Under Li Chao’s suggestion, Yu Xin’s complexion grew even rosier. She shyly lowered her head, her voice barely a whisper:
“That won’t do. We’re only telling people we’re just boyfriend and girlfriend for now. How can we live together in front of my parents?”
Her heart was filled with conflict and struggle, wanting to make things easier for Li Chao but worried such an act might invite unnecessary misunderstandings and gossip.
Seeing this, Li Chao shook his head helplessly. He understood Yu Xin’s concerns but had to point out the reality:
“Do you think your parents don’t know anything? They’ve probably already figured things out between us. Besides, if someone has to sleep on the floor, it’ll be me. I’m not going to let you suffer, you’re a girl.”
His words carried a firm yet affectionate tone, stirring a warm feeling in Yu Xin’s heart.
She looked up at Li Chao, her eyes flickering with complex emotions, and finally relented:
“Should we both sleep here, or should I sleep outside alone? You choose.”
This question troubled Yu Xin deeply, but she knew it was the only viable solution for now.
Standing at the doorway, biting her lip, she pondered for a long time before finally summoning courage and calling out loudly:
“Dad, it looks like there’s a chance of light rain today. We can’t sleep in the yard!”
Yu Xin’s father, originally holding a pillow with a puzzled face as he prepared to sleep on the ground outside, looked up at the sky upon hearing her shout and muttered to himself:
“Is it going to rain? It shouldn’t…”
Before he finished, Yu Xin’s mother hurriedly dragged him back inside, and faintly, Yu Xin could hear her scolding him, likely for not checking the weather forecast in advance.
This scene brought a smile to Yu Xin and Li Chao’s faces. Though still a bit uneasy, at least the lodging issue was temporarily resolved.
Blushing deeply, Yu Xin busied herself preparing water and towels for Li Chao to wash up, her heart filled with shyness and anticipation.
When Li Chao asked her to help wash his back, she felt an inexplicable nervousness and unease.
While assisting him, Yu Xin’s face grew redder and redder as she realized she was starting to feel stirred.
This surprised and confused her; she had never imagined she would be so easily affected.
Li Chao noticed too and was somewhat speechless—he only wanted to take a proper shower.
As a considerate young man, Li Chao soon understood Yu Xin’s worries and needs.
He decided to meet her expectations, but that didn’t mean they would lose respect and boundaries between them.
Their interactions were filled with warmth and understanding; though there were small incidents, they showed mutual tolerance and support.
As for the bed Li Chao mentioned—that was the bed Yu Xin had slept in since childhood, carrying many beautiful memories and emotions.
At this special moment, talking about becoming more intimate on that bed was both a challenge and a test for them.
They had to be clear that any actions should be based on mutual consent and respect, ensuring comfort and safety for both.
Li Chao slowly rose, his steps carrying undeniable resolve. He gently closed the door,
the sound of the latch clicking echoed clearly in the quiet morning light, like the opening of a ritual.
He drew the curtains, shutting out the noise and prying eyes outside, leaving only a room filled with tenderness and burgeoning passion.
Turning back, his gaze was gentle and profound, like the last rays of autumn sunset softly bathing Yu Xin.
At this moment, Yu Xin had shed her usual shyness and restraint.
She waited in a near-reverent posture, like a bud about to bloom, quietly awaiting the caress of spring breeze.
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation and trust — a silent reliance on Li Chao, and a yearning for the unknown moment ahead.
Li Chao’s fingers glided over Yu Xin’s delicate skin like a sculptor working on his finest masterpiece, every movement imbued with ceremony and love.
Skillfully, he loosened the bindings, allowing the exquisite figure before him to reveal her purest beauty,
a natural and unadorned charm that stirred the heart profoundly.
Night deepened.
Moonlight filtered through the curtain gaps, casting mottled shadows,
adding a hazy, dreamlike quality to the intimate space.
Their night of entanglement was not only a merging of emotions but a touching of souls,
where they found their deepest desires and solace in each other within this small world.
When the first ray of sunlight pierced the clouds, gently waking the sleeping earth,
Li Chao had finished washing, sitting fresh and neat at the table, enjoying a simple yet satisfying breakfast.
His eyes revealed an indescribable firmness and confidence, as if last night had been not only a comfort for the body but also a baptism for the soul.
“Everything’s fine now, right?”
He looked toward Dong Lai, his tone carrying a hint of inquiry, yet filled with undeniable strength.
Dong Lai’s eyes lit up with surprise followed by fierce determination.
He quickly rose, grabbing a seemingly ordinary but power-filled stick, his eyes gleaming with eagerness.
“Sis’ husband! You’re planning to take action?”
His voice mixed anticipation and worry — after all, they were facing the ruthless bullies of the Huang family who dominated the village.
But Li Chao’s reply dispelled all doubts in his heart.
“This little matter? Who needs backup!”
Li Chao’s smile brimmed with confidence and composure,
“Just the two of us are enough!”
Dong Lai stared incredulously at his sister and Li Chao, clearly still stunned by Li Chao’s bold words.
He secretly wondered how two people could possibly take on the Huang family’s tough guys.
Yet seeing his sister’s resolute eyes and Li Chao’s unyielding attitude, his doubts slowly gave way to an inexplicable hope.

Yu Xin held Li Chao’s hand, her gaze filled with both worry and trust.
She knew Li Chao possessed extraordinary abilities but still feared he might act impulsively and cause irreversible consequences.
Hence, she urged him to be careful and measured in his actions.
Feeling Yu Xin’s concern, Li Chao gently patted her hand, signaling her to rest assured.
He fully understood the importance of this mission and the responsibility on his shoulders.
He wasn't just there to seek justice for Yu Xin’s family but to make the Huang family realize they were no soft targets to be bullied at will.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be restrained,”
Li Chao smiled at Yu Xin,
“We won’t start trouble, but we won’t let anyone push us around either.”
Hearing this, Yu Xin felt somewhat comforted.
She trusted Li Chao’s ability and believed he would handle the situation properly.
Nodding, she watched as Li Chao and Dong Lai left the house.
On the way to the front yard, Dong Lai couldn’t help but ask again:
“Brother-in-law, are you really confident you can deal with the Huang family?”
Li Chao smiled and patted Chunsheng’s shoulder:
“Relax, I’ve got this.”
“Don’t tell me you’re some kind of special forces?”
Dong Lai couldn’t help but ask.
Standing at the doorstep, Yu Xin looked on from afar, her face beaming with pride.
She whispered:
“Xiao Chao is even better than the special forces!”
Though simple, these words were full of trust and recognition of Li Chao’s abilities.
Li Chao and Dong Lai arrived before the Huang family’s gate. Their expressions contrasted sharply.
Li Chao walked ahead, hands casually in his pockets, his steps steady and eyes calm and confident.
Dong Lai followed closely, gripping a wooden stick tightly, trying to appear brave but unable to hide his unease.
The villagers, accustomed to early sleeping and rising, were stirred by this unusual morning.
Seeing Li Chao and Dong Lai approach the Huang family, they immediately realized the Yu family was about to take action.
The news spread through the village like wildfire; soon everyone knew.
Upon entering the Huang family courtyard, Li Chao and Dong Lai found over a dozen family members gathered around a table, eating heartily, laughter filling the air.
Their merriment ceased abruptly at the sight of the two uninvited guests.
Huang Lao Wu lazily lifted his eyelids, seemingly indifferent to the intruders,
rose to pour himself tea, then slowly asked:
“So early in the morning, what’s this about?”
The three Huang brothers also put down their bowls, stood up, and surrounded Li Chao and Dong Lai, their glances hostile and scrutinizing.
When they heard Yu Xin say Li Chao was better than special forces, disdain and provocation flickered in their eyes.
They examined Li Chao carefully.
The young man was barely out of his teens, his dress not particularly flashy, prompting speculation that the Porsche might be just a rented prop to impress others.
Dong Lai, inexperienced, felt sweat bead on his palms like spring rain and his heart pounding like a drum at the sight of the Huang family’s imposing presence.
In contrast, Chen Shan (Li Chao) appeared calm and composed, facing Huang Lao Wu steadily, his words deliberate and clear:
“I’m Yu Xin’s man! I’m here to address a few matters today!”
His tone conveyed neither arrogance nor submission.
“First, your courtyard occupies the path behind our house and must be demolished and reorganized!”
“Second, the vegetable patch outside is your private encroachment and must be returned!”
“Third, regarding Yu Xin’s mother’s affair, compensation must be paid, and a sincere apology made!”
“We’re all from the same village. Let’s settle this civilly first, so no one ends up embarrassed or loses face.”
At these words, Huang Lao Wu smirked coldly:
“Hey, young man, you’re bringing a knife to the negotiation table, huh!”
The eldest Huang brother, hot-tempered, slammed the table and jumped up, pointing his finger at Li Chao’s nose with a scornful sneer:
“You’re just a greenhorn, and you want to act hero here?”
His tone was full of contempt and provocation.
“Don’t be naive, thinking renting a Porsche makes you a boss. Ha! What a joke.”
Putting aside the Porsche’s bluff, the Huang family had already made up their minds to reject Li Chao’s first demand outright.
Look at that courtyard; tens of thousands of yuan invested from construction to decoration—how could it be easily demolished?
Outside the courtyard, a crowd of villagers gathered to watch, whispering:
“Old Zhu’s new son-in-law looks pretty stubborn!”
“Stubbornness won’t help; they’re still green! Just the two of them—how can they fight the Huang family’s big guys?”
“True. The Huang brothers are notorious for their toughness!”
The villagers generally saw little chance for Li Chao and Dong Lai to win, especially against the Huang brothers’ robust physiques.
Inside, Li Chao smiled calmly, a firm resolve in his tone:

“So, it seems you intend to ignore my proposal?”
“Fine!”
“I hope you won’t regret today’s decision later!”
The Huang family had always been tyrannical in the village; no one dared challenge them lightly.
Facing Li Chao’s challenge, the eldest Huang brother slowly approached, a contemptuous smile curling his lips, with a forced grin:
“Do you think I was raised by fear all these years? You’re just an outsider, yet you dare to be so arrogant!”
“If you keep spouting nonsense here, I’ll cripple your legs first, then deal with Yu Xin!”
He even loosened his belt deliberately, the threat unmistakable.
The atmosphere instantly stiffened. The Huang family’s arrogance was somewhat tempered by the luxury car outside—after all, they doubted whether it was real.
The eldest Huang brother’s arrogance was soon met with Li Chao’s thunderous response.
Chen Shan’s face changed dramatically, his anger erupting like a volcano, and he delivered a fierce kick to the eldest Huang brother’s chest.
This kick was not merely an outburst of rage but a defense of Yu Xin’s dignity.
“Dare to use Yu Xin as a bargaining chip? You picked the wrong person!”
Li Chao’s voice was cold and resolute, like a winter’s chill that sent shivers down one’s spine.
The kick struck with the force of thunder.
The eldest Huang brother, weighing nearly two hundred pounds, was like a small boat overturned by a giant wave, unable to resist even a fraction of the blow.
He was slammed into the doorframe, the metal door denting loudly.
He curled up in agony on the ground, writhing and wailing.
“Fight’s on! This is going to blow up big time!”
From the crowd, Dong Lai’s eyes widened in astonishment.
He never expected his usually smiling brother-in-law to have such explosive power!
The second and third Huang brothers, enraged, jumped up, each wielding a wooden stool, shouting as they lunged toward Li Chao, trying to intimidate by sheer force.
“Brother-in-law, watch out!”
Dong Lai shouted anxiously.
But before he finished, Li Chao moved, not retreating but meeting them head-on.
His fists clenched like iron hammers, smashing fiercely at the incoming stools.
“Boom! Boom!”
Two loud cracks rang out; the stools shattered instantly, wood splinters scattering like fireworks.
Li Chao’s fists, relentless as a tireless machine, cut through the air with fierce wind,
landing precise blows on the chests of the second and third Huang brothers.
They, like kites cut loose, were flung into the air, then crashed heavily to the ground, spitting blood and struggling to rise but failing.
At that moment, the entire yard fell into deathly silence, only the Huang brothers’ agonized screams and the villagers’ gasps remained.
“This… how is this possible!”
Dong Lai’s eyes widened in disbelief. The Li family members turned pale, stunned speechless.
The onlooking villagers were dumbfounded, as if watching a meticulously choreographed martial arts film, utterly amazed.
In mere seconds, Li Chao single-handedly subdued the Huang brothers.
His agility and strength were breathtaking.
At that moment, he was no longer an unknown outsider but a hero in everyone’s eyes.
The scene before them defied all expectations.
Li Chao’s young yet resolute figure left an indelible impression on everyone present.
His power, courage, and composure shook all who witnessed it.
Huang Lao Wu stood afar, looking at his fallen sons with grief and fury,
clutching his phone as if it were his last hope, shouting for his fourth son with helplessness and despair.
Li Chao, however, stood calmly with arms crossed, quietly watching it all, as if everything was under his control.
“Looks like you’re not convinced!”
Li Chao’s words carried undeniable firmness.
“Fine, I’ll wait for your fourth son to come back and see how capable he really is!”
With that, he leisurely moved a stool beside him and sat down, his composure and confidence commanding respect.
Dong Lai looked at his brother-in-law with admiration and reverence.
He had never seen anyone so domineering and powerful.
By Li Chao’s side, he felt unprecedented security and courage, as if nothing was impossible with Chen Shan around.
Though the Huang family gritted their teeth in anger, they dared not make any rash moves in the face of Li Chao’s terrifying strength.
They could only silently help their injured brothers to a distance, anxiously awaiting the fourth son’s return.
In the backyard, Yu Xin’s father heard the commotion and hurried to see what was happening.
Upon witnessing the scene, he was stunned.
He had never imagined this seemingly ordinary young man possessed such astonishing strength and bravery.
At this moment, his opinion of Li Chao changed completely.
