Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Ugh ..." Ziyu realized that her words weren't very realistic. It didn't make sense-they should've gone back to school or the infirmary like Chen Xi said, why go home? School isn't over yet? But luckily, Ziyu's brain was quite sharp-she quickly came up with a plan."Yes, it was Grandpa Zhu. Grandpa Zhu was scrap picking near the school, so I asked him to help. It was the two of us who carried you back!"

"So that's how it is!" Chen Xi nodded, believing Ziyu's words. After all, she knew that boss Zhu often went to pick up scraps near the school."Then I'll have to thank Grandpa Zhu in person."

With that, Chen Xi was about to get up and go find the elder Zhu. She was a very polite girl, and since the elder Zhu helped her carry her back, Chen Xi naturally wouldn't pretend that she didn't know.

"Ah? Don't ... Don't go!" Ziyu jumped-the boss was talking to Lin Yi downstairs, where was she supposed to find him?

"What's wrong? Ziyu sis?" Chen Xi jumped at the sight of Ziyu's reaction.

"Um ... Grandpa Zhu's got a guest ..." Ziyu said.

"A guest?" Chen Xi was even weirder. She'd known elder Zhu for so many years, but she'd never heard of any friends. It seemed that the only guests in his house were her and her mother, right? So Chen Xi subconsciously thought that her mother was in the Zhu family, so she said,""It's fine. I don't mind thanking you! Ziyu sis, I'll be off!"

Ziyu saw that Chen Xi was leaving and quickly pulled her back, "Don't go, don't go, Grandpa Zhu isn't home, he's downstairs talking to Lin Yi ... Huh?"

Ziyu accidentally blurted out Lin Yi's name ...

"Lin Yi bro's here? Is he downstairs?" Chen Xi paused, turning to Ziyu.

"No, no, I mean, Grandpa Zhu is picking up scraps in the woods downstairs!" Ziyu quickly changed her words, but the pronunciation was quite similar.

"Grandpa Zhu is scrap picking in the woods downstairs?" Chen Xi's eyes widened,"is there ... A small forest downstairs?" There's no forest in our neighborhood, right?"

"Ha, I was wrong. I meant the garden in the neighborhood." Ziyu said.

"A small garden?" Chen Xi was even more puzzled."The small garden has people from the real estate company cleaning it every day. Where is there anything to pick up?"

Chen Xi often went scrap picking with elder Zhu, and she knew if you could pick up anything in the garden. Ziyu's words didn't make sense.

"This ... I don't know!" Ziyu didn't think that Chen Xi would be so easy to trick-she wouldn't have hidden it if she'd known. She'd just say that Lin Yi was here too, and that he'd help beat Chen Xiaoba up. But Ziyu didn't think that all she'd wanted to do was simplify things to cover up the violence-this lie was getting harder and harder to cover up. She had to use ten sentences to cover up one lie, and it was so troublesome. In the end, she couldn't cover it up anymore, either, so she had to stop.

"Ziyu sis, are you hiding something from me?" Chen Xi was suspicious. She stood up and was about to leave the room. "I'll go to the balcony and see what Grandpa Zhu is doing. "

"Alright, alright, little Xi! Don't go, I'll just tell you the truth!" Ziyu saw that Chen Xi was going to the balcony, and knew that they were going to be exposed! Lin Yi's big Cherokee was parked downstairs, and Chen Xi would definitely recognize it. Rather than letting her see it herself, she might as well just tell her.

"Ziyu-Jie? You are indeed hiding something from me?" Chen Xi was a bit surprised-she didn't think that Ziyu would really lie to her.

"Sigh, to be honest, it was Lin Yi bro who saved us and beat Chen Xiaoba and the others away. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to beat so many people no matter how good I am at fighting!" "It's just that Lin Yi bro seems to be looking for Grandpa Zhu for something, so Grandpa Zhu went to his car to talk. I was afraid that you'd be disappointed if you didn't see him, so I didn't tell you ..."Ziyu explained.

"Ah, I see ..." Chen Xi lowered her eyes in disappointment."He ... Doesn't like to talk to me ..."

"No, Xi, what are you thinking about?" Ziyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry."See, I told you I wouldn't tell you. You'll be disappointed if I tell you! In fact, Lin Yi bro didn't want me to wake you up on purpose. He saw that you've been lacking sleep recently, so he told me to let you sleep a little longer until you wake up naturally! I care so much about you!"

"Really?" Chen Xi had been going out with boss Zhu to pick up scraps at night, and she had to do her homework when she came back, so it was true that she didn't get enough sleep. Lin Yi was a doctor, too, so it wasn't hard for him to notice.

"Of course it's true!" Ziyu nodded,"plus, you don't know how careful Lin Yi bro was, carrying you all the way here. He didn't let us touch you because he was afraid you'd wake up. I'm so jealous of him!"

"Ah?" Chen Xi's little face suddenly turned red, and the disappointment from before was swept away, and she suddenly became happy again."Then why didn't you tell me, Ziyu sis? I'm ... I'm quite happy ..."

"Hehehe, little Jue's heart is moved!" Ziyu said, looking at the embarrassed face."But since you're awake and Lin Yi bro hasn't left yet, why don't you give him a call and ask him to come up?"

"Ah? Let Lin Yi bro come up? I'll make a call?" Chen Xi was a little moved, but she still said,""Isn't that bad? Lin Yi bro's already gone, I'll ask him to come back ..."

"Didn't you not leave yet? He left before because you didn't wake up, and he didn't know when you were going to sleep, so he left first. But it's different now, you're awake!" Ziyu said.

"That ... That's not very good, is it?" "I ... I'm embarrassed ..." Chen Xi said, embarrassed.

"What's there to be embarrassed about?" "Ziyu frowned," Xi, let me tell you-Lin Yi bro has so many pretty girls around him! If you don't work hard and grab onto them, you'll be eliminated and regret it for the rest of your life! To put it bluntly, do you want to be as lonely as Auntie for the rest of your life?"

"I ... I ..." Chen Xi was confused and worried. Yes, her mother was alone her whole life, and she liked Lin Yi. If she couldn't be with Lin Yi, would she end up like her mother? (To be continued.)
