"How could that be possible, hehe, Shuya, you're overthinking it!" Ye Xiao immediately laughed it off. He didn't want to say he had been to the Song family's house because, at least in his view, telling the stark truth would lead to even more misunderstandings!

"I'm not joking with you!" Ling Shuya's voice gradually became serious as she looked at Ye Xiao and said, "I can tolerate you casually interacting with those dubious women, but I cannot tolerate you doing improper things in my car!"

Improper things?

Hearing Ling Shuya's words, Ye Xiao instantly felt wronged. However, at this moment, he realized that all the girls were looking at him with doubtful eyes. Clearly, they now believed Ling Shuya's suspicions rather than Ye Xiao!

"It really didn't happen, although it's trendy these days to do 'that' in cars. But I swear to heaven, I absolutely didn't do what you're imagining. Okay, okay, this umbrella belongs to Officer Song. It was raining, so Officer Song lent me the umbrella," Ye Xiao said!

Ye Xiao's words were mostly true, but once again, his statement attracted even more complicated looks. Those looks clearly suggested that Ye Xiao might have had an improper affair with Officer Song!

"No!" Ye Xiao said somewhat angrily!

"No what?" Seeing Ye Xiao raising his voice, Ling Shuya immediately pressed him for an answer!

Ye Xiao then said, "I said I didn't do anything improper with Officer Song, you have to believe me!"

"But we didn't say you did anything improper with her. Your admission is completely unsolicited!" Ling Shuya said with a cold smile, seeming vengeful!

Ye Xiao was a very clever person, but after this conversation with Ling Shuya, he somehow lost his composure!

...

You Ran Inn was a relatively well-known hotel near Minghai Academy. Though called a hotel, it's not really formal; it's more like a casual hangout where many students and young people from the community like to eat!

The decor of You Ran Inn had some traditional style, but since it had been raining all day, business wasn't so good. Ye Xiao was in a bad mood. However, the other five girls were unusually cheerful, delighted to have coaxed some words out of Ye Xiao, even if they weren't exactly accurate. Ye Xiao had always seemed so clever!

Ye Xiao drove right up to the entrance of You Ran Inn and blocked the door!

The reason was to spare Ling Shuya, Shen Qiuyu, Su Yun, and the other girls from getting too wet in the rain. Surprisingly, everyone hesitated to use the single umbrella, which really left Ye Xiao helpless!

"Ye Xiao, you go park the car; we'll go inside!" Su Yun looked at Ye Xiao sitting in the car and said, "Hurry up!"

"Sister Su knows how to care about people, unlike some who always think about how to suppress me with their words!" Ye Xiao chuckled as he spoke to Su Yun!

Su Yun smiled slightly, her cheeks blushing, and glanced at Ling Shuya, who had already entered You Ran Inn. Then she said to Ye Xiao, "You know, Shuya can be a bit temperamental. You're a man; you should accommodate her!"

"Alright, alright, I get it!" Hearing that Su Yun wanted to school him, Ye Xiao immediately drove the car to a parking space!

"It's funny, she has a bit of a temper? I have a bit of a temper too, hmm, I definitely need to set this Miss Ling straight tonight during Alchemy, and show her who's the boss," Ye Xiao couldn't help but think of Ling Shuya's alluring pose on the bed, which instantly stirred his feelings. He sighed, realizing he was indeed a worldly person!

Although You Ran Inn's business wasn't very good today, there were only a few parking spaces left nearby. Seeing one in the distance, Ye Xiao evenly sped towards it. There was too much water on the roadside, and without noticing, his car wheel swept through a small puddle, splashing water up. Coincidentally, it drenched a passerby!

"Motherfucker, who the hell drives without looking? Splashing water all over me!" The drenched passerby cursed loudly, and seeing that Ye Xiao had stopped, he swiftly walked over!

Ye Xiao saw the water splash onto someone and immediately felt apologetic. He quickly rolled down the car window just as the person approached.

"Brother, I'm really sorry, I didn't see the puddle there," Ye Xiao apologetically looked at the approaching person.

"Fuck, you think a sorry is enough?" The man glanced at Ye Xiao and then at the car Ye Xiao was driving, and immediately started cursing at Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao heard the man curse, and his expression turned cold. He detested anyone verbally insulting his mother, whom he had never met because he cherished her all the more for it.

"Big brother, I've apologized, and you've cursed at me, let's leave it at that," the little apology that had been on Ye Xiao's face had completely disappeared!

Ye Xiao wasn't a reasonable person, but given the unstable situation in Minghai City, he didn't want to start trouble. Moreover, it had indeed been his fault for splashing the man with water, but that didn't warrant a curse!

"Let it go?" The man immediately spat towards Ye Xiao's car and said uncleanly, "Fuck, who the fuck are you for me to curse at? See this? My clothes cost over a thousand in the store, and you think a sorry is enough? Pay up, one thousand yuan, not a penny less, or you're not going anywhere!"

Ye Xiao looked at the man, the chill on his face slowly replaced by a dense smile. He took a tissue from the car and wiped off the man's spit.

While wiping, he said, "Brother, why do you have to go hard on me? It's inevitable in the rain for water to splash. You've cursed and spat on my car, I'm not holding these against you. Now, you go your way, I go mine. If you keep this up, it's not certain who will be happy and who will cry."

"Ha! Kid, you think you can threaten me? Get out, get the fuck out now!" Seeing Ye Xiao repeatedly yielding and driving a low-grade car, the man felt fearless and even a sense of achievement standing before Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao looked at the man and said, "Big brother, do you really want me to get out? Let's forget about it!"

"Ha, kid, scared now? Don't worry, just hand over the money quietly, and it'll all be fine!"

Ye Xiao sighed. There always seemed to be some people who overestimated themselves, maybe having a bit of money, or maybe affiliated with some high-ranking official—essentially a lapdog, but in their eyes, a top-quality one at that!

It was still raining heavily. Ye Xiao naturally wasn't foolish. Even if he had to get out, he needed to take an umbrella. There was just one pink umbrella in the car; he had no choice but to use it for the situation.

When the man saw Ye Xiao actually get out of the car, he immediately walked around the car and came straight in front of Ye Xiao, saying coldly, "So you did get out? So what? You want to try fighting me? Let me tell you, I come from a martial arts background. Just hand over a thousand yuan, and we can forget this whole ordeal. But, dare to say a word against it, I'll beat you and smash your car, believe it?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "So, big brother here is a martial arts instructor, huh? Didn't see that coming. But I think, these two things you mentioned, the first is going to be tough!"

"What do you mean?"

"Because you can't beat me," Ye Xiao held the umbrella in one hand and casually wiped his nose with the other, his gaze carrying a trace of flippancy!

"You fucking underestimate me, alright, I'll show you today, how high the sky is and how thick the earth is!" The man said this and threw a fast punch at Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao slightly moved his body and easily dodged the man's punch. In that fleeting moment, Ye Xiao quickly kicked the man, who had boasted about being a martial arts instructor. The man was sent flying backward, landing with a splash in the rainwater on the ground. What was initially just a splash on his clothes now had him soaked, his umbrella nowhere to be seen.

"Fucking hell!" The martial arts instructor, sent flying by Ye Xiao's kick, immediately stood up and screamed as he ran back toward Ye Xiao!

Ye Xiao stood still, watching the so-called martial arts instructor rapidly coming his way. The instructor had previously underestimated Ye Xiao and hence was taken by surprise, feeling only that Ye Xiao was slightly stronger than expected. This time, however, he was fully exert-minded, throwing a powerful kick aimed at Ye Xiao's head!

Since the instructor was covered in rainwater, this was almost a kick with attached water. Ye Xiao wasn't afraid of the instructor's strength; instead, he was more worried about the rain splashing onto him since he was supposed to dine with some beautiful women later and his clothes were newly bought. Getting them wet or dirty was definitely not ideal!

Thus, seeing the rainwater flying his way, Ye Xiao quickly moved backward, twisting his body multiple times to dodge the water. However, just then, the martial arts instructor closed in, aiming a direct kick at Ye Xiao's body. Ye Xiao immediately stretched out his hand and slapped it on the instructor's leg. The instructor spun in mid-air, only to heavily crash down on the ground. Ye Xiao, sharp as ever, jumped aside to avoid any water splashing onto him!
