"Brother Chu, how about we find another place to eat?"
Listening to that woman yammering on and on, Wang Tiezhu really couldn't eat anymore. He put down his chopsticks, suppressing his inner irritation, and looked at Chu Ge as he spoke.
"No need, we're eating just fine, so why change places?"
"But..."
"No buts, someone will be shutting up soon."
Chu Ge said lazily, finishing off a skewer of ribs, stretching his arms, and standing up from the table. He directed his gaze at the increasingly smug girl who was endlessly speaking English.
Seeing Chu Ge standing up, Wang Tiezhu and the other four security guards promptly stood up as well.
The smile on the crew-cut guy's face froze, and he suddenly felt a bit intimidated.
On the opposite side were five visibly sturdy men; if a fight broke out, he would definitely be knocked out instantly!
"Brother Chu, don't be impulsive. We're out to enjoy a meal, so what are you up to?"
Chu Shiyao tugged on Chu Ge's arm. Although she felt the people at the other table were too much, she didn't want Chu Ge to cause any trouble, especially after just getting out of the hospital, and feared he would end up at the police station.
Chu Ge laughed, "Yaoyao, do I seem excited to you? Tiezhu, Dakui, you all sit down. I'll be back in a moment."
Wang Tiezhu and the four security guards hesitated but sat back down since Chu Ge said so.
Extracting his arm from Chu Shiyao's hold, Chu Ge walked over to the table with the men and women.
Even though the crew-cut guy felt quite apprehensive and anxious, he was out with his girlfriend and didn't want to lose face in front of her, so he braced himself and stood up.
Facing Chu Ge, with his peripheral vision on the metal skewer on the table, the crew-cut guy pretended to be tough, "Hey man, what's the deal? Is there a problem?"
Ignoring the crew-cut guy, Chu Ge wore his signature smile and looked at the girl who had been speaking English, speaking with a very sarcastic tone.
As soon as Chu Ge finished speaking, the girl and her boyfriend were stunned.
Not only them, but also Chu Shiyao, Wang Tiezhu, and the others, as well as everyone eating at the food stall who were waiting to see the drama unfold, were all taken aback.
Because, when Chu Ge opened his mouth, it was in very fluent English, in a perfectly standard London accent, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed, becoming calm and poised, like a refined gentleman of society.
After saying one sentence, Chu Ge continued seamlessly, switching to American English, then Malaysian English, Singaporean English, New Zealand English, and Australian English.
After switching through several accents, Chu Ge looked at the completely dumbfounded crew-cut guy, shook his head sympathetically, and said in Chinese, "Young man, I noticed you were just grinning like an idiot. You didn't understand a word of what your girlfriend said, did you? It's a wonder you can still laugh so happily. If you understood, I guarantee you wouldn't be able to laugh."
"What...what did she say? What do you mean by that?"
Just moments ago, the crew-cut guy felt something was off. Hearing Chu Ge's words now, he frowned and subconsciously asked.
Chu Ge gave the crew-cut guy a pitiful look, patting his shoulder with the same hand that had grabbed a bunch of skewers.
"She said you're nothing but an ATM to her, and she's with you because you're kind of generous to her. With her looks and body, there's no way she could actually be interested in you. She likes foreigners, like that big-nosed foreign teacher of hers. They're having a great time together."
"Pfft!"
Hearing Chu Ge's calm voice, many of the people drinking sprayed out their drink, and the crew-cut guy's pupils shrank dramatically, his face paling as he looked at his girlfriend in disbelief.
"You… you're talking nonsense!"
The crew-cut guy's face turned as green as his top of the head, while the girl's face beside him turned stark white.
"Oh? Now you remember to speak Chinese? When you were mocking us with your idiot boyfriend just now, why didn't you speak then?"
Chu Ge's face grew more mischievous, his smirk widening.
"You should be more clear than I am on whether I'm talking nonsense, right? If I remember correctly, didn't you just say last Wednesday at ten PM, you and your foreign teacher went to the wooded area, and a bug bit your inner left thigh in the bushes?"
"And then yesterday evening you told this gullible guy it was a mosquito bite you got while sleeping, and he actually believed you and rubbed it for a long time, and you almost couldn't hold in your laughter, huh, isn't that what you said?"
Having said his piece, Chu Ge patted the crew-cut guy's shoulder again, casually wiping the grease from his hand on the guy's Adidas T-shirt, and earnestly said, "Buddy, learning a foreign language really is important!"
If the crew-cut guy hadn't believed Chu Ge before, at this moment he did, completely and utterly, his face twitching fiercely, eyes fixed closely on the girl beside him. With a slap on the table, he bolted upright.
"No… you… let me explain..."
"Explain your ass, go explain to that foreign guy!"
"Smack!" A fierce slap landed, and the caliper man turned around and left with a darkened face.
His girlfriend, who had put a green hat on him, couldn't stay any longer either. With a pale face and full of regret, she hurriedly chased after the caliper man under the contemptuous and mocking gazes of others.
Watching the two of them, one storming off in anger and the other staggering behind, Chu Ge curled his lips. Finally, he could have a quiet meal.
"Well done! That chick was just yapping, ruining my drinking mood! Kid, you handled it beautifully!"
"Bro, awesome!"
As Chu Ge turned around, a wave of cheers erupted around him.
The diners were usually straightforward and bold men, and witnessing this scene made them feel quite refreshed. The looks they gave Chu Ge were filled with admiration and goodwill, with many even giving him a thumbs-up.
Smiling at them, Chu Ge returned to his table, "Alright, the buzzing fly is gone, let's continue eating."
"Brother Chu, you actually speak English? What were you saying to that girl?"
Just moments ago, Chu Shiyao felt a bit shy hearing Chu Ge's words, but as soon as Chu Ge sat next to her, her embarrassment quickly turned into admiration and curiosity, eagerly asking.
"Haha, nothing good anyway, come on, let's continue drinking."
Seeing that Chu Ge didn't want to elaborate, Chu Shiyao and Wang Tiezhu didn't press further, quickly forgetting their previous displeasure and continued eating while chatting and laughing.
After this incident, Chu Shiyao, already curious about Chu Ge, became even more intrigued by him.
Unfortunately, even though she tried to get the five men at the table drunk, the four security guards including Wang Tiezhu were tight-lipped. Even when they got somewhat tipsy, no matter how she hinted, none of them revealed how exactly Chu Ge had helped them before.
As for Chu Ge, he could hold his liquor better than Wang Tiezhu and the others, so she had no hope of getting anything out of him.
After the meal, when Wang Tiezhu and the other security guards wanted to settle the bill, the owner of the food stall refused to take any money.
The owner, with a face full of admiration, said he also thoroughly enjoyed the spectacle and offered the meal on the house as a gesture of friendship. He also mentioned that as long as Chu Ge and his friends came to support him in the future, he would give them a 20% discount.
After leaving the food stall, Wang Tiezhu and the other security guards first helped Chu Ge get a taxi and insisted on paying for it, letting Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao leave first.
This time, Chu Ge didn't stand on ceremony with them. After all, since he'd saved them the meal money, if he didn't let them pay for the taxi fare, they'd feel even more obliged.
"Yaoyao, thank you for today." In the taxi, Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao sat side by side in the back seat, genuinely expressing his gratitude.
"Thank me for what? I'm the one mooching a meal off you; I should be thanking you."
"You love cleanliness so much, and you still came with me to eat at such a place and helped me save face; I had to say thank you."
"Oh, Brother Chu, you're too polite. It's not a big deal. Besides, Tiezhu and the others are really nice. I actually really enjoyed the meal."
Chu Shiyao, with a slightly flushed face, stuck out her tongue.
Chu Ge didn't say much more, just smiled gratefully. In the dim light of the taxi, looking at Chu Shiyao's rosy, candidly smiling young face, he truly felt it was extraordinarily beautiful.
Meanwhile, Wang Tiezhu and the other four security guards didn't take a taxi but leisurely strolled toward the dormitory the company provided for them, under the streetlights, feeling great.
"Tiezhu, why do I feel like I'm dreaming? Did we really just have dinner with Brother Chu and that gorgeous Chu sister?"
Li Dakui, swaying a bit as he walked, smacked his lips, slinging an arm over his peer Wang Tiezhu's shoulder, dumbly smiling as he spoke.
"Haha... I also feel like it was a dream, but we really did have dinner with them." Wang Tiezhu scratched his head, grinning.
"Hey, Tiezhu, they both have the last name Chu, but they don't look like siblings at all. What do you think their relationship is?"
In front of them walked an older security guard they called "Brother Wang." Hearing the chatter behind him, he quickly turned around and glared at them.
"You two brats, don't speculate about things that don't concern you. Whatever their relationship is, it's none of our business. Remember, keep your mouths shut, and don't tell anyone about tonight's dinner."
Seeing Brother Wang's serious manner, Wang Tiezhu and Li Dakui were momentarily stunned.
"Brother Wang, are you saying... they have that kind of relationship?"
"Most likely."
With that, the four security guards stopped in their tracks and nodded at each other, their eyes filled with indescribable admiration and envy.
Meanwhile, the taxi carrying Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao drove into Yipin Spring City District, stopping in front of an apartment building.
