Ye Xiao was suddenly tapped on the shoulder from behind and immediately turned around with a puzzled expression. The man behind him was slightly overweight, with a look of affluence. Ye Xiao smiled genially and said, "Hey, brother, what's up?"
Seeing Ye Xiao acting as if nothing had happened, the man who had been hit swiftly approached and said, "Kid, you still dare to ask what's up? Mr. Zhu, it was this guy who hit me!"
Ye Xiao saw that it was the person he had just fought and gave a slight smile, saying, "Oh, it's you, Mr. Martial Arts Instructor. What a coincidence to bump into you here again!"
"A coincidence, my ass. Let me tell you, even if you hadn't come, our Mr. Zhu would have found you and beaten you till your skin split open. Don't think you can take advantage just like that!"
Ye Xiao immediately forced a bitter smile, saying, "So, what do you want to do? This is a public place, you wouldn't dare to hit me here, would you?"
"Do you know who I am?" Zhu Xiaoren said coldly to Ye Xiao!
At this moment, with the ladies in front of him, he really wanted to show off his prowess, thinking being a hero might make the ladies fall for him one by one!
"You?" Ye Xiao looked at Zhu Xiaoren, then turned to Zhou Yuyan and the other ladies, asking inquiringly, "You said it wasn't him just now, did you?"
The ladies all nodded vigorously, clearly providing Ye Xiao with an answer through their actions!
"I know who you are now!" Ye Xiao said with a look of sudden realization.
"Speak!" Zhu Xiaoren commanded!
"Pig!" Ye Xiao said earnestly!
How could Zhu Xiaoren know that Ye Xiao meant the word "pig" and not his surname "Zhu"? Zhu Xiaoren still confused, said, "Who has a one-word name? Don't you know who I am?"
"I did say it! Didn't you hear me clearly?" Ye Xiao looked confused.
Zhu Xiaoren replied, "How could I have not heard clearly? My name is three words, Zhu is just my surname!"
"Mr. Zhu, this guy is calling you a pig!" the subordinate next to him kindly reminded.
Upon hearing his subordinate, Zhu Xiaoren finally understood what Ye Xiao meant and became instantly furious, shouting loudly, "You dare to insult me? I'll slaughter you!"
Zhu Xiaoren immediately swung his fist toward Ye Xiao, but Ye Xiao, being skilled, couldn't possibly be hit so easily, let alone by a "pig."
Ye Xiao grabbed Zhu Xiaoren's incoming fist, vibrated his arm, and immediately made Zhu Xiaoren stagger backwards. He smiled and said to Zhu Xiaoren, "Brother Pig, this is a public space. Fighting here is absolutely inappropriate!"
Zhu Xiaoren staggered backwards in surprise, and his subordinates quickly steadied him.
"You dare push our Mr. Zhu? I think you don't want to live!" the subordinate immediately yelled at Ye Xiao.
Due to Zhu Xiaoren's subordinate shouting loudly, many curious people came over, but Zhu Xiaoren scolded them away.
Zhu Xiaoren pushed the subordinate aside, looked at Ye Xiao, and said, "Fine, kid, you've got some skills, but today, I'm going to make you pay a heavy price for that!"
After speaking, Zhu Xiaoren immediately took out his phone and made a call, only saying two words into it: "Come down."
Ye Xiao completely ignored Zhu Xiaoren and went straight to the seat Zhu Xiaoren had been sitting at before, smiling cheekily.
"Don't be too smug. They've called for backup, don't embarrass yourself later!" Ling Shuya glanced at Ye Xiao and said coolly.
Ye Xiao's smile on his face grew thicker and said, "How about making a bet?"
"What bet?" Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao said, "Bet that we can eat for free here today!"
"Eat for free?" Ling Shuya immediately looked at Ye Xiao, puzzled, saying, "Do you think this restaurant is owned by that pig?"
Ye Xiao stated, "Absolutely not. If it were his, he wouldn't be causing trouble in his own restaurant unless he really had a pig's brain!"
"Since it's not his, on what basis can you eat for free?" Ling Shuya was skeptical.
Ye Xiao replied, "You just leave that to me. I have my ways. Plus, today we're only eating the good stuff, none of that simple tofu with green onion!"
Ling Shuya said, "Alright, I'll take the bet, but let's make it clear, no threatening the owner, otherwise it doesn't count."
"Am I that kind of person?" Ye Xiao said, "Since we're betting, dare you wager something?"
"If we really can eat for free, I'll give you all the money we would have spent on today's meal!" Ling Shuya said earnestly.
Ye Xiao immediately shook his head and said, "Look, I might be someone with a salary in the tens of thousands, plus an annual bonus, a bona fide white-collar member of high-society. Do you think I would care about that little sum of money? No way!"
"So what do you want?" Ling Shuya looked at Ye Xiao.
Although Ling Shuya knew Ye Xiao wasn't exactly a decent fellow, she equally understood that one must not lose face when losing a game. Since she had decided to gamble, she had to see it through to the end!
When Ye Xiao heard Ling Shuya's words, he immediately looked at her with a grin and said, "Okay, let's keep it simple. If I win, I only want you to do two things for me!"
"No way!" Ling Shuya instantly thought that Ye Xiao must be up to no good, especially since it involved two tasks, which would undoubtedly be difficult!
Ye Xiao forced a smile and said, "I haven't even said them yet, why not?"
"Just no, I'm sure you wouldn't propose anything good!" Ling Shuya was very certain as she spoke to Ye Xiao!
Ye Xiao shrugged and said, "Alright, if you don't have the guts to gamble, then forget it. After all, for a little woman like you, what courage could you possibly have!"
"Are you underestimating me? Humph, go ahead, I want to see what you could possibly suggest that would be so 'great'!" Ling Shuya was angry. She could be looked down upon by anyone, but not by a scoundrel like Ye Xiao.
"Ye Xiao, what are you up to? Haven't I told you already? Shuya is a girl…" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao and immediately spoke.
Ling Shuya quickly said, "Sister Su, let him speak. I just want to see what this scoundrel can come up with!"
Ye Xiao looked at Su Yun and said, "See? I didn't want to say it. She insisted!"
"If you're not going to say it, I'm going to order some food!" Ling Shuya was tired of waiting.
Ye Xiao hurriedly said, "I'll say it, of course, I'll say it. Listen carefully, everyone is my witness. The first thing? It's actually the simplest. Just…"
Ye Xiao stopped there, not saying it right away. He smiled as he looked at Ling Shuya and all the other girls present. Even though Ling Shuya tried to remain calm, there was still some nervousness in her eyes.
Ye Xiao chuckled and continued, "Smile!"
"What?" Ling Shuya looked puzzled at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao said, "Smile, that's all. If I win, you have to smile at me, and for at least one whole day, keep a smiling face around me. No cold expressions."
Ling Shuya never expected Ye Xiao to propose such a simple gamble. Not only was she surprised, but the other girls were as well, because they didn't think Ye Xiao would ask for something so uncomplicated!
"Just smile?" Ling Shuya couldn't believe it as she looked at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Yes, just a smile. Do you find that too hard too?"
Ling Shuya thought to herself that if the first task was this easy, the second one must be very, very tough. She braced herself and looked at Ye Xiao, "Now tell me the second thing!"
"The second thing is a bit harder," Ye Xiao said earnestly!
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Ling Shuya thought to herself, as expected, and immediately said, "Go ahead, I know your nature. If it's something outrageous, I won't agree!"
Ye Xiao smiled and then said, "This second task, although tougher, is not too difficult once you start doing it. Listen up, it's to praise me!"
"What?" Ling Shuya looked astonished at Ye Xiao again, not understanding the meaning of his request.
Ye Xiao repeated, "Praise me! Praise me for ten minutes without repeating any words, emphasizing qualities like 'sense of justice' and 'good-hearted'!"
"Ye Xiao, you are shameless!" Ling Shuya exclaimed angrily upon hearing his words!
Ye Xiao immediately said, "That's not praise, you know. Be careful with your words."
Ling Shuya glared at Ye Xiao, but both conditions weren't difficult. These were obviously Ye Xiao's ways of teasing her, yet she couldn't quite call him out on it.
Ye Xiao smiled at Ling Shuya and said, "How about it? Both conditions are pretty simple, right? If you agree, we'll settle it this way!"
"Fine, but what if you lose?" Ling Shuya asked Ye Xiao!
Ye Xiao replied, "I'm at your mercy, even if I have to commit myself to you. I absolutely will not refuse!"
"Fine, you'd better remember what you've promised. It'll be embarrassing if you back out later!" Ling Shuya coldly told Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao smiled and was about to speak when he heard Zhu Xiaoren's voice coming from behind!
"Teach that blind fool a lesson!" Zhu Xiaoren looked at Ye Xiao and spoke to a young man with a resolute face next to him!
The man glanced at Ye Xiao who was chatting and laughing with the ladies, nodded, and then strode towards Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao's perception was extremely strong, so when that man approached him, a fierce aura rushed at him too!
Ye Xiao slowly stood up, turned around, and faced the approaching man who was about 1.80 meters tall, well-built, and had a chiseled, angular face!
