Chapter 306: You Adults Are Weird

“Brother Lil Bei, you have no idea when you will come back next time, do you?”

Lil Bei nodded. After Su Peiya entered Dragon Teeth, she rarely came home. It would be worse with Lil Bei.

As expected, Lil Bei nodded and said firmly, “The regulations in the troops are very strict. We are not allowed to go out unless we are on a mission. We even need special approval to go home. But as long as I have a chance, I will definitely come back to see you and your mother.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “Forget it, it doesn’t matter. My sister seldom came back since she joined you. Even if you don’t have time to see us, we can understand, as long as you still remember us.” Su Xiaoxiao sighed again and hugged her thighs with a blank face.

Looking at Su Xiaoxiao, Lil Bei didn’t know how to comfort her. Even if he always wore a smiling face, he was not a man who loved to talk. Xiao Bing said to Su Peiya more than once that he would never be like Lil Bei, who was all his smiles before others and kept the pain to himself.

Xiao Bing could understand Lil Bei and he had also won Lil Bei’s respect.

Su Xiaoxiao exclaimed, “Actually, I really don’t want you to leave. Since my sister left, I have no one to talk to. Although I also have some good friends in my class, they all live like little princesses every day and they can’t sympathize with me.”

Lil Bei nodded in agreement. Su Xiaoxiao had gone through so many experiences. Naturally, she was more mature than her classmates.

“My mother is willing to talk to me, but I can’t tell her everything, especially anything unhappy. Girls never like to talk to their elders. So many people in the school gave me the nickname of Ice Woman.”

Lil Bei corrected her. “It is Ice Maiden.”

Su Xiaoxiao turned her head and glanced at Lil Bei, who blushed. Su Xiaoxiao smiled. “You can still get fresh with me?”

Lil Bei said awkwardly, “I’m just telling the truth.”

“Well, they all call me Ice Maiden, but I don’t like this nickname. They all see my face, but who can understand my heart?”

“In fact, to be honest, I like… I like Brother Bing, but he already has Sister Yezi. Maggie asked me to try, and I also know that I need to fend for myself. However, I can’t ruin other people’s happiness, especially Yezi’s, as she is my friend.”

“I really need a friend whom I can talk to from time to time about my feelings. Brother Lil Bei, you have been protecting me for months. Although I know you did that not only for my late sister’s but also at Brother Bing’s request, I still appreciate it. You sent me to school and brought me back every day for so long and I have regarded you as the only good friend I have. But now, my best friend has to leave, just like my sister who had to do her duty.”

Lil Bei smiled and said, “I will come back to see you, I swear.”

“I believe you.” Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lil Bei and said, “I also believe that you can keep your promise. But in order to fulfill your promise, you have to promise me one thing.”

Lil Bei asked, “What is it? Tell me, I will promise you.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lil Bei gravely. “You have to stay alive.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s words made Lil Bei’s heart tremble. Although he was still smiling, he was shocked. Especially when he saw Su Xiaoxiao’s expectant look. Suddenly, he didn’t know what to say.

They looked at each other silently for a long time. Then Lil Bei gave her an even brighter smile. “Of course I will stay alive. I won’t die.”

“Alas, this is the first time in my life that I have made a promise that I have no guarantee of fulfilling. But then, this is a well-meaning promise.” To stay alive was also Lil Bei’s goal, but it was not for him to decide. When he chose to join Dragon Teeth, he was always prepared to sacrifice himself for the people and the country, just like his colleagues.

Su Peiya was dead, but she was not the only one who died in the Dragon Teeth.

Su Xiaoxiao smiled happily, reached out her hand and said, “We have a deal.”

“Yeah.” Lil Bei reached out and hooked up with Su Xiaoxiao’s finger. “Pinkie promise.”

They put their thumbs together, both laughing from the bottom of their hearts.

For Su Xiaoxiao, Lil Bei was her confidant as well as her friend. For Lil Bei, Su Xiaoxiao was also someone important. In fact, she meant more to him. Although he knew Su Xiaoxiao loved Xiao Bing, some feelings were beyond one’s control. For such a long time, he had been looking after her every day. Su Xiaoxiao was often in low spirits. As she was not willing to bother Xiao Bing, she talked to Lil Bei instead.

Su Xiaoxiao was a beautiful and special girl. Lil Bei, who’d never had a relationship with anyone, could not help developing some feelings for her after being with her for so long. Especially since Su Xiaoxiao was a pitiable girl and he was used to protecting the weak. As time went by, Lil Bei sympathized with her more and more and that feeling grew and evolved into something deeper. However, he was not good at expressing it, so he had always kept these feelings in his heart.

“Lil Bei, are you going to perform any dangerous tasks?”

Lil Bei grinned and said, “The tasks given to us are always dangerous ones that others have failed to accomplish. But it doesn’t matter. I have been working in the army for so long. I’m young, but I’m experienced, so it won’t be too dangerous for me.”

“Lil Bei, at what age can you retire from the troops usually? If you are on missions every day in the army, wouldn’t it affect your relationship and marriage?”

Lil Bei grabbed his hair as he smiled. “It is hard to say when we can retire. For example, ordinary team members like us can retire at the age of 40 at the latest, because by that time, our physical functions will be not as good as those of the younger ones. Plus the country also considers our marriage and families, so even if you want to continue serving the country, you have to be transferred to some normal departments that deal with normal people. But for team leaders, unless they apply for retirement in advance, they can retire at the age of 50, because they are qualified, capable and people have confidence in them.”

“As for relationship and marriage… It is clearly stated in the rules that we can’t have them as long as we are in the military.”

“Ah…” Su Xiaoxiao was surprised. She said in anger, “Even dating is not allowed? After you retire at the age of 40, where will you have the time to develop a relationship? Even if you get married, it will be a hassle.”

Yeah, how could a young girl fall in love with an aged uncle unless he was a very rich man? But it didn’t mean they could not find someone to get married to. They just need to work harder than young men. However, even if they did find someone depending on their social positions or attractive wealth, they would have no passion like the younger men.

Could you imagine what kind of torture it would be when forbidding a young man in his twenties to have a relationship?

Lil Bei smiled wryly and said, “We can do nothing about it. Rules are rules. Since we have decided to serve the people and the country, we are prepared to sacrifice ourselves, including love. Someone fell in love with the woman that he was protecting during the mission, but he had to bury that love in his heart silently. This kind of thing always happens in the army.”

Su Xiaoxiao said with emotion, “You are all respectable, but also pitiful.”

Lil Bei still smiled and said, “As long as people can live a happy life every day, I won’t feel like I’m a pitiful person. We don’t know how many times we have prevented disasters caused by dangerous people and how many civilians and families we have saved. People can’t see this, but when we think about it, we still feel a lot of satisfaction in our hearts.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lil Bei in admiration, but he looked away from her. On one hand, he was not good at expressing himself, and on the other, there were the military’s explicit provisions. Let alone a relationship, members of Dragon Teeth were not allowed to have any romantic affairs with the women outside except for one-night stands. Even though Xiao Bing had slept with so many women, he had to comply with this rule. Therefore, Xiao Bing rarely appeared a second time in front of those women.

It was not because Xiao Bing was heartless. Xiao Bing actually didn’t like to do that, and the rules forbade him doing that.

Then they chatted casually about other small things in life as well as these people in the Xiao family. In front of Lil Bei, the ice in Su Xiaoxiao also melted.

Meanwhile, Xiao Bing stood at the gate of the mansion, looking at the backs of the two people sitting on the ground. With a smile, he turned back to the house.

Maggie jumped out from nowhere and approached Xiao Bing. She giggled and said, “Brother Bing, are you jealous seeing them like that?”

Xiao Bing hit Maggie’s forehead with his finger and smiled bitterly. “Smartypants. Don’t talk nonsense in future or your Sister Yezi will be jealous.”

Maggie covered her head and murmured, “I found out that you adults are all two-faced. Sister Xiaoxiao likes you, but she doesn’t say it; you like her and you also don’t say it; Brother Lil Bei likes Sister Xiaoxiao and he does not say it either. Aren’t you tired of living like this?”

Hearing this, Xiao Bing felt awkward. He said bitterly, “Who told you that?”

“Do I need someone to tell me? I have eyes. I am a talented girl and is there anything in the world that I don’t understand?”

Maggie looked smug, as if she was an emotional expert. Xiao Bing was speechless as he looked at her.
