"Brother Wen, how about this? You guys are done and then let her go, okay? Don't hurt her anymore." Gao Yan gritted his teeth, deciding to endure it. It didn't matter that she wasn't a virgin anymore; after all, he liked her.
"Hehehe... Kid, you like wearing worn-out shoes and a green hat?" Brother Wen looked at Gao Yan with great interest.
"Brother Wen, isn't this you? If it were anyone else, I would have killed them." Gao Yan said obsequiously with a crooked mouth.
Zhao Lihua nearly fainted from anger upon hearing these words. How could someone be so shameless? Anyone who marries such a man in the future would be blind!
"Go to hell! You're not my turn to play with what I've already done!" Brother Wen's face darkened, and he kicked Gao Yan again. The other henchmen surrounded Gao Yan and started beating him. Gao Yan quickly lost his voice and stopped making noise.
"Damn! So many people are making a scene just to play with a girl, what a downer..." Wen Ge muttered as he turned around, only to be met with a wooden stick that struck him squarely on the forehead. Wen Ge groaned and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
Li Yang rubbed his neck and grimaced, saying, "Damn! That hit of yours was really strong, it almost knocked me out!"
Overjoyed, Zhao Lihua, aka "Li Yang," burst into tears and threw herself into Li Yang's arms. The sight of her full, firm breasts nearly made Li Yang's heart stop.
"Oh. Be gentle, it's killing me." Li Yang rolled his eyes, almost unable to breathe from her enthusiastic hug.
"Keep hitting him, hit his face, yes, hit his face, and his lower back, yes, hit those two places, the effect is most obvious." Li Yang held the stick and stepped on Wen Ge's face, watching the other thugs beat up Gao Yan with a grin.
The two thugs who had been holding Zhao Lihua down were already on the ground and couldn't get up.
With Li Yang's abnormal physique, he only experienced a brief dizziness after being hit by Brother Wen, and quickly regained his senses. He seized the opportunity to launch his attack and decided the outcome of the game in one fell swoop.
"Huh? Why is he up..."
"Oh no, the boss is below him..."
"The boss's face is ruined..."
"Stop it! Save the boss... Hey, let the boss go! Do you know who our boss is? Go out and ask around, Brother Wen, you scared the hell out of your wits!" a thug said, waving a stick.
"Is that so? Go to hell!" Li Yang smashed a stick on his head, and the thug rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
"Anyone else want to come and talk nonsense?" Li Yang asked with a smile.
"Release our boss, and we'll call it even today. We can talk about it later," one of the thugs suggested.
"Later? You still want to take revenge on me later?" Li Yang stepped forward and knocked him down with another blow.
"Li Yang! Stop! They're all on our side." Sister Song suddenly stepped forward. She couldn't stand it anymore. These guys were a disgrace to her. How could her father's men all be such useless cowards?
"Holy crap! It's you? What are you doing here?" Li Yang was startled when he saw Song Tian'er.
"I came to watch the show? It was indeed very exciting, but the enemy was too weak, so it wasn't very engaging!" Song Tian'er said with a smile, in a very good mood.
I'm speechless. I'm getting beaten up here and risking my life, while she's just watching the show!
"Are all these your father's men?" Li Yang couldn't help but wonder.
“Besides him, he’s a scumbag! The rest are all the same.” Song Tian’er said, pointing to the scarred Gao Yan.
"So you knew all along what was going to happen here?" Li Yang asked Song Tian'er, looking utterly exasperated. She was indeed very sexy and stunning today, but Li Yang just couldn't muster any interest because he was in a terrible mood.
"You could say that. But I thought you could handle these things, so I didn't interfere." Song Tian'er smiled sweetly, but her gaze was cold; she had removed her sunglasses. However, her gaze was mainly focused on Zhao Lihua, who looked surprised and uncertain behind Li Yang, and it was very sharp.
Damn! I can handle it, yes, I can handle it! I can handle it so well it's like my heart is shattered!
"Who is she?" Zhao Lihua was no ordinary person after all. After recovering, she instinctively sensed danger from the sexy beauty who had suddenly appeared in front of her. She grabbed Li Yang's arm and asked nervously.
"Her? My cousin." Li Yang glanced at Song Tian'er and snorted. He was still angry with her.
Song Tian'er's red lips parted slightly, clearly surprised. When did she become his cousin? Well, kid, you even dare to make up stories about me to pick up girls.
"What cousin am I to you? Tell her!" Song Tian'er stared at Li Yang with a smile instead of anger, her gaze as sharp as a knife.
Li Yang suddenly felt a little nervous. Damn it, this is something no human would do. He hasn't even gotten involved with either of them yet, and he's already like this. He can't imagine what kind of miserable life he would have to endure if he did get involved in both.
"Hey cousin, are you hungry? I'm starving! Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!" Li Yang suddenly laughed, and had no choice but to use the distraction tactic. Damn, if this keeps up, someone's going to die.
Damn it, do I even like Zhao Lihua? Do I even like Song Tian'er? Why am I so concerned about their feelings? Sigh, it's all my fault for being too chivalrous. But who's going to be chivalrous about me?
"I don't have time for that, I have something to do, I'll be going now." Song Tian'er was going to a dance party in the afternoon, and if she didn't go now, she would probably have to stand someone up, which wouldn't be good for her status.
"Is she really your cousin?" Song Tian'er left with her people, leaving only Li Yang and Zhao Lihua behind. The badly injured Gao Yan was also dragged away by them.
Zhao Lihua began to make trouble.
"Yes, she's my cousin. What's the problem?" Li Yangyan said insincerely, a statement he himself didn't quite believe.
But Zhao Lihua believed her. She nodded, glanced at Li Yang with a deep look, and said softly, "So what do we do next?"
What am I going to do? Of course I'm going home. It's already afternoon. If I don't go home soon, I'll probably get a beating when I get there.
"You should hurry home. It's only once a week, and your parents must really want to get together with you, have a meal together or something," Li Yang kindly reminded Zhao Lihua.
"But... okay, thank you so much for today, I'll remember it." Zhao Lihua finally accepted Li Yang's suggestion and said earnestly.
Li Yang knew that after this incident, it would be even harder to get rid of Zhao Lihua; the girl's eyes were practically reaching out to him.
"Alright, I need to head back now. Goodbye." Li Yang waved goodbye to Zhao Lihua. He had to go back; he had promised Zhao Ran that they would have dinner together that night. It was only once a week, and if he didn't spend time with her, she would definitely get angry with him.
Li Yang quickly returned home, and sure enough, his parents were waiting for him to come back for dinner. Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for a month, or perhaps it was because Li Yang's grades had improved, but his parents were unusually easy to talk to. They didn't ask why he was late, nor did they notice anything amiss, and just told him to wash his hands and eat quickly.
On his way back, he tidied up his clothes carefully, removing all the dust and grime. There were some bruises on the back of his neck, but they wouldn't disappear for a while, and his parents wouldn't see them, so it wasn't a big deal.
Chapter 73: Little Beauty
After lunch, the afternoon was relatively free. Li Yang was overjoyed to finally have some time to relax. However, he refrained from buying a computer because he was afraid his parents would suspect where his money came from.
