Bo Li didn’t want to talk to Xu Ke anymore; instead, he spat twice into his palm and then swung a punch at Xu Ke’s face. That face really made him angry just looking at it, and he wanted to destroy it, Bo Li thought.
But his fist t another fist just before it reached Xu Ke’s face, and the sound of bones and flesh colliding made one’s teeth chatter.
The muscles on Bo Li’s face couldn’t help but twitch, and he could faintly hear his teeth making a clattering sound.
"Still holding back?" Xu Ke withdrew his fist, slipped his hand back into his pocket, and looked at Bo Li with a half-smile.
Under Xu Ke’s gaze, Bo Li clenched his teeth and tried to hold it in again, but in the end, he couldn’t endure and let out a scream. Bo Li’s sudden and loud voice startled passersby around them, who instinctively stopped to watch.
Under everyone’s gaze, Bo Li bent over, and the hand that had just collided with Xu Ke’s was uncontrollably trembling, like an elderly person with Parkinson’s, unable to control his body’s natural response. The place where they collided turned red and swollen in a re ten seconds, and Bo Li’s already large hand now looked even broader.
"What did you do to Bo Li?" Izy ca to Bo Li’s side and raised his hand to grab Bo Li’s palm, but as soon as he touched it, Bo Li let out a cry of pain. This pained Bo Li made Izy’s eyes turn red, and he instinctively turned to question Xu Ke.
"Exactly what you saw, or did you not see clearly? Do you need to demonstrate again?" Xu Ke raised an eyebrow, the previous noble aloofness completely vanished, and an evil akin to Ariel’s erged on him.
Seeing Xu Ke’s expression, Izy’s heart raced, but Izy knew this sudden emotion wasn’t fear.
Izy bowed his head to hide the panic in his eyes, even unconsciously biting his lips.
Bo Li didn’t understand what was on Izy’s mind; when he saw Izy suddenly bow his head and twiddle his index fingers together, he thought Izy was scared.
Bo Li, with his injured hand, looked at Xu Ke with eyes filled with hatred yet a hint of fear, saying, "Stop scaring people here. You’re a grown man intimidating a woman. Aren’t you ashad?"
"You guys ganged up on a little girl and feel no sha, yet I haven’t done anything, so why should I? Honestly, if you have ti to be out playing, you should go ho and learn what integrity and sha an, or else you’ll be a disgrace. Oh right, I forgot to tell you, your bone is fractured. If I were you, I’d go to the hospital imdiately. Otherwise, you might end up with a deford hand, and when that happens, don’t bla for not warning you." Xu Ke’s gaze settled on Bo Li’s swollen hand, and he spoke in a nonchalant tone.
"Is it that serious? We should get Bo Li to the hospital quickly." Craig showed a shocked expression and then looked at Bo Li’s hand with concern, urging his companions to take him to the hospital.
Realizing their companion had suffered such a severe injury, the group lost any interest in continuing to play and, with Bo Li in the middle, made their way toward the exit.
"Oh yes, we won! The evil dragon defeated, the knight protected the princess." Ariel’s face lit up with a joyous smile, bouncing around Xu Ke like a little sparrow, utterly delighted.
"Aren’t you playing gas anymore?" Facing Ariel, Xu Ke’s face reverted to its original icy deanor.
"Playing, Yaoyao, let’s go do the carousel." Hearing Xu Ke’s words, Ariel imdiately stopped, reached out to grab Lin ngyao’s hand, and spoke in a light, lively tone.
Just as the three were about to leave, Craig, who had just left, reappeared in front of them. "I apologize on behalf of my friends. They didn’t intend to cause you trouble; they just have a bit of a childish temperant. I hope you can forgive them; I am really sorry." Craig bowed to the three, then hurriedly left.
"What’s wrong with him, not stopping his companions from hurting others but then coming to apologize afterward? Ugh, I really can’t stand people like that, total sneaky cowards." Ariel pouted, speaking with an impatient tone.
"That’s not entirely fair; maybe he was in a difficult position. His friends had such deep hostility towards us. If he had stopped them or apologized in front of them, he might have been ostracized. He probably didn’t want that, so he ca to apologize later." Lin ngyao said, a bit disagreeingly.
Hearing Lin ngyao’s words, Ariel showed a surprised expression and suddenly focused her gaze on Xu Ke, speaking with a tone full of amazent: "How do you keep your wife so naive? No wonder you can’t leave her alone; kids here wouldn’t co up with such an answer."
After expressing her admiration to Xu Ke, Ariel turned her attention back to Lin ngyao and even reached out to pat Lin ngyao’s shoulder like an old veteran—a gesture she never made before since she disliked anything that might make her seem older.
"Seriously, don’t view people this way from now on. You must know that human nature is inherently greedy and insatiable. If you keep thinking like this, I really don’t know how long you could survive alone in this city."
Xu Ke frowned at Ariel’s hand on Lin ngyao’s shoulder, and the next mont, he walked over, grabbed Ariel’s hand, and threw it off Lin ngyao.
"She is my wife; you don’t need to worry about her affairs. Besides, I think my wife is perfect just as she is; there’s no need to change anything." Xu Ke said expressionlessly.
"Stop arguing about this trivial matter. Let’s go play the rides we haven’t gone on yet." Lin ngyao said, grabbing one in each hand.
They were about to leave their original spot and head to the next ga when a sleepy-sounding voice suddenly ca from behind them.
"Wait a minute." Izy ran up to them, stretching out a hand to block Xu Ke’s path.
"You guys keep coming over one by one, is it never-ending? If you want to apologize, do it quickly; we’re busy going on rides." Ariel said impatiently.
Lin ngyao looked at Izy with a sense of crisis in her heart.
Sure enough, the next mont she heard Izy say to Xu Ke: "Don’t take what happened just now to heart. Also, could you leave a contact info? I’ve just arrived in this city. If you have ti, could you show around to get familiar with the environnt? Please?" Izy blinked, looking at Xu Ke with hopeful eyes.
She knew exactly how to present herself in the most beautiful angle and with the most captivating gaze.
