Northern Myanmar: Years of Dehumanization

"Brother Bai, long time no see..."

Fatty Wang looked at me, a smile appeared on his chubby face, then he opened his arms and wanted to hug me.

"If I hug you, I won't be destroyed, right?"

I looked at the security guards who came with Fatty Wang and looked at them aggressively, and couldn't help but complain like this.

But even though I complained like this, I still came up to Fatty Wang and hugged him.

"Brother Bai, do you think I'm a bad guy? We live in a society ruled by law. If I want to deal with you, I won't do it so openly, right?"

When Fatty Wang heard me teasing him like this, he couldn't help but respond in the same way.

"Xiaoxiao is well taken care of by you."

I looked at Xiaoxiao talking to Jiang Yan in a very confident manner, and said the same thing.

While saying this, he offered a cigarette to Fatty Wang.

"I usually don't even look at this cigarette with my eyes open, and it's because you gave it to me. Otherwise, you would be insulting me."

Fatty Wang looked at the cigarette I handed over, muttered something, and then took the cigarette.

I heard what Fatty Wang said and didn't refute it.

Although what he said sounded a bit pretentious, he just had such strength and there was nothing we could do about it.

"Of course, Xiaoxiao, but she is the love of my life."

After hearing what I said, Fatty Wang also nodded.

"Got it. By the way, have you found all the people I asked you to find?"

I didn't dwell on this topic for too long and looked at Fatty Wang to ask.

"Of course, according to your description, it's easy to find."

After Fatty Wang snapped his fingers, a bodyguard came to us with some papers.

"Here, take a look and see if these are them."

Fatty Wang handed these over.

Each piece of paper had a photo on it and their address below.

"Yes, these are the people."

I looked at the photo above and nodded.

I didn’t expect Fatty Wang to be so reliable.

"By the way, Xiaoxiao, you guys have been back for quite a while, why don't you have any children?"

I looked at Xiaoxiao and couldn't help but wonder.

"Hey, Brother Bai, you don't know that my dad doesn't accept Xiao Xiao, but I am the only legitimate heir, so I made a bet with my dad that Xiao Xiao and I haven't gotten married yet."

"As for that kind of thing, I'd rather wait until I get married before doing it."

When Fatty Wang heard me ask this, he sighed and told me the whole story.

"What if you can't fulfill the bet? You won't marry Xiaoxiao?"

I stared at Fatty Wang and asked.

"How is that possible? I've made up my mind. Even if I can't fulfill the bet, I still want to be with Xiaoxiao, even if it means giving up my family fortune."

When Fatty Wang said this, there was a firm look in his eyes.

"What a fucking man, I didn't expect you to be a pure love."

I punched Fatty Wang on the chest and said this.

Fatty Wang’s ideas are indeed a bit old-fashioned.

Like, wait until you get married to do something like that.

But doesn’t this also give girls some peace of mind?

No wonder, Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of love when she looked at Fatty Wang.

It is also possible that Xiaoxiao is still traumatized by that incident.

Fatty Wang's words could be considered a legitimate excuse that would stop Xiao Xiao from blaming herself.

Perhaps, when the day comes that Fatty Wang marries her, Xiaoxiao will completely open her heart to Fatty Wang.

Maybe this is the meaning of mutual respect?

Closer to home,

When I hit Fatty Wang on the chest, the bodyguards reacted immediately.

"Ahem, I don't mean anything else."

I coughed to hide my embarrassment.

How should I put it? If you want to have any physical contact with Fatty Wang in the future, you’d better be careful.

Otherwise, you will be regarded as a bad person, and the result will be predictable.

He will definitely be pressed to the ground and rubbed hard.

Back in the house, Jiang Yan prepared a lot of food.

To be honest, Jiang Yan has been studying cooking a lot in recent years.

After eating it, Fatty Wang couldn't help but praise it.

By the next day, I was ready to say goodbye.

"Brother Bai..."

When Ading saw that I was leaving, he also wanted to follow me.

"Stop, stay here. Isn't the purpose of life to have a wife, children and a warm bed?"

I held Ading's shoulders and said this.

Ading has been with me for so many years, and come to think of it, it's time for him to enjoy himself.

When Ading heard me say this, he no longer insisted.

"Brother Bai, I won't go with you. I still have to fulfill my bet."

When we got outside, Fatty Wang said to me.

"Okay, don't forget to invite me when you get married."

I looked at the two of them and gave them the same blessing.

"Of course, Brother Bai."

When Xiaoxiao heard me say this, she also poked her head out to answer.

"It's cold outside, stay back."

When Fatty Wang saw this scene, he caressed the little head lovingly from behind and said softly.

"Okay, let's go now."

Seeing the two of them getting really annoyed with each other, I couldn't help but say this.

"Brother Bai, these two cars are left to you. There are four bodyguards inside. They are old, so be careful."

After Fatty Wang finished speaking, he left behind two luxury cars and then left.

I originally wanted to refuse, but when I heard the bodyguard say that they could take the highway and greatly reduce the time, I had no choice but to get on with reluctance.

"Brother Bai, I heard that you have lived in northern Myanmar for many years. Can you tell us about your experience?"

The driver's bodyguard was a young guy who was a bit talkative and asked me this.

"It's a long story..."

I murmured.

Then I took out a cigarette and started smoking.

"Brother Bai, let's talk about something else. It's quite boring."

Another bodyguard in the back seat said to me.

"Then tell me about it?"

When I heard the two of them say this, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.

Then I told them my experience.

"Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that place to be so dangerous. I wanted to travel there once."

After hearing my story, a bodyguard couldn't help but sigh like this.

"Brother Bai, the Myawaddy you mentioned is not well known in China..."

Another bodyguard spoke up.

"There's none?"

I also asked in confusion.

"Brother Bai, I think you should write down your deeds, so that more people can be wary of being deceived..."

"Yes, the Internet is so developed, we can use e-books to write and publish on our mobile phones, it's very convenient."

After the two security guards encouraged me, I registered an account and wrote the first line of text in a very fluent manner.

A few hours later, we were off the highway...
