416 The Beauty (2/2)
Ying was in the alert mode as her eyes sparkled, ”Yes, yes. Anything is good. I'm even willing to be a sweeper at this point.” Xin Zimen brows raised at her and she laughed awkwardly, ”Not that I want to be a sweeper. I was just trying to show you my desperation.”
Xin Zimen looked at her thoughtfully, ”But I certainly find that idea very amusing.”
”Zizi!!!”
Xin Zimen winced while rubbing his ear. ”Stop shouting.”
”I won't shout only if you stop teasing me now.” She rubbed her hands together and asked eagerly, ”So, what's the job?”
”The job is pretty simple,” he said. ”You just have to protect someone.”
”Like a bodyguard?”
”Hmm... More like a shadow.”
”Like a guardian angel?” she sounded really excited while grinning at him.
Xin Zimen was at a loss to see her behaving like this. Being a bodyguard was definitely the lowest of the ranks in their organization and yet she seemed like she won a lottery. ”Whatever you wanna call it.”
”I always wanted to be a guardian angel. Protecting the beauty in secret, hiding, and loving in secret. Aiyo! I'm already thrilled.”
Xin Zimen coughed and when she looked at him worriedly he said, ”You're confusing the genders here.”
Ying replayed the words she just said and looked horrified, ”I didn't mean it like that. I mean that's what I saw in those movies.”
”When did you start watching movies?”
”I had a very interesting subordinate once. She was obsessed with movies. And she took me to watch some movies as well. So, I think I got this habit from her.” Ying was babbling without caring that Xin Zimen had no interest in her reminiscing. ”Although I no longer know where she is, I certainly am stuck with this habit of hers.”
”Ying'er!”
”Yes?”
”I don't care.”
”Oh...” she felt wronged when he said he wasn't interested in listening to her talking about good old memories. ”So, who is the beauty I'm protecting?”
”How are you certain that it's a beauty?”
”Just an intuition.”
”Your intuition is as scary as ever,” said Xin Zimen before telling her the name of the 'beauty' as she called it.
