Chapter 33 Kind-hearted Xiong Er

Chapter 33: Chapter 33 Kind-hearted Xiong Er ... "It really is an iPhone X!" Red Bear the Second snatched the iPhone X out of Xiong Da’s hand, shouting like a tech reviewer, "Apple’s latest flagship model, featuring an all-new design, equipped with a stunning OLED display, upgraded camera, 3D facial recognition sensor for unlocking, supports AirPower wireless charging, starting price of 8,388 yuan..." Red Bear the Second had apparently watched the iPhone X commercials countless times, to the point that he could recite the specs by heart. "I dream of owning an iPhone X! Xiong Da, can I have it?" "Uh..." Yellow-haired Bear hesitated for a moment as Xiong Er’s words sparked an idea in his mind. His eyes darted around before landing on Luo Jianbi. "Big brother, my brother Xiong Er really likes your phone, how about you give it to him?" Give it to your brother-in-law! I just bought this thing; over eight thousand yuan—you think I can just hand it over to a stranger? Unfortunately, Luo Jianbi’s inner thoughts couldn’t articulate themselves aloud. "Since you’re silent, I’ll take that as a yes!" Yellow-haired Bear gave Xiong Er a sly wink. "Xiong Er, this big brother is giving you such an expensive phone—go ahead and thank him properly!" "Thank you, big brother!" Yellow-haired Bear Two actually bowed politely to Luo Jianbi. Thank your entire family! Luo Jianbi was so furious his face turned even darker, but he thought to himself, as long as these two young punks helped him call the police or summon an ambulance, eight thousand yuan would be worth it. Better that than suffering through the night. Xiong Er fiddled with the phone for a while, then, looking sheepishly at Xiong Da, said, "It feels wrong for only me to get a gift..." "At least you’ve got some conscience. But don’t worry..." Red Bear the First’s gaze toward Luo Jianbi grew even more malicious. "This big brother is clearly a generous guy—he won’t mind giving me a little present too." Luo Jianbi’s heart skipped a beat. It dawned on him at last: these two brothers roaming around in the dead of night certainly weren’t up to anything good. Red Bear circled Luo Jianbi, sizing him up from head to toe before his eyes suddenly lit up. "Whoa, big brother, this watch looks pretty nice..." As he spoke, Red Bear brazenly took the watch off Luo Jianbi’s wrist. Although the watch wasn’t gold, the crown logo glimmering on the dial made it easily recognizable to him. This is a Rolex! "Big brother is so magnanimous; surely, you wouldn’t mind gifting this Rolex to your little brother, right?" Red Bear the First chuckled, slipping the watch onto his own wrist. Luo Jianbi felt like he might cough up blood! Taking the iPhone X was one thing—eight thousand yuan wasn’t a huge sum. But this Rolex was worth over eight thousand euros! Not to mention, this specific model, the Rolex Datejust 41 Two-tone Jubilee, was a commemorative edition released when tennis legend Federer claimed his eighth Wimbledon title and 19th Grand Slam—a piece of history! And now it was simply stolen away... "Xiong Da, your watch is worth way more than my phone..." Xiong Er grumbled, feeling a pang of jealousy. But he quickly noticed the gold chain around Luo Jianbi’s neck. "Big brother, why don’t you gift me this gold chain too? Thanks in advance!" freewebnøvel.coɱ "Big brother, that Playboy shirt you’re wearing doesn’t quite match your classy vibe..." "Hey, big brother... isn’t LV a women’s brand? You’re so generous; it doesn’t suit you to wear an LV belt. It’s totally inappropriate. Let’s swap, okay? You’re welcome!" "Big brother, those shoes of yours..." "Xiong Er!" Red Bear the First interrupted his brother with mock moral outrage. "You absolutely cannot wear someone else’s shoes!" "Why not?" "Do you like wearing abandoned shoes or something?" "Uh..." Yellow-haired Bear Two tilted his head thoughtfully before answering earnestly, "I do." Red Bear the First: "..." "Xiong Da, help me out here." Yellow-haired Bear Two struggled to tug Luo Jianbi’s Wolverine leather shoes off. In his "Black Tiger Heart Stealing" pose, Luo Jianbi’s stance was solid, his base unwavering. Removing his shoes wasn’t going to be easy. "You idiot! Wouldn’t it be smarter to knock him down first?" The two brothers joined forces—one lifting his shoulders, the other hoisting his legs—to lay Luo Jianbi sideways on the ground. Finally, Xiong Er managed to claim his "abandoned shoes." At this point, Luo Jianbi—once impeccably dressed in an ensemble worth six figures—was left wearing nothing but his underwear and socks. Yellow-haired Bear Two rifled through Luo Jianbi’s Goldlion wallet, pulling out over ten crisp red bills. He stuffed a single twenty yuan note back inside before hiding the wallet in the bushes, then kindly said to Luo Jianbi, "Big brother, I’ve left your ID, driver’s license, and bank cards intact. Plus, I gave you twenty yuan—you can use it to catch a taxi home tomorrow." Stripped of everything, Luo Jianbi gritted his teeth in fury, but there was nothing he could do. You little punks! How dare you steal from me! You’ve got the guts of a bear and a leopard! Just wait till tomorrow—I’ll track you down and chop off those filthy bear paws of yours! Lying on the grass, Luo Jianbi burned with rage. Still, lying there was at least easier than standing. The lost possessions could be recovered. As long as he made it through the night, everything would be fine. With their loot secured, the brothers cheerfully prepared to disappear and fence their spoils. Suddenly, Yellow-haired Bear Two had another pang of conscience. "Xiong Da, it’s cool at night, but the grass is cold and damp, especially with morning dew. Just leaving big brother here feels wrong..." Red Bear the First thought it over and nodded. "You’re right; big brother’s given us so many gifts—we shouldn’t let him catch a cold. Let’s help him up." No! Damn it, don’t help me up—ahhh! Nooo! As Luo Jianbi screamed silently in despair, the brothers dutifully lifted him back up, once again placing him in the "Black Tiger Heart Stealing" pose... ... That entire evening, Xia Rou stayed in her room and didn’t come out—not even to cook dinner. She simply ordered two fast-food meals for delivery. Yan Xiaobao seemed to understand when to hold back and not push too far; he didn’t "bother" Xia Rou all night, letting her enjoy a peaceful evening. Early the next morning, just as dawn broke, Yan Xiaobao excitedly knocked on the door. "Rourou, time to get up!" After a good night’s sleep, Xia Rou was already awake but grumbled irritably, "It’s not even sunrise yet! Why so early?" Outside the door, Yan Xiaobao called out enthusiastically, "I’m free today! Let’s go to your family’s place to treat your sister!" "You’re free, but I’m busy. Let’s wait till I’m done with this period!" Having been about to get up, Xia Rou sank back into her bed, using the pillow to cover her head. Torn by inner conflict, Xia Rou wrestled with her growing doubts—should she bring Yan Xiaobao back home to treat her sister or not... ... [Please favorite, recommend, tip, and support!] ...
