Chapter 6, Trouble Comes Upon Us

The beautiful woman was in front, and he did not resort to coarse language; however, outside the girls' line of sight, his sinister little eyes were filled with disdain and malice

It is indeed the case that as an ordinary worker, without a fixed residence and struggling to make ends meet, how could one possibly harbor such passionate feelings? If I were to express the emotions of infatuation and admiration I just experienced, I fear it would only provoke the remark from others, "A toad wishing to eat swan meat."

With a light cough, after Lu Yan's attention turned to him, Li Jian pointed at the red camera strap floating on the water's surface and coldly smiled at Lu Yan: "Hehe, you got someone else's camera wet, don't you have anything to say about it?"

Nodding slightly, Lu Yan felt a warmth in his heart upon seeing how sensible the girl was, and he regarded her with a higher opinion. He did not intend to force Xu Chunyun, the party involved, to lower her proud head and apologize, and decided to let the matter rest. In this situation, it was impossible to calm down and continue fishing; having had a fruitful day, he decided to return early to clean and sort the fish.

Accompanying her was a stunning woman in a form-fitting orange leather skirt, exuding an endless charm in her features

Lu Yan's heart, which had just been beating fervently, suddenly slowed down upon meeting the beautiful girl's doubtful gaze directed at him

Although they are companions, she did not consider Xu Chunyun's feelings at all, and bluntly said: "If you are in the wrong, then do not blame others. I came out for a walk to clear my mind, but I never expected to see you bullying someone else, which ruined my mood. Also, when did we say we would take a group photo?"

Lu Yan shifted the bamboo basket forward, holding it in his arms. After the man with the sword-like eyebrows stepped back, displeased by the fishy smell, he took two steps, turned around, and said flatly: "I still stand by what I said at www.hetushu.com. Assistance is welcome, but if you have orders, look for someone else"

As the girl approached, Lu Yan realized that she was exceptionally tall. Although she was wearing ordinary canvas shoes, she was nearly the same height as him, her long legs accentuating the fitted matte blue jeans she wore.

Many people expressed their approval, yet the beautiful girl named Lulu furrowed her brows, unsure whether it was due to her discomfort with Li Jian's intimate address or lingering feelings about the recent events. After they finished speaking, she suddenly claimed to feel unwell and suggested that she wanted to go back, and with that, she walked towards the car

Hehe, Lu Yan let out a cold laugh but said nothing

You little rascal, if it weren't for you bumping into me, how would I have fallen to the ground and dropped my camera into the water? When I got up to question you, you pushed me down again, and you actually want to argue?

These individuals consider themselves to be above others, speaking without a hint of humility, as if they are giving orders. To be honest, it is not that he is afraid of confrontation; rather, he is simply too lazy to engage with such people. In this city, those who can afford a military-grade Land Rover certainly hold a distinguished status, but what does that matter?

As soon as the girl left, a shadow fell over Li Jian's handsome face. He cast a glance at Xu Chunyun and walked towards the car

Unexpectedly, the girl apologetically spoke on behalf of her companion to Lu Yan: "I am sorry, there was a misunderstanding"

She wore a sleek, jet-black ponytail and a light-colored round-neck T-shirt. Her simple and elegant attire stood in stark contrast to that of her companions, who were dressed in luxurious and opulent clothing

Fortunately, he still retained his composure, set the bamboo basket aside, and said in a neither servile nor overbearing manner

Seeing Lu Yan's final words filled with sorrow, his expression devoid of any pretense, the exceptionally beautiful girl from m.hetushu.com could not help but ask in a low voice. She was somewhat familiar with Xu Chunyun and understood her arrogant and overbearing nature; it was a stroke of luck that this fat man did not bully others, let alone be as wronged as he claimed.

However, when the girl noticed Lu Yan's unabashed and direct gaze of appreciation, she instinctively stepped aside, naturally developing a slight aversion towards this boy, feeling that he seemed somewhat superficial

The camera is a bit far from the shore, and without tools, it is not easy to retrieve it. He wants Lu Yan to use a fishing rod to hook the camera up.

Li Jian nodded, noticing Lu Yan's eyes fixed intently on the beautiful girl beside him, a surge of anger involuntarily welled up in his heart

He thought for a moment, took out his phone from his pocket, and dialed a number: "Brother Duan? Yes! It's me, Chun Yun... Ah, my dad is doing well. There's something I would like you to help me find a brother to do..."

Han Xin could endure the humiliation of bending down for a moment, so how can I not tolerate this arrogance? ... I will endure, until the day I defeat your father and mother, allowing you to accept the humiliation I bestow upon you ...

There was also a tall and robust man with sword-like eyebrows, somewhat older than the others, in his twenties. He stood upright with a steady gait, exuding a somewhat resolute military demeanor. However, the crooked smile at the corner of his mouth, containing an odd expression, somewhat undermined this aura.

Right and wrong have their own principles. Whether you believe it or not, if you wish to impose a reversal of black and white upon me, then come forth. I have always been straightforward since childhood, yet I have never been one to yield.

The girl waved her hand to interrupt Xu Chunyun's words, her slightly narrowed eyes filled with the chill of autumn

If you think that my plain attire and lack of power make me an easy target for bullying, then feel free to come over. However, do not indiscriminately splash dirty water, as it is quite disgusting

How could he blame me when it was he himself who accidentally fell into the water

After Lu Yan recounted the sequence of events, he felt increasingly indignant, his eyebrows raised in anger

Xu Chunyun, think for yourself, who is right and who is wrong? You just asked me to help take a group photo, and if your tone had been a bit more polite, I would have agreed. However, you spoke in a commanding tone as if you were a young master giving orders. I am neither a lowly servant nor your family's lackey, so why should I do as you say?

Thinking of this, since the matter was settled, Lu Yan felt a sense of resolution. He nodded kindly at the girl, disregarding the others. Lu Yan tidied up the fishing gear and prepared to leave. However, the man with the sword-like eyebrows, who had remained silent until now, came over and blocked his way, saying: "Don't go; after all, it was you who tripped and caused the camera to fall into the water. Let's retrieve it before you leave."

Lu Yan noticed the beautiful girl frowning slightly, realizing that she had a poor impression of him. As he felt regret in his heart, blaming himself for being reckless, he was brought back to his senses by the question from the handsome man, Li Jian. Lu Yan, somewhat perplexed, responded with a counter-question:

I am not your mother, so why should I indulge you

After speaking, he slowly walked towards the roadside where the bicycles were parked

Xu Chunyun had some reservations about the girl, glanced at Li Jian, and said in a low voice: "He can say anything to avoid compensating for the camera"

Like in a fairyland

With such thoughts, a sense of desolation began to creep into my heart, which then transformed into a fierce resentment. The sparse crowd here is truly infuriating; it would be better to "plant these men in the lotus". As for the women... After a fleeting moment of bloodlust in Lu Yan's heart, various scenarios of desperate escape began to surface in his mind.

Ignoring you, who would have thought you would become so enraged and strike out at me? If I hadn't dodged quickly, I might have fallen into the water by now... Your fall was due to your failed attempt to hit me and your loss of balance? As for the camera, I have never touched it from beginning to end, so what does it have to do with me?

Xu Chunyun gazed at the distant figure of Lu Yan, her face filled with a sense of gloom

The brilliant sunlight filters through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled light and shadow, gently falling on the face of the girl in front, with fine hairs glowing with a golden halo. The shimmering reflections dance in Lu Yan's eyes, lingering like a cherished memory in his heart

The overweight Xu Chunyun and the man with sword-like eyebrows wanted to approach, but Li Jian stopped them. He casually shrugged and smiled gracefully, saying: "Forget it, since we didn't engage with them, why force others? Besides, Lulu has already spoken; we should consider the situation. Let's continue having fun. In a while, we can head to the bar street in the east, where there are several British-themed bars that are quite charming."

Xu Chunyun could no longer contain her anger, pointing at Lu Yan and shouting loudly, with a hint of pushing. Three men subtly surrounded Lu Yan, while two beautiful women nearby looked at him in surprise, unable to hide their disdainful expressions.

She looked at Lu Yan's utterly unpretentious face and his resolute gaze, and felt that she must have misunderstood him, a sense of apology naturally arising in her heart

Today's forbearance is all for the sake of this beautiful young lady

* * * * * * * *

Is what Xu Chunyun said true

Lu Yan had certainly seen beautiful women before. In today's society, where information is so advanced, there are countless stunning individuals both in reality and online. However, the extraordinary faces enhanced by cosmetics and Photoshop, while beautiful, always felt distant and unreal to Lu Yan, as if separated by a thin veil

Before me stands a beautiful woman, with hair as dark as a crow's wing, skin as smooth as congealed fat, and as white as freshly fallen snow. Her delicate eyebrows are painted in shades of blue, and beneath her lovely jade-like nose, her softly curved lips possess an exquisite beauty. Her features are extraordinarily refined. Most importantly, her eyes, which sparkle with an enchanting light, exude a sweet and natural charm that captivates the heart. This gives her an aura that is as approachable as that of a girl next door, pure and innocent like the hawthorn flowers quietly standing in the mountains.

Xu Chunyun's identity is not worth arguing about. Rather than reasoning, he is more adept at using power to intimidate others. However, among these two girls, one of them has a somewhat special identity, and Li Jian is quite attentive, not wanting to reveal a rogue demeanor, which makes the situation somewhat tricky

Lu Yan looked at the girl with great surprise; she seemed to detest bullying behavior and boldly criticized Xu Chunyun in front of so many people. The fat man merely twitched his face but did not respond.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Although I am alone, I will still prepare a sumptuous meal to reward myself, and I must remember to call my parents

As everyone gathered, the chubby man named Xu Chunyun no longer took action; he regained his composure and responded to the earlier remark made by the handsome man Li Jianming: "Brother Jian, it's nothing. This country bumpkin doesn't know how to appreciate kindness and even dared to strike at me, making a fool of himself in front of everyone"

Her face, as white as jade, bore a slight blush, and her eyes were filled with remorse

Lu Yan suddenly felt four or five deer crashing in his chest, feeling dry in the mouth and tongue, blood surging, and an uncontrollable excitement.

After Lu Yan finished speaking in one breath, Xu Chunyun merely sneered. He had intended to wait until the two girls had walked far away before taking action, but he did not expect Lu Yan to articulate the entire process clearly and coherently, essentially recounting it as it had occurred.
