It was noon, and the whole world was like a giant oven.
The sun was the charcoal, and the earth was the roasting chamber.
Wang Hao walked down the street looking for a job, his mood for humming tunes long gone, replaced by the urge to curse.
He glanced down at the newspaper he had just picked up from the ground; it was all junk ads, not a single piece of useful information.
As Wang Hao turned onto another street, intending to find some shade under a large tree and take a good rest, he saw people quarreling up ahead.
Suddenly, under the big willow tree ahead, he saw a group of young hooligans surrounding a young girl, shoving her around.
A guy with silver earrings, holding his chest, said, "Beauty, you shattered my heart; don't you think you should compensate me?"
Hearing this, the young girl realized she had encountered a rogue.
But she was a delicate girl who had never faced such a situation before and was immediately frightened out of her wits.
Just as she was at a loss, the earring-wearing youth who had been clutching his heart was suddenly bumped into.
The person who bumped him was, of course, Wang Hao.
Before the earring youth could get angry, Wang Hao took the offensive.
"Ouch, you hit my lung. Compensate me quick!"
Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, the earring youth was visibly stunned.
"Hit your lung? You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
Wang Hao shrugged his shoulders and spoke earnestly, "If she can break your heart, why can't you hit my lung?"
As Wang Hao spoke, the earring youth became furious on the spot.
"You little brat, daring to meddle in my business. Are you tired of living?"
As he spoke, he suddenly swung his fists towards Wang Hao.
Wang Hao simply smiled, handled it casually, and directly grabbed the fist the earring youth swung at him.
Then, he forcefully twisted it.
"Crack!"
The crisp sound of breaking bones echoed in the air.
The earring youth howled in pain.
His companions wanted to step forward, but Wang Hao glared at them and they all shrank back, too scared to make another move.
Seeing this, the earring youth realized he had met his match this time.
"Bro, you must be a martial artist, right? Could I have your name?"
Wang Hao arched an eyebrow and asked, "What, are you planning on seeking revenge?"
The earring youth quickly shook his head like a rattle drum, saying, "No way, no way!"
Wang Hao snorted with a smile, "Heh, even if you wanted revenge, I'm not afraid. I'd never change my name or surname; Wang Hao is who I am!"
"Remember, it's the 'Wang' as in 'king or noble,' and 'Hao' as in 'bright moon.' Don't get it wrong, you hear me?"
"Heard you, heard you..." The earring youth quickly responded and then hurriedly ran off.
The young girl approached with a hint of shyness, thanking him, "Thank you, uncle. My name is Ye Zixuan, a student at Donghua University!"
When Ye Zixuan came up calling him uncle, Wang Hao immediately had a face full of dismay.
But, seeing that she was quite beautiful, he forgave her anyway!
Wang Hao smiled slightly and said with a carefree tone, "Ye Zixuan, right? It's fine now; go home!"
Seeing that Wang Hao was holding a newspaper that looked like job postings, Ye Zixuan ventured to ask, "Uncle, are you looking for a job?"
Wang Hao nodded and replied, "Yes, what about it, is there a problem?"
