Murder the Dream Guy

Xiang Wan’s eyes stared wide opened as the boiling hot soup splashed over.

People who ate hotpot knew how devastating the outcome would be when the boiling hot soup landed on one’s body.

Besides the possibility of going blind or getting burnt badly, one could even lose their life if unlucky.

“Bai Muchuan, watch out!”

Xiang Wan was so terrified her heart shrunk at that moment as Bai Muchuan was right at the front.

She screamed and quickly turn around to flip the table.

However, Bai Muchuan’s agility and reflexes were more sophisticated in handling such situations than Xiang Wan.

He could easily dodge the boiling soup, but if he did that, wouldn’t the soup land directly on Xiang Wan?

At that moment, a simulation was going through his mind at top speed. It was a simulation of the path where the boiling soup would land as well as his planned action to defend himself and Xiang Wan. He wasted no time to rush to Xiang Wan where he hugged her tightly under her nonplussed expression and flung the table she was trying to take cover from—

Splash!

Ah!

Bang!

All this happened within seconds.

Everything fell in place perfectly within his calculation. He had good luck as well, for the table flew right toward the incoming soup…

Hence, part of the soup spilled onto the floor while some of the soup splashed back onto that man’s face and body—soon after, he howled like a pig that was about to be slaughtered.

“Kill them… Kill them!”

“Help! Quick… my eyes… ah, my face…”

The injured man was crying out in pain. However, during times like this, one just had to go all-out.

Bai Muchuan’s brawling skills had shaken these group of troublemakers. One by one, they saw their brothers got hurt. The remaining men were actually daunted after seeing what Bai Muchuan could do and no one dared to step forward.

While no one made a move, a police siren was heard from outside.

The troublemakers looked at each other as fright showed on their faces.

The group of men seemed to be under the lead of Brother San, where he exchanged glances with two younger fellows who went over to help those men on the floor and wanted to run away.

“Step back!” Bai Muchuan let go of Xiang Wan and warned.

Upon hearing that, Xiang Wan quickly grabbed the soup spatula on the floor and retreated back to the bar counter defensively, together with the rest of the restaurant staff.

“You want to leave? Did I agree to let you go?” Bai Muchuan sneered and immediately rushed forward, grabbed one of the troublemakers by the knee, pulled toward his waist, and threw that fellow onto the floor. Next, ignoring the fellow who was howling in pain, Bai Muchuan had already dashed into the group, taking out those men in sight, and throwing them against the nearby chairs and tables. The troublemakers could do nothing to Bai Muchuan at all…

The moment they lost the will to fight, they lost the fight.

This group of troublemakers was totally not his match.

In just a blink of an eye, the hotpot restaurant was filled with people crying and bawling in pain.

Bai Muchuan was like the god of war amongst the troublemakers.

Looking at Bai Muchuan taking out those fellows as though going on a rampage, Xiang Wan’s heart pounded restlessly. Her hands were still grabbing tightly onto the soup spatula as her adrenaline rush was still going strong. She was ready to join the fight at any moment.

Just as she was hesitating if she should help out Bai Muchuan, a group of police officers had barged in.

“Don’t move!”

“Raise your hands and get down on your knees.”

“Everyone get down on your knees! Hands on the back of your head!”

When Xiang Wan made the police report, she told the police about the situation including the number of troublemakers. Hence, the number of police officers that came was more than the usual, almost every one of them carrying a pistol. The troublemakers gave up struggling after seeing so many uniformed police officers showing up and had blocked the entrance of the restaurant.

The restaurant employees finally felt relieved and immediately relaxed.

The boss of the restaurant, who had actually been cowering in fear outside, finally entered the restaurant.

Bai Muchuan brushed his sleeves dashingly, walked to Xiang Wan, and took her hand before walking to the bar counter.

“Bill please!”

He was asking for the bill at this time?

The employees of the restaurant were dumbstruck.

The boss of the restaurant quickly came over to them.

“Ah no, no need for that. As gratitude for helping us out, your meal is on the house. If you feel you didn’t have an enjoyable meal, please come again anytime…”

Hur! Does that mean they can eat for free on a long term basis?

Xiang Wan was amused and pursed her lips.

Bai Muchuan, on the other hand, frowned in displeasure as he looked at the food stains on him.

“If that’s the case, we won’t stand on ceremony then.”

With these words, he walked out of the restaurant calmly with Xiang Wan.

When a police officer saw he was leaving, he stopped him. “Wait a minute, comrade. I need you to cooperate with our…”

Bai Muchuan showed a grim expression. He took out his police officer badge from his pocket and showed it to him. “We need to find a place to change and get rid of all this smell. All of them can tell you what had happened. If there’s a need, you can look me up.”

While talking, he pointed at the restaurant employees before pushing the door and leaving the restaurant.

…

“Are you hurt anywhere?!”

After getting out of the restaurant, Bai Muchuan squeezed Xiang Wan’s hand nervously.

Xiang Wan shook her head with a smile on her face. “Nope. What ’bout you?”

“Of course not, how can I get hurt so easily?”

“…”

See, he’s arrogant again!

Xiang Wan gave a grin but did not expose him.

“Well, Little Xiang Wan, you’re like a guy today!”

“…” Xiang Wan was speechless at his comment.

With a faint teasing smile on his face, Bai Muchuan gave her a thumbs up.

“I was wrong about you in the past. Girl, you sure have guts!”

“… You’re annoying!” Xiang Wan couldn’t help giving him a shove as she laughed. “I’m only a weak, fragile, and adorable girl, okay?”

“Okay, okay!” Bai Muchuan looked at her from head to toe with a smile. “Who gave you the courage?”

“Fish Leong ¹ .”

“You’re asking for a beating!” Bai Muchuan wanted to give a knock on her forehead, but Xiang Wan managed to evade that. She held his hand, looked at the traffic and passersby before rubbing her nose. “There’s a strong smell coming from you…”

It was the unique smell of hotpot.

To be exact, the two of them carried the smell of hotpot with them and kinda looked untidy and messy.

Bai Muchuan lowered his head and pulled his clothes. “Are you bothered by the smell?”

“Of course not!” Xiang Wan leaned her head on his shoulders and held him by the arm with a pair of starry eyes. “I admire you,” she smiled sweetly, “I admire you so much.”

For a long time, Bai Muchuan always thought Xiang Wan was an independent woman.

Such behavior of clinging onto him affectionately was, in fact, a rare sight.

When Bai Muchuan’s self-esteem had been satisfied, he put his hand round her waist. “Good, let’s find a place to take a bath!”

“Hm.” Xiang Wan smiled gently and sweetly. “When you’re fighting with them earlier, you looked really scary!”

“Hur! They dared to take liberties with you! They’re already considered lucky to end up like this.”

“…”

Xiang Wan felt her scalp numb when she thought of that fellow’s scalded hand, scalded face, as well as the others who were beaten to a pulp with bruises all over their face and body.

“Will we get into trouble as they are the ones who got hurt?”

“Justifiable self-defense.”

“Hmm!”

Justifiable self-defense is a legal concept which was very difficult to define in many cases.

It could easily become excessive self-defense…

Xiang Wan swept a glance at him.

Bai Muchuan’s cool and collected face calmed her nerves once again.

There was actually no need to worry too much about him. He has always managed to handle anything that comes his way.

It was said that admiration and pampering were the foundation of the stability of a couple.

No matter what the personality of a woman was, if they really loved a man, there would be some amount of admiration in her heart.

Bai Muchuan, on the other hand, fulfilled all of Xiang Wan’s expectations for a boyfriend…
