Chapter 108: Conflict Outside School
Few people were interested in his reasons, but instead came up with an interest in his title.
"Oh, you're calling An'an now, and it sounds so sweet." Yan Tingting had just heard his words and couldn't help but smile like a little mouse who had stolen food.
"Hehe, I've been called that for many years, got used to it." Zou Ze scratched his head in embarrassment.
"All these years, and nothing more than friendship has ever happened between you two?" Yan Tingting refused to let him off the hook.
"I wanted to too, but An An didn't give me the chance. I just wanted to think about it, that's all." Zou Ze spread his hands out in a helpless gesture.
"You'd better bribe us well, from now on we'll be comrades 24 hours a day. What's the difference between saying good things and bad things about you in Ji Xin'an's ear?" Lu Ziyan looked at Zou Ze with a smile.
"Ladies, I've said it before, this meal is on me, and let's go to the best restaurant, pick the most expensive dishes, see my sincerity." Zou Ze made a gesture of a Qing dynasty woman's courtesy.
His appearance suddenly made several girls laugh together, and even Ruo Jia Yi's mouth corners lightly hooked up, such an experience was something she had never had before.
Several people walked out of the door laughing and making noise, during which Zou Ze occasionally attracted the jealous glances of the surrounding military school students. There were originally few female students in the military school, and things like Zou Ze being surrounded by several girls naturally drew attention.
After leaving the school gate, because old students are not allowed to go out freely, they also met fewer people from the school. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came out, I ran into a boy in the same class.
"Zou Ze, you're not very kind either. You actually ditched your brothers and went out with the beauty by yourself." Li Ming came over with a sly smile as soon as he saw Zou Ze surrounded by all the girls in the class.
"What's not thick, you say I'm accompanying you guys or chasing a girlfriend is more important? Which one is cooler and which one to stay with." Zou Ze pulled him aside, but didn't expect that the hard-won opportunity would be messed up by him.
"You're absolutely prioritizing girls over friends, I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go find some beauties to chat with." Li Hao took advantage of his momentary distraction and ran over to greet Ji Xin'an and the others.
The final result was that three more boys from the same class joined in.
A few people took three cars to the downtown area and arrived at a local well-known restaurant. They found a large private room and started ordering dishes.
"You order first, I'll go to the restroom." Lu Jia-yi seemed to dislike the atmosphere here and got up to leave as soon as she sat down.
Several people nodded without paying attention and continued chatting.
"I said what's the point of just eating. We can't drink white wine, can we at least have some beer?" Li Hao had become familiar with several girls on the way and suggested this, but it seemed suspicious at first glance.
"Don't even think about it. Tomorrow we still have military training, and the first day will definitely give us a warning, if anyone is late due to drinking and gets punished, are you going to take the blame or should I?" Zou Ze now has a deep aversion to alcohol, and he would rather not drink at all if possible.
"Zou Ze, how did you know the instructor would give us a warning on the first day?" Lu Ziyuan looked at him in confusion, wondering how he could have guessed such a thing.
"There's nothing hard to guess. It's like the new recruits, on the first day, they must be subdued. Especially those who are stubborn, if they can't be subdued on the first day, it will be difficult to manage them afterwards. Our logic is the same as that of the new recruits, so all of you be careful tomorrow and don't let them find any fault with you." Zou Ze reminded them, especially looking at Ji Xin'an, although he knew that with her abilities, the possibility of being punished was small, but anything can happen unexpectedly.
"We are all students, not new recruits, do we need to be so strictly required?" Tingting looked at him with a face full of disbelief.
"You'll know when the time comes, don't wait until you've suffered a loss and then regret it later." Zou Ze saw that they didn't believe him. There was no way to convince them, anyway he had already warned them.
"It's better for you to be careful. Even if it's not like that, there's no harm in being cautious. If it is true, at least we won't be so passive." Ji Xin'an also agreed with his point of view, and not just on the first day, but also believed that they wouldn't let them off easy for the next three months.
"But some things aren't just a matter of being careful, if he really wants to find fault with us, he'll always be able to," said He Yixuan worriedly.
"It's not that simple, the tiger is coming, we don't have to run faster than the tiger, as long as we run faster than our companions it's fine. There are so many people in military training, he can't possibly punish everyone, of course only a few unlucky ones will be punished. As long as those few people aren't us, that's all that matters. You guys think I'm right?" Lu Ziyuan said with a pleased smile.
"It's indeed the case, but someone will definitely be out of luck. That has nothing to do with us." Several people who heard this also found it reasonable.
Just when several people were talking loudly, a shouting sound came from outside. At first, everyone didn't notice it either, but amidst the noise, there was actually a girl's voice.
"It sounds like Luo Jia-yi's voice." Zhang Xiao-xue was one of the girls sitting closest to the door, so she heard it most clearly.
"Go and take a look." Several people heard her words and ran out.
Several people came out to take a look and found that Luo Jia-yi was arguing with someone, which was quite strange. Given Luo Jia-yi's personality, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would stir up trouble. However, after listening to their conversation, they somewhat understood what was going on.
"It was clearly your own fault for not watching where you were going, and yet you bumped into me." Lu Jia-yi was never good with words, and at their reversal of the situation, she became so angry that her face turned red.
"Little girl, you can't say that, this wine was broken by you, don't say we several big men bullied you." A man with a light yellow dyed hair and a very arrogant attitude said, "You're blaming us, what can you do?"
Luo Jia was left speechless by him.
"I don't believe you're all made of paper, let a girl bump into you lightly and you can't even hold onto the things in your hands." Ji Xin'an understood the situation as soon as she heard it, and several people walked over together to block Luo Jia-yi behind them.
"Wow, another beautiful girl has appeared. We're really lucky today." The person behind him looked up and saw Ji Xin'an, his eyes widened in surprise.
"You see, you say all this is useless, the fact is right in front of us, can't just say it's not her business and have nothing to do with her?" The person who had just spoken to Luo Jia-yi also looked at Ji Xin-an, and as soon as he saw Ji Xin-an and Zou Ze's movements, he knew they were definitely in cahoots.
"What do you want then?" Ji Xin'an didn't want to talk nonsense with them anymore and got straight to the point.
"Little sister, we won't make it difficult for you, just come over and keep brother company for a couple of drinks. That way, we won't blame you." The man finished speaking and winked at the people behind him, several of them smiled smugly.
"What did you say?" Zou Ze heard and was about to rush up, but was pulled back by Ji Xin'an.
"You're making things difficult for us students here, isn't it just for the money? Name a price." Ji Xin'an thought for a moment. Although he thought that if they were to fight, these few people shouldn't be a match for him, after all, they were newcomers and military school students. If using money could solve the problem, it would be better than causing trouble.
But she thought so, it doesn't mean the other party thinks so. Those few people saw them, although there were many of them, but they were all half-grown children and didn't take them seriously at all. "When we beg for food, do we care about that little money? That bottle of wine was given by our boss, no matter how much money it's worth, it can't be bought back."
"It's all right, but if you can join us for a meal, we'll let bygones be bygones and consider the matter settled." Another person even reached out to pull Ji Xin'an over.
Ji Xin'an's grappling move sent him crashing to the ground, and the people around him, except for Zou Ze, looked at Ji Xin'an like monsters, regardless of whether they were friends or foes.
"What are you doing? Let him go!" The three men saw their companion being subdued by Ji Xinan and came over to intervene.
Zou Ze and Luo Jia Yi reacted the fastest, standing in front of Ji Xin An, one on one. The others came to their senses and rushed up as well, although they were not as skilled as the three of them, but they had the advantage of numbers.
It didn't take long. The four opponents soon surrendered, and Ji Xin'an and Zou Ze's hands were quick and precise, so although the three of them were pressed to the ground in a sorry state, they weren't seriously hurt. But the one who was beaten by everyone was in a much more pitiful state, with a swollen nose and face, his mouth so swollen he couldn't speak, and his body didn't know how many blows it had suffered.
"Ow, sis, easy does it, that hurts." The person pinned down by Ji Xin'an cried out.
"Who is your sister? Watch your mouth." Ji Xin'an exerted a bit more force, and the person on the ground immediately turned pale.
"Sister, it's not the old lady, hurry up and let go, I don't need your company money anymore, isn't our fault enough?" This person really has no backbone to the extreme.
"Who was it that just bumped into whom?" Ji Xin An asked with a smile.
"It was us who bumped into her, we just wanted to tease that little girl of yours a bit, we really didn't have any malicious intentions." The man replied without hesitation when she asked.
"No malice, then why did you ask me to have dinner with you?" Ji Xin'an asked in a bad tone.
"We just wanted to make some friends, no other meaning, I know I was wrong. You are a magnanimous person, so please let us off as if we were nothing." The several people who had been restrained immediately lost their previous arrogance and all begged for mercy.
"An An, what's wrong?" Zou Ze turned around and asked Ji Xin'an.
"Let him go, what else can we do?" Ji Xin'an said, releasing his hand, and the man was so scared that he rolled and crawled towards the door.
"Get out, don't let me see you again." Zou Ze and the others also loosened their grip.
It is unknown who called the police when several people clashed, and a few were caught red-handed by the police as soon as they entered the door.
Ji Xin'an suddenly thought of Hong Kong movies when she saw those people in police uniforms coming in, they always appear at the right time to wrap things up at the end.
