, "What do you think you're doing in broad daylight?"
"Hey! Miss Xia, when did you get yourself a toy boy? You didn't even tell me! I've been thinking about it for days. You owe me compensation for lost youth; otherwise, you won't be able to enter this neighborhood today," Chen Kui said, extending his arms. The two yellow-haired guys followed suit behind him.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, Xia Yan quickly pulled Fei Hu aside and said, "Let's not go back; let's eat outside and avoid this scumbag." As she said this, Fei Hu noticed her eyes were filled with unshed tears.
When something like this happened to Fei Hu, he had to get to the bottom of it: "Don't be afraid. What exactly is going on? Tell me about it. Hiding isn't a solution; you can dodge the first day of the month but not the fifteenth."
"Hey! Miss Xia, don't even think about running away. Let me be honest with you! You can't escape unless you give up your house here," Chen Kui shouted loudly with a rogue-like demeanor.
Xia Yan glanced at Fei Hu and said, "This guy is just a small-time thug around here. He comes to bother me every day, saying he wants me to be his girlfriend. He's like a weasel wishing a chicken happy new year—he has bad intentions. Do you think I could agree to him? Just look at him."
Fei Hu understood immediately. He walked over and quietly told Chen Kui, "Isn't it a bit excessive to treat a woman like this? You may not care about your face, but others do."
"Oh! Toy boy, I see you're not that white; you're just a bit sturdier than me. No wonder this girl won't agree to me; it's because of you. That's great! Since you've come looking for trouble yourself, I'll make it easy for myself. I've been pursuing Xia Yan for over a month now, but she not only ignores me but also says things that hurt my pride and damage my beautiful soul. You all should compensate me somehow!" Chen Kui said as he lowered his voice at the end as if speaking directly to Fei Hu.
Fei Hu was already in a bad mood and feeling empty in his stomach; now encountering such a fly made him furious. He shouted loudly, "Get lost! The farther away the better! Don't ever come looking for trouble with Xia Yan again; otherwise, I'll make sure you walk on your hands from now on!" Fei Hu was extremely angry; although his words were somewhat excessive, once they were out there, he couldn't care less.
Chen Kui thought his move would work, but he didn't expect to encounter someone even more aggressive. He put away his playful demeanor, took a step back, and shouted, "Hey! I've been hanging around this street for a few years and have never met someone as tough as you. Let's see what you've got; if you act like a pretty boy, don't blame me for being ruthless later."
It's no exaggeration to call this guy a rogue. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch forward, startling the passersby who gasped in surprise. Fei Hu was not someone he could hit so easily. With a slight movement of his feet, Fei Hu dodged to the side, and with a swift motion, he executed an arc with his hand. Chen Kui screamed as his arm was twisted behind his back by Fei Hu.
Seeing this, two yellow-haired guys charged from behind Fei Hu. Xia Yan, worried that Fei Hu might be caught off guard, shouted loudly, "Watch out behind you!"
Fei Hu seemed to have eyes in the back of his head; he suddenly turned around and dragged Chen Kui backward into the path of the left yellow-haired guy. The two collided and fell into a heap, causing the onlookers to burst into laughter. After successfully landing a hit, Fei Hu didn't even look back; he kicked out with his right foot, landing a solid blow to the stomach of the right yellow-haired guy, who fell flat on his back with a thud.
In less than a minute, all four guys were sprawled on the ground. Some passersby recognized Chen Kui and remarked that it was a good fight. Due to his stomach growling, Fei Hu decided not to press further and simply stood there.
Chen Kui and the two yellow-haired guys got up from the ground, looking disgruntled. Fei Hu waved at them and said, "I'll give you another chance, but this time I'll hit harder, so be prepared."
Taking a deep breath and clenching his fists, Fei Hu made cracking sounds with his knuckles. Seeing this, Chen Kui hesitated to approach. He pointed at Fei Hu and shouted loudly, "If you're brave enough, don't run! I'll get someone to deal with you!"
"Sure! I'll wait for you. But first, I need to grab a bite to eat. You can bring people here to wait for me. And when you come, bring a stick; I won't let you leave standing this time," Fei Hu said with a serious expression that was somewhat intimidating.
Seeing this, Chen Kui and the two yellow-haired guys turned tail and ran off without even brushing off the dust on their clothes, looking both comical and pathetic. As they fled, some bold passersby began to jeer at them as if they were chasing away street rats.
Xia Yan, feeling concerned for Fei Hu, said, "What if they bring people to beat you up? You're alone; it could end badly for you. Should I call the police? I've been putting up with this for too long; let's settle it once and for all! Otherwise, this guy will think he can push me around."
Fei Hu shook his head and replied, "Just get me something to eat. You can sit back and enjoy the show later; what kind of formidable characters do you think these guys can bring?"
