Chapter 31 If Brother Bing Dies, I Wonst Live Either (1/2)
Xiao Bing looked at Ye Tianming who was confused. He smiled and said, ”You love your parents and your sister. You're a gentle and strong man. Now, there are not many people like you.”
”That's your reason?”
Xiao Bing nodded and said, ”From one angle, I would like to be friends with you.”
Ye Tianming's face eased, but he continued, ”From the perspective of making friends, I also would like to have more friends like you, but if it involves my sister...”
Xiao Bing laughed, ”But the more important reason is your sister. I can't just watch my girlfriend's father be sick and do nothing. That's not being responsible as a boyfriend. So, even if you don't come to me, I'm going to help. I've already asked Mr. Zhang for dinner tonight. I was going to talk about this during dinner.”
Ye Tianming said, ”Thank you for your help. Whether or not Mr. Zhang helps, I will thank you on behalf of my family. It's just my sister...”
Yezi suddenly interrupted with a strong voice, ”He is my boyfriend, brother. Whether you agree or not, Brother Bing is my boyfriend.”
Xiao Bing didn't stop Yezi from saying it. He didn't even have the slightest worry because Yezi was against her family. He knew that Yezi liked freedom. Since she didn't want to be a bird in a cage, everything would start from now on.
Ye Tianming frowned and said, ”Little sister, how much do you know about him? Where was he born? What's his family background? Who are his parents? Was he really a soldier before? What did he do before he came to Jiang City? Do you think you know all about him? Has he been forthright to you?”
Yezi said, ”Of course I do. Even if I don't, I will be Brother Bing's girlfriend. I don't care about the past. I care about the present and the future.”
”Little sister, you are still too young...”
”I'm too young to understand... is it?” Yezi sounded emotional, ”Elder brother, I know you and my sister love me, but I can depend on you for other things, not this one. I am an adult. I have my own thoughts. I don't need you to plan my future for me.”
The persistence and stubbornness in Yezi's eyes seemed to tell Ye Tianming that no one could stop what she wanted to do, and no one could force her to do the things that she didn't want to do.
Ye Tianming hesitated and finally kept his mouth closed. Since he was young, he loved Yezi very much. He knew his sister better than anyone else. She was easier to get along with than anyone if her principles were not violated. But she would never compromise if the sensitive part of her heart was violated.
Just as with when their father married their young stepmother, Ye Tianming only expressed his dissatisfaction in private, while Yezi fell out with their strong and uncompromising father because of it. Up to now, she seldom talked to their father, which showed how stubborn she was.
Ye Tianming sighed and looked at Xiao Bing. Xiao Bing suddenly laughed, ”Master Ye, this is about your sister and me. I won't listen to any of your opinions. Only Yezi and I can decide whether we want to continue this relationship. No matter if you respond with emotion or coercion, it will have no effect on me. Yezi's feelings are the only things I'll consider. None of you can have any effect on me.”
Ye Tianming finally began to understand how difficult it was to get along with Xiao Bing. Earlier, Xiao Bing promised him so easily, and made him forget that even his elder sister got the short end of the stick when negotiating with him. Ye Tianming sighed and gave up the idea of stopping them. But he still didn't forget to remind him, ”Maybe you are right, but Brother Bing, I thank you for helping me save my father. But if you have other purposes for dating my sister and end up hurting her, you will be my enemy and I, Ye Tianming, will definitely not spare you.”
Xiao Bing laughed, ”I'll keep that in my mind.”
When Yezi saw that her brother stopped refusing, she smiled and said, ”There, there, brother, stop being paranoid. Is your sister one of those ignorant girls? Brother Bing, don't take him so seriously. He is so paranoid.”
Ye Tianming sat back down again and said with a wry smile, ”All girls favor the outsider. This is just the beginning of being together and you are already starting to help him.”
Yezi laughed, ”I'm helping him because he's right. I won't talk about this anymore. I still have to go to school after lunch.”
Ye Tianming asked for another bowl of rice, then calmly said to Xiao Bing, ”Brother Bing, have you made an appointment to see Mr. Zhang tonight? Do you need me to show up?”
Xiao Bing smiled and said, ”Mr. Zhang is rather strange. I think you'd better not. Let me talk to him myself. He should agree for my sake.”
”Ok.” Ye Tianming said with a wry smile, ”I find that I can't see through you. You're a mysterious man. Even Mr. Zhang, the legend in the medical field, would do you a favor. I really don't know what kind of person you are.”
Xiao Bing asked with a smile, ”If I say that Mr. Zhang and I became friends by coincidence, would you believe it?”
Ye Tianming shook his head, ”I would and I wouldn't. That's enough of that. I apologize and propose a toast to you for my impulsiveness just now.”
Xiao Bing laughed, ”As a brother, it was your nature, I can understand.”
The two men chatted while eating. It seemed that Ye Tianming still had some worries in his heart. However, he was a gentleman. On the one hand, Yezi was too persistent, and on the other hand, Xiao Bing might become his lifesaver. It was really not too good to intervene too much, so he could only pay more attention to this man rather than persuade Yezi.
