209: Chapter 33 Life as a Bodyguard 209: Chapter 33 Life as a Bodyguard Liu Nai’s economics class was at ten in the morning.

Prior to this, she took Tang Zheng and the three others to stroll around the mall.

She shopped generously, exhibiting the extravagance of a wealthy young lady.

Having experienced an Alien attack, Zhang Yifeng and Bai Guo were extremely tense.

They were vigilantly inspecting every passing customer, as if they could just pull off their skin and transform into an Alien at any moment.

Tie Ying was more calm, only keeping his right hand tucked in his suit, gripping the handle of his gun.

Tang Zheng was the calmest of all, accompanying Liu Nai and observing everything around him, like a tourist.

In fact, after further deepening his relationship with Sister Xin Lan, he was contemplating buying her a gift.

“Can you guys please stop being so timid?

You’re making me nervous.” Liu Nai felt uncomfortable, believing they were blowing things out of proportion.

“Liu Nai, you don’t understand, there could be a facehugger ready to jump out from the stomach of these strangers at any moment and pounce on us.” Zhang Yifeng was keen to clarify when he sensed a misunderstanding.

“That’s a really disgusting joke.

Stop kidding me.” Liu Nai did not believe him at all, pointing at Tang Zheng, “Why isn’t he nervous at all?

Does he not care about my life?”

Coming shopping was Liu Nai’s plan to keep Tang Zheng on his toes, to trouble him.

Yet, he seemed to be enjoying it more than she was; truly exasperating.

“We would also die if anything happened to you, so why wouldn’t he be nervous?

This calm demeanor is just a pretense to attract your interest.” Zhang Yifeng whispered in Liu Nai’s ear, badmouthing Tang Zheng, “Don’t mind him; he is always this conceited.”

Bai Guo gave Zhang Yifeng a hard look and thought to herself, “What an annoying guy!”, she also said, “Your target is supposed to be Ai Li!”

“Hey, I’m thirsty.

Go get me a drink!” Not even a minute had passed before Liu Nai thought of her next prank.

She called out to Tang Zheng.

“I’ll go.” Zhang Yifeng was fretting over having no chance to show off his kindness, so he promptly ran off to get the drinks.

“I want ice cream!” Liu Nai, observing Zhang Yifeng’s retreating back, thought to herself, “Such a busy body.” Consequently, she proceeded to torment Tang Zheng even more.

Of course, Bai Guo wouldn’t let Tang Zheng fetch the ice cream.

She quickly stepped in and said, “What flavor would you like?”

“Anything is fine.” Liu Nai waved her hand impatiently to hurry Bai Guo along.

“I’m hungry.

I want to eat octopus balls.” After saying this, Liu Nai looked at Tie Ying and warned, “You’re not going to get it for him, are you?”

Tie Ying shrugged his shoulders, pretending to not have seen.

“Tang Zheng, didn’t you hear me?

I want octopus balls!” Liu Nai yelled, “Are you deaf?”

“Look, a willing servant is here for you.” Tang Zheng, who was looking at some ornaments, pointed towards Zhang Yifeng, who was carrying a bag of drinks and coming back.

He then continued to wander around.

“Liu Nai, here you go.

I didn’t know what you like to drink, so I bought one of each popular beverage.” Zhang Yifeng acted as if he didn’t see Liu Nai’s anger and presented an array of drinks with great enthusiasm.

Although he would be teleported away in a month, it didn’t matter.

What was important was to win him over.

If he could do so, it would not be in vain.

While standing next to Liu Nai, Zhang Yifeng greedily sneaked a peek at her chest, quickly averting his gaze as he was afraid he wouldn’t be able to control himself from pouncing on her.

If he were not physically adequate, he would’ve done so already.

Although it was just a glance, Liu Nai completely noticed Zhang Yifeng’s gaze.

She felt nauseous.

But instead of blowing up, she accepted a beverage and thanked him.

“If the Alien doesn’t appear in three more days, I’ll show you guys.

Do you think my father’s position as a councilman is a sham?” Compared to Ai Li, Liu Nai had a few tricks up her sleeve,

Ten minutes later, Liu Nai stopped at a suit store and asked the shop assistant to pick out suitable black suits for Tang Zheng and the others.

“How could we possibly accept this?

I have clothes to wear!” Zhang Yifeng showcased his modesty at the right moment.

“Do you look like bodyguards in these clothes?

Following me around for no reason, aren’t you afraid that my friends will misunderstand and secretly call my parents?” Liu Nai finally found a reason.

Since she couldn’t make Tang Zheng run errands, she decided to suppress him with her status.

Let everyone know that he is her bodyguard and must obey her.

“Don’t forget about the white shirts and leather shoes, and maybe we should also wear an earpiece?” Tang Zheng didn’t mind.

Being a bodyguard was not bad either since he wouldn’t need to explain his background when asking Liu Nai for a leave.

Once the female shop assistant brought the shirts, Tang Zheng picked up one and went into the dressing room, quickly taking off his sportswear and put it to one side.

The Firefly fireproof clothing was very thin, so it could not be detected under the suit.

Only a bit was visible at the neckline.

Not to be outdone, Zhang Yifeng also entered the changing room.

Liu Nai stood with her hands behind her back, tapping the heels of her high heels on the floor, repeatedly drawing horizontal lines as she contemplated the next way to teach Tang Zheng a lesson.

Just then, a gasp from a female store clerk caught her attention, prompting her to turn her head and follow the clerk’s gaze.

A tall and straight figure, wide shoulders and tapered waist, the tailored black suit added to his elegance.

His sharply cut facial features and handsome appearance complemented his attire.

As Tang Zheng stood there, he resembled the Alps covered in year-round snow, which embodied a millennia of history.

His twin black pupils reflected the clear blue sky like lakes, shimmering with intelligence and warmth.

His firmly set lips were stamped with determination and defiance.

“Pretty cool, isn’t he?

At least he’d be something to show off if he were my boyfriend.

But why does he have to ruin his look with that mountaineering bag?” Liu Nai was also somewhat taken aback by Tang Zheng’s new image before retorting, “It seems I still need to teach you how to dress properly.”

Tang Zheng flashed a smile at the store clerk, clad in black stockings, and politely asked about the price before opening his mountaineering bag.

“I thought I was paying.” Liu Nai quickly took out her wallet from her handbag.

She didn’t want to lose face in front of the store clerk, buying him a new outfit was a small but long-lasting favor that would remind him of his inferiority to her.

She didn’t know of any punishment more satisfying than this.

Then Liu Nai and the clerk were dumbstruck, as they caught sight of stacks of crisp Japanese yen notes haphazardly piled up in the mountaineering bag.

Judging by the size of the bag, there had to be over ten million.

“Who even carries money like that around?

Isn’t it tiring?” The clerk reflexively asked before seeing Liu Nai rush over to relieve Tang Zheng of his bag.

“I’ll carry it for you.”

“Is that normal…?” the clerk was confused about the nature of their relationship.

“The suit fits perfectly, thank you, Liu Nai…” Zhang Yifeng was confident about his physique.

He had timed his entrance perfectly to steal the show, but just as he was about to deliver his rehearsed lines, he fell silent.

Liu Nai and the female clerk had spared him a cursory glance before shifting their attention elsewhere, not even pausing for a second.

“That bastard stole my thunder again.” Zhang Yifeng glared at Tang Zheng, seething with jealousy.

During the economic class in the morning, on a whim, Liu Nai had dragged Tang Zheng into the lecture hall.

The thought of his discomfort under the curious stares of their classmates had amused her, but who would have thought that she would be the one who ends up embarrassed after only ten minutes.

Even sitting in the last row of the lecture hall, Liu Nai could not sit still.

She wished she could run away.

She didn’t hear a word the professor was saying.

All she could hear were murmurs of gossiping classmates.

Even notes began to fly her way, asking who the young man in the suit beside her was.

But what was this guy up to?

He just sat there, unfazed by the surroundings, writing his plans on some A4 paper from a classmate.

His face betrayed zero expressions.

As if he were the only one in the classroom.

Unable to bear it any longer, Liu Nai dropped her head onto the desk, her face flushed as countless sets of eyes traced her way.

She regretted bringing Tang Zheng into class and sitting by his side.

In her frustration, she threw a hard elbow jab his way.

Thump.

Tang Zheng caught it, hand still writing.

“Hehe, they seem to be flirting.” Some girls in the back row laughed softly.

It was obvious that they had been paying attention.

“This damn guy.” Hearing those comments, Liu Nai was so flushed that she wished class would end soon.

As the bell sounded, Liu Nai was on her feet, running towards the door.

Thud.

In her haste, she knocked over a female student’s textbook and pen, and didn’t stop to pick them up.

“She’s a bit temperamental, don’t take it to heart.” Tang Zheng apologized to the female student, bending over to pick up her belongings and placing them back on her desk in the exact same spot.

“It’s no problem, Anuo.

Could I ask you what your name is?” The ordinary-looking girl cheerfully struck up a conversation, finding Tang Zheng’s thoughtfulness pleasant.

“Tang Zheng.” Liu Nai reappeared at the door, shouting his name.

Upon seeing him talking to a girl, she got even more upset, “What are you waiting for?

Let’s go.”

“Now you know.” Tang Zheng managed to apologize before chasing after Liu Nai.

“Didn’t expect you to be so good with women.” After meeting up with Zhang Yifeng and the others on campus, Liu Nai rushed everyone to her destination.

It was orginally planned for the afternoon, but she was eager to see Tang Zheng’s temper curbed now.

“Just average.” Tang Zheng kept a poker face even though he was laughing inside.

It was indeed fun to tease girls.

As his relationship with Sister Xin Lan progressed, he felt himself becoming more open and cheerful.

He was forgetting about his gloomy past, even his ten-year post-university dream of accumulating a fortune that would last a lifetime was fading away.

“As long as I am alive, I should live every minute to the fullest.

Shouldn’t have any regrets when death comes knocking!” Tang Zheng adjusted his mindset, more diligently attempting to trump the ‘Trojan Horse Game’.

“Hungry right, but before having a meal, there is one more thing to do.” Liu Nai, in a haste, led them to a university club.

“Kendo Club?” Zhang Yifeng couldn’t help but yell in confusion, hearing the constant shouts and crashing of wooden swords inside.

“If you want to be my bodyguard, you have to prove yourselves first.

If you can’t even beat an ordinary person, you can leave now.” (To be continued.
