Chapter 519 (1/2)
“Dear Lady Zhao, please enlighten me. How did you ward him off? He was trying so hard too, it must have been hard to lie to him!” Su Li curiously asked.
“He is just another fraud, another weirdo guy trying to act normal. I did nothing. He was as interested in this date as you are, he probably hates it just as much. He was only doing it for the sake of humanity and his parents and whatnot. He has no desires of his own to speak of,” Zhao Youyue explained.
Su Li remained in stunned silence, trying to wrap her mind around the weirdness of her date. It was not something worth remembering anyway. Such creatures lurked under the skins of men all over the place.
“Humans should always seek a purpose of their own. Dreams are above and beyond love and family. We are not animals who live only to breed. We think therefore we are, and that is why we have dreams.” Su Li said, almost carefully.
“That is extremely selfish. If everybody thinks that way, this world would end up in disaster. But you are right. That’s how you live in bliss. It is better to indulge in our own passion than live a painful existence of falsehoods,” Zhao Youyue replied.
How should people spend their lives in this world? It had always been a sophisticated yet straightforward question with no fixed answers. Some did not even see a point in asking such a question.
That was a blessing in itself.
Zhao Youyue and Su Li left the cafe. Lo and behold, the power of attraction happened right there. As the hero in her latest gaming broadcasts, the duos found themselves in a scene that only existed in novels.
Three street thugs approached Zhao Youyue and Su Li and surrounded them in an alley. They looked like the stereotypical thug, even smelling like them. It’s a shame they did not have mohawks.
“Hey little missus, care to join us in our game?” The leader of the thugs walked up and said.
Modern thugs were not often this bold. It took a lot of guts for them to speak to a girl…
Lady Zhao’s mighty aura seemed to repress them, if a little. They seemed awkwardly defensive.
Excitement streamed through Zhao Youyue’s blood as she zoned in on the defensive thugs. She could almost feel her staff dancing in her hand. Without hesitation, she snarled, “Get lost, scumbag!”
Zhao Youyue apprehensively awaited for their move…
Su Li went pale. Did she just pick a fight with three grown men?
Hiding in the shadows was Hu Xiaotian, clutching his baseball bat. This was the long-awaited moment for him to rescue the damsels in distress!
