"I can think of the most romantic thing – growing old slowly with you." A tall and young man, hands crossed over his chest, strolled leisurely, humming a tune, his mood as delightful as can be.
"I say, boss, can you stop humming that same old tune? Although the melody is good and the mood is beautiful, listening to it repeatedly might as well callous my ears." Another tall young man, catching up from behind, complained.
The young man leading the way is called Xiao Zihan, extraordinarily handsome, and he often thinks he's wasted not being a celebrity (according to his own thoughts). The follower behind is named Xing Ao, not exactly a movie star face, but still a rugged and stylish guy.
"Ao, you just don't get it. It's not the era where beauties fall for heroes. If you want those lovely flowers to bloom for you, you need romantic cells, an artistic touch. Like when the shadow of a flower brushes against the wall, making you wonder if a beauty is approaching – how wonderful those words are." Xiao Zihan had a self-indulgent expression on his face.
"Boss, I'm telling you, there's definitely something off with you today. We're two hoodlums, who are we going to discuss these 'since ancient times, the romantic ones are passionate men' kind of phrases with? Besides, you usually stick to the three-character classics, and now, this sudden change – I can't bear to watch you act like this," Xing Ao remarked.
Having said that, Xing Ao's eyes began to wander, searching for beautiful women. Not for himself, but for his boss, Xiao Zihan.
Just recently, he and his boss were on a crowded bus when they noticed a pervert taking advantage of the crowded conditions to grope women's chests. He touched multiple times without any consequences, leaving Xing Ao in awe, even praising the pervert for his skills.Unexpectedly, his boss was highly dissatisfied afterward, boldly declaring that the pervert was nothing special. He proclaimed, "What does that little punk think he is? True skill is boldly doing it in public on the street." Watching his boss confidently touch the tender bosoms of ten beautiful women in public, and none of them reporting it to the police, left Xing Ao nearly fainting on the spot. Doing such a thing ten times in broad daylight without getting reported – it sounded like a dream. What kind of twisted idea was this?
However, despite everything, Xing Ao continued to keep an eye out for beautiful women on behalf of Xiao Zihan. Because, indeed, Xiao Zihan had the ability to prevent the women he touched from reporting to the authorities. Some even took the opportunity to cast flirtatious glances at Xiao Zihan, attempting to entice him into a one-night stand. Yet, Xiao Zihan was a man of principles. He gracefully turned down such advances in a polite and tactful manner.
Xing Ao's gaze shifted from the elderly lady selling eggs to the blind fortune-telling uncle, then from the seller of 'one-night extermination for rats' to the vendor of 'ancestral secrets for plump breasts and beautiful cleavage.' Continuing his search, his efforts finally paid off when a graceful and alluring figure caught his eye. Just as he was about to notify his boss, a sudden movement beside him caught his attention, and figures soared through the air.
Qin Fangyue walked and pondered. Today, for some reason, her mind felt strange, as if something was about to happen. This was a rare occurrence for her. Growing up practicing martial arts with her father, she had developed a calm and composed demeanor in the face of challenges.Lost in her thoughts, Qin Fangyue suddenly felt someone standing in front of her. Startled that someone could approach her without her noticing, she looked up to find a tall young man with sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, a straight nose, and thin lips. His bronze-toned skin complemented his handsome features. Even someone as indifferent as her couldn't help but silently admire what a handsome man he was.
"I can think of the most romantic thing – growing old slowly with you…" The young man's mouth released a melodious song, filled with emotion, conveying a profound sentiment.
"Miss, can I grow old together with you?" The rich, magnetic voice of the man lingered in Qin Fangyue's ears. The unique and deep confession, filled with a special charm, left her momentarily stunned, and her awareness became somewhat surreal.
Xiao Zihan's lips curled upward as he stared intently at the breathtaking beauty of Qin Fangyue. Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were clear and crystalline, her petite and lovely nose had a seductive curve, and her sensual red lips resembled vibrant flower petals. Her skin was tender and fair, and her figure was slender and graceful. Describing her as an unparalleled beauty wouldn't be an exaggeration.
Sensing that the moment was ripe, Xiao Zihan's large hand lightly brushed against the soft and tender bosom of Qin Fangyue.A gentle breeze swept over the water, causing ripples to form. The sensation of caressing Qin Fangyue's delicate bosom was truly exquisite. The jade peaks were soft yet firm, full and supple. Undoubtedly, this was the epitome of the ten finest bosoms he had ever touched – a perfect creation of the heavens. It's quite conceivable that his hands still carried a faint scent of the womanly fragrance.
After savoring the moment, Xiao Zihan contemplated how to handle Qin Fangyue next. His gaze locked onto her beautiful eyes, only to find a sharp glint of coldness in them. Sensing the danger, Xiao Zihan inwardly exclaimed, "This is not good." Before he could react, he felt his hand and collar simultaneously grabbed, and in the blink of an eye, he was airborne, hurtling towards a spot five meters away.
After Xiao Zihan heavily crashed onto the ground, Qin Fangyue cast a cold glance at him and turned away, leaving the scene.
"Boss, are you okay?" Xing Ao rushed to Xiao Zihan's side and asked.
Brushing off the dust from his body, Xiao Zihan looked at Qin Fangyue's departing figure and muttered to himself, "You're quite stubborn. It seems if I hadn't fallen to the ground, you wouldn't have given up easily. Interesting."
The sky remained clear, without a cloud in sight, and the air felt a bit dry and hot. Xiao Zihan and Xing Ao walked along the path leading home. Just as they turned a corner, Xiao Zihan, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped. Xing Ao, behind him, nearly collided with Xiao Zihan. Complaining, Xing Ao said, "Boss, what's going on? We were walking fine, why did you suddenly stop?" After speaking, not hearing a response, he looked up to find that nine people had gathered in the alley ahead. All nine were armed with machetes, and they had a menacing appearance, clearly belonging to the criminal underworld. Upon closer inspection, the one standing at the forefront had a small nose and small eyes, with an ugly yet somewhat fierce demeanor. Seeing this person, Xing Ao instantly understood what was happening.
Both of them were originally unemployed wanderers, but one needs to eat and dress to live. Besides being skilled physically, they didn't have any particular talents. Therefore, they had no choice but to join the society and work temporarily as enforcers, overseeing things in smaller nightclubs. However, just two days ago, they ran into some trouble while overseeing a club called "Midnight Sea."
It was midnight at that time, and both of them were in a drowsy state when suddenly, they heard a piercing scream. Startled, they instantly woke up, and then heard the cries of a woman coming from a private room on the second floor. They hurriedly rushed over, opened the door, and saw a naked woman cowering on the floor, huddled in a corner. Beside her, an ugly man was beating and kicking her while cursing, "Damn it, how can you, a whore, refuse when I'm done in the front and want to have fun in the back? What, still not willing?"
Seeing the situation and grasping what had happened, Xiao Zihan stepped forward, grabbing the ugly man. With an expressionless face, he said, "Brother, let's talk about this. If you're looking for this kind of service, we can find someone special for you. Doing this kind of thing should be consensual – you pay, and she provides the service. Don't force her to do something she doesn't want to do. It's not good for anyone if things turn ugly."

"Damn, who the hell are you to meddle in my business?" The ugly man retorted angrily.
Xiao Zihan frowned slightly but remained calm. "Heh, brother, when you take someone's money, you need to do something for them, especially when it comes to handling these matters."
"The hell, you dare talk to me like this, do you even know who I am?"
"The name of Li Jin, the head of the 'Fierce Wolf Gang,' is a name I've heard before, brother. I just didn't expect you to be a thug who only knows how to force women."
"You motherf***er, you're asking for death. Zhang Qiang, Wang Dazhuang, where the hell are you guys?"
As the shout echoed, two disheveled individuals hurriedly rushed in. The one called Zhang Qiang had small eyes similar to Li Jin's, constantly shifting and clearly the type who specialized in giving bad ideas to others. On the other hand, Wang Dazhuang lived up to his name, a burly figure resembling the legendary Zhang Fei.
Seeing that his two subordinates had arrived, Li Jin's confidence increased significantly. Although he considered himself a capable fighter and wasn't afraid of these two, being the head of the gang, involving himself in such trivial matters personally would damage his reputation. Taking a step back, he realized these two didn't seem like pushovers. If he took action and things went south, his standing in the underworld would suffer.
"Big brother, what's going on?" Zhang Qiang asked.
Wang Dazhuang snorted and said, "Do we even need to ask? These two kids must have offended the big brother. Watch me teach them a lesson."
Before Wang Dazhuang could act, Zhang Qiang quickly stopped him. Stepping forward, he asked Xiao Zihan, "I'm sure you both know who my big brother is. Since you dared to intervene, it seems you think highly of yourselves. Why don't you give us some face and let our big brother listen to your explanation first? See if you're worthy of opposing him."
Xiao Zihan smiled and replied, "Brother, your words make you sound inexperienced. Since we're out here mixing it up, overseeing things for people, there's nothing to fear. If you're afraid of death, then why bother getting into this business? You might as well sweep the streets or clean some toilets."
Despite Li Jin and Wang Dazhuang being furious, Zhang Qiang remained calm, showing that he had some insight. He said, "After all this talk, you still haven't mentioned your names. Could it be you're afraid?"
Xiao Zihan smiled, his eyes glinting mysteriously. "You're curious about our names, huh? Alright, listen carefully. I'm Xiao Zihan, and he's Xing Ao. Just some nobody. But, if someone's looking for trouble, hehe, they better remember our names. I wonder if you've memorized them." With that, he took a step forward, and Xing Ao swiftly adjusted his posture to stand shoulder to shoulder. Both were tall figures, and this sudden movement subtly exerted an indescribable pressure.
"Hehe, unforgettable, unforgettable," Zhang Qiang maintained a smiling face, but internally, he was shocked. While others might not have heard of these two, he knew about them. A friend from the nearby city had once told him about these two. They had a dispute with someone while overseeing things in that city. Facing ten opponents, they showed no fear. After the fight, three were killed, and the remaining seven were severely injured. This friend of his was one of the seven injured, and when talking about these two, he still showed signs of fear and trembling. Zhang Qiang had mocked his friend back then, thinking they were just a couple of local hooligans. Even if they were good fighters, they shouldn't be that fearsome. Little did he expect to encounter them today, and judging by the situation, it seemed they were in for trouble.
With this in mind, Zhang Qiang quickly whispered the situation to Li Jin, advising him that a wise man doesn't seek trouble when it's right in front of him. It would be better to endure for now, gather more allies, and then deal with these two later.
Li Jin was not a reckless person. After all, being able to become the head of a gang required both strength and cunning. After some consideration, he agreed with Zhang Qiang's advice. He gestured to Zhang Qiang to handle the situation since he couldn't bring himself to do it. Seeing his big brother's signal, Zhang Qiang understood what to do. He then said, "We haven't heard of the great names of you two brothers, but in our world, face is important. Today, for the sake of your goodwill, we'll let this matter go. Be more careful in the future, though. Without much influence, you should choose your words wisely. It's not often you come across someone as easygoing as our big brother."
Xiao Zihan inwardly chuckled at the situation. Clearly, they were scared but still boasted shamelessly. However, he maintained a calm demeanor on his face, smiling and saying, "No problem, no problem. Farewell, my friend, farewell."
Li Jin and his companions, with contorted expressions, were forced to leave after their momentum had dropped. Li Jin and Wang Dazhuang were clenching their fists, and even the veins on their foreheads were visible. Zhang Qiang, using all his strength, pulled them away, half dragging and half guiding them.
As the three men left, Xing Ao smirked and said, "Boss, someone like Li Jin can become the head of a gang? I think the 'Fierce Wolf Gang' is on its way to becoming the 'Dead Wolf Gang.' But he does have one advantage—he fulfilled your wish to play the hero. Today, boss, you really impressed me. Facing three opponents, you were calm and composed, chatting away. Truly a hero's demeanor." After saying this, he even made a bowing gesture to express admiration.
Seeing through Xing Ao's little trick, Xiao Zihan was well aware that it was a way to convey a message: when the 'Fierce Wolf Gang' seeks revenge, he should face it alone. Annoyed by Xing Ao's attitude, Xiao Zihan couldn't contain himself and, when Xing Ao wasn't paying attention, delivered a flying kick. A miserable scream followed, and Xing Ao flew towards a prostitute who happened to be cowering in the corner. As he lunged toward her, she instinctively parted her legs. However, this move put Xing Ao in a rather precarious position. With an inch away from a collision, Xing Ao managed to halt his movement by bracing against the wall with one hand and supporting himself on the ground with the other. His head was now just an inch away from her intimate area, and every detail was vividly visible.
Looking at this enlarged close-up, amid his anger, Xing Ao couldn't help but think that even in adult films, he hadn't seen such an up-close shot. This was realism taken to the extreme. Glancing at the prostitute, he saw her covering her face, giggling in embarrassment. Her shoulders trembled, and the full curves of her breasts formed graceful arcs. Despite her profession, at this moment, she seemed like a shy young maiden. Xing Ao's heart fluttered along with his lower half.
Seeing the prostitute already embarrassed to such an extent, Xing Ao felt even more ashamed. This was like adding fuel to the fire. He was about to curse at Xiao Zihan, regardless of whether he was the boss or not. If he didn't get angry after everything that had happened, could he still be considered a man? He turned around abruptly, but the curse stuck in his throat. At the same time, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he shivered all over. Xiao Zihan, at some point, had positioned himself behind Xing Ao. His foot was only three inches away from Xing Ao's buttocks, and his face bore an evil grin. It seemed as if, the moment Xing Ao started swearing, Xiao Zihan would kick him right away, effectively silencing him. However, Xing Ao couldn't help but think that whatever was meant to silence him, given the messy state between the prostitute's legs, he dared not even imagine putting it in his mouth. If that were the case, Xing Ao wondered how many years it would take him to eat again.
Realizing that he might have gone too far, Xing Ao quickly put on a smiling face and said, "Boss, there's no need for this. It's just a small matter, and the brothers won't mind. Although it's important to be cautious, we're in this together, after all."
Xiao Zihan waved his hand, shrugged his shoulders, and displayed a helpless expression. "Ah Ao, I didn't do it on purpose. I didn't expect things to escalate like this. I'm really sorry. But fortunately... hehe, let's settle it this way: I'll cover all the underwear expenses for this month. How about that? Pretty generous, right?"
"Sure, sure, Boss, please put your foot down," Xing Ao shuddered.
As Xing Ao stood up, the door was pushed open. Xiao Zihan quickly took off his coat and threw it over the prostitute.
The one entering was the manager from the nightclub, Chen. He looked around and noticed that the room was undisturbed, indicating that nothing had happened yet. He said, "Xiaohan, why so careless? No matter what happened, how could you offend Li Jin? You've handled this improperly." Chen spoke in a friendly manner, which was unusual as he would typically be scolding, but this was a thug's behavior. After observing the surroundings and finding no signs of a fight, he understood that the situation wasn't very serious. Moreover, during the altercation, none of their nightclub staff were present. In case Li Jin came back, they could simply play down their involvement, pay a little money, and settle everything. They could shift the blame entirely onto Xiaohan and Xing, framing it as their personal actions.
He continued, "Xiaohan, A'ao, the situation has unfolded, and it's tricky for us too. Here's ten thousand. Take it and run. If anything happens, we'll handle it. I don't think Li Jin will cause trouble." Xiaohan sighed as he looked at the ten thousand yuan in Manager Chen's hand. After taking the money, he said, "Alright, thanks, Manager Chen." In his mind, he thought, "Damn, in the end, they'll just push the blame onto us. They get to play the good guys, truly cunning." Afterward, he left with Xing A'ao.
