Chapter 94

Xiao Bing looked at Ye Xinyi's sincere and heartfelt gaze and sighed deeply, "Xinyi, living in this world, there's really no need to bear everything on your own. Just like in the military, the team is like a unit, and everyone is willing to entrust their back to their comrades. There are no true war gods in this world; the strength between comrades is the greatest. Even the iron-blooded soldiers are like this, let alone you?"

As Xiao Bing spoke these words, his expression was solemn and serious. Even though he had been retired for three years, deep down, Xiao Bing still considered himself a soldier.

Ye Xinyi looked at Xiao Bing, and her expression gradually changed. Previously, she had been acting, somewhat pretending, but now it was from the depths of her heart. She felt the mystery and power of this man, and she couldn't help but want to explore him further, to understand him more.

At the airport, Ye Xinyi had witnessed Xiao Bing's dominance and coldness.

At the death match, Ye Xinyi had seen Xiao Bing's ruthlessness and cruelty.

At this moment, Ye Xinyi felt a kind of indescribable sense of justice from Xiao Bing.

This man was more complex than she had imagined, and he must have many, many stories. No wonder her high-and-mighty sister had fallen for him.

Thinking of this, Ye Xinyi was even more determined to conquer this man.

Xiao Bing asked, "Is your hair dry?"

"Um... almost."

"Good, change your clothes. I'll take you back first."

Ye Xinyi smiled gracefully, "Thank you."

Before leaving, Xiao Bing threw some money at the front desk. From the way Xiao Bing threw the money, Ye Xinyi could feel that this man must have been wealthy in the past, at the very least, he couldn't have been a simple chef or noodle shop owner. What did this man do before? Was he really a soldier?

Ye Xinyi's heart was filled with doubts.

After leaving the hotel, Ye Xinyi's car, which she had instructed in advance, was already waiting at the hotel entrance. Xiao Bing declined Ye Xinyi's invitation, saw her off, and then returned alone.

The mid-term exams had just ended, and Su Xiaoxiao was resting on the sofa at home. Seeing Xiao Bing return, she glanced at the time but didn't say anything. Xiao Bing, feeling a bit guilty, said, "Ye Xinyi's sister almost got into trouble. I helped out a bit."

Su Xiaoxiao sat up from the sofa, patted the spot next to her, and asked, "Trouble? What kind of trouble?"

Su Xiaoxiao wasn't familiar with Ye Xinyi, but she and Yezi had a good relationship, so she naturally cared more about what happened to Ye Xinyi.

Xiao Bing briefly explained the situation, and Su Xiaoxiao, angry, said, "The world has really changed. There are all kinds of bad people. Did you just let that guy off so easily?"

Su Xiaoxiao was probably thinking about the time she was drugged.

Xiao Bing smiled, "The matter is already resolved. That guy probably won't be a man for the rest of his life."

Su Xiaoxiao was speechless. Xiao Bing's smile suddenly faded, and his eyes flashed with a faint coldness. He said calmly, "Sometimes, even lackeys have to pay a heavy price."

Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand what Xiao Bing was talking about and was about to ask more, but Xiao Bing stood up, stretched, and said, "Don't tell Yezi about this. I don't want her to worry. I'll call her and talk. Oh, by the way, the shop has been completed and will reopen in a few days."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Bing's back and could feel that he was hiding something from her, and a lot of it. But since Xiao Bing didn't say anything, she wouldn't ask either. Besides, Su Xiaoxiao had her own worries, and because of them, she sometimes couldn't sleep at night.

Back in the room, Xiao Bing didn't call Yezi first but directly dialed Ye Tianming's phone number.

When Ye Tianming received Xiao Bing's call, he was very happy and said with a smile, "Brother Bing, what's up? Calling me so late at night?"

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly, "Just call me Xiao Bing. You're still my brother-in-law."

Ye Tianming laughed heartily. After laughing, he said more seriously, "We'll deal with each other separately for now. I said before, I don't oppose you being with my sister, but I don't exactly support it either. Xiao Xi is simple and kind. Brother Bing... to be honest, after seeing your performance at the death match, I find you even more mysterious and terrifying."

"Isn't it good that a mysterious and terrifying person can protect Yezi's safety?"

"Brother Bing, you know our Ye family's status in Jiangcheng. Even Lord Hou wouldn't easily move against our Ye family. Xiao Xi can naturally be protected by our Ye family."

"Is that really true...?" Xiao Bing's eyes flashed with a strange light, and he suddenly sighed, "Let's meet tomorrow."

"Oh? Sure, I'll treat you to drinks."

"No, this time I'll treat you, and I have something to say."

"Okay... what time and where?"

"Tomorrow, I have to take care of some things at the noodle shop, hire a few employees, and Yezi just finished her exams, so we have a date... How about we meet at the barbecue place near our noodle shop in the evening?"

"Alright. Brother Bing, did something happen?"

"Nothing, we'll talk when we meet." Xiao Bing smiled, "You're my brother-in-law, so I need to build a good relationship with you..."

"Hypocritical, really hypocritical..."

"Ha ha, we'll talk when we meet. I'll call Yezi first."

After talking with Ye Tianming, Xiao Bing called Yezi and made plans to watch a movie together the next day. After the call, Xiao Bing went out of the room, intending to wash his face and go to bed, but he heard faint sobs coming from Su Xiaoxiao's room. Xiao Bing tiptoed over and stopped at Su Xiaoxiao's door.

Through the crack in the door and the light in the room, Xiao Bing saw Su Xiaoxiao lying on the table, holding a bottle of red wine. She had already drunk half the bottle and was still drinking while sobbing softly.

This little girl!

Xiao Bing gently knocked on the door. Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly put the red wine behind the computer, wiped her tears, and said coldly, "What's up? It's late."

Xiao Bing smiled, "Is it inconvenient?"

"No, come in."

The door creaked open, and Xiao Bing walked straight to Su Xiaoxiao's back. Reaching out his arm, he took the bottle of red wine from behind the computer, and with a look of pity, he sighed, "You already smell like alcohol. What's the point of hiding it?"

Su Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, and seeing the caring look in Xiao Bing's eyes, her eyes instantly reddened. She suddenly shouted, "What's it to you? Who asked you to come in? Whether I drink or not, what does it have to do with you? I just want to drink, I just want to drink, so what?"

As Su Xiaoxiao shouted angrily, Xiao Bing didn't get angry. He could feel her inner sadness. She was a strong girl on the outside, but she had accumulated all her委屈, sadness, and pain deep inside, hiding herself with a cold exterior, not wanting anyone to know or pity her.

But when someone truly cared about her, cared for her, and sympathized with her, her heart was also full of emotion. Because anyone in the world, in any corner, longs for these... supports.

Xiao Bing's hands gently grabbed Su Xiaoxiao's shoulders, listening quietly to her angry shouts, with a faint smile on his face. That smile seemed to be telling Su Xiaoxiao, "Don't be afraid, don't be sad. No matter what happens in this world, you still have me."

As Su Xiaoxiao shouted, feeling Xiao Bing's caring gaze, she finally couldn't hold back. Her cold exterior broke, and she burst into tears.

Xiao Bing gently held her in his arms and said softly, "Silly Xiaoxiao, if you want to cry, just cry."

"I don't want to cry, I don't want to cry... Are you here to mock me? Do you want to see me drunk?"

"No, you're wrong. I want to drink with you. Sit here and wait for me!"

Xiao Bing helped Su Xiaoxiao sit on the chair, then ran out of the room, down the stairs.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at the empty room, feeling a bit dazed. She suddenly felt a void inside. When Xiao Bing held her, she felt so comfortable, so secure, so safe. She hadn't felt that way in a long time.

After Xiao Bing left, it took a long time for him to return. During this time, Su Xiaoxiao sat there aimlessly, her mind in a mess. On one hand, it was because of her inner troubles, and on the other hand, thinking about that strange feeling just now made her heart race.

When she saw Xiao Bing return, she felt relieved, but her face turned cold. Although their relationship had started to become closer, once Su Xiaoxiao's inner world was exposed, she couldn't help but try to wrap her heart in coldness, making it hard for others to see.

Xiao Bing bought some barbecue from a nearby shop and brought a box of beer. He put the barbecue on the table and found a stool from the dining room. Su Xiaoxiao just stared at Xiao Bing.

After sitting down, Xiao Bing opened a few bottles of beer, placed two in front of himself and Su Xiaoxiao, and grinned, "Come on, I'll drink with you. If you want to get drunk, I'll get drunk with you!"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Bing, her eyes a bit unfocused. Xiao Bing smiled, "Are you already drunk? What are you looking at?"

"Looking at... your teeth are so white."
