Chapter 60 - Next Month I'll Be of Age

At this moment, the bus erupted into a commotion.

Everyone looked at Su Xuan with eyes filled with terror.

No one had expected that Su Xuan, who just moments ago didn’t dare to move, would act so terrifying once he did.

“Brother, I really was wrong, just let me go like a fart, I won’t dare do it again,” the sleazy man was completely frightened, realizing that he had encountered someone tough, and kept kowtowing with “bang bang bang” sounds.

Su Xuan tilted his head, pondering, “Well, since you have admitted your mistake like this, I will let you off.”

“Really?” The sleazy man showed an incredulous expression, never expecting Su Xuan to be so easy to talk to.

But Chen Wanqing furrowed her brows, visibly displeased, clearly thinking that Su Xuan was being too polite this time.

The attentive Su Xuan, naturally noticing Chen Wanqing’s reaction, a curve formed at the corner of his mouth, “The issue you caused me is indeed over, but you made my wife unhappy, and that makes me very angry.

So I still need to break your ten fingers.”

“Ah, no!” the sleazy man yelled in alarm, frantically retreating backwards.

Su Xuan reacted faster, grabbing the man’s left hand and a finger, showing no mercy as he twisted it back towards the back of the hand.

Crack!

The crisp sound of breaking bones was particularly jarring in the silent bus, sending chills up everyone’s spines.

This guy was just too ruthless!

“I was wrong, I really was wrong, please, I beg you to spare me.” Two fingers were broken, and the only reason he didn’t pass out was because of the sleazy man’s long history as a thief—the genes that had grown accustomed to beatings were now haunting him.

A qualified thief, regardless of his thievery skills, must excel in two things: running and taking a beating.

These two skills are also the most commonly used by all thieves.

“You know you were wrong, so you should be punished.

You upset my wife, and naturally, I won’t let you be happy,” Su Xuan said, while continuing his task; crack, crack, he actually went ahead and broke all ten of the sleazy man’s fingers.

“Hiss!”

A collective gasp of shock resonated throughout the bus, with most people watching the scene wincing.

At some point, they even began to feel sympathy for the three thieves.

“One down!” Su Xuan clapped his hands, stood up, and, ignoring the sleazy man who had fainted from pain, turned his attention to the remaining two thieves: “Now it’s your turn.”

The two relatively burly thieves were so scared that their limbs stiffened and their foreheads were covered with beads of sweat the size of soybeans, swallowing saliva at a high frequency due to excessive fright.

Fear had turned into anger at its extreme.

The two thieves, seeing no way out, looked at each other, picked up their daggers, and with a desperate stance, charged forward, “Damn it, no more holding back, I’m going all out with you.”

“Your courage is admirable, but your strength is too weak,” Su Xuan declared his verdict, and in the instant he spoke, he didn’t retreat but advanced, passing through the gap between the two men like a specter.

In the next instant, his hands grabbed each of their necks, he exerted force sharply, “Get down.”

Bang, a dull thud, the two thieves’ bulky figures hit the ground almost simultaneously.

This time, Su Xuan used more force, knocking them out cold.

“Ding dong!

Dear passengers, Qingshan Square is coming up, passengers who wish to get off, please disembark…”

At the same time, the sweet voice of the bus’s stop announcement played.

Su Xuan couldn’t help but imagine, he had heard this voice too many times, wondering if the woman speaking was as sweet-looking as her voice.

“Su Xuan, let’s get off here, let the police handle the rest,” Chen Wanqing, after the recent event, no longer felt like taking the bus anymore.

Su Xuan understood that after what had just happened, Chen Wanqing definitely wouldn’t agree to sit on his lap anymore.

With the chance to take advantage gone, what was the point of taking the bus, “Since that’s the case, let’s get off.

But before that, I need to do something first.”

“What do you want to do?” Chen Wanqing asked curiously.

Without answering, Su Xuan casually walked over to the passed-out thieves, lifted his foot, and savagely kicked towards their wrists.

Thud!

“Ah!”

A muffled sound followed by a scream; the excruciating pain from the compound fractures brutally woke the unconscious thief.

Su Xuan, who had crawled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood, wasn’t about to let a little noise influence his decision, as he once again raised his foot aimed at another arm.

Thump!

A dull sound—not a scream—because the thief had once again passed out, and the remaining thief went through a truly painful near-death experience.

After finishing all this, Su Xuan took out a pink phone from the pocket of the sleazy man, carefully wiped it clean, and handed it to the girl in white still in shock.

“Beautiful, here’s your phone.”

“Thank you…” The girl in white, looking down, shakily took the phone, seemingly a bit too scared to look at Su Xuan.

Am I so handsome that she’s shy and embarrassed to look at me?

Su Xuan thought to himself.

He had no idea that, given his behavior just now, it was only normal for anyone to be a bit frightened.

“I’m so handsome, don’t you want to take a look at me?” Su Xuan voiced his inner thoughts.

“Hehe!” The girl in white let out a bell-like laugh.

She had not expected the previously ruthless Su Xuan to also be so adorable.

She lifted her head, her pretty big eyes twinkling as they gazed at Su Xuan, and suddenly she realized that this odd man, upon closer look, was indeed quite handsome.

“Hello, I’m Bai Ling, thank you for getting my phone back,” said the girl in white, extending her fair, delicate hand.

Su Xuan, who had been paying attention to Chen Wanqing all this time, took a moment to look at Bai Ling and was slightly stunned with a smile.

This girl was just too polite, especially with those big eyes on her baby face that seemed to speak, exuding the feeling of a first love.

“Hey, what’s wrong?

Are you feeling unwell?” Bai Ling waved her fair little hand in front of Su Xuan.

“Not at all.” Su Xuan gulped and grabbed Bai Ling’s hand, suddenly asking, “I wonder, do you have a boyfriend?”

“I…” Bai Ling was stunned and completely froze before she could speak, but Su Xuan spoke again, “If you do, you surely wouldn’t mind switching to another, and if you do mind, you surely wouldn’t mind having one more, right?”

“What are you even saying?” Bai Ling’s head spun from the rapid-fire talk, and with a wrinkle of her cute little nose, she said, “I’ve never been in a relationship before.

Mom says dating early is not for good kids.”

Smack!

Su Xuan clapped his hands, leaping up excitedly, almost drooling, “That’s just perfect, the very feel of a pure student!”

“Hehehe!” Bai Ling felt the man before her was very strange, but not unpleasant.

Her bright eyes flashed with a hint of slyness, “Indeed, I’m the student, but I’m still a minor, you know.

You wouldn’t want to abduct a minor girl, would you?”

“Umm…” Su Xuan was taken aback, as he hadn’t really thought about this issue before.

Bai Ling, seeing Su Xuan at a loss, as if completely forgetting his brutality from before, patted his shoulder and adopted a pretentiously mature tone, “Forget it, uncle.

You better stick with that pretty lady behind you, and stop hitting on underage girls like us.”

“I…” Su Xuan felt inwardly devastated, nearly suffocated with rage; his style and demeanor might look mature, but he had just reached adulthood not so long ago, how could he accept being called an uncle.

“Actually,” Su Xuan’s mind spun, as if he thought of something, “by law, as long as you’re over fourteen years old and if you willingly go with me, it’s not illegal.”

“What are you saying?” Bai Ling felt dizzy, giving Su Xuan a bewildered look.

An array of peculiar glances converged on Su Xuan in the carriage, clearly indicating they thought he had some unsavory predilection.

“Ahem!” Su Xuan realized he had spoken out of turn and hastened to add, “Actually, I meant to educate everyone, that touching girls under fourteen years old is absolutely off-limits—it’s illegal, criminal, the act of a beast.”

“You seem like a beast driven by his lower half right now,” a voice tinged with a faint killing intent came from behind—none other than the extremely discomfited Chen Wanqing.

This guy was usually flirty enough, but now he was supposed to be her boyfriend, and yet he had the audacity to flirt with another girl in front of so many people.

“Not at all, I was just making a joke.

Let’s get off the bus quickly,” Su Xuan swiftly changed the topic.

He didn’t really intend to get involved with a minor, even though she looked much more mature than her actual age.

Bai Ling, on the side, playfully stuck out her tongue.

Her heart just beginning to feel the stirrings of youthful curiosity about Su Xuan, she blurted out, “I’ll tell you a secret—I’ll be of age next month.

If fate allows us to meet again, I hope you can come to my birthday party, and don’t forget to bring me a present, okay?”

“What?” Su Xuan’s eyes lit up, his face breaking into a happy expression, uncertainly he asked.

“Nothing, if you didn’t hear it clearly, just forget it,” Bai Ling said as if she had been caught doing something naughty, bouncing off the bus not forgetting to wave at Su Xuan, “Bye bye, hope to see you again!”
