"Hehe..." Yang Zi glanced at Lin Chuan with a sidelong look, showing a charming smile, stuck out her adorable pink tongue, and then said, "Do you think I'm pretty?"

"Indeed." Lin Chuan quickly turned his head to stare out the window.

Yang Zi was indeed very beautiful, so beautiful that it made people feel obsessed. At present, Yang Zi's suitors could still line up from the city center to Jiangdong District. Although she was widowed, her charm was absolutely off the charts. Many men fantasized about Yang Zi. Many men would even be willing to shorten their lives by ten years just to spend one night with Yang Zi. Of course, if it were possible.

The two headed straight to the Night Color Bar.

As they entered the Night Color Bar, they were immediately approached by a man.

"Want to skate?" the man said with a smile.

"No need." Lin Chuan shook his head.

"Whoa, it's you?" The man lifted his head and saw a very familiar face. He laughed, "Young Master Lin, it's you?"

"Why are you still here?" Lin Chuan looked at the man in surprise and said, "Can't you find another place to sell this stuff? Why do you stick to this haunted place every day?"

"Do you think I want to?" The man sighed and then said, "But, other places are taken, so I can only stay here. Besides, business here is good, and I can make more than ten thousand a month. Plus, the police don't dare to come here."

"Why?" Lin Chuan asked curiously.

"Because this is Jvyi Gang's territory." The man grinned, "Forgot to tell you, I'm one of the gang's members. Kid, if you need anything in the future, just mention my name, and I guarantee no one will dare to bully you."

Lin Chuan was stunned and smiled, "Alright, I'll mention your name next time."

"Then you should take care of my business too, right?" The man quickly said and took a sneak peek at Yang Zi beside them, "That chick is nice, much prettier than Sister Fang, and her figure is great. Tsk, tsk, I have some knockout drops here, want some? I guarantee it's colorless and tasteless, she won't notice."

"Forget it!" Lin Chuan patted his shoulder and said, "I'm not into these things. You better find someone else."

After saying that, Lin Chuan headed straight inside. Yang Zi smiled and followed him, then held Lin Chuan's hand. Some things, the further they are, the more you want to catch up. Some things, the closer they are, the more you want to distance yourself.

Back then, Lin Chuan wrote love letters to Yang Zi, but Yang Zi considered it an insult and tore up the letters in front of the whole class, causing Lin Chuan to lose all dignity; now, Yang Zi pursued Lin Chuan in every possible way, even practiced her skills at night to serve men, intending to use them to capture Lin Chuan's heart.

The two sat down at the bar counter.

"Two beers, please." Lin Chuan said.

The bartender immediately served them two beers, the chilled beer bubbling up continuously. Yang Zi sat on the stool, held up the glass, and said, "Lin Chuan, thank you, this drink is on me."

"You're welcome." Lin Chuan shook his head.

Gulp, gulp...

Yang Zi surprisingly gulped down the beer in large swigs. In the blink of an eye, she finished the whole glass, leaving Lin Chuan dumbfounded.

Yang Zi's beauty soon attracted a lot of hidden attention. In a corner of the Night Color Bar, a muscular man with a bare chest, covered in intimidating tattoos, looked alarming. This guy was holding a flashy woman with heavy makeup and a voluptuous body, but an average-looking face. Two underlings stood behind the strong man.

One of the underlings noticed that his big brother kept staring at Yang Zi. He quickly lowered his head and said, "Big brother, you fancy that chick?"

"Go invite her over for a drink or two," the strong man said.

"Yes!" The underling quickly nodded.

At this moment, Lin Chuan and Yang Zi were about to have their second drink. However, they were interrupted by a young thug from society.

"Miss, our boss invites you over for a couple of drinks. Please do us the honor." The man smiled at Yang Zi.

"No!" Yang Zi, who is the owner of the Liu Group, could ordinary people move her? Furthermore, she had a distaste for these little thugs, sometimes even disdain. Lin Chuan was her only love.

"Hehe, you'd better look clearly before you speak." The man pointed at the nearby burly man, broad-shouldered and strong. The strong man even smiled at Yang Zi, nodding slightly, as if politely inviting her.

Yang Zi disdainfully said, "What do you want?"

"Miss, you'd better think carefully," the man sneered, "the consequences of not going are serious."

"Convincing me to go is easy." Yang Zi squinted her eyes, extremely alluring, and she said with a smile, "Unless my boyfriend agrees."

While speaking, Yang Zi looked at Lin Chuan.

The man was stunned, finally turning his gaze to Lin Chuan. He smiled, "Kid, my boss wants to invite your girlfriend for a couple of drinks."

"Then let your boss come and invite her himself," Lin Chuan replied without even looking up.

"Fuck, who the hell do you think you are?" The man shouted angrily.

"You'd better watch your mouth." Lin Chuan turned his head and glared at him. The man was about to grab a chair, but Lin Chuan's glare scared him into retreating several steps. His face was a picture of shock. The murderous intent in Lin Chuan's eyes forced him back several steps.

The man slinked away, leaning in to whisper something into the muscle-bound guy's ear. Upon hearing this, the bulky man immediately let go of the woman in his arms, stood up from the sofa, and walked towards Lin Chuan. The man was over six feet three, with a robust build and developed muscles. His upper body almost formed an inverted triangle. His legs were also incredibly thick, a clear sign of his focus on strength training.

When he approached Lin Chuan, his voice was rough, "Kid, how about you lend me your girlfriend today?"

"And if I refuse?" Lin Chuan asked.

"Refuse?" The big guy grinned, clenching his fist, which cracked loudly. He chuckled, "Then you'll get a taste of my fists."

Bang...

Lin Chuan grabbed a half-full beer bottle from the bar and smashed it hard onto the big guy's forehead. The beer splashed out immediately.

The big guy was momentarily stunned, staring at Lin Chuan in disbelief, roaring, "Fuck, how dare you hit me? I'm going to kill you!"

With that, he swung a powerful punch towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan's lips curled into a cruel smile.

Pfft...

Lin Chuan still held the jagged half-broken beer bottle, thrusting it towards the guy's incoming punch. The glass shards pierced into the man's fist. In that instant, a pig-like scream echoed throughout the bar.

"Ah!!!" The man screamed in agony.

Bam!

Not waiting for the man to react, Lin Chuan raised his foot and viciously kicked the man's abdomen. The kick forced the man to stagger back a couple of steps, allowing Lin Chuan to leap onto a bar chair, and then strike the man's jaw with his right foot. That kick knocked the man off balance, his six-foot-three frame collapsing backwards. Cheers and gasps erupted in the bar, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

"Fuck, you dared to hit our boss? You're dead." Two cohorts immediately grabbed bar stools and swung them at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan held his opponents in contempt, ducking low, placing his hands on the ground, and swinging one leg towards them. His leg hit one man's ankle, sending him sprawling to the ground face-first, losing a tooth, and howling in pain.

"Fuck!" The other man's chair was already crashing down.

Lin Chuan swiftly evaded, making the metal-framed wooden chair crash to the floor with a loud bang. Lin Chuan moved quickly and reacted sharply, darting out as the man prepared for a second attack.

"Die!" With a move called Mount Tai Pressing, Lin Chuan forced the guy down. The man fell to the floor, retching acid.

Lin Chuan easily took down the three men.

Clap, clap, clap...

At this moment, applause unexpectedly broke out in the bar.

Yang Zi, nearby, looked at Lin Chuan in delight and said, "Wow, Lin Chuan, you were amazing."

"Dealing with this kind of people is nothing," Lin Chuan clapped his hands, saying, "They really spoil our drinking mood."

"Indeed," Yang Zi snorted softly, "These people are so vile."

"Ignore them, let's go." Lin Chuan tossed a hundred yuan on the bar, turned, and left. Yang Zi happily followed behind him. They quickly exited the bar.

Yang Zi, full of excitement, was surprised that Lin Chuan stood up for her, something she hadn't expected. She originally thought Lin Chuan would ignore such incidents, believing Yang Zi was perfectly capable of handling them herself, having experienced similar situations many times and feeling no fear. However, she didn't expect Lin Chuan to stand up for her this time.

Outside the bar, Yang Zi clung to Lin Chuan's arm, saying, "Lin Chuan, thank you."

"No need to thank me," Lin Chuan shook his head, "It's what I should do."

"I told you, nobody in this world is obliged to be nice to anyone," Yang Zi laughed, "Helping me is kindness; not helping is normal. So, I should thank you."

Lin Chuan laughed, "You're wrong."

"How many days do we have in life?" Lin Chuan smiled, "Whether it's kindness or duty, things should be as they are. Living is about doing meaningful things, isn't it?"

"Hehe, then..." Yang Zi naturally wrapped her hands around Lin Chuan's neck, "What do you think is a meaningful thing?"

"For everyone, meaningful things are different." Lin Chuan chuckled.

"Really?" Yang Zi grinned widely, "But for me, it's being with you, doing the things we love."
