Chapter 2594 Junior 9
Long Ting smiled and said, "Someone has to shoulder the heavy responsibility."
The baby is much better off than him. He has so many younger brothers who can help share his worries, while he only has himself.
All my close relatives are gone.
"Long Ting, do you need to rest? Zhan Chi, take Long Ting to the guest room to rest."
Zhan Yuan asked, and without waiting for Long Ting's reply, he told his son to take Long Ting to rest.
He got up and said, "I'm going to get some sleep; I didn't sleep well last night."
"Knowing that Beibei was coming, my dad was so happy that he didn't sleep all night."
Long Ting laughed heartily.
Too normal.
In the Zhan family, Bei Bei was the apple of everyone's eye; elders and peers alike doted on her.
Even these people couldn't help but spoil her. In his eyes, Beibei and Yanyan were both his younger sisters.
Zhan Yuan said to his son, "That's right. I'm so happy that I can't sleep because Bei Bei is coming. If you were a girl, your mother and I wouldn't be like this."
“My mom doesn’t act like you. Whether I’m a man or a woman isn’t something I decide myself. You made me a man, and I’m a woman, and that’s it. Do you think I get to choose?”
"You can't even have a daughter yourself, and you're blaming me?"
Zhan Yuan: "..."
He especially liked daughters. Ouyang Ya was a little better off. Perhaps it was because the Ouyang family was more female than male. When a son was born, the Ouyang family was very happy, which was completely the opposite of the Zhan family.
Ouyang Ya also dotes on Bei Bei, because Bei Bei is the girl that the Zhan family has been hoping for for generations. She knows Bei Bei's status in the Zhan family, and Ouyang Ya is Bei Bei's aunt.
"Uncle Zhan, you all go and rest. I'm not tired for now. Zhan Chi, I'm going out for a walk."
Ye Longting got up to leave.
Zhan Chi also got up. "Brother Ting, do you want me to stay with you?"
"Okay."
Long Ting did not refuse his kindness.
The two of them went out of the house together.
Seeing four bodyguards in black standing at the door, Zhan Chi said to one of them, "Ninth Sister, you've arrived. Why don't you come inside? It's very hot outside."
Chu Jiu respectfully replied, "I am the master's bodyguard, and it is not appropriate for me to come inside."
The smile that had been on Long Ting's face disappeared. His gaze towards Chu Jiu was a mixture of anger, helplessness, and heartache.
It wasn't that he didn't want to bring Chu Jiu inside; it was that this stubborn person refused to go in.
Chu Jiu will not go inside unless all his bodyguards follow him in.
“Ninth Sister, in Brother Ting’s heart, you are no different from his sister. Don’t always lower your status.”
Chu Jiu's cold, beautiful face still wore the same expression. "Thank you, Fifth Young Master Zhan."
"Ninth Sister, are you thirsty? Would you like to come in and have a glass of water?"
Zhan Chi asked with concern.
"Thank you, I'm not thirsty."
Before Zhan Chi could say anything more, Long Ting had already passed Chu Jiu, walked down the steps, and headed towards the backyard.
Chu Jiu and his three bodyguards instinctively wanted to follow.
"Don't follow me!"
Without even turning his head, Long Ting retorted with a single sentence.
The three bodyguards stopped, but Chu Jiu continued walking, following Long Ting's steps.
Zhan Chi quickly followed and said to the three bodyguards, "You don't need to worry about Brother Ting's safety here. Sister Jiu is still with us. Find a shady place to sit down."
He then took out his phone and called the butler, asking him to bring some food and drinks to the bodyguards and instructing them to sit and rest in a nearby pavilion.
After instructing the steward, Zhan Chi quickly followed.
Upon hearing Long Ting say to Chu Jiu, "I told you not to follow me."
"I must protect my master's safety."
Chu Jiu spoke in a very formal and methodical manner.
"Chu Jiu, please stop calling me Master, okay?"
"Master."
Long Ting stopped, turned around and glared at her.
Chu Jiu also stopped, keeping a distance of two meters from Long Ting, his expression respectful, his dark eyes flashing with determination.
Even though the young master glared at her like a beehive, she didn't back down. The old man had said that she would follow the young master for the rest of her life, protect him, and prevent him from getting hurt.
She said that as long as she is here, the young master is here; even if she is gone, the young master will still live a good life.
In a critical moment, she would do everything in her power, even sacrificing her own life, to give the young master a chance to survive.
This was something she had promised the old man, and she had to keep it.
"Brother Ting, Ninth Sister."
Zhan Chi noticed something was wrong and quickly ran over, standing between the two to block Long Ting's view of Chu Jiu. He smiled and said to Long Ting, "Brother Ting, my Ninth Sister is also worried about your safety."
"She's used to putting you first and being by your side all the time. If you're out of her sight, she'll worry and get nervous. That's just how she is, you know that. Don't be angry with my ninth sister."
He then turned to Chu Jiu and said, "Ninth Sister, you care about Brother Ting, and Brother Ting will care about you and feel sorry for you too. You said that on such a hot day, you insisted on standing outside and wouldn't even drink a cup of water."
"I told you to take a rest, but you wouldn't listen. Brother Ting is worried about you being tired, hot, and thirsty."
Chu Jiu said, "I wouldn't dare to trouble you, young master."
"It's not a question of whether you dare or not. You and my brother Ting grew up together and have been together for eighteen years. You've long since developed a family-like relationship. It's only natural."
"I am the young master's bodyguard."
Zhan Chi: "...Ninth Sister, is this the same few sentences you keep repeating?"
No wonder it drove Brother Ting crazy.
"I am the young master's bodyguard!"
Zhan Chi: "..."
"Zhan Chi, ignore her. Let her do whatever she wants."
Long Ting turned and left, not forgetting to call Zhan Chi along.
"Let her follow me if she wants. Let her get so hot that she dies, let her get so tired that she doesn't want to rest, let her die of thirst if she doesn't want to drink water. Let's see who feels sorry for her. I don't feel sorry for her. I don't feel sorry for her at all."
Zhan Chi wanted to say a few words about Chu Jiu, but he didn't know what to say.
He quickly caught up with Long Ting. Long Ting had long strides, while he jogged, saying as he ran, "Brother Ting, Ninth Sister is just like that, don't be angry."
Long Ting said with a straight face, "I'm not angry. She doesn't have the ability to make me angry."
“But I see that every time you get angry, it’s because of Ninth Sister. Moreover, your good temper turns into a bad temper when you’re around Ninth Sister.”
Long Ting glared at Zhan Chi, "Zhan Chi, what's wrong with your eyes? You're mistaken, I didn't do it!"
"If you can't speak, then don't speak. Go back and read more books and learn how others organize their language."
Zhan Chi laughed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fault for not knowing how to speak, it's my eyesight that's bad, I saw it wrong."
Brother Ting is utterly helpless with having Sister Jiu as his stubborn and rigid bodyguard.
Not to mention, if it were him, sometimes he too would find it unbearable and would go crazy.
Did the late, legendary healer take a liking to Chu Jiu because of her persistence, and that's why he picked her up and raised her by Long Ting's side?
Because of Chu Jiu's persistence, he will be loyal to Long Ting for life.
The legendary healer was worried about his grand-disciple, but unfortunately, he couldn't live to be 150 years old and watch his grand-disciple take revenge.
All he could do was arrange a loyal companion for his grand-disciple, to accompany him in his business endeavors, to seek revenge for his enemies, and to avenge his blood feud.
