Yue Wuxin asked, âAre you okay?â
Su Jincheng shook his head, wishing to himself that she could leave soon.
âIâm fine. Itâs just a headache! I probably got a cold!â
He then stood there in silence.
A cold? How did that happen?
She had no idea that he stayed in a tub of icy water for five hours last night.
âIâll get some medicine for you then. Take some first, okay?â
Su Jincheng stared at her. Does she think Iâll dare ingest whatever she gives me now?
âI donât need that. Please leave. Iâll be closing the door!â
Yue Wuxin quickly stopped him.
âWait, Jincheng. I thought about what happened yesterday. Go ahead to look for Luo Qiqi. Iâd also like to take some time to travel and since youâre my bodyguard, how about we travel together? I wonât do anything else to Luo Qiqi. Trust me on this, okay?â
Su Jincheng was surprised to hear this.
He watched her with suspicion. âYouâre allowing me to meet Luo Qiqi? Werenât you the one who said that Iâm not allowed to meet her as long as Iâm your bodyguard?â
Yue Wuxin shook her head. âThat was in the past. Since you donât have feelings for me and you also saved my life once, you donât have to keep that promise anymore. Everything seems to be clear now that Iâve really thought about it. Iâd like to go travelling for a bit. Letâs go look for Luo Qiqi, and you can have a proper conversation with her then. Letâs go together, okay?â
Su Jincheng contemplated this. It was unlikely that Yue Wuxin would be able to do anything with him around.
âFine. Letâs leave after I recover from my cold! Iâve already taken some medicine so you donât have to bring me any more!â
Yue Wuxin nodded and returned to her room.
Being healthy, Su Jincheng was able to recover extremely quickly and he was already as good as new by lunchtime.
They then left in the afternoon.
Su Jincheng was aware of Luo Qiqiâs location since he always asked her where she was when they spoke on the phone.
However, he didnât tell Luo Qiqi that he was visiting because he wanted to give her a surprise.
Luo Qiqi was taking a vacation in Sanya, and Su Jincheng had already checked on which hotel and room she was staying in!
Su Jincheng and Yue Wuxin headed straight for the hotel upon arrival.
Yue Wuxinâs room was directly opposite Luo Qiqiâs, while Su Jinchengâs room was the one beside Luo Qiqi.
While Yue Wuxin was still thinking about whether she should knock on Luo Qiqiâs door to create some sort of misunderstanding, Su Jincheng had already made his move.
He called Luo Qiqi when he was still in his room.
Luo Qiqi just came out of the shower before she answered the phone.
Since they had just spoken not long ago, she said, âWhat? Why arenât you protecting your boss in Russia? Why do you keep calling me!â
Su Jincheng smiled. âWho made you so upset? Let me teach him a lesson!â
âWell, I wouldnât dare trouble you on that. Youâre supposed to belong to somebody else now!â
âI smell jealousy in the air!â
âYou just have a bad sense of smell!â
âIs that so!â Su Jinchengâs grin grew wider.
âIs this why you called? You called and asked me a thousand and one questions earlier, and now youâre just spouting nonsense. Donât you have a job to do?â
Su Jincheng then coughed to clear his throat.
âIâm just bored. My dear Miss Luo Qiqi, can you tell me what youâre up to right now?â
Luo Qiqi took a sip of water before answering. âI just took a shower and Iâm planning to go to the balcony to bask in the sun!â
Su Jincheng walked towards the balcony in his room as he said, âThe sun in Sanya isnât too bad!â
Luo Qiqi lay on the lounge chair in the balcony and said, âYouâre not even in Sanya. How would you know? Itâs raining here now, but the weather is still pretty hot!â
Su Jincheng looked up at the cloudless, blue sky. There was not even a drizzle.
âIs that so? Why do I see that itâs sunny in Sanya! Is it a fake Sanya Iâm seeing?â
That surprised tone of his tickled Luo Qiqi.
âTold you youâre not in Sanya. Of course itâs a fake one!â
âHow about you look up to your left!â
Luo Qiqi turned to her left, wondering why he would tell her that.
âEven if I turn to my left, there would be nothing...â
She stopped when she saw Su Jincheng standing at the balcony right beside hers.
Whatâs going on? Isnât he supposed to be in Russia with Yue Wuxin? Why is he here?
Su Jincheng watched her with joy. âWhat? Is it raining very heavily in Sanya? Why is the weather so different when weâre only a wall apart?â
So he knew I was lying all this while.
Annoyed, she said, âWho knows if youâre really in Sanya. The weather there is different from what I see here!â
Su Jincheng found her adorable. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYouâre right. Iâm in a totally different Sanya. May I invite Miss Luo to my room for a visit!â
âIâm not going! Why are you here? Arenât you supposed to be with your owner? Did she allow you to go out on your own?â
âQiqi, stop saying that sheâs my owner. Youâll be my only owner. Iâm just repaying a debt to Yue Wuxin, which is why I agreed to be her bodyguard for three years. Iâm true to you!â
âFine, fine, fine! Stop there!â
âSo why are you here? Are you going to tell me that youâve sent me a present and that you are the present itself?â
Su Jincheng smacked his own forehead at this. âWhat a good idea. Why didnât I think of that? I should have stood at your door when I called and asked you to pick up a parcel!â
Luo Qiqi laughed.
âCome over then. Iâll sign off on the delivery!â
Su Jincheng looked at her. âReally?â
Luo Qiqi nodded. âReally. I donât lie!â
She raised a brow at him. Iâll see how you enter if I donât open the door later!
Luo Qiqi was extremely satisfied with her plan.
In fact, Luo Qiqi was overjoyed that Su Jincheng was here.
However, she couldnât bring herself to show him how happy she was because she was still annoyed at him for not telling her the truth for two whole years!
Judging from that mischievous look on her face, Su Jincheng could already guess that Luo Qiqi must have wanted to play a trick on him.
Instead of knocking on her door, he decided to jump over the balcony railing into her balcony directly.
Luo Qiqi was rather surprised at this. She knew that he could have easily hopped over, but she didnât expect him to really do that.
Su Jincheng then swept her up in an embrace.
Gosh, whatâs up with this guy!
Back in the room, they caught up with each other and the conversation turned to The Dark Night.
The rivalry between The Dark Night and Sin Eliminators was already giving Luo Qiqi a major headache. She didnât want Su Jincheng to return to The Dark Night if possible.
However, Su Jincheng told her that The Dark Night was something he would never give up on, and he refused to see the two organizations continue being at loggerheads with each other either.
He wanted to put The Dark Night back on the right track before leaving the organization.
He felt that it was because of him that The Dark Night turned into what it is today. Things might not have taken such a turn only if he had been more careful in the past.
Luo Qiqi understood his point of view and expressed her support. âIâll help you take back The Dark Night and put it in the hands of those who are capable. We wonât let it become a tool for violence and we wonât let it be used as a weapon against Sin Eliminators either!â
Su Jincheng looked at Luo Qiqi with loving eyes as she continued, âBelieve me, Iâm no weakling. Iâll be with you for the entire journey!â
