“Bro, should we call the police?” one of the men asked after he woke up.

“Yes, we must call the police,” said another young man who seemed to be the leader of their group.

“That woman practices Kung Fu,” another person said.

They called the police. Before long, a police officer came. “What happened?”

“Sir, someone attacked us,” the leader of the group said.

“Who attacked you?” the policeman asked.

“A woman. She’s just inside the restaurant,” the leader said.

“A woman attacked you all? One, two three, four, five. Five men?” the policeman asked as he took at glance of them. “Have you been drinking?”

The men had a strong smell of alcohol on them.

“Yes, we did drink, but we were not going to drive. We are all good citizens obeying the traffic law,” said one of the five men who was obviously drunk.

“Shut up!” The leader of group gave him a hard look.

“Well, I’m telling you now that it is also against law to make a false claim,” the policeman said.

“We know. But, look at us! Do we look like we are lying?” the leader asked.

You do look like you are lying, the policeman thought.

He had come across a few similar situations. Several drunk people called the police due to trivial matters. In the end, they got nothing but a lesson from the police officers. To be honest, police officers didn’t like dealing with drunk people. They gave them a big headache.

“Sir, you can take a look at the camera,” one of the men said as he pointed at a camera at the corner with one hand and covered his face with the other hand. The camera happened to face the five men, so the policeman could see what had happened.

“Where is she?” the policeman asked.

“She’s inside. Follow me, please,” the leader said.

After he entered the restaurant, he suddenly didn’t know where to look. The restaurant didn’t look big outside, but it was actually very spacious. It was time for most people to have evening dinner, so it was not easy to find a woman among so many customers.

“Excuse me, may I ask if you’ve seen a woman in her 30s wearing a green top and jeans?” the leader asked the waitress. “She is quite pretty,”

“Yes, she should be in one of the private rooms on the second level,” the waitress said.

“Can you take us there?” the leader asked.

Since she saw the policeman, she was very cooperative.

Chu Lian was sitting in a room opposite Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue’s room. She didn’t shut the door completely so she could see what was happening outside Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue’s room. That was how she spotted the five men, who received a good lesson from her.

Hmm? Footsteps!

“This is the room,” the waitress said.

The door was pushed open. A group of people entered the room and found there was only one person in the room, a pretty woman in her 30s. The woman had ordered several dishes and looked at them with a smile.

“Sir, that’s her,” one of the five men said.

“Be careful, she practices Kung Fu,” another man said.

“Hello, they said you attacked them,” the policeman said.

“Sir, do you believe what they told you?” Chu Lian asked.

“Well…” To be honest, the policeman didn’t really believe the five men.

“Look, how about taking them back to the police station for an interview?” Chu Lian suggested.

“OK, OK… Wait! Why just us?” one of the five men asked.

Beep! Om!

The policeman’s mobile phone rang.

“OK, I see.” He picked up the phone. He turned around and said to the five men whose bodies were still aching, “Well, all of you come with me to the police station. I need a statement from you.”

“OK,” the leader said.

They all followed the policeman downstairs.

“Sir, what about her?” the leader asked.

“Don’t worry about her. Mind your own business,” the policeman said.

“What?!” They all had a bad feeling that they might have offended someone they couldn’t afford to offend.

They went into an interview room right away after they had arrived at the police station. “So, tell me what has happened?”

“We were attacked,” the leader said.

“I know. Why were you attacked?” the policeman asked.

“Well, we just chatted with her for a while and got attacked,” one of the five men said.

“What was the content of your conversation?” the policeman asked.

“Well…” None of the five men wanted to answer the question.

“Say it,” the policeman said.

The five men all kept silent and looked at one another.

“What? You guys all looked so righteous a second ago,” the policeman said.

“Sir, can I make a phone call?” the leader asked.

“Sure, go ahead,” the policeman said.

“Thank you.” The leader left the room to make his call. “Hello, we are in the police station, hurry up, we got attacked by a woman. I know, I’ll buy you dinner after I’m out of here. OK, thank you.”

After the phone call, he thought he could leave the police station very soon, but things didn’t turn out that way.

“Did you have a good think about what you have done,” the policeman asked.

What? Why didn’t the phone call work? The leader was confused.

They were having dinner and happened to see Su Xiaoxue and Chu Lian. They thought they could take advantage of the two women. However, they ended up in the police station. All of them had certain backgrounds. However, their backgrounds didn’t work this time.

Sh*t! the leader thought.

They knew they probably had offended powerful people, so they confessed what had happened to the policeman.

In the restaurant, Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue had finished dinner.

“Shall we take a walk outside?” Wang Yao asked.

“OK,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“Can you show me around?” Wang Yao asked.

“Of course,” Su Xiaoxue said.

Beijing was still very alive at night. Su Xiaoxue was wondering where she should take Wang Yao to.

“Shall we go to the Back Sea?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“OK,” Wang Yao said.

Chu Lian’s car appeared at the right time. She asked, “Where are you going?”

“The Back Sea,” Su Xiaoxue replied.

The Back Sea was a suburb not far from the restaurant they had dinner at. It was often young people’s first choice to go to at night. There were a lot of pubs and restaurants in the Back Sea. The environment was also good.

“I’ll wait for you here. Call me if you need me,” Chu Lian said.

“OK, Auntie Lian,” Su Xiaoxue said.

Wang Yao and Su Xiaoxue walked along the lake. It was not very hot and still a bit cool at night.

“Do you feel cold?” Wang Yao asked.

“No,” Su Xiaoxue said.

She had internal power. Although, unlike Wang Yao, she was still a bit sensitive to the change of weather, she had no problem coping with a little bit of cold weather. She actually felt very comfortable at the moment.

The waiters and waitresses of different restaurants were advertising loudly on the street. Music came out of the restaurants. Young people passed them from time to time. There were groups of young people, as well as couples on the street.

“How is your study going?” Wang Yao asked.

“It’s going well. I’m study business administration,” Su Xiaoxue said.

She was not really keen to study business administration, but the course in Peking University was the best in China.

“What are you going to do after you graduate?” Wang Yao asked.

“Well, I haven’t decided yet,” Su Xiaoxue said with a smile. She had taken a leave from university because of that horrible disease during her second year. She would graduate about a year later. “Do you have any good advice?”

“Me?” Wang Yao asked. He shook his head.

They were chatting while walking and gradually got closer to each other.

“Hmm?” Wang Yao suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Su Xiaoxue asked.

“Nothing,” Wang Yao said. He had noticed Chu Lian was secretly following them.

“Do you want to have a drink inside?” Su Xiaoxue asked when they reached a pub.

“Alcohol?” Wang Yao asked.

“Yeah, I wanna try,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“OK,” Wang Yao said. They went into the pub.

“A pub?” Chu Lian frowned as she stood under a tree not far from the pub.

Before entering the pub, they heard a love song. The lyrics were: You were poor and studying hard when I was in love with you. You got married and became successful when I left you. Can I have one more dance with you?

It was an old song that used to be popular.

“What would you like to drink, Handsome and beautiful?” The bartender was stunned by Su Xiaoxue’s beauty as soon as he saw her.

What a beautiful girl!

It was not hard to spot a good-looking person in a place like Back Sea. He had seen so many pretty girls, but none of those girls compared to Su Xiaoxue. He then took a look at Wang Yao.

Wang Yao was not bad looking, but he didn’t look special, either. Compared to the stunning Su Xiaoxue, he looked clumsy. Maybe he’s from a prestigious family?

“I’m not sure. Dr. Wang?” Su Xiaoxue turned to Wang Yao.

Why does she call him doctor, so weird! the bartender thought.

“Well, can you recommend some drinks to us?” Wang Yao asked.

“Sure, how about a cocktail for this lady? The green grasshopper?” the bartender suggested.

“OK,” Su Xiaoxue said.

“And, a glass of whisky for you?” the bartender asked.

“Sure,” Wang Yao said.

Soon, the bartender placed the drinks in front of them.

“This is my first time to come to a place like this,” Su Xiaoxue said as she took a sip of the drink.

“I’ve been to pubs a few times,” Wang Yao said.

He didn’t like going to pubs now because they were too noisy. In the past, he quite enjoyed having a drink in the pub.
