The Little Sister's Bet
This taboo-breaking, ethically-defying, heart-pounding four-person trip, while causing Ye Nanfei some turmoil,
wasn't as serious as he'd anticipated. Some things, once they've happened, are simply done. Instead, it tested his feelings for Hong Jie even more.
He felt nothing had changed, but what puzzled him was why he still felt a sense of excitement.
Hong Jie found it quite exciting, but a bit chaotic, and couldn't adapt. The most excited was Zhu Zi, who kept pestering him to
do it more often. Hua Jie didn't mind; they'd done it as a trio before, but this time it was four. Ye Nanfei disagreed with doing it frequently,
as it would disrupt their peaceful life. When Hua Jie brought it up, Ye Nanfei's reason was simple: "We
still want to live a normal life. We'll meet at most once a month, depending on our mood."
The weather was getting colder day by day, and business was unusually busy due to the seasonal change. Renting a storefront was the right decision. The quality of the clothing had increased, and so had the prices. Actually, many items were the same as those sold at street stalls, but 　　displaying them
indoors immediately increased their value. 　　Gu Ling's family has shifted their business to small appliances and audio-visual products. They have a technological advantage in eyeglasses, a niche market in Ula, 　　but the profits are considerable. Although Ye Nanfei and Gu Ling don't have many opportunities to date, their relationship is very good. Ye Nanfei respects this virtuous wife and 　　loving mother, and Gu Ling is exceptionally good to him. That unforgettable feeling is something he'll likely never forget, and who knows 　　when he'll have the chance to experience it again. 　　He also acted as a middleman between Fourth Brother and Brother Dai, but he didn't want to get involved in their affairs. 　　He didn't like the dance hall business, but it was perfect for Fourth Brother and his group; they were born for that kind of environment—chaotic, 　　crazy, decadent, and intoxicating. Ye Nanfei's head would throb whenever he went to such places. They were also discussing opening 　　an arcade. 　　That day, Fourth Brother called Ye Nanfei to his house, and he assumed it was still about business. Upon entering the house, I saw Fourth Brother and his wife. 　　The child was preparing hot pot. "Hey, where are the rest of you?" 　　Fourth Brother replied, "It's just the few of us today. Everyone else should stay away. They're always hovering around us, it's making us dizzy." Ye Nanfei 　　had just sat down to prepare the dipping sauce. 　　Fourth Brother: "Hey Xiaofei, what's with that bet you made with your little sister? Today was the day to get the results, and she 　　came back with a long face. I thought she bombed it again, but what's the big deal? She's never done well before. I looked at 　　the report card, and she got over 80 in Chinese, over 90 in Math, and over 80 in Physics, Chemistry, and English too. 　　She was ranked ninth! I was shocked. No one in our family has ever done so well. I said, 'You did really well, so 　　why are you looking so sad? Don't you blame me for not giving you a reward? Tell me what you want, I'll buy it for you. 　　Finally, we have someone in our family who can study!' She said she lost a bet with you, and then she went into her room and wouldn't come out. What kind of 　　bet was that? She did so well and still lost?" 　　Ye Nanfei was also surprised, not expecting this girl to have such perseverance: "Little..." "Sister, you really took it seriously? 　　What were her grades like before?" 　　Fourth Brother: "What grades could she have? I'd be happy if she even passed. This is a good thing. Go and talk to her. 　　With all the effort my sister put in, and such a good result, what's wrong with her admitting defeat this once? If she lost, I'll 　　make it up to her." 　　He knocked on the door, and a voice came from inside: "Leave me alone, I'm not eating." Ye Nanfei: "Little sister, it's me, Ye Nanfei." 　　After a while, he heard the door lock open. He pushed the door open and saw her lying on the small kang (heated brick bed): "Did you come to see me make a fool of myself 　　?" 　　Ye Nanfei: "Of course not! I came to see how awesome you are. Hehe, don't you think you've improved so much in one semester 　　? I was never this cool when I was in school." 　　Little sister looked up, her eyes red from crying. She actually cried, which surprised Ye Nanfei. Little sister: 　　"You don't need to comfort me, I still lost." 　　Ye Nanfei took a handkerchief from the wall and handed it to her. "Hey, you're not going to cry just because you lost, are you? Is this the 　　little sister I know? I'm not trying to comfort you, but you've already exceeded my expectations. Given how hard you've worked and how 　　well you've achieved, there's no reason not to take on such an excellent apprentice." 　　Little sister: "Really? You're not lying to me?" 　　Ye Nanfei: "Of course." 　　Little sister's mood instantly brightened, and she became incredibly excited: "Then let's start tomorrow, okay?" 　　Ye Nanfei: "Sure, you're that eager to learn? Why would a girl like you want to learn this fighting and killing? Besides 　　, learning this kind of thing is very hard. Can you handle it?" 　　Little sister: "How about we make another bet?" 　　Ye Nanfei: "Forget it, you have a tendency towards self-harm, I can't control that." 　　Little sister hit him: "What are you saying? Who has a tendency towards self-harm?" 　　From then on, except for special circumstances, Little Sister always got up earlier than Ye Nanfei and went to his house to wake him up so they could 　　exercise together. Before this, Ye Nanfei had a habit of morning exercise, but there were many special days, such as the 　　night before when he was drunk with his buddies, or the night before when he had a wild time with Sister Hong, maybe even a foursome, and he would inevitably be reluctant to 　　get out of bed the next day. 　　But after this, as long as it wasn't a knife attack, she would exercise without fail, rain or shine. Ye Nanfei was puzzled; what made 　　this girl so ruthless to herself? Her persistence, day after day, year after year, was frightening. Inspired by this girl's spirit 　　, Ye Nanfei taught her very diligently. Regardless of her talent, just based on her ruthlessness towards herself, she 　　couldn't be too bad. 　　However, Ye Nanfei felt that her attitude towards him hadn't changed at all since he started teaching her kung fu. She 　　was still as disrespectful, casual, and sometimes even rude as ever. Ye Nanfei didn't take it too seriously; she 　　was just a child, spoiled by everyone. 　　Once, his little sister came directly to his shop to do her homework after school. Ye Nanfei was pleased; who doesn't like a studious and motivated 　　child? So, she sighed, "Sigh, I hope my kids will be as easy to take care of as you." The younger sister looked up 　　and glared at her. 　　Just then, Sister Hong was wiping the counter: "Xiao Fei, what are you loitering around for? Hurry up and wipe those leather shoes 　　clean. They get dusty, and you're always being bossed around, never doing anything without being told what to do." Although they weren't exactly an old married couple, they had 　　been together for quite some time. In real life, there wasn't constant sweet talk; more often it 　　was just nagging and gossip. 　　Ye Nanfei didn't seem bothered by this and grabbed the rag to get to work, but the younger sister, for some reason, seemed very angry.

She slammed her book on the table with a "bang," threw down her pen, and glared at Ye Nanfei, making him feel uneasy.
The younger sister said, "Can't you be a little more responsible? All you do is hang around that shabby shop all day, around... you know...
just seeing you makes me angry." She packed her bag, turned, and stormed off.
Ye Nanfei stood there, bewildered, looking at the door she'd just left through, then at Sister Hong. "
Why is that brat's temper getting worse and worse? Who upset her this time?"
Sister Hong was equally furious. "Look at you! You've raised a disciple who only knows how to throw tantrums at you and give
me attitude. It's infuriating! If it weren't for Lao Si's sake, I would have given that brat a good beating long ago."
Sister Hong's domineering and fierce side was on full display.
The little disturbance from the younger sister was nothing; let her be angry, ignore her, she'd still be there the next day
. But another matter was less calming. One day, Rong Kuan came to see him for drinks. Needless to say,
something was up.
At the table: "Brother Kuan, just say it. Don't beat around the bush, it's tiring for everyone." Rong Kuan: "
Look, now that you put it that way, I feel embarrassed to come to you. It's like I'm heartless, only interested in things, haha."
Ye Nanfei: "Brother Kuan, let's not be so formal. It must be about Sister Sirou, right? Tell me, how
far have things progressed between you two? What can I help you with?"
Rong Kuan: "Oh, Xiao Fei, you've gotten quite capable in just a few days. You can even do some calculations now?"
Ye Nanfei: "Come on, what's with all the calculations? Is there anything else I can help with?" The only thing the two of them can talk about
is Si Rou's situation. How's it going? What hurdle are you having trouble over again?"
Rong Kuan: "Sigh, don't even mention it. There's been no progress at all. Do you think she's indifferent? You'd think she has no feelings for me
, but she hasn't been hostile either. You'd think she's interested in me, but she's completely unresponsive,
lukewarm and indifferent. It's so frustrating. I'd rather she just give me a straight answer."
Ye Nanfei: "You've never asked her out even once? What's she usually busy with?"
Rong Kuan: "We've gone out once, nothing like when I went to the movies with a female classmate back in school." "So formal,
huh? What does she do all day? A workaholic, she works like crazy, otherwise our boss wouldn't be so proud of her."
Ye Nanfei: "So how do you want me to help you?"
Rong Kuan: "Her birthday is in a couple of days, let's celebrate it together, and use that as an excuse to invite her out for
a day."
Ye Nanfei: "Hey, brother, what do you mean by that? You two are dating, and you're asking me to come along?
What kind of third wheel would I be? Besides, aren't you afraid of being affected? With me there, do you even have a chance to take things further?"
Rong Kuan: "I have no other choice." "Well, when I'm with her, I don't know what to talk about. She's not
interested in anything except work, or you. She's only interested in you when she's in a good mood. So I thought if you came, it might open
up a new atmosphere and make things a bit more harmonious. If it keeps getting this cold, I'm losing all confidence."
Ye Nanfei said, his teeth aching. "Look at you, so pathetic. Are you sure I can handle being a third wheel?"
Rong Kuan replied, "I don't know if I can handle it, but if you don't go, I definitely can't. Will you help me or not?"
And so, Ye Nanfei reluctantly participated in a strange date. In the dead of winter, riding a bicycle was
inconvenient, so they had to squeeze onto a bus. It was a Sunday morning, and they had agreed to go to Jiangnan Park first.
He saw them from a distance. Both of them were very eye-catching in terms of height and appearance. They were both
former police officers, exuding a heroic air, except one had a fair complexion and the other a dark complexion. Ning Sirou was wearing a beige woolen coat
, with short hair that reached her neck, a straight nose, and bright white teeth. Rong Kuan, wearing a military green woolen overcoat, stood tall and straight;
the two looked perfectly matched. Ning Sirou spotted Ye Nanfei from afar and, seemingly deliberately, took Rong Kuan's arm.
Ye Nanfei thought to himself, "Why do you say there's no progress?" Rong Kuan winked at him, secretly pleased; bringing this kid
along was the right decision.
Ning Sirou said, "Nanfei, I'm sorry to trouble you today, walking around with us in this cold weather." Ye Nanfei replied,
"Hehe, Sister Sirou, it's only right for your birthday. Today you're the host, and we're your
servants, at your beck and call. Whatever makes you happy."
Ning Sirou said, "You said it yourself, no backing out."
The park was inevitably a bit desolate in winter, but there was still a greenhouse with animals to see and ice sculptures. Ning
Sirou had a great time, and Rong Kuan was very pleased that Ning Sirou was exceptionally enthusiastic towards him today. In the greenhouse, Ning
Sirou said she wanted to eat candied hawthorns, and Rong Kuan hurriedly went to buy some. They were resting on chairs under a large foliage plant
.
Ning Sirou: "Did he ask you to come out together?"
Ye Nanfei: "Sirou, don't you think Kuan is a good guy?"
Ning Sirou: "You really want me to find a boyfriend?" She glared at him as she spoke.
Ye Nanfei: "I just want what's best for you. I think you two are a perfect match, both in terms of personal qualities and social standing
."
Ning Sirou: "Tch, just like my parents. He's alright, but he's too dull.
I don't feel anything with him." Ye
Nanfei: "Sis, you educated women are thinking about such unrealistic things. Men are too slick. Are you sure you
can trust him? Let me tell you, the more someone is not good at expressing themselves, the more insightful they are."
Ning Sirou: "How much has he given you that you're so protective of him?"
Ye Nanfei: "No, I'm just afraid you'll miss out on a rare good man. I'd feel more at ease if you were with him
."
Ning Sirou: "How can you be so sure ?" "Is it settled?"
Ye Nanfei: "We get along well, our personalities don't clash, so it can't be too bad. He
's handsome, and he genuinely likes you."
Ning Sirou: "You've already investigated him? You're more enthusiastic than I am! Isn't that annoying? But since he dared to
bring you here, I'd say he's barely passed the test. From now on, don't get involved in his affairs."
Ye Nanfei: "No way! If he dares to wrong you, I'll never forgive him."
Ning Sirou pouted: "Why are you worrying about this? Mind your own business. When are you and Sister Hong getting married?"
Ye Nanfei: "I'm undocumented, how can I get married?"
The next activity was dinner at a restaurant. In a small private room, the two men were very attentive, and Rong Kuan bought a large egg.
Cake. After dinner, they went to see a movie. One person on her left carried snacks, and the other on her right carried drinks. It got dark, and they
were tired from walking, so the two of them took turns carrying her. Finally, they got the birthday girl home.
Rong Kuan: "Thank you, Xiao Fei. I've never seen her so happy. It proves I made the right choice inviting you." Ye
Nanfei: "Cherish Sister Sirou, you've struck gold." Rong Kuan:
"You mean, Sirou is interested?"
Ye Nanfei: "Let's say you've passed the first test for now."
Rong Kuan: "Oh... haha."
Rong Kuan: "Hey? By the way, you're not still thinking about Sirou, are you?"
Ye Nanfei: "What are you talking about? Our status and position are so different. Is it possible? Besides, I still have
Sister Hong. If having three wives and four concubines were allowed, then I would be interested, very interested. Haha."
Rong Kuan: "Hehe, then I'm relieved."
Ye Nanfei: "I'm not saying anything, but Officer Rong, where's your confidence?"
