Super Soldier

Ye Xiaoxi was afraid of being alone in his house since so many terrible things had happened to the Ye family. Hence, Xiao Bing could not stay in the Su family"s house. And Lil Bei was living underneath Ye Xiaoxi"s house, which enabled him to sense every moment around. It was a great relief for Xiao Bing.

Xiao Bing had already privately discussed the things that surprised him most with Lil Bei. It turned out that Lil Bei went out with Gao Fei by himself today to put up a fight. But the fight was not about doing a comparison. It was about exchanging their view about martial arts. Lil Bei felt that Gao Fei was more powerful than him.

Xiao Bing had already discerned that Gao Fei"s strength was unfathomable, but he was still surprised by Lil Bei"s judgment of him. That was because Lil Bei was from the Dragon Gate and one of the best among them. Few in this country were his match. However, Lil Bei could not tell Gao Fei"s true strength. A man as powerful as Gao Fei would definitely be treated with great respect by any great houses. Xiao Bing wondered why Gao Fei was willing to be at his service.

Xiao Bing had to stop thinking about it since he couldn"t figure it out. Lil Bei had intended to investigate this man by using the resources of the Dragon Gate but Xiao Bing stopped him. If the man and his sister did not want him to know their ident.i.ty, Xiao Bing then did not want to spend any effort to find out, since he liked this man and his sister very much.

Ye Xiaoxi was lying on the sofa in the living room alone, waiting for Xiao Bing. The maids had been waiting by her side but Ye Xiaoyi told them to go to their rooms and take a rest.

Xiao Bing almost had a heartache when he saw Ye Xiaoxi sleeping on the sofa. He fetched a blanket from the room upstairs and covered Yezi"s body with it. Then he slipped into the blanket, lay beside Yezi, and cuddled her and gently took her hands. His chest was against her back and her arms were in his.

The next morning, Yezi found herself in Xiao Bing"s warm arms when she woke up. She could not help smiling while trying not to open her mouth. Her nose had an upward tilt and her eyes arched like the moon. She was like a happy little kitten.

Actually, Xiao Bing had been awake for a long time. But he did not dare to move, in case she would be awakened. Now, Xiao Bing knew Yezi had woken up by her breath. He instantly held her tighter and kissed her gently on her fair, smooth face. "You"ve woken up, Yezi," said Xiao Bing with a loving smile on his face.

"Yes." She managed to turn around on the crowded sofa, pouting. Then she lay down in his arms, face to face. "I don"t remember allowing you to hug me," said Yezi while pouting her lips.

"You"re scared of the night. Actually, I"m not very willing to spend the night with you on this little sofa."

"Not very willing?"

While Xiao Bing was about to speak, Yezi suddenly kicked him in the chest. "Ouch!" Xiao Bing fall from the sofa. Then all he saw was Yezi"s tiny, jade-like foot hanging over his head. "Take that."

Xiao Bing then stood up and grabbed that tiny foot of Yezi"s and dragged her off the sofa while guffawing. Yezi screamed. But before she was about fall to the ground, Xiao Bing caught her timely. Yezi was shocked. "You don"t need the cane anymore?"

"I"ve recovered. I don"t need it anymore!" Xiao Bing seized her round her waist and walked upstairs. Yezi kept kicking around and struggling in his arms while shouting, "Let me go."

The maid was coming out of the dining room after she made breakfast and she saw Xiao Bing coming her way. She instantly covered her eyes with her hands and murmured, "I see nothing."

Xiao Bing grinned. "Stop thinking about that nonsense. I just need her to have a rest in her room."

"Yes." The maid stepped aside in a fl.u.s.ter and turned her back to them while thinking to herself, "G.o.d. It"s too much in broad daylight."

But Xiao Bing did not know what was in that maid"s head. He walked into Yezi"s room and threw her on the bed. "What are you doing?" asked Yezi vigilantly.

Xiao Bing could not help laughing. "What do you think I"m doing?"

"I"m a pretty girl whose skin is smooth as silk. I know what you want to do with me."

"So what is it that I want to do with you?" asked Xiao Bing, who was afire with curiosity.

"How am I supposed to know." Yezi picked up a pillow and tried to protect herself with it. "But you are not allowed to do it."

Xiao Bing guffawed. "All right. Stop thinking of anything else. I merely just want you to have some rest since you barely closed your eyes. And the personnel adjustment of the company is about to end. The company will be okay even if you are absent for one day. What do you think?"

"No." Ye Xiaoxi pondered for a moment and jumped down from the bed. "Why don"t I go to the noodle house with you today... And you need to help the business there. You are one of the owners. You can"t always leave the jobs to others. What do you say?"

Xiao Bing was somewhat convinced because the noodle house could not serve the exclusive lamian without him. Though this noodle house was already known by many people, that was mainly because he was there making lamian. The business there might be poor if he were to be absent for too long. It seemed that he had to begin working in the noodle house after Yezi got back on track.

Hence, Xiao Bing nodded his consent.

"Okay. I need to change my clothes now. Why are you still here?"

"It"s okay. I won"t watch you change clothes."

"You think I"m stupid enough to believe you? Why don"t we have breakfast first? I"m hungry."

Yezi covered her rumbling belly with her hands as she spoke. "Come, let"s go have our breakfast," said Xiang Bing with a smile.

Xiao Bing walked downstairs with his hands holding Yezi"s while the maid was cleaning the living room. She opened her eyes wide as she saw the two. "It can"t be so fast. Even stripping off clothes takes longer than this. Does the future master have a problem..."

"Mrs. Liu, what are you looking at?" asked Yezi out of curiosity.

"No-nothing. I"m working."

After they had their breakfast, they drove to the noodle house and parked the car outside.

After the expansion, the noodle house was more than double its previous size, and it still had the most customers on this street, even though Xiao Bing had not been there for a long time.

Everyone was busy with their work when Xiao Bing walked in. They all greeted Yezi with happy smiles on their faces when they saw her. And Yezi volunteered to wait tables. Xiao Bing then began making lamian. w.a.n.g Guifang stood in the center of the hall and spoke loudly. "All of the customers today are lucky because our boss is here and he can make lamian for everyone. Anyone who wants to eat lamian, please give us your order."

Soon afterward, those in the noodle house burst into applause. Though other restaurants could offer delicious food, they had no special courses like the lamian here. No one would give up the opportunity since Xiao Bing was rarely here. In the blink of an eye, w.a.n.g Guifang received more than 10 orders.

Sweat began beading up on Yezi"s forehead as she worked so hard. One of the guests whispered to another, "Why does this new waitress look like our chairman of the board?"

"Hush. Don"t be so loud. She is our chairman."

"Wow. The chairman is waitressing and serving us food. Will she deduct our salary?"

"Don"t be so loud. How is the chairman supposed to know us? Wait, I remember that her boyfriend is the owner of this noodle house. Look, isn"t that kung fu cook her boyfriend... It seems that we should pay more visits to this noodle house. The taste of the noodles is not important. We might get promoted if the owner of this noodle house has a good impression of us."

With Ye Xiaoxi and Xiao Bing"s help, the others felt the burden on their shoulders had greatly lifted, and the business there became better and better. Xiao Bing could barely take a minute"s rest. Zhang Jing approached him and spoke discreetly. "Today might be the busiest day for us. If the costumers keep coming here like this, we will soon be rich."

"We might also die of exhaustion if every day is like this."

Then the two looked at each other and smiled.

After they finished work, they began enjoying their dinner. Su Xiaoxiao helped with work after school and she joined them at the table.

When they had just begun eating and drinking, Xiao Bing got a call from Master Hou. "The car Long Xiaoyun was in has exploded on the highway. He"s been confirmed dead," said Master Hou briefly.

Frowning, Xiao Bing asked, "You didn"t do it?"

"No!"

Su Xiaoxaio and Yezi both fixed their eyes on Xiao Bing when he hung up the phone. Xiao Bing fell silent for a moment and put on a smile. "Bi Tingting will have a concert here the day after tomorrow and I want to take all of you there."

"Really?" The Barbie-like Maggie almost jumped. "I want to go as well."

"You like Bi Tingting as well?" asked Xiao Bing with a smile.

"Who"s Bi Tingting? Is she more beautiful than Xiaoxiao? She must be some kind of celebrity. I need to see her, too. I have never been to a concert before."

Xiao Bing became curious. Gao Fei and Maggie claimed that they were brother and sister, but from Xiao Bing"s point of view, Gao Fei had always treated Maggie like a princess. Hence, Xiao Bing once had an a.s.sumption that Maggie was a Missy from a certain big house. She sneaked away for some reasons that Xiao Bing didn"t know. But he was certain that Gao Fei was her protector. But if that was the truth, what kind of a Missy could she be if she didn"t know what a concert was?

"Emm... Maybe she is overprotected and she"s actually very young."

Xiao Bing pondered for a second and grinned. "No problem. Every girl here will have the opportunity to go to the concert the day after tomorrow."

"Really? All hail Brother Bing," Li Hong shouted first.

The girls shouted and leaped with joy. Almost everyone present was a fan of Bi Tingting, except for w.a.n.g Guifang, who barely knew anything about entertainment. Hence, it seemed that Bi Tingting was a truly influential person now.

Gao Fei suddenly spoke. "I want to go as well."

Xiao Bing cast her a glance of surprise at Gao Fei, who said, "There will be so many people there. I need to protect my sister."

There was a hint of a smile on Xiao Bing"s lips. "Okay. There happens to be one ticket left."

While everyone laughed and jumped with joy, Ye Xiaoxi cast Xiao Bing a glimpse from time to time. She felt worried as she recalled the anxiety in Xiao Bing"s eyes when he was on the phone.
