Chapter 63: The Young Master (1/2)
Lin Yixin and I sat on opposite sides of the table, staring at each other for a moment.
“Say something, please?”
I turned my head away suddenly. The way her beautiful eyes were staring at me made me felt like my thoughts were completely exposed. It was an incredibly uncomfortable feeling.
Instead of answering, Lin Yixin grabbed her handbag and took out a black, rectangular gift box. It looked like it was made of sandalwood, and the workmanship was exquisite.
“What’s this?”
“It’s my gift to you.”
Lin Yixin raised her eyebrows slightly into a smile. “So? I’m a good friend, aren’t I?”
“A gift?”
I put my hand on top of the box and pulled it toward me. Then, I asked, “Can I open it?”
“Mn, do as you please~~” Lin Yixin lazily sucked on a straw of the drink she had ordered moments prior.
……
I checked out the box briefly before opening the cover. A silvery-white smartphone wrapped in silk cloth lay inside the box. It looked like it was of very high quality!
“Hmm…”
I hummed for a moment before asking, “Did you fall for me, Yiyi?”
“Fall for you?” Lin Yixin snorted. “Who the hell do you think you are?”
“Then why are you giving me a smartphone? It looks very expensive too,” I said.
Lin Yixin nodded. “Yeah, Nokia Platinum Phablet TC72 is a limited edition smartphone made from pure platinum. If you look at the screen, you’ll notice that there are diamonds on it. Real diamonds.”
I stared fixedly at the smartphone. “How much does it cost?”
“Hmm…” Lin Yixin thought for a moment before smiling. “It’s over 200000 RMB at least.”
I weighed the smartphone in my hands and found it quite heavy, so I said, “This brick of a phone can literally wear out a pocket. Only an idiot would use something like this…”
Lin Yixin couldn’t suppress her laugh. “Exactly! Only an idiot would buy a phone like this!”
……
Suddenly, we heard an exclamation of surprise. It came from none other than that handsome youngster who was celebrating his birthday, “Young Master Le”!
Young Master Le looked incredibly excited by our presence. Holding a wine glass in his hand, he immediately walked over in a straight line and smiled modestly at Lin Yixin. “I didn’t think you would come, Yiyi. Didn’t say you weren’t going to participate in my—”
Lin Yixin cut him off immediately. “Li Le, who do you think you are? How dare you call me Yiyi! Also, I’m here to eat supper with him, not to join your birthday party.”
Li Le was stumped for words for a second before he looked at me. He also noticed the platinum smartphone in my hand.
“Okay then, classmate!” Li Le suddenly smiled as a trace of jealousy rose in his eyes. “This TC72 is my gift to you, so… why did you give it to something like him?”
Ahem, this fucking snob. So what if I’m wearing a Semir T-shirt and a pair of fake leather shoes?
Lin Yixin replied indifferently, “Li Le, you said it yourself; this is your gift to me. In that case, I can do whatever I want with it, can’t I? I told you very clearly this morning that I don’t care about your gift at all, but you just had to give me this TC72. So, I have no choice but to give it to someone else.”
“But… t-that smartphone costs 240000 RMB…”
Li Le stuttered with widened eyes before he turned to glare at me. He said angrily, “Boy, you’ll return it to her if you know what’s good for you! Do you really think someone like you is worthy of this smartphone?”
I couldn’t help but smile at his comment. Unafraid by his threat, I stood up and towered over him with my superior height. I replied, “You’re right, this TC72 is pretty but useless. I don’t think I deserve a piece of trash like this myself. Even my counterfeit smartphone has more functions than this shit!”
While speaking, I slipped the expensive smartphone into my pocket.
Li Le saw exactly what I was doing, so he exclaimed angrily, “Then why are you keeping it to yourself!?”
“That’s because I’m planning to give it to someone else. Is there a problem?” I retorted with ease. There was nothing fake behind my smile at all, and clearly I wasn’t the fool Li Le thought me to be.
“You!”
Li Le didn’t say anything after that. He went back to his seat with a look of hatred on his face, a couple of his followers following behind him.
A while later, I complained, “I wonder what’s taking the restaurant so long…”
Lin Yixin nodded. “Yeah.”
It was at this moment a waitress close to Li Le and his people’s tables suddenly let out a surprised scream. I saw everything. One of Li Le’s friend, a young man who dyed his hair red had copped a feel of the waitress’s butt, and the girl, despite being furious, dared not take it out on her customer because she was young and inexperienced. She looked to be only about twenty years old.
The drunkards grew even bolder, and one of them pushed the waitress from behind. She was groped the second she toppled into another drunkard’s lap.
“Wh… what are you doing??”
The waitress screamed and ran away after struggling out of her molestor’s grasp. However, the waitress was beautiful, and Li Le’s gang was bolder than I thought. The redhead actually started chasing the waitress sloppily while the rest of the gang cheered. “Take her, Young Master Feng, take her! You go man!”
I frowned. Do they think they own this place or something? They weren’t the only guests in Land of Sweet Dreams.
It was at this moment Lin Yixin rose to her feet and kicked a chair straight at the redhead. The chair hit the redhead squarely on the leg and caused him to faceplant on the ground. His nose started bleeding as he struggled to climb back to his feet. It was a sorry sight.
I thought “oh no” inside my head. Lin Yixin’s heroism might have just put us in the line of fire
“Stay out of this, Lin Yixin!” Li Le rushed over and yelled.
Not faltering in the slightest, Lin Yixin raised her eyebrows and said, “Li Le, you and your friends are truly the scum of society. Don’t you agree, Lu Chen?”
I nodded in agreement. “Yeah, more or less…”
Furious, Li Le clenched his fists and attacked us suddenly. He swung his glass in an attempt to splash us in wine.
However, I was faster than he was. I raised my hand and swept his arm away with lightning speed.
Slap!
