Seeing that Xie Yan still looked blank, Gu Che completely lost all hope in him and said bluntly, "Weren't you planning to cause trouble for those people the other day?"
Xie Yan's heart skipped a beat, and his face was filled with shock: "!!!!"
How did this person know?
"I didn't say anything harsh that day!" Xie Yan's facial expressions were as varied as a Sichuan opera face-changing act, so rich that it was dazzling.
Gu Che understood everything just by looking at his expression.
Gu Che continued, "You didn't say it, but your eyes have already betrayed you."
Xie Yan's lips twitched slightly, and he forced out an awkward smile and chuckled.
She had already cursed Gu Che's entire family in her heart. So what if he can read eyes?
Gu Che then added, "But I've been observing you for several days, and you haven't taken any action at all!"
Xie Yan: "..."
Is this person crazy?!
He looked speechless, rolled his eyes, and said, "Brother, don't you even know what kind of society we live in now?"
"This is a society governed by the rule of law! Do you expect me to make some threats one day and then sneak off in the dark the next night and beat those guys to a pulp?"
Xie Yan thought it was just a joke, but to her surprise, Gu Che nodded seriously.
This startled Xie Yan greatly, and he was deeply shaken.
This guy is really ruthless!
Fearing that this person would really ask him to do it, Xie Yan quickly spoke up to explain, "Brother, I'm an honest and upright person. I really couldn't do such a thing!"
"Moreover, I was really furious that night, and all I could think about was catching those guys and beating them up."
"But after a good night's sleep, when my senses returned the next day, I thought to myself, those guys were just being sarcastic, they didn't do anything really heinous, I really couldn't do such a thing!"
"I was thinking that next time they're down on their luck, I'll kick them while they're down and make fun of them; fighting and killing really isn't for me!"
"Besides, with my small frame, do you think I have any chance of winning?"
"I don't want to end up losing out and getting beaten up instead."
Gu Che looked at Xie Yan with a disappointed expression and said, "You're not good enough, but that doesn't mean others aren't! Can't you find outside help?"
Xie Yan quickly shook his head and said, "That won't do. I can't let my wife know about this. It would only upset her!"
Gu Che was speechless. He glared at Xie Yan and turned to leave, wanting to give Xie Yan a good scolding.
He intends to retract his previous praise of Xie Yan.
This guy is a brainless piece of trash; he shouldn't have had any hope for him.
Xie Yan watched Gu Che's departing figure for a long while before belatedly realizing that the "outside help" this person was referring to could be himself!
He was momentarily stunned.
"Forehead!"
To be honest, he really hadn't thought of it that way!
As Xie Yan watched Gu Che's retreating figure, the more he thought about it, the more feasible his previous plan seemed.
Those guys really love to talk trash; they need to be taught a lesson and their arrogance should be curbed.
Getting beaten up or suffering a loss is nothing; adults must always be responsible for their words and actions.
He had planned to talk to Gu Che about the beating the next day, but before Xie Yan could even go to him, he heard the news that those people had been beaten up the next day.
It is said that the group was beaten together, and now they are all bruised and swollen, unable to get off the kang (a heated brick bed).
Xie Yan thought for a moment and guessed who had done it, and couldn't help but laugh happily. He hurriedly went back into the house and said to Yue Hui, "Wife, I'm going out for a walk."
Yu Yuehui was busy with her work when she heard Xie Yan's words. She nodded without looking up.
The first stop of the thank-you banquet was to find Yu Youde.
Yu Youde's house was closest to Xie Yan's house, and Xie Yan arrived at his doorstep in no time.
Yu Youde looked like a shrimp, clinging to the wall and limping towards the toilet, looking extremely pathetic.
His face, which was originally quite good-looking, was now swollen like a pig's head, covered in bruises, and was a truly pitiful sight.
When Xie Yan saw him like this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
The laughter was exceptionally loud in the quiet courtyard, startling the birds in the trees into fluttering away.
Yu Youde was drawn by Xie Yan's laughter and turned his head with difficulty. When he saw that it was Xie Yan, he was so angry that his eyes instantly turned red as if they were about to bleed.
His throat was hoarse from the pain, and he roared angrily in a hoarse voice, "What are you doing here?"
Xie Yan looked him up and down with great interest, a mocking smile playing on his lips, and said slowly, "Of course I'm here to kick someone when they're down!"
"Oh my! Look at him, how did he get beaten up like this?"
"These patches of blue and purple really don't match well!"
"The guy who hit you needs to improve his skills. He should at least hit you more evenly, right? Looks like he doesn't understand aesthetics!"
Yu Youde was so angry at Xie Yan's words that he trembled all over, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Get out!"
Xie Yan shook his head gently with a smile, his playful expression becoming even more pronounced. He deliberately dragged out his words, saying in a cheeky tone, "Hmm~, why are you so loud?"
"Oh~, I see. You want the whole village to admire your unique 'peerless beauty'?" He said, looking Yu Youde up and down with a mocking look in his eyes.
And that look in his eyes, as if he were looking at merchandise, made me want to kill him.
"That's right, I almost forgot, you seem to have a natural love for being watched!" Xie Yan continued unhurriedly, a slight upturn of his lips with a mischievous smile.
"You should have said so earlier! If you had, I would have brought more people and made sure you enjoyed being the center of attention."
"But don't worry~"
"This is very simple for me. Just a simple request and I can fulfill your request."
"Here's what I'm thinking: I'll go to the village and call a few more people over later. Don't worry, I'll call men, women, young and old, so everyone can see what you look like."
"I guarantee you'll be the center of attention for miles around."
"But for now, I'm the only one who can feast my eyes on it."
"Just bear with it for now~"
As Xie Yan spoke, he leaned closer to Yu Youde, carefully examining his swollen face. He clicked his tongue twice and sighed critically, "Look at this little face, it's been beaten up to look like a pig's head~ If you took this to the market, it might attract quite a crowd."
"As expected, you're not suited for a small place like ours!!!"
