Chapter 30 Can’t Stand It Anymore

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Can’t Stand It Anymore ... "Rourou, his mouth is so foul, I really can’t stand it anymore." Yan Xiaobao looked at Xia Rou, seeking her opinion. Xia Rou said nothing and silently loosened her grip. She was genuinely furious. She was a proper woman with high moral standards. Even when she showed Yan Xiaobao her nightgown, it was the most conservative and opaque one. For Luo Jianbi to shout such vile insults in the street, one might actually believe she was some flirtatious loose woman. The bystanders also began criticizing Luo Jianbi. "Feelings can’t be forced. Not being able to win someone over and then behaving like a shrew and throwing mud at them—this man’s character is disgusting." "Exactly! What’s his name? Luo Jianbi? What a perfect fit for such a despicable guy! Thank goodness this beautiful woman has sharp eyes and didn’t get with this trash. Otherwise, it’d truly be a flower stuck in cow dung." "Right! They’re already engaged, and she wears nightgowns at home for her man to see. Isn’t that perfectly normal? How’s that shameless? My husband often asks me to do the same..." Yan Xiaobao pulled his arm away from Xia Rou’s embrace and prepared to teach Luo Jianbi a lesson, ensuring he wouldn’t dare insult Xia Rou again. "Wait a moment..." Xia Rou held him back again and advised, "Don’t hit him too hard. It’ll be troublesome if you injure him." Yan Xiaobao thought for a moment and playfully bargained, "If I obediently listen to my wife now and don’t injure him, will Rourou listen to me obediently when we get home?" "I..." Xia Rou blushed, lowered her head, and murmured, "This... this is too soon. It’s not good... We’ve only just known each other for two days..." "No worries—I’m totally fine with it." Yan Xiaobao grinned ear to ear. "..." Xia Rou was speechless. This guy’s twisted logic left her with no words. Yan Xiaobao, beaming with delight, turned toward Luo Jianbi, "Hey! You dark-faced guy, today’s your lucky day. I’ve already promised Rourou not to injure you. Apologize to my wife quickly, and I’ll let you off this time." "Bragging, are we? I’m a member of an amateur boxing club. Why would I fear you, a pampered young man?" Luo Jianbi shouted as he stepped forward and launched a "Black Tiger Heart Stealing" move, aiming straight at Yan Xiaobao’s chest. To be fair, Luo Jianbi’s punch did look decent. As an amateur boxer, at least he’d learned some fancy moves. However, to Yan Xiaobao, this level of attack was no different than child’s play. With hardly any effort, he caught Luo Jianbi’s wrist and rendered him immobile. "You!" Luo Jianbi was stunned to find his full-strength punch effortlessly caught by Yan Xiaobao. Shocked and wanting to retreat, he realized he couldn’t move a single finger. As the two clashed hands, the bystanders instantly got excited. Not only did they refrain from intervening, but they also started cheering loudly. "This dark-faced fellow looks tall and sturdy, but who knew he’d be so useless? Did he miss breakfast or something?" "His punch did seem fierce, definitely stronger than an average person’s. But maybe this fair-skinned guy is an expert martial artist." "Doesn’t matter if he’s skilled or not—come on, fight! Why stop after one punch?" "Exactly! Beat him up! If you’re a man, fight back!" Yan Xiaobao ignored the crowd, firmly gripping Luo Jianbi’s wrist. He scrutinized him from head to toe like examining an animal specimen, then curled his lip and said: "I promised Rourou not to injure you, but you’re so pathetically weak that even a casual strike from me would hurt you. Now what should I do?" Xia Rou in the background couldn’t help but laugh when she heard Yan Xiaobao’s words. This guy was always absurd and out of tune, but when it came to following the "wife’s" wishes, he was pretty adorable... Luo Jianbi, both terrified and angry, shouted in a blustering tone, "Let go of me! Or I’ll call people over to kill you in seconds!" "You idiot! Not only is your brain useless, but your mouth stinks too. Let me shut that mouth of yours first." Yan Xiaobao replied, poking Luo Jianbi with his finger. Luo Jianbi opened his mouth but found himself unable to produce any sound. "What did you do to me?" Judging from Luo Jianbi’s lip movements, this was likely what he wanted to say. Yan Xiaobao didn’t bother responding to him. After thinking for a moment, he laughed out loud, "Got it! If I can’t injure you, I’ll make you stand here as punishment." With that, Yan Xiaobao poked Luo Jianbi again and turned towards Xia Rou, boasting, "Rourou, how about letting him stand here for a day and a night?" Xia Rou figured this was likely the most "gentle" punishment she could expect from this "violent" man, so she nodded. "Listen up, you dark-faced guy. Out of respect for Rourou, I’ll just make you mute and immobile, standing here for a day and a night. If you ever dare bother Rourou again, I’ll make you mute and immobile for life!" After saying this, Yan Xiaobao grabbed Xia Rou’s hand and walked out of the crowd. "Rourou, let’s hurry home and take a nice bath!" As Yan Xiaobao left with Xia Rou, Luo Jianbi remained frozen in his "Black Tiger Heart Stealing" pose, completely immobile. The curious onlookers gathered around him, marveling as if observing an alien. "This is amazing—he really can’t speak or move." "So cool! This must be the legendary pressure point technique, just like in martial arts movies!" "I wouldn’t have guessed it. That fair-skinned guy turned out to be a hidden master. Truly, masters live among the ordinary." "Wait, do we need to call the police?" "Why bother? This dark guy’s heart is wicked, his mouth is foul, and he’s a disgrace. Let him stand here for a day and night—it seems perfectly fair to me." "Agreed. Let’s move him to the shrubbery so the patrolling officers won’t spot him." "Sounds good. Come, help me lift him." And so, like a living statue, Luo Jianbi was carried by two middle-aged men and hidden in the greenery by the roadside to avoid being discovered by the patrols. "Alright, everyone, let’s disperse. We’ll come back tomorrow for the show." "Wait, let me take a close-up photo. Maybe it’ll go viral." The crowd laughed, chatted, and eventually dispersed, leaving Luo Jianbi behind. Furious, humiliated, and frustrated, Luo Jianbi almost felt like spewing blood. Yet he could only stand rigidly amidst the shrubs, trapped in his "Black Tiger Heart Stealing" stance for an entire day and night. Meanwhile, Yan Xiaobao grabbed a cab in a rush and dashed home with Xia Rou, "Rourou, we’ve been out all day and sweated a lot. Hurry up and take a shower!" ...
