Super Soldier

Seeing Xiao Bing hanging up the phone, Yezi smiled and said, “It seems that Xiaoxiao is coming. I should go back.”

“Wait. What?” Xiao Bing was confused, “You are my true girlfriend. Why do you try to hide when other girls are coming?”

Yezi rolled her eyes at him and asked in a cute tone, “What? I’m a true girlfriend? So there are other untrue girlfriends?”

Xiao Bing was speechless for a moment. He said with embarrassment, “That’s impossible. I always live by the moral standard and I’m faithful to this relationship. I can never turn my eyes to a pretty girl…”

As he was saying so, a nurse opened the door. She walked in with a sweet smile, “How do you feel after waking up? Do you feel any uncomfortableness? Let me do a simple examination.”

Xiao Bing was totally bewitched by this pretty little girl, who had a baby face and looked so sweet and beautiful.

Yezi instantly pretended to cough, which made Xiao Bing restore his consciousness. “It’s okay. I’m feeling fine. But I think the examination is necessary.”

Yezi giggled, “Well, I should stop bothering you. And I’m somewhat sleepy. After all, I have been here for you for a whole night… I’ll go back to sleep and Uncle Lei will stay to keep your company. He will come back when Dumbass is here.”

The door was opened again. Dumbass craned his neck and spoke loudly, “It seems that I came early. I was asking Uncle Lei questions and we were having great fun. Isn’t there a saying that good friends regret not meeting each other more often?”

“Your knowledge is chaos. It’s ‘good friends regret not meeting with each other sooner’.”

“Oh, yeah. Sooner, sooner.”

Yezi grinned, “I go home to have a rest with uncle Lei. We’ll come back in the evening.”

“Okay. Have some good rest. I don’t want you to be very tired.”

Yezi said in a cute voice, “Save it, I know you are coaxing me with your flowery words.”

Though she said it, she felt like eating honey when hearing those words.

Yezi curiously asked when they went out of the central lobby, “Uncle Lei, what did you talk about with Dumbass?”

Seeming vexed, he answered, “He’s Xiao Bing’s friends? He’s just so tough and curious about everything… He asked me whether it is interesting or not to be a bodyguard, and how many bowls of rice I can eat and how I usually train myself and what’s the difference between being stupid and being dumb… I don’t want to see him again.”

Yezi could not help but smile, “I have no idea to help you. Uncle Lei has to come with me these days. The one Brother Xiao offended is no ordinary person. I can’t rest assured if someone else comes with me.”

Feeling helpless, Bao Lei sighed.

Yezi knew too well about her uncle Lei. In the Ye Family, he was the second powerful man. Except for Ye Bancheng and Yezi, he would never spoil anyone. He wouldn’t even give a damn about Ye Xinyi and her brother. Usually, he was aloof to others and people would be impressed if someone could make him talk more. No matter how difficult Dumbass was, it was obvious he liked Dumbass, since Dumbass could make Bao Lei break his usual rules.

“The old man is not mad about what happened yesterday?” asked Yezi.

“No,” answered Bao Lei, “My lady, don’t blame me for telling the truth. In the Ye Family, you’re the only one who can be spoiled by boss that much. The thing between you and boss…”

“I know,” said Yezi, “But I can never forget the fact that he betrayed my mother. I didn’t even know if he was with that women before my mother’s death! If it’s not true, how come she stepped into my home so quickly after my mother died? Forget it; he still has my sister and brother.”

Bao Lei sighed, “I did not mean to talk about it behind his back. You’re even franker than your mother. Though there is a problem between you and boss, you are purer and more filial than anyone else. Your brother and sister are different.”

“My brother is a good person.” Yezi suddenly said and realized by saying that she meant that her sister was not kind. She quickly shut up and stopped bringing it up.

In a theater of the eastern section, there were dozens of audiences who were basically all men if one paid attention. They all sat up straight and were very carefully watching the play like students taking a class.

The play was an excerpt from The Romance of The Three Kingdoms. The actors were all in heavy makeup, which made it hard for the audience to know their faces.

One of the actors was playing Zhuge Liang. He was wearing a traditional hat and holding a feather fan, singing the lines of “Kill Ma Su” with the tone Beijing opera, “Ma Su, you just said that your mother was over 80 and no one was there to take care of her. After you died, your mother will inherit your salary and food as her pension.”

The player of Ma Su, who was in white makeup and a Beijing Opera robe sang, “Thanks, my lord.”

Zhuge Liang pointed at Ma Su and sang, “Kill…him.”

Two men stepped forward and were about to take Ma Su. All of a sudden, Zhuge Liang snatched the fake saber from one of them and chopped Ma Su’s head off after he roared for a second. The head fell hard on the stage with a loud sound.

The theater fell into silence. Everyone knew that the East Heaven King was in a bad mood, and whenever he was unhappy, people around him would die. This Zhuge Liang was the East Heaven King, the Paint-face.

There was blood all over the stage. The soldiers’ players were all frightened. But the Paint-face continued, “Take him away. Take him away…”

“Yes, my lord…” Then these men took the body away in a flurry. Soon there was applause.

The Paint-face walked to the backstage and saw a gorgeous woman sitting on a chair. Who could it be except for Ye Xinyi?

She was wearing a revealing back dress. The Paint-face had been staring at her since he walked in. Ye Xinyi stood up and walked up to him. She drew a deep breath and said with despise, “You killed people again.”

Though she was displeased, her voice was still tempting, so were her eyes.

“What happened? You are not happy?”

His eyes were overwhelmed with lust, but he still said as if he was acting in an opera, “Beauty Ye, what do you think of Xiao Bing…”

Ye Xinyi suddenly grinned. She put her hands on his shoulders and made him sit on the chair. She stood behind his back and pressed her body against his while rubbing his face. “What… I’ve never expected that the East Heaven King to be jealous.”

The Paint-face clutched onto the handle so tightly that it soon was broken. Then he sang, “I can kill him…”

“No, you can’t,” said Ye Xinyi in a tempting voice, “because if you kill him, I’ll never speak to you.”

The Paint-face stopped singing and spoke normally. But he sounded a bit angry and upset, “You fell in love with him?”

“No, I’ll never fall in love with anyone. Compared to him, you are more lovable, because you are more obedient…”

The Paint-face asked in a husky voice, “Then why didn’t you let me kill him?”

“That’s the North Heavenly Queen’s job. You have nothing to do with it. Besides, I have my own plan… You saw it last night. My little sister truly has a crush on him…”

“Your sister loves him… I don’t see the connection. All I care about is you…”

“Of course, I know.” Ye Xinyi gently pressed her face against his face. She seemed to be proud of herself. “That’s why I told you. Compared with him, you are more lovable. Because you are more loyal than him… One day, when I get what I want, I’ll tell others that I’ll marry you,” said she with a bewitching voice.

“However…” There was suddenly coldness, jealousy, and hate in her eyes. “My father is always partial. We are all his children. Both Ye Tianming and I always outperform my little sister. His little daughter knows nothing but causing him trouble. But no matter what my little sister does, he is always partial to her. She always gains more love from father than Ye Tianming and me. He is always like that since I was a kid. He did this more in recent years. Ye Xiaoxi has everything I have and everything I don’t have.”

“So I’ll take that man from her, and I’ll conquer his heart. I want her to know that the man she loves actually loves me… Hahaha… And when it comes true, I don’t care what you’re gonna do with this Xiao Bing.”

The Paint-face asked gloomily, “All of what you just said is true? It’s all because of your sister?”

“In addition to this, what reason else? Is there anything about him that attracts me? If it were me, my father would never offend North Heaven Queen and Master Hou for me, and he would never allow me to be his girlfriend simply because he saved my life. I know my father too well. For him, marriage has to benefit our family… I just don’t understand why Ye Xiaoxi can always do what she wants!”

The Paint-face gritted his teeth, “Fine; I promise you that I won’t take part in the things between Xiao Bing and the Queen. But if she kills him, I definitely have nothing to do with it.”

“Don’t worry.” Ye Xinyi bent down and lowered her head. She put her lips near his earlobe and gently blew in it. Then she licked it and felt his rapid breath. The satisfaction in her eyes was quite conspicuous. “Soon you’ll get what you want if you do as what you are told… When I get everything, I’ll be your woman, truly.”
