Chapter 46 - Brother Bing, I'm



Chapter 46 Brother Bing, I’m Sorry

Xiao Bing had to hold Su Xiaoxiao and then rolled on the bed. The half-naked Su Xiaoxiao was lying in Xiao Bing’s arms and kept muttering, asking Xiao Bing to hold her tight. Her clothes were messy at this time, which almost triggered Xiao Bing’s impulses as a man.

“No… She doing this because she is sick. She has a fever and has caught a cold. She is Su Peiya’s sister. I can’t treat her like this.”

Xiao Bing struggled to get up from the bed and broke free from Su Xiaoxiao’s legs. Then he buttoned her other buttons for her again and put the quilt on her body. He said softly, “Xiaoxiao, you are sick. You must have a good rest, you know. I’m right beside you.”

Xiao Bing got out of bed and adjusted his breathing. He took another towel and soaked it with cold water. He put it on Su Xiaoxiao’s forehead. Then he moved a chair over and put it in front of Su Xiaoxiao’s bed. Xiao Bing turned off the room light and sat down on the chair to rest. He couldn’t help but think of what had just happened. The two of them cuddling together. He also thought of Su Xiaoxiao’s charming half-naked body. And he kept reminding himself that she was Su Peiya’s sister and tried to get rid of those images.

That night, Xiao Bing did not sleep. From time to time, he replaced the wet towel on Su Xiaoxiao’s forehead and fed her some warm water. Every two hours he wiped Su Xiaoxiao’s body. Every time he wiped her body, Xiao Bing had to maintain his concentration.

That was repeated all night. In the early morning, Xiao Bing surprisingly found that Su Xiaoxiao’s fever had receded completely. After a long sigh of relief, he felt so tired. Leaning on the chair, he fell asleep.

Su Xiaoxiao had been sick for the whole night. When it was dawn, she opened her eyes in a daze, looking for water to drink. After opening her eyes, she found that a cup of water was at her bedside. So she grabbed the cup and gulped it down. Then her eyes rested on Xiao Bing. At this time, Xiao Bing was sleeping on the chair facing her. She could tell that Xiao Bing was very tired. Although she had a fever and fell asleep last night, she could still differentiate between her dreams and reality. For example, she had hugged Xiao Bing but Xiao Bing calmed her down and did not take advantage of her. For example, Xiao Bing didn’t sleep the whole night to look after her.

Su Xiaoxiao put down the glass and looked at Xiao Bing with blurred eyes. It was no wonder her elder sister fell in love with this man. He would always surprise others. For example, he was very capable. Zhang Yizhi was invited by him. A capable man could make women feel safe. For example, he knew a lot. He could make noodles, cook food, and make egg cakes. He knew first aid, for example, her mother’s heart attack and her fever last night. He was also a gentleman. She was drunk and had a fever last night, and also accidentally hugged him. If it was another man… She felt scared just thinking about it.

Such a man, she had always hated him, resisted him… Was it because of her deep prejudice?

Xiao Bing suddenly opened his eyes while Su Xiaoxiao’s mind was drifting. The two of them immediately made eye contact, which caused panic in Su Xiaoxiao’s heart.

Xiao Bing said with surprise, “Xiaoxiao, are you awake? Do you feel better?”

Su Xiaoxiao said with some embarrassment, “I don’t have a fever anymore, but I’m a little weak. Brother Bing, thank you for last night… Go and have a good sleep. I’m okay by myself.”

Xiao Bing smiled, “I used to stay up all night when I was on duty. So staying up all night is nothing to me. It’s good if you’re okay, I was hesitating whether I should go to the restaurant today or take care of you at home.”

“I’m okay.” Su Xiaoxiao said hastily, “You’d better go to the restaurant to take care of the business. Mom is in the hospital. I didn’t do much to help and can’t hold back the noodle house any longer.”

Xiao Bing smiled, “How can you be regarded as a burden. What’s more, you often go to the hospital and take care of your mom. For your mom to have a nice daughter like you is already a great blessing.”

Xiao Bing’s eyes showed some sadness when he was talking. He thought of Su Peiya. If she hadn’t died, although her mother would have lost a husband, she could still at least have two daughters. Perhaps their family of three could still be happy.

Su Xiaoxiao seemed to know what Xiao Bing was thinking. Suddenly she said, “Brother Bing, I’m sorry.”

“What?” Xiao Bing was obviously stunned and smiled. “What are you talking about… It was my responsibility to take care of you last night. That’s what I should do as a man, regardless of the relationship between your sister and me.”

“No, I’m not talking about last night. What I mean is, my sister’s death… I have been blaming you all this time. Perhaps, it was not all your fault. It was my sister’s own choice.”

Xiao Bing’s eyes darkened and he sighed, “When I was the captain of Dragon Teeth, your sister was a key member of the team. Later I left it for a few reasons and set up an organization of my own. Actually, your sister didn’t need to go with me. She would have a bright future if she stayed in the army. But she chose to leave with me. I didn’t protect your sister. I can’t blame you for being angry with me.”

“But she liked you, so it was her own choice… No matter if it was to follow you or die for you, it was her own choice.” Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “Maybe I still have some bad feelings in my heart, but I don’t hate you anymore. I just want to ask you for a favor, which I have already asked you before, and you must help me to do it.”

“I know.” Xiao Bing said with a serious face, “Whether it is for you, for your mother, for Peiya, or for myself, I must dig out the truth and get revenge for Peiya.”

Xiao Bing was very happy that Su Xiaoxiao was able to forgive him. He took the opportunity to ask again, “Xiaoxiao, can you think about it again? Do you have any useful evidence with you? The man said to your sister before he died that the evidence was with you, but up till now we still don’t know what the evidence is.”

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and looked confused. “I’ve been thinking about it ever since the last time you told me. I even searched my room several times, but I couldn’t find anything that could be related to my sister’s death.”

Xiao Bing sighed and said with a wry smile, “Then I have another suspicion now. Maybe there were no traitors in the organization. Maybe the person who died with your sister just wanted to get some money out of her. There were no traitors and there is no evidence. All right, let’s not think about it for now. If you remember anything, let me know. Anyway, I’ll stay here for a long time. Have a good rest now.”

“Well, you should go back to your room and get more sleep. It’s still early.”

Xiao Bing looked at his watch. It was 4 o’clock in the morning. So he agreed, went back to his room and went to bed to sleep again.

Perhaps it was because he was too tired last night. He slept until over 9 o’clock in the morning. Xiao Bing got up from the bed and thought for a moment. Then he decided to go to the kitchen to make breakfast first. He took one portion of breakfast into Su Xiaoxiao’s room. Su Xiaoxiao struggled to sit up and hurriedly said, “It’s getting late. Go and eat your breakfast and then hurry to the restaurant. The store may be too busy. I can go to the kitchen and eat by myself.”

“No need. You lie down and I’ll feed you.”

Su Xiaoxiao still wanted to refuse. Xiao Bing said with a serious face, “Don’t forget, I can be considered as half a doctor. I learned a lot of simple medical knowledge in the army before, and I have also learned some from Mr. Zhang. Even though I only know a little, I can still handle minor illnesses like this. What you need now is to take a good rest and get your strength back. Lie down for a good rest today. Lie down on the pillow for me, and I will feed you.”

Seeing Xiao Bing being so serious, Su Xiaoxiao couldn’t refuse anymore. She lied on the pillow and let Xiao Bing feed her. She opened her mouth and secretly glanced at Xiao Bing, and then looked elsewhere.

This man… was so cruel last night, yet so gentle this morning.

“Cruel to the enemy, and gentle to me.”

“Surely he is more gentle with Yezi?” Su Xiaoxiao became unhappy when she thought of Yezi. But she tried hard to get rid of this idea. “Yezi is his girlfriend, how can I compare with her…”

Su Xiaoxiao finished her breakfast with those thoughts. Xiao Bing gently helped her lie down and told her, “I’ll go to the restaurant after eating. I’ll be back early this afternoon. If the business is affected, so be it. To your mom, her baby daughter’s health is more important than the business.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s heart was filled with satisfaction. She smiled and said, “Go and eat. Don’t worry about me.”

“Okay!” Xiao Bing went to the kitchen for breakfast and then hurried to the noodle house.

There were many people in the noodle house as usual. These people came for Xiao Bing’s famous exclusive noodles. They were unhappy because they missed Xiao Bing’s noodles.

Seeing Xiao Bing come in, Li Hong hurriedly pulled him aside and whispered, “Brother Bing, where have you been this morning and why are you so late? Many people have complained today. Just now there were some people who almost argued with Jingjing.”

Xiao Bing told her about Su Xiaoxiao’s fever and cold. Li Hong was surprised and said, “Xiaoxiao’s cold is more important.”

Xiao Bing laughed, “But it is also a good thing that those people are making trouble. It proves that the reputation of our Xiaoxiao Noodle House has become greater now. Everyone has come here due to our fame. This also helps a lot for our expansion. I will go to the hospital at noon today to discuss the expansion with Auntie Li.”

Li Hong said with shock, “Ah? You’re leaving again at noon?”

Xiao Bing laughed, “Don’t worry about them. They will still eat here even without the exclusive noodles. As you know, our Auntie Wang is good at cooking. I feel that her dishes are much better than other restaurants’. What’s more, I have some other ideas about this exclusive noodles. I’ll tell you about it later after I discuss it with Auntie Li at noon.”

Li Hong agreed with a puzzled face.
