Little Bodyguard(GL) 16

Chapter 16

“I…” Zhuo Zhi thought for a moment, giving up on struggling with the term of address, and answered the question, “No.”

She was too decisive. Li Qinyue clicked her tongue and said, “Not honest.”

“Really,” Zhuo Zhi continued to diligently clear her plate, “I don’t, that kind of liking…”

“Which kind?” Li Qinyue rested her chin on her hand.

Zhuo Zhi glanced up at her, “The kind you’re thinking of.”

Li Qinyue felt that her life was probably too boring, so when this serious little thing appeared, she couldn’t help but tease her.

It was a very pointless conversation, but Li Qinyue was unwilling to stop there. So she pressed on, “What kind am I thinking of? You always misunderstand me…”

Zhuo Zhi sighed with exasperation, putting down her chopsticks, “The kind of liking where you want to do intimate things with someone.”

Li Qinyue: “…”

Intimate things. Someone actually described sex so innocently in real life. Li Qinyue looked at Zhuo Zhi, speechless.

Zhuo Zhi said, “Don’t deny it, I didn’t misunderstand this time, that’s what you meant.”

Li Qinyue retorted, “I really didn’t mean that. I meant the kind of ordinary liking.”

“There are many kinds of ordinary liking,” Zhuo Zhi said smoothly, “I like you, Sister Aijia, Grandpa Li, I like them all.”

“Am I number one?” Li Qinyue asked.

This time, Zhuo Zhi hesitated for two seconds before nodding, “Yes.”

Li Qinyue sighed and stood up, stretching. She never thought this day would come.

She had been pressing Zhuo Zhi for answers, and after getting a negative answer, she still had to try to comfort herself indirectly.

Her face was completely lost.

The heartbroken Miss Li walked out of the conference room. Zhuo Zhi hurriedly cleaned up the mess on the table, gathered the documents in her arms, and quickly followed.

Li Qinyue didn’t intend to stop at all. Zhuo Zhi was still a few meters away and hurriedly called out to her, “President Li, what should I do with these?”

Li Qinyue turned to look at the things in her arms, raised an eyebrow, and asked, “Why did you take them out?”

“Just leave them in there?” Zhuo Zhi was stunned.

A young woman who had been working overtime suddenly stood up and walked over, smiling awkwardly, “I’ll take care of it, I’ll take care of it.”

Zhuo Zhi looked at Li Qinyue. Li Qinyue nodded, and Zhuo Zhi handed her the documents, “Thank you.”

The two of them left the company and entered the elevator. Li Qinyue smiled and said, “You’re quite the worrier.”

Zhuo Zhi didn’t reply, slightly lowering her head, lost in thought.

The elevator reached the first floor, and after a few steps out of the office building, they were back at “Shengge” after crossing the street.

It wasn’t too late, and if the blue-haired girl was interested, she would definitely be waiting for Li Qinyue.

Zhuo Zhi couldn’t avoid this issue. Even if she found a way to avoid it today, there would be many more such situations in the future.

So, she stopped Li Qinyue and said, “Sister, are you going to find that blue-haired girl?”

“She has a name,” Li Qinyue said.

“What’s her name?” Zhuo Zhi couldn’t remember.

Li Qinyue thought for a moment, “I forgot.”

Someone pushed open the door of the office building. A gust of cold wind blew in, making Li Qinyue’s clothes flutter.

Zhuo Zhi took a step closer to her and whispered, “You can do whatever you want, I won’t interfere.”

“Hmm?” Li Qinyue didn’t quite understand what she meant.

Zhuo Zhi stepped back, straightening her back, and said, “There’s a fast food restaurant next door, open 24 hours. I’ll wait for you there.”

Li Qinyue was a little surprised, “You’re not coming with me?”

“This is your private life,” Zhuo Zhi coughed, “As long as your safety is ensured, I respect your privacy.”

She paused, “Call me if anything happens.”

In “Shengge”, two sets of performers had already come and gone.

Li Qinyue entered through the back door, walked through the dimly lit corridor, went to the kitchen, and grabbed a pudding, popping it into her mouth.

The sweet and smooth taste didn’t bring her much joy. Li Qinyue crossed her arms, pondered for a moment, and then went straight up to the second floor.

The second floor had a good view, overlooking the entire bar. Aijia was in a good mood today, busy behind the bar. When Li Qinyue’s gaze fell on her, the sharp-eyed bar manager looked up.

Their eyes met, and Aijia, despite the distance, asked with her eyes: Where’s Zhuo Zhi?

Li Qinyue leaned against the railing and shrugged.

Aijia raised her chin, her meaning clear this time: That person is waiting for you.

Li Qinyue looked over. The blue-haired girl was occupying a table by herself, three glasses of wine placed on it.

Li Qinyue took out her phone and checked the time. It had been almost an hour since the performance ended, but she didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty.

She even felt a little irritated.

The irritated Li Qinyue stood there, not knowing what to do, so she simply opened a game and randomly joined a match.

Just as she was crouching down, aiming for a headshot, someone behind her said, “Hi.”

The deliberately lowered voice was quite pleasant. Li Qinyue’s hand paused, missing the opportunity. She simply sprayed bullets everywhere, killing the enemy randomly.

“Nice gear,” the person behind her said, “Want to play a round together?”

“Wait till I’m done,” Li Qinyue didn’t turn around.

This was the most serious she had ever played this game since downloading it.

She tried her best to stay alive until the end, but she was unlucky and got caught in the blue zone while running from the shrinking play area.

The blue-haired girl smiled and said, “Your teammates aren’t very good, play with me, I’ll protect you.”

Li Qinyue put away her phone and said bluntly, “I don’t like people watching me play games.”

The blue-haired girl immediately said, “I’m sorry.”

Her attitude was sincere. Li Qinyue didn’t say anything more.

There were a few seconds of silence, the atmosphere a bit awkward. The blue-haired girl looked at Li Qinyue and decided to get straight to the point, “What are your plans for the night?”

“No plans,” Li Qinyue said.

“Then let me make some arrangements,” the blue-haired girl paused, “Is that okay?”

Li Qinyue looked up and smiled, “What kind of arrangements do you have in mind?”

There weren’t many people where they were standing. The overhead light shone on Li Qinyue’s face, not diminishing her beauty in the slightest, but rather highlighting her wild beauty.

The blue-haired girl looked at her intently, her breathing slowing down.

After a few seconds of eye contact, the blue-haired girl leaned forward, closing the distance between them.

Her lips moved, and she said, “I want to kiss you.”

Li Qinyue’s smile remained on her face, but her heart skipped a beat.

She remembered Zhuo Zhi gasping from the spicy food earlier, her lips red and swollen. How could someone so old still get food on their lips?

That kind of scene, if it were in a romance drama, would require the domineering CEO to gently wipe it off with his finger. If it were in a novel, the CEO would just kiss it off.

Tsk, tsk, Li Qinyue’s thoughts were running wild, unstoppable.

The atmosphere became truly awkward. The blue-haired girl still didn’t want to give up, but Li Qinyue really had no interest at all.

She patted the blue-haired girl’s shoulder and finally felt a rare twinge of guilt, “Sister, I don’t want to kiss you, go find someone else.”

If Li Qinyue was unwilling, any sensible person wouldn’t try to force her.

The blue-haired girl was somewhat sensible. She stepped back and smiled wryly, “Come find me whenever you change your mind.”

Li Qinyue raised an eyebrow. The blue-haired girl didn’t leave her contact information, just turned and went downstairs.

Li Qinyue let out a long sigh, feeling incredibly bored all of a sudden.

This feeling often appeared in her life, overwhelming boredom, gut-wrenching boredom, the kind of boredom that gave her a headache and made her feel lethargic.

She started staring at the people downstairs, table after table of people, some laughing, some arguing, some drinking and crying.

“Shengge” had a decent number of customers, but Li Qinyue felt like the entire bar was empty, nothing worth looking at.

Her gaze wandered and suddenly, she felt that this scene was somewhat similar to when she first met Zhuo Zhi.

Tsk, Li Qinyue was a little frustrated. She leaned against the railing, turned around, and took out a cigarette, lighting it.

She didn’t believe that her life was so boring now that there was nothing interesting left besides that little girl.

Halfway through the cigarette, there was a commotion downstairs.

Li Qinyue looked over and saw a drunk man causing trouble, flipping over a neighboring table. In an instant, tensions rose, and a fight was about to break out.

This kind of thing was common in bars. Aijia managed the place well, and the security guards quickly stepped in.

Li Qinyue’s heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly felt excited.

She quickly grabbed her phone and dialed Aijia. As soon as the call connected, she said quickly, “Don’t interfere, let them fight.”

Aijia looked up at her, “Do you know them?”

Li Qinyue didn’t answer, hanging up and dialing another number.

There was a glass of ginger ale in front of Zhuo Zhi. She had been sipping it for a while, but only a small amount was gone.

There weren’t many people in the fast food restaurant at this hour. Zhuo Zhi could only see the cashier playing with her phone.

Zhuo Zhi had never thought phones were fun before. When she was bored, she could run around the mountains, picking fruits and flowers, climbing rocks, and catching fish.

If she really wanted to play with someone, she could go to the other side of the mountain and spar with the monks from the temple. Fighting her way through, just like in martial arts novels, it was exciting and satisfying.

But it was different down the mountain. It was fine when she could follow Li Qinyue, but when she couldn’t, just waiting like this was really boring.

She had no games, videos, or social media apps on her phone, nothing to play with.

She daydreamed, meditated, and wondered when Li Qinyue would be done. She had to discuss her salary with her so that she could get paid next month and buy a new phone.

Perhaps she had thought about phones too much, because the phone in her pocket actually vibrated.

Zhuo Zhi stood up as she took out her phone. 99% of the time, it was Li Qinyue calling.

The call connected, and it was very noisy on Li Qinyue’s end. She said, “Zhuo Zhi, come here quickly!”

It wasn’t often that she called her full name so seriously, and her tone was quite urgent. Zhuo Zhi immediately rushed out.

She wanted to ask about the situation over the phone, but Li Qinyue had already hung up.

Zhuo Zhi’s heart skipped a beat, and she ran towards the back door of “Shengge” at full speed.

It wasn’t far. It only took her a few dozen seconds to reach the main hall of the bar.

She had chosen to stay in the fast food restaurant instead of going to the company’s lounge to rest, as Li Qinyue had suggested, because she wanted to be as close to Li Qinyue as possible.

This way, if something like this happened, she could quickly get to her side and prevent any harm.

However, in just these few dozen seconds, Zhuo Zhi had gone through all the possible dangers in her mind, and she even started to regret letting Li Qinyue stay in this chaotic and mixed-up place.

She was such a beautiful girl, every frown and smile captivating.

And she was a beautiful girl with ulterior motives, ready to charm both men and women.

Zhuo Zhi saw the man throwing a tantrum, the broken bottles at his feet, and her anxiety turned into anger.

People were shouting and arguing, and the music suddenly became loud, making it impossible for Zhuo Zhi to find Li Qinyue directly and effectively.

So she charged forward, using the steps as leverage, and kicked the man who was making the most noise right in the chest.

There were gasps all around. The man staggered back several steps and bumped into a table.

Crash, more bottles shattered on the floor.

Zhuo Zhi stood tall and imposing in the brightest spot of the light beam, her figure out of place with the surroundings. The man, upon seeing that it was a skinny little girl who had kicked him, cursed and charged towards her without hesitation.

He was speaking in dialect, and Zhuo Zhi couldn’t understand, but his raised hand had a clear target.

Zhuo Zhi dodged the attack, grabbed the man’s wrist, twisted it behind his back, and elbowed him in the back.

The man let out a cry and fell to his knees.

Then he was silent from the pain, collapsing motionlessly like a duck waiting to be slaughtered.

The surroundings fell silent, everyone staring at Zhuo Zhi. She waved her hand, trying to get rid of the spotlight that was constantly on her, but the beam was persistent, following her movements closely.

Zhuo Zhi gave up and shouted, “Li Qinyue!”

Li Qinyue poked her head out from behind the lighting control panel. Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, she waved her hand, “Hey! I’m here!”

“Are you alright?!” Zhuo Zhi charged towards her, jumping over several chairs that were in the way.

Li Qinyue’s eyes were shining, but her brows furrowed, her acting terrible as she said, “Little frog, I’m so scared!”
