Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 363 - 393 Chapter - The Cruelty Behind the Romance

Chapter Three Hundred and Ninety-Three

Seeing Chun Tao’s shy and bashful demeanor, Long Xiaoshan lifted her chin and began to kiss her passionately.

Chun Tao had never kissed Long Xiaoshan in public before.

Even though they were in a private box at the cinema, and it was quite dark inside.

But the feeling was still different from being affectionate in private, making her body tense. However, she soon melted into Long Xiaoshan’s passion.

Suddenly, the lights in the cinema turned on, and they realized the movie had ended.

Chun Tao expressed her disappointment, saying they hadn’t even seen the ending, not knowing what happened to the two protagonists and if they ended up together in the end.

Long Xiaoshan couldn’t care less about the soppy movie’s conclusion.

He took Chun Tao by the hand and walked out of the cinema.

Outside, it was already dark, and the weather felt chilly in the late autumn. Long Xiaoshan took off his coat and draped it over Chun Tao’s shoulders as they hooked fingers and walked onto the plaza outside the cinema.

"Get lost!"

A little girl around eight or nine was pushed to the ground, her roses scattering all over. The couple who shoved her quickly walked away.

The little girl quietly got up, not bothering to dust herself off, and hurriedly gathered the strewn roses. When she looked up and noticed Long Xiaoshan and Chun Tao standing not far away, her eyes brightened. She approached with a limp and said, "Big brother, buy a bouquet for the beautiful sister, won’t you?"

The little girl was wearing very thin clothes in the cold autumn breeze, clad in just a single layer and a pair of worn sandals, holding a big bunch of roses, looking at Long Xiaoshan with a pleading gaze.

"It’s so pitiful."

Chun Tao had seen the little girl being kicked to the ground.

"Indeed, quite pitiful," Long Xiaoshan said, moved by compassion, "I’ll buy all the flowers you have here."

The little girl was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening, her face brightening with joy: "Big brother, are you really going to buy all my flowers? They cost ten yuan each."

"Of course, how much will that be?" Long Xiaoshan said as he took out his wallet and started paying, glancing at the plaza. He suddenly noticed there were not just this one little girl selling flowers, but at least seven or eight others, equally ragged, peddling flowers as well.

After some thought, he said, "Go and call your fellow flower sellers. Tell them I will buy all their flowers."

"Xiaoshan, isn’t that too much?" Chun Tao asked, looking at him in surprise.

"Not at all, these kids are quite pitiable. Buying their flowers will spare them from having to stay out in the cold," Long Xiaoshan said as he handed a stack of money to the little girl: "Go on, hurry."

Only after receiving the money did the little girl realize the big brother wasn’t joking. She quickly ran off in excitement, shouting as she ran, "Little Xi, little Yue... come over here! There’s a big brother who wants to buy all our flowers!"

Soon, many little girls came running from all directions.

It wasn’t just the seven or eight Long Xiaoshan had seen; more came from outside the plaza, eventually, there were dozens of them.

Each one was carrying up to a hundred bouquets, totaling up to several thousand.

Luckily, Long Xiaoshan tended to keep a pile of cash in his Space Ring, avoiding any trouble of having to withdraw money when needed.

The people around witnessed the scene.

They all stopped and gathered to watch.

After all, thousands of bouquets of roses gathered together were definitely spectacular, and with the man handsome and the woman beautiful, watching Chun Tao surrounded by roses made many women show their jealousy and envy, turning to their male companions and saying, "Look how romantic he is."

"These are all fake roses, dyed with Chinese rose. There are people controlling these little girls behind the scenes. Only idiots would buy such a pile of fake flowers as a gift," some men jeered.

"Even if they’re fake, they’re still romantic," someone else remarked.

Soon Long Xiaoshan had paid the money to the few dozen little girls and told them to leave.

Seeing the roses scattered all over the ground, Chun Tao felt both touched and troubled, "Little Xiaoshan, how are we going to carry all these flowers away?"

As more and more onlookers gathered around, some even starting to film with their phones, Long Xiaoshan picked up a rose and handed it to Chun Tao, shouting to the crowd, "The flowers are for you all."

With that, he quickly pulled Chun Tao away from the scene.

The two of them laughed as they ran out of the square.

Chun Tao ran until she was out of breath, sat on the edge of the flowerbed in the park, and rested for a while before she could catch her breath.

Whether it was Long Xiaoshan’s romantic gesture or his considerate act of letting those little girls avoid the cold, Chun Tao felt that such a man was perhaps the most perfect lover in a woman’s heart. Although Long Xiaoshan wasn’t always by her side, even an occasional date filled with surprises like this was worth more than a thousand ordinary dates to most people.

Suddenly, a faint sobbing sound drifted over.

Long Xiaoshan’s brows furrowed, and he pulled Chun Tao with him to investigate.

Soon, the two of them saw a group of little girls in a corner of the park—the same ones who had been selling roses.

There were two tall men collecting money from them.

The little girls took out the money from their pockets and handed it over to them.

Not sure if one of the girls had hidden some money, a man slapped her across the face and kicked her hard several times, "Damn it, hiding money? Looking for death, are you?"

"Please don’t hit me anymore, I... I wanted to buy some medicine for my brother, his leg is almost rotting," the little girl cried out loud.

"You dare talk back?" The man kicked her a few more times, and the girl spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Don’t kick her to death; if she dies, how are we going to make money?" the other man cautioned.

"You got off easy this time, damn it. Go sell more flowers later, and you better double your sales today. If you can’t sell them all, I’ll break both of your brother’s hands," the man said coldly.

The little girl lay on the ground, struggling to move, not daring to speak.

Chun Tao’s eyes were wide with shock as she saw what was happening, "How can they be like this? Isn’t that the money you just paid them for the flowers? Why should they give it to them? Who are these people?"

Long Xiaoshan had heard some comments in the square about these flower-selling little girls being controlled by others.

However, he hadn’t realized that these controllers would be so cruel.

Seeing that these girls were being treated like slaves to control their selling of flowers filled Long Xiaoshan with rage.

Although he knew he couldn’t change all the injustices in society by himself and this was not his battle to fight, seeing such a situation unfolding before him meant he simply could not turn a blind eye. He walked over with Chun Tao.

The man who was shouting and chiding looked up as they approached, relaxed a bit when he saw a couple, presumably thinking they were just a regular pair of lovers, and barked, "If you want to make out, go elsewhere."

Long Xiaoshan seemed not to hear him and continued walking right up to them.

The men’s eyes narrowed; this couple was bolder than most. Usually, a simple shout from them was enough to make couples like these run away.
