Super Soldier

Chapter 229: The Little Huarei

The next morning, Xiao Bing awoke, with Ye Xiaoxi in his arms. Ye Xiaoxi’s so-called “reduce internal heat” remedy was to drink a cup of cold Coke, which made Xiao Bing feel despondent, when he slept.

But when he woke up in the morning and saw Ye Xiaoxi sleeping so sweetly next to him, Xiao Bing immediately had a tender smile on his face.

Despite Xiao Bing’s joking, he was still a man with principles. He would never force himself on any woman, let alone his favorite woman. Now that it was her decision, Xiao Bing would only bed her for the first time, on their wedding day.

“When that day comes, I will let everyone in the world know that I am married to the most beautiful bride in the world.”

At this time, in Shangyang City, Lord Long looked even fiercer than before. In these recent days, his heart was full of anger and rage, but he kept on waiting. He knew that any severe clearance would be over, sooner or later. On the last day of cracking down on crime, he would personally lead all his masters, to overwhelm the Hei Province.

“At that time, my anger will burn anyone, who dares to trick me and to resist me, to ashes!”

Lord Long was intrepid and domineering, like the ancient overlord Xiangyu of the Western Chu Dynasty.

When Xiangyu got angry, corpses appeared everywhere, and there were thousands of miles of blood!

When Ye Xiaoxi woke up in the morning, Xiao Bing had already made breakfast. They went into the dining room together for their meal, which included soybean milk, bread, sliced sausages and vegetable salad.

If you wanted to win a man’s heart, you should first grasp the man’s stomach, so too with the woman. Just like many jokes on the internet, a couple quarreled and the husband could not pacify his wife. As a result, the husband prepared a table full of delicious food, which the wife could not resist, and drooled continuously, and finally became reconciled with her husband.

So it was true for women, that food was second only to love.

Ye Xiaoxi was eating happily at this time. She felt very satisfied. Xiao Bing finished his food quickly. After he was done, he kept watching Ye Xiaoxi quietly.

Ye Xiaoxi blushed and said in a charming voice, “Why are you looking at me?”

“You are so beautiful!”

Ye Xiaoxi’s heart fluttered and she rolled her eyes. She said in a delicate voice, “Come on, you only know how to flatter me with pleasant words.”

Her supercilious look almost took away Xiao Bing’s soul. Looking at Xiao Bing’s passionate eyes, Ye Xiaoxi felt a little embarrassed. So, she knocked on the table and said in a charming voice, “Eat your food.”

“Oh… Oh.” It was only after picking up his chopsticks, that Xiao Bing remembered he had already finished his breakfast.

Seeing Xiao Bing’s unconventional appearance, Ye Xiaoxi chuckled and complained in a delicate voice, “I don’t believe that you are not a lecher. I wonder if you look at other women in the same way, when you are out.”

“Of course not. I swear. I absolutely do not do that,” Xiao Bing said confidently, “the only girl in the world who attracts me, is you.”

“You coax me with delusive promises!”

“I meant what I said.”

Ye Xiaoxi asked, “Brother Bing, how about going shopping with me, later?”

“Of course, it will be a great honor for me.”

Ye Xiaoxi stuck her tongue out and said, “It happens that I have not shopped for clothes for some time already. Although I can buy clothes online, it’s not as fun as going shopping.”

Xiao Bing sighed and said, “I don’t usually have time to go shopping with you.”

Playing on Xiao Bing’s guilt, Ye Xiaoxi deliberately said, “So I want you to accompany me today. It will be tiring, so it will give you an opportunity to make it up to me.”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “OK!”

After finishing breakfast, they left home together. Xiao Bing drove. They went to the famous shopping mall in Jiang City. They parked their car in the underground parking lot of the shopping mall first, then started strolling around the street.

There were all kinds of clothing stores all over the street. Xiao Bing realized that what Ye Xiaoxi said in the morning was true, and she was not kidding. He knew that women preferred shopping, and he even accompanied some beautiful stars, before. Ye Xiaoxi’s shopping enthusiasm was remarkable, and surpassed that of other women.

In an instant, Xiao Bing’s hands were filled with various bags, including clothes, jewelry and cosmetics. Ye Xiaoxi was happily walking ahead, and Xiao Bing was walking behind, like a real porter.

“Hey, Yezi, how much more stuff will you be buying?”

“Come on, just follow me. I have not shopped for a long time. Shouldn’t I spend lavishly?”

Xiao Bing smiled and said, “It’s okay to spend lavishly, but I can’t carry so many things in my hands. I can’t carry any more stuff that you will be buying.”

“Let’s bring it to the car in a minute.” Ye Xiaoxi stopped, turned around and looked at Xiao Bing. She smiled and said, “By the way, what would you like to eat at noon? I’ll treat you later!”

“It’s okay to have a break at noon, and eat whatever you like.”

“What, you already want to rest after accompanying me, for such a short while only.” Ye Xiaoxi complained but did not want to see Xiao Bing carrying so many things, so she said, “I will accompany you to the parking lot. Let’s put these things away first. What do you think?”

“I think it’s okay.”

Xiao Bing and Ye Xiaoxi came to the parking lot, and put everything they bought in the back seat of the car. Xiao Bing smiled bitterly and said, “It can be hard to accompany women to buy things.”

As he spoke, he closed the door, and Ye Xiaoxi stood aside, waiting for him.

“Hey, why are you making comments about the women like this?” Xiao Bing was stunned. Turning around, he saw a 6 or 7-year-old girl, with her hair tied in two ponytails. The girl’s eyes were big and innocent looking, but she was looking angrily at him. Beside the girl, was a 35 or 36-year-old woman, and she looked apologetically at Xiao Bing.

“Didn’t you hear what I said? My mother said that women can hold up half the sky.”

The little girl’s words sounded very mature, and she seemed to understand everything, but she looked so young. Xiao Bing and Ye Xiaoxi could not help laughing.

“Hey, you heard that. I was not the one who said that. This younger sister thinks you’re wrong. You’d better take a good look at yourself.” Ye Xiaoxi said with a triumphant smile.

The middle-aged woman pulled her daughter aside and apologized, “Sorry, my daughter is too young to be sensible, so she is just talking nonsense. Little Huarui, it’s impolite to talk to your uncle like that. Apologize quickly.”

“Mom, I’m right. Didn’t you tell me that women can hold up half the sky? Women are no worse than men, so we can’t be looked down upon by men.”

Xiao Bing looked at the girl who was shorter than his legs and kept saying, “we women, we women.” He could not help squatting down, laughed and joked, “Your mother is a woman, but you are only a little girl.”

Ye Xiaoxi couldn’t help laughing, and the mother of the little girl also laughed. She realized that Xiao Bing was not angry, and Xiao Bing seemed to like her daughter.

Xiao Bing asked, “What’s your name? Is Little Huarui your name?”

“My name is Liu Xiaorui, and my mother calls me Little Huarui. People I like, can also call me like that.”

Xiao Bing put on a sad face and said, “Then I can’t call you that?”

“Of course.” Liu Xiaorui raised her chin proudly. “Besides, I’m still a little girl now. When I grow up, I will be a woman, so you will still say something about me. It’s not okay to say something about my mother. I don’t like you.”

The middle-aged woman also squatted down, looked at her daughter, and said seriously, “Little Huarui, the uncle did not comment about me, nor did he comment about you. The uncle is joking with the aunt. It is rude of you to talk to the uncle like that. What did I teach you when you were young? Why not apologize to the uncle?”

Liu Xiaorui looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “Uncle, is my mother right?”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Yes, I was just joking with your aunt. And it’s normal that women like buying things. It’s human nature. It was a neutral comment instead of a derogatory comment.”

Little Huarui couldn’t understand what derogatory and neutral comments meant. She was too young now. She only knew that she had said something wrong. She misunderstood the uncle. Then she said softly, “Little Huarui is not right. Uncle, don’t be angry with me.”

“Haha, I am not angry. Little Huarui is lovely.” While saying that, Xiao Bing gently patted Liu Xiaorui’s head, then stood up and looked at the middle-aged woman with a smile. “Your daughter is very lovely. You are a fortunate person.”

“Yes.” The middle-aged woman seemed to love her child very much. She smiled happily. “Maybe God is compensating me by giving me such a clever and obedient daughter. Oh, we won’t bother you anymore. You go ahead.”

“OK.” Xiao Bing made a face at Liu Xiaorui, and then pulled Ye Xiaoxi away.

Liu Xiaorui looked up at her mother and said, “Mom, this uncle is really nice. He made a funny face at me. He is different from other uncles.”

“Yes.”

“If my father is still alive, will he make faces at me every day, to amuse me?”

“Yes.” The woman’s eyes was a bit gloomy. She sighed and said, “If your father is still alive, he will play with you every day. He will let you ride on his body, and play hide-and-seek with you.”

Xiao Bing and Ye Xiaoxi went into the mall, looked at each other and smiled.

Ye Xiaoxi smiled and said, “That girl is really lovely.”

Xiao Bing thought for a while and said, “Yes.”

“Hey, what are you thinking about?”

Xiao Bing said with a smile, “I was thinking… that we can have a baby later.”

Ye Xiaoxi blushed and she clenched her fist to hit Xiao Bing. “Well, you are so annoying. Only a ghost will be willing to give you a baby.”

“A ghost is going to give birth to a baby for me. Isn’t that a female ghost? Is that A Chinese Ghost Story…”

The two people began to chase each other and fight happily, in the mall.
