Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

Besides the relaxed work environment and slower pace of life abroad, the biggest issue we encountered was discrimination, specifically, European and American discrimination against Asians. Even when we went out with Rong Zixuan, a towering 186'" man, we were still subject to verbal provocations and attacks from foreigners. They would even deliberately press their eyes together with their fingers to narrow them into a line as a taunt. At first, we figured we were new to the place and unfamiliar with the place, so we'd just bear it. So, when we encountered such situations, we simply ignored them, letting them run wild. But after enduring this for too long, they began to think we were easy targets, and their behavior only intensified.

One day, the four of us were on our way to a cafe when a tall, blond, blue-eyed, high-nosed foreigner approached us, squinting his eyes in a provocative, increasingly exaggerated manner. The three men's faces darkened, their teeth gnashing, but they endured it. But! I! Can't! Take it! Anymore! I can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore! I quickly ran through what foreigners fear, what might break their defenses, and I figured it out!

At less than 190'", I looked tiny next to the other guy, who was over cm tall. But I wasn't afraid! I walked up to him and stopped, then paused for two seconds. With a pained expression, I turned my head and fanned my nose with my palm. This move completely broke his defense! He immediately started cursing, all kinds of obscenities spilling out. The word "furious" was perfectly embodied in him.

Seeing me being scolded, Rong Zixuan strode forward and exchanged insults. I calmly told the foreigner, "My friends and I have recorded what you just did. If you want to be charged with racial discrimination in court and let your family and friends know that you are a complete racist, you can continue." With that, the foreigner fled.

"Wei Qing, you are really awesome," Senior Brother Wen came up to me and gave me a thumbs up.

"Brother, you have been here for two years. How can you still tolerate their provocation? I can't even stand it for a month," I asked him back in confusion.

"I don't want to put up with it either, but based on the principle of less trouble is worse than more, I always think about it and let it go. Besides, there aren't many people with such low quality."

"Not many? Senior brother, this is the third one we have encountered this week. Today is Thursday, and we can almost have one a day. This is not a lot!" Rong Zixuan said excitedly.

"If he started cursing like that, I'd be afraid he'd hit me. Look how tall he is."

"No, senior brother, you are also about 1.8 meters tall, right?" Rong Zixuan went over and compared his height with that of senior brother Wen.

"Although I am 1.8 meters tall, I am strong."

"What's there to be afraid of, if you don't agree, just fight!"

"This kind of bodily harm will result in a court summons. I don't want it to affect my studies. I only have one year left to graduate."

"Look, it's because you guys are so indulgent that they can discriminate against and provoke us so brazenly. If you dare to fight back once, their arrogance will subside. And you, a top student, can actually tolerate this kind of thing..."

"You can't say that"

"You have to fight back. I won't offend anyone unless they offend me. Look at him running away just now. It's because he knows he's in the wrong. If you're right, you can conquer the world. What's there to be afraid of?"

"This... Liang Yan, you should say something too." Senior Brother Wen was speechless after what I said, and had to ask for help from Liang Yan, who was silent beside him.

"Me? I have nothing to say!" Liang Yan said awkwardly.

"Okay, Liang Yan is about the same as you." I raised my hand and pinched Rong Zixuan's face, smiling and said, "My Zixuan is still the best!"

"Of course, I won't let my son Aqing get hurt," Rong Zixuan said, holding my hand.

"Eh~", Senior Brother Wen and Liang Yan made a strange sound together. When we looked over, they had expressions of disgust on their faces.

"What's that expression on your face?"

"You have a look of disgust. You've been fed a lot of dog food, and you're not allowed to be disgusted by us," Senior Brother Wen said with disgust.

"Tsk, you two single guys can't understand. You're too gentlemanly. But in this world, being too gentlemanly comes at a disadvantage. You don't have girlfriends, isn't that also the disadvantage of being a gentleman?"

"Do you mean that Zixuan is being a hooligan because he has a girlfriend?" Senior Brother Wen asked with an evil grin on his face.

"The antonym of a gentleman is not a hooligan, okay? I just put it in a nicer way, you are just straight men, stuffy and unromantic." I wanted to continue but was interrupted by Liang Yan.

"Stop, that's enough! Give us two single guys a little bit of face."

"That's right, Wei Qing, I thought you were the gentle type, but I didn't expect you to be so tough."

"This isn't called strength, Brother, Qing, this is called a strong core."

"that is"

"Okay, let's not worry about whether the core is strong or just tough, there will be no seats in the cafe later," Liang Yan interrupted our conversation again.

In the café, the four of us continued our previous conversation, but it escalated into a discussion and debate. Senior Brother Wen and Liang Yan still believed that a little patience would keep things peaceful, while a step back would open up new horizons. Rong Zixuan and I, on the other hand, believed that if no one offended me, I would not offend them. Kindness should have a sharp edge, and we shouldn't let others take advantage of us. We each cited classics and refuted each other's arguments. It was a lively discussion and debate, but in the end, neither of us was convinced. But Rong Zixuan shared my views, and that was enough.

When I got back, I discussed it with Rong Zixuan again.

"Zixuan, do you agree with my point of view?" I asked while drinking water.

"I agree."

"But, at first, you also endured it silently like Senior Brother Wen."

"I'm new here and don't know the laws here. But seeing you bravely stand up and fight back gave me a shot in the arm."

"Really? You, a tall guy, still need a shot of cardiac stimulant?"

"Yes, I am an impulsive person. I am afraid that if I cause trouble abroad, it will implicate you. I am not afraid of punishment. My first mission is to protect you. If you are in danger, I will definitely be the first to come. If I lose my freedom, I will not be able to protect you in the first place."

"Oh, I'm so touched," I put down the cup and snuggled into his arms.

"Hahahaha, I said I love you. You are the one I have chosen for my life, so no matter what happens, you are my number one priority. I love you more than I love myself. But how did you come up with the idea to make that foreigner break down?"

"Oh! I love surfing. I saw netizens saying that foreigners have a strong body odor and they mind it, so I gave it a try. I didn't expect it to actually work."

"Hahaha, my smart Aqing", Rong Zixuan hugged me tightly, and I hugged him tightly too.
