Chapter 153: Zhi Yin, You’re So Beautiful
Looking at the foul-mouthed Zhang Yuan Zheng in front of him, Zhang Yi found him somewhat pitiable. This man still deluded himself into thinking someone would come to rescue him. He probably believed that the snow disaster would soon end, allowing him to return to his life as a star and continue looking down on ordinary people.
It was no wonder that those with higher status and wealth feared the apocalypse the most; they had the most to lose.
"Let's go," Zhang Yi said, not wanting to waste any more time with Zhang Yuan Zheng, and called for Xu Hao to leave.
However, Zhang Yuan Zheng wasn’t happy about being ignored. "Where did you come from? Do you have food? We're far from the supermarkets and stores that common folks go to. We used to get our food flown in from abroad, but now it's too cold for planes to fly. Damn, those useless people took my money and did nothing. When this is over, I'm going to sue them!"
He continued in a commanding tone, "You have food, right? Sell me some, I'll pay ten times the market price!"
Zhang Yi sighed. "I have things to do and didn’t want to bother with you. But you are really asking for it!"
With that, Zhang Yi swung his hand, slapping Zhang Yuan Zheng hard across the face. The force knocked Zhang Yuan Zheng to the ground, blood and teeth flying.
Zhang Yuan Zheng held his face in shock, pointing at Zhang Yi with trembling fingers. "You... you dare hit me! Do you know who I am? I’m Zhang Yuan Zheng! You’ll pay for this!"
Zhang Yi, truly angered, rushed forward and kicked Zhang Yuan Zheng’s face repeatedly with his heavy snow boots."You idiot, do you really think you’re so important? Trying to act tough with me? I'll beat you to death!"
Xu Hao joined in, kicking Zhang Yuan Zheng several times. Zhang Yuan Zheng, initially defiant, soon started crying and begging for mercy.
"Stop, stop it!" A voice called out from the villa, interrupting the beating.
Zhang Yi and Xu Hao looked up to see a slender figure emerging from the house, wrapped in layers of clothing. The figure approached, and as they got closer, they removed their hat and scarf, revealing a delicate, pale face.
"Is it really him?" Zhang Yi and Xu Hao both exclaimed.
The face belonged to none other than Cai Mingyu, a well-known idol who had risen to fame over the past few years.
Seeing their surprised expressions, Cai Mingyu smiled confidently. "I see you recognize me. I’m the famous idol, Cai Mingyu. This person you’re beating is my friend. I hope you can spare him for my sake."
Zhang Yuan Zheng, emboldened by Cai Mingyu's presence, got up and sneered, "I’m Mingyu's close friend! You’ll regret this when his fans come after you!"
Zhang Yi found their ignorance pitiful. Cai Mingyu frowned and pulled out a lip balm from his pocket. "The air is so dry, my lips are cracking," he said, applying the balm.
As he did so, he asked, "Aren’t you sent by Director Shi to take me away?"
Zhang Yi, puzzled, replied, "No, we're just passing by."
Cai Mingyu's eyes dimmed, looking like a jilted lover. "How could she abandon me like this? She promised to love and care for me forever."
Zhang Yi understood the nature of Cai Mingyu's relationship with Director Shi. "We have things to do, so we’ll be leaving. Goodbye."
Cai Mingyu blocked their path, "Wait! You must have food. Please share some with us. I can give you my autograph in exchange."
Zhang Yuan Zheng chimed in, "You’re lucky! Mingyu’s autograph is worth thousands online!"
Zhang Yi laughed, "Not interested."
If not for his principle of not hitting women, Zhang Yi might have already attacked. Cai Mingyu, biting his lip, seemed to steel himself and said, "Fine, we can take a photo together! How about that?"
Zhang Yuan Zheng's eyes widened, almost in tears. "Mingyu, no! You can’t just take photos with anyone. They don’t deserve it!"
Cai Mingyu, determined, replied, "Dada, we need food. I’m willing to make this sacrifice."
Zhang Yuan Zheng, wiping his nose, reluctantly agreed, "Fine, I respect your decision!"
Turning to Zhang Yi, he said, "You hear that? Mingyu will take a photo with you. This is your lucky day! Just give us some food."
The two of them were so absorbed in their self-congratulation that they didn’t notice Zhang Yi's bewildered expression.
Shaking his head, Zhang Yi muttered, "I can't believe people like this exist."
Xu Hao laughed, "Brother Zhang, don’t think celebrities are any better than regular people. Many of them are worse."
"I’ve slept with quite a few 'pure' idols and pretty boys. Their private lives are a mess!"
"Take Cai Mingyu, for example. He’s been kept by a female bigwig in Tianhai. Otherwise, how could he live here?"
Ordinarily, Zhang Yi might have enjoyed toying with these clowns, but he had important things to do today.
He waved them off, "Move aside. I don’t have time for this."
Hearing this, Cai Mingyu and Zhang Yuan Zheng's faces changed, as if they had heard the most unreasonable request.
