Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1152 - Deep Mark

"You're right, I can't let my guard down!" Taizao nodded. "Fortunately for us, Feng Xiaoxiao wasn't involved this time. Otherwise, I'd be screwed!"

"Yes, so stop messing around, and go take a shower!" Jianwen said impatiently. "You got all your shit on me! How old are you, still pissing your pants?"

"Ugh… Stop mentioning it, An Bro, I'm getting embarrassed already…" Taizao blushed.

"Then go take a shower. What are you waiting for?" With that, Jainwen walked towards the beach.

"I'm not waiting for anything, but An Bro, the sky's all dark now, I'm afraid!" Taizao said hesitantly.

"I'm going with you--what are you scared of??" Jianwen raged.

"I'm scared of ghosts! That scene from earlier is still fresh in my mind!" Taizao said weakly.

"Ghost? Didn't I tell you that there are no ghosts, those were the girls! Are you absolutely stupid?" Jainwen said. "If you don't want to shower, you better not sleep inside the tent tonight. You stay outside!"

"I… I'll shower then," Taizao said- it'd be a true horror experience if he stayed outside the tent at night! He might as well grit his teeth and be scared now.

The night passed in silence.

The second morning, Lin Yi opened his eyes.

He'd always enter his dreams and train, but Lin Yi was very good at controlling the time difference. He may be in his dream, but the bridge between him and the real world remained. Many people weren't able to do this, but he could.

In his dreams, in the jade space, it was no different from reality for Lin Yi.

"Xiaoxiao, wake up. It's time to go see the sunrise." Lin Yi patted the deep asleep Xiaoxiao lightly.

Lin Yi slept separately with Xiaoxiao last nigh. Perhaps it was because of her big words with Yushu yesterday that she got all awkward and shy all of a sudden.

She was a child, after all, a girl. The big talk didn't mean she would do it.

The latter half of the night, however, Xiaoxiao naturally rolled into Lin Yi's embrace, but he didn't push her away, continuing to sleep.

"Hm?" Xiaoxiao woke up slowly, still in a blur. "It's time? Breakfast time?"

Xiaoxiao jumped out of Lin Yi's arms and moved around in the tent. "The oven- where's the oven?!"

Lin Yi watched Xiaoxiao move about, feeling touched and warm. She always made breakfast packed with love for him every morning, evidently getting used to it already. She woke up to open the oven when the alarm woke her.

It was a rare thing for them to come out and play this once and relax, but Xiaoxiao still treated this as her house.

"Xiaoxiao, we're at the beach!" Lin Yi hugged her--it was the first time he hugged her by his own will. In his heart, this girl had already left a deep mark.

"Ah?" Xiaoxaio rubbed her tired eyes, realizing what was going on. She felt a bit embarrassed, "I thought it was my house!"

"You don't have to wake up so early to do those breakfast boxes anymore. Rest a bit. Seeing you like this hurts me, you know." Lin Yi said clearly as he looked at Xiaoxiao.

"Ah!" Lin Yi's care took her by surprise. She didn't respond in time. From her view, Lin Yi may like her, but being with her was more due to the gamble that Tang Yun lost.

But now, she saw that Lin Yi's eyes were filled with love--Lin Yi loved her!

Xiaoxiao couldn't react properly in time--the initial plan was to make him fall in love with her, and then she'd ditch him… This was a revenge plan! But now, that plan had been buried deep, and she didn't even think of it anymore.

However, her disease was still there. Whether or not she wanted to revenge, it was inevitable that Lin Yi would be sad when she left. This wasn't what she wanted to see!

"Why… Why are you so nice to me…" Xiaoxiao was getting scared- she felt so guilty like she was playing with fire- but she couldn't stop now! You couldn't just play around with emotions like this!

"You're nice to me, so of course, I'd be nice to you." Lin Yi smiled. "Sunrise, right? Let's go. The sun's not waiting for us."

"Oh…" Xiaxoaio said, wondering if she should tell him the truth.

But what if he got mad once she told him, what if he left her? She didn't want to let this relationship go just like that!

She didn't know what to do!

"Yesterday night- did you sleep while hugging me?" Xiaoxiao changed the topic- she didn't want to dwell on such a frustrating thing.

Lin Yi nodded.

"You... " Xiaoxiao bit her lip, blushing. "Do you want me? I… It's okay now… I've thought it through…"

"Huh??" Lin Yi blinked.

"I want to be your woman!" Xiaoxiao said, not holding back anymore.

She was thinking that giving herself to him would be some form of compensation. It'd be to Lin Yi's favor! She was about to die, but she was still a virgin! Weren't these the things those delinquents she used to hang with bragged about? They always fought with each other, comparing how many virgins they had under their belt, how many women they tried…

Lin Yi was moved, but he kept his composure. "We'll talk about that later. Let's go see the sunrise first? It's gonna be up soon."

"Okay…" Xiaoxiao nodded, her face red and a little frustrated that Lin Yi rejected her! He was almost perfect, but he was just too serious!

But Xiaoxiao didn't know what Lin Yi was thinking. It was just that Lin Yi had no cause to be thinking about that sort of thing! Xiaoxiao's life was ending. Of course, his mind wouldn't be occupied there!

The main thing now was to try and save Xiaoxiao's life--Otherwise, Lin Yi would carry that regret for the rest of his life!
