“I agree . Shi Shaochuan can't be compared to Oppa Long here . Tianze can beat him to a pulp within seconds . When we were younger, Tianze had put in a great ton of effort on Qingyue . It's a shame she did not reciprocate,” said Ling Ciye as he sat cross-legged and began browsing through a book .
Long Tianze pushed him playfully and said, “Mind your words, what do you mean I put in a great ton of effort on Qingyue? You're making it sound like I was in love with her . ”
Ling Ciye closed the book he was holding and looked up . “Hey, that wasn't what I meant at all, you're the one who's overthinking it, yet you're blaming me . However, you're my best buddy whom I grew up with, and I can't help but worry for you . You're already this old and you still don't have a proper girlfriend . All you do is date random girls frivolously, to put up a front . Seriously, when do you plan to lose your chastity?”
Amused by his words, An Xiaoning almost choked and spat her milk out .
Long Tianze began to blush in embarrassment while still trying to defend himself . “I've dated plenty of women in the past . More than you can count with your fingers and toes . ”
“Yeah, right . That's what you always say . We know . Point is, when are you going to lose your virginity?”
Long Tianze closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep .
“You're always like this . Strangely, you haven't been meeting those models lately,” said Ling Ciye .
“Who said so? I'll bring a prettier one tonight, just you wait and see . ”
“Sure, I'll see if she's really that gorgeous, then . ”
It began to snow heavily in the evening, causing the temperature to drop even lower, as if it wasn't already cold enough .
Seeing that there were no more potential customers on the street, Mei Yangyang packed up and closed the store, leaving Xu Jingwen and Zhang Li to watch over it .
As soon as she arrived home by bus, she was greeted with the sight of a spread of dishes on the table, prepared by her father . “Shuangshuang came home this afternoon and asked me for money . I didn't give her any, so she threw a tantrum and left angrily . ”
“She doesn't take her studies seriously, and her attendance in university is so poor . All she does is fool around outside all day . If she doesn't wish to continue studying, then she should just get a job, it's at least better than wasting her life away like this . She's not getting any younger either . ”
“It's not like she listens to us . We can't quite interfere with her matters anymore now that she's all grown up . Actually, she could also stay at home to take care of your mother while I go out to work to earn some money . That'll help lighten your burden . I feel really bad that you have to shoulder the burden of providing for the family all by yourself,” sighed Mr . Mei .
Mei Yangyang picked up her chopsticks and said in response, “I'm currently working at Sis Xiaoning's clothing store and it's really great . Sis Xiaoning is so nice to me, and she treats me like her actual sister . Never once has she ill-treated or taken advantage of me . Father, don't worry too much, just focus on taking care of Mother . I'm earning enough to support our family and foot Mother's medical bills too . ”
“That's not my main concern, but rather, you've already grown up and you're of a marriageable age now . I'm just afraid we will become a heavy burden to you and your potential future husband . He would have to provide for not only you but us too . ”
“I'm still young, there's still a long way to go before that happens . Well, at most, I'll remain unmarried for the rest of my life, no big deal . There's no such thing as 'my burden . ' Father, let's just spend our lives the way they are, for now . We'll worry about the rest when the time comes in the future . Come here, let's tuck in . ”
“Go out and look for Shuangshuang again later . I'm really worried that something might happen to her . She's a girl, after all . How about you stay at home to look after your mother and I'll go look for her instead?” Mr . Jin said .
“I'll go . I have the contact number of a few of her classmates . Perhaps they might have a clue about where she is . ”
“That'll do, too . ”
After dinner, Mei Yangyang was stopped by her father just as she was about to begin doing the dishes . He asked her to go look for Mei Shuangshuang instead . Thus, she had no choice but to leave in her scooter and call each of Mei Shuangshuang's classmates, one by one . However, the latter's whereabouts were still unknown .
An idea struck Mei Yangyang's mind, and she proceeded to find Mei Shuangshuang's MySpace account . She then added the users who had commented on the latter's posts and finally managed to obtain some information about her whereabouts .
Mei Yangyang did not ask them about her directly . Instead, she asked about where they were at and if Mei Shuangshuang was around, while remaining anonymous at first . However, they constantly asked about her identity, to which she replied in the end, “Her sister . ”
She quickly rode towards the largest entertainment nightclub in the city .
Having arrived, she parked her scooter in a parking spot along the entrance and entered the nightclub, with her bag slung across her shoulder and wearing a mask .
She arrived at the third floor of the nightclub via the elevator and realized that there were a significant number of rooms . She quickly sent a message to Mei Shuangshuang's classmate to ask for their room number, only to realize that she had already been blocked .
Mei Yangyang stood by the elevator landing helplessly . She had only two options: one was to search every single room, one by one, for Mei Shuangshuang; the other was to just stay there and wait .
Searching the rooms one by one would be rather inappropriate, though it was indeed the quicker option . After all, she was a girl and it would be hard to escape should she get herself into trouble while searching the rooms .
After giving it some thought, Mei Yangyang lowered her cap and adjusted her face mask in order to conceal more of her face, then she stood leaning against the wall .
She decided to stay and wait for Mei Shuangshuang to appear . Mei Yangyang would drag her home as soon as she did .
” Ding …” went the elevator as it's doors opened . A tall man strode out of the elevator, with three gorgeous women beside him . They were clad in feather dresses, which exposed their thighs, and wore boots .
“Everyone here is a big figure, you'd better behave yourselves and put up a good front . Be mindful of your etiquettes and you'll get your money, for sure,” the tall man said to the women .
They followed behind him and nodded abidingly . Mei Yangyang stopped looking at them as soon as they entered a room not too far away .
She began to feel rather anxious and panicky while waiting . However, she had no choice but to wait patiently .
After two entire hours had passed, a door opened and Mei Yangyang exited with her classmates in a single file . Mei Yangyang went forward and grabbed Mei Shuangshuang at the instant that she saw her, despite her legs being sore and achy from all the standing . “Come home with me,” she ordered .
“How did you know I was here?” Mei Shuangshuang asked in confusion .
“Nevermind that, just come home with me . Let's go,” Mei Yangyang said sternly as she dragged her along with much force .
“Why are you guys still standing there? Hurry, get my sister away from here,” Mei Shuangshuang yelled at her friends in a bid to urge them to save her . A few men came forward and pulled the two apart, and Mei Shuangshuang quickly snuck inside the elevator . The men hurriedly followed suit, and one of them kicked Mei Yangyang mercilessly as soon as he saw her approaching, causing her to fall onto the ground . Clutching her stomach in pain, she stood up and quickly zoomed down the stairs .
She finally reached the bottom of the stairs and fortunately found that they had not gone too far yet .
She sped up and quickly chased after them, feeling furious and embarrassed at the same time . As soon as she caught up, she grabbed the man who had kicked her by his hoodie and clawed at his face . The man was caught off guard and winced in pain . At the next instant, he instinctively turned around and kicked Mei Yangyang .
Mei Yangyang retrieved the narrow whip she had prepared in her bag and began lashing it at the three men . She was red with fury . Her doll-like face was twisted into an angry frown .
A crowd began to gather around the commotion on the first storey . However, no one stepped in to stop the fight, despite it involving a single woman who was outnumbered by three men . Instead, they simply continued to watch the scene before them nonchalantly . Mei Shuangshuang was taken aback by the sight of the whip, for it had never occurred to her that her sister would bring that along . She began to wonder in fear and astonishment if Mei Yangyang had intended to punish her with the whip .
