Arrogant and domineering little loli

  "Hmm... I want to go and pursue Liu Jiajia, what do you think?"

  "...is ill."

  "Really! I think... let's just be a good boy for once, and then... go with the flow, as long as it makes me happy."

  "Going with the flow? What if your parents arrange a marriage for you in the future?"

  "As long as you're happy!"

  "Don't be like that... I didn't mean it."

  "You always ask me, but what about your own plans?"

  "Hmm... Hehe, I'm going to hang out with you."

  "...boring."

  ……

  Around eleven o'clock at night, in the bustling and noisy barbecue night market, near the pedestrian street, Liu Youyou was hugging her mainstay, looking down at his face with a few hints of helplessness and annoyance, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, somewhat awkward and obedient.

  After a while, she pondered and murmured: "I suddenly understood, Paradise..."

  On her delicate face, a few hints of inner fear and awe floated up, and she turned to look at Ye Cai's thoughtful but solemn expression, pursed her lips and mustered up the courage to say: "Xiao Cai, this world can't accommodate us, we'd better..."

  "It's late."

  Furrowed brows and pursed lips, icy disdainful gaze, completely unmasked at this moment.

  "After struggling in her heart for a long time, Liu Youyou said timidly: 'I... we... find an opportunity to steal it out.'"

  "Hmm!"

  It was as if she had reached the pinnacle of disappointment, Ye Cai let out a heavy sigh and raised her small hand to pinch Liu Youyou's earlobe, tilting her head slightly, questioning and scolding: "Are you stupid? Do you have the ability to develop it? No. To be honest, we're not even qualified, instead of suffering while guarding it, why not hand it over and live a carefree life, got it?"

  Liu Youyou, with her ears pinched, shrunk her neck and didn't dare to resist at all. She nodded frequently upon hearing this, revealing a weak and innocent flattering smile. But as soon as Ye Cai let go of her small hand with a sigh, she suddenly stuck out her neck and made an extremely disapproving and annoyed face.

  "You fool, you gave up all the good opportunities, didn't even leave any room for maneuvering... Hmm, no no no!"

  Ye Cai's words struck a chord, shattering Liu Youyou's determination. With a chuckle and a mysterious raise of her eyebrow, she said: "You're too caught up in this, find a goal or something, fill your life with substance and you'll be fine... it's not like you need to find another half to survive..."

  Liu Youyou pouted and raised an eyebrow in rebuttal: "Do you understand the word 'gender'? A person without gender is not established, do you get it?"

  Ye Cai's heart skipped a beat, and in an instant, she understood the meaning behind Liu Youyou's words. However, before she could gather her thoughts to encourage Liu to be brave and pursue her dreams, she caught sight of four or five drunk men stumbling towards them out of the corner of her eye.

  Noticing Ye Cai's slanted gaze revealing a hint of hostility, Liu Youyou followed her line of sight and turned around to see four or five men walking towards them. The one in the front was a rough-looking man in casual clothes, with an expression of fawning flattery on his face that was particularly straightforward.

  "Well said! This young lady really has insight into life, I think so too!"

  That rough man sat down in the seat in front of Xiao Xue, and several other men also found chairs nearby and sat down around them. The rough man quickly pulled out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes and handed two to Liu Youyou and Ye Cai.

  His gaze swept over them and then turned to Liu Youyou with deep affection, saying: "Sister, what you said really made me feel like I've known you for a long time."

  Feeling annoyed yet intimidated by the crowd, Liu Youyou remained unmoved and anxious as a cigarette was handed to her. Just then, she noticed Ye Cai quickly took the cigarette, so she looked up for help, only to see Xiao Dai Meng had tucked the cigarette behind his ear. Suddenly, it was as if she had found her backbone, and she took the cigarette and imitated him by tucking it behind her own ear.

  Faced with their clever moves, the five men were a bit embarrassed, and the rough man was even more awkward, his face red from drinking, he put on an angry expression.

  "What's the meaning of this? Don't be polite with me! Take a drag, take another one, take a few more..."

  The other four people echoed, all showing off a heroic and unrestrained demeanor, completely taking advantage of the momentum to coerce.

  "Huh?"

  Looking at the opponent's suspected black society gangster-like demeanor and aura, Liu Youyou felt a bit guilty this time. After several hesitations, she could only look to Ye Cai for help.

  At this time, Ye Caiya had her arms around her chest, raised her small face, and looked at the five people with a condescending gaze, saying: "What's the matter? Want to hit on my sister?"

  Although she was so petite and cute, she put on a domineering attitude like a big shot from the mafia. This strong contrast made all five of them hesitate and wonder, but then they saw the silly and cute little loli smile and say: "Hehe, you're quite bold, huh? You, just you..."

  Under the gaze of five people who were slightly nervous, the rough man hung a cold sweat and smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, what's wrong with me?"

  "Not bad, you've got guts."

  Under Liu's nervous and timid gaze, Ye Cai pointed at the rough man with her finger, but her eyes quickly shifted to the distant barbecue rack. Under the suspicious and silent stares of the six people present, she looked around for a while, seemingly finding someone, and loudly shouted: "Hey, who's that? Bring me a beer!"

  "Ah, here it comes."

  A sudden, audible sigh rose up, and the five of them looked at each other in dismay, seeing the lingering fear in each other's eyes. They couldn't help but exchange awkward smiles, then simultaneously put on a bold and crazy front, casting sideways glances in Ye Cai's direction, signaling him to make a move while they themselves became a solid, intimidating rear guard.

  Liu Youyou, who was completely unaware of Ye Cai's thoughts, slightly lowered her head at this moment, avoiding everyone's gaze, tightly pursing her lips to conceal the intense anxiety in her heart. She herself dared not reach Ye Cai's level of thinking, and was even a little terrified that Ye Cai would give her orders and arrangements later.

  She even had a few doubts, could it be that Ye Cai would take this opportunity to let the two of them surrender their innocence together today?

  Before long, a whole case of beer was brought over, and Ye Cai also took the opportunity to order a few skewers of barbecue, seemingly wanting to drink and talk about life with those rough men.

  Under the gaze of five big men, who were somewhat hesitant and uneasy, Ye Cai, still holding his arms around his chest with an arrogant attitude, opened his small mouth to lick his teeth, and looked at that rough man with a contemptuous and playful glance.

  With a slight raise of her small white hand, she slammed the bottle of liquor heavily on the table, slightly pouting as if deep in thought, and glared at the rough man.

  "How many bottles?"

  The little loli in front of him was completely unreadable, and he hesitated for a moment before pretending to be bold and shouting: "Come on, come on!"

  Intentionally or unintentionally, she gave him a white eye. Ye Cai picked up the bottle of beer with one hand and inserted the mouth of the bottle between her clean white left molars. With a slight sound, she frowned slightly, tilted her head to spit out the cap, then raised her chin and handed the beer to the rough man.

  The rough man did not take it in his hand, but instead looked at Ye Cai with a suspicious and slightly playful gaze, sizing up his pretended arrogance. The other five people seemed to have seen some signs and also started to play along.

  At this time, under Liu Youyou's worried and stealthy sideways glance, Ye Cai took out a bottle of liquor again, hesitated for a moment, still inserted the mouth of the bottle into his left molar, struggled for a while before hearing the sound of air leaking from biting off the cap. He tilted his head to one side, spitting out not only the bent bottle cap but also blood-stained teeth wrapped in bloody water.

  She casually spat out a mouthful of blood and muttered to herself: "Damn it, I've lost a tooth."

  Everyone couldn't bear to look directly and squinted their eyes, but she brought the beer to another rough man's table, raised her chin and said: "Let's have a few bottles together, huh?"

  That rough man's face was awkward and ugly, forcing a smile as he nodded, while Ye Cai spat out blood again, but it didn't affect anything, and he pulled out another bottle of beer, biting off the cap with his right molars...

  Twelve bottles in a row, all of them opened with ease, and Ye Cai's left molar seemed to have solidified a lot this time.

  The barbecue was served one after another, and Ye Cai sat like a big man, putting his white and slender left leg on the chair, shouting with those five men drinking and eating meat. Only Liu Youyou, who was timid and weak, couldn't keep up with the rhythm, still nervously lowering her head in silence.

  Ye Cai finally spoke up in a low, muffled tone and quietly shared some unseemly bloody experiences. Then, with a face that was both deeply shaken and relieved, she scared those men into feeling the same mix of emotions. As the daughter of a criminal police officer, the bloody events she spoke of were not entirely unfamiliar to them. When she recounted the gruesome and nauseating details, no one doubted her story.

  After drinking, they exchanged phone numbers and under the escort of five men, Ye Cai supported Liu Youyou, barely keeping her balance, hailed a taxi on the street and sped away.

  As soon as she got on the car, Ye Cai suddenly collapsed and murmured pitifully to Liu Youyou: "Sister Youyou, I want to pee..."
