Angry old Zhou clears ringworm and scabies, worried about the weak girl who is in danger
Xue Jiuyue learned to pant heavily, took a sip of coffee, and then added, "You're poisoned! And there's no cure! It seems like I have to do everything I can to help you."
"Yes, please!"
"Why are you being so polite to me? Your business is my business! But when it comes to pursuing a girl, wishful thinking alone isn't enough. You have to understand her. From what I know, Yiyi is a very independent girl with sharp insight and a good sense of the overall situation. She's not the type to be coquettish and pampered. So, you should show her your best side! For example, when playing basketball, just act like normal and show yourself normally. That's what makes you look cool! Who would like it if you were so obviously letting her win?"
"Well, I understand a little bit."
"What are you best at?"
"I don't seem to be particularly good at anything. I have good grades, but we can't take the exam together."
"So when are you most confident? Confident boys are the most contagious!"
"Confidence." Qiu Nian recalled carefully, "I am most confident when I am working! But, Yiyi can't see it."
"Don't worry, just focus on the present moment, there will always be opportunities! We've got another basketball game tonight, haven't we? I heard you were on the school team in college, so show your skill!"
"Yes! Don't worry, I will try my best."
"Besides basketball, what else are you good at?"
"I'm also good at swimming, baseball, and tennis."
"Yeah, I understand."
Just now, Qiu Nian must have taken advantage of Lin Yiyi's closed eyes listening to music to learn from her. Now a customer came into the shop, and Lin Yiyi had to be busy, so he quickly excused himself and went to help.
The next customer to enter the store was a familiar face, a thin, dark-skinned middle-aged man with thick, long hair that casually displayed his unruly spirit. After placing his order, he walked directly over to Xue Jiuyue, "Hello!"
The voice was low and a little hoarse.
"Hello, please take a seat." Xue Jiuyue replied politely.
"No, I won't be sitting here. I'm just reminding you that someone outside seems to be causing trouble for you! Two or three hooligans are causing trouble at the intersection, preventing people from getting in! I just tried to squeeze in and was almost injured by them."
"Oh, okay, thank you so much, I'll take care of it!"
After thanking the "artistic man", Xue Jiuyue noticed that there were indeed several young people gathered at the entrance of the coffee shop leading to the street.
As I got closer, I saw that it was my old acquaintance, "Hooknose," and his gang of scoundrels, brawling at the intersection, blocking traffic. The two men he brought with him were especially striking. They were dressed like street people, spewing filth, and engaging in a theatrical exchange of punches and kicks, making it hard to avoid them.
Seeing Xue Jiuyue, the "hook-nosed" man came over to greet her provocatively, "Boss lady, what are you doing, passing by? Be careful, fists and kicks have no eyes!"
"You are going too far. You want to fight? Come on! Do you want a one-on-one fight or a team fight?" Ke Yike walked forward in anger. Qiu Nian hesitated for a moment and then stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
"Handsome guy, you want to be a hero and save the damsel in distress, right? You..." Before the "Hooked Nose" could finish his words, his shoulder was slapped down by a powerful big hand.
"Who are you?" "Hooked Nose" turned around.
"Three seconds, get out of my sight!" Old Zhou stared at the "Hook Nose" with a rage burning in his eyes. But he uttered an icy voice, "One!"
"Hooked Nose" was so distracted by Lao Zhou's aura that he wanted to retreat.
"Boss." The two friends beside him called out in a low voice at a loss, which gave him courage or forced him to continue to hold on.
"two!"
"Uncle, if you say disappear, I will disappear. I was scared, right?"
"Time's up! This first punch is for Xiao Xian!"
"Old Zhou, stop it!"
"Brother Zhou, don't!"
Qian Jianjun and Xue Jiuyue shouted at the same time, but they were powerless to stop the whistling fist.
Hooknose watched as a fist grew larger and larger before his eyes, feeling frozen in place, unable to react. Then the fist vanished, and a bright burst of light erupted from his eyes, scattering and vanishing like fireworks, leaving behind a pitch-black darkness.
Seeing the "hook nose" fall straight to the ground like a felled tree, the two "social people" were so frightened that they ran away like stray dogs.
Old Zhou ignored them and muttered, "This second punch is for your poor..."
But Old Zhou couldn't finish his words, nor could he throw a second punch. Qian Jianjun desperately grabbed his right hand, and Xue Jiuyue stood in front of him.
"Brother Zhou, it's not worth it for you to fight for such a scumbag! He will be punished by law!"
It is not known whether the law will punish "Hooked Nose", but Lao Zhou was taken away by law enforcement officers for beating someone.
The basketball game they had originally planned was canceled by the accident, and everyone was still scrambling to find Lao Zhou's safety. Despite using various connections and acquaintances, Qian Jianjun was unable to visit Lao Zhou or bring him to the hospital for observation. Fortunately, Qian Jianjun consulted with lawyers and the case officer, and since "Hooknose" had only sustained a minor injury and was at fault, with "Hooknose"'s forgiveness, Lao Zhou could be released quickly.
It was still a street stall full of the atmosphere of fireworks. Although the usually taciturn Old Zhou was missing, the sadness of "people's faces are gone, but the peach blossoms still smile in the spring breeze" still suppressed everyone's laughter and everyone discussed countermeasures with a serious face.
Everything else was fine; the key now was how to gain the "Hooknose"'s forgiveness. Qian Jianjun couldn't even meet him in person, no matter how hard he tried, let alone negotiate or reach an understanding.
"Ahem..." Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Ke Yike hesitated. Finally, he cleared his throat twice and made a decision. "I know someone who might be able to find that scumbag. His words carry some weight, so maybe he can help us make it happen."
"Sure, ahem, you have a wide network of contacts!"
"You mean..." Xue Jiuyue hesitated, not wanting Qiu Nian to praise her directly. She should know who Ke Yike was talking about, and she had dealt with him before...
"Cough cough." Ke Yike's clear cough opened the curtain of time and disturbed Xue Jiuyue's meditation.
"how?"
"Sister Yue, I've prepared dinner, but I'd like to ask for a leave."
"Wouldn't you like to eat something together?"
"No, I'll bring a sandwich."
"Oh, that's fine." Xue Jiuyue didn't ask why.
"thank you."
The accidentally drifting fallen leaves did not disturb the waves for too long, and the still water like a mirror once again reflected the inner peace.
Only Zhou Ying's slightly awkward words after dinner broke the peaceful and comfortable tranquility.
"Sister Yue, I want to go find Ke Yike."
"oh?"
Zhou Ying's blushing face and different tone from usual made Xue Jiuyue's gossipy heart explode.
"I, I'm afraid something will happen to him!"
"Yeah, yeah, I understand you're worried when we're apart for a while."
"No, Sister Yue, he, he asked for leave to go sell alcohol."
"Selling wine?"
"Well, he seems to be short of money recently, so he's thinking of selling a few boxes of old wine his master left him! He thinks the buy-back price is too low, so he wants to sell it in front of the restaurant. I always feel that this method is prone to accidents, but he won't listen to my advice. Ever since he left, I've been uneasy, and I want to go and take a look."
"Do you know which restaurant he went to?" After hearing Zhou Ying's words, Xue Jiuyue also felt a sudden impulse and couldn't help but worry about Ke Yike.
"He said he wanted to go to the food court."
"Come on, I'll drive and we'll go together."
The food court's mealtimes are later than other places, and it's also much busier. Before even entering the street, there's already a long line of cars.
Zhou Ying frowned as he watched the car moving only a few meters for a long time.
"Sister Yue, how about I go over and look for her first, and then you can park the car and come back?"
"Okay, contact me anytime!"
As soon as she got off the bus, Zhou Ying hurried into the food court. Before she even started searching, a loud commotion caught her attention.
"Brother, this kid is just pretending!"
"Well, even if you play dead, you can't get away with it!"
"Go, splash some cold water on him to wake him up, this damn liar!"
Zhou Ying looked in the direction of the sound and saw a busy restaurant. In the middle of the courtyard filled with dining tables, Ke Yike was lying motionless on a table. A group of people around him were pointing and speaking rudely to him.
Zhou Ying hurried in and asked, "What are you doing?"
The sweet voice burst out with amazing power, separating the crowd.
"Hey, little sister, come and save your boyfriend?"
"What a pretty girl! Give me some fun!"
An unbearable sound followed.
Zhou Ying stared at a middle-aged man sitting in the middle!
"Is he your boyfriend?" The man pointed to Zhou Ying's side.
Zhou Ying glanced down, and now, up close, she was certain it was Ke Yike. He was just emitting a strong smell of alcohol, as if he had just been fished out of a wine vat. Zhou Ying didn't answer, but mustered the courage to meet the man's gaze.
"You're quite brave!" The man's eyes flashed with admiration, and then he explained, "I booked the entire place to celebrate my birthday today, and your boyfriend sold me six bottles of fake wine! According to the rules, you have to pay me ten times the price for every fake product. A total of 300,000 yuan. Otherwise, I'll send him to the police station!"
"Yes, pay the money."
"Pay compensation."
There were a bunch of echoing voices around.
The man raised his hand to silence the noise and continued, "Your boyfriend gave me back the money for the drinks and begged me to let him go! I'm a reasonable person, but with so many people here today, I have to save face! So my request is simple: drink these remaining five bottles of wine, just as a birthday toast to me, and this matter will be written off! Who would have thought that after just two bottles of wine, he would be pretending to be dead!"
"Drank five bottles of wine? That would be fatal!" Zhou Ying felt distressed and her voice became sharp.
"Although I am a rough guy, I am reasonable. He sold me fake wine first. If I send him to the police station, will he be better off? Now that you are here, you can either help him pay the compensation or help me send him to the police station." The man must have drunk a lot, and he smiled foolishly after he finished speaking, but his face looked ferocious no matter how you looked at him.
"How many bottles of wine are left?" Zhou Ying asked.
"There are three bottles left. Why?"
"If I do it for him, can we leave?!"
