Time seemed to have been paused. All movements froze. All eyes, near and far, filled with fear or curiosity, were focused on Ye Chen, who remained in a punching stance, his body suddenly stiffening.
Ye Chen was completely stunned. His fist stopped less than a centimeter from Qin Xiao's nose, unable to advance an inch. The expression on his face changed from ferocious anger to astonishment, and then to disbelief.
He...farted? At a time like this? And so loudly?
Immediately afterward, before he could even react to the unexpected turn of events...
"Puff puff puff puff puff puff—!"
A series of louder, denser sounds, like an old tractor failing to start or a machine gun firing its exhaust, erupted continuously without interruption! The sounds rose higher and higher, rhythmic and varied, carrying a certain...moist and viscous quality!
Accompanied by a deafening roar, a stench so intense it was suffocating, as if mixed with sulfur, rotten eggs, and rotting marsh gas, and even carrying some indescribable stench, spread rapidly in a circle centered on Ye Chen, like the most terrifying biological weapon!
The restaurant erupted in even more piercing sounds of retching and screams!
"Holy crap! What's that smell?!" "Ugh—! I can't take it anymore! Who is it?! So rude!" "Open the windows! Ventilate! Someone's going to die!!" "Security! Where's security?!"
Ye Chen's face went through several seconds of transformation, from flushed red to deathly pale, then from deathly pale to ashen, and finally turned into a purplish-brown color that was a mixture of terror, shame, and despair.
He clearly felt an uncontrollable surge of heat, like a flood bursting its banks, rushing out from behind him!
That's it. He... defecated... in public.

The gazes of everyone around him were a mixture of fear, disdain, disgust, and a strange sense of sympathy.
Ye Chen no longer cared about causing trouble for Qin Xiao, nor about saving face or dignity. He let out a scream that was not human, filled with despair and shame.
He suddenly squeezed his legs together. In an extremely awkward, penguin-like waddling motion, he stumbled and staggered as he fled in panic toward the restaurant's main entrance!
He ran incredibly fast, almost tumbling and crawling, as if countless vengeful ghosts were chasing him, trying to drag him into a hell of shame.
The pungent, nauseating odor, like the mark of his shame at this moment, left behind an invisible yet incredibly clear trail.
An eerie silence fell over the restaurant. Only the nauseating, lingering stench stubbornly reminded everyone of the horrific scene that had just unfolded.
Gu Siqing stared in disbelief at Ye Chen's disheveled and almost fleeing figure, unable to recover for a long time.
She turned her head and looked at Qin Xiao, who had been sitting in the same spot the whole time, looking calm and collected, even slowly wiping his mouth with a napkin.
Her eyes held an incredibly complex expression...
