Such Is Life

2/14/2026

All at once?

At Evan Lin’s words, the faces of the people on the other side changed all at once.

Is this guy out of his mind or what?

He only knocked that guy down just now because he caught him off guard. Now he actually wants them to come at him together?

Some of the people nearby who didn’t really know Evan Lin looked surprised when they heard him speak.

“This... this...”

Director Kaiyuan Yu, standing off to the side, looked even more troubled when he heard Evan Lin’s words.

He glanced at the white-suit man on the floor, then at the circle of bodyguards standing around, and just froze, not knowing who to help.

The white-suit guy was not someone he could afford to cross.

But as for Evan Lin’s skills, he actually knew a bit about them.

Queenie Tong quickly pulled Leon Yuan and Mia Miao behind her, while Serena Tong, still sitting, looked at Evan Lin and said, “Can you not go too hard on them?”

She was saying this to Evan Lin.

But as soon as she said that, everyone else who heard it got angry.

She’s telling him not to hit us too hard?

The lead man, bodyguard to the white-suit guy, already felt like he’d failed at his job today.

And now Serena Tong was asking that scrawny-looking kid to go easy on them?

Those words instantly ignited their anger.

They were men too!

They had their pride too!

Especially with all these gorgeous actresses watching!

“Let’s take him down first!”

No more words needed.

The lead man was so furious his hair almost stood on end.

Everyone saw him charge ahead, moving like a human wall, and in the blink of an eye he was right in front of Evan Lin.

He swung his massive fist, the wind whipping past his hairline, but with a dull angry shout, he was sent flying.

Bang!

Nobody had time to react.

All they saw was that huge figure lunge forward, then get knocked back, smashing through the floor-to-ceiling window and landing in the rooftop pool outside, sending up a splash.

He got kicked out just like that?

That was so fast!

What a powerful kick!

A whole crowd was stunned, still not able to react.

Evan Lin walked forward.

His pace was steady, and as he reached the rest of them, he kicked each one in turn.

Bang, bang, bang.

A series of dull thuds rang out.

The people who were standing just a second ago all got sent flying, one after another.

They all landed in the same spot.

The lead bodyguard, who Evan Lin had kicked out first, had just managed to poke his head out of the pool, only to get slammed back in by the next guy landing on him.

Water splashed everywhere.

Very quickly, everything around went quiet.

You could hear a pin drop.

Anyone else want to step up?

Evan Lin looked around, speaking calmly. From start to finish, he barely spent any time or energy on the fight.

Anyone who met his eyes quickly ducked their heads, terrified Evan Lin might pick them next.

If there’s no one else, then let’s call it a night.

Evan Lin looked at Serena Tong, whose eyes were sparkling with admiration. “So, where am I staying?”

“Oh, oh.”

Serena Tong snapped back to reality at Evan Lin’s question and quickly answered, “Sea-view suite 3201. Since we were in a rush, I asked the hotel staff—looks like there aren’t any empty rooms left.”

“But I booked a family sea-view suite, and there’s still an empty bed. I’ll take you over with me.”

Serena Tong stood up.

She spoke quickly, afraid if she slowed down even a little, Evan Lin would slip away.

“Wait, 3201?”

“Queenie Tong lives in that room too!”

“Seriously? They’re all staying in the same room?”

Just a second ago, everyone was shocked by Evan Lin’s fighting skills. Now, after hearing Serena Tong’s words, a few people thought it over and were instantly dumbfounded.

Being close is one thing.

But with everyone watching, a guy moving into Serena Tong’s suite?

Sure, the suite has a lot of beds, but in an instant, the looks people gave Evan Lin went from shock to pure jealousy.

“Let’s all go upstairs together. I’m actually kind of tired too.”

Queenie Tong stood up and looked at Evan Lin. “Perfect, we can pick rooms now.”

As soon as Queenie Tong made her decision, everyone around was completely stunned.

Some people had actually hoped Queenie Tong would step in and make Evan Lin find another room.

But with that one sentence, the last bit of hope they had was instantly crushed.

What about her?

Serena Tong thought of this and glanced over at Luo Yaoyi, who was still sitting there, looking spaced out.

From earlier until now, Luo Yaoyi had been like a meditating monk.

She sat perfectly still, her eyes a bit vacant, as if she was lost in thought, and hadn’t said a word.

Normally, in situations like this—when guys like the white-suit man show up—Luo Yaoyi is usually the first to jump up and fight.

With her Fire Spirit Mortal Body, Luo Yaoyi is now at least a master of the Finger Profound Realm.

“I’ll carry her.”

Evan Lin walked over to Luo Yaoyi.

Carry her?

Everyone around was confused again.

In less than half a day, they’d already witnessed one unbelievable thing after another.

Everyone watched as the young man walked over to the girl in red, reached out his hand...

He grabbed the collar at the back of her neck.

And just like that, he lifted Luo Yaoyi up from where she was sitting.

The whole thing looked like he’d just bought groceries at the supermarket, put them in a plastic bag, and walked out the door.

Keep the playful tone and complete the scene.

“Let’s go, let’s go. I’m tired too.”

Serena Tong and Queenie Tong stood up.

“Whenever you’re free, you can come hang out with us.”

As Queenie Tong was leaving, she smiled at Leon Yuan and Mia Miao, who were standing nearby.

That one sentence made Leon Yuan and Mia Miao feel a rush of excitement.

Especially Leon Yuan.

It had been ages since Leon Yuan had been treated so kindly by a top star like Queenie Tong.

“Yeah, yeah. If you need anything, just let me know.”

Mia Miao quickly nodded.

Evan Lin carried Luo Yaoyi like a takeout box.

He, Queenie Tong, and Serena Tong headed toward the elevator, and everyone along the way made room for them.

Everyone’s eyes followed Evan Lin and his group as they left.

They didn’t stop watching until the group got in the elevator and the doors closed.

Only then did people start to leave.

“Hey, Leon! Long time no see. I can’t believe you’re looking better than ever!” A man who had previously ignored Leon Yuan now walked up with a big smile.

“Leon, seriously, why didn’t you say anything before you came? I think I saw you at the airport earlier—we were on the same flight! Why didn’t you say hi on the plane?”

Another man, looking much more radiant, came over holding a wine glass.

Leon Yuan glanced at him.

He obviously knew the guy.

This man was a top star, and used to be Leon Yuan’s good friend.

But after Leon Yuan’s popularity dropped, they rarely kept in touch.

Earlier on the plane, Leon Yuan had actually tried to say hi, but the guy completely ignored him.

But now, after seeing Queenie Tong treat Leon Yuan with newfound respect, the guy was all smiles and friendly, coming right over.

Is this what life is all about?

Leon Yuan suddenly felt a bit dazed.
