So Pure, So Flirtatious

Yang Ming didn’t know whether he should tell these matters to Xia Xue. If he were correct, the haunted case should be caused by Lan Hai’s enemies, but this matter was a bit too ridiculous. Voodoo was a mysterious and almost unbelievable thing in the eyes of ordinary people. Even most people regarded it as a legend. They did not think that voodoo existed in today’s society.

Especially Xia Xue, who believed in science, would not believe in things like voodoo, so Yang Ming hesitated and decided to forget it. If possible, he would contact Lan Ling’s grandmother to see if she could catch this person. At most, he could give this merit to Xia Xue after that.

Fried cakes and crullers [1] were very popular during the early 1990s, but now those things were rare. They were replaced by beautifully decorated and hygienic morning coffee shops, porridge shops, and bun shops.

However, Yang Ming saw a similar morning stall in Shanty Town, so he drove the car to there. At this time, the sky was already bright. In the streets of Shanty Town, many small traders began to heat up the oil and do business.

“How come we are eating breakfast here?” Xia Xue was a little surprised.

“There are fried cakes here!” Yang Ming smiled. “Come on. Let’s go!”

Xia Xue suddenly realized why Yang Ming deliberately wanted to go to this unremarkable stall to eat breakfast. It turned out that he still remembered that she wanted to eat fried cakes.

“Thank you…” Xia Xue was touched. Since her grandmother passed away, she had not eaten fried cakes, and fried cakes were rare in the big cities. They almost disappeared.

“Thanks for what?” Yang Ming parked the truck and got off with Xia Xue. “You said that I am your long term meal ticket. I naturally have to fulfill your dietary requirements!”

” Haha !” Xia Xue smiled happily after listening to it. “Then, if I say I want to eat the moon in the sky, will you also satisfy me?”

“If you can bite it, I will grab that for you.” Yang Ming nodded.

“I will go to fill my tooth with gold tomorrow.” Xia Xue said seriously.

“Alright, when you have finished filling it, tell me. I will buy a space rocket.” Yang Ming continued.

“Yang Ming, are you intentional? Are you trying to go against me?” Xia Xue glared at Yang Ming and said.

“It was you who argued with me first! Besides, I have become your meal ticket. At least, you have to take care of the mood of the meal ticket, right? I cannot be angry with you when I am paying for the meal, right?” Yang Ming laughed.

Xia Xue couldn’t help but smile. They sat together in front of a stall of fried crullers and fried cakes. Yang Ming asked, “Boss, are you open now?”

“The oil is hot right now. What do you want to eat? I will fry for you first.” The boss approached with a smile. He didn’t expect that he would have business when the stall just opened. It seemed to be a good sign.

“A pound of fried cakes, two fried crullers, two bowls of tofu jelly!” Yang Ming said to the boss.

“Well!” When the boss heard that they ordered a lot, he immediately went to prepare happily.

“Can you eat so much?” Xia Xue saw the boss throw the fried cakes in the chopped board into the oil, and she couldn’t help but worry. “You ordered too many fried cakes, right?”

“It’s for you to eat. I will eat the fried crullers,” said Yang Ming.

” Ah ? Do you think I am a pig? How can I eat a pound?” Xia Xue’s eyes widened. She was dumbfounded looking at Yang Ming. Even if Yang Ming was just being kind, he cannot just order so much even if I love fried cake.

“If you can’t eat it, you can take it away. Anyway, this thing can be eaten after it is cold.” Yang Ming said. “There will be a relocation soon. I’m afraid you will not be able to eat it later.”

“Relocation…” Xia Xue nodded. She knew that Yang Ming was kind, so she stopped talking about it.

Soon, the food they ordered was served. Yang Ming and Xia Xue were drinking hot tofu jelly [2] that was just cooked. It tasted especially delicious.

“This feeling is quite good. Much better than going to the porridge shop,” said Xia Xue.

“If you like it, you can come here to eat often. Otherwise, you will not have the chance.” Yang Ming was also being somewhat emotional. The modernization of the current metropolis had its benefits naturally, but these traditional businesses would disappear.

After a long time, the sky was already bright. The people who visited the stall increased. Most of them were nearby residents. However, Yang Ming carefully observed and found that many were taxi drivers. It seemed that this place was quite popular. They drove taxis all day long, so they knew which breakfast was nice. Them coming here to eat proved that this place was really good.

“Didn’t I ask you all to stop the business? Why are you guys here? It is so messy, d*mmit!” A white old-fashioned Nissan van stopped near the early morning stalls, and a few macho men with sunglasses came out of the van.

“Brothers, our business is not easy as well. We cannot sell after a few days…” The smile on the fried cake boss turned bitter when he saw these people.

“F*ck, I will smash your stall if you keep wasting time!” One of the macho men wearing sunglasses pushed the fried cake boss and scolded, “Hurry up and move the stall. Can you occupy this space?”

“This… this is only six o’clock. We will close at eight o’clock…” said the fried cake owner.

“I will close your motherf*cker ass!” The man with sunglasses was impatient and immediately pushed the fried cake boss to the side. “If you do not close, I will close it for you!”

“What is this person doing?” Yang Ming frowned and asked Xia Xue, “Are they from the city management?”

“I don’t know. They do not wear a uniform…” Xia Xue shook her head. She did not know what they were doing.

Hearing Yang Ming and Xia Xue, a customer beside them whispered, “What city management? The city management around here is quite friendly. They even helped to maintain order for these hawkers sometimes! These people are from the demolition companies. They set up a booth here every day to handle the relocation registration. They complained that the hawkers that sell the breakfast have blocked their position. However, I thought that they are just used to being arrogant and deliberately causing trouble…”

Most of the residents were very dissatisfied with the people of this demolition company. However, although they were unhappy, they could only swear in private, but they dared not confront them.

“Why don’t you call the police?” Yang Ming glanced at Xia Xue and asked the man.

“Call the police? What is the use? When the police come, these thugs act like they are the white-collar workers of the company. They will not do anything in front of the police. When the police are gone, whoever called the police will be unlucky!” The man shook his head and said helplessly. “Who wants to get into trouble with this? Now the price of the demolition is still being estimated. If you offend them, and they estimate the lowest price for your family, then you will be the one who loses!”

After Yang Ming listened, he looked at Xia Xue with an ambiguous smile. He probably meant, “It seems that you guys, the police, do not do your work well!”

Xia Xue glared at Yang Ming instead. It is not a matter of wanting to deal with it or not, but it is too difficult to manage. If the police force pays attention to these matters every day, then what else can we do? Besides, forced relocation is not something that a law enforcement department of the police can manage. These demolition companies overtly obey the law but covertly go against it, which is a headache.

While they were talking, the macho man wearing sunglasses came over to Xia Xue’s table, impatiently saying, “Hurry up; stop eating. Move, move!”

“We haven’t finished eating yet. What right do you have to chase us away?” Xia Xue was a bit angry with this macho man. Because of him, she was unreasonably criticized by Yang Ming with his eyes. At this time, she was naturally nettled.

” Hey ? The little girl is quite cocky? But it doesn’t work! Don’t displease me. If not, you will suffer!” The sunglasses macho man finished, and he grabbed Yang Ming’s table. Then, he turned it over. The tofu jelly and fried cakes on top fell to the ground!

Xia Xue was distressed. My favorite fried cake. I haven’t eaten enough yet. It just fell to the ground like that? She was furious. If I do not teach this guy a lesson, then I am not Xia Xue!

“Do you know that it is illegal for you to do this now?” Xia Xue was sullen and glared at the sunglasses man.

“Illegal? Haha , I am the law here! This area belongs to the demolition company. I can do whatever I want!” The sunglasses macho man listened to Xia Xue’s words and smiled disdainfully. “What? Are you dissatisfied? If you are, I can demolish you as well!”

“You dare to try?” How could Xia Xue be afraid of a punk like him?

“Little girl, you forced me to make a move!” As he said this, the sunglasses man reached out to grab Xia Xue’s chest. This guy saw that Xia Xue was a beauty, so he naturally would not let go of the opportunity to take advantage.

” Ah ~~~~~!” The sunglasses man moaned before he could make a move. He was squatting on the ground, but his face was bubbling. His facial skin had fallen off.

Yang Ming was holding a pot of oil and glared ruthlessly at the sunglasses man who was squatting on the floor. “I hate someone being a punk to a woman beside me.”

“Brother Ma, Brother Ma! What’s wrong with you? It’s nothing, right…” When the other macho men saw the sunglasses macho man covering his face and squatting on the floor, they quickly ran over and saw that the sunglasses man’s face had been burned by hot oil.

“Just cripple this kid!” One of the macho men shouted, “Revenge for Brother Ma!”

“Quickly take me to the hospital…” Brother Ma nearly cried after he heard it. He resisted the pain on his face and shouted, and even his voice had changed. It is a good thing that you want to avenge me, but the most important thing now is to get me to the hospital!
