Chapter 119 Connections
Xiao Yifei looked at Zhao Ziguo and scratched his head, his eyes filled with confusion. It took him a while to recall who the person in front of him was. Finally, Xiao Yifei spoke, "You’re Doctor Zhao Ziguo, right? How did you get here? When did I become your ’big brother’? You’re quite a bit older than me, aren’t you?"
"Uh." Zhao Ziguo’s face suddenly turned red, and the situation instantly became awkward. He turned his head towards Xiao Yifei and said, "I once said that as long as you cured Jiang Mingquan’s illness, I would follow your orders to the letter, but you didn’t hear that. A man must keep his word. I said I would follow your orders, but calling you ’my life’ would be too mushy! So I had to start calling you ’big brother’ instead!"
Xiao Yifei clearly heard Qian Wu, who was standing behind Zhao Ziguo, trying hard to suppress his laughter.
"So that’s what it was!"
Xiao Yifei curled his lips, now understanding why Zhao Ziguo had started calling him ’big brother’, but wasn’t this a bit too hasty? He was much younger than Zhao Ziguo, and having Zhao call him ’big brother’—wasn’t that a bit inappropriate?
Xiao Yifei was uncomfortable with it, but just as he was about to say something, Qian Wu, standing behind him, interrupted.
Qian Wu could tell that Xiao Yifei was struggling with something. He smiled and said to Xiao Yifei, "Doctor Xiao, just take it easy. Old Zhao is just that kind of person—passionate and true to his feelings. If you’re not keen on it, Zhao might feel even worse. Since he’s started calling you that, it means he truly respects you. Just accept it!"
Upon hearing Qian Wu’s words, Xiao Yifei’s face showed an expression of being both amused and helpless—he really did not know that Zhao Ziguo was like that!
