After changing her clothes, He Tiantian came out of the bathroom. Shen Yizhou was already waiting for her at the door. She ran to the bedside and put on her shoes.

"Where should we eat?" He Tiantian asked as she opened the door.

"Do you want to go straight to the bar to eat?" Shen Yizhou raised an eyebrow at He Tiantian.

"Sure, I've never been to a bar before!" He Tiantian said excitedly, remembering that she only knew how to work honestly and didn't have many friends, let alone go to a place like this to have fun.

Shen Yizhou looked at He Tiantian's outfit with satisfaction; it was ugly but also safe.

The two followed the signs to the bar.

The moment He Tiantian stepped inside, every cell in her body seemed to come alive; the atmosphere was a completely new experience for her.

Shen Yizhou checked his phone and realized that arriving at 7:05 PM was just in time; the crowd would pick up later.

He Tiantian found a corner by the window. "How do I order here, Zhouzhou?"

Shen Yizhou took out his phone, scanned the QR code on the table, and then handed the phone to He Tiantian.

He Tiantian carefully flipped through the menu, and many of the dishes were ones she had never tried before. In the end, she ordered a spaghetti bolognese and a snack platter.

After she finished ordering, she returned the phone to Shen Yizhou.

Shen Yizhou added a peach drink for He Tiantian, and then ordered a pizza and a coffee for himself.

He Tiantian quietly observed her surroundings. At this moment, five boys walked in. They looked to be in their early twenties and were all dressed very smartly.

He Tiantian recognized the tall boy at a glance. She patted Shen Yizhou's arm, urging him to look in the direction of the boys.

Shen Yizhou calmly turned around. This was all within his expectations. He patted He Tiantian's hand, signaling her to turn around.

"Don't keep staring at them," Shen Yizhou reminded He Tiantian, warning that her gaze was too intense and they would notice.

He Tiantian turned her head towards Shen Yizhou, but her eyes kept glancing at them out of the corner of her eye; she was excited inside.

The boys sat in the center and waved. It wasn't the waiter who took their order, but the manager, which surprised He Tiantian.

He Tiantian only came to her senses after the waiter blocked her view; it turned out that they had brought the dishes to the table.

She couldn't wait to pick up her fork and start eating; it tasted great! Shen Yizhou picked up a slice of pizza and put it on her plate. When it comes to food, everything else can wait.

He Tiantian looked at the pink drink in front of her and asked, "I didn't order this. Did you order it?"

"Have a drink, it's for you," Shen Yizhou replied while eating his pizza.

He Tiantian picked up the drink and took a sip. It tasted even better than she had imagined. Suddenly, she felt like a country bumpkin?

No! She needs to appear more reserved!

Not long after, four more people walked in. Shen Yizhou recognized the group of people who had been sitting next to them earlier that day and were called Lao Gao.

The younger group disapproved of Lao Gao's gang's behavior, finding it extremely thuggish.

Old Gao and his group disapproved of the young people's behavior, thinking they were just being pretentious.

War is imminent.

[What are you looking at, you little brat?]

[How dare that old bastard talk like that? Doesn't he have any manners at all?]

[Holy crap, you're talking to me about manners? Do you really think you're some kind of upper-class person?]

Xiaoyu, don't argue with them.

The boy named Xiaoyu, after hearing his companion's advice, stopped arguing with Lao Gao and his gang.

As a result, Lao Gao became overconfident, thinking that the young people were intimidated by his imposing manner.

Hearing all this, He Tiantian's gossipy nature instantly resurfaced.

Lao Gao is up to his old tricks again. His voice is really loud; it can drown out the music in the bar.

Sigh, young people these days are so confident.

[Hahahaha, they probably have no idea what we used to be like, wielding knives and hacking people around.]

[Yeah, Old Chen really should teach these brats a lesson.]

Xiao Yu and his group remained silent for the time being, quietly drinking the wine on the table.

He Tiantian couldn't help but admire them; these people were extraordinary to be able to endure this.

Shen Yizhou actually enjoyed watching them fight like dogs.

Seeing that they didn't react, Lao Gao became even more arrogant, thinking that they were scared and wanted to be cowards, and continued to provoke the other side.

Xiao Yu picked up the ashtray on the table and smashed it over Lao Gao's head. Lao Gao's head was instantly cracked open, and he sat there stunned in his chair.

Xiao Yu's companions also rushed forward, kicking Lao Gao's body wildly.

Old Gao's men couldn't hold back when they saw this, and they cursed and started hitting back.

The food and drinks on the table were knocked to the ground. Xiao Yu started hitting Lao Gao, but Lao Gao was no pushover. He found an opportunity, stood up, and knocked Xiao Yu down with a single punch.

His weight and physique were his advantages; even if Xiao Yu hit him on the head, Lao Gao could still stand up and fight back.

He Tiantian was startled by this scene; she hadn't expected the battle to start so quickly! She quickly got up and sat down next to Shen Yizhou, so that the attack wouldn't reach her and would target Shen Yizhou first.

The waiter was caught in a dilemma. Rushing in would only result in him getting beaten up. All the other customers had already run away, leaving only He Tiantian and Shen Yizhou.

"We won't get caught in the crossfire, will we?!" He Tiantian cried out nervously, hiding in Shen Yizhou's arms as she watched the scene unfold.

"Don't worry, they can't hit you even if they want to." Shen Yizhou felt that they had fought enough and would stop soon.

They fought to a standstill, and strangely, no one called the police. The shop assistants just stood by and watched, as if they were used to such things.
