"But... you didn't actually beat up Ma Zhihao, did you?"
"You just need to protect yourself at school, and don't worry about anything else."
"Mmm." Tang Huai tugged on Jing Xuan's belt, "Scorpions can come out anytime and anywhere now, you don't have to worry about me."
Jing Xuan's lips lifted, and the smile in his eyes grew thicker, "I always knew Tang Huai was great; you can take good care of yourself without me."

Back at the catering store.
Yang Jinghai had already prepared a late-night snack for Tang Huai and Gu Jiajia.
It was now ten o'clock. In the city, ten o'clock at night was the peak time for people to be out and about.
Many factory workers were getting off work at this time.
The catering store's business was as booming as ever.
The late-night snack for Tang Huai was salty pork bone congee.
Yang Jinghai cut the ribs into small pieces, then marinated them with sesame oil, salt, and soy sauce from morning till evening.
