"So, are you still going to act like a hooligan?" Li Yang didn't let go immediately, but instead made a condition. He wanted to avoid her causing trouble again if he let go.
Guan Ling was furious. Not only had she been tricked by Li Yang, but he had also made her look so pathetic. She was incredibly embarrassed and annoyed that the dignified Miss Guan had been made to look so bad. Guan Ling twisted her leg between Li Yang's legs and said angrily, "Will you let go or not!"
"Are you going to keep playing around or not?" Li Yang wouldn't let go.
"How can a grown man like you make things difficult for a girl like this? Aren't you ashamed!" Guan Ling shouted, feeling both embarrassed and angry, and began to struggle again.
"Fine, fine, I won't argue with you! I'm letting you go." Li Yang released Guan Ling and stopped holding her.
"Li Yang, you're not a man!" Guan Ling, now free, almost slapped Li Yang immediately, but she held back. She remembered Li Yang's impressive fighting skills and realized he seemed to be a formidable opponent. Fighting him would only be asking for trouble and humiliation. Therefore, she decided to stop attacking Li Yang's strengths with her own weaknesses.
"You know I'm not a man? How did you know?" Just arguing, huh? Li Yang has never been afraid of anyone. When it comes to fighting, he's never backed down in decades. Bring it on!
Guan Ling was speechless again. She sadly realized that she was no match for Li Yang in an argument. They say that shamelessness makes one invincible, and she had certainly seen it for herself.
"You're shameless!" Guan Ling said angrily. Then she pushed through the crowd and strode away.
"Damn it, you're talking to me like that. You said I'm not a man in front of so many people. What's wrong with me asking you a question? What's wrong with me asking you for some evidence?" Li Yang chased after him and said.
"I'm sober now, I don't want you to compensate me anymore, you can leave!" Guan Ling said to Li Yang, turning her head to wave him away.
"You think I'll just leave because you tell me to?" Of course, Li Yang wouldn't obediently leave; that wasn't his style.
"What else do you want!" Guan Ling stopped and stared at Li Yang.
"You're trying to rape my will!" Li Yang stopped and stared at Guan Ling, asking in return.
"You scoundrel!" Guan Ling swung her fist at Li Yang, this time she couldn't help but get angry again.
Li Yang's skills were incredibly sharp; he easily dodged her punch with a sidestep. However, Guan Ling was furious and her movements became much more aggressive and forceful. She missed her target and her body tilted forward as she lunged.
"Hey, watch out!" Li Yang exclaimed, stepped forward, swung his arm and caught her, then pulled her into his arms.
Hmm... I felt a heavy weight on my arm, followed by a heavy pressure on my chest!
"I don't want your fake kindness!" Although Guan Ling had been taken advantage of, she was secretly at a disadvantage and was too embarrassed to say it out loud. She knew that the more she got entangled with Li Yang, the more she would suffer.
So she pushed Li Yang away, turned around, and left. No more words were exchanged.
"You're just going to leave like this? You've used me and then abandoned me!" Li Yang shouted at Guan Ling.
"Li Yang, don't be so shameless!" Guan Ling screamed, covering her ears as she turned around.
"I was just kidding! Look how excited you are, so immature. Now that you're sober, I'll be going!" Li Yang waved his hand as if to say goodbye.
Guan Ling was stunned for a moment. Was everything just a joke? This guy is such a good actor!
"Were you just joking?" Guan Ling asked suspiciously.
"What do you think? No one is that indecent. I'm a respectable person!" Li Yang said seriously.
Guan Ling wasn't actually angry. It was just that a woman had to act angry because a man was teasing her. Otherwise, the man would definitely think she was indecent and promiscuous.
But when Li Yang said he was just joking, Guan Ling felt there was no need to overreact, otherwise it would seem childish and immature. Besides, she didn't really want to leave.
Although she was a bit arrogant, she was still a girl in her twenties who had never been in love. Every girl has all sorts of rosy dreams, fantasizing about her prince charming coming to her on a rainbow. Being picked up and dropped off by a boy is a very prestigious thing.
Especially a man like Li Yang, who is capable, charismatic, and handsome, can greatly satisfy one's vanity.
"Shh... I won't hold it against you, but remember, don't make such inappropriate jokes again. Girls are very shy!" Guan Ling instructed Li Yang.
"Oh, are you shy too?" Li Yang said, looking at Guan Ling with amusement.
"Mind your own business!" Guan Ling said irritably, then turned and continued walking.
"Are you really alright?" Li Yang caught up and asked to confirm.
"It's alright!" Guan Ling said without turning her head.
"So, does that mean I can retire gracefully and stop being a vigilante?" Li Yang asked.
"Yes, you can get lost!" Guan Ling said defiantly. She didn't even realize that her lips were pursed so much they could tie a donkey down, and her face was also very sour.
"Then I'm leaving!" Li Yang said, standing still.
"Go away, go as far away as you can, and never see me again!" Guan Ling said angrily, her steps quickening.
“Yes. Is that so? Fine! I’ll grant your wish!” Li Yang stopped in his tracks after saying that.
Guan Ling stormed off, muttering under her breath as she walked: "That damn Li Yang, that stinky Li Yang, he doesn't know anything... He's so shameless, he doesn't even know how to be considerate of others. She's clearly a girl, he has no manners at all. Go away, go away, I'll never see you again..."
"Am I so resentful of you, like a lonely, resentful woman in her boudoir?" Li Yang suddenly appeared beside Guan Ling and said in surprise.
"Ah—you ghost! You scared me to death!" Guan Ling was terrified, but secretly she was overjoyed; her bright eyes betrayed her true feelings. She lightly punched Li Yang's shoulder a few times, the force almost like a massage.
"I never scare people. I only do people!" Li Yang said with a lewd smile.
"If you keep being a scoundrel, I'm not talking to you anymore!" Guan Ling said shyly.
"What do you mean? I just like fighting. Fighting is called 'fighting people'! How am I a hooligan?" Li Yang said innocently and aggrievedly.
Guan Ling asked with a hint of disbelief, "Really?"
"Of course. Why would I lie to you? What would I gain?" Li Yang said.
"But my legs are tired, I can't walk anymore!" Guan Ling suddenly said weakly, looking up at Li Yang with cautious anticipation in her eyes.
"Can't walk anymore? Really? How can you be a policeman with physical condition like that?" Instead of squatting down and offering to carry her as she expected, Li Yang was putting her down, making Guan Ling feel very wronged.
