Chapter 159: Smoke and Fire

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhou Ling turned around and looked at Su Qing and Wu Mu. He said in amusement, “I reckon the two of you have never been to such a place before. Just treat it as your first time experiencing life!”

As he spoke, he looked at Su Qing. “Especially you! You should experience all kinds of fun in life. I keep feeling that you’re too cold and seem out of place in this world. That’s not good! There are many beautiful things in the world. You can take a closer look at them.”

Perhaps it had something to do with Zhou Ling’s interest in art, but he had always been more sensitive to the circumstances of others, but he was definitely not the kind of person who would just wallow in his own sorrows.

He was filled with confidence and understood himself and the people around him. This should be the reason why he could tell that Su Qing was special at a glance!

When Su Qing heard Zhou Ling’s words, a strange feeling suddenly rose in her heart. Before Su Qing could clear her thoughts, the stall owner came up with a few large plates of delicious food.

Looking at the spicy and fragrant crayfish in the basin and the various skewers, Wu Mu’s eyes lit up.

They looked so delicious!

Bai Ming, who did not even say a word after sitting down, had a bright expression.







Sure enough, only food and time would never disappoint anyone in this world.

Zhou Ling waved his hand and said, “Let’s start!”

Everyone began to put on gloves and peel the crayfish apart. Wu Mu was very good at it. She imitated Zhou Jing’s actions and quickly mastered the joy of quickly peeling crayfish.

Su Qing was infected by the atmosphere and chuckled before starting to attack the food.

Just like that, Su Qing and Wu Mu, whose eyes were shining, wanted to swallow their tongues as they ate the crayfish that had only been stir-fried with simple ingredients.

The night was very cool, and the lively alley carried the unique smoke of this world. The people around her were not noisy, and Su Qing felt very comfortable. She liked this atmosphere.

Suddenly, behind them, sounds of tables being pushed and bowls being smashed could be heard. Then a group of people rushed towards them.

“Bai Ming! You don’t have the money to repay your father’s debt, but you have the money to eat delicious food here, right?”

“Yo! You even ordered two big pots of crayfishes? You’re rich, aren’t you?”

“These are your classmates from your prestigious school, right? They look very rich! Why don’t you get them to return the money for you!”

“That’s right! Look, they don’t seem like people who lack money. You’re classmates, so it’s only right for you to help each other!”

A dozen thugs had gathered around the table and were sizing them up.

This was how life was. Often, when you had just experienced some peace in this world, there would always be some shameless people who would jump out and disturb you!





Apart from Su Qing and Zhou Jing, the others at this table turned to look at Bai Ming.

When Bai Ming heard these hooligans’ teasing, his body involuntarily trembled. It was not obvious, but Zhou Ling still noticed.

Before Zhou Ling could say anything, Zhou Jing stood up and looked at the people opposite him. The bright expression on his face had already disappeared. “Are you the people who have been harassing Bai Ming recently?”

Bai Ming also stood up. He pulled Zhou Jing’s sleeve and said coldly, “This has nothing to do with you. I’ll settle it myself. You guys should eat first!”

He turned to leave as he spoke.

How could Zhou Ling let Bai Ming leave just like that? These people were obviously coming for him!

Bai Ming was a child with a hard life. Zhou Ling had also learned a little about his background from Zhou Jing. Since they had encountered this today, they could not ignore it. They could not let these people bully Bai Ming!

“The Bai family is the one who owes you money, so go and look for them! Why are you making things difficult for a poor student?” Zhou Ling stood up and grabbed Bai Ming’s wrist.

Zhou Jing quickly blocked Bai Ming behind him and looked coldly at the hooligans.

When the leader of the hooligans heard this, he spat on the ground. “If we had any other way, we wouldn’t be here! His father owes us more than 100,000 yuan and is drunk all day. We didn’t kill him and only came to ask his son for money, so we’re already very well-behaved! You look rich. Why don’t you help him pay off his debt?”

Su Qing quietly finished the roasted meat in her hand before looking up at Bai Ming.

She was very familiar with the pride and stubbornness on Bai Ming’s face. It was very fragile and worthless, but it seemed that all young people had such backbone. She had seen it in her past self.

“Uncle, I think we should just call the police! These people are scoundrels,” Zhou Jing suggested.
