“Brother Feng, it’s these bastards. They just bullied me.” Xiao Ya had originally planned to go out for a meal with Lin Feng, but halfway there, she discovered that these damn thugs had almost insulted her, a young girl. Now they were sitting around drinking beer and talking lewdly.
They spoke loudly as if they were proud of themselves. Xiao Ya listened closely and realized they seemed to be discussing how they had bullied her. Although she hadn’t actually been bullied, her panicked reaction at the time had become their topic of conversation. As they drank more, their faces turned red and they laughed heartily.
Hearing this, Lin Feng looked in the direction Xiao Ya was pointing. Those people were being utterly shameless, so it was easy for Lin Feng to spot them.
“Heh... interesting. Xiao Ya, let’s warm up a bit before we eat; it will probably feel much better during the meal,” Lin Feng intended to stand up for Xiao Ya. However, these ruffians were everywhere, making it difficult for Lin Feng to track them down. Moreover, this wasn’t City B, a mid-level city; the Wolf Gang's influence didn’t reach here. So Lin Feng had to dismiss that thought for now. But since he had run into them here, how could he not teach them a lesson?
After all, these guys were planning to bully Xiao Ya.
“Okay, let’s go.” Knowing that Lin Feng wanted to avenge her, Xiao Ya nodded obediently. For some reason, she even linked her arm with Lin Feng’s. However, Lin Feng didn’t mind; although Xiao Ya was a bit headstrong, she suited his temperament quite well.
“Boss, bring us four bottles of beer.” To Xiao Ya’s surprise, Lin Feng ignored the thugs sitting nearby and sat down at an empty table instead, calling out to the boss.
“Sure thing, coming right up.” The boss was surprised that Lin Feng didn’t order food but was willing to accommodate any reasonable request from a customer.
Although Xiao Ya didn’t understand why Lin Feng was doing this, she said nothing and sat across from him.
Before long, the boss quickly brought four bottles of beer to their table.
Lin Feng never intended to keep a low profile. Besides, calling for four bottles of beer right away drew attention. Naturally, the four thugs Xiao Ya had pointed out also noticed Lin Feng's table. Upon seeing him, they recognized the beautiful girl sitting next to him as the one they had just been discussing.
Looking at Lin Feng in his suit and with a refined demeanor made them laugh; this white-collar worker must be the girl’s boyfriend. They assumed that if Lin Feng were a wealthy and influential person, he wouldn’t be wearing a suit in a place like this.
Thus, they concluded that Lin Feng was probably just another broke guy.
Their minds began to race with ideas; if they could tease the beautiful girl in front of her boyfriend, it would surely be more thrilling.
Having drunk quite a bit already and feeling emboldened by their liquid courage, they exchanged glances and stood up, heading straight toward Lin Feng's table.
"Hey... brother, you have quite a tolerance for alcohol, but I wonder how this beautiful lady feels about it?" Since they decided to provoke Lin Feng, they naturally wouldn't just stand there and directly approached him.
"Do I know you?" Lin Feng wanted them to make the first move. Otherwise, if he beat them up later, he wouldn't be able to claim the moral high ground, and that wouldn't be satisfying.
"Hehe... we don't know each other, but isn't this how we get to know each other? My brother thinks your girlfriend is quite attractive, so he wants to toast her. What do you think?" The thugs felt confident because they had the numbers on their side and saw Lin Feng as a skinny guy, likely just a timid white-collar worker. They thought if they could make this girl’s boyfriend back down with just a few words, they wouldn’t have to resort to violence.
"Forget it, Xiao Ya, let's go." Lin Feng pushed away the hands of those thugs and took Xiao Ya's hand, ready to leave.
"Hey... brother, you can go, but this beauty stays. It's rare for us to want to be friends with her," one of the four thugs said shamelessly as they blocked Lin Feng's way.
"And what if I say no?" Lin Feng still pretended to be flustered but managed to respond defiantly.
Seeing Lin Feng's demeanor, the four thugs thought he was just a softie. They had pushed him this far, and he was still only refusing verbally.
So one of them raised his hand and slapped at Lin Feng, intending to show off in front of Xiao Ya while also wanting to give Lin Feng a taste of pain. Although they were low-level thugs, they still wanted to impress others when facing ordinary people.
Moreover, this was in front of the beautiful Xiao Ya, even though they were targeting her "boyfriend."
Of course, Xiao Ya knew about Lin Feng's skills and had not shown any reaction from the beginning. At first, she might not have understood what Lin Feng intended to do, but gradually she began to realize his intentions.
After all, Xiao Ya knew that Lin Feng was like a soft persimmon that could be easily squeezed.
Sure enough, when the thug raised his hand to hit Lin Feng, he threw a punch into the thug's soft belly. Although he was angry inside, Lin Feng held back; he wasn't in City B anymore and thought it would be better to keep a low profile.
Even so, that guy immediately clutched his stomach and rolled on the ground like a shrimp.
The other three saw Lin Feng resist and that it was effective. They immediately charged at him as well. However, being petty people themselves, even though they were outnumbering him, they grabbed beer bottles from the table and threw them at Lin Feng.
Seeing this, Lin Feng also grabbed a beer bottle from his table and swiftly swung it at their heads.
Without any suspense, the three beer bottles shattered, and the three of them fell directly to the ground, covering their heads.
Seeing their condition, Lin Feng was still not satisfied. He opened another bottle of beer, took a sip, and shouted to the boss, "Boss, get me a pack of salt."
The boss had just witnessed Lin Feng's ferocity, having knocked those four men down with a wave of his hand. He didn't dare to offend Lin Feng and quickly turned to grab a pack of salt. Although he normally didn't sell salt, since Lin Feng asked for it, he had no choice but to take a pack from the kitchen and handed it to Lin Feng.
Receiving the pack of salt, Lin Feng handed it to Xiao Ya and said, "Dissolve the salt in this bottle of beer."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ya complied. Before long, she had mixed the "salt beer."
"Good." Seeing that Xiao Ya had finished mixing it, Lin Feng praised her and then took the bottle of salt beer and walked toward the four thugs.
"Hehe... weren't you guys wanting to drink? Now I'll treat you." Lin Feng smiled as he poured the bottle of salt beer directly over the heads of the three bleeding thugs.
Immediately, they screamed in agony, but Lin Feng remained expressionless. He emptied the remaining salt beer and smashed the bottle on the ground. The glass shards splattered onto the four men on the floor, causing another round of screams.
After dealing with those scoundrels, Lin Feng took out a bill and placed it on the table, saying to the boss, "Check please."
After that, Lin Feng took Xiao Ya's hand and walked away.
"How do you feel? Is it satisfying?" After walking for a while, Lin Feng asked Xiao Ya.
"It feels pretty good. If I could have poured the salt beer on their heads myself at the end, that would have been even better," Xiao Ya said something that surprised Lin Feng.
This girl is quite cunning; I can't offend her. That was Lin Feng's first impression after hearing Xiao Ya's words.
"So what? We couldn't eat earlier; where do you want to go eat now?" Lin Feng decided not to dwell on what had just happened. Dealing with a few thugs wasn't a big deal for him; he was more concerned about how to fill his stomach.
"Hehe... since you avenged me so impressively, how about I go buy some ingredients and cook for you at home?" Xiao Ya suggested as she felt a bit hungry.
"Well, as long as it’s edible, that’s fine by me. I'm not picky about food," Lin Feng readily agreed.
"Hey, what do you mean by just edible? Let me tell you, my cooking skills are top-notch. Just wait and see, don’t swallow your tongue!" Xiao Ya clearly took offense at Lin Feng's words and retorted.
Next, Lin Feng and Xiao Ya strolled around the mall to gather ingredients. Of course, since it was Xiao Ya who insisted on treating Lin Feng, she directly paid for everything. Although Lin Feng knew that Xiao Ya's financial situation wasn't great, she was determined to pay, so he went along with it. If he insisted further, Xiao Ya might have had her own thoughts about it.
Besides, it wasn’t a lot of money; despite the large bags they carried, it was mostly just some vegetables, totaling less than a hundred yuan.
After paying, as a punishment for Lin Feng underestimating her cooking skills, Xiao Ya made him carry all the heavy bags while she only held a small portion of the items.
Xiao Ya mentioned that even though Lin Feng was carrying more, without what she had in her hands, tonight's hot pot wouldn't taste as good.
Seeing Xiao Ya acting mysterious, Lin Feng decided to play along. After being startled earlier, he was quite happy to see her recover so quickly.
When they arrived at Xiao Ya's house, she indeed kicked Lin Feng out of the kitchen and began preparing the hot pot.
Although hot pot is similar to a buffet style of dining, Xiao Ya insisted on preparing the broth and other things herself, not allowing Lin Feng to watch.
"All I ask is that it’s edible," Lin Feng reiterated his request as he was pushed out of the kitchen by Xiao Ya.
"Get lost," Xiao Ya exclaimed in frustration, unable to hold back a curse from her hometown.
