——————————————————————————————

"Boss, another old classmate gave me this address, and he told me he saw her in this area..."

Fatty Tang’s face appeared somewhat embarrassed as he looked at Xiao Yi.

"So you came here looking for her? And dragged me along?"

Xiao Yi stared intently at Fatty Tang, feeling an urge to strangle him. To travel all this way to this place, just because he heard a classmate had seen that other classmate in the vicinity—didn’t he realize people are alive, that they have legs and can walk?

"Boss, don’t be like that, I was too embarrassed to come here by myself, so I asked you for help," Fatty Tang pleaded as he saw Xiao Yi’s unpleasant expression, quickly revealing a flattering smile. "I mean, since we’re already here, we might as well look for her, right?"

"You’ve defeated me."

Xiao Yi looked helplessly at Fatty Tang, shaking his head at his sincere smile, and continued to follow him further inside.

"Forget it, Fatty, we might as well go back. You won’t find her this way. You should ask your classmates again for more information, and then come back here."

After following Fatty Tang through streets and alleys for a while, Xiao Yi felt they should give up on this blind search. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to help Fatty, but because they simply didn’t know where the person lived. Searching based on her having been spotted in the area once was just too much of a long shot.

However, as his words fell, he didn’t get any response from Fatty, which made him lift his head in surprise and look towards him.

He saw Fatty, looking ahead excitedly, his hands clenched into fists, his chubby face flushed with a hint of red.

Xiao Yi was momentarily stunned, then followed Fatty Tang’s gaze. He saw at the corner of a street ahead, a girl wearing a tangerine apron over a yellow garment, with long hair, roughly a little over 1.6 meters tall, her face showing a trace of fatigue, busily working at a pushcart snack stand.

A few students in school uniforms stood in front of her stall, watching her bustling about.

After glancing at the girl and then at Fatty Tang who stood there staring blankly, Xiao Yi was certain that the person in front of them was indeed the classmate Fatty Tang had been searching for.

Unexpectedly, he had actually found her. She really was in this area.

Xiao Yi looked at Fatty Tang somewhat strangely, then gently patted the still excited Fatty Tang’s shoulder. "Now that you’ve found her, you should go say hello."

"I..."

Fatty Tang came to his senses, his chubby face suddenly turning shy, hesitantly saying like a little girl, "Boss, is it really okay for me to go over like this?"

"You’re not telling me that after all the trouble to come here and searching for so long, you’re just planning to take a glance and not even dare to say hello before heading back, are you?"

Watching Fatty Tang, a big and tall man, display such a shy demeanor, Xiao Yi couldn’t help feeling speechless. However, upon hearing his words, he immediately widened his eyes, looking at Fatty Tang with an expression that said, "If you dare to say yes, I’ll kill you."

Since Fatty Tang had been walking around this side for quite a while without a single complaint of tiredness, and considering the expression he had just shown, Xiao Yi already knew that Fatty Tang really liked this girl. In his heart, he had decided to give Fatty Tang a hand and naturally couldn’t let him chicken out at this moment.

"Boss, why don’t we come back tomorrow, so I can prepare a bit more."

Fatty Tang glanced at the girl busily moving in the distance, hesitated a bit in his expression, and still seemed a bit timid.

"Bang!"

Seeing the hesitation in Fatty Tang’s eyes, Xiao Yi sighed softly. In the end, Fatty Tang still couldn’t take that step forward. If he couldn’t take that step himself, Xiao Yi couldn’t help even if he wanted to. Chasing a girl was something that, if he himself wasn’t confident about treating her well and giving her happiness, let alone gathering the courage to speak to her and meet her, then on what grounds could he expect the girl to like him?

Just as he was about to say something, suddenly, from the direction of the snack stand up ahead, there was a sudden bang, and he quickly turned his gaze towards the snack stand.

Next to the snack stand, a few unruly thugs suddenly appeared, surrounding the stall, and the students who had been waiting to buy something scattered in an instant.

The "bang" just now came from one of the scoundrels wielding a wooden stick that had struck the table where the girl was making pancakes, making a loud noise.

"What are you... what are you trying to do!"

The girl, seeing these crudely dressed thugs with their hair dyed yellow, immediately showed a trace of disgust in her eyes, but more than that, it was fear.

"Of course, we’re here to eat! What else could we do here if not eat?"

The lead thug holding some kind of stick said, with a lewd smile in his eyes.

"Heh heh..."

"..."

The girl, looking at the lewd expressions on the faces of the few hoodlums, turned pale with anger, her delicate body trembling as if enduring some extreme pain, her small hands tightly clenched. It took her a moment before she could hold back the tears in her eyes and said through gritted teeth, "You came to eat just yesterday, and today you’re here again. I run a small business and only make a dozen bucks a day. I simply can’t afford to serve you guys."

"Young miss, what do you mean by that? We’re ensuring your safety, and you have a problem with us eating your food? Let me tell you, it’s your honor that we deign to eat here!"

Hearing the girl’s words, the thug with the stick’s face darkened instantly, and he struck down forcefully again with his stick, creating another loud bang.

"This is outrageous!"

Fatty Tang, watching the scene unfold before his eyes, looked at the girl in the distance with reddened eyes, on the verge of tears, and clenched his fists tightly. He couldn’t hold back any longer and charged forward. In that moment, he forgot all his previous reservations, no longer hesitated; his eyes filled only with bloodshot rage. In fact, in this moment, he’d even forgotten that Xiao Yi was standing beside him.

(I just came back from dinner with a few friends tonight, and I’m feeling a bit dizzy, so I can’t keep on writing for now. Just these three Chapters for today. I apologize to everyone here! I will definitely make it up in the future!)(To be continued.
