"Zhao, of course I don't want to get back together with him. It's just that my ex-boyfriend has a bit of a violent and rebellious temperament, I'm afraid..."

Xin hesitated, her words carrying a hint of fear.

"Oh, no problem, I understand."

"You should stay at the clinic tonight. If your boyfriend comes tomorrow and can talk things over calmly, then it's fine to part peacefully. If he tries anything, I'll handle him."

Zhao Tienan patted his chest and said confidently.

He's seen plenty of people with violent and rebellious personalities.

But in Fengshan Village, no outsider has ever managed to act tough.

Though the village is poor, the people are notoriously fierce.

No matter what kind of conflicts the villagers have among themselves, they always put aside grudges when it comes to outside threats.

It's not just a young punk; even a group of fierce, tough outsiders would be overwhelmed by the villagers' anger.

Zhao Tienan didn't care who the ex-boyfriend was or how capable he might be; as long as Xin didn't want to do something, no one could force her.

"Well, okay..."

Xin thought it over and finally agreed slowly.

In truth, she was always very frightened inside.

After breaking up for so long, Xin was just starting to heal and had finally freed herself from suicidal thoughts.

But now her ex wants to get back together, which clearly means Xin would suffer all over again.

Such a trashy scumbag truly deserves contempt.

That night, Xin arrived at the clinic with a heavy heart, her face filled with anxiety, looking quite worn out.

"Xin, you finally came."

"See, Zhao heard you were coming and specially cooked a whole table full of dishes for you. I've always thought he was a bit partial, only focused on pleasing you!"

Cao Lei wrapped her arm around Xin's, joking lightheartedly.

"Zhao, thank you..."

Xin forced out a small smile and said slowly.

She knew well that Zhao was being considerate to comfort her.

Big warm-hearted guys like Zhao Tienan are quite rare these days, at least a hundred times better than her ex.

"Don't mention it, when you're feeling down, you should drink a bit more."

"Tonight, we'll drink to the last drop. Leave tomorrow's issues to me; I'll make sure you're satisfied."

Zhao Tienan brought out a big box of beer, speaking generously.

"Yeah, Xin, best to drink straight through to tomorrow afternoon. By the time you wake up, Zhao will definitely have sorted everything out."

Cao Lei hugged Xin's slender waist, kindly encouraging her, then leaned in close, whispering something in her ear.

Xin's pretty face instantly flushed, her eyes alluringly sparkling, looking particularly tempting.

"Come on, cheers!"

Zhao Tienan poured the beverage and immediately started on a drink.

That night, the three of them drank until past eleven, with Cao Lei still as lively as ever, getting even more spirited the more she drank.

But under the girls' repeated coaxing, Zhao Tienan soon found himself completely drunk.

"You two little girls, you must be scheming something tonight."

"Come on, tell me, what's your plan getting me to drink so much?"

Zhao Tienan, like a drunk cat, lay on the table, smiling as he asked.
