Peerless Cupid System

The bicycle overturned, and Ling Ziqian fell to the ground, startling pedestrians on the street.

Su Mingxi walked over nervously, wanting to help Ling Ziqian up.

But Ling Ziqian easily rolled over and jumped towards Su Mingxi with a smile, indicating that he was fine.

Another thug helped his groaning companion up, and immediately glared menacingly at Ling Ziqian.

"You've probably broken all your bones, pay up!" the thug yelled at Ling Ziqian. "You were riding a bicycle on such a wide street, and you managed to hit someone. You must have done it on purpose. I'm going to sue you for murder. If you don't want to be executed, you'd better pay up!"

Ling Ziqian ignored the thug's shouting and looked at Su Mingxi.

The panic on Su Mingxi's face had not yet subsided.

Whether it was being harassed by thugs or Ling Ziqian's reckless behavior, she was terrified.

"Are you alright?" Ling Ziqian asked Su Mingxi with concern.

Hearing Ling Ziqian's question, Su Mingxi felt a warm current inexplicably well up in her heart.

She was terrified when the thugs harassed her earlier, but now she's not afraid anymore; a smile has blossomed on her panicked face.

"You must be alright, right?" she asked Ling Ziqian playfully.

"It's okay, it's okay. You know I get into fights all the time. Falling down isn't a big deal."

"That's good!"

Seeing Ling Ziqian blush and eagerly explain, Su Mingxi couldn't help but laugh again.

Beside them, the thug was holding his wailing companion and shouting desperately, but Ling Ziqian and Su Mingxi ignored him.

To him, the two people in front of him were flirting.

Instantly, a surge of rage rose within the thug's heart!

He threw aside his companion, stood up abruptly, and raised his fist to punch Ling Ziqian!

Ling Ziqian received Huan Yue's hint and did not panic.

He was unusually bold for once, grabbing Su Mingxi's arm and pulling her behind him to protect her, then stepping forward to meet the thugs' attack!

Chapter 35 Now, are you satisfied...?

No ambiguity points were consumed.

In a few moves, Ling Ziqian knocked the thug to the ground.

The thug started acting like a rogue, wailing as if his parents had been murdered, "Hitting people in broad daylight! Murder!"

The fight had already attracted a crowd of onlookers on the street.

The thug's shameless wailing attracted a large crowd.

Ling Ziqian frowned, took out his phone, and glared at the loud thug.

"You accused me of murder? Then I'll call the police right now and let them judge this. You should know that you were harassing my friend just now. There are surveillance cameras all over the streets. Your every move has already been recorded. We'll see who ends up in jail then!"

Upon hearing this, the thug looked up and around, and indeed saw that many businesses had installed surveillance cameras at their store entrances.

The thug, somewhat flustered, shouted weakly, "We were just chatting with her, trying to make friends, and you, of all people, came and hit us with your bike!"

"Lifting up my friend's skirt, is that what you call making friends? Is this how your mother taught you to make friends?"

Ling Ziqian's question immediately made Su Mingxi, who was standing behind him, blush.

"I don't care, you hit my brother and broke his bones. If you don't pay me back, I'll follow you!" The thug started acting like a rogue.

"Then I have no choice but to call the police and let them uphold justice!" Ling Ziqian raised his phone again.

From the crowd, someone shouted, "Young man, no need to call, I've already called the police!"

Even a blind person could clearly see what happened in such an incident.

Upon hearing that someone had called the police, the thug panicked.

When a scoundrel lies, those around him begin to kick him while he's down.

The onlookers grumbled, saying that the two men often loafed around on the streets.

They not only harass pretty girls, but also do petty theft.

A burly man with an angry expression suddenly walked over and yelled at the two thugs, "Did you steal my bicycle?"

Seeing that big guy wearing a tight vest, with his muscles bulging out, he was so strong it was terrifying!

The two thugs panicked immediately. They had stolen bicycles before, so how would they know whose they were?

Having been spotted by the big guy, they quickly got up from the ground and left in a panic.

Seeing the two men's disheveled figures, the burly man immediately laughed, glanced at Ling Ziqian, and turned to leave.

So his bicycle wasn't stolen; he came to help!

The farce ended, and the onlookers dispersed laughing.

Ling Ziqian went over and helped the bicycle up.

Su Mingxi stepped forward, wanting to talk to Ling Ziqian.

Just then, a portly middle-aged man walked out of the coffee shop next door.

The middle-aged man walked over and berated her, "Su Mingxi, what have you been doing during work hours? Hundreds of flyers, and you just threw them on the ground like that!"

"I'm sorry..." Su Mingxi quickly bent down, trying to pick up the flyer she had dropped on the ground in her fright.

"Why pick them up when they're already on the ground? How are we supposed to hand out flyers that dirty?" the pot-bellied middle-aged man yelled. "Printing flyers costs money. All that lost flyers will be deducted from your wages today!"

Su Mingxi's face turned pale, she lowered her head and didn't say a word, working hard without complaint.

This is not the Su Mingxi I know, the one who rebelliously rode her bike away from school amidst the security guard's shouts!

A middle-aged man with a large belly lectured Su Mingxi incessantly.

A burning rage surged within Ling Ziqian; he was even angrier than when he had just encountered the thugs!

He boldly grabbed Su Mingxi's hand again, "Let's go."

Su Mingxi looked at Ling Ziqian in surprise, then struggled slightly, "I can't leave, I want this job."

The crowd had just dispersed, but unexpectedly, another wave of trouble arose.

They stopped and gathered around to watch the spectacle.

"Get inside and get to work! Honestly, you can't even hand out flyers properly!" The pot-bellied middle-aged man waved his hand angrily at Su Mingxi.

Su Mingxi wanted to go into the coffee shop to work, but Ling Ziqian still held her hand and refused to let go.

"Ling Ziqian, let me go..." Su Mingxi pleaded helplessly.

"I won't let go!" Ling Ziqian's tone was firm, his face expressionless. "I'm doing this for your own good."

Su Mingxi naturally understood Ling Ziqian's meaning, but she still struggled, "If it's for my own good, let me go. I need this job!"

“I can find another job, I don’t have to work in this inhumane coffee shop!” Ling Ziqian couldn’t help but shout.

The portly middle-aged man was displeased. He pointed at Ling Ziqian with an extremely angry expression, "Kid, what do you mean? Let me tell you, don't talk nonsense. What's wrong with my coffee shop?"

Ling Ziqian's face darkened. "If you have any humanity, what did you do when your employee was harassed by thugs while working outside? Did you even come out to help him?"

The middle-aged man immediately became embarrassed, "We were all busy just now."

"Okay, everyone's busy. You know about the thugs harassing the employees, right? When you came out, instead of comforting the harassed employees, you started scolding them. Isn't that adding insult to injury for my friend? Isn't that inhumane?"

Faced with such a question, the pot-bellied man was extremely embarrassed.

A moment of awkwardness passed, then his face darkened as he glared at Ling Ziqian. "Hmph, how we treat our employees is none of your business, you high school student!"

Ling Ziqian's expression was very bad. "I didn't mean to tell you what to do. I just wanted to take my friend away."

Just as the portly man was about to speak, the onlookers began pointing and gesturing at him.

"This young man just risked his life to save his friend, but the people in the shop just turned a blind eye."

"That's right, they're not busy, they're just too scared to come out!"

"I don't even want to see such an inhumane coffee shop, let alone go in and patronize it!"

Various comments reached the ears of the portly middle-aged man, who was quite frightened, never expecting that the people around him would think that way.

He grinned sheepishly, "Everyone, there's been some misunderstanding..."

The onlookers booed, "You think we didn't see it? The store's employees tried to come out and help, but you yelled at them and shut them up!"

"A store that doesn't care when its employees get into trouble should just close down!"

"Yeah, yeah, it still went out of business. Anyway, even if they invited me in, I wouldn't want to go in!"

"I'm going to post a review online and tell everyone about this so that no one else will come!"

The pot-bellied man looked ashen-faced, staring blankly, unable to utter a single word.

This coffee shop has only been open for a few days, and its reputation has plummeted to rock bottom because of such a small incident!

The onlookers gradually left.

Ling Ziqian was still holding Su Mingxi's hand.

Su Mingxi lowered her head, her shoulders trembling slightly; she was sobbing, her face already streaked with tears.

Were you moved by Ling Ziqian?

No.

After the crowd dispersed, she looked up at Ling Ziqian with teary eyes.

"Let me go." Her face was covered in tears, but she still stubbornly said, "This job is very important to me."

"Su Mingxi, are you crazy? You still want to work in a coffee shop like this!" Ling Ziqian couldn't help but yell at Su Mingxi.

"I'm just stupid!" Su Mingxi laughed self-deprecatingly. "I also think I'm crazy, which is why I wore clothes like this, but you wouldn't understand."

Ling Ziqian frowned. "How come I don't understand?"

“You own your own house and run a cake shop that makes a fortune every day. You have no worries about food or clothing. How could you understand…” At this moment, Su Mingxi was not the Su Mingxi from school.

This Su Mingxi is the real Su Mingxi, isn't she?
