Chapter 884 - 616: Shy
In the center of the square, a group of elderly men and women were dancing, while nearby a lot of children were laughing and playing, and he even saw many couples snuggling together.
Is this the nightlife in Dragon Country?
"Impossible, this is impossible, how could the nights in Dragon Country be like this? I've never seen such a scene."
Mr. Lu Ruian tried hard to deny everything before him, but the facts were right there, and he couldn't help but believe them even if he didn't want to.
In a daze, Mr. Lu Ruian followed Xia Liang to a bench, sat down, and looked at the harmonious scene around him, feeling as if it were another world altogether.
A world completely different from the Dragon Country he knew.
"Snap..."
"Hey, buddy..."
At this moment, a hand suddenly rested on Mr. Lu Ruian's shoulder, and a voice sounded from behind him.
Mr. Lu Ruian was startled, this scene was familiar to him.
Last year, when he was in Eagle Country, someone also appeared from behind, then robbed him, and even stripped him bare, not even leaving him his underwear, forcing him to run half-naked in the cold night wind for half an hour.
Now that he was in Dragon Country, encountering the same situation, he definitely wouldn't allow himself to be stripped of even his underwear again.
Thinking of this, Mr. Lu Ruian hurriedly reached into his trousers, pulling out a prepared electric baton under the shocked eyes of everyone around him.
"What are you trying to do!"
Mr. Lu Ruian stood up fiercely, pointing the electric baton at the man behind him, and said with a fierce expression.
Xia Liang, who was watching a pretty girl not far away, was also startled when he heard Mr. Lu Ruian's voice, quickly turning to look over.
He discovered that Mr. Lu Ruian was pointing an electric baton at a man's face, looking distorted, with the baton already sparking with electricity.
"Whoa, what's this little foreigner trying to do?"
Xia Liang was also taken aback, and the gazes of others around were drawn over, all looking at Mr. Lu Ruian in amazement.
Mr. Lu Ruian was already quite eye-catching as a foreigner, not to mention his current actions, instantly becoming the focus of the scene.
"Buddy, don't mess around, I just wanted to borrow a light, no need to point an electric baton at me."
The man from earlier was also startled, dropping his cigarette on the ground.
"I just wanted to borrow a light, and you're pointing an electric baton at me?"
The main point is, he just saw this foreigner pull the baton out from his trousers.
"Which normal person hides an electric baton in their trousers, aren't you afraid of electrocuting yourself?"
"Mr. Xia Liang, quickly run and call the police. If they dare to cause trouble, I'll electrocute them!"
Mr. Lu Ruian didn't understand Chinese, thinking that the man's words were threatening them, he hurriedly turned to Xia Liang and said.
"Mr. Lu Ruian, don't get excited, this friend just wants to borrow a light for his cigarette."
Xia Liang was both crying and laughing, this little foreigner wasn't just a bit troubled, he was seriously troubled.
"Hmm? Borrow a light?"
Hearing Xia Liang's explanation, Mr. Lu Ruian frowned, seeing the cigarette on the ground.
Could it be that he really misunderstood?
"Mr. Lu Ruian, please believe me, this gentleman truly meant no harm."
Xia Liang said helplessly.
"Mr. Xia Liang, are you sure?"
Mr. Lu Ruian still looked suspiciously at the man in front, feeling that his sudden appearance from behind was too suspicious.
"I am sure."
Xia Liang sighed and was too lazy to continue explaining to this little foreigner, turning his gaze to the man beside him.
"Hey buddy, sorry about this, didn't scare you, did it? You dropped your cigarette, have one of mine."
Xia Liang said as he bought a pack of cigarettes from the system mall and handed one to the man.
"No worries, buddy, but this little foreigner is quite interesting, hiding an electric baton in his trousers, never seen that before."
The man didn't mind, but looked at Mr. Lu Ruian with a bizarre gaze, wondering if all foreigners liked to hide electric batons in their trousers.
"Came from abroad, not worldly-wise, so I brought him to Dragon Country to broaden his horizons."
Xia Liang laughed.
The man nodded and looked sympathetically at Xia Liang, realizing how difficult it must be to guide a little foreigner who hides an electric baton in his trousers.
After chatting for a bit, the man left.
"Mr. Xia Liang, he really just wanted to borrow a light?"
Watching the man's departing back, Mr. Lu Ruian felt puzzled. Could it be that he really overthought it?
"Mr. Lu Ruian, since I am the guide you hired, I am surely responsible for your safety, and please trust what I say."
Xia Liang said seriously.
Mr. Lu Ruian nodded, realizing that he was just being overly nervous before.
"Put the electric baton away, and don't hide it in your trousers."
Xia Liang sighed, wondering how this little foreigner thought hiding it there wouldn't be uncomfortable.
"I just wanted to catch him by surprise."
Mr. Lu Ruian said with some embarrassment but still put the baton away.
After this incident, Xia Liang didn't feel comfortable staying in the park, especially since many people were looking at them with odd expressions, occasionally pointing and laughing.
Without a doubt, they were discussing the scene where Mr. Lu Ruian pulled out the electric baton from his trousers.
Xia Liang suggested going back to the hotel, and Mr. Lu Ruian quickly agreed, knowing that while the earlier incident was inadvertent, it didn't mean the Dragon Country night was entirely safe, better to return to the hotel for safety.
"Mr. Lu Ruian, I will plan the itinerary for you tonight, and tomorrow morning at eight, we'll set out to find some good food."
At the hotel entrance, Xia Liang said to Mr. Lu Ruian.
"I appreciate your help, Mr. Xia Liang."
After bidding each other good night, they returned to their rooms.
Early the next morning, Xia Liang led Mr. Lu Ruian outside the hotel.
However, as Xia Liang saw Mr. Lu Ruian, his eyes couldn't help but linger on his trousers, last night's incident still fresh in his mind.
"Ahem... Mr. Xia Liang, rest assured, I didn't bring it this time."
Mr. Lu Ruian seemed to notice Xia Liang's thoughts and quickly explained with embarrassment, while also changing the subject.
"Mr. Xia Liang, we haven't had breakfast yet, are we starting the itinerary already?"
"I'm taking Mr. Lu Ruian for breakfast; since you're here in Qingyun, you must try the spicy soup, otherwise, it's like you haven't been here at all."
Xia Liang laughed.
If there's one thing Qingyun is famous for breakfast-wise, it's spicy soup, and despite being here for so many years, he never got tired of it.
"Soup?"
On the surface, Mr. Lu Ruian didn't say anything, but inwardly he felt sorry for the Dragon Country people.
Are they so poor in Dragon Country that they can't even afford bread for breakfast and must make do with soup?
They didn't wait long before Xia Liang drove Mr. Lu Ruian to a breakfast shop.
