306: Chapter 306 Species Diversity

"...Huh? Hit me?"

Fang Wei was stunned for a moment, then he became amused. He turned around, pushed open the door to their private room, and roared inside:

"Stop fucking chatting! Get out here! Someone wants to hit your Brother Wei!"

The private room fell silent for exactly three seconds.

Then...

The six 'soldiers' who were currently in 'deep communication' with the Girls seemed to have suffered collective hearing loss. They looked at each other, then nonchalantly went back to whispering with the Girls in their arms as if they hadn't heard a thing.

Fang Wei: "..."

The smile on his face instantly froze, and the scene became extremely awkward for a moment.

"Oh, and he wants to hit your Brother Ye along with me."

With an expressionless face, Fang Wei pulled over Jiang Ye, who was busily cracking melon seeds nearby. His voice wasn't loud, mentioned as if in passing:

"If Brother Ye gets beaten into a coma in a bit, you guys will have to split tonight's bill yourselves, okay?"

The next second—

"Fuck! Who the hell dares to touch my Brother Ye?!"

"He's got a death wish!"

"Dammit! Protect the best Brother Ye in the whole world!"

Like they had heard a bugle call for a charge, the six 'soldiers' instantly pushed away the Girls in their arms, stood up abruptly, and rushed out aggressively.

Seeing so many men suddenly swarming around them, Manager Gao and his two companions felt their momentum falter. They instinctively took a step back and shouted with false bravado:

"You... what do you want to do?! Shi Wei! Are... are you trying to organize a gang fight?!"

Fang Wei glanced at the composed Jiang Ye, about to ask for the next course of action, when a slightly chubby classmate stepped out from the crowd and snorted coldly:

"Still calling for a 'Shi Wei'? What, are you the damn Emperor? Didn't anyone notify you that the Qing Dynasty fell years ago? Speak up! How do you four want to die?!"

"Fuck! Lao Si, what kind of shitty pun are you playing?! It's not funny at all!"

Fang Wei's mouth twitched, and he reached back to slap Lao Si on the shoulder. "And! Where the hell do you get four from? There's only three! This woman is Brother Ye's Girl! Call her Sister-in-law!"

The six soldiers' expressions turned solemn. Their gazes snapped to Shi Wei simultaneously, and they bowed in unison, their voices booming:

"HELLO—SISTER—IN—LAW!"

"..."

Shi Wei felt the scene before her eyes becoming surreal. The development of events had completely broken free from gravity and was sliding toward an unpredictable abyss.

She instinctively wanted to take two steps back, to get further away from this group of seemingly abnormal college students.

However, Fang Wei was quick-witted and grabbed her arm, suddenly shoving her toward Jiang Ye.

The force was so great that she stumbled and crashed directly into Jiang Ye's arms.

Jiang Ye was busy cracking melon seeds and watching the show. Caught off guard, he instinctively reached out to catch her—

And ended up with a soft, fragrant body in his arms.

"Sister-in-law! Don't be afraid! Before the shift ends, as long as Brother Ye and us brothers are here, no one can touch a single hair on your head!"

Jiang Ye: "..."

Shi Wei: "..."

The two looked into each other's eyes, and the air seemed to freeze.

Shi Wei frowned and signaled with her eyes toward Jiang Ye's hand wrapped around her waist, hoping this seemingly slightly more normal man would have some gentlemanly grace and let her go on his own.

"...?"

Jiang 'The Gentleman' Ye held the soft, fragrant body in his arms, stunned for a full ten seconds before his brain seemed to process the information that 'there is an extra person in my arms.'

Then he spent another twenty seconds analyzing the meaning in Shi Wei's eyes, another twenty seconds to reach a realization, and finally, after ten seconds, he slowly opened his right hand, shook it in front of her, and asked with total sincerity:

"Do... do you want some melon seeds?"

"..."

Shi Wei, who had been held for nearly a full minute, almost spat out a mouthful of blood upon hearing this.

She squeezed three words through her teeth with an expressionless face: "LET! GO! OF! ME!"

Jiang Ye finally seemed to wake up from a dream. He said "Oh, oh" twice and quickly let go, even giving her a "Don't worry, I understand" look:

"Sorry about that, they've just had too much to drink and misunderstood. Don't worry, I'll explain for you."

Saying that, he turned and nudged Fang Wei, putting on a stern face: "Xiao Wei! How are you talking?! Can you just mention a Girl's age like that? Calling her 'Sister-in-law' is so impolite! Drop the 'Sister' part!"

Fang Wei was startled and felt he had committed a grave error. He quickly cupped his hands in apology:

"Oh! My mistake, my mistake! Sister, please forgive me! Sister, please forgive me! This little brother had a slip of the tongue after drinking. Please be magnanimous!"

After speaking, he turned and waved at the six brothers who were still in a daze: "Come on! Greet her again! Have some manners!"

The six soldiers bowed again like a reflex, their voices even more synchronized and louder than before:

"HELLO—SISTER!"

"..."

Shi Wei took a deep breath, feeling that her university professor was absolutely right—the diversity of species is a scientific proposition worth humanity's eternal exploration.

She forcibly suppressed the various emotions churning in her heart, reached into her pocket, and pulled out a business card, handing it to Jiang Ye, who had just 'harassed' her:

"Hello, let's introduce ourselves formally. I am Shi Wei, the Director of the Second Operations Department of Tianchen Entertainment."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Ye and the strangely shaped 'brothers' behind him. A strange light flashed in her eyes:

"May I ask, are you interested in becoming influencers? Specifically, online streamers. Trust me, you and your friends are very talented. With proper guidance and packaging, you might... no, you will definitely become famous."

This question caught Jiang Ye off guard.

Become... a streamer?

Fuck! Even if I starve to death, I won't be a streamer!

Look at how much he had tormented Little Su. If he became a streamer, what would happen when retribution came?

He waved his hand, about to brush it off casually, when that familiar and stirring background music suddenly exploded in his ears again.

"Dominating the clouds and winds—I roam as I please—watched by ten thousand people!"

"Dominating the clouds and winds—I never need to—look back!"

The melody of 'Wildest Star' was like a battle horn, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the corridor.

As soon as the music started, the six soldiers, who were previously slouching and laughing, had their eyes turn sharp. Their bodies unconsciously swayed slightly with the rhythm, as if they were about to transform into Young and Dangerous gangsters and slaughter everyone in sight the next second.

Manager Gao and his two companions, on the other hand, panicked completely.

Especially Gao Mingde. He was the oldest and most experienced, and he knew how terrifying the energy triggered by this 'battle song' could be in certain specific settings and among certain crowds. Back in the day, it had truly caused quite a few social news incidents.

This group of young people already looked lawless, and with this BGM...
