Beauty and the Bodyguard

Approval

Lin Yi wasn't uninterested, but he didn't know how to sing! He did hear his old man sing some old songs before, but he hadn't even heard the newer songs these days, and he didn't even know who a popular star like Xu Shihan was!

And so Lin Yi never planned on entering any singing contest in the first place.

"Maybe, you, me, and Tang Yun sis can become a singing trio?" Xiaoxiao said as she continued to entice Lin Yi. "Look, you'd have a girl to your left and a girl to your right, how nice would that be!"

"Oh, go ask Tang Yun then." Lin Yi felt that he'd rejected enough already, it was time to compromise a little…

Pretending to be someone's boyfriend wasn't easy at all! He couldn't let her know that he was faking it, too, and had to slowly accept her. To tell the truth, for Lin Yi, it was more difficult than leveling up his strength.

Fortunately for him, Lin Yi didn't hate her or anything. At the very least, during his time in Yanjing, he found himself getting to know this troublemaking girl from a new perspective.

Lin Yi never said anything as Xiaoxiao continuously showed her love—this was because he didn't know her real purpose. He was worried that she'd hurt Tang Yun, and so he ignored her.

But now, Tang Yun knew the truth, and so Lin Yi decided that he'd just think of it as hitting on girls. He turned to look at Xiaoxioa. She was really cute, straightforward, and brave. She was mischievous, but considering her situation… It was perfectly understandable.

"I'll text her now!" Xiaoxiao quickly took out her phone, happy that Lin Yi said yes.

But Lin Yi's phone received a text before Xiaoxiao sent hers.

Lin Yi looked at the phone—it was from Yushu.

"Shield Bro, Yao Yao and I want to go to a KTV to practice tonight, will you come protect us? You can bring that family member of yours!"

Family member? Tang Yun? Lin Yi grinned in his heart as he looked at the text. It was a good thing that Shu and the Miss' attitude towards Tang Yun had changed as well, they weren't enemies anymore.

Shu asked politely, but Lin Yi had no reason to refuse. And so he said 'okay'.

"Who texted you?" Xiaoxiao thought that it was Tang Yun, and so she stopped typing.

"Chen Yushu." Lin Yi said. "She wants me to go to the KTV to practice with them."

"I'll go then!" Xiaoxiao said.

Lin Yi thought about it. Since the Miss said yes to him bringing someone with him, then might as well bring Xiaoxiao along. He nodded. "Alright, text Tang Yun then?"

"Okay, I'll do that!" Xiaoxiao said happily.

The singing contest was organized by the twelfth grade, so the things Lin Yi's teacher knew, Tang Yun's did as well.

Tang Yun saw the text from Xiaoxiao, asking to go KTVing with Lin Yi tonight. She said yes without thinking, wanting to give Xiaoxiao more opportunities to interact with Lin Yi. After all, who knew when her fate would strike?

"Lin Yi, Tang Yun sis said yes, she'll come with us." Xiaoxiao was quite excited—she wasn't expecting Tang Yun to accept her this easily! It seemed that as long as she worked hard, Lin Yi would come to like her in no time.

"What did you say to her? I thought you guys had a bad relationship." Lin Yi asked.

"You wouldn't understand the friendship between girls," Xiaoxioa said.

"..." Lin Yi didn't say anything more. He knew, naturally, that Tang Yun must have started the agreement on Xiaoxiao's terms… But he had to pretend he knew nothing. If he weren't curious at all, that'd be suspicious!

After school ended, Lin Yi was about to call the Miss and ask where they were headed when both of the girls had packed their bags and turned to look at him.

It'd been him who drove Mengyao and Shu to school the past few days, and so there was no reason to hide their relationship anymore. He put down the phone and walked over to them, Xiaoxiao following close by.

"Where are we going tonight?" Lin Yi said after approaching.

"I don't know. You know any good KTV's?" Mengyao hadn't been to somewhere like this before.

"We'll just look for one then." Lin Yi said. "Wasn't there a KTV parlor when we went for pool last time."

"We'll go there then!" Mengyao nodded before looking at Shu.

"Oh, Shield Bro, you bringing family?" Yushu remembered that Mengyao told her to ask Lin Yi to bring Tang Yun.

"Here, here, family here!" Xiaoxiao said quickly before Lin Yi could speak.

"You?" Yushu's eyes went wide as she looked at Xiaoxiao, who'd popped out of nowhere. She was confused. "I'm looking for Shield Bro's family member, which piece of onion are you anyway?"

"I'm his family! You're the onion—you're a piece of garlic!" Xiaoxiao said, a little displeased as she glared.

"You? How are you family?" Yushu paused. She didn't know what Xiaoxiao came here for, and Mengyao was feeling troubled as well. Why was this girl sticking by Lin Yi's side, claiming to be his family?

But she didn't say anything—not yet. That was how her personality was.

"I'm Lin Yi's mistress!" Xiaoxiao said gleefully as she looked at Yushu.

"Ha?? You're Shield Bro's mistress? Impossible—I'm Shield Bro's small wife!" Yushu glared.

"You? Aren't you just the best friend of his employer? Small wife? Did you receive Lin Yi's approval, or his big wife Tang Yun sis' approval?" Xiaoxiao said as she looked at Yushu, confident.

"Yao Yao sis is Shield Bro's big wife, and I'm the small wife—do I need approval for that?" Yushu said, not backing down. "What, you got permission?"

"I've received permission from the big wife Tang Yun sis herself!" Xiaoxiao hmphed. "What about you? No approval, right? Then you're just a fake small wife, a fake!"

"I've received Shield Bro's approval! You're fake, you pirated small wife!" Yushu hmphed. "Ask Shield Bro then, if you don't believe me!"

"Lin Yi, this silly woman's your small wife?" Xiaoxiao asked as she pointed at Yushu.
