Beauty and the Bodyguard

“Yao Yao, wanna go sit in the shade?” Yushu grinned evilly.

“Sit in the shade so we can watch Lin Yi hit on girls?” Mengyao frowned, not very pleased seeing Lin Yi sitting there with Tang Yin. This was in the middle of the day, a weekday, too! He was supposed to be on duty, so why was he mingling with the school beauty!!

She was a school beauty herself as well, and so was Yushu! How come Lin Yi only went after Tang Yin all the time when he had a miss and employer right here for him?! Shouldn’t she be the one Lin Yi chased after, by all rights..?

Mengyao felt quite upset at all this- was she simply not attractive enough?

As much as Mengyao felt like she didn’t need someone like Lin Yi falling in love with her or anything, being ignored by him as he pursued other girls pissed her off!

He was blatantly ignoring her!! Couldn’t he at least go after Yushu if she wasn’t good enough for him? Why Tang Yin???

Although, the two did look very good as a couple, sitting there with the same school uniform and everything…

Maybe they were meant for each other after all…

“Heh heh, we can go learn from him, see how he hits on girls so well!” Yushu nodded.

“.....We’re girls, Shu, we don’t hit on girls. We’d have been a couple long ago if we were into girls!” Mengyao looked at Yushu, speechless.

“Oh. Let’s go see how Tang Yin hits on hot guys, then…….” Yushu just wanted to sate her curiosity with Mengyao.

“...... Lin Yi’s a hot guy?” Mengyao pursed her lips. “I…… I couldn’t be any less interested!”

But she walked in Lin Yi’s direction with Yushu all the same.

Lin Yi couldn’t help smiling bitterly as he saw the two misses walk over- the two were clearly here to cause trouble. Although, Mengyao seemed to have gotten pulled along by Yushu; a miss like her wouldn’t walk over to mingle with something like this.

“It’s so nice under this shade, Yao Yao!” Yushu walked over to the stone slab, pulling Mengyao along to where Lin Yi and Tang Yin were sitting- there was nowhere left for her to sit! “Yo, Shie- hey, can you scoot over? I need this shade!”

Yushu almost let the words ‘Shield Bro’ out- Mengyao would’ve been pissed if she’d exposed their relationship then and there.

Tang Yin, however, was a bit irritated by Yushu’s tyranny, but remembered how Yushu had passionately helped her out some time ago when she went to Lin Yi’s class to look for him.

But they were here first, so why should they just give their spot away?

Lin Yi, on the other hand, acted as if he didn’t hear anything, not budging an inch- it made Tang Yin anxious.

After all, as beyond the Big Four Lin Yi was, Yushu was a little devil not even the Big Four dared to cross… Even the likes of Zhong Pinliang and Zou Ruoming feared her.

Even Tang Yin had heard of how Yushu dealt with Wu Xiaocan after he’d shamed her- she was worried Yushu would want revenge on Lin Yi as well. “Maybe we should leave……”

“Ignore them.” Lin Yi knew it- Yushu was here to cause trouble. He decided to ignore her and enjoy the shade until she left out of boredom.

Yushu was quite troubled at the ineffectiveness of her command- she didn’t want to expose her relationship with Lin Yi, too. She turned to look at Mengyao, her face bitter.

“There’s a shade there, too- let’s go.” Mengyao wasn’t Yushu- she wasn’t interested in fighting Lin Yi for the shade.

“But Yao Yao… I like it here!” Yushu didn’t want to leave at all- she still wanted to listen to what Lin Yi and Tang Yin were talking about!

“Then you sit here then. I’m leaving.” Mengyao found it a little awkward- what was with her standing here watching Lin Yi hit on someone???

“Oh… Okay then……” Yushu had no choice but to follow Mengyao as she left for another spot.

Mengyao found a clean stone slab and sat down, taking her MP4 out. She put on _Pleasant Lamb and Big Big Wolf_ to watch with Yushu…

Yushu, however, made sure to dart her eyes to where Lin Yi was sitting, wondering what he was up to. That lazy face of his and the lack of any flirting made Yushu lose interest a bit later.

“What are… they doing? They’re acting weird.” Tang Yin didn’t understand what Yushu was trying to do, leaving after giving Lin Yi an order. What was with her?

“Chen Yushu? Don’t bother, that girl’s always crazy. Who knows what’s inside that head of hers.” Lin Yi shrugged.

Tang Yin looked at Lin Yi oddly- intuition told her that Lin Yi was hiding something..? “Are you close with her?”

“She’s in our class you know……” Lin Yi nodded vaguely.

“Oh… So she likes you?” Tang Yin wasn’t planning on letting go.

“Huh?!!” Lin Yi’s eyes shot themselves wide open- he looked at Tang Yin, shocked. “What did you say? She likes me?”

Yushu did confess to him once and everything, but that wasn’t real… Lin Yi thought that Yushu wouldn’t like him, with how immature she was. She probably wasn’t even at that stage where she could like boys, even.

“It’s nothing……” Tang Yin shook her head. It had been just a feeling, since Yushu just walking over like that seemed off…

But it didn’t really seem possible now that she thought about it.

Lin Yi wasn’t in the mood anymore with those two over there spying on him. He stood up to leave. “Let’s get back to class……”

“Yeah…” Tang Yin was feeling pretty shy from being watched, too. She stood up and left with Lin Yi.

“Yao Yao! Shield Bro’s leaving!!” Yushu never stopped watching Lin Yi the whole time.

“Let him leave.” Mengyao frowned, her eyes still on the MP4.

“Thought we could see something fun, too… Wasn’t expecting them to just sit there.” Yushu said, disappointed.
