Outside the window stood a woman with long, straight red hair, wearing a white T-shirt paired with light blue denim shorts, giving her a particularly refreshing appearance.
Her lively almond-shaped eyes scanned the surroundings, and two flowing silver earrings sparkled brightly in the sunlight.
"Is that really her..." Cunning Li muttered in disbelief.
The woman, who looked exactly like Li Yanrong, glanced in their direction, a slight smile curling at the corners of her mouth before she turned and walked briskly away.
The two Li Xiaonan exchanged glances and said in unison, "Let's chase her!"
"Wait... wait! You haven't paid yet!"
Just as they rushed to the door, a server blocked their way. Cunning Li frowned slightly and handed three Gramps Mao bills to the server.
The server accepted the money with a smile and said, "We'll bring your order out and wait for you to return."
Cunning Li's expression darkened as she coldly pushed past the server and shouted, "Get lost!"
The two hurriedly dashed out of the door, but there was no sign of Li Yanrong anywhere.
They exchanged another glance, and Li Xiaonan said, "Don't panic. You go left, I'll go right. We'll search separately!"
Cunning Li nodded and quickly ran to the left, while Li Xiaonan wasted no time heading to the right.
It was noon, and the sun blazed down on the earth, completely unlike the weather of September.
Li Xiaonan ran along, sweat dripping from his forehead, yet he could not find that familiar figure anywhere.
"Yanrong, is that you?"
If it were you, why didn’t you recognize me? Ah, yes… who could recognize me now?
But you would definitely recognize Scheming!
"Yanrong, where are you? Please don’t hide from us!"
Come out quickly!
Li Xiaonan was almost in tears. The street was bustling with people, lively and vibrant, yet he felt as if he was the only one left in this world.
Time passed second by second, and Li Xiaonan's heart gradually grew colder. He sighed and slowly walked toward the restaurant entrance.
He completely failed to notice a shadowy corner where a red-haired girl bit her red lip, her round almond-shaped eyes filled with laughter.
In a voice only she could hear, she said, "Stupid Li Xiaonan, this is what you get for abandoning me! Just wait and see how I’ll get back at you! I will make you fall in love with me! And then I’ll dump you hard!"
Just as Li Xiaonan reached the restaurant door, Cunning Li returned from another direction.
The two exchanged a glance, both looking dejected and gloomy. Without needing to speak, they both knew there had been no success.
Cunning Li's Adam's apple bobbed up and down as he punched the red brick wall beside the restaurant, leaving splatters of bright red on the surface.
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly and grabbed his hand, saying, "Since she appeared around here, it's very likely she's a student at S University! We will definitely find her!"
Cunning Li nodded and allowed Li Xiaonan to lead him into the restaurant.
Li Xiaonan addressed the waiter who had just interrupted them, "Bring us everything we ordered earlier!"
After all, they had spent three of Gramps Mao's bills! It would be a shame not to eat.
With that, he pulled Cunning Li to a table and casually took the ice water that the waiter had just brought, pouring it over Cunning Li's bleeding hand before taking out a handkerchief from his pocket to wrap it up.
Cunning Li did not refuse or struggle; he simply gazed quietly at his bleeding hand.
The actions of these two grown men were undeniably intimate and ambiguous.
"Hey! Isn't this Li Xiaonan? Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder I saw Qin Yu eating alone earlier; turns out you already have someone special!"
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly as he looked at Fang Jun approaching him, followed by three lackeys who all sported yellow hair and clearly looked like thugs.
Fang Jun squatted down to examine Cunning Li closely and couldn't help but chuckle, "Not bad looking! Better than Qin Yu! Too bad no matter how good-looking he is, he's still a man! Li Xiaonan, you're really disgusting."
Li Xiaonan took a deep breath, suppressing the anger inside him, and rolled up the freshly served spaghetti to shove into his mouth.
"Oh! Not saying anything means you agree? Looks like I should take your pictures and post them on the school bulletin board. I guarantee you'll make headlines tomorrow."
Cunning Li furrowed his brows, crossing his arms and casting a cold glance at Fang Jun.
Then, he turned to Li Xiaonan with a smile, saying, “Why are you acting so timid? Although you’re not impulsive, your temper isn’t that bad, right? Have you really changed?”
“He’s just a mad dog, eat your meal!” Li Xiaonan replied coldly without even looking up.
He didn’t regard Fang Jun at all; his mind was filled with the image of Li Yanrong’s graceful smile, which he couldn’t shake off. He had no time to deal with Fang Jun.
“How dare you call me a dog! Brothers, attack!”
Fang Jun glared fiercely, and with his command, three men with dyed yellow hair stepped forward, ready to flip the table.
Cunning Li coldly pressed down on the table with one hand. The three yellow-haired men were startled, feeling as if this unassuming wooden table weighed a thousand pounds; even together, they couldn’t budge it an inch.
Although Cunning Li didn’t possess True Essence Power, his physical strength was many times greater than that of an ordinary person. He looked coldly at Fang Jun.
“I don’t care who you are; all I know is that I’m in a bad mood right now. If you don’t want to die, take your lapdogs and get lost!”
Fang Jun felt a jolt of fear and thought to himself: What an imposing presence!
He couldn’t help but take two steps back but saw Li Xiaonan sitting there, eating heartily as if nothing were wrong, not even lifting his head.
His frustration grew; he couldn’t swallow this anger. He shouted, “Get them! I’ll take responsibility for whatever happens!”
Li Xiaonan swallowed the last noodle, slammed the table, and shouted angrily, “Damn it, Fang Jun! Are you done yet? Are you a cucumber that needs to be slapped? I can’t be bothered with Qin Yu’s affairs; chase whoever you want! Just don’t bother me!”
Cunning Li chuckled and calmly sat back down in his chair, saying, "Now this is the Li Xiaonan I know. Go ahead and hit me; I'm just here to eat!"
Li Xiaonan shot him a glare and retorted, "Hit your sister!"
He then turned to Fang Jun, "Can you give your old man a break and stop causing trouble everywhere? How many sons have gotten their fathers into trouble? Can't you just take it easy for a moment? Don't let people think you're wasting oxygen while you're alive! You'd be better off as a plant, just staying wherever it's cool!"
Fang Jun was taken aback, feeling even angrier. He suddenly pushed the three yellow-haired guys in front of him and shouted, "What are you standing around for? Get him!"
The three nodded, and one of the yellow-haired guys with medium-length hair picked up a chair and hurled it at Li Xiaonan.
Li Xiaonan frowned; if he took that hit, he might end up with broken bones.
It seemed today’s events wouldn’t end peacefully. He pushed off with his right hand, jumped onto the sofa, and kicked the attacker square in the face.
A scream echoed as the Yellow-Haired One fell to the ground, leaving a makeshift Adidas shoe print on his face.
At that moment, the second yellow-haired guy launched his attack. He threw a punch at Li Xiaonan with a tricky angle, aiming precisely and striking viciously.
Li Xiaonan instantly ignited with rage, like a match dropped into an oil field—everything went up in flames.
Damn it! Trying to take my life! I'll break your hand first!
He grabbed a fork from beside him with his right hand, leaned to the side, and seized the opponent's wrist before delivering a sharp jab to his forearm.
The second yellow-haired guy yelped and jumped aside, crashing into several tables and chairs along the way.
Cunning Li, who had been sitting by and watching the show, finally made his move. A sly smile crept across his lips as he swiftly shifted his body.
Suddenly appearing behind Fang Jun, Li Xiaonan, who was a few centimeters taller than Fang Jun, coldly chuckled as he seized the latter's neck with one hand.
"Make your little brother stop, or this delicate neck of yours might just snap!"
Fang Jun had no idea how Li Xiaonan had maneuvered behind him. In a panic, he stammered, "Y-you... who are you?"
Cunning Li's subordinate applied a bit more pressure. "You don't deserve to know who I am. Just make them stop!"
"Stop... stop it!"
The three yellow-haired thugs breathed a sigh of relief as they looked at Li Xiaonan, all sharing the same thought.
Thank goodness, we don't have to fight this skinny monkey.
"You, I have some impression of you. You're Fang Jun, the son of Principal Fang, right?" Cunning Li said, resting a hand on Fang Jun's shoulder.
"You know who I am, so let me go!"
"Oh? If I let you go, then I need to ask my brother. Li Xiaoyang, what do you think? Should we let him go?"
Li Xiaonan adjusted his glasses as he sat on the sofa and said, "If we don't eliminate the roots of the problem, spring winds will blow again. If someone wants us in the headlines, shouldn't we reciprocate?"
"Haha! That suits me perfectly! There's a small inn fifty meters to the right at the entrance; it looks decent! Let's go!"
Cunning Li smiled coldly, wrapping one arm around Fang Jun's neck as they walked toward the door.
Li Xiaonan glanced back at the blond-haired guy and said, "Come on, brothers!"
The group swaggered out of the door, and the three waiters didn’t dare to stop them.
"Xiao Feng, quickly call the principal and tell him his son has been taken away!" After everyone left, a middle-aged man who looked like the manager said to one of the waiters.
"Got it!"
Five minutes later, Cunning Li dragged Fang Jun into a room, using Fang Jun's ID and money from his wallet to check in.
The room was small but relatively clean, especially the white bed sheets that were very bright.
Li Xiaonan stared blankly at the dust dancing in the sunlight, feeling a bit lost in thought.
Cunning Li stripped Fang Jun of his clothes and pushed him onto the bed, grinning sinisterly as he said, "Are you coming or should I?"
Li Xiaonan was taken aback and replied, "I don’t have a phone."
"Poor thing! I'll take you to buy one later. Let me handle this today! You three blondies, hurry up and take your clothes off! Get on the bed! Come on, what are you waiting for?"
Fang Jun bit his lip in frustration; if looks could kill, both Li Xiaonan would have died a thousand times over by now.
Cunning Li rolled his eyes and put down his phone. "Why are you all so stiff? Come on, I'll show you how to do it. Climb on top of him like this! Spread your legs a bit!"
Li Xiaonan looked at Cunning Li, who was possessed by the Koala, and coughed lightly, saying, "Just a little teasing! And by the way, my sexual orientation is perfectly normal, so don't rub against me!"
"Please, as if I want to!" Cunning Li rolled his eyes dismissively.
When Cunning Li rolled his eyes, it looked cool; when Li Xiaonan did it, it just seemed silly.
Cunning Li waved his Samsung Phone and said with a grin, "Fang, if you dare to bother my brother again, I swear I'll make sure you hit the headlines! I'm taking your clothes for now as a small punishment!"
"You... you guys..." Fang Jun clutched the blanket, his face flushed, unsure whether he was more angry or embarrassed.
As soon as Cunning Li stepped out the door, he tossed the clothes of the four people behind him.
Li Xiaonan dazedly followed Cunning Li to buy new clothes and a new phone, still wondering what kind of person Cunning Li's older brother was to be this wealthy.
Li Xiaonan couldn't help but think in a rather crude manner: maybe that man has issues with his sexual orientation!
Meanwhile, the legendary principal finally found Fang Jun.
