"That's right!" Both nodded and didn't forget to warn, "You better watch your mouth, kid!"

"I'm just saying, your Xiong is really disgusting, isn't he a bit too old to be trying to snatch up the young ones?" Lin Tian couldn't help but laugh.

With Mei Ruyan's fiery temper, even if he did manage to get her, it'd probably be the end of Xiong.

Of course, how could Mei Ruyan ever be caught by him?

"That's none of your business. You just need to stay away from Mei Ruyan!"

"What if I don't?" Now that Lin Tian understood what was going on, he didn't need to pretend anymore.

"You won't?"

"Today, you're gonna feel what a fist to the face is like!"

Without another word, the two young men swung their fists towards Lin Tian.

"Wait!" Lin Tian waved his hand to stop them, "I have one more question, can I ask it before we fight?"

"Are you even a man? You drag even when fighting!" The two couldn't stand Lin Tian's procrastination.

"Is this Xiong of yours any good?" Lin Tian asked.

"Our Xiong is tall and long-armed; when he fights, he hits others, they can't hit him!" The young men spoke with a sense of pride, as if Da Xiong were their own father.

"Oh! I get it!" Having figured out his opponent, Lin Tian motioned to them, "Come on then!"

For some reason, the young men suddenly didn't feel like fighting, Lin Tian clearly wasn't afraid of them, he even seemed to be having fun.

"What are you staring at? Got a dragon tattooed on you but chickening out?" Lin Tian goaded when they didn't move.

"If you wanna die, don't blame us!" The two swung their fists at him again.

Lin Tian snorted coldly, to deal with such small-time punks you have to hit them hard, let them feel the pain and they'll learn to behave next time!

Luckily, Xiong was just their idol. If he were really their father, they'd be strutting around like kings!

In one go, Lin Tian landed a punch on one's face, then kicked the other's stomach.

Despite their menacing dragon and tiger tattoos, looking like tough guys!

Who would've thought their bodies were so frail, clearly indulgence in excesses had taken its toll.

One got knocked into the corner, the other was kicked right into a bathroom stall, right into a messed-up situation.

"So damn stinky!" Lin Tian waved his hand before his nose, dry-heaving a couple of times.

Watching the dragon-tattooed guy stand up slowly after a punch, Lin Tian hands in pockets, asked: "What? Still wanna fight?"

The guy, fear written on his face, reached for the stall door, but Lin Tian quickly smacked his hand away.

"Ever since I came into the bar, you've been all sassy, haven't you?" Lin Tian gave a slap.

"Think you're hot stuff 'cause you got a dragon on your arm?" Another slap.

"Think you're invincible 'cause you have a big bro covering you?" Two slaps.

"Think you're on top of the world with that big gold chain, huh?" Three slaps.

"You're just a bar waiter, acting all high and mighty!" He delivered a fourth slap.

With four solid slaps, the young man stood in place, dumbfounded.

Stars dancing before his eyes, the room spinning, he plopped onto the ground.

"I hate people like you who think a dragon tattoo or tiger drawing makes you unbeatable!" Lin Tian snorted and opened the bathroom door.

"To be invincible is so lonely, to be invincible is so empty~!"

Humming a little tune, swaying, Lin Tian walked out of the bathroom, "Nice song~ Suits me well!"

As soon as he left, he ran into Mei Ruyan: "What took you so long in the bathroom?"

"Ran into some trouble?" Lin Tian was at a loss on how to explain.

What, tell her two guys were competing over size and couldn't settle, so they fought?

"Did you run into some girl who got too handsy with you?" Maybe due to the alcohol, at this moment Mei Ruyan seemed less aloof.

"You think too much, being this handsome, it'd be a bunch of girls!" Lin Tian replied playfully, raising a brow at Mei Ruyan.

"When it comes to shamelessness, I bow to you!" Mei Ruyan gave a thumbs up, his mouth was as dirty as ever.

They returned to their seats and continued drinking. Whether it was the bar's atmosphere or the music, Lin Tian's drinking had long surpassed his limit.

It was already the third bottle, though they were only 330ml each.

"Can't take it anymore, another drink and I'll puke!" Lin Tian felt like his stomach was about to burst.

"Can't handle it?" Mei Ruyan dismissed Lin Tian's words, opened two more beers.

"Oh my god~!" Lin Tian sighed helplessly, "Alright, keep going!"

Might as well have a blast tonight, since he was already drinking.

"Cheers~!" All the unpleasantness that had weighed on Lin Tian's heart since his hospital encounter dissipated with the beer.

Alcohol really is a wonderful thing, helping people momentarily forget their troubles.

"Ruyan!" Just as they were getting into it, Da Xiong approached with six people.

"What's this about, Da Xiong?" Mei Ruyan shot a glance at those standing in front of her, her brow furrowing.

"Ruyan, shouldn't you give me an explanation!"

"Explanation for what?" Mei Ruyan was utterly confused, having no idea what was going on.

Lin Tian saw the tattooed young men behind Da Xiong, even if he didn't recognize their faces, those gold chains and dragon tattoos were familiar enough.

Must've gotten beaten and had to call their big bro for backup.

"Your pal beat up my guys, shouldn't I get an explanation?" Da Xiong sat down, fiddling with an empty beer bottle, clearly itching for a fight.

"You hit them?" Mei Ruyan turned to Lin Tian.

"Yeah, I did!" Lin Tian nodded, "I was just going to the bathroom, but your two lackeys blocked me, told me to stay away from Mei because Xiong wanted to get Mei into bed!"

"What?" Mei Ruyan's eyes turned icy as she looked at Da Xiong.

"Who's talking nonsense like that?" Da Xiong's face changed, getting exposed like that in front of Mei Ruyan was beyond embarrassing.

"It was him!"

"I even thought, with how refined Xiong is, how could he say something so vulgar?"

"And guess what your employees said next?"

"They claimed Xiong had the ropes ready for some bondage? Seriously, he could write urban novels instead of bartending!" Lin Tian exaggeratedly spun the tale.

"I didn't..." The dragon-tattooed young man hurried to explain.

"Smack!" Da Xiong stood up and slapped him across the face, silencing him immediately.

"Xiong, what do you say, should someone like that get beaten?" Lin Tian asked cheekily.

"Definitely should be beaten! Beaten to death even!" Da Xiong now was in a tough spot, unable to admit his intentions in front of Mei Ruyan.
