C17 Encountering Your Savior

"Big brother, why are you here as well?" I patted the bearded man's shoulder and greeted him warmly. My face was full of astonishment as I felt that we were destined to meet wherever we went.

However, the bearded man completely ignored me and directly bypassed me to leave. After being stunned for a minute or two, I jogged after him and stopped him. "Big brother, do you still remember me?" I asked, pointing to my nose, like a fool.

The bearded man stopped talking. He frowned at me and said impatiently, "Go away. I don't have time to talk to you. I still need to take care of the patient. I don't have time to chat with you." He walked around me and strode forward.

"Brother, do you really not remember me? Did you forget that you saved a man yesterday? You were so good yesterday. You are the best person I have ever seen. You knocked him down with a shoulder throw. "Big brother, why are you here? Is your friend sick, or are you not feeling well? My mom is also hospitalized in this hospital, I didn't find time to come over to see her, I didn't expect to meet you here, we were really lucky." It was as though I met an idol that I worshipped. I looked at him with gazes that were practically filled with worship as I followed him as I chattered on and on.

It took me a moment to remember who I was. Then we stopped outside one of the wards, and he asked me to wait for him, and then he pushed open the door with the kettle and I stood in the doorway.

Lying on the bed was a young girl who appeared to be no more than 20 years old. She looked extremely weak, and her thin face was really painful to look at. Needles were still stuck on the back of her hands, and some unknown liquid was slowly flowing into her blood.

The bearded man placed the kettle on the table and said a few more things to the girl, who nodded obediently. She looked calm and tranquil, causing one's heart to ache.

He poured a glass of water, carefully blew on it to cool it down, then carefully fed the medicine to the girl. Only then did he pat the girl's hand without a needle and let her sleep for a while. The girl obediently closed her eyes.

After seeing that the girl had fallen asleep, he quietly walked out and lightly closed the door. These movements were all very careful, and did not seem out of place when compared to his rough and bold appearance.

The bearded man glanced at me and motioned for me to follow him. We arrived at the hospital.

He took a pack of cigarettes out of his bag and shook one out and handed it to me. I waved my hand and told him I didn't know how to smoke, and he didn't say anything. He took out a cigarette and lit it and put it in his mouth.

The atmosphere was a little awkward. I started to find a topic to talk about. "Who was that girl just now? She's quite pretty." I smiled, wondering if I should tease him about his luck with women.

The bearded man took another deep drag on his cigarette, and after a long while, he exhaled a long breath. "That's my sister." Then he smiled. "Let's not talk about this. It's you instead. Why do you feel like there's injuries on your face all of a sudden?" he asked, pointing at my face.

"Hey, isn't it that person from yesterday? Isn't he just pestering a girl …?" I gave him a brief account of what had happened last night, smiling a little helplessly at my own helplessness.

After a while, I remembered what I saw yesterday. I suddenly had a bold idea: "Big brother, you can call me Kung Fu. That way, I won't be in such a sorry state in the future." I blinked at the bearded man, my face full of hope.

"No, I don't have the time to teach you. Besides, there's no use in learning all these." The bearded man rejected my request without thinking. No matter how much I begged, his attitude was exceptionally resolute. In the end, I could only clench my teeth and stomp my foot, bend my knees, and kneel before him.

It was obvious that the bearded man did not expect me to kneel down to him in front of a crowded entrance. After being fooled, he was at a loss of what to do. It was obvious that he had never been chased around like this before.

He began to move, and I began to see hope, and to tell him my sad story in a touching way.

"Big Bro, I'm just a student who just graduated from university not long ago. My mom is hospitalized, so I can't take out the money …" She wants me to marry her, to be their son-in-law, to be her husband in name. Her family doesn't regard me as a human being anymore. Especially her stepmother, who has been making things difficult for me in every possible way. She really wants me to divorce her and leave their family … " At the end, I choked up. The bearded man looked at me sympathetically, and only after a while did he nod his head.

"Alright, I'll teach you, but during this period of time, I have to take care of my sister every day, so I don't have much time left. If you really want to learn, come outside to the garden and find me every morning. I'll teach you some simple things to protect yourself from being beaten up."

I got up from the ground. Ignoring the peculiar gazes of the people beside me, I grabbed onto the fully bearded man's hand in excitement. I was speechless for a moment.

Suddenly I felt as if God had turned on the lights above my head, and my life was full of hope and energy again, and then I could be like a man, and protect the people I wanted to protect, and not have to be held down any more.

Perhaps my excited reaction was out of the bearded man's expectations, but he seemed a little helpless. Looking at me who was giggling foolishly, he shook his head, as if silently explaining how he could possibly know someone like me.

The next morning, I got up early and took out a black sportswear Liang Siyu bought for me to go shopping. After putting it on, I felt that my whole person was a bit different and even more handsome.

When I rushed to the entrance of the garden beside the hospital, the bearded man was already there waiting for me. He was still holding a steamed bun with steam rising from it.

I nodded my head and quickly stuffed the steamed bun into my mouth. Then, I looked at the fully bearded man who was displaying his aura and started to imitate him.

The bearded man had taught me for more than ten minutes, but when he saw how enthusiastic I was, he didn't stop. By the time he stopped, it was already noon.
