Chapter 54: Chapter 53: Bought Underwear, Had a Fight (Part 1)

"Boss lady, that guy just now said he’d come back. Aren’t you afraid he’ll smash up your shop?" Lin Tian noticed that the lady boss had remained calm throughout, showing no sign of fear even after being threatened.

She simply smiled coquettishly without directly answering and said, "Call me Zi Yan, ’boss lady’ sounds so distant. Besides, I still don’t know how to address you all?"

From her tone, she seemed to not take the previous incident to heart, but this incident seemed to have suddenly brought everyone closer.

The man in the mask still didn’t dare to take it off. He nodded and said, "My name is Zhou Botong."

"What’s that? Old Mischievous Zhou Botong? He’s my idol!" Lin Tian’s eyes widened, thinking he had heard wrong. The lady boss named Zi Yan also looked at him in surprise.

Zhou Botong rolled his eyes, helplessly saying, "I knew you would think that. It’s Botong of ’doctor,’ not Botong of ’uncle.’ But it’s not your fault, 99.9% of people hearing my name for the first time mistake it for Zhou Botong, and the remaining 0.1% don’t know who Zhou Botong is."

Hearing his tongue-twister explanation, Lin Tian wanted to laugh but felt too embarrassed to do so, only nodding and saying, "That’s quite something, having a name that people remember upon hearing."

"You all can laugh; it’s all because of my old man, talking about being widely knowledgeable, hoping I’d become someone erudite and sensible," said Zhou Botong with a grimace, still complaining about his grandfather.

"What’s your name then?" Zi Yan, the seductive lady boss, turned her gaze to Lin Tian, no longer discussing the peculiar name, since her old man’s thought deserved admiration.

"Lin Tian, as in a forest with two trees," introduced Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian..." Zi Yan murmured to herself, as if pondering something.

"I wish I was called Zhou Tian!" Zhou Botong wailed on the side.

Zi Yan covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Some names carry too much fate, not suitable for those without enough luck. Zhou Tian isn’t a name one can just casually use."

"We young folks don’t believe in that stuff," Zhou Botong said nonchalantly.

Zi Yan just smiled ambiguously and then said, "It seems you two have taken a liking to these few sets. What size are you looking for?"

"Size? What size? I don’t know!" Zhou Botong said, puzzled. His voice was a bit loud, causing the women outside to cover their mouths and giggle.

In fact, Lin Tian knew the letters A, B, C, D... but he had no idea what they specifically meant. Seeing Zhou Botong’s pleading eyes turn toward him, Lin Tian could only shrug helplessly.

"Little brother Lin Tian, after comparing for so long, did you come to a conclusion?" The boss lady’s voice suddenly resonated beside his ear, and with one phrase, she pinpointed Lin Tian’s thoughts.

A woman’s intuition is indeed scary, but Lin Tian’s face was thick enough, and he laughed and said, "Ha ha, I’ll take a 34D in this purple one."

Zi Yan seductively rolled her eyes at Lin Tian, finding this young man’s thick skin remarkable.

"Uh, I’ll take the same as Brother Lin Tian, 34D, the Female Knight version," Zhou Botong said softly.

This Zhou Botong, daring to buy lingerie for his girlfriend without asking clearly. It would be fine if he bought a size too small but imagine if it were too large; the consequences would be unimaginable. This guy had to fend for himself.

"This is my business card, you can contact me if your girlfriends need anything in the future." As they paid and were about to leave, Zi Yan, the lady boss, handed Lin Tian and Zhou Botong two business cards.

The business cards were black with a mysterious and exquisite pattern printed on them, featuring only a name and phone number, without any other information.

After the two had walked away, a waiter who had been following behind the lady boss said, "Sister Zi Yan, you rarely give out your business cards, they look pretty handsome, but nothing else about them is remarkable, right?"

Zi Yan revealed a faint smile and said, "You still need to practice your perception of people. Who appears strong but isn’t, and who pretends to be weak to deceive others; you need to observe and think more."

...

After walking two streets over, Zhou Botong finally took off his hat and mask, looking quite refined. He took a long breath, still frightened, and said, "I was about to suffocate to death; I’m never coming back here again. That woman’s world, is it even a place for men!"

After speaking, he threw Zi Yan’s business card at Lin Tian, who curiously asked, "Why don’t you even want the business card?"

"Ah, you don’t understand, having a woman’s business card on me, I’d later have to take the trouble to explain it to my girlfriend. The card is quite special; it’s a pity to throw it away, better to give it to you."

Women are not tigers, yet Zhou Botong was so fearful, Lin Tian laughed and shook his head, wondering how he managed to woo his girlfriend initially. He put the business card into his pocket.

Just as they were thinking of buying two more sets of clothes, three burly men blocked their way.

"Step aside!" Lin Tian didn’t know their intentions, and commanded without expression.

"Gentlemen, our boss would like to see you!" the man in the middle said with a buzz in his voice, sounding very brusque.

Lin Tian and Zhou Botong exchanged glances, both revealing playful smiles. It hadn’t been long since the fat man had made threats, and now people were causing trouble; it was obvious he was behind it.

Although Zhou Botong was afraid of women, he didn’t seem scared at this moment, which took Lin Tian by surprise.

"Lead the way."

Following the three men through several streets, Lin Tian arrived at a secluded alley, where the lighting was dim. When they arrived, another dozen people emerged from the other end of the alley, the three leaders having distinct appearances. The middle man had a scar on his face, clearly the leader, the young man on the left had dyed red hair, and the one on the right was bald.

All three wore thumb-thick gold necklaces and had an air of ruffianism, probably thinking their look was cool. But Lin Tian thought the three were just fools, and even if they were small-time hooligans, they should keep up with trends. These three idiots were still sporting a look from over a decade ago, truly a disgrace to their fellow hooligans.

In today’s world, you wouldn’t dare to mix it up without wearing a suit and sunglasses.

"Brother Lin Tian, looks like there are quite a few guys; are your skills up to it?" Zhou Botong leaned in, asking quietly.

"Skills? I’m pretty average, what about you, planning to take them on alone?" Lin Tian saw his calm demeanor and thought he might show off if a fight broke out.

"Take them on alone my ass, I didn’t know that fatso would bring so many people. If I had known, I would have called for backups too. Looks like we’ll probably take a hit this time, but it’s good I sneakily pocketed a brick when I came, I’ll knock a few of them down at the front, and you can just follow me and run."

Zhou Botong patted the brick in his pocket, speaking with a sense of loyalty.
