Beauty and the Bodyguard

. Chapter 1148 - Who's Scaring Who?

Lin Yi had expressed to her his feelings more than once, but she felt that Lin Yi was too good for her. It made her feel insecure! Especially when she was unable to help out with anything. She felt like a vase, something you could only look at but not use!

"Let's not talk about that…" Mengyao shook her head. "It's May first already, one more month left before graduation. What school are you thinking of applying to, Tang Yun?"

"I don't know." Tang Yun shook her head. "But I'll apply to the one Lin Yi applies to. What about you guys?"

"Us…" Mengyao curled her lips. She wanted to be in the same college with Lin Yi as well, naturally, but she just said that she didn't like him. Why would she do this if she didn't like him?

"Maybe we could go to the same college? We'll be good friends together and look after each other?" Tang Yun's heart felt a little sourness. It seemed that Mengyao had feelings for Lin Yi after all, but Tang Yun wasn't the type of enemy who would use unfair tactics. After seeing her intentions, Tang Yun decided to be generous and open and make the invitation.

"Yeah, that's good too. I don't have many friends… Other than Shu, it's just you and Lin Yi…" Mengyao calmed down a bit as she spoke.

"What do you guys think Lin Yi and Xiaoxiao are doing over there right now?" Yushu interrupted.

"How are we supposed to know?" The Miss frowned. Lin Yi doing that with another girl didn't make her too comfortable, and even though she was about to die soon, Mengayo was still hesitant about it.

Of course, she still understood logically that she should support the two's relationship.

"Well, do you want Master Spy Shu to go check for you, see what they're up to?" Yushu said as she peeked outside the door.

"You go if you want. We're not the ones sending you…" Mengyao wanted to know now, after what Yushu said- but she was too embarrassed to admit it.

"I don't know… I'm not involved…" Tang Yun shook her head.

"Okay, I'll go check then." Yushu was getting excited. She wouldn't be Chen Yushu if she didn't peek!

Mengyao and Tang Yun looked at each other. Tang Yun was the most involved with Lin Yi- she knew about what they might do, and she had accepted it in her heart. It didn't matter whether or not she checked.

Mengyao, on the other hand, couldn't go join in with Shu- wouldn't that mean she cared for Lin Yi? She didn't!

Yushu sneaked out the tent and stealthily walked over to Lin Yi.

Taizao was already wearing a black raincoat, his hands with rubble gloves as his heart thumped- he was heading for Mengyao's tent!

Jianwen had already made the preparations. The moment Mengyao screamed, he would jump out and rush to save her! After all, it seemed that Lin Yi and that Feng girl should be doing that kind of stuff, and he wouldn't have time to save Mengyao if she screamed. This task fell on him!

Taizao was actually very scared. He was pretending to be a ghost, but he was more worried still that he'd bump into a real one! He was only a fake, after all, and he knew that very well, he would be screwed if he met a real one!

"Please, gods in heaven, don't let me meet a ghost…" Taizao chanted as he walked on.

Yushu walked out to see a black figure exiting Jianwen's tent--she wondered what that was all about.

And so, she didn't go to Xiaoxiao and Lin Yi's place, but crouched down on the sand to hide--she wanted to know what this black figure was up to!

Taizao was already scared enough, and he wouldn't be looking left and right! Put that with Yushu's excellent hiding abilities. He wasn't able to see her at all!

"Is this An Jianwen or Su Taizao? What is he planning to do? What's with the raincoat, it's not raining? Is he trying to dive?" Yushu mumbled to herself as she kept her eyes on him.

Taizao pressed on forward carefully, looking back sometimes as if worried something was following him.

"This Yang Ganglou, what stupid idea is this? Not coming and making me be the ghost… it's damn scary out here!" Taizao mumbled as he gritted his teeth, trying to finish the mission.

Seeing Taizao getting closer and closer to their tent, Yushu decided to ask what this guy was planning to do!

And so, she climbed up from the sand, and ran behind Taizao, tapping his shoulder.

"What… What's touching me?" Taizao's body tensed up--he'd been looking behind him after a couple steps the whole time, and there was nothing there! What could this be?

"It's you. An Bro, don't scare me… It's you right…" Taizao said weakly. "An Bro, I'm not a brave person, don't scare me… How am I supposed to scare Chu Mengyao as a ghost if you scare me first…"

Yushu now knew that he was Taizao, but she didn't expect for him to be such a coward! So he was planning on scaring Yao Yao sis. That's why he was wearing this outfit, and putting on the raincoat hood as well, along with rubber gloves!

So he wanted to be a ghost? Fine, she'd show him what a ghost looked like

!

Yushu didn't talk but patted on Taizao's shoulder again. She put out her tongue.

"An Bro, what is it… Why don't you talk?" Taizao was carefully turning back- but his hairs all stood up from the shivers once he saw the sight!

A pale-faced ghost in white, sticking her tongue out at him, right behind him!

Yushu's face was covered in a facial mask, and she was wearing white sleeping robes, too- put that with her stuck out tongue, and she looked the same as the traditional ghost of legends, especially when they were under the moonlight! Taizao was worried about ghosts in the first place, so seeing this only eradicated him!

"Ghost- Ah!! It's a ghost!!" Taizao screamed as he ran away!

Yushu grinned evilly, putting out a victory hand sign. This guy really was a coward. Why was he pretending to be a ghost with those guts?

<strong>Translator's note:</strong>

Hi guys, Marcy here. If you're from the old platform, long time no see!

Currently, Webnovel has halted BAB indefinitely because of its lacking number of views, which is partly because of the ratings and votes. Yet, there are almost 400 translated chapters ready to go in stockpile, and many more chapters that Willie and I aren't allowed to work on because of the cancellation.

Pretty much the only thing that can change the situation is if we get a burst of high ratings and votes... If not, there'll be no more BAB chapters in the future. :(

Regardless of what happens, thank you all for reading BAB. Hope to see you again! :)
