Returning to '97, creating a new life

Chapter 81 I'm willing to let her kick



Chapter 81 I'm willing to let her kick

In the end, Xu Kai chose to remain silent, because he saw the overflowing excitement of Niu Dongyang, Huo Gang, and others, who were clearly impatient, so he chose to keep quiet and not say anything more.

Regarding bathing.

About massage.

That's the experience left behind by the development of the times. There's no need to understand it; everything is right before our eyes. In the present day, it's undoubtedly a crushing victory on a higher level.

She didn't mention it when she left "Emperor's Mansion" with Su Xingwan, and Xu Kai didn't ask either; he understood.

If I call Yunshang and tell her to buy tickets now, the tickets will either appear tonight or tomorrow, definitely not now.

Are you afraid of me?

Once inside Xu Kai's car, Su Xingwan suddenly spoke.

"Um."

Xu Kai didn't hesitate at all. "I have a bright future, but right now I'm still weak. I haven't grown up yet. What I fear most is encountering powerful and influential people who have already started paying attention to me."

He was all too aware of the absolute suppression that 'power' could exert.

"Hehehe..." Su Xingwan laughed: "Alright then, you give me Yunshang, and I guarantee you'll never have anything to do with me again. In return, Pirate Bar will give you 10% of the shares, how about it?"

Xu Kai gave the middle finger, and then, by the riverbank, facing the cold river wind, on a patch of untouched, naturally accumulated snow, he was mercilessly and brutally knocked down five times. He was no match for her at all. Without resorting to any insidious or vicious physical contact tactics, he effortlessly subdued Su Xingwan, who appeared "weak" in front of him, leaving her utterly powerless to fight back.

My shoes are dirty.

White sneakers, dirty and wet from the dusty snow.

Xu Kai brushed the snow off his clothes as if nothing had happened, got up, led the other person, drove to the mall, and bought another pair of sneakers.

"Alright, let's compete fairly. Your advantage is that you're a man, and my advantages are my background and strength. I won't bully you or use any other means to compete with you."

Damn it!

Watching Su Xingwan walk away on her own, Xu Kai was speechless and frustrated. He couldn't bring himself to feel resentment or anger; no matter what, he couldn't muster any rival-like hostility towards Su Xingwan's face.

Suddenly turning around, Su Xingwan walked up to Xu Kai and smiled at him. In the eyes of onlookers in the mall, they were a perfect couple. All the men were stealing glances at her. This damn man is so lucky. Such a delicate girl is actually his.

"Aren't you thinking that one day, when you're done for, you'll pin me down and ravage me, like we say in Northeastern dialect, all night long..." Without waiting for Xu Kai's reply, she smiled brightly, leaned forward, and stood on tiptoe, giving onlookers the impression that she was throwing herself into his arms for a kiss. Her voice lowered again: "Do you have the ability to do that all night long?"

Completely disregarding Xu Kai's reaction, she continued, "In a fair competition, you don't have much of an advantage. If Yunshang sees you hugging, kissing, and embracing me, wouldn't the advantage be on my side?"

Xu Kai finally spoke up: "It's okay. If one of the folds in the two-fold design is you, she won't object."

Su Xingwan frowned, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, and her voice changed: "As my fellow basketball buddies, that little bit of friendship is gone. If you say something like that again, I won't hesitate to castrate you."

Seeing that Xu Kai didn't care at all and wasn't afraid, she knew that it was pointless to threaten him. She wasn't really angry, so she could only angrily kick him hard in the back of the shin. Of course, the force was not the same as when they were sparring, otherwise Xu Kai would have been kicked down long ago.

To onlookers, the two of them looked like a young couple playfully teasing each other. Su Xingwan herself didn't realize how adorable she appeared to others at that moment.

That face, that aura, that current behavior—besides being adorable, countless men would want to replace Xu Kai. Let me do it; I'd be willing to let her kick me.

………………

"Xu Kai, come pick me up, Wanwan is here."

That evening, Xu Kai received a call from Yun Shang.

In the hotel room, Yunshang tried on the gifts Su Xingwan had brought: several fashionable clothes from big cities. She also brought gifts for Su Xingwan, worried that she wouldn't be able to adapt to the cold in Northeast China: white bunny-shaped earmuffs, a long white down jacket, and white gloves. In her words, Wanwan looked so good in white.

Xu Kai sat in his chair, looking at the two of them, without exchanging glances with Su Xingwan. Both of them were flawless in terms of acting skills.

After eating hotpot, we went to watch a two-person comedy show. This stage of the show featured a lot of risqué content, with the performers daring to talk about anything and everything. Even Xu Kai found it very entertaining. Over there, two women were whispering to each other, clearly sharing some jokes that women could discuss, but would feel embarrassed if overheard by others.

The park was less crowded in the evening. Everyone was dressed neatly and made sure to keep warm. After watching the Errenzhuan performance, we went to the park to see the ice lanterns. At present, Harbin is still a novice in this regard, while Songcheng is doing a great job. Xu Kai transformed into a photographer, bought a lot of film, and just wanted to take pictures.

Yun Sheng also came with his female companion, accompanying them on sightseeing and taking photos, and then, late at night, experiencing the unique features of Northeast China.

With Yun Sheng around, there's no need to worry about where we go. These two runaway princess-like companions are going to some dubious places. It's not that we're afraid of running into trouble with others; we're just asking for trouble for ourselves.

They had a great time at the barbecue restaurant downstairs from the Yun family's house. With Yun Sheng there, Yun Shang didn't have to worry about the curfew.

After dinner, despite living close by, the group drove Su Xingwan to her hotel first before returning.

Yun Sheng drove in front, and Xu Kai drove behind.

"Now you believe her orientation, right?"

"Um."

Yunshang readily agreed. The two got along well and had been talking on the phone, but it wasn't even almost Chinese New Year yet, and she had come all the way to the Northeast to find him all by herself.

"What's wrong? Someone's pursuing me, and you're lacking confidence?"

What do you think?

Yunshang frowned, turned to look at Xu Kai, pondered for a moment, and nodded: "I understand. I will keep my distance from her and treat her as an ordinary friend."

This is what a treasure girlfriend is.

Without asking why, when matters involve fundamental principles in a relationship, I unhesitatingly stand by my boyfriend's side. Right or wrong doesn't matter; if he doesn't like someone, then I don't like that person either—no reason needed. It's not about right or wrong; it's simply a matter of closeness or distance. I unconditionally stand by my boyfriend. It may seem unreasonable, but who can resist such a firm stance from their lover?

The next day, she was warmly received again, but before going to the hotel, Yunshang asked Xu Kai to pick her up so they could go together as mutual friends and we could entertain them together.

Skiing, hot springs, experiencing Northeastern cuisine, and immersing yourself in local customs.

They remained as close as best friends, and at least Xu Kai didn't see through Yun Shang's disguise. If the two of them had been inseparable these past few days, then Xu Kai was definitely part of that inseparable bond.

Xu Kai could tell that Su Xingwan had already figured it out, but she didn't say anything and continued to have fun happily. She didn't have any private communication with Xu Kai when she had the chance, which made him a little wary and somewhat suspicious. He was prepared for any unexpected events to happen.

Some things can be met with cowardice and selfishness, but some things cannot be overcome even after several lifetimes. A real man needs to stand up for himself.

The flight was on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, flying back to Yanjing. Xu Kai and Yun Shang drove Su Xingwan to the airport.

Even until she waved goodbye after passing through the checkpoint, she didn't say a single word to Xu Kai alone. This time, he really didn't understand.

I kept it in mind, took it to heart, and remembered it as a serious matter, but that was all.

There was a follow-up to this matter after the New Year.

Xu Kai received a letter from Su Xingwan.

I thought you guys were interesting, but you're nothing special. Do you really think I can't find a woman?

Is it that abstract?

Writing letters, that's quite classical.

Xu Kai took a piece of paper, smiled to himself, and with his rather abstract drawing skills, drew a hand on the paper, clenched into a fist, with the middle finger raised.

reply.

………………

New Year's Eve.

A timely snowfall promises a bountiful year. A snowfall, neither too heavy nor too light, seemed to clothe the new year in a clean and refreshing atmosphere, and the crisp air smelled especially pleasant.

My father died early, and my grandparents also passed away. I haven't been in contact with my father's relatives for many years, and we won't have much interaction in the future. When we do run into each other, the feeling of greeting each other is like that of familiar strangers.

There's no intimacy, so there's no question of sorting out the distance. After all, we don't cross paths in life. We exchange a few pleasantries, leave a couple of polite invitations, and nobody takes it seriously—it's just simple social small talk.

At his mother's house, everyone gathers together for the Lunar New Year, so Xu Kai doesn't have many New Year's visits to arrange.

On New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Xu Kai and his mother put up couplets on all the doors inside and outside the house, pasted paper-cut window decorations on the front and back windows, and thoroughly cleaned the house inside and out. They didn't have many fussy rules; they just wanted to spend the morning looking at the house clean inside and out, and to feel happy and have a sense of ritual for the New Year.

Xu Kai and Yun Shang changed all the bedding, sheets, duvet covers, pillowcases, and pillowcases to new ones on this morning.

Yunshang had brought a lot of New Year's goods from home, so she certainly wouldn't say something like "we can't finish them all" in front of Sun Xiuyun. Whenever Sun Xiuyun was polite, she would just smile.

After packing everything up, Xu Kai put a few things at home that were easy to prepare, and then loaded the rest into the trunk. He also bought several cases of canned beer and canned drinks from a small shop at the street corner, as these were the popular gifts for the Chinese New Year.

A large group of people from my maternal grandfather's family came out, each carrying something in both hands from outside the courtyard gate into the house. Sun Xiuyun was beaming this year. What was supposed to be her most dejected year after being laid off had now become her most triumphant year.

Almost none of the younger generation were there; they all arrived early in the morning and immediately ran to their own arcade, just a few minutes away, to play the game machines for free.

Xu Kai greeted the elders but did not go inside.

"He's going to put up couplets at the restaurant..."

Sun Xiuyun took off her cashmere coat, a New Year's gift from Yunshang. She originally refused to accept it no matter what, but Xu Kai gestured for her to accept it. He then explained that the New Year's gift he gave to Yunshang's parents was also quite expensive, and that they hadn't taken advantage of them. This reassured her mother.

In previous years, Sun Xiuyun would always be busy in the kitchen with her sisters-in-law when she came home. This year was different. Her second sister-in-law, Xu Meilan, pulled her to sit on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and they chatted warmly while holding hands.

With so many sisters-in-law in the family, there are bound to be some who will slack off or simply not do any work. Perhaps the people who do the work will complain, but they won't say it out loud. As long as the New Year's goods brought over by those who don't do any work are plentiful enough, they are entitled to sit there, eat melon seeds, chat, and not have to do any work.
