“I’m writing a song. I need inspiration,” Jiang Shuchen explained sincerely.
"Oh," Lin Wanwan replied softly, her heart still filled with doubt.
“I like Li Peiyu, but she thought I liked you, so she asked you out. But can you have dinner with me? I want to know what it feels like to be pushed away by someone you like.”
This was a reason Jiang Shuchen had racked his brains to come up with, to make Lin Wanwan misunderstand that he liked Li Peiyu, so that Lin Wanwan could have dinner with him without any worries.
"You like Li Peiyu," Lin Wanwan said as if suddenly realizing something.
"Yes, she's enthusiastic, completely opposite to me." Jiang Shuchen nodded slightly, making up a story on the spot. "She's like a passionate flame, I like her personality."
"Then I'll help you find inspiration. The person I like also likes Li Peiyu. Everyone likes Li Peiyu." Lin Wanwan's voice carried a hint of helplessness and bitterness.
"Everyone likes Li Peiyu, so what does my liking count for? I can't say it out loud. I have to suppress this feeling of grievance and helplessness and write songs to make her a lot of money."
"I can't bring myself to say it. I can't even find a reason to see him. He's heartbroken, and I can't even offer my concern." Lin Wanwan lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.
For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy, but precisely because of this, the two discovered that they had something in common and became partners who confided their innermost sorrows.
On another street, Li Peiyu and Guo Jiahe were sitting at a barbecue stall, enjoying the delicious barbecue to their hearts' content.
Suddenly, two shady-looking men pulled up two stools and sat down casually next to them.
"Hey ladies, wanna share a table?" one of the blond thugs said with a grin.
Li Peiyu's heart tightened. She keenly sensed that the visitor was up to no good, so she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Please eat, we've finished eating."
"Hey, I just sat down and you're already leaving? Do you have a problem with me? Do you look down on me?" The thug's face darkened, and his tone became unfriendly.
"No, no. We have other things to do," Li Peiyu quickly explained, trying to calm the situation.
The blond thug suddenly grabbed Li Peiyu's wrist and said menacingly, "Come on, sit down and we'll talk for a bit and then you can leave."
Li Peiyu subconsciously looked at the barbecue stall owner, her eyes filled with a pleading look.
"Mind your own business." The thug noticed Li Peiyu's gaze and turned to threaten the boss menacingly.
"If you keep doing this, I'm calling the police." Li Peiyu, unable to bear it any longer, took out her phone to dial the police.
The thug, quick as a flash, snatched Li Peiyu's phone and arrogantly said, "Why are you calling the police? I just want to have a chat with you. Don't be ungrateful."
Li Peiyu stood there quietly, expressionless, but her mind was racing. She wondered to herself: surely they wouldn't act so recklessly in public.
"This girl looks familiar." The blond-haired thug turned his malicious gaze to Guo Jiahe, looking her up and down. Then, he quickly pulled out his phone, his face beaming with excitement, and said, "Is this the streamer? You're even prettier in person than on camera."
"Come on, give me a dance." With that, the thug reached out and groped Guo Jiahe without any hesitation.
Li Peiyu was instantly enraged and, without hesitation, grabbed a beer bottle and smashed it against the blond thug.
"You're asking for it." The thug was instantly enraged, his face turning extremely ferocious.
Li Peiyu wanted to make a scene and attract the attention of passersby to call the police, but as soon as the yellow-haired thug finished speaking, a dilapidated van screeched to a halt, the ear-piercing screech of brakes breaking the previously peaceful atmosphere.
Four or five men got out of the car in a hurry. They all looked fierce and forcibly took Li Peiyu and Guo Jiahe away without saying a word.
Inside the car, Li Peiyu and Guo Jiahe struggled desperately to break free of their restraints, but were sternly warned: "If you don't behave, I'll take care of you right now."
The thug's menacing tone sent chills down their spines, and the two were too frightened to move.
Li Peiyu tried to calm himself down and began to speak in a reasonable manner: "Brothers, I was blind and offended you all just now. Can I compensate you?"
"Brother, do you look like someone who's short of money? I'm just short of pretty women." The thug said with a look of disdain.
Immediately afterwards, Li Peiyu and Guo Jiahe's vision went black as they were knocked unconscious.
When Li Peiyu slowly woke up, she found herself in a huge bed. She quickly checked herself and thankfully her clothes were still intact.
At this moment, Huang Mao stood beside her and said to his subordinates with a lewd look on his face, "Call your uncle up to inspect the goods."
After his subordinates hurriedly left upon hearing this, the blond-haired man eagerly approached Li Peiyu, smirking as he said, "Little sister, don't be afraid, I won't touch you. I'll even introduce you to a good job."
"A big shot is coming soon. You better serve him well and make him happy. I'll give you a five-figure sum," the blond-haired man said, gesturing with his hands.
"Where is this?" Li Peiyu asked, her voice trembling, her eyes filled with fear and unease.
"Then you don't need to worry. If you agree to my proposal, you won't be harmed and you'll even get paid. If you don't agree, I'll take care of you without paying you." The blond-haired man threatened viciously, his ferocious expression chilling.
"Okay, I agree, but don't touch me." Li Peiyu forced herself to speak, pretending to be obedient, while suppressing her anger and fear.
"Then go take a shower obediently." The blond-haired man waved his hand smugly.
"Okay." Li Peiyu feigned agreement and slowly walked into the bathroom.
As soon as she entered the bathroom, she began searching around, trying to find something handy to use as a weapon for self-defense.
However, after searching around, all that was available were bath towels, shower gel, and a shower head.
Li Peiyu frowned, her heart filled with anxiety, but she quickly forced herself to calm down and came up with a solution after thinking for a moment.
She first turned the faucet in the bathtub on full blast, quickly filling it with hot water.
Then she opened the door and said in a sweet voice to the blond-haired man, "Brother, this faucet seems to be broken."
Unsuspecting, Huang Mao grumbled as he entered the bathroom to check. Just as Huang Mao approached the tub, Li Peiyu covered his head with a towel and used all her strength to push Huang Mao into the steaming water.
Caught off guard, blond-haired man tumbled into the water, letting out a pig-like scream. He struggled desperately in the water, trying to stand up.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Peiyu picked up the showerhead, aimed the nozzle at Huang Mao's face, and pressed the switch hard. The powerful water jet hit Huang Mao, making it impossible for him to open his eyes.
Enraged, the blond-haired man cursed and waved his hands wildly, trying to grab Li Peiyu.
Li Peiyu nimbly dodged the attacks while simultaneously kicking Huang Mao's body. But Huang Mao was, after all, a man with considerable strength, and he gradually regained his footing in the pool.
Seeing that the blond-haired man was about to get up and fight back, Li Peiyu quickly grabbed a bottle of shower gel and shampoo and smashed it against the blond-haired man's head. The bottle hit the blond-haired man's forehead with a "bang," and the shower gel splashed everywhere. The blond-haired man was dizzy from the blow and fell into the water again.
