Chapter 76: Conflict (1)

  "Boss, we want a private room. Brothers, today I'm treating you all, order whatever you like." Just then, a loud commotion was heard from outside, it seemed that another group of wealthy students had arrived.

  The decoration in the small restaurant is very ordinary. The private room and the outside are not well soundproofed, so as long as the voice is slightly louder, it can be heard.

  "Sorry guys, but this private room is already taken by someone else. Why don't you sit outside instead? It's the same anyway."

  "Huh? Didn't the teachers have a meeting at noon today? Why are there still teachers coming to the private room for dinner?" someone questioned.

  "This isn't the teacher, it's a few students who came to take the private room first. Alright, you guys just sit outside for now, I'll get the kitchen to prepare your dishes, they'll be ready soon." The boss continued to solicit business.

  "Why don't we change to another restaurant?" someone suggested, but was quickly refuted by others, "No way, the dishes at other restaurants are not as delicious as this one."

  When someone praised the dishes in his restaurant, the boss smiled and said: "Of course, the rice and dishes here are the cleanest and most hygienic, and the taste is the best. If you go to another house, you will definitely regret it."

  "Or we can just eat outside then." It was still the same person who suggested changing houses earlier.

  However, the leader seemed to think that this was very embarrassing and thought for a moment before saying: "Boss, today is my birthday and I'm treating everyone. I don't want it to be so cheap and embarrassing. Go ask them to give up their private room, and I'll cover their expenses today as part of my treat."

  The boss seemed to have no way out, but then he thought that the students inside should also be able to eat about the same amount, and now someone was helping to pay the bill, what a great bargain it was. He walked in, not expecting that before he even opened his mouth, Luo Hui glared at him with both eyes and said: "Boss, you don't need to say anything more, we're not people who can't afford to pay, no need for anyone to treat us."

  The boss was stunned, this situation was completely beyond his expectation!

  He scowled and rubbed his hands together, saying: "Come on, pal, just let it go. You don't want him to treat you, no big deal, I'll comp your meal. Those guys are not people to be trifled with, I heard they're all kids of high-ranking officials from the city, all from the same school. Why bother making trouble?" But what the boss was really thinking was that those students outside had already said they'd treat him, so in the end it would still come out of his pocket, and he wouldn't lose a thing.

  "It's just the mayor's son, even if he came, my old man wouldn't let him. Can he still bite me? From beginning to end, I'm not afraid." Luo Hui was originally a stubborn and proud person, and in front of good friends, he couldn't lose face. If he left with his tail between his legs today, how could he show his face tomorrow and boast about being so fierce? How would his friends look at him?

  However, after saying this, Leng Binghan was so embarrassed that he couldn't help but scratch his head, and Xiao Wei also stared at Luo Hui with wide eyes, wondering why Luo Hui would say such a thing. Didn't he know that Leng Binghan was the mayor's son?

  Jian Rui was very resolute. The boss seemed helpless and could only sigh and shake his head as he went out to pass on the message to the people outside.

  "Who's so capable? It turns out it's you, fatty!" Probably having heard the boss relay Luo Hui's boastful words, he felt quite humiliated. The four of them directly rushed in, led by a tall and thin boy wearing glasses, probably 13 or 14 years old. He looked at Luo Hui with some disdain and said.

  Luohui's face changed slightly when he saw this person, but he still stretched his neck and said: "Sun Zhengfei, things should have a order, we haven't finished eating yet, why should we give the private room to you?"

  Sun Zhengfei let out a cold hum and said, "It seems that you haven't been taught a lesson in the past two years. You, Luo Baozi, have eaten leopard gallbladder and forgotten the pain. Be sensible and get lost quickly. I'm in a good mood today because it's my birthday, so I don't want to bother with you."

  Luohui's face suddenly turned white, his mouth opened and closed as if he wanted to say something, but still didn't speak out. He hung his head in shame and said to Leng Bingxue and Xiao Wei: "Xiao Han, Xiao Wei, I'm sorry, let's change to another place, I'll treat you." His voice was very low, but accompanied by heavy breathing, it could be felt that he was trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.

  Leng Bing Han merely lifted his head to take a glance, but didn't make any noise, and continued eating on his own. Xiao Wei had originally heard Luo Hui say that he had already put down his chopsticks, so she was about to get up and leave with them, but upon seeing Leng Bing Han sitting steadily, she didn't know what he wanted to do, so she also sat back down.

  It doesn't matter where to eat or what to eat, it's not a big deal. Sun Zhengfei's actions are just the nature of children at this age showing off and bragging, can't be considered bad, he doesn't want to bother with them either, and it's really a bit beneath him to have dealings with such kids.

  But bullying your own friends right in front of you is absolutely unacceptable!

  Sun Zhengfei originally saw Luo Hui yield and choose to leave, with a triumphant expression on his face. However, his triumph soon disappeared, because the student next to Luo Hui actually didn't give him any face at all, sitting steadily without moving, as if these people didn't exist.

  Even Lian Rui hung his head in shame. Who is this person, daring not to give face to himself? In the territory of Yizhong, it's extremely rare for someone to dare not to give face to themselves.

  Seeing Sun Zhengfei's face turn gloomy, Luo Hui felt a little frightened and hastily pulled Leng Binghan, saying: "Xiao Han, a good man doesn't take advantage of the situation, let's go. This Sun Zhengfei is a madman who doesn't follow reason."

  Who would have thought that he was pulled down to sit, and a glass of soda was poured for him. He said slowly: "Why are you leaving? You haven't finished eating yet. The dog can eat its own food, we eat ours. If it's hungry, just throw it some leftover bones to eat. What kind of reason is it that we give all the food to the dog and don't eat ourselves?"

  "Pfft!" As soon as Cold Ice said this, even Little Wei, who didn't usually talk much, couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing. Luo Hui was holding his stomach and laughing so hard he was rolling around on the ground. At this moment, he didn't care about being afraid of Sun Zhengfei anymore. Cold Ice's words were just too hurtful, and had already deeply offended Sun Zhengfei. Even if he wanted to back down now, Sun Zhengfei wouldn't agree to it. How could he let Cold Ice bear the consequences alone? He thought it through, and decided that even if he got beaten up by Sun Zhengfei, he couldn't just abandon his friend. So he also completely let loose.

  Sun Zhengfei's lungs almost burst with rage, his face suddenly turned iron-green. From childhood to adulthood, he had never been ridiculed and humiliated like this before, it was as if they didn't take him seriously at all. The three friends beside him didn't laugh, but their eyes were also filled with mocking and teasing meaning. This made him even more furious, he picked up the soda bottle on the table and smashed it fiercely towards Leng Bingxue.

  Actually, when kids fought back then, they usually just used their fists and feet, rarely using knives or sticks, which could easily lead to more serious injuries and trouble. But Sun Zhengfei has also become ruthless now, relying on his father's connections, nothing can't be settled, at most spending some extra money, who let this person be so overbearing?

  "Ah, Xiao Han be careful!" Luo Hui exclaimed involuntarily, while Little Wei beside him was also frightened pale and covered her mouth tightly.

  But this sudden war ended before it even began, and before everyone could see clearly, Leng Bingxue had already grabbed the soda bottle that was thrown at him. Sun Zhengfei clutched his right wrist with his left hand, let out a pained groan, and fell to the ground. The three people behind him seemed shocked, hurriedly rushed forward to help him up, and anxiously asked: "Sun Zhengfei, are you okay?"

  Sun Zhengfei's face was now completely distorted, both from the pain and the humiliation. At this moment, his cold, icy eyes seemed to be about to spew out flames of anger. He didn't even think about how he had lost his hand and gotten injured earlier, but instead shouted hoarsely with all his might: "Get him, kill him, kill him!" At this point, he seemed to have completely lost his rationality.

  Three people exchanged a glance, and their eyes seemed to have some fear, but in the end they gritted their teeth and pounced on him. Although they didn't know how Leng Bing Han had dealt with Sun Zheng Fei earlier, three against one at least had a chance of winning, but if they offended Sun Zheng Fei now, it wouldn't be good for them. Sun Zheng Fei was someone who held grudges. Moreover, they had also benefited from Sun Zheng Fei many times before, as the saying goes "bite the hand that feeds you", how could they shrink back like a turtle at this time?

  Leng Bing Han hadn't even made a move, but Luo Hui on the side suddenly shouted and rushed up, intercepting the first person. The two of them started wrestling. Since things had already gotten physical, he couldn't just let Leng Bing Han face the three of them alone, could he? That would be too unbrotherly.

  With one less person, the two of them alone couldn't handle Cold Ice and Snow. They didn't have a chance, so they simply shifted their target to Luo Hui instead. It seemed that taking down this fatty would be much easier than going up against Cold Ice and Snow. Once they took care of this fatty, they could then join forces to take on Cold Ice and Snow together.

  He rubbed his nose in a cold and helpless manner. The master was sitting here, ignored by everyone, while the others were enthusiastically fighting. However, he couldn't just watch Luo Hui being beaten, could he?

  The second man was about to punch Luo Hui, when he suddenly felt a black shadow flying towards him. Before he could react, there was a loud "thud" and something hit him right on the head. "Ah!" He let out a pained cry, covering his head with his hands as blood seeped out from between his fingers. Looking down, he saw that it was a broken bowl that had injured him.

  This sudden change of events scared the third person, who didn't dare to charge forward anymore and hastily retreated a few steps. After calming down and taking another look, Leng Bing Xue was still sitting there, holding a bowl in both hands, tossing it back and forth without any signs of panic or injury. Instead, he narrowed his eyes and revealed a faint smile, which looked very genuine, sweet, and sunny. However, when their eyes met, the person felt as if they had been soaked in icy water, with an eerie feeling spreading from the bottom of their heart. The fighting spirit that was hard to muster up instantly dissipated.
