Chapter 1244 Damn, who is this kid?

"You'll know when the time comes! Hurry up, let's go catch up with my sister and the others!"

However, Lin Youwei did not give a direct answer to Li Xiangnan's question. She just covered her mouth with a smile, pointed at her two sisters who were playing with Song Yi and Ding Yuqiu not far away, turned around in front of Li Xiangnan, and stretched out her finger to signal him to stand up.

"You've learned to keep people in suspense!" Li Xiangnan supported himself on the ground, and stood up shakily with his feet in a bow stance. However, just as he straightened his waist, he fell to the ground with a thud, looking so embarrassed.

In the south, it only snows when the weather is very cold. There are only a few days of snow throughout the year, not to mention that the rivers, lakes, and ponds are frozen enough for people to stand in. Even if they are frozen, no one dares to skate on the thin ice.

How could he, who came from Hongshan County in southern Anhui Province, know how to ice skate?

"Hahaha!"

The hooligans and gangsters around him burst into laughter when they saw him like this, but the smiles on their faces soon froze.

"I gave you some time to adjust, but how come you can't even stabilize your body after more than ten minutes?"

Song Yi led several female comrades including Ding Yuqiu, Qiao Henwan, Jiang Qitao, Lin Chuqiao and Lin Muyu to surround Li Xiangnan. She stretched out her hand and pulled Li Xiangnan up from the ground.

"Youwei, you are really something. Xiangnan has never skated before, why don't you teach him a lesson!" Lin Chuqiao hit her sister on the head with a chestnut and said unhappily, "How dare you laugh!"

“Hahaha!” Lin Youwei stuck out her tongue and couldn’t help laughing: “Sister, this guy is so stupid. I remember I was only six years old when I was skating, and I learned it in just a few minutes! Look at him, he’s so cautious, it’s so funny…”

Li Xiangnan cast a resentful and depressed look at her.

A group of young men and women laughed.

The ice surface was a bluish-gray color like old film, and the winter sunlight in Shichahai seemed to shine through a layer of frosted glass, shrouding the open-air ice rink in a hazy white mist.

Seven or eight women formed a half crescent moon, holding Li Xiangnan at the center of the circle, as if many stars were holding the only sun.

"Lean forward with your center of gravity on the front, swing your arms and move your feet. I'll give you a push..." Song Yi pulled Li Xiangnan's arm and stood behind him to give commands.

"Okay!" Li Xiangnan, who was the focus of everyone's attention, had no choice but to bite the bullet, clamp his legs together, and slowly try to slide forward.

But Song Yi suddenly smiled and pushed him forward. Li Xiangnan then shouted on the ice, "You're tricking me!", but his body flew faster than the sound, sliding forward with a hissing sound.

"Hahahaha!" The girls burst into laughter and chased him, pushing him forward one by one.

They were wearing old-fashioned figure skates, and the teeth of the skates hit the ice, splashing fine ice chips, as if a handful of crystal powder were scattered.

They formed a half-open clam shape, holding Li Xiangnan, who was wearing a military green cotton-padded jacket, in the middle, fearing that he would fall again. It was like a New Year painting scene from a meticulously painted New Year painting.

"Damn, who is this guy? It's okay to have just one girl, but can he take care of so many girls?"

The alley urchin who had just laughed at Li Xiangnan was smoking on the sidelines. He was stunned when he saw this scene and almost burned his fingers with the cigarette butt.

"I asked, and this guy is the one Han Qijin dealt with just now! Qijin, the troublemaker, originally thought that this guy was wearing a second-hand tattered coat and was just an alley urchin like us! But it turns out that he has powerful connections, and even Qijin was defeated!"

"Yeah, I saw it too! Luckily nothing happened. If anything had happened, I'm sure Qi Jin's 170-plus kilograms of flesh would have been reduced to 5 kilograms in the police station, and he'd still be in a box!"

"You don't know, he not only knelt down but also peed himself! How shameful! He's so brave, guess who he wants to go with him? I'll scare you to death if I tell you! That guy, did you see him, the one who pushed that kid? His last name is Song!"

"What the hell? The last name is Song? Shit, is it the Song family that flies the Red Flag?"

The crowd roared and their faces turned pale. They looked at each other, and sweat was all on their foreheads.

"Humph," the man who had just spoken laughed again, "I just went to ask Qi Jin's people. Fortunately, we didn't cause any trouble! Captain Qin from the Municipal Bureau, hey, he's the family member of that gentleman!"

"Fuck!"

Everyone around reached their climax in an instant, and all their eyes were fixed on Li Xiangnan.

These naughty boys and alley urchins are the ones who love to talk about all kinds of gossip, historical stories, and various hidden secrets in Yanjing.

When I heard this, my calves started to tremble.

There was a sudden silence in the wind for a few seconds.

"Then isn't his father-in-law Minister Qin? Isn't his grandfather-in-law General Qin?"

"This is even more terrifying than the Song family!"

"Fuck, don't even mention Qi Jin is scared to death! Even if it's our City Lord..."

This news spread like wildfire, and the alley urchins wearing second-hand military coats on the sidelines stopped in the ice rink almost at the same time, went up to the bank and gave up the ice.

They waited on the sidelines, their eyes quietly fixed on Li Xiangnan.

There was envy for him being the center of attention, but also an inexplicable sense of awe.

"Brother Tiger! Everyone has gone ashore! I asked and they said it was said by Cheng Ye!"

A young man from the compound ran up to Cao Xianghu and whispered something in his ear.

Cao Xianghu looked sideways and saw that the shore was densely packed with people. Almost all the gangsters and alley urchins who came here to play today had retreated. He was shocked and squinted his eyes, and instantly understood everything.

"It seems that everyone knows Li Xiangnan's identity!"

"Brother Tiger, shall we go?"

Cao Xianghu shook his head. "We can't start a fight, but we have to keep a trick up our sleeves. If a conflict breaks out... We are from the same school after all. We won't be bullied by outsiders! Tell my brothers to be alert!"

"Yes."

In the distance, a man wearing a military coat bought a lot of candied haws and brought them to Hu Yinglong who was squatting on the ground sorting his ice skates.

"Brother Long, damn, Han Qijin just left, why is there another problem? Look, they have all come ashore!"

Hu Yinglong tied his shoelaces, stood up and looked around, squinting his eyes, "It seems that the city master of West City is here to play today! He knows the rules and won't cause trouble! Give me the candied haws!"

He took the candied haws and held them in his arms. He glanced at the direction where Li Xiangnan was, walked over, and shouted with a smile: "Sisters, please don't make things difficult for my brother Nan! Eat some candied haws! Let him rest!"

"Oh, you finally came to save me! Defa Weidong and the others would laugh at me!" Li Xiangnan was jealous and broke free from Lin Muyu's hand. He ducked down and slid directly to the shore and sat on the ground.

Seeing the female comrades looking at him again, he quickly clasped his fists and said, "Girls, I know how to do it. I really know how to do it! I'll show you how to skate later. Let me rest for a while! You guys eat, you guys eat!"

"Hahaha!" Hu Yinglong smiled and called Li Xiangnan "sister" all the time. After distributing the candied haws to the girls, he pulled Li Xiangnan up from the ground, helped her sit on a chair on the shore, and handed her a cigarette.

"Brother Nan, did you see that all the street urchins have left?"

Li Xiangnan nodded calmly, "I discovered it a long time ago! What are they going to do?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Yinglong stood up with a nervous look on his face.

I saw all the alley kids on the opposite bank got off the ice rink, and a large crowd of people skated towards here.

A casual count revealed that there were several hundred of them.

Hu Yinglong waved his hand, and a dozen men in military coats gathered around him and protected him and Li Xiangnan.

"Borrow a fire!"

A voice sounded, and the two turned their heads to look. Cao Xianghu, a cigarette in his mouth, slid over with a dozen people.

Li Xiangnan took out a lighter and tapped it beside him, then lit it with a snap. "Why haven't you left yet?"

Cao Xianghu didn't sit down. He patted his hands, exhaled a puff of cigarette, and said casually: "I'm not working or going to school. I didn't sneak well, why should I leave!"

Li Xiangnan sat carelessly on the bench and smiled slightly.

"southward!"

Song Yi led a group of female comrades, and Wang Defa led a group of male comrades and they all gathered around.

"It's okay!" Knowing what they were worried about, Li Xiangnan waved his hand.

The people skating around had already been frightened by the opposing team's formation, and the middle ice rink was already empty.

At this time, a man with a long backcombed hair came over with his hands behind his back. He stood still in front of everyone and smiled at Li Xiangnan, the only person sitting in the crowd. He clasped his fists and said, "Excuse me, is that Mr. Li?"
