The group arrived at the hot pot restaurant.
The food lovers' instincts awakened. As soon as the dishes were served, everyone started eating happily.
"Wow, this is so delicious. I'm tired of the art troupe's food."
Everyone agreed with this comment from the foodie.
Jiang Hua ladled a bowl of soup for each of them, saying:
"Eat up. After we finish, I'll take you to the amusement park."
This ignited everyone's enthusiasm.
It had been a long time since they'd been to an amusement park.
Qingqing sighed, "Jiang Hua, you're so nice. If you leave, I'll miss you."
"Tsk tsk tsk, don't say such unlucky things, young lady. How could I leave?"
Qingqing quickly explained, "No, I meant leaving the art troupe."
"Look at you, you can write songs, write scripts, you'll be famous soon and go make big money."
Jiang Hua took a sip of soup. All the girls were watching him.
They wanted to know Jiang Hua's true thoughts.
Although Jiang Hua had only been there for a few weeks, they had been together constantly rehearsing the new play, laughing and crying together.
As one of the few males in the troupe, Jiang Hua took good care of everyone, despite his young age.
He had a mature man's wit and humor. It was normal to be reluctant to part.
Jiang Hua smiled, "Leave? Where would I go? I've been banned from the entertainment industry. Besides, it's nice here. Don't worry, I won't leave."
"That's good. We want to be together forever."
Haha, this little girl amused Jiang Hua. Together forever?
Sister, aren't you going to get married?
But this was indeed a problem. Having a man like him around them every day,
Their standards for men would unconsciously rise. There weren't many men in the world as excellent as him.
If they couldn't get married later, who would they blame?
At this moment, several men in tank tops walked out, their bodies covered in tattoos, reeking of alcohol.
The bald man in front, with a fleshy face, passed by Jiang Hua's table.
He casually glanced at Li Yunxiao and the others, then said drunkenly, "Beautiful ladies, add my WeChat?"
The girls were startled.
Jiang Hua stood up and said, "Brother, I'm sorry, but my sisters are shy around strangers. Please leave."
This was already very polite. He didn't want to cause trouble.
But the man persisted, trying to grab Li Yunxiao, who was sitting on the outside.
Jiang Hua pushed his hand away, saying, "Please leave."
He secretly turned on his phone's video recording function and passed it to Junjun, who was braver.
Junjun immediately understood. Although the hot pot restaurant had surveillance, there was no guarantee it was working properly.
The bald man immediately became impatient and pushed Jiang Hua.
"Who the f**k are you? Get lost. Do you know who I am? I'm Dragon Brother of Hangzhou."
He then tried to hug Yunxiao.
Jiang Hua quickly shielded her behind him and shouted:
"I'm warning you, stay away from us."
This caught the attention of everyone in the restaurant. It was dinner time, and the hot pot place was quite crowded.
The bald man felt his authority challenged and threw a punch.
This ignited the battle. Damn it, my grandfather fought from the Republic to Korea, and my father participated in the Laoshan border conflict.
I've been strictly trained by my father since childhood. Why was Jiang Hua angry when he entered the entertainment industry?
It was because he wanted Jiang Hua to join the army, which led to their minimal contact for 5 years.
Jiang Hua ducked and sidestepped, then delivered an iron mountain lean, sending the bald man flying.
Seeing their boss beaten, the others rushed forward. Jiang Hua faced five opponents, each move deadly.
In battle, the key is to incapacitate the opponent as quickly as possible.
However, being outnumbered, Jiang Hua also took some hits.
But the price the opponents paid was much higher. All five were lying on the ground.
The scene was a mess.
Jiang Hua calmly walked to the "Dragon Brother," squatted down, and patted his face.
"So you're the f**king Dragon Brother, huh? Call out now. Why aren't you calling? Don't drink a little cat piss and forget your own name."
The "Dragon Brother" was scared. Even five men couldn't take down this young man. He knew he had messed with the wrong person today.
Even a hero knows when to back down.
Someone shouted, "The police are coming!"
Everyone was taken away.
This worried the girls terribly.
"Will we get a warning from the troupe?"
Jiang Hua put his phone in his pocket and glanced at Junjun.
She nodded. He trusted the skills of the Yue Opera troupe's photographer.
With this as evidence, it was clearly self-defense.
"Oh no, Jiang Hua, you're bleeding!"
"It's nothing, just from hitting the other guy. Damn, if I were a few years younger, they'd have left on stretchers today."
Everyone quickly tended to Jiang Hua's wounds, making the police officers in front quite envious.
...
At the police station, Director Cai walked in.
She saw Jiang Hua was intact, just with a few footprints on his clothes.
The girls were sitting beside him, talking about something.
Well, she worried for nothing. She had been thinking of finding him a wife.
Now, the three beauties of Little Hundred Flowers were almost being taken away. Leave him alone for three days, and he'd be up to mischief.
Seeing Director Cai enter, Jiang Hua immediately grinned foolishly, "Director, you're here. It was self-defense."
"Hmph, why aren't you leaving? Planning to have dinner here?"
Being led out of the police station by the leader felt quite uncomfortable.
The girls followed behind, heads lowered, still shaken.
Director Cai said angrily, "Jiang Hua, I didn't expect this from you."
Jiang Hua quickly explained, "It really was self-defense. Director, if there's to be punishment, just punish me alone."
"Am I talking about that? Look at you. Instead of resting properly on your day off, you took our troupe's treasures out. No wonder Qingqing and the others wanted to rest together."
"I won't dare next time."
"Next time? You're thinking of a next time?"
What a strict leader. Jiang Hua could only smile apologetically. What could he do? He had to coax his own boss.
A good day ruined just like that. He had been planning to record songs in the evening.
Now he could only obediently go back and eat takeout.
Li Yunxiao quietly asked, "Jiang Hua, are you hungry? I have chocolate."
Her nickname "Pocket" wasn't for nothing. She always had snacks in her pockets.
Back at the dorm, Jiang Hua took a shower, wearing only pants.
This body had been neglected for three years. It really needed exercise. He had been too busy lately, recovery was slow.
If it were his peak physical condition from his previous life, those guys wouldn't have gotten near him.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and there was a scream from outside.
Li Yunxiao quickly covered her eyes, not daring to look at him.
"Oh my, Jiang Hua, why aren't you wearing a shirt?"
Jiang Hua hurriedly put on a shirt and asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
She slowly parted her fingers, peeking through a small gap, then lowered her hand and said:
"Junjun ordered takeout. She wants you to come eat together. We didn't eat this afternoon."
