CHAPTER 946: CHAPTER 549: IT’S NOTHING (2)

At this moment, Guo Kunnan really missed Jiang Ning.

Wu Yunzhi looked at Guo Kunnan’s cowardly demeanor, stepped closer, reached out, patted Guo Kunnan’s head, and smiled broadly:

"Apologies should have some sincerity, right?"

He spat out four words: "Kneel and apologize!"

At the same time, laughter burst from behind, and the fat guy took out his phone, turned on the camera, getting ready to record.

Guo Kunnan’s face didn’t look good, but he forced himself to hold back:

"Bro, isn’t this a bit much? Besides, we don’t have any beef, right?"

Who could have thought that just after a single encounter, the guy would come to the playground at night to block them, holding such a grudge seems a bit excessive, doesn’t it?

Wu Yunzhi sneered: "No beef? Weren’t you all high and mighty when you had that bear make a move?"

"And, do you know how uncomfortable your confession made Lan Zichen feel?"

"Of course, the biggest reason is that I just want to stomp on you guys, any problem with that?"

Wu Yunzhi spoke plainly, not considering a few of them worth his attention.

His family was in the mining business, his father and uncle domineered the local area, and although he came from a township, his family assets had long surpassed a billion.

Handsome in appearance, top grades, and even the champion of the middle school debating competition, being called a favored son of heaven was not an overstatement.

His privileged background made him generous, his father’s backing made him arrogant, and his high status meant he couldn’t tolerate even a hint of humiliation.

Today, having his face slapped by Dan Kaiquan and the others, Wu Yunzhi immediately paid them back in double.

Dan Kaiquan knew that the arrogance of these people was unreasonable.

Back when he was in elementary school, playing on the playground, he was inexplicably kicked by an older kid.

Dan Kaiquan stared at Wu Yunzhi, constantly telling himself in his heart that when they got surrounded, he’d catch this guy and beat him to a pulp.

Dan Kaiquan scoffed: "Apologize, you think you’re worthy?"

"Once you kneel and apologize, you’ll know if you’re worthy." Wu Yunzhi waved his hand, and the group closed in tighter.

Hu Jun remained silent, with one hand in his pocket, he had already crushed the sachet hidden there, a faint scent carried away by the breeze, unnoticed by anyone.

’Soon, soon.’ Hu Jun thought to himself.

A gentleman doesn’t stand under a dangerous wall, Hu Jun never got his hands dirty, too lacking in style for him.

’Alright, here it comes.’

A not-so-big, not-so-small stray dog wandered close, sniffing around, swaying side to side.

The dog looked ugly, its fur clumped and dirty, even dog lovers wouldn’t want to approach it.

Wu Yunzhi ordered his men to start hitting people, the fat guy and little yellow hair rolled up their sleeves, ready to take care of Dan Kaiquan.

At this moment, a stray dog awkwardly strolled into the scene.

The chubby guy with a fierce face, to boost morale, and show off his ’strength’, shouted loudly:

"Fuck!"

He kicked, sending the stray dog flying, tracing an arc in the air.

The stray dog landed with a whimper, tucking its tail and running away.

"Hahaha!" The fat guy laughed arrogantly, as if he had accomplished something magnificent.

He looked at the three of Dan Kaiquan, beckoning with his fingers, tauntingly saying: "I hit you guys like I hit dogs!"

The people beside him laughed cruelly.

Hu Jun spoke, "He who brings trouble upon himself cannot escape death."

"What?"

Suddenly, amidst the deep night, countless green lights flickered, these lights bounced and got closer!

Wu Yunzhi finally saw those green lights clearly, they were from over a dozen stray dogs, some black, some gray-brown, some spotted, their faces menacing, eyes gleaming in the dark.

Immediately, Wu Yunzhi’s soul was scared silly.

A pack of stray dogs rushed closer, snarling and biting towards Little Yellow and his buddies.

"Beasts, fuck, beasts!" The fat guy kicked wildly, but then two more stray dogs lunged at him.

Hu Jun pulled Dan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan back ten meters.

Guo Kunnan stared at the scene incredulously, cursing: "This damn, this damn!"

He suddenly remembered the wildlife programs, where hyenas hunt, and these seven seemed just like prey being hunted.

The snarling of stray dogs, ferocious barking, the men’s rage, screams, all mixed together, creating sheer chaos.

Watching the pack of stray dogs, Guo Kunnan shivered; if he had been alone on the playground, attacked by these dogs, he’d definitely be torn to pieces!

That is the kind of primal fear humans feel towards their original predators.

Guo Kunnan saw that arrogant fatty whose pant legs were torn to shreds.

He exclaimed, "Will they be alright?"

A dude with yellow hair grabbed a wild dog’s hind legs, swung it with force, and smashed it down on the ground.

The two sides were in a heated battle.

Once humans fully exert themselves, relying on their weight advantage, their combat power is quite impressive, gradually launching a counterattack.

Wu Yunzhi didn’t fight the wild dogs head-on, he ran away early on.

This kid’s physical fitness is quite good, with a wild dog chasing him from behind.

Seeing things turning bad, Wu Yunzhi gripped a stick, confronting the wild dog from a few body lengths away.

The three people watched from a distance, even Dan Kaiquan forgot the sadness of his failed confession, this scene was too incredible.

Only Hu Jun stood solemnly.

No matter how the wild dogs tore and bit, they never approached them by an inch.

...

Compared to the intense man-dog battle at the Fourth Middle School playground, the river dam was leisurely and carefree.

After getting home, Xue Yuantong took a bath first; unlike usual, she didn’t go to Jiang Ning to play.

She noticed her mom always watched TV alone, fearing her mom’s loneliness; she put away her playfulness and went to talk with her mom, planning to head to Jiang Ning’s room after 10:30.

Xue Chuchu had been somewhat addicted to gaming lately.

She told herself countless times to only go to Jiang Ning’s room to game when Tongtong called for her.

But thinking she reached the fourth big level in the game, with its bizarre scenes, Xue Chuchu relaxed; she kept telling herself she’d never play again and focus on studying once she cleared this.

Thus, Xue Chuchu visited Jiang Ning’s room again.

They each picked up a controller, sat on the sofa, and played games on a 32-inch monitor.

Xue Chuchu had just finished a bath; she wore a loose long dress reaching her knees, the blue dress slightly faded from repeated washing.

The simple color didn’t appear dull; rather, it highlighted a unique charm, like a corner of the summer sky past.

Her long hair was damp, emitting a faint fragrance, revealing her exquisite brows and skin like coagulated fat, her limpid eyes focused on the screen, she appeared aloof, like a girl from a painting.

Xue Chuchu had excellent control; often entering new scenes, she and Jiang Ning swiftly eliminated small foes and began collecting green stars.

At the easternmost rural tourism spot, Boss Yang saw off the last batch of guests. He carried freshly grilled lamb skewers, chicken wings, sausages, mushrooms, and green peppers, heading to Jiang Ning’s house.

Soon, Boss Yang arrived at the door, his polished bald head reflecting the light as he boldly said, "Jiang Ning, there’s some leftover lamb today, come, have a taste, don’t be shy!"

He placed the lamb on the small table, the rich aroma filling the air, instantly stimulating appetite.

Jiang Ning thanked him, "How could I trouble you?"

Boss Yang laughed, "Hahaha, eat up, I still have things to do at the shop, I’ll head out first!"

After delivering the skewers, he left without hesitation.

This little gesture didn’t mean much, but doing it a few more times surely builds rapport; Boss Yang had his reasoning.

The aroma of grilled meat tempted Xue Chuchu; she made a mistake halfway through a level.

Jiang Ning promptly paused the game, handing her a lamb skewer: "Eat first."

Xue Chuchu took a bite of the lamb skewer sprinkled with cumin chili powder, and the taste was excellent.

After finishing one skewer, she asked, "Aren’t we calling Tongtong?"

Jiang Ning opened a can of herbal tea, handing it to her: "We’ll eat first."

"Help yourself," Jiang Ning instructed.

"Oh oh." Late-night snacks were tempting, Xue Chuchu’s arm reached for the small dining table, graceful like willow catkins, her dress tugging to reveal her slender waist.

Jiang Ning was just about to take a sip of herbal tea; their movements intersected, and Jiang Ning accidentally bumped her chest with his elbow.

"Sorry!" Jiang Ning quickly withdrew his elbow, the soft lingering sensation somewhat lingering.

Xue Chuchu’s reaction was more intense; she shivered, quickly crossing her arms over her body, her eyes reflecting inexplicable emotions hard to decipher.

Jiang Ning glanced at her; the formerly cheerful atmosphere now felt slightly awkward.

After a long silence, Jiang Ning broke it, saying, "It’s alright, didn’t feel anything."

As soon as the words left his mouth, Jiang Ning realized it was a mistake.

Sure enough, Xue Chuchu pursed her lips, stood up without a word, and left the room.

The room was quiet again.
