“What’s wrong with her?”

Fuck…

Li Ying and Hanjun went back inside. There, people on their phones were showing something to each other from their screens, shocked by what they saw.

“Hanjun, I think I want off this yacht.”

Hanjun nodded. “Let’s go talk to the crew.”

“You go, I’ll just… pop into the loo real quick. Meet you here?”

Hanjun nodded again. He headed up another staircase to get to the upper deck where the cockpit was, to find a crewmember.

Li Ying crossed the room, ignoring the stares he got when people recognized him and said, ‘isn’t that her?’

Li Ying entered a toilet stall and locked the door. He sat on the toilet bowl and took out his phone, searching the social media app by tags such as‘New Year party, The Peninsula, fight, girl, blood, attack.’

There were several video uploads showing his and Tang Xiuxiu’s fight, from the point where poor Lin Yong was standing there in his bloody suit, a gruesome mess of blood and tiny guts on the floor before him. And there was Li Ying, running after Xiuxiu, grabbing her hair and hurling her around while she screamed, Li Ying shouting:‘How many of your toes do I have to break, bitch!’

It was hard to watch: him dragging Xiuxiu over where Lin Yong was throwing off his ruined jacket, then backing off as Li Ying returned and forced the screaming woman to the ground and her face onto the bloody floor.

There were a few such videos from different angles, not many views on them yet, a couple hundred at most on the one with the best frontal view of the brawling ladies, but the numbers kept going up and up. Li Ying fearfully entered the comments section:

Li Ying couldn’t blame them for calling him that. His handling of Xiuxiu was very rough, andwhen Hanjun had come to get him away from her, he had looked… Okay, he looked pretty crazy-eyed, Li Ying realized.

What is wrong with me…

Li Ying thought he had been justified, but looking at himself on the video and seeing all those comments was not easy, and Li Ying knew he had probably overreacted in anger. But it’s not like Li Ying had gone crazy, it’s not like he had actually wanted to hurt Tang Xiuxiu, though things looked bad on the video. Li Ying had just wanted to teach her a lesson.

Considering this, however, Li Ying had to wonder whether he had been unreasonably cruel, what with everyone reacting this way, callinghimthe crazy one, but then he remembered most of the commenters hadn’t seen the whole picture. They hadn’t seen what that hateful woman had almost done to him, what she had ended up doing to Lin Yong as collateral. Something like this could have devastated a person more sensitive than Li Ying.

That’s right:sheassaultedmefirst in such a vicious way!Li Ying reasoned.Nevermind that I’m not so affected by blood and gore, but were I just any girl or nancy society boy, I could have been traumatized for life if she succeeded!

Indeed, telling by the footage, most of the people were too afraid to even step in to help him and Lin Yong. Only Hanrong had helped Lin Yong when he and Hanjun had arrived at the scene. No one was trying to stop Xiuxiu either, and she would have just gotten away with it if Li Ying hadn’t caught her.

Damn cowards! I bet that had it been any one of them, they would have been pretty pissed off and wanted instant revenge too!
