Beauty and the Bodyguard

Why would I mind?

"But you…" Lin Yi thought that Tang Yun had agreed against her will, but now it seemed that Tang Yun had done so willingly.

"It's nothing. If Xiaoxiao accepts me and allows me to be by your side then it's good. If she doesn't accept me, then I'll just watch you guys silently from the side," laughed Tang Yun free heartedly.

Lin Yi nodded and didn't say anything else. He didn't think that things would come to this stage and that Feng Xiaoxiao had such a miserable life experience. One could never tell this on the surface, had Feng Tianlong not tell the truth, Lin Yi would still have believed that Feng Xiaoxiao was a healthy naughty chick...

The car arrived at the school and stopped at the small snack street behind the school. Lin Yi and Tang Yun returned to the school together.

Lin Yi and Tang Yun broke up at the door of the Twelfth-grade class. Before they broke up, Tang Yun blinked at Lin Yi and said "I'm going back to my class now, you can start your… plan to get girls! But don't get serious, I don't care, I'm just scared that you'll get upset!"

"Hah…" Lin Yi laughed and turned to walk to his class, "you're not getting anything to eat from the cafeteria?"

When Lin Yi came back, it was already the end of the last class in the afternoon. It was nearly time for self-study, and twelfth grade's self-study time was until past 6 pm, so many high schoolers would go and get something to eat at this time.

"I'll go by myself," said Tang Yun, "you should go to Xiaoxiao."

"The change is too sudden, she'll get suspicious, I should change slowly," Lin Yi shook his head instead, "I'll ask her later, let's go to the cafeteria together."

"Yeah alright," Tang Yun nodded, Lin Yi was right, if his attitude straight up did a 180 degree U-turn, then Feng Xiaoxiao would get suspicious!

Back in the classroom, Lin Yi saw Feng Xiaoxiao sitting all alone by herself and couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart. Feng Xiaoxiao didn't have any real friends. At that moment, the students all went out in pairs or groups to buy food, only Feng Xiaoxiao was alone.

Lin Yi walked over quickly and sat down.

Feng Xiaoxiao heard some movements around her and lifted her head. She saw that it was Lin Yi and couldn't help but be happy, "you're back? What took you so long?"

"You didn't go to buy something to eat? Self-study will go on until 6:30 pm. That's two hours, you won't be hungry?" Lin Yi avoided Feng Xiaoxiao's question and asked her instead.

"Ah?" Feng Xiaoxiao paused. She had never thought that Lin Yi would take the initiative to care about her and instantly felt excited, "I haven't eaten yet, are you gonna eat? We'll go to the cafeteria together?"

"I want to go with Tang Yun later," Lin Yi said dryly. He couldn't let Feng Xiaoxiao pick up any flaws. The previous sentence was already much better than usual, so he must maintain this level.

"Oh… I'll come too!" Feng Xiaoxiao was secretly annoyed, she thought Lin Yi had started to care for her, now it just seems that he was just asking her casually. Therefore she spoke with a tone that did not admit defeat.

"Whatever suits you," Lin Yi didn't refuse her as usual, but instead spoke without care and walked over to the classroom doorway.

Feng Xiaoxiao quickly followed and walked alongside Lin Yi. She just wouldn't believe it, could Lin Yi reject her pursuing so strongly? He will fall in love with her!

They came across to the classroom of Year 12 Class 9 where Lin Yi called for Tang Yun. Tang Yun saw Feng Xiaoxiao standing beside Lin Yi and instantly frowned and said with some 'surprise'" Lin Yi, she…"

"She wants to go to the cafeteria as well…" Lin Yi replied.

Tang Yun glanced at Feng Xiaoxiao which acted as her saying hello. She knew that she couldn't act too friendly as it would not suit her personality.

Thus, this strange trio went together towards the cafeteria. Lin Yi held Tang Yun's hand and Feng Xiaoxiao walked on his other side. She wanted to hold his hand as well but was scared that he would immediately shake her off, which would have been very embarrassing!

Feng Xiaoxiao felt like she was third-wheeling. Why were Lin Yi and Tang Yun so close?

It seemed to her that breaking them up wouldn't be very easy! Feng Xiaoxiao also knew from last time where Tang Yun had debunked the previous plan, that no matter what she did, Tang Yun wouldn't have much reaction. So she needed Lin Yi to fall in love with herself and break up with Tang Yun. That felt like an impossible task. At least Feng Xiaoxiao felt that it was pretty difficult for herself to complete this task in her remaining years of life!

Should she change her strategy? Watching Lin Yi and Tang Yun who stuck together like glue, Feng Xiaoxiao's little mind started turning again.

Hmm, how about she won't make Lin Yi break up with Tang Yun, but make Lin Yi fall in love with her and Tang Yun. After that she'll die, Lin Yi would be upset right? But then he still had Tang Yun, what if she dies and he doesn't feel anything? Wouldn't she have died for nothing?

Oh well, she was going to die anyway. If she couldn't take revenge on Lin Yi, then she would count this as using him to try out the feeling of falling in love because she doesn't have to worry about hurting his feelings. Yep, that'll do, thought Feng Xiaoxiao as she comforted herself.

As she thought of this, Feng Xiaoxiao was relieved and didn't feel that much hostility towards Tang Yun.

The trio arrived at the cafeteria and Lin Yi went to buy food. He knew what Tang Yun usually ate but wasn't sure what Feng Xiaoxiao liked to eat so he asked: "Xiaoxiao, what do you want to eat?"

"I… I'll eat whatever you guys eat, are you shouting me?" Feng Xiaoxiao heard that Lin Yi was going to shout her food and immediately felt happy. She didn't even know why she was so happy herself. Sometimes, the person who people don't understand the most is themselves.

Lin Yi nodded, "you weren't able to eat the beef noodles properly at lunch, so I'll just shout you again."

"Then I'll just eat whatever you guys eat!" Feng Xiaoxiao answered right away, she wasn't picky at all.

"Alright," Lin Yi nodded and went to buy food. Before he left, he glanced at Tang Yun, but she gave him a look of reassurance.

"Feng Xiaoxiao, what are you trying to do?" After Lin Yi left, Tang Yun turned to Feng Xiaoxiao and asked coldly.

"I… I like Lin Yi. Why can't I? You mind?" Feng Xiaoxiao never expected Tang Yun to be difficult, but she wasn't a weak person so her response was quite straightforward.

"Why would I mind?" Tang Yun pouted and said, "someone's stupid enough to want to be Lin Yi's mistress, why would I mind? I didn't even have the time to be happy. I'm just afraid that Lin Yi wouldn't even like you!"

"Huh?" Feng Xiaoxiao paused. She never thought that Tang Yun's words were so sharp. She had thought that Tang Yun would strongly oppose it but never thought that she would say that. However, Feng Xiaoxiao quickly realized, Tang Yun must have said that out of anger!
