Chapter 20: Following
Wang Tianyu accepted the dinner invitation from his martial arts class classmates.
Although in the martial arts class, Wang Tianyu is only close to Chen Yongguo.
But after all, they have the friendship of classmates, and the theme of this party is to celebrate Wang Tianyu's victory.
In this situation, Wang Tianyu couldn't afford to lose face.
Chen Yongguo had just told Wang Tianyu the location of the dinner over the phone.
"Yan Yu!"
This is where Wang Tianyu and his friends had dinner in the evening.
The Yanyu restaurant is of high quality, with very good decoration style and dining environment.
Wang Tianyu knew this restaurant. It was one of the best in Qingjiang City.
The consumption in this restaurant is not low. This is Wang Tianyu’s first time to eat here.
Wang Tianyu's family conditions were not very good, and he didn't have the money to spend in these places before.
There are students from ordinary families like Wang Tianyu in the martial arts class of No. 2 Middle School, as well as many children from wealthy families.
Therefore, it is not surprising that this place was chosen as the location for the dinner party.
Although there are many private rooms in the hotel, the largest one can only seat about 20 people.
There were more than 30 people in Wang Tianyu's group, and there was no private room in the hotel that could accommodate them all.
But if we sit separately, it feels like the atmosphere is lacking.
Therefore, Luo Xiao, who was treating the guests, simply decided to book four tables in a corner of the hotel lobby.
Wang Tianyu and his friends asked the waiter to put the four tables together, and they now had a large dining table.
Luo Xiao, the host, was very enthusiastic. After he asked everyone to sit down, he notified the waiter to serve the food.
Luo Xiao ordered a lot of dishes, filling up the dining table which consisted of four tables.
After the food and drinks were served, Luo Xiao, who was the host, started speaking first.
"It is truly a fate that we can get together. We were classmates in No. 2 Middle School, and now we are classmates in the martial arts class. First of all, I propose a toast to this fate."
"cheers!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and Wang Tianyu was no exception, drinking the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Luo Xiao's opening drink obviously would not end like this. After the waiter poured wine into his glass, Luo Xiao continued.
"For the second cup, we have to toast Wang Tianyu. He really saved our face today. We all saw that the faces of the people across the street changed."
As they spoke, under Luo Xiao's lead, everyone pointed their glasses towards Wang Tianyu.
Wang Tianyu didn't say much. He raised his glass to signal, then drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, that's refreshing."
Luo Xiao praised Wang Tianyu and then continued speaking.
"For this third cup, let's toast to Senior Su and the others who didn't come, and thank them for the guidance they have given us these days."
Before he even started eating, he had already finished three glasses of wine.
Fortunately, Luo Xiao finished his speech at this time, and everyone started eating and drinking.
Wang Tianyu didn’t eat much, but it wasn’t because the food in the restaurant was bad.
On the contrary, Yanyu has become a well-known restaurant in the city, and the food tastes pretty good.
Wang Tianyu didn't eat much because he didn't have time to eat.
People kept coming to toast , and he had no time to eat.
…
"Wang Tianyu, I toast you a glass."
Wang Tianyu had just sent away a person who had toasted him when another one came up to him immediately.
Wang Tianyu looked at the man in front of him with some surprise. He didn't expect this man to come over and toast him.
The person toasting Wang Tianyu now is Deng Rensheng.
Earlier, Wang Tianyu beat Deng Rensheng into the hospital for several days because of a fight for a place in the game.
Wang Tianyu thought that this would seriously offend Deng Rensheng.
Even if Deng Rensheng didn't hate me, we would definitely never have any contact with each other again.
Wang Tianyu didn't expect that Deng Rensheng would come over and toast him so nonchalantly.
"Are you really indifferent and magnanimous? Or are you considering something else?"
While holding up the wine glass, Wang Tianyu was also secretly observing Deng Rensheng, hoping to discover something from his expression.
However, there was only a smile on Deng Rensheng's face at the moment, and Wang Tianyu could not see anything at all.
"We can be considered as acquaintances after fighting. Come, let's have a drink."
Seeing Wang Tianyu's somewhat puzzled expression, Deng Rensheng continued to invite Wang Tianyu.
"Excuse me for the previous one, sorry!"
Not finding anything, Wang Tianyu didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward, so he had a drink with Deng Rensheng.
"It's nothing. You see I'm full of energy now. It's normal to get hurt during a sparring match. But don't be careless. Next time we spar, you might be the one who gets hurt. Haha."
Deng Rensheng really didn't seem to care about what happened before, and he even chatted with Wang Tianyu with a smile.
The meal lasted almost two hours. Although he drank low-proof beer, Wang Tianyu still felt a little drunk.
After the meal, Luo Xiao suggested going to the next game to continue playing, and he would still pay the bill.
Wang Tianyu rejected Luo Xiao's invitation and did not join in the fun.
Wang Tianyu is a relatively restrained person and he won't get drunk .
After washing his face in the bathroom, Wang Tianyu prepared to return home.
After taking a taxi to his home, Wang Tianyu did not go home directly.
Wang Tianyu promised to buy fruit for Wang Mengmeng, so he first went to a fruit shop not far from the community.
After buying some fruits at the fruit store, Wang Tianyu prepared to walk back home because the distance was not far.
Wang Tianyu took a small path because it would allow him to return home faster.
Because it was the old city area and they were walking on a small road, Wang Tianyu was the only one on the road under the dim street lights.
Just as Wang Tianyu walked into the dim path, a man not far behind him also quickened his pace.
The man's footsteps were very fast, and soon he was only a few meters away from Wang Tianyu.
At this time, Wang Tianyu also heard footsteps behind him, and he turned around subconsciously.
"robbery?"
Wang Tianyu’s first reaction was that he was being robbed because the man’s dress was so abnormal.
Wang Tianyu couldn't see the face of the man behind him because he was wearing a long baseball cap.
The brim of the baseball cap was pulled down very low, basically covering the man's face.
Wang Tianyu's guess came true because Wang Tianyu found that the man took something out of his trouser pocket.
The man pulled out a dagger about 20 centimeters long from his trouser pocket.
The dagger looked even colder under the light.
Seeing Wang Tianyu turn around, the man slowly raised his head.
The man raised his head, but Wang Tianyu still couldn't see his appearance clearly.
Because in addition to a baseball cap covering his mouth, the man was also wearing a dark mask.
All Wang Tianyu could see were the man's eyes and the scar on his forehead.
Perhaps because the scar was too deep, or the stitching was too poor, the scar line on the man’s forehead was very obvious.
The crisscross stitches looked like a centipede, adding a hint of ferocity to the man's face.
The man raised his head and smiled at Wang Tianyu, then rushed towards Wang Tianyu with fanatical eyes.
Seeing this scene, Wang Tianyu’s first reaction was to run away.
Wang Tianyu is now unarmed, while the man opposite him is holding a weapon.
In addition, the man picked up the dagger and rushed towards Wang Tianyu without saying a word. He looked like a desperado no matter how you looked at him.
It would be fine if he was just an ordinary desperado, but Wang Tianyu discovered that the man's opening moves were actually the movements in the "Basic Cultivation Method".
The man opposite him had practiced martial arts and had weapons in his hands, so Wang Tianyu made a decision immediately.
"If you don't run, are you going to get stabbed?"
Wang Tianyu didn't care about anything else, turned around and ran forward.
Wang Tianyu ran forward a bit and heard the man's voice behind him.
"Don't run, kid. I only want your arm. If you run again, I might even take your life."
The man's voice was a little hoarse, and hearing these words made Wang Tianyu shudder.
Wang Tianyu's pace quickened as he became nervous.
But even so, Wang Tianyu still couldn't shake off the man behind him, and the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
Hearing the footsteps getting closer behind him, Wang Tianyu knew that he could no longer run away with his back to the man.
So, Wang Tianyu stopped and turned to face the man.
"That's right, just be good and let me cripple one of your arms. Don't worry, I'm very nimble."
Seeing Wang Tianyu stop, the man behind him also stopped.
"Who are you? I don't know you. Why do you want to cripple one of my arms?"
Looking at the man in front of him , Wang Tianyu forced himself to calm down, and then began to use words to test the man's whereabouts.
