Ch101 - The Great Wall (Extra Chapter)

The Soldier’s Club in Jianghai was a place where gangsters gathered. There was a Great Wall skating rink inside. This was the place where Chuan-zi and Xiao Wu fought, the place where the bloody cause occurred that made Fang Yu and Yang Lei bring men to sit and negotiate. However, at this Great Wall place, fighting, brawling, and stabbing were normal, too normal. The Soldier’s Club was a lair for gangsters. The nightclub, the arcade, and the video lounge were places that all gangsters loved to go in those days. A group of big-time and small-time gangsters were gathered together here all day. How could there be no incidents?

And this Great Wall was the first indoor music skating rink in the entire Jianghai back then. It was famous throughout the city. Beautiful girls often appeared there. This was a place to pick up girls.

Where there are girls, there must be quarrels. This was the truth.

Right now, Yang Lei was leaning against the ice rink inside the Great Wall, with ice skates on his feet. He leaned there, lazily watching the people in the ice rink skating around, unable to lift his spirits.

“Lei Ge, why don’t you teach me how to skate backwards again?”

The speaker was one of Yang Lei’s brothers, nicknamed Er Duo. Chuan-zi and Xiao Wu’s wounds from their fight had not yet healed. Ever since Li San’s leg was injured, he was unable to skate. Today, Er Duo had dragged Yang Lei out to relax.

“Practice by yourself!”

Yang Lei was not in the mood. He skated a few laps and then stopped, leaning against the side, his arms hanging on the railing.

Yang Lei skated well, relatively well. Skating also depended on talent. Some people could skate, but they looked very awkward, with very strange postures. But Yang Lei truly had some talent in body language. Just as his skill in fighting was also a talent, he had long been able to skate. He could skate forwards, backwards, and in circles. Sometimes, if he was interested, he could even figure skate. In the past, he often showed off at the Great Wall.

But ever since he started hanging out with Fang Yu, Yang Lei had not come to the Great Wall in a long time. If Fang Yu hadn’t been busy these days, Yang Lei wouldn’t have had time to come.

Now, Yang Lei just felt very bored. He was also puzzled that he used to like ice skating, but now, other than going to Fang Yu’s place, he didn’t have anything that he really wanted to do.

Today, Yang Lei was different from usual.

He wore a snow-white dress shirt buttoned loosely, revealing half of his chest. He was also wearing a pair of sunglasses.

Most people who wore sunglasses to skate in the indoor skating rink were definitely pretentious. It was practically the paragon of pretentiousness.

However, Yang Lei had a good figure and imposing aura. More importantly, he had a lazy domineering hooligan air, so his looks were completely bewitching to young ladies.

The white dress shirt he was wearing belonged to Fang Yu. Yang Lei wore it when he came out of his house in the morning.

“Why don’t you lend me this shirt of yours?”

Yang Lei spent the night at Fang Yu’s house last night. Impulsively, he wanted to wear Fang Yu’s clothes. Fang Yu especially loved wearing white dress shirts; it was like his trademark.

“If you don’t object, then wear it!”

Fang Yu smiled a little evilly.

“Why would I object?”

“It has been stained with your blood!”

As Fang Yu buttoned his shirt, he turned around and smiled.

“…Fuck!”

Yang Lei remembered that the first time Fang Yu saw him and beat him twice with a brick, he was wearing this white shirt.

Now, Yang Lei was standing and leaning to the side. He couldn’t help but lift the sleeve to smell it.

The shirt was clean, with the smell of having been aired in the sun. Fang Yu also always smelled like this.

As Yang Lei smelled it, it was like smelling Fang Yu.

Yang Lei was lost in thought.

“Lei Ge, did you see those girls? They keep looking at you!”

Er Duo pointed at the beautifully dressed young girls opposite them, smiling slyly.

“Looking at who? They’re likely looking at you! Be civilized!”

Yang Lei saw them long ago. Those girls had been looking at him for a long time. As expected, the leader skated over, intentionally or unintentionally skating towards Yang Lei. She even pretended to not skate well, crashing into Yang Lei’s arms.

Yang Lei reached out and held her, pulling the girl out of his arms.

“Be careful!”

Yang Lei had encountered many girls who would use these tricks to chat him up. He knew that she did it on purpose, and Yang Lei didn’t point it out.

This girl was quite beautiful. Ever since Yang Lei first entered the skating rink, she had noticed him. For a handsome guy like Yang Lei who could also skate so well, he inevitably attracted attention.

The girls who liked Yang Lei were all bold and unrestrained. This girl didn’t beat around the bush at all. She stood next to Yang Lei and gradually started chatting with him.

Yang Lei offhandedly spoke a few sentences to her, but his heart wasn’t in it at all. He was about to leave.

“Don’t go. Tell me your name? I’ll come find you to hang out later!”

The girl pulled him back warmly. The girl really was quite bold.

Yang Lei wanted to pull his arm out. The girl held his arm and wouldn’t let go. Er Duo, who was watching on the side, was dying of amusement. Thus, it was said that the peach blossoms Yang Lei attracted were particularly hard to deal with. It was no wonder that Yang Lei was afraid to go to Ninth High with Li San and the others to pick up girls. He didn’t even have time to hide from these girls.

“Sister, can you let go?” Yang Lei was anxious to death.

“Say it. Say your name and I’ll let you go.” The girl was acting cute.

Yang Lei was impatient. He was about to randomly make up a name, but a lightbulb went off in his mind. Yang Lei suddenly had an idea and looked at the girl: “You really want to know my name?”

“Really!”

The girl was very sincere.

Yang Lei lowered his head and got close to the girl’s ear. He smiled evilly and said quietly:

“I’m called Fang Yu!”

“…!” The girl was stunned, and her eyes widened.

“You… you are Fang Yu?”

Fang Yu was too famous. The girl spent all day with gangsters. How could she not know Fang Yu?

“You’re really Fang Yu??”

She had never seen him, but the person before her was really similar to what was said on the streets about Fang Yu’s looks. He was tall, handsome, and often wore a white shirt…

Yang Lei’s childish temperament arose from amusement. Yang Lei was amused just thinking about Fang Yu’s expression if this young sister really did go to see Fang Yu.

He had just taken off his ice skates and was about to leave, when a group of people came over from the other side threateningly.

“Zhou Xiaojuan, what the fuck are you doing? Let go of your hand!”

The one who came was a gangster. He kept pestering this girl without success. Seeing this scene, he was furious.

“Come here! If you don’t come here, I’ll slap you!”

This gangster was originally angry because this girl ignored him. Now, he was even more unreasonable.

Zhou Xiaojuan seemed to be quite afraid of this person. She scolded him, but she hid behind Yang Lei.

This gangster seemed to not have seen Yang Lei. He stretched out his hand and was about to drag her away.

“Hey, hey, what are you doing?”

Yang Lei grabbed his hand.

“Boy, do you want to die?”

This gangster was nicknamed Lao Gua. He was Liu Luoguo’s subordinate, a minor character in gang fights. He hadn’t even participated in a real Jianghu fight, but he thought that he had experienced many things. He brought several ruffians and showed off, turning his nose up all day.

He wanted to pull his hand away, but he couldn’t pull away. Yang Lei held him like he was playing. Lao Gua’s expression changed.

“Are you letting go? I’ll kill you if you don’t let go!”

“Do you fucking know who this is? You dare to be unreasonable here??”

Er Duo came up. At this time, Yang Lei’s reputation on the streets, using a catchphrase that came later, was “relatively” well-known. Who didn’t know that he was now a favorite of Yan Ziyi, a number one gold class fighter?

“Do I care who you are? Do you know who I am? You dare to steal my girl!”

Yang Lei turned around and asked Zhou Xiaojuan.

“Your boyfriend?”

“Not at all! He just harasses me all day!”

Lao Gua struggled for a long time and couldn’t break free. His eyes red, he raised his foot to kick Yang Lei.

Yang Lei raised his foot and kicked. None of Lao Gua’s people saw clearly how he was kicked, but Lao Gua’s knee gave out and he fell to his knees.

The people behind Lao Gua saw that Yang Lei and Er Duo were just two people, and they didn’t take them seriously at all. Seeing that Lao Gua had suffered losses, they all rushed up.

But after rushing up halfway, they didn’t move.

At that time, Lao Gua, who was both angered and in pain after falling to the ground, pulled out a weapon, a watermelon knife. He stabbed towardsYang Lei’s leg.

Then there was a scream. But the one who screamed was not Yang Lei, but Lao Gua himself.

Lao Gua’s knife fell, and his hands were mangled.

Yang Lei squatted down leisurely, holding something in his hand. It was this thing that had smashed Lao Gua’s hand.

It was an ice skate, still dripping with blood.

The people who rushed up all stopped, because they all saw the moment when Yang Lei smashed Lao Gua.

Just once. There was no need for a second time. No one dared to rush forward again.

At that age, Yang Lei was full of arrogance and belligerence, and was famous for his ruthlessness. When he made a move, there was no leeway. He would definitely hurt someone. This was also the reason why many people on the streets later thought that he was more violent than Fang Yu.

“Still want to fight?”

Yang Lei took off his sunglasses and looked at Lao Gua.

“…”

Lao Gua didn’t recognize Yang Lei. He was stunned from the beating.

“Do you know who he is? He is Fang Yu!! You dared to pick a fight with him. Serves you right!”

Zhou Xiaojun was originally still skeptical, but now that she saw Yang Lei’s ruthlessness and skill, she almost immediately believed it. She shouted excitedly!

Yang Lei was stunned. When Lao Gua heard it, his expression changed.

He looked at Yang Lei’s face, clothes, and age. Lao Gua’s face went white.

“Yu… Yu Ge, I really didn’t know it was you… Sorry, Yu Ge. I’ve offended you. I’ve offended you…”

Lao Gua got up from the ground, like he was the grandson. Without waiting for Yang Lei to react, he turned around and ran away.

The group of people ran away in the blink of an eye. Even their shadows were gone!

“Hey! …”

Yang Lei didn’t even have the time to stop him and explain!

“Fang Yu! You’re so handsome!”

Zhou Xiaojuan hugged Yang Lei’s arm. When she saw Yang Lei’s face after he took off his sunglasses, she was enchanted. It was said that Fang Yu was handsome. Only after meeting him today did she understand why so many girls talked about Fang Yu all day!

Yang Lei soon forgot about this matter.

But he didn’t expect that Zhou Xiaojuan really remembered him and came to see him.

That day, Fang Yu brought a group of brothers to hang out in the bar, and Yang Lei was also there. In the middle of hanging out, Yang Lei went to the restroom. Fang Yu was drinking at the bar. A young brother said that a girl was looking for him.

Once Fang Yu turned around, a girl dressed very seductively walked in.

Zhou Xiaojuan had been looking for “Fang Yu.” When she met sisters, she would boast that Fang Yu was her “sweetheart.” In Jianghai dialect, sweetheart also referred to boyfriend. None of the girls believed her. Zhou Xiaojun was obsessed and inquired everywhere. That day, when she heard that Fang Yu had brought people to hang out at this bar, she immediately came over.

She came in and asked for Fang Yu. The other person pointed towards the bar. Zhou Xiaojun saw a figure wearing a black undershirt, revealing strong shoulders and back. Once that person turned around, Zhou Xiaojuan went up.

“…Hey, I’m looking for your boss!”

When Zhou Xiaojuan saw the person in front of her, she was also stunned. She thought it was enough that Fang Yu was handsome, but even the little brothers under his leadership were so handsome.

“My boss?”

Fang Yu was taken aback.

“It’s Fang Yu! Aren’t you his little brother?”

Once Zhou Xiaojuan said this, the group of brothers around him couldn’t help but laugh.

“You know him?”

Fang Yu asked, holding back a smile.

“Of course!”

“Why are you looking for Fang Yu?”

“I’m his sweetheart!”

Zhou Xiaojuan didn’t hesitate at all.

“…!”

Fang Yu nearly choked on a mouthful of wine. Lao Liang and a group of young brothers were already holding onto the bar, convulsing with amusement.

“What are you all laughing at? You don’t believe me? He even fought for me! Be careful or else he’ll deal with you all in a little while!”

Zhou Xiaojuan was anxious. Seeing the person before her smiling and smoking, the other people overwhelmed with joy, Zhou Xiaojuan was puzzled. She didn’t know why they were amused.

As she was anxious, she looked up. Like seeing a savior, she rushed up.

“Yu Ge!~~”

Before Yang Lei could react, Zhou Xiaojuan threw herself into his arms, putting her arms around his waist.

“Yu Ge! Your little brothers are bullying me! Teach them a lesson for me!”

Fang Yu, Lao Liang, and the others all turned their heads. They looked over in unison. The expressions on their faces were splendid beyond mentioning.

“…Fuck, how did you find me?”

Yang Lei pushed Zhou Xiaojuan away. Only after hearing her say “Yu Ge” did he remember who she was!

“Yu Ge, you forgot. At the Great Wall, you specifically told me that you were Fang Yu. I said that I would come to find you to hang out later!”

Zhou Xiaojuan was very dissatisfied.

Everyone heard her and laughed. Yang Lei was very embarrassed. He glanced at Fang Yu. Fang Yu had a cigarette in his mouth as he looked at him with a faint smile. With that gaze full of interest, Yang Lei was filled with embarrassment.

“…You believe whatever I say? …I’m not Fang Yu! I lied to you!”

Yang Lei was dying with regret.

“Lied to me? Impossible!”

Zhou Xiaojuan didn’t believe him at all.

“You even fought! If you aren’t Fang Yu, could you be so fierce??”

“I’m really not! I was teasing you! …”

“If you’re not Fang Yu, then who are you?”

“I…”

Before Yang Lei finished speaking, Fang Yu had already come over. He grabbed Yang Lei’s shoulder and hugged him with force.

“Yu Ge, it’s not right for you to do this. She came specifically to see you. How can you deny it?”

Fang Yu was still holding his cigarette in his hand. His expression was very serious.
