Chapter 74: Harassment
Chapter 74: Harassment
Yan Xiaoqing?
Xia Yan mulled it over. He found this name familiar-sounding and he couldnt help but look at the stage carefully. He got to see a young girl with a good figure clad in clothes that exposed her thighs, and he managed to recognize her despite her heavy makeup. This was none other than the girl who had run out of Dong Fengs room in Dynasty Karaoke Hub.
At that time, Xia Yans consciousness had fused with the skeleton soldier and he didnt exchange any words with her. He only remembered that she had once introduced herself to him.
But, the beautiful Yan Xiaoqing didnt seem terrified and distressed as before, and even though her performance was still a little amateurish, she seemed like a real star.
In total, Yan Xiaoqing had sung three songs. She had a pretty, sweet voice and she seemed like a real professional. She had earned ardent applause from the crowd!
When she finally left the stage, Xia Yan noticed that a man ran to her and handed her a bottle of water.
Dong Feng? The plazas lighting was quite bright, and it wasnt difficult with Xia Yans current eyesight to see and recognize this man. It was Dong Quans little brother, Dong Feng.
Could it be that despite what happened on that day, Dong Feng still didnt let off Yan Xiaoqing and he managed to get his hands on her?
Xia Yan furrowed his brows and shouted, Ill go over there, have fun without me.
Xia Yan, why are you leaving? An Xiaoru shouted at the top of her voice.
Im leaving for the public toilet.
Xia Yan squeezed his way through the crowd and went toward the backstage. There was a sea of people in front of him, but he could easily push aside even tall and muscular men. He quickly made a path for himself among the crowd and went to the backstage.
Currently, Yan Xiaoqing was drinking water in little mouthfuls. Her face was flushed and beads of sweat were dipping off it. She had been singing and jumping on the stage a while ago and she seemed very excited.
Dong Feng was standing in front of Yan Xiaoqing. He didnt seem at all like a boss, but rather like an assistant. He passed a towel to her, and he held a throat lozenge in his other hand. He took meticulous care of his contracted artist.
Upon seeing this scene, Xia Yan was startled. [Could it be that I have misinterpreted everything, and Dong Feng didnt force her, rather they came into an agreement? Or is Yan Xiaoqing suffering from severe Stockholm Syndrome?]
While Xia Yan was still engrossed in his doubts, he heard Yan Xiaoqing say, Boss, thank you for bringing me over here.
Xiaoqing, you are too polite and reserved. You dont have to call me Boss, just call me Mister Feng, Dong Feng said cordially. You are both pretty and talented, and who can I recommend other than you? Just look at the audience, they have all gone crazy for you.
Its all thanks to you, its you who has given me this chance, Yan Xiaoqing said with a sweet smile.
Xia Yan felt like he shouldnt have helped Yan Xiaoqing on that day. If one observed this duos harmonious relationship, he would have never imagined that Yan Xiaoqing had once hidden behind a skeleton soldier to escape the clutches of Dong Feng.
Those two people continued chatting for a while, and Xia Yan had already realized that Yan Xiaoqing didnt suffer any unfair treatment. He lost interest in this and he just planned to leave, when he suddenly heard Dong Feng ask, Oh, by the way. Xiaoqing, did you see Master Xia recently?
Xia Yan came to a halt. [Master Xia? Are they talking about me?]
Mister Feng, is Master Xia Yan Xiaoqing asked. She was trying to sound him out
Its the black-clothed friend who has helped you that day in Dynasty Karaoke Hub, Dong Feng said.
Hes always showing up and vanishing suddenly, and I havent seen him for a long time. Mister Feng, why are you seeking him?
Xia Yan rolled his eyes. Yan Xiaoqing was still as sly as before. She didnt lie, yet she made it sound like she had a close relationship with that said black-clothed man.
Dong Feng was obviously scared by this and didnt dare to inquire further. He quickly said, No, its nothing. Im just asking.
Mister Feng, actually Im not that close to him, Yan Xiaoqing said.
Xia Yan sighed in admiration. [You are mumbling continuously as if you are hiding something. If Dong Feng really believed that Im not close to you, then there is surely an issue with his brain.]
I know, Master Xia doesnt want many people to learn of his existence, Dong Feng said quickly.
Xia Yan finally understood why Dong Feng was supporting Yan Xiaoqing. He had just misunderstood Yan Xiaoqings relationship with him and was trying to get closer to him through her.
Yan Xiaoqing was exploiting him to intimidate people, but Xia Yan didnt mind her little clever plans. It wasnt easy for ordinary people to achieve great success and he didnt suffer any loss or harm from her actions. This was why he didnt mind letting her continue exploiting his might.
It was as Dong Feng had said, Yan Xiaoqing was pretty and a good singer, and she really had the potential to make it big. She might one day become a great star.
Upon thinking that a future top star was clinging to him, he felt quite pleased with himself.
Xia Yan bought several water bottles in a stall on the outer region of the plaza and went back. On the way back, he heard a ruckus before he reached An Xiaoru and Zhao Qians former position.
Xia Yans expression turned grave. He discerned that it was the voice of his few friends. They were screaming and shouting along with several people. It seemed like a conflict had broken out there, so he quickly made his way through the crowd and ran back.
It could be seen that Zhao Qiang and Qin Jian were quarreling with three youngsters, and they were both protecting An Xiaoru and the other two girls behind them. Those three youngsters had among them a tall and ridiculously handsome Caucasian. As for the other two people, they looked like Chinese, but they had strange accents, and it seemed like Haidong and Nanyu accents.
Those three men were all robust and muscular, and it could be discerned with a glance that they were very strong.
[Why are they quarreling with three foreigners?] Xia Yan was confused, but he still walked over there and asked, What happened?
Xia Yan, its good that you have come back, get ready to fight, Zhao Qiang said.
Those three fellas were harassing Xiaoru, Anna, and Xiaoyu, and they all rained profanities upon them Qin Jian explained what happened in several words.
It turned out that after Xia Yan left, those three men came over to hit on the girls, and they invited them to have fun with them.
Actually, this wasnt the root of the problem, as nowadays, youngsters were all open-minded. If the girls were willing to accompany them, they would have left with them, or else, they would just stop bothering them. An Xiaoru and her companions didnt like hanging out with strangers, and even Anna, who claimed that she would look for five boyfriends was just boasting and wouldnt ever attempt carrying it out. This was why they had all refused the guys invitations.
But, those three foreigners didnt leave sensibly. Instead, they continued bothering them as if they had found a good target. Zhao Qiang and Qin Jian stood up for the girls and started quarreling with the foreigners to the point that they almost started exchanging blows.
Get lost, dont assume that you wont get a beating for harassing people just because you are foreigners. This quarrel had already escalated too far and it would be futile to try to reason with them. Xia Yan also didnt plan to waste his breath with them and he just threatened.
Upon hearing this, his two roommates and the girls looked in surprise at him.
Why is Xia Yan so violent today? An Xiaorus pretty eyes were shining.
Cousin, you are so bold and cool. Xiaoyu formed a heart shape with her hands. She seemed smitten with him!
Xia Yan, well spoken, Im already itching to beat them, Zhao Qiang said loudly. He agreed with him!
There is a good wine for friends and shotguns for enemies, Qin Jian said meaningfully.
Are you picking a fight? The three foreigners were dumbfounded and they couldnt help but laugh. The man with the Haidong accent pointed at himself and said disdainfully, Do you know who I am?
Im not your father. So, how could I know who you are? Xia Yan said with a sneer.
You The man from Haidong could hear and understand Chinese well and he immediately understood Xia Yan. He pointed his finger at the man from Nanyu and said angrily, We are all contestants invited to the four nations wrestling tournament. Do you still want to pick a fight with us? We would beat you to death.
Hahaha! The man from Nanyu and the Caucasian laughed heartily. They were both very arrogant!
Wrestling contestants?
Everyone was startled. It was no wonder that those men looked dangerous and had robust bodies. It turned out that they were real pros!
