Chapter 148 The former heroine who died early in the 7th century
"Please give me two bowls of noodle soup. I'll bring them back when you're done eating."
Tang Ping walked in the market for a long time before he stopped in front of a noodle shop. Before entering the store, he greeted loudly.
"Okay! The battalion commander is here. Come and sit down. I'll get you down right away. It will be ready in a moment."
The person who answered was a young man in his early twenties. Like all the islanders, his skin was tanned. The only special thing about him was that the sleeve of his left forearm was empty.
The sleeves swung left and right as he turned his body.
"We're not in the military, there's no point in calling me battalion commander. Just call me brother."
Tang Ping took out two pairs of chopsticks from the chopstick basket on the table with ease, and then rinsed the chopsticks with water from the teapot.
"I'm used to calling you that, right? Just call me Brother Tang, Brother Tang, okay?"
"By the way, Yaya is also at home today. I asked her to come out and talk to you. I'll give you an egg so you can have a snack."
Ye Bei didn't wait for Tang Ping to reply, and called out to his sister loudly.
"Yaya! Your brother Tang Ping is here, why don't you come out quickly!"
After Tang Ping returned home, he spent most of his time with his young wife and actually forgot that there was someone like Ye Yaya on the island.
Now seeing that his former comrade-in-arms still wanted to match him up with his sister, he felt a headache.
"Ye Bei, stop yelling. I've cooked the noodles. I'll just take them and go. I don't need anyone to talk to me. And I'm bringing..."
"Brother Tang Ping! You are here, are you here to see Yaya? You have been out on a mission for too long this time, I haven't seen you for a long time."
The girl had honey-colored skin, long curly hair, and a look of surprise on her face. She jumped out from behind the curtain leading to the backyard.
Tang Ping stood up quickly and consciously, and took several steps back to create some distance between himself and Ye Yaya.
"Ye Yaya, you are so old now. Pay attention to your behavior and keep your distance from gay men."
"Besides, you throw yourself at a married gay man like this. What kind of person is that? It will have a bad influence on you. If your sister-in-law finds out, she will misunderstand me."
"My wife is still pregnant. If I let my imagination run wild, it would be bad if it hurts myself and the baby."
After Tang Ping said this, the small noodle shop fell into a brief silence.
Ye Bei knew that Tang Ping saved someone and got married when he went home to visit his relatives last time, but he also knew that Tang Ping received an urgent recall to the army on the day of the wedding.
So he always thought that Tang Ping's marriage was just a formality and it didn't matter. They hadn't obtained a marriage certificate anyway, so it was a good decision for him to match his sister with him.
The most important thing is that when Tang Ping first came to the island to serve as a soldier, he once saved his sister who fell into the sea. Although his sister was only ten years old at the time, the premise was that he saved her life.
His sister really liked Tang Ping, so as a brother, he tried his best to bring the two of them together. He even got injured and retired from the army. Instead of taking his sister back to his hometown, he settled down on an island and opened a noodle restaurant, so that his sister could have more opportunities to meet her lover.
But now, Tang Ping not only has a real wife, but also a child. What he did today was a little bit unkind.
There was a hint of guilt on his face, but when he turned his gaze to his sister's face, he secretly thought that something was wrong.
"What? Brother Tang Ping, how could you marry someone else? We have had physical contact, and I will be an adult in a few months. Why don't you wait for me? How could you let me down!"
Ye Yaya was very emotional. She had been dependent on her brother since she was a child. When she was only ten years old, she came to visit relatives with her aunt in the village whose son was serving as a soldier on the island.
It was her first time on a boat and she was so excited that she didn’t think sitting on the boat for half a day was tiring at all.
As the ship was getting closer and closer to the island, a strong wind suddenly blew up on the sea. Within a few minutes, the waves became stronger and stronger. She was standing next to the guardrail beside the ship. Suddenly, a big wave came and she fell into the sea because she lost her balance.
As a person who grew up on land and a girl, she couldn't swim at all. Plus, she was young, so she got tired after struggling in the waves for a while and was swallowed by the waves.
Boundless despair and a feeling of suffocation overwhelmed her. Just when she thought she was going to die in pain, Tang Ping appeared like a god and took her out of that terrifying sea.
From that time on, Tang Ping left a mark in her little heart. After she learned that her brother and Tang Ping were comrades-in-arms, she begged her brother to stay on the island to go to school.
As she got older, her feelings for Tang Ping slowly deteriorated. She originally thought she had a chance. After all, Tang Ping was gentle with her and ignored all the other girls who came to him. How did he have another wife? What should she do?
"Ye Yaya, you are Ye Bei's sister, which means you are my sister. How could I possibly marry you? As for physical intimacy, that is nonsense. When I rescued you, you were only 10 years old. After I sent you to shore, I handed you directly to the nurse waiting on the shore."
"I hope you won't say these misleading words again. It's impossible for us to be together. If you continue to pester me, I may not even be able to be brothers with your brother!"
