Beauty and the Bodyguard

Mister Feng and Lin Yi

“Ah… What are you saying, I don’t understand…” Xiaoxiao covered her ears, not daring to listen. Her heart, however, was beating violently. Did she… want to have a relationship?

For as long as she’d known, she was always avoiding the two most important things in life—friendship and love. She didn’t know when she’d suddenly just die, and the thought of having to say goodbye to his friends and lover scared her—she didn’t want to be in pain and feeling desperate to be with those loved ones moments before she died! As a result, in her eighteen years of life, friendship and love had never touched her!

She didn’t have any true friends, only people who she messed around with. If she were to disappear one day, just like how she had a while ago, those car racing friends wouldn’t come looking for her, and would find new car racing friends to join them…

Xiaoxiao felt that she was merely a visitor to this world, a bystander, rushing in and rushing out! Until the last moment of her life, she would pass through it peacefully!

But her father’s words today affected that sealed heart of hers. She may have been afraid of the harm that came from friendship and love, but she had that desire as well. She looked forward to the sweets and sours that friendship brought, that one best friend who knew your mind, that lover who was a part of you—She’d die pretty happy then, wouldn’t she?

But she felt that doing so was a little selfish. Friendship, fine, but love… Was she willing to let her lover suffer the pain of losing her? Xiaoxiao thought that was too cruel!

Xiaoxiao never said anything, but she could tell how sad her father was these days. Mother was still on his mind, but there was nothing he could do but work to escape the pain!

Sometimes, a small idea, once planted in the heart, grows into a seed. It grows and grows, sprouting into a sapling that can’t be pulled out easily!

Xiaoxiao didn’t dare think about love, she knew she didn’t have the right to, but now that her father encouraged her… Though she said no on the surface, her heart had already loosened up…

She wanted to feel what it was like to be in love… Even if she could only have a short taste…

But no! She’d hurt him!

Xiaoxiao liked to prank people, but that was all within a manageable area of causing misunderstandings and causing trouble. Plus, those were targeted towards jerks as well. She really couldn’t do that to someone she loved!

“Dad, do you miss mom?” Xiaoxiao asked.

“Huh?” Tianlong paused, a flash of pain and memory hitting his eyes. “Of course, of course, I do. Why’d you ask that so suddenly?”

“Then if I get a boyfriend, he’ll miss me in the future, he’ll be in pain…” Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Plus, my child will be just like me, missing the mother… I don’t want them to suffer…”

“Xiaoxiao…” Tianlong sighed. Of course, she knew his daughter’s thought process. But, this only strengthened his will—he had to go to Lin Yi for a talk!

“Haha, don’t worry. Dad, I’m living pretty well right now. As long as you don’t bring me to checkups again I’ll live a nice life.” Xiaoxiao shook her head.

“Xiaoxiao, tell me honestly, do you like Lin Yi?” Tianlong didn’t reply but switched to a serious question instead as he turned around.

“Ah?” Xiaoxiao didn’t expect her father to still be on this topic! He was getting blunter by the second, and she didn’t know how to answer! Did she like Lin Yi? She didn’t know, all she knew was that she was angry at him at first, and wanted revenge!

A sudden question hit her—if she were to pretend to fall in love with Lin Yi, she’d be able to see what being in a relationship felt like, and when she died, Lin Yi would feel sad for sure, and that’d achieve her goal of revenge!

Heh heh! This was what he got for pissing on her, and even using fireworks on her butt! It was the biggest disgrace ever! It was decided, Xiaoxiao would start loving him from today onwards, and after Lin Yi fell for her, she’d die! She looked forward to the pain she would bring Lin Yi.

Naturally, she couldn’t say this to her father. She only planned it silently in her heart!

Now that she’s understood what she should do, Xiaoxiao was in a perfect mood. Achieving the goal of tasting love as well as having revenge—it was too perfect!

“Xiaoxiao, ask him out—I want to see him!” Tianlong knew that his guess was probably on point after one look at his daughter’s expression. Even if she didn’t love Lin Yi, there must be some affection for him. At least, from what he could see, the two were already in a rather intimate relationship already.

His daughter must have been naked when showering, and yet Lin Yi was right beside her. That could only mean one thing.

“Huh?!” Xiaoxiao jumped as she looked at her father in disbelief. “You… You want me to bring him to meet you?”

“Yes, what’s wrong?” Tianlong smiled. “Don’t worry, Xiaoxiao, I only want to ask him things regarding your sickness, how he saved you when it acted up. You know that you got a lot better, so we might be able to find some cure from him?”

“Is that so…” Xiaoxiao didn’t believe him completely.

“Of course!” Tianlong nodded. “If you’re not going to do it, I’ll have to go find him myself!”

“No—Don’t, I’ll talk to him first!” Xiaoxiao jumped. She didn’t know was feeling rather troubled- it wasn’t a few days ago when she made Lin Yi come here using this father move, and now her father really did want to meet Ln Yi!

What a big mouth. Now it was actually happening, she felt quite troubled indeed.

“That works. I’ll be in Songshan a couple of days, bring him over as a guest then.” Tianlong said.

“Okay, fine…” Xiaoxiao said helplessly. She told him that her father wanted to meet him so she could make him come to the hotel, but now that it had become a reality she felt really troubled.

She wanted to have revenge on Lin Yi! But now that he met her parents that changed the texture of the whole thing. Could she still take her revenge? She hoped their discussion didn’t involve her!
