Liang Ze: …
Spring co scenery is the definition of an April Spring in which all living things on earth are co It had been one week and he did not go see Hang Hang, and Hang Hang did not try to contact hi Ze really missed Ikkyu and he also really e to walk into that courtyard and say ”hello” as if nothing happened
That day, even though they did not say it out loud, they both understood it all too well — it is over between them
Liang Ze really wanted to ask Hang Hang if they could still be friends, but in the end he didn't because every part in his body already knew that it was impossible
While he was staring at the Spring atmosphere around him, he turned his attention to SeHe then looked over to S wheel Ah, in the end, he and Hang Hang still had not coood name for the baby
”Let's call you Adachi Yoshi+ baby, ”Adachi Yoshi+mitsu”
When the phone rang, Liang Ze was still in a daze; it was sitting in front of the book in screensaver mode He picked up the phone, the caller ID: Xie Jin Yan
”hello?” Liang Ze picked up the call, leaning his back against the sofa backrest; his body looked extre like a boneless spine worm
”Liang Ze? Why do you sound so spiritless?”
”I' Ze conveniently replied back
”Oh, ha ha A date has been set for your book release, it is to be expected around mid-June In a few days, a limited number will be pre-released where they will be distributed for promotional purposes”
”Everyone has worked hard”
”Therefore, at the end of this ed for you to do soazines”
”Not interested” interrupted Liang Ze, before Xie Jin Yan could finish what she was saying
Xie Jin Yan did not kno to react to this Liang Ze had never been so uncooperative before Although he was unwilling soht out refused her
”Anything else? If not, then I'll hang up; I'ym now”
”Why don't you want to do interviews?”
”I' with my work, not my face”
After hearing this, Xie Jin Yan had gone mute
Liang Ze did not knohy he was giving Xie Jin Yan so much attitudeHe kneas very rude of him to talk to wo hiood of him to offend Xie Jin Yan, really it was no different than offending the publishi+ng house But so what? What was done was done; at this point there was nothing for him to lose
Liang Ze took his keys and exited the apart by, and occasionally listened to their conversationsHe couldn't understand why he felt likehis life was sofor fun, casually going out to different parties and he should be casually chatting up soht now, he had no interest in doing any of that
When he got to the gye his clothes and then ia class In two more months his o to a different gyym where he would not have to be in a room full of women like this
In this world, there exists a type of person — one who loves to air somebody's dirty laundry
[T/N: to air so somebody else’s weaknesses or secrets]
Coincidentally, the perverted personal trainer was this type of person and he had just walked out of the equip Ze's butt, and noticed that it had becohtness with such a curvy line, that…
With his next action, this person had becohtHe reached out his hand to grope Liang Ze's butt without thinking Actually, he thought of Liang Ze as sorope Liang Ze's buttUsually Liang Ze wouldn't do anything, maybe he would curse at hi Ze noas not the usual Liang Ze, the Liang Ze noas a lost tiger that is hungry and angry…So, Liang Ze's butt now is not the usual Liang Ze's butt; it is actually a tiger's ass
What is that old saying again?
Ah right
A tiger's ass is untouchable
”Yousentence, ”exercise my ass!” was followed by the first punch, ”son of a bitch” was accompanied by the first kick, and so on; the perverted personal trainer did not knoas going on after he was beat a few ti Ze
The unfortunate victim had become even more confused
Actually, you see, you touched his ass when he was in a bad mood, not just once but stroked it up and doice You dare to fight back? You dare to fight back with someone who is not of your level, don't you know that an anxious rabbit would bite back when being touched?
{Translator Note: This whole paragraph is the original author's words to the victimized perverted trainer LOL}
That perverted trainer did respond with a few hard punches back at Liang Ze However, Liang Ze had never adht Why had he never admitted defeat? Because if his opponents had the upper hand, he would not fight them; he would always try to avert the situation The incident today was unexpected, he did not knohy he fought against such a ht, he could not lose it; even if he was to lose, he had to make sure that the other had learned a lesson
Punch after punch was delivered but right when he broke the glass of the fire extinguishers case, he came back to his senses
At thatZe had suisher outLiang Ze proceeded to graciously let the fire extinguisher elegantly greet the perverted macho man's head
After the perverted macho man was hit once he fell, and the expression in his eyes was one of aattacked from behindNeedless to say, with one hit he was knocked out lying flat on the floor
With the the trainer knocked out lying on the floor, the gym receptionist called the police When the police came, the macho man had been carried away by an ambulance
”You hit someone?”
Liang Ze was being withheld in the gym
”Ah, right” He nodded earnestly
”Come” A policeman pressed on his neck
”Hey, you don't need to do thatI'm also very tired, so I won't run awayI will obediently follow you”
The policeht to himself: Aiyo, he is very well behaved
After Liang Ze arrived at the police station, no one paid attention to hi Ze did not complain, he continued to sit there in silence without even feeling tiredHis tiht?
While sitting there, Liang Ze was thinking about his unfinished novel, or ot stuck at Suddenly he was struck with inspiration
”Hey, mister officer, do you happen to have an extra pen and paper?” Liang Ze said while staring at the fathis tea
”Shut up, and sit still”
”Then, do you have the Ze looked over to the female police officer at the next desk
The fe Ze, and then handed him paper and a pen, ”it's useless to write your self-reflection letter now,” she spun her hair, ”just wait until the injury report is out”
”Oh, I' a self-reflection paperI'm not in a rush”
Liang Ze sat in the saes until 9 pm, only then a lanky policeman came over to him, ”the person you beat up just contacted us and he said he will come over in a momentGive me your family contact so I can call them”
”Why? Is there a fine?” Liang Ze looked up, after he had drawn an open period at the end of his last sentence on the paper {Translator Input: in Chinese/japanese writing – they end the sentence with 。instead of ””}, ”If there's a fine, I can pay it myself”
