Chapter 90 He Is A Legend
It was hard to imagine that a strong and virile man in a camouflage uniform and military boots squatted beside a girl's legs and bawled hysterically and despairingly.
Xiaobai who was fair-skinned roared, "Who did it? Which bastard did it? Damn it, I'm going to kill him and his whole family!" He was extremely heartbroken, and looked hideous and murderous.
"It has passed. We are doing well now, aren't we?" Said Qingwu calmly as she lightly patted Xiaobai's head.
She is four years younger than Liuhe who is only a few months older than Xiaobai. So she also treated the latter as her brother.
"But your legs..." Xiaobai burst into tears. His lips and teeth trembled. He stretched out his trembling palms, trying to touch Qingwu's numb legs, but he didn't dare, because his heart would be ached.
Qingwu said, "Legs are used for walking, and so is wheelchairs. Is there any difference? I was too tired of standing for too long before, but now I can sit all the time. It's good." She smiled innocently. Seeing her smiling face, Xiaobai was worried about her more. He slapped himself several times and then said, "It was all my fault. I'm sorry I was so useless and could not help you in your darkest hours. I was a waste."
Qingwu comforted him, "Come on. Don't say that. Nothing will change even if your Su family took actions before."
Liuhe hided the coldness in his eyes, and said, "Come on! You're a big man. Stop whimpering and wailing. I'll make the one who owed me pay a heavy price."
He continued, "Don't worry. No one in this world can live safely after bullying Qingwu. I will change his families' fates to compensate for the loss of my sister's legs!"
"Count me in!" Said Xiaobai who wiped away his tears and then looked at Liuhe.
Liuhe said calmly, "It depends on how you are doing at that time, and whether you can become the third generation who plays an important role in the your Su family. If you have no status, you are not even qualified to deal with this matter. What's more, your families won't hope you take risks with the future of the entire Su family."
"Just wait and see. I will definitely go to the Jing City!" Said Xiaobai firmly.
Liuhe smiled and didn't speak. Xiaobai pushed Qingwu to the dinner table, and others also went to have a meal.
Ruohan followed behind Liuhe without saying anything, not daring to take a heavy breath. The shocking image just now was still circling in her mind. She thought to herself, "What kind of affection do Xiaobai and Qingwu have? He is a soldier who even shoots someone without batting an eye, but this time he wails and whines, and is gut-wrenching for her."
Huang Baiwan prepared much pot-stewed meat, and a plate of venison.
"Ruohan, give us the liquor!" Shouted Liuhe without turning his head.
Ruohan's pretty face looked anxious. She was angry in heart, but still obediently put the two bottles of fine Wuliangye in her hands on the table, and she also sat beside Liuhe without standing on ceremony.
Pointing at Baiwan, Liuhe said to Xiaobai, "You can call him Mr. Huang, and he is from a mountain. I treat him as a buddy."
Hearing this, Xiaobai looked Baiwan up and down curiously a few times, but his eyes were full of astonishment. In his eyes, it was a great honor to be taken as a buddy of Liuhe. Maybe Baiwan could not understand it at this moment, but he would know what an honor it was in the future.
"Mr.Huang, my name is Su Xiaobai. You can just call me Xiaobai if you don't mind." Said Xiaobai with a smile. He didn't put on airs in front of Baiwan. Like Liuhe, he also took Baiwan as a buddy.
"You flatter me! Mr. Su, if you don't mind, you can call me Baiwan. Please don't call me Mr. Huang. It's really flattered!"
Baiwan felt extremely flattered. He quickly stood up, and wiped his palms on clothes before reaching out to shake Xiaobai's hand, looking funny, as if he met a big shot.
He added, "As for this girl next to me, I don't need to do any more introductions. She is just an irrelevant girl, and except for causing trouble, she has nothing special." He took a piece of duck and threw it into his mouth.
As Ruohan heard that, her pretty face turned red with anger. Staring at Liuhe angrily, she stepped hard on Liuhe's feet under the table with her high heels.
"Hiss~~~" Liuhe almost shouted out in pain. He looked at Ruohan who acted as if nothing had happened, and felt funny and annoying at the same time. He said angrily, "You are really such a cruel woman!"
Ruohan raised her chin and said, "Who let you be loose-lipped?"
After that, Ruohan politely extended her white palm to Xiaobai and said, "Nice to meet you, Major. I am Liuhe's boss, Qin Ruohan."
Xiaobai said, "It's great to know you, Miss. Qin." They took back their hands as soon as their palms touched each other. Xiaobai blinked at Liuhe, "Mr. Chen, she is not bad, and can get enough scores."
Ruohan asked directly, "Over ninety points?"
Xiaobai was stunned, and immediately laughed, "Mr. Chen, you even told her that? It seems your relationship is good."
Liuhe pouted and said, "She is very ordinary and has nothing special."
Ruohan was unhappy as hearing that. She didn't want Liuhe to belittle her in front of outsiders, so she said angrily, "Come on. I'm not ordinary at all. I'm pretty and have big chests and long legs."
Liuhe's eyes wandered on Ruohan's chests, and he almost wanted to measure the size of her thighs. He said, "I haven't touched your chests, so I don't know."
Ruohan said, "You bastard. Are your eyes for decoration?" She was about to cry with anger, and really had an urge to suffocate Liuhe by pressing his head to her chests, so that he could touch her plump chests before going to die.
The dull atmosphere just now completely dissipated by teasing Ruohan.
After they toasted each other for a while, Xiaobai put down the drinking cup and complained with extreme dissatisfaction, "Mr. Chen, Ruohan, why not let me know that you come to Hang City? You have stayed there for more than a month after all. If this matter didn't happened today, you wouldn't even call me, would you?"
Liuhe replied with a smile, "It's no need. After all, you can get nothing good from it. The incident happened today is beyond my expectations. At present, I don't have many people at my disposal for the time being, and I also cannot arrange some of them easily. After careful consideration, I think only you can be arranged at will."
Xiaobai felt both funny and annoying, "I'm so worthless?"
Liuhe shrugged, and said, "If you want to be valuable, you have to make some achievements. You were only promoted to major and head of the regiment at the age of twenty-four. What a shame!"
In other people's eyes, Xiaobai has gotten promotions many times in a short time, but he had no sense of superiority at this moment. After hearing what Liuhe said, he shrank his neck sulkily, and said, "Mr. Chen, you can't compare me to you. Not everyone is as excellent as you, or it's really ridiculous!"
Liuhe replied in anger, "Come on, even if you don't compare to me, you are also not much more excellent than others? Nowadays, many Deputy Division Chiefs are only twenty four years old. Besides, the Su family, your huge background resource, can support you, so how could you have a sense of superiority?"
Xiaobai was a young and outstanding Major in Military Region in the south of the Jing City, but at this moment, he was sitting there sullenly, not daring to say anything.
Ruohan and Baiwan were dumbfounded as hearing what they said.
Liuhe was really talking tall. How embarrassed he was to say that a twenty-four-year-old Major was useless and had no sense of superiority? He was really grandiloquent!
He was even more magniloquent than a braggart!
Ruohan said, "Are you outstanding? But I really don't think so." She felt a little injustice for Xiaobai, and she would not to see Liuhe acting in a high and mighty way, which would make her feel inferior and nervous. She always felt there were a significant difference between them and she was much more inferior than her, so she was really scared of the feeling.
Liuhe ignored Ruohan, and also didn't explain anything. Instead, he just took a sip of wine and remained silent.
However, Xiaobai said, "Mr. Chen is not bragging. If you know the meaning of the word "legend", you will know how outstanding he is.
Hearing this, Ruohan shuddered violently, and carried complicate emotions in her heart as if ripples were surging there. She didn't know how much weight Xiaobai's words carry. Looking at Liuhe, who pretended as if nothing happened, she said sincerely, "He doesn't look as good as you said."
Xiaobai said with a wry smile, "I can understand you. Mr. Chen has never cared about what others think. His greatest pleasure and talent is to play fool even if he is an excellent man. "
"It doesn't matter what kind of person he is in other people's eyes, but how many people dare to hurt him?" Said Xiaobai, shrugging.
Ruohan couldn't help but ask,"Liuhe, are you really so excellent? Since that, why do you descend into a rag man?"
Liuhe rolled his eyes and said nonsense, "Since I am a legend, of course I have to be different."
"Come on! A ragged legend." Said Ruohan. Even though she was convinced, she had to pretend she believed nothing. She might be deceiving herself, but it could make her feel that Liuhe was still by her side.
After a toast to Baiwan, Liuhe took a sip, and said to Xiaobai, "Five years ago, your father asked you to join the army but you would not like to do that at all. I kicked you into the army. Do you me?"
"No. It turns out that both you and my father are right. If I didn't join the army, I am at most a dandy in the first-class level. Others will be afraid of me, but it's only because of my family background. No one will respect me." Said Xiaobai softly.
Liuhe said with a smile, "You are right. No one is reliable all the time. You can only rely on yourself. It's easy to make others fear you, as long as you are ruthless, but it's a long way to make others fear and respect you at the same time."
Qingwu also said softly, "When others frighten you, you should first let them fear you, and when others are afraid of you, what you have to do is to make them respect you."
It was just a common sentence, but full of philosophy. Ruohan was thinking deeply about its meaning, and Baiwan seemingly regarded it as a treasure and read it again and again in heart, trying to imprint it in her mind.
