Chapter 30 - Love Problems

By now,Zhang Ye and Zhang Fei were ready to bury the laughing Zhang Min,six feet under the ground.Both men were madly in love with their women but did not know how.They were truly too proud to ask anyone for help even their own brother.Seeing that Shi Ai was going to be a part of the family and seemed like a smart girl they had decided to ask her.After all they should receive some perks of gaining a sister.

Seeing these two big men,Shi Ai had a soft smile on her face.Her hand automatically went to her necklace which was around her neck,carrying her treasured ring.She had proposed to him too!She wondered if all military men were shy like this and needed to be taught how to romance.But her knight was romantic to her even when she was a kid.Shi Ai looked carefully at them but before she could say anything,Zhang Min butted in,"Who would fall for ugly looking men like you!And you have military haircuts to boot!As if anyone could be attracted to near bald men!"

At this both the brothers were outraged but the first person to retort was Shi Ai who said,"Senior brother,let me tell you,everything related to military is good!That includes their hairstyles.And both big brothers have sincere feelings so naturally and woman would fall for them!"

Shi Ai then turned to the two stumped people and said,Brother Ye and Brother Fei,both of you only need to be sincere and if there is anything that confuses you,you need to talk.Also romancing is not a problem,you must do something that you know she will like.For example,you could take her to an amusement park or buy her a unique gift of something she likes,etc..The point is it has to come from your heart.And if your lady love does not like what you do then she does not love you enough.But you must think on your own.Once you have an idea,call me and we can discuss it.But there is no way I can tell you exactly what to do.!"

Finally,with that sage advice,Shi Ai was done eating and put down her cutlery.The boys had also accomplished their mission and were now set to go home to set up everything for their new sister.

At home, Mrs Zhang had already left for a social gathering with her husband leaving firm instructions to Uncle Chu to feed the kids.After setting up the furniture in the room allocated to Shi Ai,the three brothers went back to refill their stomachs,leaving behind a tired Shi Ai.The moment the door closed behind the boys,Shi Ai fell on the mattress with a thump.The boys were noisier than the kids in the orphanage!And plus in the last few years,she had gotten quite used to peace and quiet so today's noisy day made her feel as if her ears were still ringing.

Finally closing her eyes,Shi Ai smiled and thought to herself that they were good people.She was lucky to have been accepted so easily by them.

Of course,she did not know that the two 'good' brothers were now locked in a room,bullying their younger brother for details. They may have accepted the sister and everything,but they needed details and the most accessible person with ears everywhere was the littlest brother.Of course,Zhang Min could not survive the bullying and outlined everything he knew,shocking Zhang Ye and Zhang Fei.

Zhang Ye who was the eldest nodded in agreement at his father's assessment,that the person who had helped him was dangerous.Because there was something Zhang Ye remembered from the time he was held in detention that he had not told anyone.He thought back to that horrible time.It had been his second day in detention where he had been sitting for so long and different people had been interrogating him.Suddely,the lights had gone off and the door had opened,letting in a shadowy figure.Zhang Ye had wondered if he was going to be killed by the people who wanted him to be the scapegoat but unexpectedly a dark voice had whispered,"Zhang Ye,I will ask you once,think carefully before you answer.If you lie to me you will be signing your death warrant.If you are in innocent,then those responsible will lose their lives.Did you commit treason?"

Zhang Ye had bee so scared that he had almost wanted to confess to being guilty,but slowly he had explained everything. The man had not said anything just heard him and then he was gone.After a few days,when nothing happened,Zhang Ye had thought that maybe that man had been a figment of his imagination but now he knew that man was indeed real!
