Three days since the incident of Iron Fist Martial House
Miao Miao Noodles Shop had born anew, they had bought new tables and chairs, getting a new glass for the window, and even Han Ying also changed the interior wallpaper. Miao Miao Noodles Shop appeared in a new and refreshing atmosphere.
Han Ying and Hong Yu took the mess caused by the members of Iron Fist Martial House to furbish up the shop interior. Even the menu on the top of the counter also got renewed.
Han Ying and Hong Yu got everything ready to reopen the shop. However, the incident of Iron Fist Martial House caused great harm to the shop's reputation.
Yes, after reopening the shop two days ago, Miao Miao Noodles Shop was void from the customers. The booming business they experienced in the last week now withered. The main cause was the post in a forum that Yao Yao showed them three days ago.
The post with the title "Handsome Brutal Savage" was the main reason. At least Hong Yu and Heero had the same thought regarding their deserted noodles shop.
The post was telling how savage and brutal the waiter of the Miao Miao Noodles Shop, in exaggerating way at that. It told the waiter crippled one of their customers' hands and also broke the other nine customers' hands.
That part was the truth. However, the post was faking the reason the waiter had to cripple and broke these ten people. These ten people were not customers, yet the post told these ten men were the customers of the noodles shop.
The post recounted that the waiter fought because one from the ten customers tried to tease the beautiful cashier by touching the beautiful cashier's hand. The waiter was angry and argued to the man who teased the beautiful cashier's hand.
Later, the man who touched the beautiful cashier's hand fought with the waiter. The fight ended with the waiter crippling the man who touched the beautiful cashier's hand. The friend of the crippled man's friend got angry then a big fight broke.
The post stated the waiter was a former member of a martial house. So the fight ended with the waiter broke the crippled man's friend hands. The post was telling how despicable the waiter was, bullying the powerless customers.
It summarized the super long post written in a personal forum of "JusticeMan". JusticeMan was a celebrity forum as he was quite famous in Star Forum, an official website forum of Star City.
At the end of the post, JusticeMan put the name of Miao Miao Noodles Shop along with the complete address. JusticeMan was telling to the readers of his post to not visit this black shop, less they would get their hands broken by the waiter of Miao Miao Noodles Shop.
JusticeMan's post hit 20 million views in just three days. Many people who read the post cursed Heero for being merciless over trivial matters. Heero's name tainted because of this post.
Some people commented to not believe the post. However, such comments were only a few and easily flooded down by Heero's haters. Instead, the people who tried to stand up for Heero were flamed. Yao Yao was one person who tried to stand for Heero but failed miserably.
Yes, after finding out the truth behind the "Handsome Brutal Savage" incident. Yao Yao immediately took on Heero's side. She believed in Hong Yu's story rather than some random forum celebrity.
She tried to clarify the truth but to no avail. Instead, she was flamed by many people who trusted JusticeMan's post. Yao Yao posted a new thread, but her thread immediately filled with the comments of the haters.
Heero's reputation was doomed. There was no way he could clean his name in a short time. Hong Yu and Heero believed this JusticeMan caused Miao Miao Noodles Shop losing their customers.
Hong Yu and Heero were sitting behind the cashier counter with their head lied down on the counter. Heero looked lifeless while staring at Hong Yu's face.
Heero looked bored as he had nothing to do, but Hong Yu was not. Her obsidian-like eyes stared at Heero's face, sparkling as she never bored to gaze at her boyfriend's face. Heero with his new hairstyle dashing.
Yes, Hong Yu forced Heero to have his hair cut at the barbershop she recommended. A short but defined fringe into the front of his hair which also took on elements of a tapered haircut whereby the fade from the sides was slightly tapered. In Hong Yu's eyes, Heero looked splendid in his current hairstyle.
Kring! Kring! Kring!
The door's bell resounded which was disturbing Hong Yu. Heero immediately stood up as he thought it was the customer.
"Welcome to Miao Miao Noodles Shop…"
Heero stopped his greeting when the customer entered the shop was Butcher Wang instead of the other customers. He was disappointed and stopped the greeting. He did not bother to ask Butcher Wang what he wanted to eat.
Heero sat back and had his head laid down on the cashier counter. He preferred to look at his cute and pretty girlfriend rather than looking at the bearded Butcher Wang.
"Oy Oy Oy, I am also a customer. The customer is a King, you should serve me well. What's with your half-hearted greeting." Butcher Wang said in irritation as he walked to the counter.
Lately, Heero was not as polite as their first meeting. Greeting him with a big smile each time they met and polite at his every word. Yet now, to be more exact in the last three days, Heero was no longer Heero he knew. Butcher Wang was grumbling as he ordered his favorite noodle, Sweet and Spicy Noodle.
Right after Butcher Wang ordered his noodle, the door opened once again.
Kring! Kring! Kring!
Heero stood once again. This time he did not start with his greeting as he was surprised to see who entered the shop. A man with his face cloistered with white gauze, leaving only mouth, nose, and eyes. The gauzed man also held a stick to help him walk.
Heero found this man's build somewhat similar to the person he knew. Then, there was another person entered the shop and Heero found out who was this gauze man. He was Sun Zhou Yi and his girlfriend followed him.
Heero recognized the girl. She was Xiao Xi, Sun Zhou Yi's girlfriend.
"Brother Xing~" the gauze man called. His voice weak and a bit hoarse, but Heero recognized whose voice it was. Without a doubt, the gauze man was Sun Zhou Yi.
Xiao Xi followed Sun Zhou Yi bashfully as she called Heero with her small voice yet also soft, "Brother Xing~"
Heero stood up and said, "Wait here a moment."
After that, Heero went upstairs, leaving Sun Zhou Yi in a daze. Meanwhile, Xiao Xi called Hong Yu, "Sister Hong~"
Hong Yu and Xiao Xi was an acquaintance, so she was not as embarrassed as she greeted Heero.
Butcher Wang also turned around and was surprised when he saw the gauze Sun Zhou Yi.
"Little Sun, you should have stayed at home. You haven't fully recovered yet," Butcher Wang advised in a concerned tone.
"I am fine Uncle Wang. I am a bit stuffed at home, I am taking a walk to get fresh air," Sun Zhou Yi replied with a weak smile.
Hong Yu led the couple to the nearest table and went to the kitchen. She was taking the water from the kitchen for the couple. At the same time Hong Yu put the glass on the table, Heero came down. He was bringing a bottle filled with a mixed mashed herb.
Heero put the bottle on the table as he took a seat across Sun Zhou Yi.
"Here you are, a medication for your external wounds. Just soaked the medication with a hot towel and paste it to your wounds. You will get better in two days."
Yes, Heero was taking his medication from his log cabin for Sun Zhou Yi. He indebted to this honest and upright young man. If not for Sun Zhou Yi helped Hong Yu and Han Ying, stalling the members of Iron Fist Martial House from taking the two sisters. He might not come in time.
"Heh, Heero, why don't you sell your medication instead of working here? You might be getting "famous," Butcher Wang commented sarcastically. Butcher Wang still did not believe in Heero's medicine.
"Just ignore that bearded uncle. You will get healed in three days if you follow my instructions. It will be painful though, so you have to bear it." Heero added as he ignored Butcher Wang's sarcasm.
Sun Zhou Yi nodded and took the slightly bigger bottle.
"So, why do you come here? Don't tell me you want to have a bowl of noodles? You should stay at home and get proper rest." Heero asked in curiosity.
Sun Zhou Yi shook his head and bowed his head until almost touched the table, "I still can't noodles yet. I come here to express my gratitude to you, Brother Xing. Thank you for saving Xiao Xi and me."
Xiao Xi also bowed her head toward Heero. This was the couple's purpose to the noodles shop.
"Nah, it's okay, you also have my gratitude. If not for you, the bastards of Iron Fist Martial House will take Hong Yu away," Heero returned with a bow, following by Hong Yu as well.
That was right, during the time Iron Fist Martial House made a ruckus in the shop, only Sun Zhou Yi stood for the two sisters. The others were busy running away as they did not want to get involved. Avoiding the two sisters like a plague.
"Argh!" Sun Zhou let out a pained groan as he tried to reach his neck. He was getting embarrassed when Heero and Hong Yu bowed their heads toward him.
"Don't be like this, Brother Xing. It's my duty as a hero to protect Sister Han Ying and Hong Yu. You don't have to be like this."
Heero shook his head and commented, "Sadly, you are the only one who is thinking like this, not the other heroes."
Sun Zhou Yi and Xiao Xi had a confused expression as both heard Heero's words.
Only Hong Yu, Han Ying, and Butcher Wang understood Heero's words. That night, there was another hero witnessed how overbearing Iron Fist Martial House was. However, that hero only watched everything unfold despite having the power to stop all of that to happen.
The atmosphere turned a bit down afterward. Even Butcher Wang let out a sigh in disappointment and stopped listening to the conversation.
Sun Zhou Yi and Xiao Xi we clueless, but there was something Sun Zhou Yi wanted to say, but he was hesitating. After a moment, the unranked Wood Class Hero spoke in an uncertain tone.
"Brother Xin, actually, I have other purposes besides expressing my gratitude to you. I have a selfish request, I wonder if Brother Xing wants to hear my selfish request?"
"Speak! I will help if it's in my capability!" Heero gave an immediate answer.
"Hmmmm…" Sun Zhou Yi still hesitated. After a brief pause, he stood up and bowed his toward Heero.
"Brother Xing! Please take me as your disciple!" Sun Zhou Yi
Spurt!
Butcher Wang who was enjoying his noodles spewed out the noodles in his mouth out.
