"Did both of you plan this?" Shui Shui asked glaring daggers at them. People already started to move some distance away from them when they saw the notorious fellows they had gotten so familiar with harassing another set of ladies.
"Did this jerk try any nonsense with you?" Yang Zi asked coldly, staring daggers at them. She cracked her knuckles as she waited for Shui Shui's reply.
"He groped my bums," Shui Shui relayed, sounding very irritated. Yang Zi punched the guy who groped Shui Shui hard on his right cheeks. She tried to punch him again, but Shui Shui clenched her hand.
"Zi Er, I have already slapped him so you don't have to punch him again. Besides, it's starting to cause a scene here," Shui Shui persuaded. She was so scared that people might recognise her or start taking videos and pictures of them.
"Count yourself so lucky today because I was planning to break those hands you used to touch my friend," Yang Zi said, throwing murderous glances at them. She held Shui Shui's hand and tried to leave, but the guy who grabbed her from behind threw a punch at her, but she dodged swiftly.
"Bravo....," those who stopped dancing and watched the little drama cheered her.
"Not so good," Yang Zi said, pushing Shui Shui far away from her. She likes her friend so much, she didn't want her to sustain any injuries.
She took her stance, seeing that the guys wanted to attack her again.
"Is that all you've got, so boring," Yang Zi said mockingly after they launched the third attack on her.
"What are the both of you doing, ganging up on a lady? Have you got no shame," tipsy Wen Min who just surfaced from the crowd shouted. One of the guy advanced towards her. Before Shui Shui or Yang Zi could take action, the guy stretched forth his hand to punch Wen Min's nose. Wen Min was too shocked to move away. She just stared at the guy's approaching hands. She squeezed her eyes closed when his arm was just a few inches away from her. With her eyes shut, she waited to feel pain on her face, but the pain never came.
"Are you Ok?" Shiyi asked worriedly. The incident that just happened occurred so fast. The moment Shui Shui slapped a guy, they had known that something was amidst so the four of them had rushed downstairs, but because of the crowd, they couldn't get to the ladies on time. When they got closer to them, Shiyi rushed to save Wen Min while Yifeng went to help Yang Zi. The moment the guy wanted to punch Wen Min, Shiyi had jumped out of nowhere to kick his hand away.
"I know you are strong but you are not Supergirl that had superpowers that could beat twenty men at the same time. You are one delicate lady with no superpowers, always remember that" Yifeng said seriously.
"I am just exercising. Their moves are easily predictable. They are not even worth competing with me," Yang Zi said, giving the guy a powerful kick in the stomach. He crashed into people standing in his direction.
"Sweet, are you Ok?" Xiaofei asked, holding her two hands.
"I am fine. I can protect myself well and nothing bad could possibly happen to me with my Zi Er here," Shui Shui said smiling. When Yang Zi was fighting, she was busy cheering for her. She didn't need to get scared of Yang Zi getting hurt because she knew how superb her best friend's fighting skills were. She has fought one on one with many mafia leaders and defeated them, so who are these pompous jerks that her powerful Zi Er could not defeat?
"Sweet, your props," Xiaofei said, handing her a face cap and mask in case someone was secretly videoing them.
"Thanks," Shui Shui said, holding his left arm close to her body.
Su Jin who didn't have anyone to rescue took steady steps towards Yang Zi. He pretended as though he didn't see the hand of one of the guy on his path. He stepped on his wrist with his hard leather shoe. Cracking sound could be heard by those standing close to the guy lying on the floor.qq
"Argh...," the guy screams in pain trying to lift his broken wrist.
"Oops, why did you have to carelessly drop your hands on the floor," Su Jin said before he moved on with his walk.
"Wonder woman, are you Ok? I loved your move earlier," Su Jin said smiling at Yang Zi.
"Nothing could go wrong with a lioness like me and thanks for the compliments. I can teach you the fighting move I used earlier if you are interested," Yang Zi said, smiling as though nothing happened.
Everyone just stared at them, afraid to utter a word after the event that just occurred before their very eyes. The seven of them gathered together after a few minutes.
"Everything is just against our union today. Starting from the moment we met. I am so sad about this," Yang Zi said after confirming that everyone was fine.
"Don't feel bad about it, Zi Er. We can eat out together some other time," Shiyi said, stretching his hand to touch her. But Su Jin quickly entered to prevent him from touching Yang Zi.
Shiyi turned and gave him a stern gaze, but Su Jin just faked a smile at him.
"It's easier said than done," Yang Zi exclaimed, holding Yifeng's arm as all of them headed outside the club.
"Yeah, Yang Zi is right. Gathering everyone will be almost impossible after we dispersed today," Wen Min suggested staring at Shiyi.
"How about this? Everyone should promise me here and now that we will gather next week Friday at the same time here," Yang Zi said, staring at their faces for answers.
"I promise," Shiyi and Yifeng chorused. Everyone turned and stared at them. Everyone had noticed that Yifeng and Shiyi were always the first to support Yang Zi every time she made a suggestion. They would have mistaken them for love rivals if Yang Zi did not clarify their relationship earlier. After so many hesitations, everyone agreed to meet at the same time next week.
"You keep staring at my big bro, don't tell me you like him?" Shui Shui asked, nudging Wen Min to pull her out of her fantasy.
Wen Min just smiled shyly, not uttering a word.
"I can see you like him, why don't you tell him instead of just staring at him? He might take you as a weirdo if you keep staring at him," Shui Shui said, staring at the oblivious Shiyi who was having a conversation with Xiaofei. Yang Zi was busy with Yifeng, so she did not hear what they were talking about.
"He has already thought she is a weirdo. I can't believe the fearless Wen Min can act so shy in front of her crush," Su Jin who overheard their conversation said loudly. Everyone turned to stare at him.
"Wen Min, what is Su Jin talking about?" Yang Zi curiously asked, focusing her attention on them.
"He was just blabbing," Wen Min replied instantly, giving Su Jin a murderous glance. She was mad at him for trying to broadcast her feelings when she was not even certain how Shiyi would react.
"Are you sure? It didn't sound like he was blabbing to me," Shiyi asked, seeing Shui Shui give him weird stares.
"Yes, I am sure," Wen Min said, smiling at Shiyi.
"Drop your gaze down or you will give your feelings away faster you had planned to reveal it," Su Jin teased as he whispered into her ears. Shui Shui heard what he said. "What interesting fellows," Shui Shui thought as she walked to Xiaofei. They all bid themselves goodbye before they departed to their various homes. Yifeng wanted to take Yang Zi home, but he couldn't since she brought her car to the club.
After that day in the club, Yang Zi made it a point of duty to set up gatherings every Friday for all of them. Her aim was for everyone to bond and get to know each other very well.
Yang Zi's birthday which looked like it was far away drew closer. It was just a week away, but Yang Zi felt less considered. Even Yifeng was shocked to see her so relaxed when her birthday was in a week.
"Brother Feng, I know that you must have already known that Miss Yang's birthday is just a week away, so I am curious. What are you going to give her as a present?" Li Chen, who came to spend the weekend with Yifeng, asked when they sat in the sitting room to relax after having their lunch.
"Why are you so curious about what my presents will be?" Yifeng asked suspiciously. He knew how mischievous Li Chen can be. His mischievousness has gotten to a new level now that he and Yang Mi have joined forces. He thought he was up to another mischief with the information he was trying to get from him.
"I want to help you out. I don't want you to make any mistakes on the most important day of her life," Li Chen said, sounding like a grown-up. "I know so many things about Miss Yang that you don't know of. I might give you useful tips if you give me hints about your gifts," Li Chen made his offer so juicy. He knew his brother would definitely take the bait with what he had just said.
