Chapter 22: Teacher Xu Xiaoqing (6)

After Ye Lingtian entered the house, he checked around the house. After feeling that there was no problem, he entered the small bedroom where he lived and closed the door. He was alone in the same house with a girl. Not only did Li Yuxin feel embarrassed and uncomfortable, but Ye Lingtian also felt very uncomfortable.

"Go upstairs" Li Yuxin called out to Xu Xiaoqing lying on the sofa.

"Why are you going upstairs so early? Watch TV for a while?" Xu Xiaoqing ignored Li Yuxin and turned on the TV and started watching TV.

"It's up to you, I'll go up and take a shower first." Li Yuxin said and went upstairs.

Xu Xiaoqing sat on the sofa watching TV, but her attention turned to the door that Ye Lingtian was closed. After thinking about it, Xu Xiaoqing walked to Ye Lingtian's door and knocked on the door, and then said, "Ye Lingtian, can I come in?"

"Come in." Ye Lingtian said lightly when he heard Xu Xiaoqing's voice.

Xu Xiaoqing pushed open the door and went in. Ye Lingtian was sitting on the open-air balcony in the bedroom, smoking a cigarette.

"What are you thinking about?" Xu Xiaoqing walked to Ye Lingtian and asked.

"No, sit down." Seeing that there were no other chairs in the bedroom, Ye Lingtian stood up, gave the chair to Xu Xiaoqing, and sat directly on the balcony railing.

"Are you worried about Ye Shuang's surgery?" Xu Xiaoqing asked. She was not polite and sat directly on the chair that Ye Lingtian gave out.

"Yes, the doctor arranged for her to take surgery next Monday. It's only a few days. This surgery is actually risky, and no one can guarantee whether the surgery will be successful," Ye Lingtian lit another cigarette and said lightly.

"Don't worry so much. Doctors must not believe what they say, but they cannot believe them all. Doctors like to tell the problem very seriously before undergoing surgery. Generally, what they tell you is the worst case. In fact, they are very sure of themselves. Besides, I believe that God will favor such a cute and clever little girl as Ye Shuang." Xu Xiaoqing comforted Ye Lingtian.

"Thank you, I hope that's the case," Ye Lingtian said with a smile.

"You... didn't tell Ye Shuang about you being a bodyguard for Yu Xin?" Xu Xiaoqing continued to ask Ye Lingtian.

"No," Ye Lingtian shook his head and said.

"Why didn't you tell her? Ye Shuang was actually very worried about you. She didn't know what you were doing. She was very worried about what bad things you did to raise money to treat her." Xu Xiaoqing asked Ye Lingtian curiously.

Ye Lingtian paused for a moment, took two puffs of cigarettes, and then said, "There is no need to tell her that it is my responsibility to raise money for her to treat her illness and go to school to provide her life. In addition, although bodyguards are also a profession, this is not a glorious profession in people's hearts. I don't want her to know that I am working as a bodyguard for others and feel that she owes me. She now needs to ensure that she has a good attitude and maintains her body to undergo surgery."

"What about you? Do you also feel that being a bodyguard for others is wronged?" Xu Xiaoqing asked immediately.

"You are a bit like a gossip reporter, and the questions you ask are very sharp." Ye Lingtian looked at Xu Xiaoqing and smiled, then said: "I am just a veteran. I graduated from junior high school, have no diploma or craftsmanship, and have never even had much contact with this world. I am very satisfied with having a job to support myself and treat Ye Shuang's illness."

"Did you apply for retirement by yourself or what you require in your army?" Xu Xiaoqing continued to ask.

Ye Lingtian looked at Xu Xiaoqing curiously and asked lightly: "Is there any difference?"

"There is no difference to the result, but it is a big difference for Ye Shuang." Xu Xiaoqing was also stunned. She also felt that she seemed to have asked too much and was too curious about Ye Lingtian. She thought about it and pulled Ye Shuang out and said.

"There is no difference for her. I am her brother. My parents are not here, so it is my responsibility to take care of her and raise her. This has nothing to do with whether I will be automatically discharged from the army or passively," Ye Lingtian said lightly.

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Xu Xiaoqing suddenly asked curiously. After seeing Ye Lingtian looking at her with a strange look, her face turned red and she said embarrassedly: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to ask about your situation. After all, this is very important to Ye Shuang."

"No" Ye Lingtian didn't ask too much or say much, and his answer was very straightforward.

"Today Ye Shuang told me a lot about herself, about your family, and about you. She felt that she owed you a lot. She said that if it weren't for her, you might not have retired from the army, and maybe you would have already married and had children. That's why I asked." Xu Xiaoqing found an excuse for her "recklessness" in front of her to explain.

Ye Lingtian was stunned when he heard this, turned to look outside, and said nothing.

"I thought about it. Your work here is of special nature and I definitely don't have time to accompany Ye Shuang. From now on, I will take time out every day to go to the hospital to accompany Ye Shuang. She is a girl, who stays alone in the hospital all day, and there is no one to talk. In addition, she is about to undergo such an important operation, so she must be very nervous during this period of time. She needs someone to comfort her more and cheer her up. What do you think?" Xu Xiaoqing said after looking at Ye Lingtian.

Ye Lingtian turned his face to look at Xu Xiaoqing, and didn't say anything at all. Then he got off the railing and said solemnly to Xu Xiaoqing: "Thank you, Teacher Xu."

He is not good at speaking and does not like to say too much. However, he knew that Xu Xiaoqing was right. Ye Shuang really needed someone to accompany him in this situation. Since he took other people's money and accepted this job, he had to do it well. It was impossible for him to go to the hospital to accompany Ye Shuang, so he had no way to refuse what Xu Xiaoqing said.

"This is what I should do. Ye Shuang is my student. I care about her and it is my responsibility as a teacher. Besides, I have always regarded her as my sister. You don't know that Ye Shuang has always been a class leader in the class and has helped me do a lot of things. By the way, can you not call me Teacher Xu? Although we have a relationship with teachers and parents, we should be friends now, right? Does it seem too disgusting to call me Teacher Xu?" Xu Xiaoqing said to Ye Lingtian with some dissatisfaction.

"What should I call me?" Ye Lingtian thought for a while and asked.
